Anyone living in Enid knows aboutthe many exciting things takingplace, but how do others find outabout the great things happeninghere? This question plagued theCity of Enid in how to get the wor dout about their fine city, and theanswer came in creating the City ofEnid’s first Convention and VisitorsBureau (CVB) this past fall.Convention and Visitors Bureaus arefound in many mid-to large-sizedcities and are integral in placingcities on tourism maps.

Director of the Enid CVB Mar cyJarrett has thir teen years experi-ence working in promoting cities,and she is hard at work gatheringall of the information needed tohelp Enid grow the amount of dol-lars that comes into the commu-nity from outsiders. Since Enidhas never had a CVB prior to now ,the initial stages include a travelresearch study, which helps deter-mine what it is that brings peopleto Enid. “We are gathering theinformation, so we can see whatpeople like, what they want mor eof and how much they spend.From there, we have a strategicapproach to improve those seg-ments,” explains Jarrett.

One area in which Enid alr eadyhas a head star t is group tours.With places such as the GaslightTheatre, the Cherokee StripRegional Heritage Center andLeonardo’s Discovery Warehouse,there is already a high demandfor group tours, and the Enid CVBcan now help organize and con-duct these tours. “We can usethe base that is alr eady estab-lished and expand upon it,”Jarrett says.

Group tours are not the onlything in the mix right now as,thanks to the Cherokee StripConference Center, the CVB canhost gatherings and events, fr omreunions to conferences. In order to get the word out aboutthe services the CVB provides,Enid will be promoted in adsappearing in Oklahoma Today,touting Enid as a travel destina-

tion. Jarrett adds, “The travelindustry is about bringing peopleinto town and getting them to thecash register. Our goal is toincrease the economic impact ofthe people that come into town.”

Not only will the ads speak tothose looking for travel destina-tions, but also the adver tise-ments will get the attention ofbusiness owners who might belooking to establish a new loca-tion.

The Enid Convention andVisitors Bureau is located in theCherokee Strip ConferenceCenter, in the old Kress building.Located on Maine Street, it is theperfect place for people to comeinto the hear t of downtown Enid.Here, people can visit the EnidWelcome Center, obtainbrochures, dining guides, statetravel guides and learn about thelocal area. This center isn’t justfor visitors either, as Jarrett andher team welcome Enid r esidentsto learn more about their city andwhat it has to of fer in terms ofentertainment and attractions.

“We want to create that buzzabout Enid and ever ything that ishappening here,” concludesJarrett. And with more tourismand travel to Enid, that buzz isonly going to grow louder.

In an ef fort to bolster all avenues of ecotourism forEnid, the City of Enid not only cr eated the Conventionand Visitors Bureau but also par tnered with GlobalSpectrum in operating and promoting the CherokeeStrip Conference Center. In addition to the City ,Global Spectrum works closely with the Enid CVB topromote and sell the facility for social events,fundraisers, meetings and more.

Debbie Campbell, General Manager for GlobalSpectrum, has been in the business for seven yearsand has a wide background all relating to customerservice, and it’s all about customer ser vice when itcomes to marketing the Cherokee Strip ConferenceCenter. “We work hard here at Global Spectrum,because it’s our personal commitment to the city ,building and staf f. The more people we bring here,the more successful we are, and that impacts Enid,”attests Campbell.

Campbell’s point of view is that the mor e eventsthat are booked with the conference center, the moremoney that is being spent in Enid. Just like the EnidCVB’s focus on ecotourism, many of the events host -ed by Global Spectrum will bring in tourists and dollarsto the Enid economy. She continues, “We want peo-ple from the outside to see how gr eat it is [in Enid].We are constantly working on relationships to bringEnid into the forefront.”

There are many plans cur rently in the mix for theconference center, including discussions about a tech -nology summit for 2013, as Campbell believes in plan-ning events far in advance to give clients their fullattention. With a reputation of taking care of clientsand the facility, Global Spectrum is known for makingit easy to do business with them, which is exactlywhat is needed to keep bookings and plan for futur eyears.

