With two consecutive weeks of winter weather, major streets and thoroughfares in Norman have had plenty of salt and sand sprinkled on them.

Efforts to contact officials at the Westheimer administrative offices regarding the airport’s status were unsuccessful. The Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City canceled flights late Tuesday evening and early Wednes-

• No more precipitation is expected for this week

Wednesday’s winter blast was lighter than last week’s snow storm, with about 3 to 4 inches of snow falling in Norman, said Patrick Burke, meteorologist with the National Weather Center in Norman. He said snow began to fall between midnight and 1 a.m. Wednesday morning, with the heaviest snow fall between 3 a.m. and noon Wednesday. “We don’t expect any more precipitation,” Burke said. He said the real concern is the cold, with the temperature expected to drop to near zero overnight. Today’s temperature is not expected to rise above freezing, but sunny skies are in the forecast.

Public Works Director Shawn O’Leary said at least some of that mix, designed to improve conditions for vehicles braving the roadways, ends up in the city’s drainage system and waterways. He said the salt is an issue unto itself, but the sand is

“the biggest mess.” “The reality is, (sand) can and will end up in our stormwater system, but there’s not a whole lot we can do about it right now,” O’Leary said. “But it is an issue • See SAND Page A3

A day after Julie Raadschelders was elected as Norman Public Schools newest board member, she says she’s relieved to not be prepping for a runoff. “I’d say I was surprised, especially with a three-person race. Everyone had lots of good things to say,” she

said midmorning Wednesday, after winning the Office No. 1 seat with 723 votes — Raadschelders a little less than 59 percent of the votes — Tuesday night. “Plus, the cost of having

a runoff, not only for the individual candidates but the city, would be an additional cost,” she said. Her opponent Jim Gasso had almost 28 percent of the votes and the other contender, Paul Maus, had almost 14 percent. Winning with a clear majority, Raadschelders had to capture 50 percent plus one vote in Tuesday’s

election. “The whole election, the whole time, it has never been about me. It’s always been about the children,” said Maus, who called Raadschelders on Tuesday night to congratulate her on her win. Gasso declined to comment on the results and then hung-up. These results, however,

are unofficial until they are certified by the Cleveland County Election Board in the next few days. Raadschelders succeeds outgoing board member Joe Sparks, who campaigned on her behalf during the race. Sparks, owner of Legend’s Restaurant, said family and business • See BOARD Page A3

Blizzard strands bus passengers By Justin Juozapavicus Associated Press

TULSA — A second powerful blizzard in a week roared through parts of the nation’s midsection on Wednesday, bringing biting winds and dumping more than a foot of snow on areas still digging out from last week’s major storm. As the system barreled through the Plains toward the Deep South, it blanketed parts of northeastern Oklahoma and northwestern Arkansas under a new layer of snow. In Tulsa, where mail, bus, and trash pickup service was only recently restored, 5 inches new snow gave it 25.9 inches for the season, breaking its old seasonal record of 25.6 inches set back in 19231924. Last week’s record 14inch snowfall kept students out of school for at least six days and made many roads in the state’s second-largest city impassable.

Dean Guay, 23, was among about two dozen Greyhound bus passengers who spent the night in a Red Cross shelter in Oklahoma’s second-largest city after their bus was forced to abort its cross-country trip due to the storm. “Everything was going fine until Oklahoma, then it went crazy,” said Guay, who was travelling from New York to California for a job. He said he hopes to make it out West by Saturday. Passenger Chris Pletter said he expects it’ll be three or four days before he can resume his trip to Arizona, and that he is grateful he was allowed to stay in the shelter set up at the Crosstown Church of Christ. “I’m glad we’re in good hands here. If it wasn’t for the Red Cross we’d be on the streets now.” Greyhound spokesman Timothy Stokes said the passengers were given the option of staying at the bus

