I hope you had a great experience at the National Conference, and that you are making safe returns to good ol' Oklahoma. We can hardly wait to hear and see the new ideas flying! Welcome home. ~ Speaking of new ideas, how about attending one of the free upcoming FREE trainings, sponsored by the Oklahoma Dept. of Environmental Quality (DEQ). The below as just shared with me, with an invitation to all our communities interested in attending. It will be an excellent opportunity to expand your knowledge on sustainability and redevelopment. Plus, you will earn Quality Assurance Points too! Hope you will consider attending in either Stillwater or Norman.

This will be an opportunity for communities to hear local leaders discuss sustainable redevelopment, and where to focus redevelopment projects to turn abandoned idle properties, including brownfields, into vibrant spaces such as housing, parks, trails and job-creating businesses. Attendance is free but registration is required as lunch will be provided.

Here’s my story on the evening: Sitting at my table with me were two young OPSU football players from our Football Family program, a high school Main Street Transformer, and my mom and her husband. When Steven was presented the Director of the Year Award my mind went back remembering Watonga Bob and his sweet sense of humor, his kindness, that grin that was so endearing, and his enthusiastic love of Watonga. I loved being around Watonga Bob, and there was Steven, who was the Mutt to Watonga Bob’s Jeff. They and their wives were the best of friends and it was a friendship that not everyone gets to have. And I sat there and cried. FUNNY PART: The football players thought I was crying because I had lost. Shees. No award and their recipient was so right, in my mind, as Steven accepting the Watonga Bob Award. Besides, Steven is a fantastic Main Street Director and has been for over 20 years … I mean, really? WAY TO GO EVERYONE …. Way to go to those who took home awards, and way to go to those who didn’t and were there to support all the communities and the work that the state staff does to put on such a great evening.

He found out he was having twins when he was here in Newkirk for a visit! That was pretty exciting. I was proud that the Newkirk Junior Main Streeters were recognized. We had five of the very early ones attend - including Michael who was the reason that it even came to be and Meghan who as a fifth grader came up with their slogan - "Living in the future to repair the past." Of the original four we had Michael and Crystal. Jed, of course, gave his life for his country in Iraq and to honor his memory, we have the Jed Cord students. One of the original four seems to have dropped off the face of the earth as we cannot find Sarah. At one time we had ordered them all Junior Main Street watches with their slogan on them and Tessa still had hers and wore it. It was an emotional evening for me as this was the first time in probably 15 years that I had seen these five awesome young adults. The program was great - thanks state staff, the food was delicious. Great job with the seating Miss Enid and all the rest of your hard work on this! Congrats to all the winners. I always let our volunteers know that making the top three is a win!

When Steven was presented the Director of the Year Award my mind went back remembering Watonga Bob and his sweet sense of humor, his kindness, that grin that was so endearing, and his enthusiastic love of Watonga. I loved being around Watonga Bob, and there was Steven, who was the Mutt to Watonga Bob's Jeff. They and their wives were the best of friends and it was a friendship that not everyone gets to have. And I sat there and cried. FUNNY PART: The football players thought I was crying because I had lost. Shees.

I¹ve been in full-blown event mode since returning the rental van Tuesday night, so forgive me for being late to the conversation. :) Steven winning the Watonga Bob Award was the highlight of the night! After years of making such a huge impact on Hobart ‹ especially the youth of his community through the Junior Main Street program ‹ the recognition was richly deserved (and probably overdue!) Congratulations, Steven! You are the embodiment of what makes Main Street so special. Big props to Kelly and the Enid team for a fantastic evening (Altus, you have big shoes to fill!) And huge thanks to State staff who put in countless hours over many months to make the whole awards process happen every year. Hope everyone catches up on sleep... see you in June!

