Canadian’s Chaynee Slavin is now the world champion pole bender for Team Oklahoma, following her three performances at the National Junior High Finals Rodeo in Perry, Georgia, last week. Slavin scored a combined 60.843 on her three pole runs, competing against 164 other riders.

Three juveniles were issued citations early this week for vandalizing several locations in town with graffiti. Sheriff Brent Clapp said the damage—which, he hastened to note, is not related to the recently-vandalized Tom Brown sign on Main Street—was reported to his office on Monday, June 20. A second report was received Tuesday. Several structures were defaced with black spray paint, including a trailer at Lowe’s, the restrooms at Jackson Park, a yield sign at Willard and Birch, the municipal recycling center, several dumpsters, and three silos along the train tracks. Clapp said his office posted video still shots of the vandals on the HCSO Facebook page. Within an hour and a half, the miscreants’ identities were reported. Each one was cited for a Class C misdemeanor.
