About 50 years ago, Alva had offices for the phone company, the gas company, the electric company and the cable TV company. Handling issues with billing or service meant a visit to the office or a phone call to talk to a live person. That’s one of the “up” sides of shopping at home. You can talk with someone face to face to solve issues. It’s not quite so easy now that none of those companies have local offices. A phone call results in an automated menu of choices. It may seem impossible to reac...

This time of year is always special. I love the cheerfulness of people even as they dash out to get last-minute presents or food for the family festivities they will enjoy. I love the lights, Christmas parties and parades. Most of all, however, I love the stillness that comes late Christmas Eve or just before Christmas morning. I like to take a moment each Christmas Eve to reflect on the activities of the year and thank God for the many gifts He’s given me. His greatest gift of all, of course, was sending His Son to be born to a young virgin in...

The Woods County Commissioners were faced with a dilemma during their meeting Monday morning. Arden and Nikki Chaffee, representing the Woods County Coalition, asked to place a free book stand on the courthouse square. While the commissioners all voiced their support of the idea, they had some reservations. The Chaffees brought what looked like a large, very attractive birdhouse to the meeting. The white house set off with contrasting roof and shutters in red and blue featured a drop-down side...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Clinton spent the morning of her husband's impeachment visiting Capitol Hill to rally Democrats to his side. Pat Nixon kept assuring reporters her husband wouldn't quit — right up until he did. Eliza Johnson, frail from tuberculosis, kept watch over her husband during his impeachment while sitting in a room across from his White House office. Melania Trump, just the fourth first lady forced to grapple with the threat of her husband's impeachment, is pressing on through the ordeal silently, showing no inclination to spe...
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Congress has recessed for the holidays, and it has gone another year without passing legislation that would boost funding for Route 66. The lack of movement on reauthorizing the Route 66 Corridor Preservation Program means there will be no cost-share grants aimed at reviving old tourist spots in struggling towns where the Mother Road passed through. The program has helped finance projects like rehabilitating parts of the historic Rialto Theatre in Winslow, Arizona, and the Rock Cafe restoration in Stroud, Oklahoma. I...
HUGO, Okla. (AP) — A man who was shot with a stun gun and pepper spray after an altercation with law enforcement outside an Oklahoma convenience store early Monday has died, authorities said. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation said it's looking into the death of Raymond Stapp. The agency said in a news release that Hugo police officers and a Choctaw County sheriff's deputy responding to a report of a shoplifter encountered Stapp, 47, walking away from the store. After Stapp was "combative and resisted arrest," the officers used a s...
CHICKASHA, Okla. (AP) — A former Oklahoma zookeeper who was found guilty on murder-for-hire charges will be sentenced next month. Joe Exotic, whose legal name is Joseph Maldonado-Passage, is being held at the Grady County Jail. He was found guilty in April of plotting to kill a woman in Florida and for violating federal laws intended to protect wildlife, according The Oklahoman. His sentencing is set for Jan. 22. Maldonado-Passage was convicted of federal murder-for-hire charges, falsifying wildlife records and for violating the Endangered Spec...
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt's top adviser on tribal issues announced her resignation on Monday and accused the governor of creating an 'unnecessary conflict' with the tribes over casino gambling. Lisa Billy, a former Republican lawmaker and Stitt's secretary of Native American Affairs, said in her resignation letter that Stitt's position on the compacts poses a threat both to the state's economy and its relationship with the tribes. "You have dismissed advice and facts that show the peril of your chosen approach and have r...
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Voters in seven Oklahoma counties will decide next year whether to allow liquor stores to open on Sundays, in a continued push to expand the state's market for booze. The measure will appear on ballots March 3, or "Super Tuesday" — the day for presidential primary votes in Oklahoma and other states. Voters in 2016 approved changes in statewide liquor laws to allow strong beer and wine to be sold in grocery and convenience stores on Sundays, and to bring Oklahoma in line with other states' laws on alcohol. But those changes...
LEAWOOD, Kan. (AP) — Authorities are looking for a car seen leaving a suburban Kansas City apartment complex where one man was killed and another was wounded. Police in Leawood, Kansas, said Monday they are looking for a dark-colored Dodge Challenger that was spotted at the scene of the Friday night shooting in the parking lot of State Line Apartments. Police said 24-year-old Zachary Morrisey, of Kansas City, was sitting in a vehicle when someone walked up to it and began shooting. A second victim drove them to a medical facility. Morrisey d...
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas' new chief justice plans to push for changes aimed at helping veterans and the mentally ill, and expects to press for a big budget increase from a Republican-controlled Legislature that's likely to remain sharply critical of the state Supreme Court. Chief Justice Marla Luckert became the Kansas court system's top official — and the second woman to hold the job — upon former Chief Justice Lawton Nuss' retirement last week. Her promotion came a day after Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly made her first appointment to the s...
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A judge has invalidated two state permits allowing construction of large hog production operations in northwest Kansas that environmentalists deemed too close to surface water. The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that Shawnee County District Court Judge Richard Anderson ruled earlier this month that the Kansas Department of Health and Environment violated state law. The permits were issued for four operations in Norton and Phillips counties in 2017 and 2018, under Republican Gov. Sam Brownback. The operations were under c...
LINCOLNVILLE, Kan. (AP) — More than three decades after a woman's body was found in a rural area of Kansas, authorities have identified the victim. Michelle Carnall-Burton, 22, of Wichita, Kansas, went missing in 1987. On Monday, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation said DNA testing showed that a previously unidentified murder victim found in 1987 near Lincolnville, Kansas, was Carnall-Burton. The victim was discovered by a Marion County road crew on Sept. 21, 1987, but the remains were too decomposed to identify at the time. KBI officials s...
