— “I’m one of the residents that live on County Road 3530. I’ve contacted health department and state department, and Adult Protective Services. I was told I was the only one complaining, but apparently I’m not because none of those quotes were from me.”

“I’m calling to see if the city of Ada has any plans to repair Oak street. Each time I drive down it, I feel like I have to realign my car. Seems like with summer, it would be a prime time to fix the street while the kids are out of school.”

“Question: Suppose the robbers had shot the druggist first in Oklahoma City, would the cry for justice and murder be applied to them? Also, would the news drag out the incident as they are? Likewise, would the robbers be checked for why they had the guns?”

“This message is for Pontotoc County Commissioners who are responsible for upkeeping the Paradise Hills edition. It seems like you have neglected are area. We have fallen tree limbs in the road and overgrown trees scratching our cars and haven’t had gravel put on the road in three years. Every time they are graded, you dig deeper and shove gravel we don’t have to the side of the road. We would appreciate some attention in our edition as we do pay a very high tax rate.”

“We wonder why people don’t shop in Ada. It may have to do with customer service. I just spent a considerable amount of time trying to find someone to wait on me and then the cashier didn’t even bother to thank me for my purchase. We need to work on growing customer service in this town.”
