CHICKASHA —
Four-month-old Jace Glass’ heart needs help.
Born with multiple heart conditions, Jace will need several surgeries in the near future and more when he reaches one year of age. The results of the surgeries could vary from no complications to wearing a pace maker, said his mother, Katie Crosley.
Jace’s surgeries will be performed in Boston and he will need to spend about a month in the hospital afterwards. The cost of transportation, a month of living expenses for Crosley and Jace’s father Charlie glass daily meals and the surgeries themselves mean a staggering cost for the young family.
All of this comes just after they lost their home.
In November, Crosley and Charlie Glass’ home burned to the ground when Jace was just seven weeks old. They have been living in a duplex owned by Crosley’s cousin for the time being.
Jace is asymptomatic. He sweats a lot because his heart is a lot smaller than most babies’, Crosley said.
A poker run for Jace will take place on March 2.
The poker run will start at Bronco Corner at 9 a.m., where riders will get directions to the next stopping point. First bike out at noon. The run will end at Miller Ranch off of Highway 19, on Sooner Road. There will be a fish fry, barbecue, bake sale, an auction and live music.

Chickasha is all too familiar with the after effects of violent storms as the city sustained an EF-4 just two years ago. The recent tragedy that the city of Moore has undergone with an identical twister has brought back memories for much of the Grady County community, and served as an incentive to begin relief efforts.

Plans to export US natural gas stir debate
A domestic natural gas boom already has lowered U.S. energy prices while stoking fears of environmental disaster. Now U.S. producers are poised to ship vast quantities of gas overseas as energy companies seek permits for proposed export projects that could set off a renewed frenzy of fracking.
