Media Awards
The resulting television segments titled "Wings of Gold" was not only a beautiful piece but was of truly great interest here at home since eastern Oklahoma is a part of the butterfly's habitat. Habitat loss threatens to destroy the beautiful monarch and the segment showed the perilous journey. Most television reporters would have stopped there and that would have been a super job, but Scott took the project even one step further. He published a butterfly guide which included suggestions of butterfly-friendly plants and where and how to plant them in the home landscape. It included a contact and resources guide as well. Within four days of making the offer on the air, more than 3800 guides had been mailed. That's viewership, that's environmental education and THAT SPELLS GREAT NEWS FOR OKLAHOMA'S ENVIRONMENT! Print MediaTHE ADA EVENING NEWSThe city of Ada planned what eventually became an extremely successful CLEAN UP ADA campaigna year long project that involved all aspects of the community. And, according to city manager David Hathcoat - - the outcome would not have been the same without the unfaltering support of THE ADA EVENING NEWS. "Without the assistance of the local newspaper with articles, editorials, photos, etc, we would not have been quite so successful in getting our message out to the public nor in our very necessary efforts to pay tribute to our many volunteers, sponsors and other helpers. Our community effort would simply not have been as effective as it was in cleaning up our city, inspiring people to get involved or in expressing its collective gratitude without the considerable 'ink' given our project by the paper. Our hats are off especially to Steve Boggs, managing editor and to all the reporters who covered 'Clean up Ada' activities."--David Hathcoat OUR HATS ARE OFF, TOO TO THE ADA EVENING NEWSGOOD NEWS!
