After the storm: Stillwater digs out • Area schools, some businesses remain closed; Residents brave hazardous road conditions Stillwater NewsPress

The Blizzard of 2011 has moved on but its aftermath is still disrupting Stillwater lives. After the snowstorm, high winds drifted snow and caused problems throughout the city. Schools and some businesses remained closed today as snow drifts continued to build throughout Tuesday evening. About 8 inches of snow fell in Stillwater, but snow drifts are making it difficult to measure. “We didn’t get as much as we thought we would,” Emergency Management Director Kirk Mittelstet said. The wind will continue to blow the snow around for a few more days, he said. No more significant snow is expected, but temperatures will be frigid again today. The National Weather Service shows a forecast of partly cloudy Wednesday night with a low of -5 F and a windchill as low -15 F. The forecast includes winds of 6 to 11 mph. Gusts at the height of Tuesday’s blizzard topped 45 mph. Thursday’s forecast is sunny with a high of 18 F and a windchill as low as 17 F. Thursday will also have winds of 7 mph. Canceled classes and activities left the streets of Stillwater devoid of heavy traffic but those venturing out had problems throughout the day. Several cars were stuck near the Walmart entrance on Perkins Road Tuesday morning. Elsewhere cars and trucks littered snowdrifts as well. Mid-morning Tuesday, Oklahoma State University students Kyle Wilson

and Adam Tully found themselves mired in a parking lot on Perkins Road. A group of good Samartians helped Wilson and Tully push their pickup out of the snow. Tully said the two had themselves pulled several stuck drivers out of snowbanks Tuesday morning. The two had also been bringing supplies, such as a heater, to several of their friends around town. Two Oklahoma State professors braved the weather to go to Aspen Coffee Company. Denni Blum said she needed to use Internet service to grade papers in an online digital drop box. She got a ride with Matt O’Neill. “He’s from the north and he has more experience (driving in snow) than I have,” Blum said. O’Neill, who’s from Boston, said he’s no stranger to snow storms, “but not 40 mile per hour wind.” O’Neill was out of town for the blizzard Christmas Eve 2009, but said this is the worst snow storm he’s seen in Oklahoma in his seven years here. “Usually, if the tornado sirens aren’t going off, we’re open,” said Aspen owner Kelly Lyda. He said he closes the cafe for severe ice storms, too, but Tuesday’s weather is passable, especially for people who have a four-wheel drive vehicle. Lyda joked he took his four-wheel drive truck down the streets with the highest drifts to avoid traffic. Aspen employee Michael Kraddock said his van was snowed in, so he walked to work.

A monster storm and a raised awareness of homeless needs have brought five more people to Stillwater’s only homeless shelter, the director said. Mission of Hope homeless shelter program Director Holly Smith said one person came into the shelter on Sunday, two came in Monday night and another person was picked up on the street and driven to the Mission of Hope Tuesday afternoon. Stillwater Medical Center called the Mission of Hope Tuesday afternoon to ask if they had room for a person with frostbite, bringing the total to five since Sunday.

Payne County jail death prompts two state bills By Anita Pere apere@stwnewspress.com

Ron duBois is determined to make it so his son didn’t die in vain, and two bills in the state Legislature are working to that end. Rep. Cory Williams, D-Stillwater, and Sen. Jim Halligan, RStillwater, drafted two bills that, if passed, would bring medicinal and structural reforms to county jails in Oklahoma. Halligan’s bill, SB 854, would require medical staff at jails to “be particularly aware through his or her training of the impact of opiate or methadone withdrawal symptoms that may occur in regard to the mental and physical health of the prisoner.”

Weather:

Williams’ bill, HB 2112, would mandate, “stainless steel mesh screening to be installed in any area of a jail facility that would allow access by an inmate to a fall of greater than eight (8) feet.” The bills are scheduled for first reading in their respective houses at the state Capitol Feb. 7. DuBois’ son, Peter duBois, died July 23, 2010, after falling about 12 feet in the Payne County Jail. Peter duBois went over a 4-foot railing. The state medical examiner’s office has said the cause of death was suicide. An Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation agent has been looking into the death. DuBois was sentenced July 16 to seven years in prison for

2009 to a charge of attempting to obtain a controlled and dangerous substance — methadone — by fraud. According to an arrest warrant affidavit, In September 2008, Peter duBois gave a pharmacist a prescription with the signature of a dead doctor. He was sentenced to drug court as part of a 15-year suspended sentence. Rob duBois said his son tried to go to therapy in Tulsa as required by the drug court but he got in a car wreck while en route. Ron duBois said in July Peter duBois was chemically dependent on methodone prior to entering the Payne County Jail. Payne County Sheriff R.B. Hauf has said, to his knowledge, no inmate has ever been given methadone while in the jail.

Hauf did not return calls for comment about the legislative bills. SB 854 Methadone is a synthetic narcotic that eases symptoms associated with opiate withdrawals. Rob duBois has said he believes his son committed suicide because he couldn’t cope with the pain of withdrawal from opiates. Ron duBois hopes prison and county jail physicians will eventually prescribe methadone to inmates with a history of methadone use to ease the effects of withdrawals.

