Oklahoma state agencies seem to believe they’re on Santa’s nice list: They have requested an additional $815 million in funding for fiscal year 2023. This includes $660 million in appropriated funds.

This request for additional funding comes at a time when families across the state are dealing with ever-increasing prices. Inflation hit 6.8 percent in November.

If a person encounters four or more “adverse experiences” as a child, there’s a far greater chance he or she will have difficulties adjusting later in life.

Associate District Judge Bob Hughey offered that glimpse into how young people are assessed when they become involved with the Canadian County Children’s Justice Center.

Hughey serves as judge for the juvenile court as well as the chief administrator for the center. He addressed the El Reno Now audience last week.

New high-quality video surveillance will be installed at Canadian County-owned buildings. County commissioners approved paying DIGI Security Systems about $339,000 for a new security camera system at county government buildings.

Lt. Mike Grimes with the Canadian County Sheriff's Office recommended the purchase, which is being made through the vendor’s state contract. Two companies submitted bids for the project.

El Reno Girl Scouts will be delivering homemade Christmas stockings to local nursing home residents this week.

The Scouts of Daisy Troop 180, Brownie Troop 125, Junior and Cadet Troop 165 and Senior Troop 108 crafted dozens of bright red stockings to help brighten the days for the nursing home residents.

The Scouts put their skills to use at the El Reno Senior Citizens Center with the support of Center Director Jill York.
