Beginning with proper soil pre...
STILLWATER, Okla. – Oklahomans may not need snow boots and parkas anytime soon, but they still should make plans to move patio plants indoors before Old Man Winter arrives. Bright sunshine and warm temperatures are great for plants during the summer months. However those wonderful tropical patio additions will not last long as temperatures drop, said David Hillock, Oklahoma State University Extension consumer horticulturist. “Once we begin experiencing nighttime temperatures in the 50s, gardeners should begin the transition process,” Hillo...

Declaring a property dilapidated is a lengthy process of inspecting the premises, notifying the owner to remediate the problems, then notifying again if there’s no contact or progress on fixing the property issues. Eventually the owner is notified of a public hearing and a notice is also published in the paper. All of that process was completed on five Alva properties, but a final step was missed. City Business Manager Angelica Brady said due to an oversight, the public hearing was not listed on the Alva City Council agenda for the Monday, S...
In a message to parents Friday, Alva school Superintendent Tim Argo said in-person classes will continue despite Woods County entering the red level on the state map. It appears he is referring to the map posted by the Oklahoma State School Boards Association (OSSBA) Friday that shows Woods, Alfalfa and Woodward counties as being among the nine red counties. That indicates greater than 50 cases in a population of 100,000. The OSSBA map shows levels of green, yellow, orange 1, orange 2 and red. “Although this is concerning, I don’t believe at...
The Alva Recreation Complex (ARC) Board held a special meeting Wednesday, Sept. 23, to consider bid specifications for roof replacement on the Pete and Ruth Leslie Fieldhouse. Soon after being completed, the fieldhouse has suffered leaks and damage. Repairs have been made, but nothing has completely solved the problems. Wednesday, City Business Manager Angelica Brady said insurance will cover roof damage, allowing for replacement with the same type of roof. The ARC would just have to pay the $2,500 deductible. But with their past experiences,...

The Census is taken every 10 years, and the results will inform how trillions of dollars are allocated to programs like Medicare, Head Start and various foster care and adoption programs. With the Sept. 30 deadline quickly approaching, Oklahoma still lags behind other states in regards to overall Census response. To raise awareness of the importance of completing the Cen...
When Antonio Lucio arrived at the Northeast Oklahoma Correctional Center in Vinita last month, he saw an environment where the coronavirus could spread quickly.

Several years ago, Andy developed a “hitch-in-his-get-along,” as his mom used to call it. Back when he was playing racquetball on a regular basis, while competing in a heated game he had run full speed into the concrete sidewall with his shoulder. Weeks later, the pain from that close encounter still hadn’t left and finally drove him to his doctor. The doctor’s examination involved the necessary moving and rotating of Andy’s arm to find out exactly what had happened internally. As Doc would lif...
When the coronavirus pandemic was raging around the world, everyone felt grateful for healthcare workers. Although COVID-19 is still a concern, we’ve settled into a calmer time. We probably don’t think nearly as often about healthcare unless we need help. But now is the time when healthcare workers in Woods County need our support. Now emergency medical services (EMS), the front line of health care, need our help. In our county, the ambulance services are operated by three cities: Alva, Fre...
I try not to dwell every week about COVID-19, elections and the Boy Scouts' problems because I am sure you are already getting all you can stand on the news. A legislator has proposed legislation to stiffen up penalties for rioters and looters. He also wants to make rioters responsible for damages. Seems like a plan to me. Another legislator said it was going to cause protesters to have second thoughts about protesting. He also said it was an infringement on freedom of speech. This Black...

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — A Kansas State squad that lost its opener to Arkansas State two weeks ago, had its roster depleted by COVID-19, and entered Saturday's game against No. 3 Oklahoma as a four-touchdown underdog overcame it all to pull off one of the biggest stunners of the season. Skylar Thompson passed for 334 yards and ran for three touchdowns, and the Wildcats rallied from 21 points down to beat the third-ranked Sooners 38-35, a 50-yard field goal by Blake Lynch with 4:32 remaining providing the margin of victory.

CARLSBAD, N.M. (AP) — An American energy investment company has pledged $8.5 million to develop oil and gas assets in the Permian Basin that are owned by Shell Oil Co.

With a total development cost of about $24 million, the project will target part o...