Tim Houchin walks in the snow to work in downtown Tulsa on Tuesday. Blizzard conditions stranded motorists in the Tulsa area and shut down much of the city. Staff and wire reports

Sunshine and blue sky greeted Stillwater residents this morning but piles of plowed snow and temperatures hovering around zero were quick to remind that winter retains an icy drip on the area. Tuesday’s blizzard moved out and on across the Midwest. The National Weather Service predicts Stillwater won’t see temperatures anywhere near the 32-degree mark until at least Friday. And then Saturday night brings a slight chance of rain and snow. Despite the winter storm’s departure, Oklahoma is not back in business, but Will Rogers World Airport reopened this morning after a 20hour shutdown. No flights were going in or out of Tulsa International Airport today. Tulsa didn’t weather the storm as well as some parts of the state. Tuesday’s blizzard shut down turnpikes in all directions from Tulsa. The Tulsa World did not publish a

All other downtown businesses except for banks appeared to be closed. Many had signs telling customers they wouldn’t open Tuesday due to the snow. State highway conditions problematic Poor highway conditions around the state also caused problems for motorists. Oklahoma Highway Patrol troopers had a busy day. By 6 p.m. Tuesday, there were at least 73 collisions on state and federal highways, five of them with injuries. OHP has assisted more than 500 motorists since the snow started at about 12 a.m. Tuesday. There were no injury collisions in Payne County, an OHP dispatcher said Wednesday. White-outs closed several major highways Tuesday, including Will Rogers and Turner turnpikes and parts of Interstate 35.

Doctors’ Discovery Helps Diabetics

PHILADELPHIA — A team of doctors has found that a new formulation of exotic sounding ingredients gives new hope to diabetic patients. The formula, called Cinnatrol™ promotes healthy blood sugar levels by effectively metabolizing glucose into energy. In a research study, all patients taking just one capful of the liquid (one ounce) daily, dramatically lowered their blood sugar levels compared to a placebo group. Another scientific study found that an ingredient in Cinnatrol made insulin 20 times more capable of converting blood sugar to energy. While individual results vary, one patient in the study lowered his blood sugar from 220-245 to the 100-130 range in only 28 days, despite being instructed not to change his dietary habits or physical activity. Some patients, under their doctors care, have been able to reduce or eliminate their need for diabetic drugs. Scientists say that Cinnatrol helps diabetic drugs to work more efficiently.. Cinnatrol is available without a prescription at pharmacies and nutrition stores or call 1-800-3393301. Now at:

Stillwater cancels Wednesday classes Tuesday afternoon, Stillwater Superintendent Ann Caine canceled the school district’s Wednesday classes. District officials planned three inclement weather days into the end of the 2010-2011 school calendar. Wednesday was the district’s third snow day this year. If the district sees any more inclement weather days before the end of the school year, Caine said, the district has a number of options for making up the time. District officials won’t decide which option to choose until early March, she said. Because the district works on a schedule of 1080 hours per year rather than a set number of days, Caine said, district officials may decide to make up the time by adding minutes to school days, by adding days to the calendar or by holding classes on Saturdays.

City offices closed today City of Stillwater announced Tuesday afternoon that offices and facilities will be closed today due to hazardous road conditions. “Please exercise extreme caution during (the snow storm),” warned a notice on the city website. “It is recommended that you remain indoors and off of the streets as the roadways are still considered to be extremely hazardous and life threatening.” Offices in the Stillwater Municipal Building, the Stillwater Public Library, Senior Activity Center, Multi Arts Center, Community Center and Parks Blustery winds pile snow and Recreation sports programs will remain closed.

Luke Driscoll with Stillwater Utilities said he had only received one call Tuesday afternoon for a partial outage. “It’s been pretty quiet,” he added. “We’ve had some pretty good luck,” agreed Jeff Joiner of the Central Rural Electric Cooperative. Joiner credited the lack of ice for the few outages. He said that because the temperature dropped so rapidly, ice didn’t have time to build up on power lines. Joiner said that southeastern Oklahoma is dealing with many more outages because it got a lot more ice from the storm.

Legislators lose senses over new bills? As an observer of the Oklahoma Legislature for more than 40 years, this writer cannot claim to penetrate the darkness of the legislative psyche sufficiently to understand the thinking (or lack thereof) of some current members. So frequently now, questions haunt us, such as: “What are/were they thinking? What fugitive from a psych ward thought of that? Are these people really as crazy as they act? What kind of dope are they smoking these days? Don't these people have any sense at all? Who let the idiots out of their villages?” Well, you get the drift. In the past not all legislators who appeared a little off the deep end were as strange as they seemed. This writer well recalls a state senator friend from down in Okmulgee County who regularly proposed legislation to castrate convicted rapists. Of course, this would not seem strange when mixed with some of the crazy bills we have floating there every year now. Other than the one peculiar stance, that senator was a good supporter of everything progressive in Oklahoma - including colleges and public schools. And, he was a graduate of my college. But those who are sponsoring the crazy bills now do not appear

