Free Train Ride!
A message from Joan Wilcoxen:
I have GREAT NEWS for our military families in the area! Farm Rail, the Altus ASYMCA, and the City of Lone Wolf are hosting a FREE 4th of July Train Ride for all military families in the area!
Active duty military and retirees and their families are welcome to ride FREE on the "Independence Day Special Excursion" of the Quartz Mountain Flyer. Families of Deployed troops are very welcome, too! The trip begins at the Quartz Mountain Whistle Stop at the junction of Highway 44 and 44A, where boarding begins on Saturday July 4th at 2:30. The air conditioned passenger train features large panoramic windows, reclining seats, and spotless restrooms. The twenty mile round trip leaves the station at three o'clock, and the route journeys over the storied “Orient Line” that linked Kansas City with the Pacific Coast of Mexico. The train will stop at the City of Lone Wolf to enjoy the 4th of July Parade there, and then return to Quartz Mountain by 5:30. Farm Rail salutes the sacrifices and dedication of our Military families by hosting this special appreciation ride. FREE Tickets are available for the whole military family by calling Margie at the City of Lone Wolf at 580-846-9078 to make your reservation. Tickets are first come-first served, so call today!
***********The 3pm ride is completely booked, but I just booked a free one at 10am (boarding starts at 9:30). Unfortunately we'll miss the parade, but I think my 3 year old will love it anyway! Don't know how many seats are left, so hurry and Call Margie at 580-846-9078 today!

Let's Go Swimming!
First- the Base Pool. Sign up for swimming lessons through Outdoor Rec. They have 3 different sessions with different skill levels. The lessons are in the morning and free swim starts at 1p. Outdoor Rec also sells pool passes and family pool passes. As you come in the base gates, and start onto the round-about, Outdoor Rec is on the first right off the round-about. The building is on your right hand side and has a canoe over the entry.
Second- Altus Swimming Complex. This is the pool for the city of Altus. It is managed by the Parks and Rec department. I received a very full printed spreadsheet of times and schedules, but I haven't been able to find it on the City Parks & Rec website. (If you have a copy, please email me.) From what I see, the enrollment for swimming classes are May 28th and 29th.
Session 2 - June 15-25
Session 3 - June 29 - July 9
Open swim at the city pool is from 1p-4p then 5p-8p, 7 days a week, and the cost is $3. Swim lessons appear to be at various times and skill levels in the mornings, M-Th.

FOR IMMEDIATE AND REPEATED RELEASE UNTIL MIDNIGHT ON APRIL 21, 2009
Tamarack Road Closing for Transformer Move
ALTUS, OKLAHOMA, April 16, 2009/--After years of planning and work, the new Veterans Substation, located at Veterans and Tamarack, is ready to receive the transformer that is the center of the substation operations. The transformer will be moved from its present location at the Tamarack Substation on West Tamarack on Tuesday, April 21. The move will begin at 8:00 AM on Tuesday and is expected to take approximately 10 hours. To facilitate the move, parts of West and East Tamarack will be closed in sequence as the transformer progresses to its new site. For safety reasons, the closings will include all public and private access to Tamarack, including streets, driveways, entrances, exits and alleys on Tamarack at some time during the move. Citizens are advised to allow for the closings and plan alternate routes as needed. The longest closings will be while the transformer is taken out of the Tamarack Substation and when it is being moved into the Veterans Substation; the actual transport will take less time. After the transformer has passed each section, the accesses will be reopened to traffic as soon as possible. Beginning at 8:00 AM, the sequence of the closings will be as follows:
Section 1
The intersection of Bradford St. and Market Rd. will be closed to all north bound traffic,
Tamarack and Market Road will be closed to all east bound traffic,
The west entrance to the Southwest Area Vo-Tech will be closed to all traffic, and
Flamingo Road and Tamarack will be closed to all traffic while the transformer is removed from the Tamarack Substation and begins moving eastward. This part of the move may take several hours and all intersections will remain closed until the transformer has passed Tamarack and Main.
Section 2
On Tamarack the east entrance to the Vo-Tech, the entrance to the Health Department, all the southern entrances and exits to Western Oklahoma State College and all northern entrances and exits to the Red River Federal Credit Union will be closed to all traffic, Robin and Tamarack will be closed to all traffic, Main and Tamarack will be closed to all traffic and all intersections will remain closed until the transformer has passed Tamarack and Main.
Section 3
Tamarack Road between Main Street and Park Lane will be closed to all eastbound traffic and
All public and private entrances and exits to the south side of Tamarack between Main and Park Lane will be closed until the transformer has passed Park Lane.
Section 4
Tamarack east of Park Lane and Veterans north of Falcon Road will be closed to all traffic,
All entrances
North bound traffic on Veterans will be diverted onto Falcon Road,
East bound traffic on Veterans will be diverted south on Park Lane,
All public and private entrances and exits to both sides of Tamarack east of Park Lane will be closed, and
All public and private entrances and exits to both sides of Veterans north of Falcon will be closed until the transformer has been placed in the Veterans substation, a procedure that could take several hours. Once the transformer is in place, all traffic on all streets will be returned to normal.
Altus Power would like to thank everyone for their patience and cooperation during the move and remind anyone with questions or concerns about the move or the closings to contact us at 580-481-2240. The office is open Monday through Friday, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

Time to Plant-
Its almost time to start planting here in Altus. If you're looking for some tomato plants or some peppers; maybe an herb garden or perhaps a flower bed- You have to stop by Southwest Garden Center. Its a little over 7 miles north of "the square" on HWY 283. (almost to Blair) As you drive north on 283, the green houses are on your left. The staff is so very friendly & knowledgable and the prices are excellent. I priced plants at... a major discount chain... only to find tomato plants were $3.50/ea. After I picked my jaw up from the floor and drove the short bit to Southwest Garden Center, I was thrilled to learn their plants start at $.39. Yes thirty-nine-cents. Support local! And enjoy the afternoon picking out plants for the kids, the garden and your home. Happy Spring!

Altus Yard Sales
Many of you have told me about the websites http://www.sillyardsales.com and http://www.craigslist.com as ways of buying/selling items to those in the local area. Well, I was just told about a new site for Altus similar to the Ft. Sill Yard Sale website. It is http://www.altusyardsales.com and is a place where you can post items you want to buy/sell or post an actual garage sale that you are having.
If you have some things sitting around your house that you want to try and sell, snap a picture and put it on their website. The more people that hear about it and post their items, the more of an excellent resource this can be. Enjoy!
