Heroes will be celebrated this summer at the Henryetta public library reading program. The annual program is designed to encourage children to read more and includes special events, speakers and activities. It will be held at the Henryetta civic center with youngsters from first through eighth grade age invited to participate. Registration starts June 1 at the library.
According to librarian Joann Hott, "Every Hero Has a Story," is going to delight first through fifth graders. The summer program will meet every Tuesday from 1:40 to 2:30 p.m. at the civic center starting June 16 through July 28. On tap include stores of the pony express, the U.S. Army, and even the Civil War.
	Prizes will be given out based on the number of minutes students read. They range from door hangers to posters, playing cards and note pads. A special drawing will be held at the end of the summer for a year's subscription to the kids National Geographic magazine.

Oklahoma Department of Transportation workers were trying to grind away several layers of asphalt in an attempt to aleviate water standing on Main Street. The area between Ninth and Tenth streets sank by a couple of feet some 30 years ago apparently after an old coal mine tunnel collapsed. Since then, water has pooled in the low spot resulting in a danger for eastbound motorists. The map below shows a general idea of where subsurface coal mines were operating in and around Henryetta in the early 1900s. One of those areas is in the southwest part of town that has mine tunnels running throughout a large part of the residential area.
