One advantage of running the same system each year is the ability to plug in new players to the lineup with little or no lost momentum from the previous season.

“We have a system and everyone knows that system. It’s been here for years and we run it throughout the summer and in everything we do. We have guys come in here and they know their roles, they know the system and they know what their expectations are.

“From there we just plug in any holes we have the best we can,” said El Reno head coach Rodney Haydon.

Growing up in a Nazarene Church in Arkansas, Nick Phillips had two constant influences directing him to what he thought would be his future career path – his faith and a love for music.

“I felt the calling to be a music worship leader in a church,” said Phillips.

As it turns out, God had different plans for the Little Rock native.

He shared his thoughts about his career choice with his youth pastor at Brockington Road Church of the Nazarene. Little did Phillips know that his religious mentor was a part-time teacher and that this conversation would be a life-changer.

A decision on whether to increase the Canadian County sheriff’s base salary as allowed by state statute is expected next week.

County commissioners voted 2-1 to table for one week action related to county officers salary range.

Sheriff Chris West, citing a growing challenge to recruit and retain deputies, has asked commissioners to approve a resolution that would increase the sheriff’s base salary to $74,500.

El Reno will celebrate the Christmas season with the annual Downtown Christmas Parade on Saturday, Dec. 7, and will follow that up a week later with The Holly Jolly Trolley.

Christmas in the Movies is the parade theme for the annual event. It's a fitting nod to the impact the movie Twisters is expected to have.

El Reno was featured in the dramatic ending of the movie, much of which was filmed in the downtown in the summer of 2023.

The movie has already helped lure tour bus groups to town.

The parade, put on by Main Street, is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m.

It’s officially Christmas time! I think we are the only house in our neighborhood not decorated for Christmas. I’m working on it. I figure Jesus’ birthday isn’t until Dec. 25 so I have some time. 

Congrats to El Reno on being named as the official birthplace of the fried-onion hamburger! Go check out the sign at Mother Road Plaza. That’s good stuff!

The Oklahoma Environmental Management Authority (OEMA) said it has acquired four new compressed natural gas (CNG) waste management vehicles, funded in part by a grant from the Association of Central Oklahoma Governments (ACOG).

The grant has enabled OEMA to purchase a side-load CNG truck and a front-load CNG truck and two roll-off CNG trucks.

As a service to taxpayers, Canadian County Treasurer Jay Arnold is bringing back mobile payment sites for the 2024 tax season.

“I am excited to announce our return in offering a more convenient way to pay your property taxes,” Arnold said.

“We had tremendous success last year with many requests to open up the mobile site locations for the second-half payment as well as for those who choose to pay their property taxes in two installments.”
