When a person thinks of golf courses, one generally thinks of lush green fairways and magnificent trees. But if one happens to be touring the southwest USA between Cimarron and Raton, New Mexico, at the right time, he might consider something with just a little bit different flavor. For if he will slow his car down in the vicinity of the Colfax Tavern in Cold Beer (a place, not a beverage) on the first Saturday in June, and wants play golf on a most unusual links course (one that he can tell his grandchildren about), then this indeed is his luc...
Please be careful with your fun, save some money and take the family to some of the local fireworks shows. We will be in Laughlin, Nevada, on the fourth, so will get to see some new displays if I get the urge to watch. I am not nearly as excited about fireworks as I used to be, so I usually just stay home. I went to the first two nights of the play “Annie Jr.” at Act 1 Wednesday and Thursday. Friday will be the best for me because Jaylyn has a bigger part. As usual, Mrs. Harrison and her hel...

After several days of temperatures hovering around 100 degrees, Alva residents welcomed a forecast including rain. It had been about a month since any significant precipitation amounts fell in the area. Radar images Thursday night showed rainfall to the north, and it seemed it might skip Woods County entirely. However, the storms dropped below the Kansas border and brought more than the welcome rain. Lightning heralded the storm's approach. Those outdoors around midnight were treated to quite a...
The skies around the Alva Regional Airport were much busier Saturday morning, June 17, as the Kinzie family held their fourth fly-in breakfast of the year. A fly-in is an excuse for many pilots to make a cross-country airplane trip to keep their flying skills fresh and get a breakfast at the same time. Typically 35-50 people gather on the third Saturday of the month between March and October for Alva's fly-in breakfast. Many of Alva's pilots attended and arrived by vehicle, including Dale...
STILLWATER, Okla.—A team trying to defend its place at the top is going to have a target on its back. T.W. Beiswanger, an infielder from Alva, helped Red Dirt 18U start its title defense of the Brad Holt Memorial Tournament with a 5-1 win over Stillwater Baseball Club on Thursday night at Couch Park. Beiswanger went 2-for-3 with two doubles and two runs scored.

STILLWATER, Okla.-Former Alva standout Jaden Hobbs had never been to the doctor, aside from getting her wisdom teeth pulled. Now here she was, standing on crutches in Oklahoma State's auxiliary gymnasium in the heart of the Cowgirls' season, unable to run, unable to jump and unable to help her team. Hobbs, one of the state's best prep players of all time, led Alva to three-straight state titles and sits atop the state tournament's list in all-time points scored in a career, a single tournament...
JANESVILLE, Wis. (AP) — Nahla was an extraordinary educator. True, she drooled more than other teachers and often let her tongue just loll out of her mouth, The Janesville Gazette (http://bit.ly/2sSidp2 ) reported. But she also allowed students to lean against her and stroke her ears. Some of them tried to ride on her back, and once a kid performed an impromptu dental inspection on her back molars. She never complained. This month, Nahla the therapy dog will retire from service. Her handler, Kathy White, an assistive technology specialist for t...
PUEBLO, Colo. (AP) — Behind every hunter's first kill there's a story — one that, for most, starts long before they ever set foot in a hunting zone with a shotgun, rifle or bow in-hand. And while every first-tag story is, at the very least, marginally different, for 16,000 hunters who've bagged their first game in southern Colorado over the past 50 years, the story began the same way: sitting either in a classroom or on a firing range, being taught the fundamentals of hunting by volunteer hunter safety education instructor Jose Alvarado. "Ri...
SALISBURY, Md. (AP) — A racial slur by a white student in her middle school classroom might have escaped attention except for one thing: Taylor Dumpson was listening. What she heard helped shape Dumpson's sense of duty to confront hatred and injustices head on and with tact. That experience made a lasting impression on the Wicomico High School graduate that has carried into her college days at American University in Washington, D.C. Dumpson took the helm as president of the student government at the historically white college amid national m...

"We feel like if we can add value to all of t...
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Clubgoers screamed and scrambled for cover as dozens of gunshots rang out during a rap concert in downtown Little Rock early Saturday, leaving 28 people injured from an 11-second melee that police said may be gang-related.
