The parking lot was full of cars and trucks Monday night. So were about 20 chairs in the audience at the Hennessey Board of Education meeting.

Kingfisher City Commission seated its newest commissioner Tuesday when Geoff Covalt (at left in the left photo and at far right) was sworn in to replace commissioner Richard Ray Reynolds. City Attorney Jared Harrison administers the oath of office to Covalt in the left photo. Mayor Roxie Alexander presented a plaque recognizing Reynolds’ service to the commission. Reynolds was appointed to complete Alexander’s term of office after she was elected mayor in 2020. Reynolds lost a re-election bid last April to Covalt and Farrar, and then Covalt emerged the winner of a runoff election last month. “It’s been an honor and a learning experience to serve,” Reynolds said.

Kingfisher County natives Jennifer Storck (left) and Gina Denten (right) completed the 125th Boston Marathon last Monday. The long time friends crossed the finish line together in 4:10.43. “Boston was incredible!” reported Storck after the race. “As predicted, we ran slower - the course was hilly and tough - but we did it and finished together!” Denten grew up in Lacy and currently lives in Colorado. Storck grew up in Ames, but graduated from Hennessey in 1994, two years after Denten. She lives with her family in Texas. They are pictured below crossing the finish line (see arrow) at Boston, which is the oldest and one of the most prestigious marathons in the world.