to have such redeeming qualities. At least, none show. The craziest of the loony bills in this legislative session are those proposed by the gunners. Can you really imagine college campuses with anyone and everyone carrying concealed weapons, i.e. everyone who takes the little gun-handling short course and gets certified? It is difficult to imagine streets and stores like that, much less colleges and vo-tech schools. But, lo, there are also legislators who are sponsoring legislation to let anyone carry guns in the open just about anywhere they go. That is, we can all strap on our six-shooters (excuse me, 31-bullet automatics), and go to college classes, the grocery store and maybe even the saloon. Evidently college administrators, faculty, store managers and bartenders will then be carrying their guns in order to protect themselves, the students, the customers and to keep order. Folks, even Wyatt Earp had a better system than this in old Dodge City, checking in the cowboys' guns when they came to town. And, in Tombstone the Earps and Doc Holliday met Ike Clanton and his boys down at the OK corral for their deadly gunplay away from innocent people. Who cares about innocent cows?

PETA does, so that would not be allowed today. But innocent people are OK. We have had a rash of really ugly immigration Edwin bills, all Vineyard aimed at chasing the undocumented Mexicans out of the state — and making legals uncomfortable. But those bills that threatened the interests of Chamber of Commerce member employers of undocumented residents soon got sidetracked or amended. Now we have some legislators going after the Mexican kids, trying to take away their rights to citizenship by birth although that happens to be a provision of the U. S. Constitution. They're called anchor babies. It is hard to deport the parents and not the child, but some are working at it. Denying rights to Mexican children of undocumented workers is another regular target. Deny them medical attention, deny them schooling and deny the graduates of state high schools their in-state college tu-

ition rates. It is not hard to reason why all these harsh immigration bills are introduced. They are pushed by the same people every year - the ones whose faces we see on television so frequently appealing to their tea party type voter base. They love the TV camera and the publicity they get from these efforts. We fear that similar motives drive those who each year come up with some new legislative twist to have government interfere with a woman's right to terminate an unwanted pregnancy. Strangely enough these same politicians who push such legislation intruding into the personal and family lives of women are the ones who loudly cry out against big government regulating health insurance companies or big banks in an effort to protect citizen consumers. Nevertheless, such foolishness appeals to their religious right wing voters. Clearly some legislators have motives of their own, primarily political in nature, for doing the dirty work of some overly zealous, misinformed, bigoted voters out there. Too bad! But it is still very hard to understand where the gunners are coming from. Maybe the NRA is promoting all this, and we don't even know it.

We don't receive their propaganda. To a former college administrator who allowed no guns on campus, in dormitories or anywhere else, these gun bills seem completely, utterly and incomprehensibly stupid. This writer has had the actual experience of confronting an angry man on campus, carrying his gun and looking for vengeance. I do not buy the notion that if I had been armed that day I would have been safer. The peaceful resolution of the problem could easily have been quite different with two guns present. I would not want my campus vice president son carrying a gun, or his faculty doing so, in order to meet the challenges of disorderly gun-toters on campus. They are not policemen. But neither would I want my son or other professionals trying to do their jobs peacefully amidst an armed student body — or in a town where everybody is free to carry a gun. I cannot understand legislators who would promote such conditions, nor parents who would tolerate such a circumstance. If it comes to all this, what kind of state is this going to be? Edwin E. Vineyard is a retired college president living in Enid.

Winter eliminates some of the stuff I really hate I rise (after slipping and falling) in defense of winter. This winter. The winter from hell. Who knew hell was white and cold instead of red and fiery hot — or is this just hell actually freezing over? The winter of an endless cycle of nor’easters every five days or so, with nice little below-zero breaks. The winter when we’re wondering if the total snowfall will rise higher than Shaquille O’Neal’s head. I don’t know — maybe if the groundhog doesn’t see his shadow and this pattern continues for another six weeks, I’ll be screaming for relief. But so far, every time I trudge outside to clear my way to the street again, I can’t help it. I actually smile. Every time the wind stings my face and makes my eyes water, I think, “Bring it on.” I have not entirely lost my mind. I’m not crazy about local television stations preempting all the network programming so they can give us constant reminders of what we can learn by looking or stepping outside. I’m more frustrated than informed when they go on about wind chills, the eroding supply of salt and the devastation of local snowplowing budgets. Those budgets are a complete fiction

from the start. I’m not crazy about driving with salt on the windshield and little or no traction on the roads. I would not be Taylor pleased if my pipes froze or Armerding if ice dams caused my roof to leak. I don’t like the idiotic mandates that require private citizens to clear snow from property that isn’t even theirs. I’m actually a bit surprised myself that I like anything but skiing in this stuff, and even that is suspect. One long-ago winter in college, I was skiing in Colorado and it was so cold that when I got to the bottom of the mountain I discovered that the tip of my nose was frostbitten. Now it drips, almost constantly, in cold weather. Very attractive. This affection is also unexpected because I hated winter when I was a kid delivering papers in the Midwest at 5 a.m. when it was 20 below and I couldn’t even feel my fingers when I finished my route. I

