Drop by Friday and let us say ‘thank you!’

Staff

TAHLEQUAH — Our readers and advertisers are very important to us, and we believe we’re important to them.

We know we’re providing a valuable service by offering the most up-to-date, accurate and extensive news coverage you can get in Cherokee County. At the same time, our advertisers know they can use the Press as a launching pad when they cut ribbons, plan sales, introduce new products, bring in key people, or just want to remind customers they’re open for business and ready to serve.

Advertisers show their appreciation for us by allowing us to help promote their businesses. And readers show it by subscribing to our print or online edition, or picking up the day’s edition from a rack. And though we thank our customers as often as we have the opportunity to do so, occasionally we’d like to do a little something more.

The last Friday of the month is our Customer Appreciation Day. If you want to renew your subscription, pick up the day’s edition, pay on your bill, place a classified ad, or just come in and say “hi,” you’re most welcome to do so Aug. 31, after 9 a.m. We’ll have a doughnut and a cup of coffee waiting for you.

We know we’ve had some bumps in the road, particularly in getting our Sunday papers to subscribers on certain routes. We are so grateful to our loyal subscribers for sticking with us as we work out the kinks. And we’re much obliged to everyone else who has made our newspaper a part of this community, in one form or another, since the 19th century.

On Friday, drop by our office at 106 W. Second, and let us thank you in person!

  • Something for the kids to do this summer

    Now that school’s out for the summer, many Cherokee County parents struggle with the question of what to do with their children. It’s a dilemma most of us share at one time or another, unless we don’t work outside the home, or get our summers off, for the most part.

  • Tax cut? Don’t bet the farm

    Oklahoma taxpayers who think Gov. Mary Fallin did them a favor by signing into law the new tax cut measure ought to do a little math, and then think again. As usual, the state’s playing that ages-old game known as “robbing Peter to pay Paul.”

  • Should we help them, or not?

    The U.S. taxpayers may have gotten lucky. It appears congressional approval for a new infusion of disaster relief funds may not be needed for the May 20 tornado that devastated Moore, because some of the money left over from Hurricane Sandy is being put to good use in Oklahoma.

  • Treasures: Resale shops a boon for community

  • Facebook good for posting future events

    With more and more Daily Press readers using our Facebook page as a supplemental way to get information to the public, another explanation on how to streamline the process seems in order. Here, brevity is the key.

  • Give the teachers what they deserve

    When is the demonization of the teachers of this state going to stop? How many sacrifices do teachers have to make before the public realizes the anti-educator campaign is completely baseless, initiated by a small group of malcontents looking for someone to blame for society’s ills or the failures of their own offspring?

  • Welcoming our visitors to town

    In just a few days, visitors will be pouring into Cherokee County, as the Memorial Day weekend officially ushers in the local tourist season. For some of us, that means it’s time to batten down the hatches; for others, it’s time for the cash registers to start ringing.

  • Phone record debacle an insult to press

    Distrust of government secrecy has been elevated to an exceptional level with the disclosure the Justice Department covertly examined two months of Associated Press phone records to determine who leaked details to the AP about a foiled terrorist plot.

  • Punishing the animal dumpers

    Animal dumping is not a problem unique to Cherokee County, but anyone who’s been keeping up with current events for the past decade or so will acknowledge it’s especially prevalent here.

  • Openness on AG the right course

    It takes courage to admit to a serious mistake or a personal lapse, especially when the nature of the situation may call for a public mea culpa.

Poll

Where do you think bicycle trails are most needed in Cherokee County?

In the downtown corridor.
Not downtown, because it would be too congested, but on peripheral streets, like Bluff, Downing and College, and Muskogee but not downtown.
On the rural highways mainly in recreational areas, like Highways 10 and 82.
Only in special areas, like parks.
I do not think Cherokee County needs any (or more) bike trails.
