Run primarily by volunteers, this is the 12th Welcome Center in Oklahoma, but, the first to represent a state and city partnership. The state owns the building, but, the center is operated and managed by the City of Midwest City.

According to the center’s Manager, Freeda Hendley, travel counselors provide warm greetings and assistance with any travel needs to the visitors. In 2011, the center welcomed approximately 50,000 guests, who represented nearly every state in the U.S. and several foreign countries.

The center remains stocked with 150-250 travel brochures with information about lodging, attractions, historical landmarks and event throughout the state. The brochures are provided and updated on a monthly basis by the State Department of Tourism. A gift shop is located in the front lobby where visitors can purchase Made in Oklahoma products, Native American jewelry and much more. The center also offers playground facilities for visitors and Midwest City residents to enjoy. From planning trip itineraries to giving directions to the nearest hotels and gas stations, travel counselors provide guests with tools to utilize to enhance their experience in Midwest City.

“Our travel counselors provide guests with information not only for attractions and events but services they can utilize for gas, shopping, etc. Sometimes people just need help and meeting their needs helps to make a direct impact on our local economy,” said Hendley.

The center is operated by part-time staff and volunteers. From July-April of this past year, center volunteers put in a total of nearly 1,500 hours. Each year a volunteer appreciation luncheon is held and the travel counselor who has donated the most hours is recognized as the Volunteer of the Year.

The Oklahoma Welcome Center of Midwest City hours of operation are: 8:30 a.m.- 5:00 p.m. 7 days a week, closing only on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. For more information please visit www.midwestcityok.org or call the center at: 405-739-8232.

The event will include a 1.5 mile family ride and a 3 mile adult ride.  Both rides begins at 6:00 p.m., with registration beginning at 5:00 p.m.

The event is held in conjunction with the Association Central Oklahoma Governments (ACOG) for the purpose of promoting  bike riding within communities.  "We want to promote fitness and healthy living within our community and this event is a great way for citizens to start riding their bikes and exercising," said Ana Starr, Community Development Planner. 

Participants may register for the grand prize giveaway, which is a new children's bike and helmet.  Event T-shirts will be given to the first 30 participants.

According to Lt. Matthew Dukes, the equipment will provide the department capabilities for off- road, all-terrain vehicle assistance for missing person cases, disaster assistance, evidence retrieval, urban search and rescue and will provide a low cost method of law enforcement transportation. The Segway also allows officers to be above the crowd to look for and identify threats. In addition, the all-terrain, off-road vehicle will allow the deployment of a quick or rapid response team in cases of special events of disasters.

“The grant to fund the purchases of the UTV and Segway will really help boost the productivity of the Midwest City Police Department. We will be able to respond to calls in all-terrain settings in a faster, more efficient way with the UTV, as well as maintain peace and a strong sense of community by use of the Segway,” said Dukes.

“The primary objective from this equipment is to provide a safe and secure environment for the citizens of Midwest City. These purchases will show an immediate benefit to the department and community,” Dukes added.

The decision to not identify public storm shelters is not an easy one to make, but the overwhelming contradicting information is more than can be ignored. The rationale behind the decisions to not designate public buildings as storm shelters is outlined in the paragraphs below:

· Travel to a Shelter – One of the biggest challenges with public storm shelters is the requirement that citizens must travel to a distant location during a severe weather event, exposing them to the very hazard they are attempting to avoid.  Vehicles are NEVER a safe place during significant severe weather events. A significant number of tornado related deaths are attributed to being in a vehicle1. On the other hand, standard residential construction (manufactured housing excluded) typically provides survivable protection for approximately 98 percent of the tornados we experience in Oklahoma2 IF those potentially impacted seek shelter early by moving to the lowest possible level in a small interior room or closet away from exterior openings such as doors or windows. The exceptions to this recommendation are those living in mobile homes and many manufactured structures.  Those living in mobile homes and many manufactured structures MUST take shelter in a safe room or personal storm shelter (discussed below) or travel to a safer location well in advance of the storm’s arrival.  Well constructed residential safe rooms or personal storm shelters provide the BEST protection against the impact of tornadoes, including those considered as extremely violent.  These types of personal shelters provide the same, if not greater, protection than public storm shelters without the travel risk and other issues.

· Shelter Capacity – Most local jurisdictions simply do not have access to enough readily available and functionally feasible sheltering locations to accommodate even a reasonably small percentage of their population.  This often leads to people traveling to a public storm shelter site only to find the shelter is full, putting themselves and their families at greater risk.  Public storm shelters are not designed to protect thousands of citizens.  If a jurisdiction were to try to construct and maintain sufficient space to protect even a majority of its population, the costs would be prohibitive.