terminal or the shelter, and that they will be picked up to continue the trip when it’s safe to travel. By midmorning Wednesday, the storm had dropped 16 inches on the town of Pawhuska, 14 inches on nearby Eucha and more than a foot on Bartlesville, about 50 miles north of Tulsa. The snow was worse across the state border in northwestern Arkansas, where nearly every community on that fringe of the Boston Mountains reported a foot or more of snow — blowing away forecasts that had called for only a half-foot. “It kills business, but looks fantastic,” Rob Cork, who runs a Siloam Springs tea room with his wife, Dawn, said of the 18 inches that fell there. Twenty inches fell in nearby Gentry, and 18 inches also fell in Elm Springs. Cork said he hadn’t seen a soul trudging through the knee-high snow Wednesday, and that he kept his business

closed because most people around there stay indoors in such weather. A quaint diner a few blocks away was also closed due to the snow, leaving locals to look elsewhere for their coffee and oatmeal. “We can’t make it in today since the snow is so deep!” the Cafi on Broadway posted on its website. “If roads get cleared, we might come in this afternoon. Be safe! No cars should be driving in this. You WILL get stuck!” Transportation authorities throughout the affected region warned drivers to stay off the roads. Last week’s blizzard stranded hundreds of drivers on roadways who had to be taken to safety. Schoolchildren in Kansas got to spend Wednesday building snow forts and shoveling driveways, and several Kansas universities cancelled classes for the day. Wednesday morning, 17 inches of snow had fallen in Newton, 15 inches in Coffey

and 14 inches in Wilson, the National Weather Service said. As the storm moved out of Kansas, temperatures were expected to drop into the teens in the state, making the coming weekend’s forecast of temperatures in the mid40s seem downright balmy. In Texas, classes were canceled for students in the Dallas, Fort Worth and Amarillo school districts. Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport canceled about 120 departures. Spokesman David Magana says DFW airport anticipated operating a full schedule later Wednesday when conditions were expected to improve. As the storm moved toward the Deep South, it was expected to dump up to five inches of snow on northwest Mississippi and an inch or less around Atlanta, enough to snarl traffic and cause closures in a region traditionally short of salt trucks and plowing equipment.

Second Chance sanctuary launches awareness campaign Transcript Staff Second Chance Animal Sanctuary has become an inaugural partner in a new public awareness campaign called People Saving Pets, which is empowered by PetSmart charities. Second Chance Executive Director Jack Perkins said the campaign will use powerful advertising and outreach to change Norman’s perceptions about pet homelessness and inspire people to take action. The campaign’s goals are to drive pet adoptions, increase spay and neuter rates, encourage more people to volunteer and generate more funding for the cause in Norman, Perkins said, adding that he believes the effort can significantly reduce Norman’s euthanasia rates and, over time, find a home for every Norman pet that needs one. “People Saving Pets costs our group nothing, and has the power to engage the entire community in our cause — saving the lives of homeless pets,” Perkins said. Perkins said that because Norman is one of only two metro areas in the U.S. to take part in the campaign before a planned nationwide roll-out, it is an opportunity to make Norman a national leader in the fight to end pet homelessness. But organizers caution that the campaign will succeed only if large numbers of local people get involved and spread

the word to friends and family. “Getting involved is easy, and just a few simple actions can make a big difference for pets,” Perkins said. “Even if you can’t adopt, volunteer or give, you can create a great deal of change just by sharing the campaign with the people in your lives.” People interested in participating can visit www.peoplesavingpets.org, where they can learn more about the issue, find ways to take action, join the cause and share it on social networks such as Facebook and Twitter.

Events slated for this month Second Chance also has several adoption events slated during the rest of February. The Petco in Norman will host an adoption event Feb. 20, from 1 to 4 p.m., and another event will be hosted at Petsmart in Norman Feb. 13 and 27, from 1 to 4 p.m. In addition, Second Chance will be participating in PetSmart’s National Adoption Weekend by having some of their adoptable dogs at PetSmart in Norman from 4 to 7 p.m. on Friday, and from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday. Carino’s Restaurant, at Lindsey Street and Interstate 35, also will host benefit days for the month of February every Tuesday.

