The Alva Airport Commission held a special meeting Thursday to finalize their budget for the next fiscal year beginning July 1. When budget figures were presented at the May 11 meeting, commission members didn’t think revenue estimates were conservative enough. Since Interim Business Manager Angelica Brady wants to have the proposed city budget figures finished early in June, a special meeting was needed. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted fuel sales revenue at the airport with fewer people traveling. Plunging oil prices have also affected the...

GUYMON, Okla./WASHINGTON – (Reuters) – Over 25 years, the massive pork plant that dominates this small city brought jobs, new residents and an economic lifeline to a slowly shrinking farming community. Attracted by relatively good wages at Seaboard Foods, immigrants like Felix and Pilar Jimenez arrived by the hundreds to slaughter hogs and process meat for shipment all over the world. The Mexican couple started work in Guymon, on the vast plains of Oklahoma’s panhandle, about a year after the plant opened, followed in time by their sons Micha...

OKLAHOMA CITY – In response to reports that some Americans are mistakenly discarding stimulus debit cards, Attorney General Mike Hunter Friday urged Oklahomans to not assume the unmarked envelopes containing cards are junk mail. The U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) announced last week the agencies had begun the process of sending nearly 4 million Visa debit cards loaded with the $1,200 stimulus payments to Americans. The debit cards are arriving at households in plain envelopes, leading to confusion and i...
The coronavirus will change school next fall. The Oklahoma State Department of Education has issued a series of guidelines for schools. But will we see a statewide shutdown of schools and shift to distance learning next fall like we did this spring? “I would not anticipate that unless it is necessary for the governor to call another state of emergency,” State Superintendent for Public Instruction Joy Hofmeister said. Local school boards will ultimately be the decision makers. District leaders are scrambling to figure out how exactly to dea...
Northwestern Oklahoma State University officials have announced the university’s intent to resume face-to-face instruction for the fall 2020 semester. “While we have reason to be proud of how we have all adapted to these challenging circumstances, we also realize that the physical campus with its full classrooms is the vital heart of our institution,” said Dr. Janet Cunningham, university president. “We would once again like for our students, faculty and staff to be fully engaged, and for our learning community to offer all course options...

I met a nice lady, Kohannah Hess, at Wal-Mart that said the Goldbug Gulp and Gallop is alive and well again this year. They would like a call at 327-1647, to know how many meals to prepare, but you can get a meal without a call. You can pick up the meals in the circle drive at Washington School between noon and 1 p.m. Please parents, get your children a free meal. This will last into July. Thanks to the volunteers for doing this. She also told me she works with the Salvation Army helping with...

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — As if trips to the grocery store weren't nerve-wracking enough, U.S. shoppers lately have seen the costs of meat, eggs and even potatoes soar as the coronavirus has disrupted processing plants and distribution networks. Overall, the cost of food bought to eat at home skyrocketed by the most in 46 years, and analysts caution that meat prices in particular could remain high as slaughterhouses struggle to maintain production levels while implementing procedures intended to keep workers healthy. While price spikes for s...
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — St. Louis has for years suffered the unwanted distinction of having one of the nation's highest homicide rates, but it's Missouri's other big city that is on pace for perhaps the deadliest year on record. Kansas City police report 68 homicides so far this year, compared to 56 in the same period a year ago. The city ended 2019 with 150 homicides, three shorts of the 1993 record. This year, Kansas City is on pace to top the record, and that doesn't account for the fact that summer months are typically the deadliest. N...
Four-year colleges facing budget shortfalls stemming from the pandemic are approaching an unwelcome milestone: In coming days, the number of eliminated sports programs will almost surely pass 100. Research by The Associated Press found a total of 97 teams eliminated at four-year schools through Friday. The count includes only teams cut with the coronavirus outbreak and its impacts cited as all or part of the reason. Of the 78 teams lost in Divisions II and III and the NAIA, 44 were from three schools that closed at least in part because of...
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — The number of confirmed coronavirus cases in Arkansas has surpassed 7,000 and one additional death is reported due to COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus, the Arkansas Department of Health reported on Saturday. The department said there are now at least 7,013 cases and 133 deaths, up from 6,777 cases and 132 deaths reported Friday. The true number is likely higher because many people have not been tested, and studies suggest people can be infected and not feel sick. For most people, the new coronavirus causes m...
