Sheriff Chris West said all but two of 24 inmates at the Canadian County Jail who tested positive for the coronavirus are now considered “fully recovered.”

Last week, West said 36 inmates had been tested earlier in August with 24 showing positive results for having contracted the virus. At that time, 16 inmates were moved to jails outside of the county, although only one person was considered symptomatic.

An inmate that was transferred from Oklahoma County became symptomatic and prompted other prisoners to be tested for COVID-19, the sheriff said.

A 12-year-old El Reno boy was killed when the vehicle he was traveling in collided with a pickup. The accident happened on U.S. 81, three miles south of Minco, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol reported.

The accident happened just before 11 a.m. Thursday at County Road 1220 on U.S. 81.

The OHP said a 2018 Ford F350 going north on U.S. 81 was being driven by Stephen B. Willmon, 48, of Chickasha. A 2013 Dodge Avenger driven by Carmen Garcia, 40, of El Reno was traveling south on 81.

Lake El Reno is open for business.

City officials announced the reopening of the lake Friday morning for all water activity after closing it Wednesday. The lake level had climbed to unsafe levels after heavy  rains on Monday and Tuesday.

More than 4 inches of rain fell in parts of the city.

But by Friday, the lake was said to be safe again for swimmers and boaters just in time for the long Labor Day weekend.

A new 18,500-square-foot corporate office building for Lucky Star Casino approaches the midway point of construction.

The Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes broke ground for the corporate office building in 2019. It is located in Concho, near the Lucky Star Casino.

New Fire Native Design architectural firm, a Native-owned business located in Oklahoma City, designed the building, with Thompson Construction overseeing the construction.

Thompson Construction is owned by Cheyenne and Arapaho tribal citizen Rob Thompson.