Not too long ago, Linda Barnett wrote to you about the Oklahoma Main Street Foundation. I have copied her note below. Within her note is my address. Well, Jim had one of his senior moments when he gave Linda is address. My "real" address is 2807 Raintree Circle Norman, OK 73072 For the managers who know me, I'm sure you understand. I am really sorry for the mistake. Fortunately, Raintree Circle in Norman is only one block long and I have told the Post Office of my mistake. Please excuse me. Dear Board Members, Main Street Communities, Oklahoma Main Street Staff and Friends, As you probably know, Main Street, like every other entity in state government, is facing funding threats due to the dwindling state budget. For several years now, the Board of Directors of the Main Street Foundation has been looking at ways to supplement revenue and to assist this worthwhile movement in our state. Originally, we had hoped to form the foundation to create a tax-deductible base for donations so that we could return the funds to communities in the form of grants and assistance. We still hope to do that but we are also hoping to create more sustainability within the state program. For instance, if the state, in the future, can't fund our contract with the National Main Street Center, perhaps the OMSF Board of Directors could do so. This is just an example. Thanks, to former State Staffer, Jim Watters, we are on the road to achieving our 501(c)3 status. However, some base funding is needed. Larry paid $50 from his own pocket to start the foundation checking account and Jim contributed $100.00 to get the Employer Identification Number (EIN). Now we are facing an $850 filing fee. I am sending a check for $100.00 to Jim to begin the process. I am challenging each of you to do the same (or more, or less). Your donation is entirely tax deductible during this process. The Foundation address is: James G. Watters 2708 Raintree Circle. Norman, OK 73072 If you know of any entities also willing to contribute, any amount is appreciated. This is a grass roots effort for a worthwhile program that makes all of our lives better. Sent from my iPad -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Nothing would come out....I felt like a broken record....broken record...broken record... This was an incredible evening. So much fun with the Beatles running around...great music. Cool decorations. And, just one incredible category of nominations after another-and I was just seeing the top three. Please, please keep up all the great work out there.

I know how much it meant to Steven. I loved that big, warm, goofy guy, also! And I was so pleased that Ron Frantz received the Legacy Award! He found out he was having twins when he was here in Newkirk for a visit! That was pretty exciting. I was proud that the Newkirk Junior Main Streeters were recognized. We had five of the very early ones attend - including Michael who was the reason that it even came to be and Meghan who as a fifth grader came up with their slogan - "Living in the future to repair the past." Of the original four we had Michael and Crystal. Jed, of course, gave his life for his country in Iraq and to honor his memory, we have the Jed Cord students. One of the original four seems to have dropped off the face of the earth as we cannot find Sarah. At one time we had ordered them all Junior Main Street watches with their slogan on them and Tessa still had hers and wore it. It was an emotional evening for me as this was the first time in probably 15 years that I had seen these five awesome young adults. The program was great - thanks state staff, the food was delicious. Great job with the seating Miss Enid and all the rest of your hard work on this! Congrats to all the winners. I always let our volunteers know that making the top three is a win!

Internet Options for Low-Income Households in Oklahoma I thought #5 was interesting..... Great idea. 5. Library Hotspot Programs Libraries have long been a common source of internet access for low-income households across the nation. This has typically required patrons to make a trip to the library to use their computers or wireless connection. Recently, however, some libraries across the nation have begun programs that "loan out the internet" by allowing patrons to check out mobile hotspot devices. These devices use cellular networks (the same ones used by smartphones) to provide access to the internet. The devices can be used inside a home, taken to other locations such as a restaurant or community center or even taken with the patron on road trips. As long as the cellular network used by the hotspot (for example, Sprint or AT&T) has service in that area, it will provide broadband access. The hotspots can be used to hook up multiple devices to the internet, such as tablets, smartphones or laptops. Multiple users (up to 15) can log on to a single hotspot device. Libraries have different policies about who can check out these devices and how long the loan period is. However, most libraries with a program will allow adults with a valid library card to check out the device, and loan periods usually range between one week and one month. These programs are currently more popular in urban locations such as Tulsa; however ongoing research has suggested such programs are viable in rural communities (IMLS, 2016). Ask about the program in your local library. If it is unavailable, express an interest and direct the library personnel to information about similar programs (available in the reference section of this document). Summary As the Internet becomes an integral part of the lives of most citizens, those without access risk falling behind. There are several low- or no-cost options available for low-income households that would like to have their own broadband connection. The best choice will depend on the providers available in the area and household preference regarding the type of technology they would like to use.

