Reflecting on a year as news editor
I’ve been the news editor of Mustang News for a year now, folks. Wow. That statement is still slightly unbelievable to me. I walked into the News’ office for my first day Aug. 3, 2020 — in high block heels, mind you. How completely naïve of me to think those suckers would last the entire…
Read MoreSports opinion: Why apologize Baker? You earned the flag plant!
Rewind one year to September 2016. Ohio State visits Norman to take on Oklahoma in one of the most anticipated college football games of the year.

Read MoreFive reasons why Mustang, Yukon will win Bedlam 2017

Read MoreRemembering… Kind of Heart
By Molly Lemmons, Mustang resident and former Mustang News columnist “This seems like a perfect, gentle place to live and raise children, doesn’t it?” I was speaking to my husband as we drove through the little town of Mustang, Oklahoma in the fall of 1963.

Saturday’s grand opening for Brittany’s Play Adventure was truly something special. I got emotional and teared up when I saw all the children and adults walk past the sign and walk into the now open playground. Young or old, disabled or not, everyone was together, everyone was unified and everyone was able to play. Tiffany…
Read MoreWonder Woman turns out to be the (wo)man for the job
*Spoilers may be contained, but I promise not to give away the ending or any big plot twists. As a superhero movie fan, and as one of the rare people who enjoyed DC’s “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” and “Suicide Squad,” I expected to like Wonder Woman, whether it became a Blockbuster hit or not.

The remake stayed true to the original plot, some scenes being almost an exact match to the 1991 cartoon, which has brought about some complaints, but I thought it was brilliant. Director Bill Condon kept the original “tale as old…
