  • Summary

  • Local News: Bird Flu in Payne County, not an April fools joke. It’s election day in Stillwater, will voters approve a $9 million bond for a new fire station?

National cause célèbre trickles down to concerned local parents when it comes to transgendered persons and bathroom policy at schools.