Upcoming events include hosting the OklahomaHistorical Society in April, a r eligious conference inJune and the returning EMT conference in July. All ofthese events equate to hotel bookings, mor e peopleeating in local restaurants and other oppor tunities forlocal businesses. In addition to these bookings,Global Spectrum is also launching the star t of theirown events with their Breakfast with the Easter Bunnyon April 9th. Since the Cher okee Strip Conference

Center is already booked, Global Spectrum par tneredwith Leonardo’s to host the event and the ChildAdvocacy Council is the non-profit beneficiar y.

Whether hosting others or throwing their ownevents, Global Spectrum’s mission is to get Enid onthe map as a place to make plans. “W e representthe best face of Enid, and by taking car e of our cus-tomers and encouraging them to talk to other people,we are just one piece of Enid’s continued success.It’s really rewarding,” asser ts Campbell.

The Forgotten Church is on a mis-sion to help the invisible ones lost inthe nooks and crannies of a townwhere drugs, pover ty, homelessness,and despair are more likely to be leftin the shadows than to be paradeddown main street. It’s a change forfounders Jeremiah and Sarah Her rianwho honed their ministr y style in per-haps one of the most desperateplaces in the United States: SkidRow in Los Angeles.

“The pover ty and the drugs andthe hopelessness that we were see-ing so blatantly on the str eets ofSkid Row were happening in smalltown Oklahoma, however you wouldnever really know it was happeningunless you looked for it,” Sarah said.

Jeremiah grew up in Hennesseyand discovering the depth of need inand around his hometown was dis-concerting when he and Sarah star t-ed The Forgotten Church 18 monthsago. But, from a woman breaking icein a toilet while her childr en huddledunder blankets, to another womanwith hundreds of cockroaches livingin her kitchen, to people sleeping incars, to people struggling with allmanner of addictions – and notalways in the “bad” par t of town –Jeremiah found all the same pr ob-lems that plagued the people of LosAngeles hidden behind doors inOklahoma.

“I feel like sometimes it’seasier for us to ignore the

possibility that these thingsexist in our neighbors’

homes and across town thanto come to the reality thatthey do exist and then do

something about it,”Jeremiah said.

“It’s kind of a selfish mentality thatwe’re raised in these days. It’s theAmerican Dream to get bigger andbetter and to just look inwar dly. AndI’m as guilty as the next guy .”

Describing the ministr y as an armof the local church, the Herrianspartner with more than two dozen

local churches and hundreds of vol-unteers who donate time, money,and goods to such practical endeav-ors as clothes closets, weekly din-ners, and mini home makeovers.Ministry also stretches into disciple-ship and mentorship spiritually inaddition to such mundane mattersas managing money.

“Our main focus is spending timewith people, being consistent and liv-ing life with these people.” Sarahsaid. “There’s nothing worse thangiving them tools and not teachingthem how to use them.”

Seeing the ministr y grow aschurches work together and learnhow to reach people outside thewalls of the church has been excit-ing, Jeremiah said.

“Most people do drugs becausethey have no hope, no understandingof what it does and don’t have any -thing better,” Jeremiah said. “Our jobas Christians is to go out ther e andto love them and to car e for themand to help them and to shar e withthem something that might be a bet-ter way of life.”

“Jesus is really moving,” Jeremiahcontinued. “I believe Enid is going to

be a catalyst for many towns acr ossthe United States.”

The Forgotten Church meets week-ly at Don Haskins Basketball Cour tsat 7pm on Tuesdays to feed hun-dreds of the hungr y. Beginning inApril, they will also be meeting onThursdays at the Brookside apar t-ments. Volunteers are welcome. Formore information on donating or vol -unteering, please visit www.forgot-tenchurch.com.

As three new commissionersassume office in May, along with anew Mayor, we take a moment tocommend and applaud the ef fortsand accomplishments of our outgo-ing commissioners and mayor.Public service is a noble endeavorand often includes triumphs, chal-lenges and public scrutiny. The Cityof Enid thanks Mayor John Criner,Commissioner Don Rose,Commissioner Larry Brummal andCommissioner James Crabbs forlending their time, their talents andin some cases, their r eputations tothe democratic process; a processthat is still uniquely American.Ultimately, we as citizens, benefitfrom their decision to ser ve aselected officials for the people ofEnid.

