Stillwater News Press to hold open house for new location
On Thursday, Stillwater News Press will host an open house to the public. The open house will take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the News Press building located at 502 S. Duck Street. The open house will take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The building is new to the press but not to Stillwater. Built in 1908, the 2,900-square-foot building was originally a home before hosting many commercial interests. Known locally as the Berry House, it was built by James. E. Berry, who would go on to serve at Lt. Governor. It was entered into the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. The modern day Stillwater News Press is a successor of the merger of many other newspapers. The News Press dates back to the weekly Stillwater Advance as well as the Stillwater Daily Democrat. Stillwater Advance was established in 1892, 15 years before Oklahoma became an official state. Stillwater Advance held up against other newspaper competitors. Adding to the early success, I.O. Diggs purchased the Daily Democrat and combined the two papers, which gained much traction. Shortly after, Diggs sold the papers and migrated west to California. One of Diggs' successors was G.R. Gould, the father of "Dick Tracy" creator Chester Gould. After three different purchases of the paper after Diggs, the name was changed from Stillwater Advance to Payne County News. After an ownership change once again, in 1929 E.E 'Hook' Johnson became the new publisher of the paper. C.R. Bellatti and R.M. Bellatti became part owners. The Bellattis and Johnson combined the Stillwater Daily press and the Stillwater Daily news to make what is now Stillwater News Press. C.R. Bellatti was the publisher of Stillwater News Press for a long period. The Bellatti family was dedicated to pushing out news to the north-central part of the state for many years. The Bellatti Family had much success for over 50 years. In 1997, Stillwater News Press was sold by the Bellatti family to Community Newspaper Holdings Inc., a local news provider in 1997. Currently owned by CNHI, Stillwater News Press continues to carry on the legacy and history that transformed the way the north-central part of Oklahoma receives news today. Moving into a new location brings new adventure and opportunities to continue to tell stories of greatness and allows the community to be a part of a rich story that continues on throughout many generations.

EXCLUSIVE Playboy alum turned realtor Kendra Wilkinson seen working $1.5million open house in LA
Once a fixture at the Playboy Mansion and on reality TV, Kendra Wilkinson is hard at work these days, rolling up her sleeves and sweating it out in the world of Los Angeles real estate. The former reality star-turned-realtor was recently snapped hosting a three-hour open house over the weekend for a three-bedroom, three-bath property listed for $1.5million in Westlake Village. Though she was once known for racy outfits, stilettos, and posing alongside fellow girlfriends of Hugh Hefner, she now means business in black flats, real estate signage, and a clipboard. What's more, the open house also happened to fall on Mother's Day, when the majority of other moms are being pampered and celebrated. But exclusive photos instead show the 39-year-old Playboy alum placing signs, sweeping the entryway, and making the property look attractive to potential buyers under the blazing 90F degree sun. She was seen pulling out open house signs, from Ernie Carswell & Associates and Douglas Elliman real estate, from the back of her car. The mom-of-two looked every bit the professional in a leopard blouse and black pants, with her blonde hair pulled into a sleek ponytail. It was obvious that she is taking her new profession seriously and was not distracted by anything going on around her. Kendra, who turns 40 next month, began her real estate journey when she got her license in 2020 and joined fellow reality star realtor Mauricio Umansky's The Agency. Her property show, Kendra Sells Real Estate on Discovery+ and Max, which showcased her struggle as a new agent in the bustling and sometimes cut-throat industry, was canceled after two seasons in 2022. Kendra has two children from her almost ten year marriage to professional football player Hank Baskett III, 42, which ended in 2018, and produced their son Hank Baskett IV, 15, and daughter Alijah, 11. It hasn't been an easy road for this former sex symbol who moved into the Playboy mansion at age 18, and became one of the famous trio of Hugh Hefner's girlfriends. She was able to parlay her time with Hef—60-years her senior—into multiple successful reality shows including Kendra on E!, Kendra On Top with the We Network, and Kendra Sells Hollywood. On social media, she often advertises properties that are on the market and other open house events. She shared photos of the time slots for the showings days earlier, with the caption: 'What my Mother's Day weekend looks like!!' In a candid Instagram post days after the open house, Kendra admitted that her burgeoning real estate career has not been as lucrative as she wants and needs to support her family. 'I spent years out of the spotlight before I chose to become a realtor and yes, I definitely need the money,' she wrote on May 13. 'Am I making sh*t tons of money…I sure hope that day comes.' On social media, she often advertises properties that are on the market and other open house events She shared photos of the time slots for the showings days earlier, with the caption: 'What my Mother's Day weekend looks like!!' Fans of the the first Girls Next Door spin-off show remember a crying Kendra shorty after the birth of their son, questioning her then husband Hank about their financial future after his football career ends and reality show fame ends saying she hadn't been to college and had no skills. At the height of her fame, she was commanding $10,000 just to appear at a pool party in Las Vegas. She went from living the $100million Playboy mansion, to a $2.5million home behind gates in Calabasas to now a $3,500-a-month rental in the Agoura Hills area of Los Angeles County. Last week, the former TV star took to Instagram to address claims that she is 'still holding on to her ex '. She penned a lengthy message to her followers while reflecting on the ways she has 'changed.' 'I just got a comment basically saying I'm not the same, I come across sad, still holding on to my ex,' Kendra began. 'I just want to say that….yes I have changed. 'I just got a comment basically saying I'm not the same, I come across sad, still holding on to my ex,' Kendra began. 'I just want to say that….yes I have changed' 'Yes I've been depressed as I've stated in almost every interview I've been doing and no I'm not holding onto my ex!! I'm simply giving him respect he deserves being an amazing co parent.' Wilkinson then explained that interviews are not easy for her due to the topic of her Playboy days being brought up 'every single time.' The mom-of-two added, 'I've tried for years to avoid going backwards but people still have a hunger for it i guess.' On a positive note, Kendra told her fans that her life 'has actually been fun and exciting. On September 6, 2023 she made headlines when it was revealed that her ex-husband had driven her to the hospital emergency room after having a severe anxiety attack along with a deep bout of depression. 'It was the lowest place I've ever been in my life. I felt like I had no future. I couldn't see in front of my depression,' she told People magazine in January of 2024. She has previously revealed that she did not form many close friendships during her five years living at the Playboy Mansion After not eating and sleeping for days she said her head was constantly spinning. Kendra says she kept asking herself, 'How am I going to succeed? What am I doing wrong in my life? Do I give up?' While she waffles on whether her years with Hef actually 'saved' her after troubled teenaged years, or 'really messed my whole life up,' one thing is sure, her children keep her motivated and going strong. Her proudest role these days is as a mom. Kendra's social media accounts are filled with photos of her cheering on son Hank at his basketball and hockey games, or daughter Alijah at her sporting events.