don’t remember liking having just 20 minutes to warm up while eating my breakfast and then having to stand at the bus stop for 10 minutes when it was still 5 below. I was told that I was lucky that I was so young — that when I was old, winters would be much more difficult. So, here I am. I am hesitant to get into the socially awkward discussion of defining “old,” but even if 60 is the new 30, I am now over 30. I have long since qualified for “active adult” (i.e. “geezer”) housing. I could start collecting low-end Social Security payments if I wanted to. I get a dollar off at some of the movies. I just got an e-mail from my high-school class about a 45th reunion. But I’m liking winter more than ever. Part of it is just technology. Modern cold-weather gear has made winter so much more comfortable. It is almost magical what “wicking” underwear, hand- and foot-warmers and layers of fleece can do. But what I really like is that winter eliminates some of the stuff I really hate. Take humidity, please. It makes me feel sodden and lethargic, like I don’t have the

energy to walk to the car. I hate sweating through two changes of clothes just to mow the lawn. I hate trying to sleep on a hot night. Winter takes care of all that. It makes me feel like — well, like shoveling the driveway, going for a hike or crosscountry skiing. It makes crawling under a thick comforter an exquisite pleasure. I hate black flies. I hate greenheads. I hate mosquitoes. I hate deer ticks. Have you seen any of them around for the past few months? I like that while snow blankets some things, it reveals others. I can tell just where the turkeys or the deer have been during the night. I love the cosmic depth of the Milky Way revealed on a winter night. Around here, I never see that many stars through the vaporladen air of summer. I love the way the snow muffles the background hum of life. There is something beyond peaceful about hearing nothing but your own breathing and the crunch of your boots in the snow. There are even a few bureaucratic amusements that arise from winter. For years, every time there has been a snowstorm

of anything more than six inches or so, the governor would issue an order that “nonessential” workers should stay home. The workers never objected to that — what’s not to like about a paid day off? — until the ongoing financial crisis made taxpayers start wondering if nonessential employees were, you know, nonessential. So, now the correct term is “non-emergency.” Mr. Rogers would approve. Everybody’s special and everybody’s essential. All brought to you by winter. Besides, just like every other season, winter doesn’t last forever. Three days from now, the sun will set at 5 o’clock. And from there, our turn toward the sun accelerates. We will be back on Daylight Savings Time, the drifts will melt, the crocuses will push their way through the rotting ice or whatever else gets in their way and we will be outside in T-shirts and shorts. Just remember, the black flies and mosquitoes will be waiting for you. Taylor Armerding writes for The Eagle-Tribune in North Andover, Mass. CNHI News Service distributes his column.

‘Ace of Cakes’ star Duff Goldman moving west By Susan Thurston St. Petersburg Times

After five years and 10 seasons, “Ace of Cakes� star Duff Goldman is heading west to open a second custom cake shop. The Food Network reality show is about daily operations of Charm City Cakes in Baltimore. After the show ends this spring, Goldman and several employees are moving to Los Angeles to set up Charm City Cakes West, serving California and Las Vegas. Once it’s up and running, he may try a new show. Goldman, who never goes by his real name, Jeffrey, got his nickname from his older brother, who couldn’t pronounce his name. In an interview, the 36-year-old Goldman, who’s also a musician and artist, spoke about his thoughts on cupcakes, reality TV and Nebraska. Q: How are you feeling about the show coming to an end? A: It’s bittersweet. I think that it’s a shock to see it ending, but at the same time we’ve kind of known about it for a long time. It’s not like they pulled the rug out from under us. It was a very mutual decision. ... It’s time to do some new stuff. Q: Do you plan to move your band, soihadto, to Los Angeles?

A: We’ve been talking about how we’re going to do it. It’s not called soihadto anymore. We kicked out a guy who was a bad influence and we’re changing the name and changing the style of music. My favorite name right now is Nebraska. Q: Why Nebraska? A: It conjures some really good, bleak images of flatness and cold and corn and football. It’s just got a big empty feel to it. It’s a beautiful state and there’s just not much there. It’s kind of ruled by the elements. Q: What’s your take on cupcakes? Passe? A: I think the fascination is wearing off, but there’s always going to be a place for them. I think the market for cupcakes

was huge, and it’s just settling down to normal. You’ll probably see the price point dropping off a little because people are realizing that paying $12 for something the size of your fist is kinda stupid. Q: Do you watch any other reality TV? A: We don’t call ours “reality� because you hear the word “reality� and the

first thing you think of is bad acting. I’m not a big fan of reality TV because it’s all pretty disgusting. I don’t find anyone’s stupidness interesting. A lot of these shows are about nobody doing nothing. You watch stuff like “Jersey Shore.� It’s a runaway hit and it makes absolutely no sense. Those are people you would never want to

hang out with it. Q: You’ve worked at all kinds of restaurants, from the French Laundry to McDonald’s. Any similarities? A: Both really demand perfection. That’s pretty much where the similarities end. Q: What’s the attraction to cake? A: We can work at our

own pace. You’re really stretched to do your research. You’re figuring out what to bake, how to bake it, how to build it. What parts are cake and what’s not cake. We are the luckiest people in the world because every Friday we get to see these cakes when they’re done. (Distributed by Scripps Howard News Service)

