This created headwinds for activity levels but the One Weatherford team continued to focus on the controllable elements of the business

even at a significantly reduced level of customer activity
we remain confident in increasing our adjusted free cash flow conversion for the full year 2025

(KOKH) — Some Weatherford residents say they feel blindsided by city leaders after crews tore down a decades-old gazebo
The downtown structure hosted many local events
and it's home to historical bricks that honor community members
Mayor Mike Brown tells Fox 25 the bricks and time capsule aren’t going anywhere
says he had no idea the gazebo was going to be torn down
I saw the caution tape that was around the gazebo
He says city leaders took down more than just a gazebo
A lot of people back in the mid-90s bought into the Centennial Park
Robby has a personal connection to the McPhetridge Centennial Park at Broadway and Main
Why was that decision made without being brought up or discussed in any of the commission meetings?"
"It was in the paper a month ago," Mayor Brown said
I had a stack of papers from the past month
Whether or not people realized that the gazebo was coming down
It’s had yellow tape around it for the last month
so if somebody was wondering they probably should’ve asked a question then
One of our city commissioners walked up and down Main Street
and asked business owners what their thoughts were prior to us picking this spot
a Route 66 astronaut statue will take the gazebo’s place
He says the city received a $1 million grant from the Oklahoma Department of Commerce’s Route 66 committee to fund signage
"I thought it’d be an opportunity to generate more people in this area
and hopefully they spend a little money while they’re down here
We had a gazebo that was maybe around 25-30 years old
It's still McPhetridge Centennial Park
We thought it was good opportunity to not only talk about the centennial for the city
but also the centennial of Route 66."
Robby says he understands Weatherford needs to grow
but he also wishes this was done differently
"Why take away from that park and what it meant when there's empty lots right there on Main Street that are for sale
but we've also got to think about the past.”
Mayor Brown says he apologizes to people who are sentimental about the gazebo
He says the new statue should be up before 2026
which is just in time for the 100th anniversary of Route 66
IOWA CITY — Class of 2025 high school prospect Tate Sage has flipped his from Drake to Iowa basketball and is committed to the Hawkeyes
Sage, who made the decision before ever having been to Iowa City
had enough trust in Iowa head coach Ben McCollum and company to follow their move with a level of blind faith
that doesn’t seem to worry me at all," Sage told the Register
"I just want to go play for coach McCollum and play with them
After losing in the state championship game two seasons in a row
Sage helped Weatherford High School win a 4A state title as a senior
“I would say it was a different level of hunger," Sage said of the determination to finally break through in the state title
"There was this humongous itch that we felt like we needed to scratch and it was always on my mind
because I’d go out in public and people would say comments about it
We just knew we had to get to the final and we couldn’t lose it again.”
More: Class 4A boys basketball: Weatherford defeats Crossings Christian to win first state title
really," Sage said of why he wanted to go to Drake
"I really wanted to play for coach McCollum and coach Bryston (Williams)
(McCollum's) history and just seeing how much he wins games just makes me want to go play for him
After a 31-4 overall season that garnered attention on the national stage
McCollum left Drake for the head coaching job at Iowa
That move opened the door for Sage to join McCollum in the Big Ten
an opportunity that he jumped at when it was presented
Sage said of his skillset: “I would say I’m versatile
which used to be my one strength but I feel like I’ve expanded my game to different levels
I would like to say I’m a three-level scorer
And recently one thing I’ve wanted to focus on is my defense
So I would consider myself a three-level scorer and a good defender.”
Here are some highlights from Sage in 2023:
Iowa is relying heavily on the transfer portal to rebuild its roster ahead of McCollum's first season
But it has also dipped into the high school ranks
Sage becomes the second high school prospect to commit to Iowa's 2025 recruiting class since the hiring of McCollum
West Des Moines Valley star Trevin Jirak flipped from Northern Iowa to the Hawkeyes
Basketball helped Valley to three consecutive state titles from 2023 to 2025
Though Sage hasn't played for McCollum yet
he continues a recent movement of those associated with Drake to join the Hawkeyes
Five former Bulldog players have transferred to Iowa
the reigning Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year
Multiple staff members have followed McCollum from Drake to Iowa
Sage continues the trend of loyalty to McCollum as part of the 2025 high school recruiting class
Beyond the five Drake transfers and two incoming freshmen
Iowa landed commitments from Brendan Hausen (Kansas State) and Álvaro Folgueiras (Robert Morris)
Hausen is a career 39.1% 3-point shooter and Folgueiras is the reigning Horizon League Player of the Year
McCollum was also able to retain legacy Hawkeye Cooper Koch
who has four seasons of college eligibility remaining after having a medical hardship waiver approved
The addition of Sage puts Iowa's projected scholarship count for the 2025-26 roster at 10

