Dr. Thomas Sowell has been both a friend and a colleague of mine for over a half-century. On June 30, he will have completed his 90th year of life, and I want to highlight some important features of that life. Sowell was born in Gastonia, North Carolina, in 1930. As part of the great black migration northward during the 1930s and ‘40s, he and his family moved to Harlem, New York. Sowell attended the prestigious Stuyvesant High School but dropped out.

A Kingfisher softball team just wrapped up a season during which it went through league play and three tournaments without a single loss. The Kingfisher Lady Jackets last Saturday thumped Guthrie 12-0 to win the Cimarron Valley League 10U Tournament championship in Guthrie. The win wrapped up a dominant tournament and season in which the Lady Jackets went 19-0. Lily Voth pitched no-hitters for Kingfisher in both the semifinals - a 2-0 victory over Guthrie - and the championship game. Kennedy Stewart’s strong performance in the circle led to a 10-3 victory over Okarche in the quarterfinals. The Lady Jackets also won the KGSA Opening Day Round Robin and the K-Fest Bash 2020 earlier this season. Team members include, from left, Chloe Golbek, Kennedy Stewart, Aislin Barnett, Whitney Ramer, Lily Voth, Ela Hartman, Kendal Farrar, Ryan Scammahorn, Rystan Jerkins, Callie Blair and Maeli Turner. Coaches were, back row, from left, Josh Farrar, Kyle Stewart, Joe Voth and David Blair. [Photo provided]

The Fourth of July is a day packed with emotion for me as it celebrates the founding of our nation and the ideals upon which it was founded: liberty, freedom, justice, fair representation and so much more. This emotion – shared by the entire nation – spills out into expressions of celebration such as parades, patriotism, picnics, fireworks, gatherings of friends and family and so much more. You witness the most outlandish displays of red, white and blue on this day, and I enjoy every bit of it.
