The winter weather is welcomed by one industry in this state.  Kenneth Beaty has been delivering propane to rural homes and businesses in Northeast Oklahoma for a quarter of a century and with the temperatures in the deep freeze he has been working up to 16 hours a day delivering to customers who are using more propane than normal.  Cathy Tatom goes on the winter road to show you the fuel needs in rural Oklahoma.

Tulsa Public Schools have added more training sessions to get volunteers trained to serve for free as substitute teachers in the classroom.  Tulsa School Superintendent Keith Ballard has eliminated paid substitue postions because of state budget cuts and he is hoping the community will pitch in to help.  Substitues don't have to have any teaching experience and they don't have to have a college degree.  The must however, pass a background check and complete three hours of training.

The town of Picher is no more.   But before it officially ceased to exist leaders there pooled the city's remaining funds and gave an endowment of more than a half a million dollars to Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College in Miami.  The money will be used by the school to preserve Picher's history and to give scholarships to young people who were some of picher's last residents.  Picher was once a thriving mining town but in recent times it has been known as one of the worst polluted land in the nation and was declared the Tar Creek Superfund Site by the Environmental Protection Agency.
