Commissioners won’t fund historic jail restoration

Body

Citing the high cost and better use of taxpayer money, Canadian County commissioners agreed not to allocate funds to refurbish the historic county jail.

After reviewing two proposals from roofing contractors, construction manager Erick Westfahl said a proposed restoration/stabilization project, as recommended by an engineer, would cost $448,292. The preliminary estimate was $550,000 to replace the roof, shore up the structure and restore the exterior, along with sheathing, masonry repairs and sanitation cleanup.

Note: This is the second article in an effort to look behind the scenes of how Canadian County law enforcement and other entities work to find and stop online predators of children.

There’s an old saying “It takes a village to raise a child.”

In reality, however, not every adult in those villages has the best interest of children at heart. In fact, it’s just the opposite – a dark sadistic opposite.

Residents to have say in naming lake walking trail

Body

El Reno residents will get to weigh in on choosing a name for the walking trail at Lake El Reno.

The city council agreed to submit three names for locals to choose from. A social media poll will offer residents these choices: Lakeview Trail, Bison Trail and Sunset Trail.

The names were submitted by residents during an online contest put on by the city. Residents submitted possible names for the trail being developed around the lake. City Manager Matt Sandidge said more than 100 names were submitted. “Some of them were really good, some of them were not,” he said.