Barbecue My Way

Library Shelf

By Dave Lobeck CNHI News Service

If you were to eavesdrop on a conversation between weekend outdoor chefs discussing grilling or outdoor cooking, you would more than likely hear about the meat, the cooking method, the sauces and marinades. A topic discussed less is rubs, and that is a shame. Quality rubs add a serious punch of flavor while contributing texture to the final product. They are also the key ingredient in the formation of the much sought after bark, the dark, salty, sweet, crusty exterior that forms on barbecue after a long low and slow cooking session. The origin of rubs dates back hundreds if not thousands of years when it was necessary to apply salt and flavorings to meat for preservation. Today the appetite for rubs is huge. Browse through the spice section of any supermarket and you will agree. This column will make your rub purchase easier and hopefully give you the confidence to blend your own. There are really no hard and fast rules with rubs, but there are certain characteristics and ingredients that are present in rubs based on what meat they are going to be applied to. Don’t get me wrong. Some people have one favorite rub that they will pour on anything, including their morning cereal. Allow this general discussion to be your guide down the rub road so you can decide what you like. • Beef Texans are known for their beef barbecue and grilling, whether you are talking ribs, brisket or steaks. A good Texas beef rub compliments the

richness of the beef with saltiness, sweetness and a little heat. If you are grilling a great steak, salt and pepper is really all you need. Below is a basic Texas style beef rub. Consider this as your base and then make additions as you work with it over time to make it match your palate. 1/2 cup paprika 1/4 cup brown sugar 1 1/2 tablespoon of kosher salt 3 tablespoons of garlic powder 3 tablespoons of onion powder 2 tablespoons of dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (optional) • Pork The most popular (and traditional) preparation of pork in the barbecue world is pulled pork sandwiches. This is typically a Boston butt that has been rubbed down and slow cooked for hours over low heat that has been provided by wood burned down to coals. This is also a great rub for pork ribs. 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup paprika 3 tablespoons kosher salt 2 tablespoons of coarse black pepper 1 tablespoon of cayenne pepper 2 teaspoons of dry mustard • Poultry and Seafood This type of rub is used for grilling seafood and chicken or for creating chicken barbecue, although the other rubs discussed above can also be used for creating chicken barbecue. The flavor of this rub recipe tends to be mild with not as much sweetness. You will also notice the inclusion of

a variety of dried herbs. You can also use a blackening rub for grilling fish, which tends to be much spicier. This recipe is the more subtle version not suitable for blackening, which will be the topic for another column. 2 teaspoons coriander, ground 2 teaspoons cumin, ground 2 teaspoons garlic powder 2 teaspoons marjoram, ground 2 teaspoons nutmeg, ground 2 teaspoons onion powder 1 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons thyme, ground Learn to experiment with a variety of rubs this outdoor cooking season. Don’t just buy rub; try your hand at making your own too. With enough experimentation you may stumble across a unique rub recipe that becomes a family culinary heirloom destined to be passed on to future generations. Wouldn’t that be fun? Dave Lobeck is a barbecue chef from Sellersburg, Ind., who writes a weekly column for CNHI News Service. Visit his website at www.BBQMyWay.com.

Hobby farming has become a growing trend across the nation in the last few years. The idea is to know what is going into the meat products you eat and to save money. Of course, here in Stillwater and the surrounding areas, there are many who have raised beef cattle and other livestock for years to sell at auction. You may have noticed that some of your friends and family have begun to also raise small flocks of chickens for eggs or to raise a pig or steer for meat rather than buy form the store. Raising your own livestock gives you the chance to go organic or grass-based rather than using hormones and grains. You could also try raising heritage breeds and rare breeds that are at risk of going extinct. If you are interested in raising your own livestock for economical and health reasons, here are a couple of books at the library that I recommend: • “Hobby Farm: Living Your Rural Dream for Pleasure and Profit” by Carol Ekarius-Ekarius: The author writes from personal experience about deciding to make the switch from living in the city to managing a small farm. She explains small scale gardening, raising livestock and dealing with problems like pests and changing seasons. • “Living on an Acre: A Practical Guide to the SelfReliant Life”: This is the classic small farm primer from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. It covers topics like building a barn, beekeeping, raising livestock and conserving land. Most importantly, do not forget to enjoy yourself. I have enjoyed going to a family member’s house to help collect eggs and feed the hens and watching the hens as they run around the yard and getting all excited after you mow to scratch through the freshly cut grass for seeds and bugs. May you have as much joy out of it as I do.

Horoscope Thursday, Feb. 3, 2011 AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - The natural leadership qualities you possess will be quite obvious to your compatriots. Don’t be reluctant to take charge of something that is important to everyone. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - This is likely to be a very uneventful day for you, if you are resistant about getting involved with others. If you insist upon being a loner, you’ll have only yourself to blame for feeling deserted. ARIES (March 21-April 19) - If harsh or domineering people appear to be more abrasive than usual, steer clear of them. You’re not the type of person who will stand nicely by and take that kind of abuse. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - It’s not

like you to be uncertain about yourself, but there is a possibility you could suffer a rare lapse. Just move slowly and you should be able to get past any dubious feelings. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - It will be important not to let associates or family pressure you into coming up with fast answers. Only after reviewing all the ramifications of important matters can you make the right decision. CANCER (June 21-July 22) - Try to do business with merchants, firms or people with whom you’ve had some past experience, if you’re feeling unsure of yourself. This way you’ll know what to expect and depend on. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Kindness and consideration are always essential in your