In the past eight years, citizenshave prospered and enjoyed life inEnid largely due to a mayor andcommission and dedicated Citystaff that did not waiver in theircommitment to Enid.

One ongoing initiative in Enidwas beautification and cleanliness,and no one fought harder for code

enforcement than Mayor JohnCriner. When a couple from Mt.Vernon turned down a prominentjob in Enid due to the city’s appear-ance, Mayor Criner felt it was hisduty to help suppor t the cleanupeffort throughout the city he lovesso dearly.

“I asked to ride along with theCode Officials, so I could seeexactly what we were fighting. Notonly does a messy yard af fect a cit-izen’s property, but it af fects theproperty value of the neighbors.”Mayor Criner admits that the num-bers were daunting but that’s

INFRASTRUCTURE• With over 400 miles of str eets inEnid, battling the wear and tear ofthe streets is a constant and ongoingendeavor for the City staf f. But, with-in the last eight years, the City hasspent over $32 million dollars onlocal and ar terial streets.• Along with street improvement,storm water drainage has also beenchallenged and tackled by the com-mission. As ditches and stor m sew-ers erode, the flow of water is inter -rupted and can cause erosion of theproperty around a ditch and slowdown the flow. With the help of Parksand Storm Water Supervisor MelvinKey, storm water drainage has beenimproved but continues to r emain aconstant endeavor. • To improve and sustain the beautyof Enid, a recycling drop-off centerwas established.• To meet the growing city’s needs,the commission approved to expandthe landfill by 100%, enabling a for ty-year capability.• An additional accomplishment is

the ability to maintain the integrity ofthe streets for the long ter m. Thishas been greatly assisted by movingwaterlines out from under the pave-ment, and by replacing old roadwaypipes with longer life systems befor erepaving. The results are smooth,safe, major roads throughout thecity. An accomplishment that wouldnot be possible without a dedicatedCity of Enid engineering depar tmentand funding by the city commission.• With the installation of a com-pletely automated water meter r ead-ing system, citizens can now see up-to-date water usage reports. Theservice allows citizens to be instant-ly notified of leaks, while also ensur-ing a more ef ficient utility depar t-ment to better ser ve citizens. • Crosslin Lake sur face area wastripled to provide enhanced floodcontrol and expanded recreationalopportunities.• Crosslin Dog Park was completed.• The Hoover Park Splash Pad hasproven to be a welcome addition.

SOLID WASTE SERVICE• City Commissioners also looked toreduce the number of seriousinjuries on the job within the SolidWaste Depar tment. The plight of asolid waste worker is not an easyone and often involves braving theelements while also jumping up anddown from the solid waste tr uck.Many times, an ankle can tur n orfooting is lost while riding on theback of the truck. But with the fore-sight of the commission, manualtrash service was eliminated andautomated trash ser vice was imple-mented. This ser vice not onlyreduced the number of serious on-the-job injuries by 90% but also pr o-vided a cost savings to taxpayerswith more ef ficient service. • Enid’s last wastewater tr eatmentplant was built in 1954, and in or derto protect water supply and provideclean water, a new water r eclama-tion facility project commenced. Thenew waste water reclamation facilitywill handle a projected flow of 12million gallons per day. Originally,the project was estimated to cost$47 million dollars, but due to theeconomy and economically savvycommission, this project is set to becompleted significantly under budget

and ahead of schedule. • There has been completion of along-term water supply managementplan. Citizens in Enid have beenable to enjoy life due to the contin-ued supply of water, and this long-range plan will assure that City staf fhas the knowledge to continue toprovide this quality of life and seegrowth for our children and grand-children. The study does state thatwe are currently responsibly manag-ing our water supply and also ar e onthe path to a sustainable water sys-tem. •The City Commission also plannedahead for Enid’s future by creating a$6 million rainy day fund fr om theCity of Enid’s general fund. It shouldalso be noted that the City of Enidhas maintained a balanced budgetfor the last four years, so the cityhas never accessed the money fr omthe rainy day fund nor utilized layof fs

during the recession. • The commission approved the hir-ing of a retail consultant for Enid inorder to establish Enid as a mar-ketable and profitable city toinvestors. With the help of RickeyHayes of Retail Attractions, a lead-ing advocate for municipal develop-ment, Enid is poised and r eady tomeet the needs of our gr owing mar-ketplace.• The commission created and sup-ported the newly re-formedConvention Visitors Bureau to mar-

