Victoria Lee loves to shop. Mostly for others.

The owner of The Junkyard Diva has embarked on her second campaign she’s dubbed as “Pay it Forward - Warmth for Winter.”

Lee looks in stores throughout the year at everyday items people need. Shoes, coats, blankets and any other thing that can help make life a little less difficult.

And she has a system.

While she looks at the items, what she most notices is how much they are marked down. If the price is right, Lee scoops up all she can afford and stores it away.

City of El Reno workers, along with those from the Oklahoma Environmental Management Authority helped unload thousands of pounds of unwanted household items ranging from lumber to furniture and appliances for most of the day on Saturday.

The annual Bulk Trash Dump Day was deemed a great success as lines of pickups and trailers could be seen at the dump site just west of the Denny-Crump Rodeo Arena.

Applications are available online for tuition waivers and scholarships for current and prospective Redlands Community College students.

Tuition waiver scholarships range from $250 to $1,000 for each academic year, while the Redlands Community College Foundation offers nearly 40 scholarships.

High school juniors and seniors can also apply for a scholarship to offset fees associated with concurrent classes.

“We are pleased to be able to offer students a way to make a college education more affordable,” said Redlands President Jack Bryant.

Graveside services for Sean “Bucky” Gilmore of El Reno will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 14 in the El Reno Cemetery.

Mr. Gilmore passed away Nov. 2, 2020, at St. Anthony Hospital in Oklahoma City with his family by his side. He was born Sept. 22, 1957, in El Reno. He spent the majority of his workforce on the railroad and as a truck driver. He was an Army Reserve veteran, and most importantly, a self-proclaimed barbecue champion.

He had a passion for motorcycles and enjoyed hunting and fishing.

Bucky married Denise Ramsey on Oct. 24, 1981, in El Reno.