I couldn't trust my cheating boyfriend and broke down over his orgy with FOUR women but swinging saved our romance…with one unbreakable rule
AFTER years of playing the field, Mark found his soulmate in stunning blonde Tannith - but he still struggled to tame his wandering eye. Within a few weeks of getting together Mark, from Wakefield, Yorkshire had cheated - leaving Tannith with trust issues that continued as the relationship grew deeper. 9 9 Incredibly, her solution was to invite another girl into their bed - and the couple signed up to join the luxury retreat on Channel 4's Open House: The Great Sex experiment. But the first night left her in floods of tears after Mark had an orgy with FOUR other women. And it's not for the reason you might think. In an exclusive chat with The Sun, Mark, 40, said: 'Tan was really upset because she felt left out. We'd never done anything separately.' Viewers see the dog walker, 30, decide not to hook up with anyone at her mixer and head back to their room to wait for Mark. On his return, she breaks down in tears as he reveals his escapades - even though he hadn't breached any of the ground rules they'd set. 'You never know how you'll feel in those kinds of situations,' Tannith explained. 'My insecurities flared up, which I didn't expect. I just couldn't control my emotions. 'When Mark came back and broke the news, It was a lot of feelings at once.' Despite her emotional reaction, Tannith was determined not to quit the show. I was too nervous to perform in the bedroom and thought my eight-year relationship was over - but an orgy with FIVE strangers gave us a new spark 9 She continued: "I knew we could make non-monogamy work for us. I didn't want to give up on the experiment. 'For us, going off and doing things separately doesn't really fit with how we are. We're a very close couple. 'We've come out stronger than ever because of what we went through. It appealed to me because often relationships go stale or people are dishonest and go behind each other's backs. This kind of lifestyle takes that away. Mark, Open House guest 'Our communication and trust is better than any relationship I've ever been in.' Mark admitted he didn't expect such a tearful reaction from his partner and says it was the 'worst part of my experience.' He added: 'It's hard because in there you can't communicate with your partner to check things are ok. The residents can, but we weren't able to.' For most people, their partner having an orgy would end a relationship, but the pair insists they never thought the show would cause a split. 'I don't think it was every going to break us because we were seeing it as an experiment, we knew what we'd signed up for,' Tannith explained. The couple have seen the previous two series after she suggested swinging to Mark, in a bid to make the romance work. Shock invite 9 9 Laughing, Mark added: 'We never expected to hear anything back from it. "It appealed to me because often relationships go stale or people are dishonest and go behind each other's backs. 'This kind of lifestyle takes that away. We speak openly about everything and there's no dishonesty. It's been perfect for us.' As part of the show, the couple spent a couple of hours with non-monogomy therapist Effy who counselled them through their difficult first night. During the sessions, Tannith realised she spent a lot of time trying to please other people rather than focusing on herself. As a result, the couple were challenged to let Tannith choose someone for them to have a threesome with on their final night. She selected French stunner Marie after spending time building up courage and getting encouragement from her other half. 'I was proud to be making decisions for both of us, listening to what I wanted,' Tannith said. 'I'm quite shy normally, so it was making me very nervous going round and speaking to people. "I picked Marie because she was really kind, plus I speak French from living there for nine years. 'We spent a lot of time getting to know her before going all the way.' Lasting connection 9 9 Since their threesome on the show, the couple have attended a few local swinger parties and Tannith adds: "We don't always do something at the parties. We really enjoy the connections we make and the friendships that come from it." The one rule for each encounter is that they never "play" separately and the choice of partner is chosen together. The couple have also continued to meet up with some of the residents of the house, mainly Chelle who lives nearby in Yorkshire. Tannith said: 'We've built a really good bond with her. You don't have to do anything or everything each time you see someone.' That bond has been intensified as the couple are expecting a baby, due in August, and single mum Chelle has been giving them plenty of advice. It also means that for now, the couple have put swinging on ice until after the pregnancy. Gazing at Tannith, Mark told me: 'I couldn't imagine a better person to bring our child into the world.' Open House: The Great Sex Experiment airs from Friday on Channel 4 at 10pm and available for streaming. 9
