We had been traveling non-stop for three straight weeks. It had been one different bed after another – and Renie is simply not someone who deals well with that scenario. Even though the work trip had also afforded us a fun chance to visit some cousins who live in the areas where we had gone, it still meant days of driving for long hours, eating at restaurants and fast-food chains, and attempting to catch a nap while the other one drove. And after arriving, often we still had to set up e...
My office has been getting calls and emails from folks who are concerned about whether Covid-19 vaccines are going to be required in order for children to attend school in Oklahoma. The answer is absolutely not. There’s been some confusion because the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently decided to recommend the vaccines, but they do not have the power to make them mandatory. It’s simply a recommendation, just like they recommend getting flu shots each year. Beyond that, the Legislature passed a bill in 2021 that makes it i...
It was a bit nippy, but I bet there were no complaints from the young participants. I guess I underestimated my son Justin's power. He would be one vote if he were on the council, yet the mayor is worried about him somehow abusing his power to get the city marshal a raise and get his brother a better truck to drive. What a crock! Does this logic mean if Justin had or does win an election for a council seat, he will be declared ineligible to serve because of his family? There have been conflicts...

Only four teams make it to the district football playoffs in Alva's Class 2A-1.

The loss put Alva in a tie with Perry for a fifth place ranking. After Friday night, the top four spots are now held by Millwood, OCS,...

Waiting for the Town Hall start time, Congressman Frank Lucas chatted with people as they arrived in the Ranger Room on the campus of Northwestern Oklahoma State University in Alva.

The Broken Arrow Police Department on Sunday identified the two adults as Brian and Brittney Nelson but provided no new information on whether both adults were i...
A plan to search for unmarked graves at a former Native American boarding school in Kansas is on hold amid a disagreement between a Shawnee Tribe and state and city officials overseeing the site. The Kansas Historical Society announced last year that the Kansas Geological Survey at the University of Kansas would conduct a ground-penetrating radar survey at the Shawnee Indian Mission in Fairway. However, Fairway officials last week said the proposal was on hold indefinitely after Shawnee Tribe Chief Ben Barnes raised concerns that the tribe was...
