"Interview of a champion"

     My name is Antonio. I'm a sophomore in High school. I guess I'm going to tell you guys a little about me. I wrestle and play football for Ponca City. Coming to Ponca City has helped me get on track to accomplish my goals and I have also learned how to be responsible for myself.      My biggest goal is to be successful in life and get a scholarship to OSU for wrestling. If and when I do get a scholarship, I will red-shirt my freshman year at college. My life in Ponca revolves around the wrestlers (my


brothers) and the trainers (my sisters). I think Coach Walker is the best coach and friend a person can have. He's helped me out with problems outside of the wrestling room. He's one of the only father figures I've ever had in the sixteen years I've lived on this crazy thing called Earth. But he said that no matter where I go or what I do, he would still support me one hundred percent even if I don't wrestle. But I will succeed, I will accomplish my goals, and I will be a champion.

United State Census 2010...
Stand up and be COUNTED!
     Please take the time to fill out the US Census this year. Remind those you see that companies use Census data when considering what communities to bring their business to. Fill out the questionnaire and mail it back. This is the shortest Census form in history: 10 questions that should take about 10 minutes to answer. Accurate census data guides funding decision for your community and affects your representation in Congress, but not until every person in your county and state fills out the form and mails it back in. If you have not received a census form by April 1, please pick one up at your local city office, library or community gathering place.
