I apologize for not having a column last week. I was under the weather, and not rainy weather. Although many areas of the state have received rain, I have been continually monitoring the drought conditions in our area. With little to no rain, our producers are being put in incredibly difficult situations. Wheat crops are currently being hit the hardest, with much of Oklahoma’s crop being in poor condition. If you are still in need of drought assistance, I recommend reaching out to the O...
Every week the news seems to report another mass killing either by guns or other means in the U.S. I recently read a Time magazine article about the decline in life expectancy in the U.S., the greatest decline in the past 40 years. Currently U.S. life expectancy is at 76 years, a decline of almost two years. States in the Deep South have lower life expectancies than those in the north. There are many factors in this change including poverty, access to medical care, drug overdoses and gun...

Calculators have been around since 2000 BC, originating among the Sumerians and Egyptians. Called an abacus, it used beads on rods to add and subtract. The beads resembled beans, hence the label “bean counter,” sometimes assigned to financial officers. Mechanical calculators appeared in the 17th century when logarithms were developed by Edward Gunter and others. Slide rules, linear and round, were developed and famously accompanied Apollo moon missions. The 19th century Ada Lovelace described ho...
After hearing a presentation from Kimley-Horn about services they could provide for an artificial turf project, last week the Alva Parks and Recreation Board rejected a proposed agreement to provide design build bid services for $70,000. At last week’s meeting, Mayor Kelly Parker suggested a less expensive option, but that wasn’t on the agenda. Kimley-Horn is the architectural and engineering firm that is currently working on the Hatfield Park master plan for Alva. They also have worked with the city on designing the replacement of the swi...
A dozen poor countries are facing economic instability and even collapse under the weight of hundreds of billions of dollars in foreign loans, much of them from the world's biggest and most unforgiving government lender, China. An Associated Press analysis of a dozen countries most indebted to China — including Pakistan, Kenya, Zambia, Laos and Mongolia — found paying back that debt is consuming an ever-greater amount of the tax revenue needed to keep schools open, provide electricity and pay for food and fuel. And it's draining foreign cur...
MCALLEN, Texas (AP) — A little girl from Panama born with heart problems died in Border Patrol custody Wednesday, the second death of a child from Latin America in U.S. government custody in two weeks. The 8-year-old girl and her family were being held in Harlingen, Texas, in the Rio Grande Valley, one of the busiest corridors for migrant crossings, the Border Patrol's parent agency, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, said. The agency has struggled with overcrowding at its facilities, spurred by a large increase in migrants ahead of the expira...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Climate change 's hotter temperatures and society's diversion of water have been shrinking the world's lakes by trillions of gallons of water a year since the early 1990s, a new study finds. A close examination of nearly 2,000 of the world's largest lakes found they are losing about 5.7 trillion gallons (21.5 trillion liters) a year. That means from 1992 to 2020, the world lost the equivalent of 17 Lake Meads, America's largest reservoir, in Nevada. It's also roughly equal to how much water the United States used in an e...

Among those in attendance were Disney chief Bob Iger, Lucasfilm's Kathleen Kennedy and f...
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Thursday sided with Google, Twitter and Facebook in lawsuits seeking to hold them liable for terrorist attacks. But the justices sidestepped the big issue hovering over the cases, the federal law that shields social media companies from being sued over content posted by others. The justices unanimously rejected a lawsuit alleging that the companies allowed their platforms to be used to aid and abet an attack at a Turkish nightclub that killed 39 people in 2017. In the case of an American college student w...