Norman man dies after fall in snow By Aaron Wright Gray Transcript Staff Writer

Norman resident James Richard Green, 71, died Feb. 4 from a head injury he received after falling in the snow the morning of Feb. 2, according to his widow, Johnnie Green. Johnnie Green said Richard, as he was known to his friends, was out early Wednesday morning on Feb. 2 walking his dog, Daisy, when he fell twice in the snow. On one fall, he hit his

head. He returned home, complaining of soreness in his head, but seemed OK, Johnnie Green said. She said he continued his normal routine, eating breakfast, checking e-mails and working in the garage. About noon, Johnnie Green said her husband fell asleep while resting. She didn’t think much of it until he started to look uncomfortable. She woke him up to make sure he was OK. It was then he informed her that he felt sick and very hot. She said his condition con-

tinued to worsen until he became unresponsive, at which point she called 911. Norman Regional referred her to St. Anthony Hospital in Oklahoma City to see a neurosurgeon. After an examination, the neurosurgeon spoke with Johnnie Green about her options and she elected not to have surgery. Richard Green spent two days in the hospital before he died Friday. Johnnie Green said her husband was on blood thinners for a heart condition

and experienced bleeding in his brain from the fall. He had previously had three heart surgeries, but was recovering well and remained active in his daily life, she said. She said the support from friends and family regarding his death has been overwhelming. “It’s just amazing how many friends he had,” she said. Johnnie Green said Richard Green would be remembered as a patient and considerate man.

“I’m not just saying that because he’s gone,” she said. “Anyone would tell you that.” Richard Green served as deacon at Immanuel Baptist Church. He is the former owner of ABC Glass Shop in Norman. The couple retired from the family business in 2006. Services for Richard Green will be at 2 p.m. Friday at Immanuel Baptist Church, 715 E. Eufaula.

Sand:Could clog waterways • Continued from Page A1

The hazards Transcript Photo by Jerry Laizure

This car slid off of an ice and snow covered section of 36th Ave. NW north of Indian Hills Road.

we are talking about as we continue to work on the Stormwater Master Plan.” According to the Environmental Protection Agency, sand gets moved to the side of roadways “where it collects oil, grease and other automotive byproducts” that can eventually end up in lakes, ponds, streams or other waterways. An EPA document on winter roads and the environment also states that sand can clog storm water basins, fill streambeads, cloud the water, damage aquatic wildlife and lead to a proliferation of potentially harmful microorganisms. The document also shows that sand is

ground up into fine dust particles by vehicle traffic, which can lead to respiratory problems such as asthma. Simply storing the sand and salt used to make slick roads safer for vehicle traffic also can be hazardous, O’Leary said. “You’ve got to be careful where you store those things, because it can runoff into any nearby water sources and become a problem that way,” he said. O’Leary, who held similar positions in Kansas and Iowa (where snowfall is a more serious problem) said Oklahoma doesn’t have regulations governing the use of sands and salts on roads. “In the places I worked before,

that was much more of an issue,” he said. “Fortunately for us, here in Norman, we don’t get many of these days ... and therefore we don’t have to store as much of it (sands and salts) or use as much of it.” In the future, O’Leary said the city will continue looking into more environmentally friendly ways to treat the roads, although plenty of traditional salt and sand is ready for the next winter storm. Safer road treating products “is an issue that’s out there and there are different products that are emerging,” O’Leary said. “We are looking into those things.” Andrew Knittle 366-3540 aknittle@normantranscript.com

that involved bodily injury on Wednesday. As of mid-afternoon Wednesday, police had received no calls for accidents with injury, said Capt. Tom Easley of the department. In fact, Easley said only three to four non-injury accidents had been reported, noting that the figure was less than a “regular” day. “People are doing what they’re suppose to and staying inside,” Easley said. “Either that or they’re getting better at driving on this.” As of mid-afternoon Wednesday, one person was treated in the emergency room for a wrist injury related to a fall, said Kelly Wells, Norman Regional Hospital spokeswoman.

