Keep enjoying your harvest as we head into late summer! It's also time to review the past six months of growth to plan what plants need to be moved, replaced, or added as we approach fall.
Anthony: Diversion Hub helps those seeking hope By: Nancy Anthony Guest Columnist May 5, 2021

For most, being arrested and jailed is a low point in life, but an Oklahoma City nonprofit established two years ago is changing that narrative for thousands.
Now being locked up in the Oklahoma County Jail can open up a path to a better life. The Diversion Hub was set up as a free service to help people weave their way through the complicated court system. However, in the past two years, the agency has become much more than that.
The agency is a clearing house of opportunity, serving so many in our community who are desperate to find a foothold. Nearly all the Diversion Hub’s clients are low income and some are indigenous. Alcohol and drug addiction are common. Some are homeless and, for many, hunger is a way of life, so imagine how difficult it might be for them to pay a fine, find transportation to a court date or comply with probation requirements.
