An OHP report released Sunday says the girl died at a Dallas hospital where she was taken following the accident on private property on Thursday. The girl’s name was not released. The report says the girl was driving the ATV when the left rear tire separated from the wheel and the vehicle rolled on top of her. The report says an investigation into the crash still is under way. Read it at enidnews.com Local author receives award By Jessica Miller Staff Writer A Hennessey author has been recognized for a book focused on the assimilation of immigrants in a local one- room school setting. Richard Simunek, a 1964 Hennessey High School graduate who returned to the community a year ago, recently was awarded the Scholarship and Artistry Award at the Country School Association of America annual meeting. “I feel both very proud and very hum- ble. I think this is a tremendously inter- esting story of history told from the bot- tom up. And to have a group of profes- sionals, whose primary efforts are dedi- cated to the preservation of one-room schools and their history, designate the Lone Star book for this award, it just made me feel very proud,” he said. “I always point out that I kind of wrote the beginning and summary chapters and sort of the transition chapters. So, by word count, I only wrote 7 percent of the book.” The remainder of the “Lone Star School: Now We Are Going to Be Americans” book comes from the school’s students, Simunek said. Students of the Lone Star School — which was locat- ed 8 miles east and 2 miles north of Hennessey — kept mementos in a cardboard box. When Simunek learned the former students were con- sidering no longer holding reunions, he proposed copy- ing everything in the box and making scrapbooks for the Hennessey library and the county museum in Kingfisher. As part of the process, he requested family histories and found that many of the histories touched on immigra- tion. “As I got these histories and they touched upon the Revolutionary War, the French and Indian War, the Civil War, I realized that this was becoming something more than what I envisioned as a simple scrapbook. It was becoming an American history book, all kind of packed into the nine square miles of the traditional one-room school district,” he said. Simunek’s father, uncle and aunt attended the Lone Star School before its doors were closed in May 1946. “This is a book of immigration and assimilation,” he said. According to Simunek, there was friction between the local Protestant and Catholic immigrants. “If there was friction, it wasn’t because somebody was German and somebody was Italian ... it was the reli- gious part,” he said. “And then, when you put these students in this one-room school — where they played together, studied together, learned together, did their Christmas pageants with their cardboard angel wings — this is where the assimilation took place. “It was very difficult to hold onto strictly held beliefs. When you have these strictly held beliefs, there’s always this tendency to stay separate, but that got squashed inside the one-room school classroom.” The book, published by Tate Publishing and Enterprises, is available in bookstores or from www.tatepublishing.com/bookstore, barnesandnoble POLLOCK, La.