Also, no storm-related injuries had been treated at Norman Regional HealthPlex as of Wednesday afternoon, and Moore Medical Center had treated one ankle injury, Wells said. The Salvation Army Norman remained open Wednesday to assist those seeking shelter from the frigid temperatures, said Robert Douglas, shelter monitor. Douglas said the Salvation Army remained stocked on supplies, despite the two weeks in a row of snow storms. Food and Shelter Inc. closed Wednesday, but their dining area remained open, according to a phone message at the shelter. Transcript staffer Andrew Knittle contributed to this report

Construction projects Airports:This week much impacted by storms better than last for air travel By Andrew Knittle Transcript Staff Writer

Public Works Director Shawn O’Leary said work on several construction projects around the city have been affected by the winter storms in recent days, but said most of the projects are in good shape to absorb the delays. “We did so well in November, December and January, not having any bad weather at all, that I think we’ll pretty much break even from these storms,” O’Leary said. “We were ahead of schedule on a number of projects, too, so that will help.” The city currently is financing several high-profile construction projects,

including massive endeavors at the Robinson Street railroad crossing and the expansion of Rock Creek Road over Interstate 35. Numerous road maintenance projects and traffic improvement jobs have been delayed as well. O’Leary, who oversees most city-financed construction projects, wasn’t too concerned about progress. “We’re fine ... this will melt and they’ll be back to work very soon,” he said. “These kinds of weather events are expected ... and we’ve been very fortunate this year in that it’s been very mild. So, we’re in good shape.” Andrew Knittle 366-3540 aknittle@normantranscript.com

Our view • BUDGET

It’s a tough sledding year for Oklahoma higher ed Oklahoma higher education officials were hoping to be spared more budget reductions this year. They have been busy outlining millions of dollars in cost-savings implemented on campuses and increased grant-writing successes. Campus administrators have squeezed more than $112 million in savings through lower energy consumption and conversions, changes in salaries and benefits, changes and elimination of positions and reductions in supplies and IT expenses. Grants topped $506 million in 2010. Chancellor Glen Johnson was requesting $1,122,465,350 in this year’s state budget. If that wish was granted, it would have been an increase of more

than 5.5 percent from the current fiscal year. Gov. Mary Fallin on Monday bumped that down to about $974 million, or $30.1 million less than last year’s approriation. Gov. Falllin submitted a budget of $6.4 billion. It is less than the current year and uses no stimulus or rainy day funds, two sources used in 2010 to plug up a sinking revenue base. It’ll likely mean Regents will push for tuition and fee increases at the state’s 25 institutions of higher learning. Enrollment increases of 10 percent over the last decade have forced campuses to add faculty and sections of core curriculum classes. The number of freshmen was up more than 12 percent in 2009.

• SUBSTANCE ABUSE

Better access to treatment Gov. Mary Fallin wants better access to substance abuse treatment to keep families together and keep offenders out of state prisons. Her remarks were part of the governor’s inaugural State of the State address. Three of the five key funding issues outlined in Monday’s address are behavioral health issues. They include funding and treating substance abuse, expanded mental health emergency responders and meeting the matching requirement of

Oklahoma’s System of Care program. One study showed of the women admitted to Oklahoma prisons in 2010, 64 percent had a moderate to high need for substance abuse treatment. Besides treatment, the state could stand to expand drug courts and mental health courts. Untreated mental and addictive disorders can lead to long-term incarceration, loss of productivity and societal dysfunction. Gov. Fallin understands treatment on the front end can lessen long-term costs.

