hmmm.... They've apparently updated their site with a new layout and graphics... I think that is why. I am unable to find the article.

While I do think the recent improvements to the Norman Transcript and Edmond Sun websites have helped make them marginally better, they are still awful websites.

Has anyone seen the new layout for the OK Gazette or OKC.biz? That's a very clean, easy to navigate setup that's enjoyable to utilize. I wish more of our local news websites would take lessons on how to construct decent websites. Particularly given the emphasis on digital content and immediate news delivery bringing so many visitors to an outdated, dysfunctional website.

Rotary dedicates new playground at Edmond 66 Park - The Edmond Sun: News

[gurantula35]

The ASA Mens C National softball tourney was suppose to be held at this park this weekend. Over 50 teams from 5 states are entered and they had to move ballparks because this wasnt ready. They have moved it to Mustang's softball fields. Disappointment for sure.

Finally about done with the fields. Was told that the city was suppose to hand over the keys to the Edmond Adult Softball Association on March 1. We'll see if it actually happens.

I'm glad. This theft delayed the opening further than it already was (and cost the city plenty of money).

I agree. Copper theft in general angers me and it's good to see some people get caught for it.

I prefer it when they get caught, by trying to steal a "live" wire, and are electrocuted to death. Like, Crispy, burnt black, with dark magenta puss oozing out of their eye sockets electrocuted.

With all the copper theft going on, I cannot get anyone to take some old copper plumbing tubing I took out. I left it next to my driveway for all most 6 months and no one took it. I've been driving around with it in a box in the back of my truck and still no luck. I even went up to Minn. for 2 weeks and no one took it. Go figure.

If it's still in the back of your truck, drive it to a metal recycling center and sell it. Be your own copper thief.
