With the 2009 campaign
fully underway, Stillwater
Area United Way is more
thankful than ever for com-
panies and individuals who
annually show their passion
and support by "LIVING
UNITED."
"Many people in our area
are unaware of how much
our local leaders have
shaped how our United
Way campaign runs each
year," said Sheri Carter,
Stillwater Area United Way
Director.
Carter says the Day of
Caring is a perfect example.
Many don't know that the
idea for an annual campaign
kickoff with hundreds of
volunteers improving the
community was sparked
at the suggestion of Jerry
Moeller, Stiltwater Medi-
cal Center's Chief Execu-
tive Officer.
"Stillwater Medical
Center and so many of their
employees truly embrace
United Way year after
year," Carter said. "They
are a great example others
of how to LIVE UNITED,"
Carter said.
"The employees of Still-
water Medical Center not
only contribute to United
Way through donations, but
they also give man hours to
make the special events we
host possible," Moeller
said. "We have a silent auc-
tion, bake sale, sell pizza by
the slice and provide park-
ing for Homecoming, all of
which is made possible by
the employees."
In addition, Stillwater
Medical Center annually
sponsors the cost of the
materials for Day of Caring
projects. This year's mate-
rials totaled more than
$5,000. The Juke Joint Jog
hosted by Stan Clark Com-"
panies is another United
Way fundraising event
supported annually by Still-
water Medical Center. Each
year the hospital sponsors
the Juke Joint Jog's Family
Fun Zone, providing inflat-
ables and entertainment for
children.
"The needs are greater
than ever in our community,
and we need to help support
those who are hurting," said
Moeller. "With the current
recession, now is a great
time for companies to step
up and support United
Way."
,'Stillwater Area United
Way is very fortunate to
have the support of Still-
water Medical Center and
other local companies, who
not only donate financial
support, but also provide
volunteers who give their
time, talents and services
for our community," Carter
said.

A Perkins man who is on
probation for possession of a
drug and drug paraphernalia
in Creek County has been
charged with possession of
heroin and drug parapherna-
lia in Payne County.
Johnny William Odle Jr.,
34, who was jailed for a week
in Payne County on $10,000
bond, was released two weeks
ago when his bail was reduced
to a personal recognizance
bond, court records show.
Odle was ordered to return
to Payne County District
Court on Nov. 9 when he can
ask for a preliminary hear-
ing on his heroin possession
felony charge, which carries
as much as a 10-year prison
term and $10,000 fine on
conviction.
If convicted of a misde-
meanor count of possession
of a syringe and spoon as
drug paraphernalia in Payne
County, Odle could receive
an additional one-year incar-
ceration and $1,000 fine, court
records show.
Odle was arrested in the
2100 block ofE. 6th Avenue
in Stillwater about 9 p.m. Sept.
30 on an outstanding Creek
County bench warrant for his
failure to appear in court in
June for probation violations
in a 2007 drug case, court
records show.
Stillwater Police Officer
Andrew Wilson wrote in
an affidavit "Subsequent
to the arrest, I discovered
a black sock in Odle's left
front pocket that contained
a syringe, a spoon without
the handle and a cellophane
wrapper from a cigarette
package.
"I saw several small white
flakes and a larger brown
flake in the plastic. Odle
claimed he had been shoot-
ing up Oxycontin, but the
flakes returned a positive
result for heroin," in a field
test kit, W'dson alleged in his
affidavit.
Odle has also been ordered
to appear in the Bristow divi-
sion of Creek County District
Court on Oct. 30 regarding his
probation violations in his
2007 drug case there, court
records show.