Dirtying the Clean Air Act

Conservatives have been attacking the Clean Air Act since its passage in 1970, continually claiming that federal efforts to fight air pollution would wreak economic ruin. As congressional Republicans prepare to fire their latest broadside at the law, it’s worth remembering how inaccurate these predictions have proved. Since the GOP takeover of the House in November, party leaders have been vowing to produce bills that would strip the Environmental Protection Agency of the authority to regulate greenhouse gases. On Wednesday, Sen. James M. Inhofe, R-Okla., unveiled a draft version of the bill likely to be the centerpiece of this effort. It renders null and void the EPA’s scientific findings that greenhouse gases pose a threat to human health, prohibits the agency from taking any action to curb the climate problem and even strips California of a Clean Air Act

waiver that allows it to pass tougher rules on automotive emissions than the federal government… After considering mountains of peer-reviewed research compiled by such organizations as the National Academy of Sciences, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the U.S. Global Change Research Program, the EPA issued its endangerment finding in 2009. By trying to overturn this finding, Inhofe and his backers are saying that the damage to future generations is irrelevant, and that politicians know more about climate science and health threats than climatologists and epidemiologists.… We’re not too worried about the Inhofe bill being approved … and even if it passes, President Obama is expected to veto it. But its very existence points up the irresponsibility of the GOP’s environmental policies. — Los Angeles Times

This one is Egypt’s to lose

ASHINGTON — Sixty years ago, American politics was embittered by an accusation couched as a question: “Who lost China?” The implied indictment was that America had fumbled away a possession through incompetence or sinister conniving. In 1949, when communists came to power there, America bestrode both hemispheres shattered from war. Americans thought their nation was at the wheel of the world and that whatever happened, wherever, happened at America’s instigation, or at least its sufferance, or was evidence of American negligence. It is a sign of national maturity — the product of hard learning, from Korea and Vietnam to Iraq and Afghanistan — that fewer American complainers are today faulting the Obama administration for not anticipating and shaping events in Egypt. Israel, which lives next door to Egypt and has an excellent intelligence service, did not see this coming. So, a modest proposal: Those Americans who know which Republican will win next year’s Iowa caucuses can complain about those who did not know that when a Tunisian street vendor set himself on fire, he would set a region afire. From all other Americans, forbearance would be seemly. It also would be amazing, because there is a cottage industry of Barack Obama critics who, not content with monitoring his myriad mistakes in domestic policies, insist that there must be a seamless connection of those with his foreign policy. Strangely, these critics, who correctly doubt the propriety and capacity of the U.S. government controlling our complex society, simultaneously fault the government for not having vast competence to shape the destinies of other societies. Such critics persist because, as Upton Sinclair wrote in 1935, “It is

George Will

difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.” America has one source of leverage over Egyptian events — the close relations between that nation’s military leadership and America’s, including the material dependence of the former on U.S. assistance. But saying that Egypt’s military is the nation’s most impressive institution constitutes faint praise. Can Egypt’s soldiers fine-tune a whirlwind? It is largely forgotten that when Mikhail Gorbachev began contemplating reform of the Soviet Union — before things spun out of control, as they have a way of doing — he imagined only a more efficient communism still administered by a one-party state. Today, residual sentimentality about him obscures the fact that real multiparty pluralism was not in his original plans. And two decades later, it still is not in Russia’s foreseeable future. If there are Egyptian elections soon, America will be tempted to try to influence them. It did that successfully in Italy in 1948, where there was a substantial danger that communists would win. In Italy then, however, unlike in Egypt today, there were two clear sides — the Cold War was taking shape. And there was a more recent and robust parliamentary tradition, including political parties, than in Egypt. In the National Endowment for

Democracy and elsewhere, the U.S. government has access to reservoirs of talent for helping Egypt improvise an infrastructure of representative government. But this must be done with exquisite delicacy because, happily, the Egyptian regime is being shaken primarily by nationalists. An encouraging aspect of the Egyptian protests is the widespread waving of the nation’s flag. Western intellectuals, who tend toward cosmopolitanism, tend to disdain the nation-state and nationalism as aspects of humanity’s infancy, things to be outgrown. But the nation gives substance and structure to the secular pride and yearnings of the Egyptian people, who are demographically young but culturally ancient. Indelicate American assistance for democratization could cause a recoil from those crowds eager to be proud of an Egyptian outcome. The question is: What comes after whatever comes next? In March 2003, as U.S. forces fought toward Baghdad, a then two-star general, David Petraeus, speaking to The Washington Post’s Rick Atkinson, “hooked his thumbs into his flak vest” and spoke five words that have reverberated ever since: “Tell me how this ends.” Next, Petraeus said five unremembered words: “Eight years and eight divisions?” Atkinson explained: “The allusion was to advice supposedly given the White House in the early 1950s by a senior Army strategist upon being asked what it would take to prop up French forces in South Vietnam.” We still do not know how the process begun by America’s intervention in Iraq will end — or, for that matter, how to mark the “end” of a great historical convulsion. In Egypt, Egyptians will tell us how it ends. George Will writes for the Washington Post Writers Group. His e-mail address is georgewill@washpost.com.

