While out walking we met, greeted, and walked on past a lady who suddenly tripped over the little dog scampering at her feet ... causing her to fall face first on the hard street surface. Hearing the commotion, we quickly returned to find her obviously in pain from landing on her shoulder. It was very evident that she could not be moved safely, so someone from the now-gathered bystanders called 911. When the firemen and EMTs with their ambulance arrived, and after assessing the immediate...

Nowhere is this power more daunting than in the social media giants' use of news organizations' reporting, which the pla...

"We've been doing that for a long, long time," Rod Ford, 77, said. "We've had a lot of fun, and most times were good. Maybe a few times weren't, but that's life."

The runway lights at the Alva Regional Airport are out again, presenting a safety issue for aircraft. The lack of lights means no air ambulance fixed-wing aircraft can make landings for medical transport after dark. There’s also a financial impact, preventing travelers from landing at night to buy fuel. The lights were out earlier this year, but electricians were able to restore power to one section, enough to allow night landings for aircraft. The Alva Airport Commission has been anticipating a more permanent fix for all the lighting in a f...
