STILLWATER  —  An innovative collaboration between two campuses at Oklahoma State University is allowing the institution to play a key role in the state’s fight against COVID-19.

As university leaders considered how to best use its resources to serve the state, a partnership between the main Stillwater campus and OSU Medicine in Tulsa emerged. FDA-approved machines to run the test analysis for COVID-19 were identified at a lab on the Stillwater campus – which would address the state’s limited testing capacity.

It is unlikely Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein had social distancing in mind when they penned the stanza of the adopted state song referring to sitting alone, talking and bird watching.

Just as unlikely is the notion that students statewide were shouting “Yippee ki yay" as they returned to classes on Monday, albeit in an online, distance-learning environment.

As of Thursday afternoon, a race had developed for the office of Canadian County Court Clerk.

Information provided by the county election board shows incumbent Marie Hirst drew an opponent in Rindie Hunt. Both Hirst and Hunt list their addresses as in El Reno.

County Clerk Sherry Murray filed to maintain the office she holds as did Sheriff Chris West and District 2 Commissioner David Anderson.

Murray is from El Reno, while Anderson and West list their addresses as in Mustang.

The filing period was open until 5 p.m. Friday.
