I was glad to read the article in the Alva Review-Courier: "Masonic Pancake Benefit for AHS" (Nov 15 issue). It is great that the Masons (of which I am a fifth-generation member) are holding a benefit breakfast in which proceeds will help fund Alva students to take a trip to Washington, D.C., to tangibly learn about our nation's history up close and personal. I applaud that. My connections to Alva run deep and, by coincidence, my own school principal in Kansas (where I grew up) was "Mister Mike Zakoura,” as students called him, but his f...
We are on the way to having a go at impeaching “the Donald.” I am not convinced that he has done enough to be impeached. Others have done worse, I am sure. Maybe he should have been censured and then told to be on his best behavior for the rest of his term. That would have saved millions of dollars that are needed elsewhere and still gotten the point across. The first day, according to the Republican analysis, did not have the bang to look credible. So far, it has been like a bunch of 10 yea...
The holiday season is officially here, and Thanksgiving Day is quickly approaching. While many Oklahomans will be preparing holiday meals for their families and friends, the risk of food poisoning is lurking. “Every year in the United States, approximately 48 million people get sick because of some form of foodborne illness,” said Ravi Jadeja, food safety specialist for the Oklahoma State University Robert M. Kerr Food and Agricultural Products Center. “Of those, 128,000 are hospitalized or need medical attention and, unfortunately, 3,000...

LONDON (AP) — Stefanos Tsitsipas kept his nerve in the key moments to beat six-time champion Roger Federer 6-3, 6-4 on Saturday and reach the final of the season-ending ATP Finals. Tsitsipas saved 11 of 12 break points and took advantage of an error-filled performance from Federer, who continually put his opponent under pressure only to come up short when it mattered. The Greek player next faces defending champion Alexander Zverev or Dominic Thiem. Tsitsipas, who is making his first appearance at the event, saved all six break points he faced i...

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Many students entering college haven’t mastered basic life skills such as changing a tire or balancing a checkbook, so some universities are responding with noncredit workshops sometimes called “Adulting 101.” Kansas State University in Manhattan offers a series that teaches practical skills. Wichita State University has offered a workshop on budgeting, the University of Nebraska-Kearney taught a tax preparation workshop and a University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill workshop focused on building credit, The Kansas...
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — People with severe but stable heart disease from clogged arteries may have less chest pain if they get a procedure to improve blood flow rather than just giving medicines a chance to help, but it won't cut their risk of having a heart attack or dying over the following few years, a big federally funded study found. The results challenge medical dogma and call into question some of the most common practices in heart care. They are the strongest evidence yet that tens of thousands of costly stent procedures and bypass o...
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A pair of veterans is trying to bring a World War II submarine to Louisville. The Courier Journal reports, Mark Gatton got the idea when he learned that the USS Ling was going to be scrapped in New Jersey. The Air Force veteran, with his friend Army veteran Lewis Palmer are raising funds to restore the submarine, with the ultimate goal of docking it on the Ohio River. They hope it will one day form the centerpiece of a World War II-focused Louisville Naval Museum. The decidedly non-coastal city might seem like a s...
