An Evening With Midori

"Many soloists today have masterly technique, but few conjure such searing intensity seemingly out of nowhere...a supremely well-made instrument was being played at the very edge of its envelope." --New York Times

Commissioner Advises Insurers to Delay Non-renewals

OKLAHOMA CITY – Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner John D. Doak has issued a bulletin to all Oklahoma-licensed property and casualty insurers and insurance producers, advising them to keep customers on their current policies for at least 60 days after the completion of repairs.

The move should give the policyholders enough time to make repairs and obtain coverage from another insurer.

“As a result of the devastating tornado outbreak, thousands of Oklahomans have filed property claims,” said Doak. “Because of that, insurers are now reassessing risks and issuing non-renewal notices. Due to the backlog of work that contractors and repair shops are currently experiencing, many repairs won’t be completed before the policy expires. That results in open and pending claims that prevent the policyholder from obtaining replacement coverage. We want to prevent that.”

EMSA issues first heat alert of the summer

OKLAHOMA CITY– After a whirlwind of a spring, officials say we are now feeling the effects of summer.

Officials with EMSA say they have received six heat-related emergencies as of 3 p.m. Thursday.

Those emergencies included heat cramps, heat exhaustion and dehydration.

Due to that number, EMSA has issued its first heat alert of the summer.

Authorities say everyone should use extreme caution when outside since temperatures are expected to make it hot and humid.

Experts say you should always pre-hydrate and drink plenty of water before being exposed to the summer heat.

Also, wear light-colored, loose-fitting clothing and a wide-brimmed hat if working outdoors and take plenty of shade breaks.

Some of the symptoms of a heat illness include:

“Worm”

OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA — The film is called ‘Worm’.

As in most small budget movies the director, Andrew Bowser, is also the star.

Now there are two really amazing aspects to this full length motion picture.

The first, in more than 90 minutes of running time, there is only one, cleverly concealed, video edit.

The second, it was all shot with one camera angle, with a miniature Go-Pro camera attached to the actor.

“We were trying to figure out what to shoot this on,” admits Producer Ian Woods who was in on the planning stages of ‘Worm’.

Woods also gets credits as actor and crew member on this film.

Also, “sound guy, I mean I wore like ten different hats in this movie.”

He’s an Edmond North graduate.

‘Worm’ shot over Labor Day weekend, 2012.

FEMA updates resources for storm victims

OKLAHOMA CITY– When sifting through debris after a natural disaster, there are a few things that can be confusing.

FEMA officials want to clear those lingering questions.

First, survivors who are approved to receive disaster assistance funds don’t have to wait for a check to come in the mail.

People who have bank accounts can choose to have the funds deposited electronically, but it may require one more step when registering.

Specialists are available at disaster recovery centers to help victims with electronic funds transfer and other steps in the process of filing claims.

Those disaster recovery centers are found at the following locations:

How to protect yourself from unlicensed contractors

OKLAHOMA CITY–In the last few weeks, we’ve heard of scam artists and looters targeting storm damaged areas.

Authorities say they’ve already spotted unlicensed contractors in the tornado zones, trying to take advantage of storm victims.

Okla. Rep. Joe Dorman says anyone rebuilding his or her home or other property needs to ask the contractor for a construction lien release.

The document indicates the contractor has been paid in full for the project, which also restores the clear title to the property owner.

In other words, it gives the homeowner proof that the contractor no longer has a claim on the property.
Dorman recommends getting the paperwork when the project is finished, but before you hand over the final check.

Obama administration to comply with Plan B for all ages

The Obama Administration plans to comply with a court order to allow over-the-counter emergency contraceptive sales to women and girls of all ages.

This is according to documents filed late Monday night.

While the department of justice initially appealed, it has now asked a federal judge to withdraw that challenge, provided he approves the federal government’s plan for compliance.
