SUMMARY: Oklahoma State Representative Ty Burns pleaded guilty to domestic assault and battery after admitting to violent behavior toward his wife, teen daughter, and a female relative. Court documents revealed Burns verbally abused and physically harmed his wife, tried to gouge her eye, and forced the family’s van off the road, injuring his daughter and the relative. Despite the severity, Burns only stepped down from his committee chair but remains in office. Governor Stitt and House Democrats have called on him to resign, emphasizing the seriousness of domestic violence and the higher standards expected from public officials. Burns attributed his actions to PTSD and agreed to counseling.

SUMMARY: In Oklahoma, Herb lost his wife, Gale, to early-onset Alzheimer’s after 13 years of caregiving. Gale was a wife, mother, and speech pathologist diagnosed at 52. Herb retired from the oil and gas industry to care for her and now volunteers for the Alzheimer’s Association Oklahoma Chapter, leading six support groups and giving speeches nationwide to help overwhelmed caregivers—services all free. His dedication earned him a Pay It Forward award from First Fidelity Bank. Herb also found love with Terry, another volunteer and caregiver who lost her husband to Alzheimer’s. Their work supports caregivers, who often suffer deeply alongside patients.
