Officials accept state help with redistricting

Body

Canadian County officials have accepted an offer from state legislative staff to help with redistricting.

New county commissioners, state legislative and congressional district lines are redrawn after every 10 years, following the federal census.

Canadian County commissioners have signed an agreement with the Oklahoma House and Senate redistricting offices, which will provide “redistricting technical support” using data from the 2020 U.S. Census.

“We could use some of their help,” said Commissioner Jack Stewart.

Letter to the Editor: Outstanding photography

Body

To the Editor:

The photo on the front page of the El Reno Tribune on Sept. 25 was absolutely outstanding. The photo of the Fort Reno Cavalry Competition is truly the picture of the year.

Glen Miller did such a beautiful job of capturing the story of joy, excitement, pride and freedom found at the competition, not only with that photo, but with all the photos of the troopers in the 2021 Cavalry Competition.

Mr. Miller, thank you for sharing your God-given photography skills with us. And thank you to the troopers in the photos for their service.