A chance to learn about journalism By Mitchel Olszak CNHI News Service

The journalism profession is, to put it mildly, in a state of flux. It’s a time when news organizations of all forms are struggling to survive. Declining readership and viewership, along with a resultant decrease in advertising revenue, leads to staffing cuts and assorted dire predictions. Some analysts suggest that many news media outlets, including newspapers, will soon go the way of the dinosaur. Included in this view are expectations that journalism — or at least what will pass for journalism — increasingly will be dominated by highly specialized websites or those that cater to a narrow ideological bandwidth. For those of us who prefer a richer and more diverse journalistic experience, these assessments of the future are quite bleak. While an explosion of bloggers and other sources may create countless places to obtain information, trying to find the nuggets of truth and genuine insight amid all the dreck and drivel may prove to be a daunting task. But at the same time, other journalistic observers have more

optimistic expectations. While they acknowledge that challenges and uncertainty lie ahead, they believe that the public desire for real news and information will require meaningful journalism. In short, demand for news will create a supply. I don’t know for sure what the future holds for journalism. Ten years ago, I would not have envisioned many of the technological changes in the newspaper industry that are now commonplace. In my 30-plus years in the trade, we have gone from typewriters to personal computers and mobile devices. Digital cameras and video have replaced film. The deadlines and limitations of print news contend with a web that provides virtually instantaneous and boundless content. If nothing else, the evolution of journalism is sure to be interesting. That’s why young people who are interested in the field should not give up hope. Instead, they should take every advantage to learn as much as possible about journalism. The more prepared they are to understand change, the better able they will be to adapt to it. One way for high school juniors to do this is the Free Spirit Scholar-

ship Program. Established by Al Neuharth, founder of USA Today, the Free Spirit program is a conference in Washington, D.C., from July 9 to 14 at another Neuharth creation, the Newseum. Juniors who are actively pursuing a career in journalism can apply to receive an all-expensespaid trip to the nation’s capital to attend the conference, where assorted topics related to journalism are discussed. Plus, those selected will be awarded $1,000 scholarships. If this describes you, or if you know someone who might want to participate, applications are being accepted online at freespirit.org. The deadline to apply is Feb. 15. This is a great opportunity, in so many ways. Traveling to the nation’s capital and experiencing what it has to offer is a reward itself. The training, contacts and insights Free Spirit scholarship winners will receive is so much more. I urge young people who have the journalism itch to scratch it by applying for this program. I wish I could go with them. Mitchel Olszak writes for New Castle (Pa.) News. CNHI News Service distributes his column.

