A new support group began its weekly meeting at the Help In Crisis office located at 205 N. College in Tahlequah from 5:30 to 7 p.m. July 28.

Vicki Morgan, sexual assault services coordinator, said the free meetings, which will be held for about 12 weeks, are open to any person suffering from the trauma of sexual assault. An intake form must be completed before attending the group.

An informal information meeting regarding the group will also be held from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Aug. 12 at the Tahlequah Public Library. This meeting is for anyone interested in learning more about the group, Help In Crisis services available for survivors of sexual assault, or information on how to help victims of sexual assault, Morgan said.

For more information, contact Morgan at (918) 456-0673.

After an experiment that lasted several months, the editors at Your TIMES decided this week to end the practice of allowing anonymous comments on our website because most of the comments involve personal attacks and unfounded accusations. These comments do not add information to a story, or add any true insight. While we believe in the free exchange of ideas, it had become evident that was not what was happening in the comment section of our website. Readers can also become fans of Your TIMES on Facebook and may comment on our postings there. Readers are also encouraged to write letters to the editor to the newspaper about matters of public interest. The newspaper circulation is several times that of the web site, so readership is much higher. Letters must include a name and phone number so that we may contact the writer to verify authenticity of the letter. Letters are limited to 500 words and one letter per writer per month is accepted.
