It took three tries and a split city council vote, but Cesar Salazar got the go-ahead last week to build a five-unit housing development at 1415 Gabriel St.

Salazar first approached the city about the project in December. He was requesting to change the zoning on the 0.3989 acre property from Multi-Family Residential (R-3) to a Planned Unit Development with a base Multi-Family (R-3) District.

The item was tabled until January because council had concerns over a number of issues including sidewalks, the setback, and an increase in traffic congestion.

James Kee John was sentenced last week by a Canadian County judge for nine counts of rape and lewd acts with a child after entering a plea of no contest.

After hearing the facts of the case, which revealed a years-long pattern of physical, sexual and psychological abuse by John, as well as a victim impact statement, Special Judge David Halley followed the state’s request and sentenced the defendant to 40 years incarceration, with the remainder of his life on probation.

The victims were 10 and 12 when the abuse started.

Early voting begins Thursday, Feb. 29 for voters in Canadian County. Voters who will not be able to make it to the polls on Election Day have the option of voting early at their county election board.

Canadian County Election Board Secretary Allen Arnold said early voting is open to all voters.

Sample ballots are now available for the March 5 election. Voters can download a sample ballot using the State Election Board OK Voter Portal at oklahoma.gov/elections/ovp or pick up a copy at the Canadian County Election Board during normal business hours.

Canadian County Election Board Secretary Allen Arnold said sample ballots are specific to each person.