We all make great partners. Hope to see all of you at the preservation conference here in Oklahoma City, June 7-9. Numerous tax credit project case studies are on the agenda as are presentations about the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation and tax credits on Thursday afternoon provided by Antonio Aguilar, Historical Architect, National Park Service (reviews Oklahoma rehab tax credit projects) and Jennifer Bailey, Tax Credits Coordinator, State Historic Preservation Office. You might also think about attending the Wednesday afternoon, June 7 session about the National Register of Historic Places and the impacts of the rehab credits in Oklahoma provided by Lynda Ozan, National Register Coordinator, State Historic Preservation Office and Amanda DeCort, Executive Director, Tulsa Foundation for Architecture, respectively. One of the lunch tours will take you to three certified rehabilitation projects. See you soon. Melvena Heisch Deputy SHPO State Historic Preservation Office Oklahoma Historical society 405/522-4484 mheisch at okhistory.org Three tenants filling refurbished historic building in Kendall Whittier District Building gets makeover and three new occupants Many looked at the two stories of unused space at 20 S. Lewis Ave. and saw only cobwebs. Not Jim Stephens. "We saw the potential to bring it back," he said. Back it is. Stephens, co-owner of Red Brick Capital Management with Teresa Knox, used a $2 million redevelopment to rejuvenate a 13,000-square-foot property in the Kendall Whittier District. The nonprofit Growing Together occupies the second floor, and HP Engineering and Orth Contemporary, an art gallery, are tenants on the ground floor. Stephens said the building most recently served as storage space for the former Swinney Hardware, which TPC Studios converted into its new home earlier this year. Directly north of the Red Brick Capital property is Circle Cinema. Since January 2013, a total of 31 new businesses have opened in the Kendall Whittier service area, representing 230 jobs and $17.5 million in private investment, said Ed Sharrer, executive director of Kendall Whittier Main Street, a nonprofit that supports revitalization of the area. "We're really excited to have that particular mix of tenants actually," Sharrer said. "The Growing Together Tulsa group is a nonprofit that is deeply, deeply embedded into the Kendall Whittier neighborhood. So to have that home here for the long term is real exciting for us. "HP Engineering is a rapidly growing firm. ... That many professional jobs coming to the square is a great thing. And Katie Orth with Orth Contemporary - obviously, being an art and cultural district, to have a beautiful art gallery as a part of the mix is just everything we could have asked for." Stephens knows that block of Kendall Whittier well. Managing broker of JPS Commercial Real Estate, Stephens oversaw the deal for TPC Studios' move into the Swinney Hardware building, and he has long known Clark Wiens, co-founder of Circle Cinema Foundation. Familiarity aside, however, he said he couldn't have completed the project without historic tax credits "The historic tax credits, without question, were the reason we were able to do it," said Stephens, emphasizing that those credits recently have been threatened by a bill in the Oklahoma House of Representatives. "It (development) is new. It's on the tax rolls. ... And we're bringing 35 to 40 people (employees) every day down here Monday through Friday. "It's just hugely important. It's filling a demand." Red Brick Capital Management purchased the building for $560,000 last May and proceeded to jump on infrastructure improvements in the structure, which had no electricity or plumbing, Stephens said. A year later, the place is at capacity. Orth Contempary held an exhibition last week. Growing Together still is unpacking and HP Engineering is set to begin a move-in later this week. "You don't have to look very far, frankly, to see what's going on and who's doing it and what they are doing," Stephens said. "To me, I feel fortunate that we were able to get the building and do this at this point in time. Three to four years from now, I see a whole lot of difference in just this intersection alone. "Even though we are bringing office components, I also wanted a gallery if we could find somebody to do it. Katie Orth filled that niche quite nicely." Lynda S.

