We were saddened at the newspaper to learn of the passing of Jewel LeDou. I first knew Jewel as a police dispatcher. After her retirement, she was quite active in the Woods County Senior Citizens in Alva, serving for a long time as their president. Jewel was also an employee of the Newsgram for a time. In 2008 we were having difficulty finding reliable people to work on Tuesday nights getting the Newsgram ready for distribution and mailing. It seemed that some college students and other young...

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Archaeologists resumed searching a Tulsa cemetery on Tuesday but found no signs of human remains from victims of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, state Archaeologist Kary Stackelbeck said.

Hour after hour in the dark, Chander Shekhar's mind raced ahead to morning. More than three months had dragged by since the coronavirus forced Shekhar to shut down his business — a narrow, second-floor shop racked with vibrantly colored saris, on a block in New York's Jackson Heights neighborhood once thronged with South Asian immigrant shoppers. Today, finally, he and other merchants were allowed to reopen their doors. But they were returning to an area where COVID-19 had killed hundreds, leaving sidewalks desolate and storefronts to gather d...
WASHINGTON (AP) — Presidential adviser Ivanka Trump on Tuesday unveiled a White House-backed national ad campaign highlighting alternative ways to start a career, an initiative targeting students, mid-career workers and the millions who are now unemployed because of the coronavirus. Called "Find Something New," the campaign is backed by Apple Inc. and IBM Corp. It was quickly bashed on social media as being tone deaf and inadequate for the times. The Trump administration has long emphasized skills-based job and vocational training as an a...
