The first Sunday of the new academic year provided an opportunity for Southwestern Christian University student-athletes to come together for more than competition....it was a chance to begin the year united in worship.

Student-athletes from every SCU athletics program gathered for the university's first Sunday church service, joining fellow students, faculty, and staff as the campus community celebrated the start of a new school year centered on faith.

Each athletic team was recognized during the service, highlighting the commitment of SCU student-athletes to grow not only in their respective sports but also in their walk with Christ. The gathering served as a reminder of the university's mission to develop leaders through faith, academics, and athletics.

Over the past year, communities all along Route 66 have participated in activities to celebrate the 100th birthday of the Mother Road. With the help of the Oklahoma Route 66 Commission, towns and cities of all sizes have had festivals, classic car caravans, concerts, art installations, new highway shields, refurbishing of neon lights on historical signs just for a sampling. Route 66 runs along as the 39th Street Expressway through Bethany.

Lt. Governor Matt Pinnell will be speaking on Tuesday, September 1 at the Bethany Public Library, 6700 NW 35th St, to celebrate the long-time relationship between the town and the highway.

Doors open at 12:30 p.m. and the program will be from 1-2 p.m. The program is jointly sponsored by the Bethany Library and the Rt. 66 OKC Republican Women's Club. Admission is free and the event is open to the public.

In an effort to modernize its fleet, reduce repair costs and the downtime associated with that, Bethany Police Chief Chad Meek made a request to the city to approve a lease-purchase program for several new vehicles.

In his letter to the city August 17, Chief Meek said the department's vehicle total is down to 32 from 37. The reduction in vehicles is due to mechanical failure of units and the department's decision to surplus and move away from the two motorcycles.

The inventory list provided from Chief Meek to the city includes vehicles dating back to 2012. A vast majority of them are from 2020-21. There are 15 vehicles from this era, most of which are Dodge Durangos.

Reid Newspapers has already made our decision in the Republican race for governor: We endorsed Gentner Drummond. With the runoff approaching, we believe it is worth explaining why we continue to stand behind that endorsement.

President Donald Trump’s endorsement in this race was well-intentioned, but we believe he missed the call. His endorsement of Drummond’s opponent does not change our view of who is best prepared to lead Oklahoma.

Oklahoma faces challenges in many areas. Drummond’s opponent had numerous opportunities to address those problems during his time as a legislator, but failed to do so. Now, he promises tax cuts, despite having authored legislation that would have been the largest tax hike in Oklahoma history.