Deaths Gary Williams

Erna Jona MacDonnell

Brenda Cardenas

Erna Jona MacDonnell passed out of the lives of her family and friends on Feb. 6, 2011, at the age of 67. Erna was born May 21, 1943, in Reykjavik, Iceland, to Maria Stefansdottir and Edward H. Gartside. After graduating from the public schools in Iceland a year early, she completed her college MacDonnell studies in Norway and Sweden and graduated with a B.A. in liberal studies. She moved to the United States in 1964 (she became a naturalized American citizen in 1983) and worked as a purchasing agent in California for several technology firms, advancing to Senior Buyer. She met Ken MacDonnell, the love of her life, in San Mateo, Calif. They were married at the First Unitarian Church, Oklahoma City, on Feb. 21, 1981, settling in Norman a few months later, where she worked as a Senior Buyer for Shaklee from 1981-85. Erna worked at the OU Memorial Union catering service from 1991-99, and in 1999 transferred to the bakery at Couch Cafeteria at OU, retiring in 2004. Erna’s love of life and sense of adventure were her trademarks. Her striking natural beauty led to modeling work while still in Scandinavia, and her confident sense of style and fashion never diminished. She was a gourmet cook who not only mastered the art of preparing a tasty dish, but how to present a five-course dinner for two or for twenty. While living in California she was a member of the Experimental Aircraft Association, flew vintage aircraft, and attended national fly-ins in Oshkosh, Wis. She also enjoyed piloting her cabin cruiser around the San Francisco Bay area. After her retirement, she participated in the Osher Life-long Learning Institute at OU, attended the travel agent school at Norman Technology Center, and earned a Master Gardener certificate in 2007. Whether in the air, on land, or at sea, Erna had a gift for engaging in life with beguiling grace and effortless elegance. Her eye for the beauty around her never dimmed, and neither did her own. Her sense of humor, often sly and sometimes sparkling with absurdity, was always evident in her conversation, letters, and handmade cards. Then came the cancer. Erna, whose petite stature could not conceal her resolute character, was fond of saying about herself that “dynamite comes in small sticks.” She fought a courageous battle against this unrelenting opponent, armed with her own formidable combination of ample wit and abundant love, together with her Icelandic stoicism and stubbornness. The cancer could not rob her of her dignity; it only magnified it. When the battle was over, the lingering beauty of her smile and the lyrical notes of her laughter remained, to be cherished by her family and friends. Erna is survived by her husband, Ken MacDonnell; her stepson, Niall MacDonnell; her stepdaughter, Kolleen Quinlan and her husband Pat; her aunt, Gudny Stefansdottir; her niece, Vera Bjork Einarsdottir and her husband Dr. Hjalti Kristjansson; her cousin Olof Maria and her husband Dr. Randy Aschenbeck; and numerous cousins in Iceland. She is also survived by her mother and father-in-law, Wanda and Kenneth MacDonnell; her brothers and sisters-in-law, Kevin and Donna MacDonnell and Kyle and Debbie MacDonnell; and other nieces and nephews. Erna was preceded in death by her parents, and aunt, Ragnheidur Kristjansdottir. Erna’s family would like to express their profound gratitude to Dr. Robert Mannel and the devoted physicians and staff of the GYN Oncology Center at OU Medical Center; to Dr. Mehran Shahsavari, and the nurses, therapists, and staff of Norman Specialty Hospital; and to the many nurses, therapists, and staff of Grace Living Center of Norman, Accentra Home Health Services, and Loving Care Hospice of Noble. Special thanks are due to Dr. Ronnie Keith, whose professionalism and persistence led to a correct diagnosis of her condition that had baffled others. Finally, the family wants those who offered helping hands, consoling visits, and comforting calls and letters, to know that their caring shall never be forgotten. Erna’s memorial service, a celebration of her life, will be held on Valentine’s Day, Monday, Feb. 14, 2011, at 2 p.m. at the John Ireland Funeral Home, 120 South Broadway, Moore, Okla. Flowers and memorials may be sent to that address. Following the service there will be a reception at the Embassy Suites Hotel, 2501 Conference Drive, Norman.

Brenda Cardenas went to be with her Lord and Savior on Saturday, Feb. 5, 2011, in Norman, Okla. at the age of 60 years. Brenda was born on July 21, 1950, in Fort Hood, Texas, to E.P.

