Much of this week’s Clinton City Council meeting centered around whether to close the playgrounds at all city parks because of COVID-19 concerns.
A Clinton man was successfully subdued by the Clinton Police Department and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol after allegedly brandishing an axe during an altercation at his home – which the suspect also allegedly attempted to burn down – Tuesday afternoon.
Three area men were taken to the hospital following a two-vehicle accident on Interstate 40 near Elk City.
The candidate filing period began Wednesday for four county offices up for re-election this year, as well as the District 57 State Representative seat.
DAY SHIFT
DEAR HARRIETTE: I have been dating this guy for about a year, and I recently learned that I am pregnant. I am so scared. We are in a good relationship, but nothing close to permanent. We used protection, but clearly that didn’t work. I don’t believe in abortion, but I also don’t have a job. I’m in school. My parents will kill me if I have to drop out. I know that adoption could be an option, but I hear horror stories about how kids can feel lost when they are given up for adoption. I haven’t told my boyfriend or my parents. I don’t know what to do. — Next Steps
