Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt joined local leaders in Chickasha last week to unveil plans for a major new industrial park and power generation initiative - projects representing the largest single private investment in the city’s history.

Spearheaded by Chet Hitt, the development of the industrial park is projected to attract high-demand industries, potentially creating thousands of new jobs and injecting approximately $3.5 billion into the local economy.

According to the Food Research and Action Center, out of every 100 students in the United States receiving a free or reduced-priced lunch during school months, only 11 get such meals over the summer break.

That figure alone translates into millions of children, ages 18 and under, going hungry at some point during the summer.

A staggering figure, says El Reno Public Schools Community Outreach Director Brooke Robertson, and helping lower that figure is why the district remains committed to its summer food distribution program.

Miscommunication on the game’s final play between backup quarterback Zane Balentine and El Reno’s Xzavier Karty kept the West out of the end zone and the win column during the 2025 Oklahoma Native All-State Association's Football Game.

Central Sallisaw’s Xhaiden Mosby intercepted Balentine’s pass in the end zone with 19 seconds to play, sealing the East’s 7-6 victory.

“It was going to me. It was an out and up route and I guess there was some miscommunication,” said Karty.
