Eric Palmer, 33, Roberta Hamilton, 64, and Ronnie Funck, 74, will face off in the Feb. 14 election.

Undefeated in dual meets, El Reno High School’s wrestling team proved it’s a salty tournament team as well following a fourth-place finish in the 2022 Mid-America Nationals.
The field of 35 teams came from Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Arkansas and Utah. All teams were ranked with 13 appearing in the top 15 of their respective classes and 11 in the top five.
El Reno, ranked third in Class 5A, was the highest placing team in its class and the second highest Oklahoma team with 332 points. Marlow, Class 3A’s top-ranked team, was third with 372 points.
Watching Julie Holdcraft work with her lab, Birdie, is like watching kids play the game “red light, green light.”
Holdcraft, 18, keeps a whistle in her mouth while her dad or mom fling a hunk of rubber tied to a piece of rope as far as they can.
The object represents a duck that got caught in a hunter’s sights.
Birdie’s job is to keep track of where the objects land. She does this while sitting patiently next to Holdcraft. But she’s also wound up like a spring, ready to uncoil.
Organizers of a community Christmas dinner for members of the Oklahoma National Guard and their families called the event a “huge success.”

Salsman was one of the main organizers for the dinner that took place Sunday at the National Guard Armory in El Reno. But she said many others pitched in to help with the event.
