With early zoning votes on the Beltline project coming in June, leaders say developers must prove they can meet their own heavy water needs without straining limited supplies from Oklahoma City and local wells, and may help fund infrastructure upgrades.
   

• Herman's brilliance lifts Jenks back to mountaintop (golfoklahoma.org) — Piedmont High’s girls golf team finished ninth at the state tournament, competing against top programs like Jenks, Edmond North, and Norman North at Hillcrest Country Club in Bartlesville.