Dear Abby DEAR ABBY: My husband has been talking about many married couples who take showers together. In fact, he claims that most couples do. Our relationship in the bedroom has been great so far, and I’d like to keep it there. I don’t want a twosome in the bathroom. Am I wrong to enjoy my privacy in the shower? -SQUEAKY CLEAN IN NORTH CAROLINA DEAR SQUEAKY CLEAN: Many married couples take showers together, and many don’t. Among those who do, some find it arousing; others just enjoy the intimacy and having someone to scrub their backs. If you feel your time in the shower is sacred alone time, you’re entitled to your feelings. If an encounter isn’t pleasurable for both parties involved, then it’s usually not partic-

ularly satisfying for either one. DEAR ABBY: My younger sister, “Janet,� and I are very close. We live near each other and have many of the same friends. My problem is, Janet likes to share stories about our childhood, and our childhood was horrible. We were poor and homeless more than once. Both our parents were on drugs, and our father was abusive to our mother. I have tried telling my sister that when she shares these stories, I not only find it humiliating, but also find myself reliving the awful experiences. Her response is to remind me that we’re not those kids anymore. She doesn’t think it’s anything to be ashamed of. Is she wrong to tell these horror stories that involve both of us, or do I need to stop trying to forget? -- NOT LOOKING IN THE REARVIEW MIR-

ROR DEAR N O T LOOKI N G : Your sister is correct that your childhood is nothing you should be ashamed of. Both of you have managed to thrive in spite of the chaotic environment in which you were raised. However, for her to persist in raising a subject that you have told her is painful is insensitive -particularly if she’s doing it in your presence. You may have a shared history, but you clearly have different coping mechanisms, and she should respect yours.

one-on-one relationships and dealings. If you display anything less, you won’t be able to handle things properly. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Nice things could happen to you through several people with whom you work shoulderto-shoulder on a daily basis. Be prepared to reciprocate as soon as you can. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Your obvious concern about the welfare of family and friends will not go unnoticed by them or anyone else. What you do for others will serve to reinforce existing bonds. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - Love

and concern for the welfare and security of your family and friends will have you focusing on how you can help them. Your efforts will be well spent. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Even though you may feel deeply about things, you won’t let emotions or passion overrule your logic and reason. You know the difference between fact and feelings. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - It’s very kind of you to be generous with your resources and possessions to those who are near and dear to you, but be watchful that a user doesn’t take advantage.

Pioneers a dream for Barnard By Jason Elmquist jelmquist@stwnewspress.com

For Tucker Barnard, finding himself wearing a Stillwater High jacket on Monday night was the pinnacle moment in his coaching career. After years of coaching, he had finally landed his dream job. "When I heard that this job was open, I was immediately full speed ahead. Honestly, this has been a job that, I go back to my college days, this would be one that you would kind of look at as

a dream job," Barnard said. "Coaches are always looking for 'that job', looking for that one where you're like 'That's where I want to go, that's where I Barnard want to build my legacy.' So Stillwater has kind of been that place for me. So when I saw it open up, I got after it immediately to do everything I could to be the next football coach at Stillwater."

He may be just what is needed for the Stillwater football program. Not only does Barnard have experience as a head coach, but he has been both an offensive coordinator and a defensive coordinator in his time coaching high school football. Obviously, both hats will be beneficial for a football team that has the weapons in place for a great offense, but lacks the defense to go with it. "I actually started as an offensive coach, way back in the day," Barnard said. "I've coached quar-

terbacks and receivers. I played quarterback in high school and in college at Northwestern Oklahoma State. ... It wasn't until Shiloh that I started coaching defense. So I've been a part of all of it and have been a head coach before, overseeing all of it. So I have background everywhere. I've even been a special teams coordinator, also." While Barnard's experience was understandably a big draw for Stillwater, the school system See ➤ Coach, page A9

Sooners game free today too NORMAN (AP) — A men’s basketball game between Baylor and Oklahoma has been rescheduled to today due to a winter storm that brought accumulating snow and strong winds to the state.

Baylor (14-6, 4-3 Big 12) has won three straight games in the series.

SHS starts final stretch on the road By Jason Elmquist jelmquist@stwnewspress.com

The Stillwater High boys and girls basketball squads are coming down the home stretch of the regular season. The Pioneers have just four remaining games over the next two weeks, starting with Friday's road trip to Ponca City for a Centennial Conference rematch. When the schools last paired up, it was two totally different games from the boys and girls. The Lady Pioneers held out for a slim 41-38 home victory, while the boys squad blew out its conference rival to the tune of 87-46. But now it's time to see how the Pioneers can handle their rivals in a hostile environment. "We've got to make sure that we go out and do what we're supposed to do," SHS girls coach

