Tuesday, March 28, at the Northwest Technology Center, the Democrat Party is hosting a meet and greet at 6 p.m. Much like a true politician, I have my campaign promises ready. Or maybe I should just c...

It began with the NIT and Oklahoma State getting a win. The big dance officially began Thursday evening. This is about the only time I watch any basketball, and then not a lot. Both K State and Kansas...

The no people came out in droves to soundly defeat recreational marijuana being legalized. I actually thought it would pass by the margin it was defeated by. Probably a lot of the no votes came from...

I have mixed emotions about recreational marijuana. It will bring millions of dollars of tax money to the state. If the money was used to care for drug-related problems, homeless people, the...

Husband: "What's for dinner?" Wife: "Nothing." Husband: "We had nothing last night." Wife: "I know. I made enough for two days." Cleo has been in the hospital this last week. She is doing lots better...

The title refers to a cool '60s song relevant still today. There are always plenty of political, garage sale, lost pet, and sell your house or car signs around. I saw the first political sign in Alva...

May your day be filled with romantic thoughts, candy and flowers. Valentine’s Day was created by two businessmen with too much candy and flowers in stock. Go, Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl. I...

At least that's what the groundhog Punxsutawney Phil predicted Wednesday. Think about it a minute. We have millions of dollars of sophisticated weather equipment, and it comes down to a chubby rodent....

Next week is the filing period, Feb. 6-8, for the mayor city treasurer, city marshal, and four council seats in Alva. At least one person has announced his intention to run for mayor. Great! I hope...

A snail returned home all beat up. The other snails asked what happened and he told them two turtles beat him up. “We'll take care of them for you!” replied the snail family. “What did they look...

This is from Oklahoma City: Senate Bill 201 was filed Monday and, if passed, would require municipal inspections of homeless camps. The bill says that camps must be up to building codes, and if not,...

I have test driven 2023 and am ready for it to be over. I already have lost two friends, had Cleo at the emergency room, and still cannot see out of my eye. Along with some other minor calamities,...

It seems like every year I wish for a better year than the one we are leaving. In reality one year is about like the others. There is less faith in God, sickness, friends and family members that pass...

If you have nowhere to eat or are alone and need fellowship, go to 818 Diner, at 818 Okla. Boulevard, from 11a.m. to 1 p.m. today for a good and free meal. You don't need a reservation, just an appeti...

I hope you and yours had a good holiday this year. Last Sunday we had ham and fixings with the family. Today Justin is fixing “beef wellington” and more fixings. The more important side of these gat...

If I can last to Dec. 7, the Medicare ads should end. I wonder how desperate for money or recognition Jimmy Walker, William Shatner or Joe Namath are to do the Medicare ads? Well, the Houston Astros...

I like the extra hour of sleep but hate working until dark. Next spring let's just move the time 1/2 hour and then leave it. Don't forget to vote Tuesday. As usual we have politicians long on...