· Shelter Availability – The shelters may not always be open. In many instances, if they exist, local public storm shelters are either unstaffed or staffed by volunteers, volunteers that may not always be available.  In other words, there might not be anyone available to open and manage the shelter.  Even those shelters intended to be opened and operated by paid personnel may not always be open if those people are unavailable.

· Shelter Construction – The shelter construction standards have evolved over the last several years as a result of thorough engineering tests.  Many facilities designated as shelters in the past no longer meet the current FEMA shelter construction standards, nor do they meet the current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance standards.  Concerns of not providing adequate and safe shelters also apply to well-meaning private property owners that offer their structures as shelters.

· Shelter Rules, Risks and Liabilities – Many jurisdictions have determined that the risks and liabilities associated with providing and operating public storm shelters out-weigh the potential benefit; particularly when viewed with other factors including those listed above.

If there are public shelters…

· Even for those jurisdictions that do provide public shelters, which again is very limited, we strongly recommend the local Emergency Manager be contacted during pre-event planning to determine exact locations, alternate travel routes to reach the shelter(s), potential hours of availability (some are simply not available while “regular occupants” such as school children are present), access or functional needs capabilities, shelter rules (typically no pets, no smoking, no alcohol, etc.), and available space.  People have lined up outside of shelters in the severe weather or sat in their cars in the parking lot when there simply was no room inside for them, and it was far too late to go anywhere else.

The Better Solution is Personal Pre-planning for you and your family.

Personal preparedness limits risk and anxiety. The past shows that having a personal plan and staying informed (or awareness) are the two critical elements in staying safe during a severe weather event.

· Develop a plan, practice that plan, and make sure all family members and group members are aware of the plan.  If travel is necessary, the decision to relocate must be made early in an event and should include the pre-event identification of an appropriate shelter site, preferably with other individuals, friends, family members, etc.  This preplanned location must always be available, or availability must be verifiable well in advance of the event.
· Having an underground shelter or safe room built in your home or business that meets FEMA standards can help provide near absolute protection from injury or death caused by dangerous winds.  Near absolute protection means that, based on current knowledge of tornadoes, the occupant of a personal shelter built according to FEMA guidance will have a very high probability of being protected from injury or death.
· An interior room in the lowest part of the home, as a rule, is usually survivable. A central small closet is best while taking other precautions like bicycle helmets and padding to protect from flying projectiles.

· Awareness is a critical factor.  Knowing of a potential severe weather threat is critical and there are a variety of information sources available to provide warnings.  These sources include:
· Programmable All-Hazards Radios,
· Multiple “free” notification systems/methods available from local television and radio stations for computers, telephones, electronic devices, etc.,
· Internet,
· Telephone “call down rosters” (PTOs, fraternal and church organizations…)
· Local broadcast media.

1. National Weather Service Data; statistics from 2006-2010 severe weather; combined vehicle and mobile home deaths related to tornado incidents is 50 percent of total number of casualties.

2. National Weather Service Data; only 0.2 percent of Oklahoma tornadoes are EF5.When you combine EF4 and EF5, those only account for 1.8 percent of all tornadoes.

The department wants you to know that fair housing means you have the right to choose where you live without fear of discrimination based on your race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or familial status.

If you think you are a victim of housing discrimination, please contact the Metropolitan Fair Housing Council of Greater Oklahoma City at 405.232.3247.

Also, as part of the month long recognition, the Grants Management Department will be hosting a Housing Display at the Midwest City Library, 8143 E. Reno on April 16th - 23rd. Attendees will receive information on fair housing, discrimination, rental assistance, financial services, home ownership and homebuyer assistance. Attendance is free.

Organized by Sgt. Terry Tilley, the event will educate new teenage drivers of the dangers and high risks of drinking, texting, cell phone use and driving at the same time. Testimonies, beginning at 8:45 a.m., will be given by individuals who have been involved in a DUI accident in which a death occurred. The testimonies will be presented at the MWC High School Performing Arts Center. A catered lunch will be provided.

According to Major Robert Cornelison, a mock accident, including a simulated death will take place. Assisting at the accident scene will be the MWC Police and Fire Departments, Emergency Management, Eagle-Med, Medi-Flight helicopters, and Barnes Wrecker Service. A full scale funeral service will follow, conducted by Bill Eisenhour Funeral Home.

According to Mike Bower, Emergency Management Director, Midwest City wants to provide fully reliable emergency awareness to its citizens in the event of a severe weather warning.
The outdoor sirens are located throughout the city, which are sounded during severe weather warnings to alert citizens to begin their evacuation plans and seek shelter.

