El Reno High School’s cheerleading squad held its annual youth clinic recently where campers learned skills and routines.

Those efforts were showcased to the public before last week’s home game with Guthrie.

A new director now leads the staff and programs at the Gary E. Miller Canadian County Children’s Justice Center, 7905 East Highway 66.

Mallory Poplin recently joined the center after a 20-year career with the Oklahoma Department of Human Services.

Poplin was introduced last week at the meeting of the county commissioners.

“Welcome aboard,” Commissioner Tom Manske said.

“We’re glad to have you on the team.”

Under the light of a Hunter’s Moon, the Heritage Express rolls toward its station after taking riders through a run of the third annual Haunted Trolley.

The event is a fundraiser for the El Reno Arts Council in connection with the Canadian County Historical Society and El Reno High School’s drama department.

County commissioners earlier this week gave final approval of a floodplain permit for Allsup’s Convenience Store at 3156 N. Banner Road. This is the site of the former Shell food plaza and gas station along Banner Road north of I-40.

The Canadian County Floodplain Board had to review the permit request because part of the property is within the floodplain.

Floodplain board members at an Oct. 7 meeting granted an application from BW Gas & Convenience Real Estate, LLC to construct the new convenience store on the property.