A revered old-school drive-in malt shop that's been open since the 1950s has been saved: The Malt Shop
was rescued from the brink of closure by a new ownership team
who are giving it the lifeline it deserves
"Who would not want to save that place," Hart says
"It was a competition who got to it fastest
We wanted to keep it here in the county and keep it open."
The menu will largely keep the same food and drinks customers have come to know and love
Hart notes that they will modernize the burgers a bit and add a few menu items that fit with current trends
started it as a gift to their wives before heading to war
It has since been passed down through generations and is one of the last few remaining old-school drive-ins in the U.S
Hart and Allen have been working to update the space
housed in its signature pale pink building: paint
and added parking in an effort to “bring this place back to life." They'll have continuity
since Harrison will remain at the shop in the role of general manager
evening and Sunday hours are also making a comeback
"We're securing a family area underneath the awning for families with small kids so they're protected and don't run onto the parking lot and a picnic area where you might be able to come on a late summer night for a movie or a sock hop," Hart says
"If we don't invest into this generation now and teach them
this legacy will be gone when we're gone."
There’s a new Nashville chicken restaurant now open in Mansfield: Called 2 Neighbors Southern Chicken
it opened in March in the Broad Street Shopping Center at 2751 E
where it's serving an authentic version from a family with first-hand knowledge
Owner Carlonda Marshall is a native of Nashville who's getting some backup from her mother
"We grew up on Nashville fried chicken
that would be our Friday night meal," Marshall says
Mansfield is a second location: Marshall opened the first 2 Neighbors in 2017 in Cedar Hill, before relocating to the Grow DeSoto Market Place in 2020, where it’s still open today. (They also briefly opened a burgers and shakes concept next door in the marketplace
The new Mansfield location has fast-casual service
Fans can buy hats and T-shirts with the restaurant's design
The menu at Mansfield is similar to DeSoto location but with a bigger focus on Southern fried chicken
Customers can get plain fried chicken or the spicier Nashville-style
Prices range from $8.50 for nuggets to $14 for catfish & fries
The only thing they're not doing at Mansfield is sandwiches
a twist on the classic Kentucky butter cake
a moist pound cake with a butter and sugar syrup and a vanilla glazed crust
The center where they're located has a healthy mix of shops and restaurants. They took over a space that was previously occupied by another chicken place called Chick'n Cone
now closed; but Marshall is upbeat about the area
"Just looking in the Mansfield area and seeing all the growth there
we decided it’s kind of booming over there,” she says
"We're so busy in Mansfield right now
we're getting a lot of walk-in traffic."

the decomposed remains of a woman were found in wooded area behind a truck stop near I-20 in Weatherford
Investigators believe she died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound
white or beige panties and a blue and white windsuit
She also had a large blue shoulder bag with expensive prescription beige glasses
a long brown wig and a bottle of mineral water
Investigators determined she was between 35 and 55 year-old and had $30,000-$35,000 worth of extensive dental work including gold foil fillings with porcelain veneers
her identity could not be determined and she became known as Weatherford Jane Doe
Details of the woman’s case were entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) as UP3572
retired Deputy Chief Greg Lance encouraged Lieutenant Johnny Qualls and the Cold Case Unit to reexamine the case with modern forensic DNA technology
Crowder at the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office
the team decided to explore forensic genetic genealogy
a method that has helped identify unknown individuals in numerous cold cases
the Weatherford Police Department and the Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office sent forensic evidence to Othram's laboratory in The Woodlands
Texas in hopes that advanced DNA testing could help identify the woman
Othram scientists produced a suitable DNA extract from the remains
A comprehensive DNA profile was then developed for the woman using Forensic-Grade Genome Sequencing®
Othram's forensic genetic genealogy team then conducted a genealogical search that resulted in new leads
The follow-up investigation led investigators to potential relatives of the woman
A reference DNA sample from a possible relative was compared to the DNA profile of the unknown woman leading to the positive identification of the woman
who is now known to be Nellie Faye Gillespie
She had called her son informing him she was planning on going to Arizona but was never heard from again
The identification of Nellie Gillespie is the 18th case in Texas where officials have publicly identified an individual using technology developed by Othram. Visit DNASolves to learn about other Texas cases

Fort Worth's favorite entertainment heavyweight Taylor Sheridan is throwing a country music concert at his ranch in Weatherford. The creator of modern Western shows Yellowstone and Landman is hosting Bosque Ranch Live, an all-day event at Bosque Ranch that'll take place on September 13, with acts such as Drayton Farley
The event will be exclusive, limited to 500 attendees. Tickets range from $500 for general admission and a Bosque Ranch hat to $1,500 for a more exclusive experience featuring breakfast and a meal from Hurtado BBQ with RV parking
The three performers booked so far will be familiar to fans of Sheridan's work, as each has had their music featured in his shows including Yellowstone, Landman, and Tulsa King.
Country music from emerging talents has long been a staple in Sheridan’s shows; big name country star Zach Bryan even performed on an episode of Yellowstone
While the concert is the only one announced
"My career is built on the art of storytelling," Sheridan tellsBillboard
"And nowhere is the storytelling tradition more alive than in country music
My hope is that Bosque Ranch Live is a space where these stories can come to life and sets the stage for more events like it to come."
