Kids, even the adult versions, display the effects of the greatest influences in life … their parents. It can show up in being a mirror image of a parent, becoming similar in actions and reactions. Or it can have the opposite effect. Sometimes, a person may decide that mom or dad’s life was not one they want to mimic, and they deliberately turn the other way. But either way, parents have an enormous influence on their adult child. And parents need to realize that fact. While substituting for...

Under current law, adults who are being stalked or harassed by their abuser can obtain a...

I saw the first political sign in Alva a few days ago. Kelly Parker is wasting no time getting his aspirations out for all to see. He has an advantage against Taylor Dowling, because he has signs left over from his last election. In small-town America people get their friends to put vote for me signs in their yards. Because of not...

Alva Airport Commission members say they generally get positive feedback about the Alva Regional Airport. However, they do hear complaints about the fueling system.

The airport is in an area with marginal internet so the signal is lost, and the card reader is erratic. Monday night commission members looked at a proposal for an upgrade to the FuelMaster system that would...
