Will the Alva Municipal Swimming Pool be open for the Memorial Day weekend as usual? Alva Business Manager Joe Don Dunham said the answer is a question mark. He reported the new circulation pump for the pool arrived Monday, May 21, and was being installed. After that it takes three to five days to fill the pool with water. Then time is needed to get the chemicals at the proper balance. A message posted on the city website says the target date to open the pool is Memorial Day, May 28. However, if the PH balance is not at safe levels, the pool...

Some celebrities are very personable and approachable. One of the best at accommodating autograph hounds was “the King” of golf, Arnold Palmer. Unfortunately, he passed from this life a short while ago in 2016. During his playing days, Palmer was famous for staying for hours after a tiring day of tournament golf, making a monumental effort to give his autograph to every fan who wanted one. He did his best to make each signature appear legible, and as close to his other signatures as possible. If you happen to see one of his (alleged) signatures...
