Jack Fisher and Richard Ryerson have been members of the Alva Kiwanis for 59 years. The Kiwanis do a lot of good in the community. I never got to be a member because I couldn't master the secret handshake.

The Oklahoma legislators have gotten a $12,000 raise (35%). True, this is their first raise in 20 years, but you need to give something to the people in return and frankly, they haven't shown me any need for a raise yet. Two years ago their salaries were cut 9% because of a lack of faith in their skills. How many of you think they are doing a 35% better job today? Silly rabbits! What a gig!...
