About 50 years ago, Readers’ Digest used to run a continuing column about “My Most Unforgettable Character,” written by a person who knew the unique individual. After teaching at NWOSU for roughly 40 years, I’ve gotten to know a number of people who would qualify for inclusion in the unforgettable category, but one in particular comes to mind. As a first-time teacher at the university, I met Joseph Duane Budney in the fall semester of 1966. (He preferred “Joe” or “Budney”). At the time, he had finished his enlistment in the Air Force, and enro...
Face it, our floors here in the Midwest get freezing cold in the wintertime. So cold that you really can’t just ignore them. “I’ll just mosey into the kitchen in my bare feet and get me a cup of coffee and make myself a sandwich. It’s only minus 15 degrees on my tile floor.” Nope, there is something about bare feet suddenly hitting a biting-cold surface. You get a lightning strike to your senses, the old preservation instinct kicks in, and most of us beat feet to safer climates for our toes....
All of Oklahoma’s 114 game wardens were recently equipped with body-worn cameras to document law enforcement activities. “Body-worn cameras have been under consideration at ODWC for several years,” said Col. Nathan Erdman, chief of law enforcement for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. “After seeing them in action, it is clear that the body cameras are a very effective tool.” The cameras are fully functioning smartphones using a software application from Visual Labs, a California software company. The device can also function...

For Emily Thomer, the natural world has largely been discovered through the lens of technology. She shared images of a cedar waxwing, Carolina wren and a tufted titmouse, along with s...

A tired but jubilant group of students, teachers and parents returned to Alva Thursday night from San Antonio, Texas. The Alva Band of Gold was greeted at the south edge of town by a police escort and a group of fans honking their horns. The band was returning from a performance at the Valero Alamo Bowl where the OU Sooners defeated the Oregon Ducks Wednesday night. Getting to experience the bowl atmosphere was a reward in itself, but the band students, directed by Adam Steuart, had cause to...

Led by Spencer Sanders, Oklahoma State pulled off the biggest comeback in Fiesta Bowl history, overcoming a 21-point deficit to beat No. 5 Notre Dame 37-35 on Saturday. Sanders accounted for 496 yards and threw three of his four touchdown passes to Tay M...

NEW YORK (AP) — Prince Andrew's effort to immediately block the progression of a lawsuit by a woman who says he sexually assaulted her when she was 17 — on the grounds that she no longer lives in the U.S. — was rejected by a federal judge as oral arguments were set to proceed Monday on the prince's request to dismiss the lawsuit. Judge Lewis A. Kaplan, in a written order Friday, told the prince's lawyers they must turn over documents on the schedule that has been set in the lawsuit brought in August by Virginia Giuffre. Giuffre says she was a...
LOVETTSVILLE, Va. (AP) — When Maureen Donnelly Morris came from nearby Leesburg to open her café in Lovettsville, she got a warm welcome. Neighbors rallied to her aid. Divisions ripping at their town and their country were set aside. America's thunderous rage felt distant. They sank posts for her parking signs. They brought solar lights for the cheery space outdoors, sharpened her bagel-slicing blades and contributed plants, all to herald what would become the town's social hub and civil common ground, Back Street Brews. Forget, at least for on...

Williams, a former five-star recruit from Washington, D.C., who was recruited to Oklahoma by then-head coach...
WASHINGTON (AP) — They've interviewed more than 300 witnesses, collected tens of thousands of documents and traveled around the country to talk to election officials who were pressured by Donald Trump. Now, after six months of intense work, the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection is preparing to go public. In the coming months, members of the panel will start to reveal their findings against the backdrop of the former president and his allies' persistent efforts to whitewash the riots and reject suggestions that he helped i...