FUNDING 1. Strategic Economic and Community Development The U.S. Department of Agriculture is excited to share a new Rural Development funding opportunity authorized by Section 6025 of the 2014 Farm Bill. This new authority entitled Strategic Economic and Community Development (SECD) prioritizes projects that support the implementation of multi-jurisdictional plans under the Community Facilities Program, Water and Waste Disposal Program, Business and Industry Loan Guarantee Program, and Rural Business Development Grant Program. Under this provision, up to 10 percent of each programs annual appropriations can be set aside and made available to eligible SECD applicants. Many communities already working together to develop multi-jurisdictional plans with the help of strategic partners including non-profit organizations, institutions of higher education, university extensions, regional authorities, coalitions of counties/towns and federal agencies. The goal of SECD is to promote collaboration in rural communities and across Rural Development agencies and programs. Communities are incentivized to align resources, develop long-term community and economic growth strategies and engage federal, state and local partners. By promoting this regional focus USDA resources can be more effectively utilized and have a larger impact on rural capacity building and wealth creation. 2.

Survival rates of manufacturing plants vary by county type and ownership structure Between the 2001 and 2007-09 recessions, U.S. manufacturing employment fell by close to 30 percent. In many communities, the closing of a manufacturing plant can reduce local employment, earnings, and government tax revenue. To improve understanding of the factors affecting the survival of manufacturing plants, ERS studied plant survival over a 15-year period (1996 to 2011). Over this period, the average survival rate-the share of plants that were still employers-in rural (nonmetro) counties was 57 percent. By comparison, plants in urban (metro) counties had an average survival rate of 53 percent during this period. Survival rates also varied by ownership structure: Overall, independent plants (single-unit plants with only one physical location) had a 59-percent survival rate, while multi-unit plants had a 50-percent survival rate. Independent plants located in rural counties had the highest average survival rate (62 percent). Although States and regions have long tended to put more effort into recruiting and retaining multi-unit plants, the research shows that independent plants are more likely to survive-in both rural and urban counties. 3. Households shopping at supermarkets, supercenters, and warehouse club stores have highest healthy basket scores Over the past two decades, some store formats-including supercenters, dollar stores, and warehouse club stores-have increased their share of Americans' spending on "at-home food"-food and beverages purchased from retail stores. Shifts between store formats could have implications for shopping patterns. A recent ERS study computed "healthy basket" scores for monthly at-home food and beverage purchases. The higher the score, the closer a household's purchases aligned with healthy-diet expenditure shares. Baskets were categorized by the format accounting for the household's largest share of food expenditures. Scores were highest for households predominantly shopping at warehouse club stores (8.3), supermarkets (8.2), and supercenters (8.0). Household food baskets dominated by purchases from drug stores, convenience stores, and dollar stores had the least healthful purchases. Over 2008-12, an average of 67 percent of households in the data predominantly shopped at supermarkets, 17 percent at supercenters, and 6 percent at warehouse club stores. The other 10 percent shopped predominately at drug, dollar, convenience, and other store formats. 4. Western irrigation has become more efficient over time Efficient irrigation systems can help maintain farm profitability in an era of increasingly limited and more costly water supplies. More efficient gravity irrigation uses the force of gravity and field borders or furrows to distribute water across a field. It may also use laser-leveling to improve flood irrigation. More efficient pressure-sprinkler irrigation delivers water under lower pressure sprinklers and systems using drip/trickle tubes and micro-spray nozzles. The efficiency of irrigation systems is particularly important in the Western States-such as Nebraska, California, and Texas-where water demand for agriculture is greatest and diminishing water supplies are expected to affect future water availability. Data from USDA's Farm and Ranch Irrigation Survey (FRIS) show that irrigated agriculture in the West has become more efficient over time. More efficient irrigation systems (both gravity and pressure-sprinkler) were used on about 36 percent of total irrigated acres in the West in 1994, but increased to nearly half by 2013. More efficient pressure-sprinkler irrigation alone accounted for about 15 percent in 1994, but more than 37 percent in 2013. The share of acres using more efficient gravity systems peaked in the late 1990s, but then declined as farmers increasingly turned to the even more efficient pressure-sprinkler systems. 