Kingfisher County Sheriff Dennis Banther, right, was the guest speaker of the Kingfisher Rotary Club last week. Pictured with Kingfisher County Associate District Judge Lance Schneiter, Banther narrated a PowerPoint presentation showcasing the new and improved features of the new Kingfisher County Justice Center and also compared the facilities to those recently vacated. “No kidding, I had a bucket in my office permanently in place to collect the constant sewer drip from the floor above,” he commented.
