City Business Manager Joe Don Dunham presented the Alva City Council with a monthly financial report as well as an analysis of the fiscal year ending June 30.

FY2016-2017 revenues were down 17 percent from the preceding year (FY 2015-2016) and 35 percent compared to FY2014-2015. In other w...
Oklahoma is preparing to unveil a $350 million plan designed to reduce health insurance premiums and avert a scenario where the state is left with no provider offering plans on the federally run marketplace. But the effort comes with a catch: The more than 1.7 million Oklahomans who receive health insurance outside of the marketplace, including from employers, would pay more – a per-person fee of up to $60 a year. The fee is part of a federal waiver the state is seeking to begin a reinsurance program through the Affordable Care Act or the G...

In our country we are fortunate to have some of the most innovative and hardworking businesses in the world. Products manufactured in America often surpass the quality and reliability of any competitor worldwide.

I had the great privilege to visit with business leaders from Oklahoma’s very own Ditch Witch as they pre...
Cleo wanted me to go to the tryouts for the movie being shot in Alva, but I probably didn't go. They don't need a bald-headed, toothless old guy unless they are going to shoot “Deliverance 2.” I would fit right in there. The rest of this story is from my friend Floyd “CB” Thompson, a former classmate that lives in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. It probably describes the views of lots of us Boomers. Some thoughts on my mind these days. 1. Wildfires. Is it just me that notices that almost every s...

After Dunham's rather gloomy financial report, Councilmember Mary Hamilton said, "We're having all these activities and we're bringing in these food trucks.

They remit that back to us through the tax commission....
