SUMMARY: This Saturday is dedicated to supporting small businesses, which often struggle to compete with larger retailers during the holiday season. In Oklahoma, nearly 351,000 small businesses make up 99% of all businesses and employ 50% of the workforce. Shopping local not only supports these businesses but also strengthens the community. The Oklahoma District of the Small Business Association recently highlighted the close-knit relationships between business owners and locals in Henrietta. As you shop for the holidays, remember to visit local shops for unique gifts and to contribute to the growth of your community.

SUMMARY: A blood stain on a shoe has led to the arrests of Carolyn Foreman and Dakota Davis in a 1997 Oklahoma cold case involving the murder of 81-year-old Girthy Carolina, known as “Granny” to the community. Witnesses reported that Foreman and Davis entered Carolina’s home, where Davis allegedly attacked her with an axe after using ammonia. The motive appears to be financial, as just nine days before her death, Carolina transferred a $40,000 certificate of deposit to a trust controlled by Foreman, who cashed it out shortly after. Both suspects now face murder and conspiracy charges.