Bower said that Midwest City has strategically placed the warning sirens throughout Midwest City to provide, clear, sufficient warning in the case of an emergency. Bower said that the cities sirens are sounded when a severe weather warning is in effect.

The sirens have been placed in the following locations:
● Meadowvale Dr. and Spencer Rd.
● W Blueridge Dr. and Glenhaven Villa Ct.
● N.E. 7th St. and Royal Ave.
● W. Myrtle Dr. and W. Peach St.
● E. Frolich Dr. and Flannery Dr.
● S.E. 15th and Willowind Park
● Reno Ave. and Buckboard Ln.
● S. Anderson Rd. and Tuscany Ridge Rd.
● Transfer Station, behind the MWC Service Center, 8730 S.E. 15th St.
● Northside Treatment Plant, N.E. 36th St.

Bower warns that it is important to remember sirens are an outdoor notification system and often cannot be heard when you are indoors, especially when the windows and doors are closed. If you hear a siren, it is time to seek shelter.

The NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards helps to save lives by providing immediate broadcasts of severe weather warnings and civil emergency messages and by giving those in harm’s way critical lead time to respond and remain safe. NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards is a round-the-clock source of weather reports and timely, potential danger information.

With early warning from a NOAA Weather Radio receiver, you and your family have additional time to take adequate precautions, find shelter or reach safety. NOAA Weather Radio receivers, equipped with an alarm feature, can be programmed to sound a tone and give you immediate information about life-threatening situations in your vicinity any time, day or night.

It is highly recommended, especially for Oklahoma citizens, to obtain a NOAA Weather Radio for their home. Many times outdoor sirens cannot be heard from inside the home, and television transmissions may be inhibited by power outages during a severe storm.

NOAA Weather Radio receivers as well as ETON Red Cross weather alert radios, which receive NOAA transmissions, may be purchased at most Best Buy’s, Wal-Mart’s, Radio Shack’s or from online vendors. They range in price from $30.00-$70.00 based upon size and features.

Create an Emergency Plan. Schedule family meetings to discuss what constitutes a possible emergency, how you will respond to it and what to do in case of power outages and personal injury. Create home escape routes and make sure younger children know how to contact 9-1-1 emergency. Turn on a radio for emergency information and pick two meeting places, one near your home and one outside of your neighborhood in case you cannot return home after an emergency.

Prepare a Disaster Supply Kit. Electricity, water, heat, air conditioning or telephone service may not work in an emergency. Preparing disaster supply kits in advance can save precious time in the event you must evacuate or go without utilities for an extended period. Designate an easy-to-carry bag such as a backpack or duffle bag to store with necessary items such as: water, non-perishable food items, flashlight, batteries, any needed medications, first aid kit, change of clothing, blankets, and any family or family physician information that may be beneficial.

Be Storm Savvy. When a severe weather warning has been issued for your county, listen to the local media and take proper precautions. Stay informed with weather updates and have your weather radios ready in the event of a power outage. Have your emergency plan and disaster supply kit in place if you have to evacuate your home at a moment’s notice. Identify the safest place in your home or workplace if you need to seek immediate shelter.

The funds will be administered by the Rotary Foundation, a not-for-profit, 501c3 organization.

The quest for the Memorial actually began in early April 2010 when a community resident, Andy Cornelius, requested to the MWC Park Board a U.S. Flag in the Joe B. Barnes Regional Park be erected. The request was forwarded to several other community residents, most of them former military. It was quickly decided that the city needed a greater symbol, something that would create a much greater message of the dedication to this country. Thus came forth the idea for a Veteran’s Memorial. Citizens wanted to create a “living memorial” to not only honor veteran’s of the past, but the individuals defending America today and those that will take the post of vigilance in the future.

Organizers said the goal of the Rotary Club is to create a place of honor and recognition to the men and women who bravely serve our nation. The memorial will offer a place of tranquility for those who have offered their service to defend the freedoms we enjoy each and every day. In addition, it will be the primary location for all future community military events and recognitions.

A ground breaking ceremony is planned within the month, with completion of the memorial scheduled to be by Veteran’s Day 2012.

For additional information about the memorial and to learn how to make a donation, go to www.aplaceofhonor.org.

According to Anais Starr, Community Development Department, the theme is a continuation of Midwest City’s motto of “Where the Spirit Flies High.” It is expected that selected artist should think of modifying this saying to match their design. It is thought that this will not limit the artist but rather provide a jumping off point for the artist’s imagination and design through development of this theme. Designs that are offensive, political or sexual in nature will not be accepted.

