U.S. Sen. James Lankford sent a text message to West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin in February when Oklahoma was experiencing below zero temperatures.
“I told him thank you for the coal,” Lankford said, referring to Manchin’s home state being heavily involved in coal production. “Without it we would have frozen to death.”
Lankford was in El Reno Tuesday, meeting with constituents and city officials. He spoke to a luncheon group at Swadley’s where he related the story about Manchin, a Democrat considered one of the most powerful swing votes in an evenly divided Senate.

Changes are coming for telephone customers in the 405 area code.
Starting April 24, all local calls within 405 will require 10-digit dialing. That means you will have to dial the area code plus the local number.
The move to 10-digit dialing for local 405 area code calls is necessary to enable the addition of another area code for the area currently served by only 405.
The additional area code (572) is needed to ensure there will be enough telephone numbers available for the area.
On Saturday, April 3 from 10 a.m. to noon, Wesley United Methodist Church will provide an opportunity for your pet to have its photo taken with the Easter bunny.
