Jan. 4--Jeanne Fraze soon will see her 10-year-old family business condemned, as Oklahoma County commissioners voted Tuesday to file a lawsuit seeking her property. Fraze's Big Bud's gas station and ...convenience store in south Oklahoma City is the final piece of property in a $50 million land buyout that's been used to clear space around Tinker Air Force Base. The seizures have included about 120 land parcels and 105 homes since voters passed a bond issue for the project in 2002, Oklahoma County Treasurer Butch Freeman said. The majority of those purchases have been resolved in negotiations. Fraze has put up a three-year fight for the business at 5204 S Douglas, which she owns with her husband. "It's breaking our hearts," she said. "We don't know what we're going to do."
"Larry Hecker (Hecker) said, 'Thank you very much,' and next thing I knew he started getting back to me and giving me names," Fraze recalls. "In some respects, he did find TREO," Hecker says, "and ...Idea Xchange includes TREO. In that respect, by contacting me he was able to get over to TREO. I'm not even sure Bud Fraze knew what he was looking for." TREO's 21-member Entrepreneurial Economy Task Force aims to develop a plan to help entrepreneurs with funding and other needs, as an extension of TREO's "Economic Blueprint" long-range development plan.
The Lady Rams rested their top two players, Ella Erf and Bethany Self. Sophomores Kassandra Short and Tessa Bryant played Nos. 1 and 2 singles and teamed up at No. 1 doubles. Short won handily in ...singles, but Bryant had to rally from a one- set deficit for a 10-7 win in the third-set super-tiebreaker against Rebecca Schepper, and Short and Bryant needed a third-set tie- breaker to edge Scheper and Jackie Towson in doubles after dropping the first set. Michelle Wallis said the Lady Rams are gearing toward postseason, playing at Class5A Clovis on Thursday, then traveling to Lovington for a dual next Tuesday and again that weekend for the District 4-3A tournament.
"I think it worked out in our favor that we were the number two (seed) because of who we are playing in our bracket," Wallis said. "We are very familiar with those teams ... we've seen Lovington ...twice and Saint Michael's twice, so it's to our advantage that we know those teams and how they play and what kind of depth they have through their lineup and that helps us a lot with our strategy." "We are confident that we will do well," Wallis said. "We expect to make it to the semi-finals (against Saint Mike's). We'll do our best." "Our top three are really close," Wade Fraze said. "I wouldn't say they are interchangeable because they have different strengths and weaknesses, but they're all really close."
Apr. 25--The Portales boys and girls tennis teams head into Friday's District 4-3A tournament having both beaten Lovington 8-1 Tuesday at the Portales Junior High School tennis courts. The Rams ...started strong, winning all singles matches led by Portales senior Kyle Adams defeat of Lovington's Isaac Brown 6-7 (6- 8), 7-6 (7-2), 6-4. The Partin brothers also dominated their matches -- Walker defeated Tim Brown 6-3, 6-1 while Skyler beat Justin Calder 7-6 (7-4), 6-3. The only match the Rams lost was the No. 3 doubles between Colton Stanton/Ethan Riser and Tim Brown/Cade Lawson. The Lovington boys won that match 2-6, 6-1, 6-1.
Repairs are costing the Floyd Fire Department more than in the past with the increase of activity, said Leland Terry, Floyd Fire Chief. Repairs to one fire truck alone will cost the department over ...$10,000. Response to the increased number of calls has also caused more money to be spent for general repairs, said Terry. Emergency calls to the Dora Volunteer Fire Department are up a considerable amount compared to normal, said Becky Fraze, village clerk of Dora. The fire department averages 50 to 60 emergency calls each year. This year that number has risen to 96, with another two months of the year remaining, said Fraze. This year alone, Dora has responded to and helped fight over 135,000 acres of grass fires. Dora has been able to recoup some of their losses from funding that was received from the New Mexico State Forestry Division, said Fraze.
May 10--When Portales High's Ella Erf and Bethany Self take the No. 1 seed into doubles competition in this weekend's Class 1A-3A state individual tennis tournament in Albuquerque, they'll be ...shooting for perfection. Representing the PHS boys this weekend are senior Logan Brown in singles and senior Matt Tucker and junior Kyle Adams in doubles. Brown and Tucker were both on the PHS boys team that qualified for state a year ago. Brown (14-8) split two matches this season with his first-round opponent, Ruidoso freshman Jake Ordencia, and if he wins would take on top-seeded Ken Lynch of New Mexico Military in the quarters.