“The reason we have chosen to display Shetland Ponies as public art is because the ponies were a big part of the founding of the community by W.P. Atkinson,” Starr said. “As a marketing strategy, Mr. Atkinson would give away a Shetland Pony to families that purchased homes from him in the 1950’s.” As a result many original families to Midwest City had a Shetland Pony in their backyard for their children to enjoy. In addition, he created the pony barn and stable on his own property where community children could go to ride and enjoy the ponies. Thus began the two decade long Shetland Pony prominence in Midwest City life.

“We hope that the citizens of Midwest City will enjoy these ponies and learn about the history and culture which makes our city so unique,” said City Manager J. Guy Henson.

The ponies will be life size in a standing pose. Made of fiber glass, each pony is approximately 3 feet tall and 3 ½ feet long and 1 foot wide. The ponies will be placed in public outdoor spaces such as the Town Center Plaza and will be mounted to concrete bases with plaques that have been engraved with the design title, artist and sponsors’ names.

Once artists’ proposals are submitted, they will be reviewed by the Midwest City Public Art Panel. All designs will be evaluated to ensure they conform to the guidelines. The panel may reject any design that does not adhere to the guidelines. Once review is completed the approved designs will be shared with sponsors. An artist stipend is being offered.

In addition, the City will be seeking sponsors for each pony. Corporations, businesses and non-profits are encouraged to sponsor the ponies. If you are interested in learning more about to become a sponsor, please call 405.739.1229 or email astarr@midwestcityok.org. Sponsorship of the ponies is to begin immediately.

The application submission deadline for artists is, April 30th, 2012.

According to Vaughn Sullivan, Community Services Director, the City has recently purchased a 16’ x 9’ movie screen that is fully equipped with a high quality sound system to provide a theatre like atmosphere in a fun, outdoor setting, weather permitting, of course.

“Many communities across the country are providing this entertainment activity with great success. We are very excited to bring another quality family activity to our community,” Sullivan said.

The movies will begin at dark or approximately 9:00 p.m. Families are encouraged to bring their lawn chairs, blankets and picnic baskets for an evening of great free entertainment.

The slate of movies titles will be released in the coming months.

Sullivan said that construction on the two (2) acre area, just west of the walking trails in Joe B. Barnes Regional Park, is getting ready for the installation of a black vinyl-coated chain link fence and two (2) large concrete pads, one for large dogs and one for smaller ones.  Once those features are installed, crews will begin the process of constructing the necessary dirt work, irrigation system and special features of the park.

In 2010, the City named a special committee to oversee the plans and development of the park.  The committee consisted of council members, park board members, City staff and residents.  "For several months, the committee traveled to every dog park in the Oklahoma City metro area to see how other communities developed and designed their parks.  Our committee took what they felt were the best features of each and had our architect, Fred Quinn & Associates, draw up plans that we think will make our park the best in the area," Sullivan said.

According to Sullivan, City crews will handle the majority of the construction and development of the park in-house.

The park is estimated to cost $149,000 and will be funded by a dedicated sales tax for parks and recreation.  For a view of the architectural renderings, go to www.midwestcityok.org.

Sullivan estimates the park will be open for visitors this summer.

The project replaces the two (2) twenty-year old underground storage tanks (UTS), none of which are currently bio-fuel compatible, with three new UST's, (bio-diesel, ethanol, unleaded) and will replace the four existing pumps/dispensers with two new blender pumps to accomplish proper alternative fuel blends.  In addition to the upgrades to the storage and dispensing hardware, a new fuel site control system that gives the ability to electronically lock each vehicle into using the cleanest fuel available and it is certified for will be installed.

"Meeting the energy needs of the future requires a balanced solution, one that includes innovative thinking, environmentally responsible actions and cost effective projects like this one.  We are missing out on an excellent opportunity to reduce our carbon footprint by currently not having alternative fuels available for our City vehicles.  Our bio-fuels refueling project is a huge step for the City of Midwest City's green initiative," Fleet Services Manager Craig Davis said.

Currently, there are 500 plus tagged city vehicles and none currently operate on alternative fuel.  The new bio-fueling island will allow the 80 plus city vehicles, which qualify for alternative fuels, to receive them.  The fueling station will also be fully equipped with a new leak detection system to prevent any harmful occurrences.

The City received a Conversion Grant in the amount of $147,190 from the Association of Central Oklahoma Government (ACOG) that it will apply to this project, with the remaining $123,507.97 to come from various City Capital Outlay funds.  The project is estimated to take approximately forty-five days to complete.

Interested citizens are invited to come by the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program at the Nick Harroz Community Center, 200 N. Midwest this week to gather information on Individual Development Accounts (IDA's), which are government matched savings accounts as well as savings accounts, credit rules, retirement and other important financial information.

The VITA hous of operation are Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1 p.m. - 7 p.m.  Volunteers will be on hand to assist and answer your questions.
