    NOTE TO THE READER This book is an attempt to arrive at a view of twentieth-century history that explains the events. I have made available all my sources in the Notes. I am aware that the quality of the sources varies. Some are unimpeachable, others of more dubious reliability. The truth is that there is quite simply not always a good source for every judgment in this field. Government of any kind involves secrecy. I have put it all down, warts and all, and leave it to the reader's judgment as to whether it is all smoke and no fire. My people perish for lack of knowledge. Hosea 4:6 It will be enough for me ... if these words of mine are judged useful by those who want to understand clearly the events which happened in the past and which (human nature being what it is) will, at some time or other and in much the same ways, be repeated in the future. My work is not a piece of writing designed to meet the taste of an immediate public; but was done to last for ever. Thucydides, History of The Peloponnesian War ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am grateful to the authors of the books that appear in the Notes, many of whom had the courage to question the official line and describe current affairs as they saw them. I am grateful to many people who have shared my enthusiasm for finding out what is really happening in the world today, the story behind the news: the story the public is not told.

Its production of one half barrel per day is used as ‘dip oil’ to remove ticks from cattle. 1897 The Nellie Johnstone #1, the first commercial well drilled in Oklahoma, discovers the Bartlesville-Dewey Field in Washington County. 1900 University of Oklahoma School of Geology founded by Charles N. Gould. 1903 First commercial use of natural gas begins at a brick plant in Tulsa. 1905 Glenn Pool oil field is discovered near Tulsa in Creek County. This field helps push State production from 4,000 to more than 22,000 barrels per day. Owned in large part by Henry Ford Sinclair, it became central in the formation of the Sinclair Oil Company in 1916. 1906 Oklahoma Natural Gas Company is formed to deliver gas to Oklahoma City. 1907 Oklahoma and the Indian Territories become the State of Oklahoma. Oklahoma becomes the largest oil-producer, with Tulsa claiming the title of "Oil Capital of the World." 1908 The Oklahoma Geological Survey is established by mandate of the State Constitution, with Dr. Charles N. Gould becoming its first director. 1910 E. W. Marland founds Marland Oil Company, which merges with Conoco in Ponca City in 1929.

  • Background Document
    Energy and Water Our 2003 Town Hall Julie Knutson, President and CEO, The Oklahoma Academy John Feaver, 2003 Town Hall Chairman and President, University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma This document was assembled to allow Town Hall members to educate themselves on the Energy and Water issues prior to our November Town Hall. It will help you become reasonably fluent and able to participate in informed group debate and discussions. And it will serve as a reference source for you. We suspect that ... before August 14th ... some were wondering why we think that energy and water are so important to Oklahoma and the Nation. Then the lights went out in the Northeast. Our Research Chairman was in New York at the time. He reports that the most often uttered four-letter word was ... G-R-I-D ... as in power grid. He also reported that the most important short-term concern was “getting enough water.” He told us that one of the first things that came to mind was that we selected a wonderfully timed topic for our 2003 Town Hall. We have slightly reorganized our Town Hall. This year our Academy Vice-Chairman will be the presiding officer over all Town Hall activities. And we have enlisted two experienced co-chairs; one for Energy and one for Water. They will help keep us on task and in focus as we conduct the Town Hall. We also have done something else differently. We have included the public policy recommendations that are a part of the state’s existing Energy and Water Plans.

  • Ponca City, City of Estimate of Needs (Kay County)
    City of Ponca City, Oklahoma 2016-17 Budget Progress Through People Prepared by: Marc L. LaBossiere Pamela Jones Shane Becker Finance Director Controller Accountant (Member of Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada) The International Association of Character Cities was established to help cities implement character- building programs. Through the Character First program, character building in others is promoted by modeling good character before them. It is also promoted by developing character in your own life, your family, and those around your jurisdiction. The Ponca City Commission was approached by the Ponca City Leadership Class of 2000 to consider establishing Ponca City as a City of Character. A Character City is one in which the elected officials, community leaders, and citizens at large recognize the importance of good morals and are actively creating an atmosphere which encourages character development through the implementation of character programs in every sector of the community. This commitment was pursued through the public declaration of the City Commission by Resolution No 5095 approved on June 26, 2000, which clearly stated the goal of encouraging all citizens to develop good character. In October of 2000, the municipal government of Ponca City entered into the Character First program by delivering the character building curriculum to all City employees. Through this effort, the City has taken the lead to build good character in the community, which makes a person a better spouse, parent, employee, neighbor and citizen.
