I ask you to consider all of the amazing Collinsville improvements which were made possible (at least in part) by the county Vision sales tax that was approved in 2003. City Hall rebuilt, Police Station and Fire Station built, major park improvements, Main Street streetscapes and S-Curve overhaul, American Legion building re-roofed and remodeled, and several other projects. That county tax is expiring and now individual cities are asking to renew their portion (at the same rate). There are many more captial improvements to be made as Collinsville continues to grow and prosper. Vote Tuesday April 5th for Collinsville's future. -- Ted Wright 4/2/2106 -- Sample Ballot | |

Just received news from Carol Henshall- Mitchell that
her father Ray "Blackie" Henshall passed away this
afternoon. Blackie was a long time resident and icon in the Collinsville
community. He served as our assistant girls basketball and softball
coach to Hall of Fame Coach Howard Ray for many years. A former
Collinsville Public Schools board member, Mr. Henshall was instrumental
is the hiring of Coach Ray in the mid 60`s. Coach Henshall fought
a courageous battle after suffering from a massive heart attack,
internal bleeding and pneumonia. His presence at athletic events
and supportive friendship will be missed by many Cardinals. RIP
Coach Henshall. -- Terry Due -- Friday 3/4/2016

auction typically fall on the same night with the election ...
so things are busy. Will take a few days to sort it all out. Baseball
boys trailed 0-2 (to Glenpool) when I left after 3 innings. JV
soccer boys lost 0-1. Varsity soccer girls won 4-1. Varsity boys
start shortly. I may not have time to check the polling results.
