It seems as though this picture of the '59 Indians has always been around. The Indians were the Alva Youth Council League and Tournament champions in the summer of 1959. We had ten players. For many years, it hung on the wall of one of the bedrooms at my grandmother's house. Fast forward to the late 1970s, I saw the picture of the '9' Indians near the entrance to a restaurant in 50 Penn Place, and as well on a wall at The Split T restaurant in Oklahoma City. The first Saturday in December is...
When a patient with COVID-19 is brought to a hospital, they are triaged, isolated and put in a negative pressure room (if it's available), where air blows in but can't escape. Depending on the severity of the infection and patient's age, they may end up in a succession of beds. Those beds – intensive care, medical surgery, operating room – are critical parts of a hospital's ability to effectively treat the victims of the coronavirus pandemic, as well as other patients. The bed itself isn't piv...
High school seniors everywhere are coming to terms with their new reality: high school as they once knew it is over. There will be no prom, no graduation ceremony and no other senior traditions, trips, or commemorations. Across Oklahoma, the nation and the world, coronavirus (COVID-19) has sidelined the joy of all these celebrations, yanking from students the milestones usually thought of as rites of passage. This invisible foe has replaced face-to-face socializing with social distancing,...
There are several pieces of good news about face masks. Some of you may remember when everyone had a mask in the windy dusty days before cars were invented. Bandanas were big enough to easily fasten in a way that dust could be filtered from your nose and mouth while the team of horses in front of your wagon stirred up a lot of dirt. Also, a bandana mask was important while robbing banks. But if you loaned a bandana to someone, you did not want it back, not even if it was laundered and hung out in the sun to dry. One of the bits of good news is...
Not so many gatherings this year, but the phone and internet will make it bearable not being able to see family and friends in person. The police and fire departments did a great thing this year. Because the kids could not go to the egg hunt on the square, they brought it to them. If you filled out the survey from Facebook, they brought eggs and scattered them in your yard for your kids to hunt. They had over 300 kids to hide eggs for when I talked to them Wednesday. Thank you for caring so...

TORONTO (AP) — Colby Cave, an excellent teammate whose lone goal for the Edmonton Oilers this season came on an "awesome" rush down the ice, died Saturday after a brain bleed this week. He was 25. The NHL club did not say what caused the bleed. Cave's agent, Jason Davidson, has said the condition did not appear linked to the coronavirus. "Our Colby was loved dearly by us, his family and friends, the entire hockey community, and many more," his family said in a statement. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said Cave's "life and hockey career, t...
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Jeff Attinella is unique in that he's the only MLS goalkeeper who can also say he's a children's book author, a side job that has helped earn him the nickname "Dadtinella" from the Portland Timbers faithful. He's already written five books for kids, and has even launched a publishing company. "I had the idea to write these books because I just love storytelling, in all forms," he said. "It's inspiring when people figure out a way to tell a story in their own unique way, or when people tell the story about how they got wher...
GREELEY, Colo. (AP) — A beef plant in northern Colorado where dozens of employees have tested positive for COVID-19 will be shut down through Tuesday for deep cleaning and to screen additional workers. Andre Nogueira, JBS USA's CEO, said in a statement released Friday that the company is paying more than $1 million for thousands of testing kits for workers at the Greeley plant. He said 36 employees have tested positive for the disease. Weld County's health department said Thursday that concerns at the facility include the proximity of w...
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Police arrested on Friday evening a Kansas man wanted on capital murder charges in the shooting deaths of his girlfriend and her 8-year-old daughter. Daniel Lopez, 25, was arrested without incident at a residence in Wichita after police followed up on a tip that he was at the home of family members, authorities said Saturday in a news release. Sedgwick County authorities charged him on April 3 in the deaths of Mickayla Sorell, 25, and her daughter, Natalya Sorell. They were found dead at their home in Wichita on March 31 a...
LENEXA, Kan. (AP) — Kelsey Erickson had spent nearly a decade working in the mucky world of international anti-doping when she heard that USA Cycling was looking for someone to build and administer a wellness program for riders at all levels. She jumped at the opportunity. And the timing couldn't have been better. After spending the past 10 months crafting and implementing the program, Erickson has used it as the framework to help USA Cycling respond to the global coronavirus pandemic. She has already been in touch with all of the national t...
COVID-19 is a virus identified as the cause of an outbreak of respiratory illness first detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China in 2019 and has since spread globally into a pandemic.

BELLE PLAINE, Kan. (AP) — An attorney for Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly told the state Supreme Court on Saturday that a Republican-dominated legislative panel exceeded its authority when it overturned the Democratic governor's executive order banning religious and funeral services of more than 10 people during the coronavirus pandemic. Lawmakers countered that the language in a resolution they contend gave the panel that authority was a compromise reached with Kelly and was intended as a check on her power at a time when the full Legislature c...
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The Audubon Nature Institute in New Orleans welcomed a new resident, a baby giraffe named Hope. Sue Ellen, a middle-aged giraffe at the Freeport-McMoRan Audubon Species Survival Center, gave birth Monday, according to a Friday news release. Audubon Nature Institute President and CEO Ron Forman said Hope was the perfect name for the calf, especially as New Orleans has been hit hard during the coronavirus pandemic. "What name could be more fitting than 'Hope" in these challenging times?" Forman said. "Hope is what has s...
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The only U.S. Senate seat up for grabs in Oklahoma drew a crowded field of challengers as the state's three-day filing period for political office ended Friday. Four Democrats, three Republicans, two independents and a Libertarian filed this week to challenge Sen. Jim Inhofe for the seat. The Republican incumbent, who has held the seat since 1994, is seeking another six-year term. All five of Oklahoma's U.S. House members drew challengers this cycle, although incumbent Reps. Frank Lucas in western Oklahoma's 3rd District a...
Low-income residents who are sheltering in place will get more money to stay comfortable as temperatures transition to summer heat. The Trump administration released $37 million in home energy assistance funding that was replenished after being diverted to fight the coronavirus. And another $900 million for the federal program is included in the stimulus funding signed into law by President Donald Trump. The $37 million released this week is enough to help about 75,000 low-income families this year, and the $900 million will be enough to help...
WASHINGTON (AP) — For several months, President Donald Trump and his officials have cast a fog of promises meant to reassure a country in the throes of the coronavirus pandemic. Trump and his team haven't delivered on critical ones. They talk numbers. Bewildering numbers about masks on the way. About tests being taken. About ships sailing to the rescue, breathing machines being built, aircraft laden with supplies from abroad, dollars flowing to crippled businesses. Piercing that fog is the reality that Americans are going without the medical s...

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Ivy Tech culinary students who lost training opportunities as schools and restaurants closed amid the coronavirus pandemic have turned to helping a food rescue organization cook and prepare meals from food donated by shuttered eateries. Rather than letting their food inventory go to waste, restaurants, caterers and educational institutions are donating their meat, fruits and vegetables to Cultivate Culinary, a nonprofit devoted to ending the cycle of poverty and hunger. "So many of them, all these institutions, went t...
