To the Editor:

In July, Dub was diagnosed with cancer and the Haynes Studio nightmare began.

Every day, running to Oklahoma City for tests, scans, treatments, etc. Our anxiety went off the charts because we had commitments that had to be done. 

In stepped the El Reno Tribune and Glen Miller. 

The Tribune contacted Coach Cook and his staff and made all the arrangements, then called us and said “We want to help.”

I can’t tell you how much anxiety they took off our minds. 

To the Editor:

Tuesday night’s City Council meeting was a reminder of how important it is for our community to have clear communication, strong preparation and a shared vision for the future of downtown.

Across the nation, Main Street Programs serve as tools for cities to revitalize their historic districts. When local governments partner with programs like ours — affiliated with Main Street America and the Oklahoma Main Street Center — they unlock access to a wealth of resources.

Here we go again. It’s time for another performance of American politicians’ favorite off-Broadway play, “Shutdown Panic.”

“Congress only has a few weeks to avoid a government shutdown,” Mitchell Hill reports at WTOP, “but leaders of both parties are still a long way from agreeing on a stopgap spending bill to keep federal workers on the job.”

Weatherford dedicated a new Route 66 Centennial Monument Project recently. 

The monument, featuring Space City on the nameplate, is the ninth installation for the national project.

An additional 14 are committed to be installed in the coming months across Route 66 from Illinois to California.

The monument is adjacent to the new giant astronaut the city is installing, creating another selfie location for the global tourists who visit the Mother Road.
