Last week my knee hurt and I couldn't walk. I got a shot that helped it some. Friday evening, I started to hurt in my lower back. The pain grew, so Saturday I went to the ER. After several tests it was determined I had a kidney stone. I had one a few years ago, and it wasn't the most fun I ever had. The doctor sent me home and said lots of fluids and it probably would pass. I had some Anacin and low-grade pain pills. They were some help, but if you want to have sympathy pains for me, have someon...

The board’s refusal followed a string of emotional pleas from community and district leaders in Tulsa and Mustang that revealed the toll the board’s action has taken on their schools. On July 28, both districts were accredited with warning for violating the provisions of House Bill 1775. “People move to Mustang because of the schools. My family moved...

Robyn Landis has only been living in Alva for a week, and she's traveled a winding road to be here. Her new restaurant, Chubby Dave's, held its ribbon-cutting Aug. 18. "I was originally in a building in Freedom, but the building needed so much money to repair" that she decided it would not be cost-effective. "Then I tried it in Waynoka, and the rent fell through. Then this place came open and here I am," Landis said with good humor. Before all this began, Landis had a small-town cafe in Kansas,...

WASHINGTON (AP) — A newly released FBI document helps flesh out the contours of an investigation into classified documents at President Donald Trump's Florida estate. But plenty of questions remain, especially because half the affidavit, which spelled out the FBI's rationale for searching the property, was blacked out. A Justice Department official has described the inquiry as in its early stages, suggesting more work is ahead as investigators review the documents they removed and continue interviewing witnesses. At a minimum, the investigation...
WASHINGTON (AP) — Roland Mesnier, who created often-magical desserts for five presidents and their guests as White House executive pastry chef, has died at age 78. His death was confirmed Saturday by the White House Historical Association, which said he died Friday following a short illness.

Answering questions in an online "Ask the White House" forum in 2004, he explained that in p...
COLUMBUS, Ga. (AP) — Four years ago, Georgia Democrats had a contested primary for governor because the party's old guard didn't believe in Stacey Abrams. She routed their alternative and, in a close general election loss, established herself as de facto party boss in a newfound battleground state. That previewed 2020, when Joe Biden put Georgia in Democrats' presidential column for the first time in 28 years, and Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff captured Senate seats soon after to give Democrats control on Capitol Hill. Now Abrams and Warnock t...
RAYONG, Thailand (AP) — The Irrawaddy dolphin calf — sick and too weak to swim — was drowning in a tidal pool on Thailand's shore when fishermen found him. The fishermen quickly alerted marine conservationists, who advised them how to provide emergency care until a rescue team could transport the baby to Thailand's Marine and Coastal Resources Research and Development Center for veterinary attention. The baby was nicknamed Paradon, roughly translated as "brotherly burden," because those involved knew from day one that saving his life would...
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Kneeling in a patch of yellow wildflowers, a Chechen soldier carefully attaches an explosive device to the bottom of a small drone. Seconds later, it is released. It explodes next to two old storefront mannequins set up 200 meters (yards) away, one with a Russian-style military hat on its head. After this and other training outside the Ukrainian capital, the Chechen soldiers, in assorted camouflage footwear and protective gear, will be heading to the front lines in Ukraine, vowing to continue the fight against Russia t...