Carl Treat said. "We know Ponca is going to defend well, so we've got to make the easy looks and make sure that when we get some scoring opportunities that we make the shots we're supposed to make." For the boys team, it will be a case of trying to copy what they've done over the last eight games. The Pioneers had a sevengame winning streak snapped last Friday, but it took overtime by Bishop McGuinness in order to top SHS — which had won it's seven previous games by an average margin of 17. "We've got to try to set the tempo right from the get-go," SHS boys coach Michael Davis said. "We've got to keep in mind that this is still a conference game and we're still trying to win a conference championship. So the game is very important." While the boys did suffer a

close loss to McGuinness on Friday, Davis said that the game wasn't a total loss. The Pioneers were shorthanded with top scorer Josh Pierre out nursing an injury suffered in the Shawnee Shootout, which gave some other players an opportunity to play against a top-notch team before postseason play. "That game showed us what type of team we can have," Davis said. "Minus Josh, it gave us a better chance to develop Dylan (Murrell) and Tyler (Holcomb), which makes our rotation nine to 10 (players) now. So it was a good game in the sense that those two guys played big minutes in that game." Davis said Pierre is progressing nicely, but that there won't be a final decision made on his status until Thursday, at the earliest. Regardless, Pierre should be back healthy by postseason play.

And that has been one thing benefiting both the boys and girls squads this year — health. Besides a pre-season injury to Joe Pierre that ended his season before it started, the boys team hasn't had any major injuries. And the same could be said for the girls team. "That's one thing we've been fortunate with — knock on wood that it will stay that way," Treat said. "The main thing is trying to maintain some type of level of conditioning and keep our confidence up and cross your fingers and hope everyone stays healthy. But that is a big reason why we've had success this year is because we haven't had to rearrange our lineup and shuffle our lineup ... and that has really helped us maintain some continuity." For the girls right now, though, See ➤ SHS, page A9

Swimmers head to championships By Jason Elmquist jelmquist@stwnewspress.com

The Stillwater High swim team will be heading to Lawton on Saturday to compete in the Centennial Conference Championships on the base at Fort Sill. With the meet being held on one day, the swimmers will compete in prelims in the morning starting at 10:30 a.m. with the finals being held in the afternoon. "I'm not terribly concerned about it, because in club swimming they kind of do the same thing," SHS coach Kurt Goebel said. "The whole idea of doing a prelims-finals thing is to where they have

to prepare to swim a good time to make finals and find out what they're up against, and then making finals and getting some good points. "But we do this just so our kids have some kind of experience doing this prelims-finals type thing and trying to make a finals type time because other than state, this is the only time we get to do this. So that's kind of why we're doing it." Speaking of state, the conference meet is one of the last chances for swimmers on the bubble of qualifying to reach the need time to qualify for the state meet. "Those kids that are on the bubble should be very

rested by now," Goebel said. "That's the thing, we go into a taper, we start reducing meters, workouts aren't nearly as long — though with this snow it's kind of messed things up a little bit — but our kids are rested and they look pretty fit. So I feel those kids that are close should be able to get their times or at least get pretty close at conference." As for the conference competition, Goebel said he's hopefully for a possible sweep by the boys and girls squads — though he admitted it will be a little more difficult for his girls squad to come away with the team title. "The girls, we've got some injuries and some el-

igibility issues and some other types of things that are kind of plaguing our numbers now," Goebel said. "Enid's got some real good swimmers at the top. They have three girls that are very, very good — kind of a Bailey McCullough quality. So overcoming those points may be pretty tough.

w

"But we do have some depth and we'll be going in with six relays — you get to do an A team and a B team in conference. Not all teams can do that, so we should be able to pick up a few points there." On the boys, however, Goebel foresees an easy See ➤ Swim, page A9

SCOREBOARD Local schedule

Continued from page A8 and community were equally big draws for Barnard. "The draw really is about the tradition, the city of Stillwater, it's about the type of kids you find here, it's about this community," Barnard said. "My family is all here, so that obviously helps. But it's so much more. It's all of that rolled up into one. It's kind of the perfect situation for me." But Barnard's duties won't end on the football field. The Woodland High graduate and Oklahoma State alum will have to manage being the head of a football program, as well as the head of an entire athletic department as he'll take over for current athletics director Butch Lingenfelter come next year. "I think it comes with organization and time-management skills," Barnard said of balancing the two duties. "I just have to do a good job of being able to go from one role into the other in the course of a day. The thing is, they're blended together and neither one of those jobs really has an end to the day. It's always a continuation, there's always something new, something different to do every single day. So I've got to be able to reaction and respond, but also to have clear mind and be mindful of the decisions I'll be making daily."

➤Swim Continued from page A8 road to the conference championship, thanks largely to their depth. "The whole boys team, we've got a lot of kids that give us a lot of depth," Goebel said. "I'm predicting that we're going to clobber people with the boys just because of that depth. I'm going down there with 19 boys, I'd be surprised if the other teams have any more than six or eight kids. As far as the conference meet, we have a very, very good team for that."

➤SHS Continued from page A8 is to get things reignited on the offensive end. The Lady Pioneers have stalled at times on offense since coming back from the winter break. That was the leading cause in their 53-31 loss to Bishop McGuinness on Friday. "Part of it is that we've got to make sure that we get some good looks," Treat said. "People have scouted us now, we're not going to sneak up on anyone any more. So we're going to have to work a little harder to help each other get open. Our shooting percentage, early on, was pretty high and it's dipped a little bit and that's because people are guarding us a lot more and are prepared for us a lot more."

