School has started this last week. Excited children don't always pay as good attention as they should, so it is up to us drivers to keep them safe. The people have spoken in resounding fashion to the vote on the pool, 689 (no) to 303 (yes). I bet most of the no votes were in favor of a pool, but the people needed more clarity on costs and financing. The 303 votes were a vote of confidence that they had faith in the judgment of our elected officials. Let me thank Daniel Winters, his committee,...

"One bite at a time. "I received that advice from a fellow coach early in my career, and it is important advice for anyone. How many of us have felt overwhelmed by work- or h...
The Alva sign on the west side of the downtown square is getting second looks these days. The sign has received a major facelift through the work of the Alva Mural Society. Shaped like the state of Oklahoma, the sign used to feature moveable lettering to promote upcoming events in Alva. Since it is made of wood, it has required frequent painting. A few years ago the sign was updated to incorporate an electronic signboard that could be changed remotely to list events. Over the years, the...

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Jalen Hurts has had all the answers since transferring from Alabama in January. One question had the new Oklahoma quarterback stumped. When asked what he does besides football and studying, he paused. "Um. I don't know," he said. Football and studying, that pretty much it? "Yeah." Hurts finally said he calls his friends and writes his thoughts down. But there isn't a lot of free time when you are trying to master coach Lincoln Riley's dynamic offense. "My deal is taking in as much as I can so I can be the best player, t...
CASPER, Wyo. (AP) — Farmers in Wyoming and Nebraska affected by an irrigation tunnel collapse are losing hope their crops will be salvageable.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas education officials are expressing concern that many motorists are ignoring a state law that requires them to stop when approaching a stopped school bus that is loading or unloading children.

The survey included only three-fourths of the state's school districts so the number of violations is likely higher. Education officials are expected to make recommendations during t...
STILWELL, Kan. (AP) — A suburban Kansas City, Kansas, lawyer and his wife are suing to try to keep from having to vaccinate their 4-year-old son. The Kansas City Star reports it's the second time Linus and Terri Baker, of Stilwell, have sued over the issue. They sued the Kansas Department of Children and Families after the agency in 2017 said it would vaccinate the boy against their wishes. That never happened, even though a judge dismissed the suit. The Bakers say they are worried vaccines could affect the health of the boy, who was born w...
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Court of Appeals ruled on Friday that the state does not have the right to withhold ordinary public records just because they become part of a criminal investigation.

The lawsuit was brought by WTVF-TV reporter Phil Williams, who was investigating reports of an affair between two state officials that may have involved the use of public funds. He requested r...
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is warning of an economic crash if he loses reelection, arguing that even voters who personally dislike him should base their ballots on the nation's strong growth and low unemployment rate.

The financial markets signaled the possibility of a U.S. recession this week, sending a jolt of anxiety to investors, companies and consumers. That's on top of concerns over Trump's plans to impose punishing t...

Officials say the 11% increase is expected to be used toward teacher salary increases, education spending, highway repairs and construction.