In earlyFebruary,votes werecast and THE RESULTSARE IN:

MAYOR-ELECT: BILL SHEWEY

Background:He has called Enid home for thir ty-three years

and has worked at Central National Bank for allthat time. In fact, in the course of his life, MayorShewey has only worked at two jobs: the FirstNational Bank in Tulsa and Central National Bank.How is that for longevity?

Reasons for running:Mayor Shewey knows that Enid is on a success-

ful path with a str ong economy, strong school sys-tem and all of the amenities located her e. Hisreason for running is simple: “We have a lot ofgreat things going for us, and we need to keep itmoving forward.” His hopes are to continue thestrong relationship with Vance AFB, continue toattract more businesses while retaining currentones and keeping ever yone aware of all of thepluses that are home to Enid.

What makes Enid great:As a hub in Oklahoma, many people pass

through Enid, and Enid is an example of a gr eatplace that continues to move for ward.

Enid now welcomesthree new commissioners and a new mayor to keep our city moving in a positive direction! For a quick meet and greet, here are theirbackgrounds, their

reasons for running and why they believe in all that is Enid.

WARD ONE COMMISSIONER-ELECT: RON JANZEN

Background:After working for thir ty-nine years in the social

security administration as a district manager,Commissioner Janzen is an Enid native and gradu -ate of both Enid High and Phillips University .Having served as a commissioner before, heknows how to become involved to make changesfor the better.

Reasons for running: Instead of finding things to complain about,

Commissioner Janzen decided that since he want -ed to see some changes, he was going to dosomething about. Hence, here he is to ser ve ascommissioner again, hoping to make thosechanges that will benefit Enid as a whole.

What makes Enid great:For Commissioner Janzen, Enid is a char ming

city with a generous spirit and friendly people will-ing to help their community thrive.

Page 14: Enid On The Move (Spring 2011)

WARD TWO COMMISSIONER-ELECTMIKE STUBER

Background: In 1997, Commissioner Stuber brought his

business to Enid and has enjoyed living her esince. Currently, he works for Pioneer Securitydesigning and selling security, camera, access control and commercial fire systems for a lar geportion of Oklahoma.

Reasons for running:After going through Leadership Greater Enid in

2008, Commissioner Stuber believed that he couldmake a positive impact for the city , and since Enidhas given him so much, he believes in giving itright back. As an active member of the community, often having to choose which activitiesto do with the limited hours in the day ,Commissioner Stuber knows that it only takes getting the word out for others to r ecognize justhow much Enid has to of fer.

What makes Enid great:In Commissioner Stuber’s words: “Enid has

everything that you need and most of the thingsthat you want.” Balancing big city attributes withthe small town feel, Enid is best r epresented by itssupport for local businesses, which only enticesoutside businesses to come to Enid.

WARD FIVE COMMISSIONER - ELECTTAMMY WILSON

Background:Similarly to Commissioner Janzen,

Commissioner Wilson is also an Enid native, graduate of Enid High and studied at PhillipsUniversity. Though she moved away to attendNWOSU, she and her husband moved back to Enidin 1996, and she has worked in the legal field forthe past thir teen years.

Reasons for running:Having organized and coordinated several

events for the community, Commissioner Wilsonhas always been interested in government.Running for commissioner just seemed to be thenatural step for her, as she wants to make a positive dif ference in the community.

What makes Enid great:Maintaining its friendliness and small town feel

is just one of the r easons that CommissionerWilson enjoys Enid. Business can find successhere with the location and incentives of fered bythe city, and overall, she best sums up her feelings for Enid by saying, “Enid is home.”
