Most towns are having celebrations all day. Dacoma will have the July 3rd evening show. There is plenty to do in Alva all day on the 4th, so get the kids out and have a great day. I will probably spend the evening with Cleo and not travel to any celebrations. After 50 years of them, they all begin to look suspiciously alike. Anyhow, good luck and best wishes for a good time. Again, thanks to all that make the 4th of July special for the rest of us. Parents, please take a minute and explain to th...
As some of you may be aware, I hauled hay for a living as a young man. One of the major problems I encountered was finding good and dependable help. Further complicating this was the fact that when I started at 16 years old, I wanted to work with people that I liked and considered to be my friends. I was very quiet and introverted, and I couldn’t imagine being in the hot sun, working hard all day with someone I didn’t know and/or like. However, because hauling hay was hard work, and my fri...
Our country, home sweet home, the United States of America since 1776 – to we citizens, it is the best country in the world. At least, to the citizens who still believe in the values of our great, great, great grandparents’ ancestors who started this country years ago. Values like loving and following our Creator, working hard and loving even harder, being independent enough to provide for ourselves, and compassionate enough to diligently care for others and making the wellbeing of our nei...
If any individual member of an American Indian tribe wants to ignore the speed limit in Tulsa—say, by driving 100 miles-per-hour through a school zone—that individual can do so without fear of facing a ticket or charges by city police under a new ruling issued by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit. The case centers on Justin Hooper, who was issued a $150 traffic citation by the City of Tulsa on Aug. 13, 2018. Despite initially paying the fine, Hooper later claimed he was exempt from city enforcement of its traffic laws because he...

In addition, three non-certified staff members... Full story
Alva School Superintendent Tim Argo says he was too optimistic when he told the school board the HVAC project in the gyms would be completed by July 1. The expected completion date has now been moved to July 31. The project will add air conditioning to both the old gym and the newer one. This will open the opportunity for summer use of the gym, and possibly graduation ceremonies with more seating than is available in the high school auditorium. Argo said the new HVAC units for the project were... Full story

NEW YORK (AP) — Hungry ticks have some slick tricks. They can zoom through the air using static electricity to latch onto people, pets and other animals, new research shows. Humans and animals naturally pick up static charges as they go about their days. And those charges are enough to give ticks a boost to their next blood meal, according to a study published Friday in the journal Current Biology. While the distance is tiny, "it's the equivalent of us jumping three or four flights of stairs in one go," said study author Sam England, an e...
BALTIMORE (AP) — Gunfire erupted at a block party in Baltimore on Sunday — killing two people, wounding 28 and leaving an extensive crime scene that marred the U.S. holiday weekend, police said.

The shooting took place just after 12:30 a.m. at a block party in the Brooklyn Homes area in the southern part of the city, Worley said. The shooting com...
CHICAGO (AP) — As Republicans keep jumping into the 2024 race for president, one demographic group seems notably lacking: women. More than a dozen candidates are seeking the nomination, including several long shots who announced their bids in recent weeks, in what is the party's most diverse presidential field ever. Yet Nikki Haley, a former U.N. ambassador and South Carolina governor, is the only woman in the bunch. America has never had a female commander in chief and Republicans historically have focused less on electing female candidates i...
WASHINGTON (AP) — Through history, the Fourth of July has been a day for some presidents to declare their independence from the public. They've bailed to the beach, the mountains, the golf course, the farm, the ranch. In the middle of the Depression, Franklin Roosevelt was sailing to Hawaii on a fishing and working vacation. It's also been a day for some presidents to insert themselves front and center in the fabric of it all. Teddy Roosevelt drew hundreds of thousands for his July Fourth oratory. In 2019, Donald Trump marshaled tanks, bombers...
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Moms for Liberty, a "parental rights" group that has sought to take over school boards in multiple states, is looking to expand those efforts across the country and to other education posts in 2024 and beyond. The effort is setting up a clash with teachers unions and others on the left who view the group as a toxic presence in public schools. The group's co-founder, Tiffany Justice, said during its annual summit over the weekend in Philadelphia that Moms for Liberty will use its political action committee next year to engage...
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — After a relative lull, Russia launched a drone attack early Sunday on Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, officials said. It was the first such attack of the war in 12 days. All of the Iranian-made Shahed exploding drones were detected and shot down, according to Serhii Popko, the head of the Kyiv city administration. In addition to the city itself, the surrounding Kyiv region was targeted. Kyiv regional Gov. Ruslan Kravchenko reported that one person was wounded by falling debris from a destroyed drone. Officials in the Ukrainian cap...
An enormous medical bill can trigger a wave of panic, but try to resist. That startling invoice that arrived in the mail may not be what you wind up paying. Errors or slow insurance payments may have inflated the total. Even if it's accurate, financial aid or other assistance might help pare it. Sometimes a simple phone call clears up a problem. Other times, reinforcements are necessary. Debt experts say patients should attack medical bills with a plan. Here are key steps to take. CHECK THE NUMBERS Don't stash the bill in a pile of mail and...
ST. LOUIS (AP) — The Fourth of July is Americana at its core: parades and cookouts and cold beer and, of course, fireworks. Those pyrotechnics also make it an especially dangerous holiday, typically resulting in more than 10,000 trips to the emergency room. Yet fireworks remain at the center of Independence Day, a holiday 247 years in the making. Here are five things to know about July Fourth, including the origin of the holiday and how fireworks became part of the tradition. WHAT'S THE ORIGIN OF INDEPENDENCE DAY? The holiday celebrates the S...
