Bowden bond would upgrade buildings
Patrons of an independent school district in west Tulsa County will vote next month on a bond issue that would bring more classroom space, a new library and gym and other upgrades.
A vote for the $2.5 million issue is scheduled for March 4, said Allen-Bowden Superintendent Penny Haynes.
The school, 7049 Frankoma Road, is an independent district with about 400 students in prekindergarten through eighth grade.
Included in the bond issue are a new gymnasium and a new classroom building that would include a library, Haynes said.
The existing gym and library would be repurposed, she said.
The current gymnasium facility, Haynes said, is lacking in space and has no air-conditioning.
The new gymnasium, which would be about twice the size of the existing gym, would be more suitable for students and visitors alike, with a doubled seating capacity and nice stage, Haynes said.
IdleAire to eliminate 40 positions
IdleAire Technologies Corp. announced Thursday it was cutting 40 positions in a move expected to save the Knoxville-based company $4 million a year. Half the jobs are currently vacant and will not be filled, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The filing did not provide details on which positions are being eliminated. IdleAire spokesman John Doty declined to comment Thursday because of SEC restrictions while the company is considering going public. The company has not said when it plans to go public, how many shares of stock will be offered or at what price. In its SEC filing, the company said its reorganization will include consolidating various departments and functions, although it did not offer details. Employees affected by the cutback will receive a severance package based on their job and longevity with the company and job placement assistance, the company said.
Religion too big a part of elections

Starving the people of the Ukraine to death must have also been the intellectually superior act of love. Adolf Hitler was as left wing as you could ask for. I don't allow the propagandists to tell me what that creep was. Too many of our families were slaughtered by that left wing extremists. Do a bit of in depth study please. What pray tell do you think the word NAZI means? " .