Briefly... Riley back home with Tulsa Shock LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Sparks have traded guard Andrea Riley to the Tulsa Shock in exchange for a second-round pick in the 2012 WNBA draft. Sparks general manager Penny Toler said Tuesday that the trade gives Riley a chance to move closer to her family and friends in Texas and play in front of fans who know her from her college days at Oklahoma State. Riley, who is from Dallas, averaged 3.4 points and 1.0 assists in 29

games as a rookie with the Sparks last season. She was taken eighth overall by the Sparks in the first round of the draft last year. Games across midwest postponed The St. Louis Blues saw plenty of snow and ice, but no Avalanche. The Blues’ game against the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday night was postponed because of a storm cutting a frigid path across much of the nation. A makeup date has not been set for the NHL game, which would have been the first since the All-

Star break for both teams. Missouri has been hit by what could be the its worst winter storm in decades, a dangerous mix of snow, freezing rain, wind and cold. Whiteouts paralyzed Oklahoma City and the Tulsa area, and blowing snow created drifts up to 4 feet high. Conditions in the area were so forbidding that The Humane Society of Missouri urged people to bring pets inside. Also postponed were the men’s and women’s Tuesday night games featuring Southeast Missouri at Southern Illinois-Ed-

wardswille. The airport in Dallas — the destination for thousands trying to get to Sunday’s Super Bowl — was among those shut down. Walkways outside Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, were like sheets of ice. The National Weather Service advised Wisconsin travelers bound for Texas to wait until Wednesday evening, with up to 20 inches of snow forecast for the Milwaukee area. The Packers, no stranger to winter chill, might even practice indoors this week.

Super Bowl week off to cold start

Stillwater’s Emma Gade goes up for a lay-up against Eisenhower.

“The show goes on,” Aiello wrote. “Media day is on schedule. Drive carefully.” The news was a little more tenuous for travelers: Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport was closed for about an hour due to the storm, and primary tenant American Airlines canceled 800 flights — about half its daily service. The wintry blast of ice, blustery winds and plummeting temperatures also closed schools and snarled traffic. Walkways outside Cowboys Stadium in Arlington were a sheet of ice and a temporary building set up on the grounds had a hole in it, curtains flapping in the stiff wind. The Packers might even practice indoors this week if the weather doesn’t improve — just like they do at home. “It’s a little too cold for me,” linebacker Clay Matthews said. “Texas is supposed to be hot and humid. I was looking forward to that. I am a

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Super Bowl week is too cold so far for “The Freezer.” B.J. Raji, the 337-pound nose tackle for the Packers who’s drawn comparisons to former Bears standout William “The Fridge” Perry, made that clear Tuesday at media day. “Too cold,” Raji said. “Feels like the AC is on.” While the rest of the Dallas area slipped and slid through a miserable morning of ice, bone-chilling winds and light snow, the NFL stuck to its Super Bowl schedule. League spokesman Greg Aiello sent out a Twitter message saying media activities at Cowboys Stadium in suburban Arlington would go on as planned — and they did, with the roof thankfully closed high above the Packers, Pittsburgh Steelers and hundreds of reporters in town for Sunday’s game.

California guy.” Then again, receiver Greg Jennings said it felt like home. “We’re in Green Bay right now,” he said. “We’re the home team and we’re at home with this weather.” The storm was expected to dump more than a foot of snow on parts of the Midwest, and it covered roads all over North Texas with layers of freezing rain. The commuting crowd was much lighter, though, because schools were closed and many people simply stayed home. The Super Bowl next year is slated for Indianapolis and the year after in the open-air New Meadowlands Stadium in New Jersey, raising the possibility of more chilly stories in the week before the game. Michael Morris, director of transportation for the North Central Texas Council of Governments, said sand trucks gave the “bad storm” everything they had to keep roads clear.

Bridge

A true gift, or one of Greek origin? By Phillip Alder

Dave Barry said, “I can win an argument on any topic, against

any opponent. People know this, and steer clear of me at parties. Often, as a sign of their great respect, they don’t even invite me.” Can you win this argument -- battle -- at the bridge table? You are in three no-trump. West leads the heart five. How would you plan the play? Your response of one no-trump showed 6-9 points (or a poor 10) and fewer than three spades. North cautiously invited game when most would have jumped to three no-trump. But

you rightly moved on because your hand had a good five-card suit and two 10s. Given the heart lead, you have six top tricks: one spade, four hearts and one diamond. And the club suit will provide four more winners. But you must watch your entries. If you play low from the dummy, take the trick with your heart 10, and play on clubs, West, if he learned the game before breakfast, will only take his ace on the second round of the suit. Then, how will you get back to your

hand to cash those three club winners? You won’t! You must sacrifice one heart trick to get four club tricks. You must play second hand high, winning the first trick with dummy’s heart king. Then you immediately attack clubs to collect nine tricks: one spade, three hearts, one diamond and four clubs. It is good business to give up one trick if you get three in return. And if you do that here, partner will surely invite you to the next bridge party. Copyright 2011, UFS
