Bartlesville ends Enid's season

November 6, 2010

The Enid News and Eagle Sat Nov 06, 2010, 12:58 ABARTLESVILLE — — A football season, so full of promise, ended in bitter disappointment for the Enid Plainsmen (6-4, 4-3) Friday night as the Bartlesville Bruins (7-3, 5-2) thumped them 28-9, knocking Enid completely out of the playoff picture.

The Plainsmen’s loss, combined with wins by Bixby over Sand Springs (48-35) and Owasso over Ponca City (38-7), put the finishing touches on Enid’s spiraling playoff aspirations. An Enid win would have secured the No. 2 seed in District 6A-4 and a home playoff game against Norman.

Local restaurant shuts its doors after half-century in Enid

Pak-A-Sak, an Enid restaurant staple that has been on the corner of Maine and Fifth since 1954, has shut its doors. Pak-A-Sak owner Terry Washburn said he made the decision to close the business Friday after he received a letter from St. St. Mary’s owns the Pak-A-Sak property. Talks progressed from there, and although there is no formal agreement between the two entities, it’s looking like the longtime Enid restaurant may move west, potentially moving to the mall near Jan. 1.

ENID — As local artist H. Holden continues to recover from lung transplant surgery, a fundraiser is set for Oct. 16 to help with medical expenses. Holden recently the lung transplant in July after being diagnosed with ideopathic pulmonary fibrosis several years ago. “He’s doing remarkably well,” said his wife, Edna Mae Holden.
The fundraiser will begin with an art show, sale and silent auction at 6:30 p.m. at Emmanuel Baptist Church. Following the art show will be a concert at 7:30 p.m. featuring musicians Rich O’Brien and R.W. Hampton. There will be a meet-and-greet reception following the concert.
Tickets to the event are $20 in advance and $25 at the door. All proceeds will go toward H. Holden’s medical expenses. Holden was born in Enid and has lived in the area his whole life. “He’s a third-generation resident of the area,” Edna Mae said.
Holden’s lung transplant was performed in Oklahoma City, and he and Edna Mae had to live in Oklahoma City for more than a month following the operation. Now, the Holdens are back at their home in Kremlin and although he has to take about 45 pills each day, Holden is recovering well. “We’ve had a lot of support from our friends and our church and our family,” Edna Mae said. “We’re going to have some challenges down the road.” The main challenge is to keep Holden’s body from rejecting the donor lung, she said.
Although Holden lost about 50 pounds following his operation, he has regained strength and is beginning to work on his art again. “He’s working on a couple of monuments now,” Edna Mae said. She said he also is excited about a show he has coming up in Oklahoma City.

Tickets to the fundraiser can be purchased at Way Out West, Soapweeds and Cactus, Emmanuel Baptist Church and Simpson’s Old Time Museum. Tickets also may be purchased by calling R.W. Hampton at (800) 392-0822. Donations may be mailed to: H. Holden Medical Account, NBC Oklahoma, 3202 W. Garriott, Enid, OK 73703. For information, call 233-2379 between 9:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