5. Rural school districts less likely to serve local food frequently in school meals According to USDA's 2013 Farm to School Census, 35 percent of all U.S. school districts reported serving local food in school meals during the 2011-12 school year. Twenty-two percent of all school districts served at least one locally-sourced food item daily or more than weekly, and 19 percent of school districts-containing 30 percent of U.S. school children-served local food daily. ERS researchers analyzed data from the Farm to School Census to identify which types of school districts were more likely versus less likely to serve local foods frequently in school meals. Rural school districts were 11.2 percentage points less likely to serve local food daily than school districts in cities, after accounting for other school district characteristics, such as region, enrollment level, per capita income of the surrounding county's residents, and county-level density of farmers' markets. School districts in suburbs and towns were also significantly less likely to serve local food daily compared to districts in cities. 6. Poorest U.S. households spent 33 percent of their incomes on food in 2015 While households spend more money on food as their incomes rise, food expenditures represent a smaller portion of income as households allocate additional funds to other goods. In 2015, U.S. households in the highest income quintile spent an average of $12,350 on food-both from grocery stores and eating out. This spending accounted for 8.7 percent of their incomes. Middle income households spent an average of $5,799 on food, or 12.4 percent of their incomes. Households in the lowest income quintile spent less for food on average-$3,767 in 2015-but their food expenditures accounted for 33 percent of their incomes. Two years earlier, the lowest income quintile spent 36.2 percent of their incomes on food. The share of income spent on food depends on several factors, including food prices and incomes. While retail food price inflation was relatively low in 2013, income levels were also lower than in 2015, contributing to the higher percent of income spent on food in 2013 by the lowest income households. Food expenditures as a share of income could fall in 2016 and 2017 across income levels due to declining retail food prices in 2016 and a continued trend downwards in prices for some foods in 2017. 7. Personal income grows, state ranks largely unchanged According to the most recent U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis state personal income data, national per capita income grew 4.0 percent from 2015 to 2016, and growth since 2012 is at 12.0 percent. States are experiencing this growth disparately, however, with five-year growth rates ranging from -0.6 percent (North Dakota) to 17.6 percent (California). Over this period, few states experienced significant changes in their performance relative to their peers - just four states moved more than five rankings - but shifts between income quintiles and variable growth rates suggest that more movement will be witnessed over the next few years. 8. Majority of Native Americans Live in Rural Areas and Small Towns, Not in Urban Areas as Commonly Reported, According to New "Twice Invisible" Report First Nations Development Institute (First Nations) today published a report that clears up a longstanding "urban legend" that has had a negative impact on Native communities. The report - Twice Invisible: Understanding Rural Native America - challenges the commonly held belief that the majority of American Indians and Alaska Natives live in cities and urban areas. The Twice Invisible report looks closely at Census data and uses a definition of "rural" areas developed by the Housing Assistance Council that is calculated with a formula that takes into account population and housing density. Using this definition, First Nations' researchers found that 54% of American Indian and Alaska Native people, or a majority, live in rural and small-town areas on or near reservations, contrary to common myths. The report was authored by Dewees and Benjamin Marks, First Nations' Senior Research Officer, and was made possible by support from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation's Catalyzing Community Giving initiative. The full report can be downloaded from the Knowledge Center on the First Nations website here. 9. SNAP participation more closely linked to poverty than unemployment rate USDA's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is the Nation's largest food assistance program. In an average month in fiscal 2016, 44.2 million people-about 14 percent of the Nation's population-participated in the program. Unlike other food and nutrition assistance programs that target specific groups, SNAP is available to most needy households with limited income and assets, subject to certain work and immigration status requirements. As a means-tested program, the number of people eligible for SNAP is inherently linked to the health of the economy. The share of the population receiving SNAP benefits generally tracks the poverty rate and, to lesser degrees, the unemployment rate and the poverty rate for children under age 18. Improvement in economic conditions during the early stage of recovery may take longer to be felt by lower educated, lower wage workers who are more likely to receive SNAP benefits, resulting in a lagged response of SNAP participation to a reduction in the unemployment rate. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