Cardenas and later married him on May 17, 1968, and began her family. Brenda was preceded in death by her parents and sister Linda Ozuna-Mortenson. She is survived by her husband; four sons, Quinn and wife Alicia, Lino and wife Terri, Christopher, Antonio C. and wife Rosa; sister Joyce Ann Johnson and husband Bill; niece Tanjah Murray and husband Ronnie; nephew Guale Ozuna; grandchildren, Nathan, Lauren, Jacob, McKenna, Brooke, Nicholas, Rosalinda, Daniel and Antonio A, many other nieces and nephews and a mother to all. Brenda worked at the O.U. Medical Center for 11 years as a Supervisor of Food Nutrition Services. She loved traveling and ministering, singing gospel music to Senior Citizens, her angels, coffee, Pepsi, smoking cigarettes, and don’t forget all of the Snoopy items.

In the year ahead it will be more important than usual to keep your financial affairs in good order. Try to run a tight ship, so that your funds will not be wasted in a Cavalier manner and you’ll find that the results will be rewarding as well. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Keep a cool head if you are being pressured to have closure on a project you started. If you move too impulsively, a mishap is likely that will set you back even further. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Don’t let the thoughtless behavior of a friend anger you. If you realize that everybody has bad moments at times, you might be able to get past this misstep and forgive and forget. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Just because somebody asks doesn’t mean you have to comply with this person’s wishes. Don’t let anybody pressure you into loaning out something you hold dear. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Making demands on someone else’s time or property could put you in a bad light with those who have to work with you. You might get what you want now, but at what price? GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Before losing your temper with someone, make sure it isn’t your own behavior that is out of line. It will only make you look worse if blow over selfishly wanting your own way. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Don’t feel compelled to respond to questions that are too personal or none of anybody’s business. Just because a friend is curious is not a good enough reason to comply. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Strive to keep your wits about you in all of your one-on-one dealings with others, especially if you have to deal with someone who is unduly hostile or argumentative. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - The least thing you should expect is automatic compliance if you are too bossy or dictatorial with any of your co-workers. If you want a favor, ask nicely. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Be careful not to get drawn into the thoughtless actions of a friend. This person could draw you into a situation where you’ll be held equally accountable for his/her reckless behavior. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Stick-to-itiveness is essential if you hope to be successful in what you attempt to do. If you’re not prepared to follow things through to the finish, don’t start the project. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - Be particularly attentive to any task you take on, especially those you consider to be routine. If you’re mind is not on what you’re doing, you could easily have a mishap. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Unless you closely monitor your financial affairs or the handling of a prized possession, a mishap could occur when you’re not looking. Protect what is yours.

Heavy snows and cold weather form ice dams on roofs, causing water-leak problems when the ice melts.

Cold winter causing ice dam problems CNHI News Service Record snowfall and subfreezing temperatures this winter have created ideal conditions for those dreaded ice dams atop roofs that cause water to leak into businesses and homes. Ice dams form when snow on a roof melts and then refreezes, creating a barrier to subsequent water flow. The water backs up under the roof shingles and into the building. “We’ve had at least 50 claims between Thursday of last week and today, virtually

all of them for ice dams,” said Jay Howlett, an insurance agent in Newburyport, Mass. Howlett said he could not recall a single claim last winter for damage caused by ice dams. To prevent ice dams, homeowners should clear snow from the edges of roofs when the temperature is just above freezing, and make sure attics are properly insulated, experts advise. They also recommend that if you contract with someone to break up ice dams, make sure they are licensed and insured.

Bradford still making it look easy

Sports

OU BASKETBALL: MEN, WOMEN BOTH BLOWN OUT

Rough night

he first time Sam Bradford formally met the media at one of Bob Stoops’ Tuesday press luncheons, it wasn’t so unlike Wednesday night at Lloyd Noble Center. It was unseasonably cold that day, too. There was anticipation in the air that day, too. He could not have Clay appeared any more Horning in his element Sports Editor that day, too. Even though his real element, the one he’s famous for, takes please between sidelines and goalposts. Once in Norman, now in St. Louis. But he was who he is. The Big Easy. So he was Wednesday, too. Only different. Oklahoma was playing host to Red River rival Texas and the Heisman Trophywinning quarterback was the honored guest. He may not have brought Jeff Capel and the boys any luck, but for the price-is-right, white-out crowd, that would only have been a grand bonus. The Sooner Nation stood and cheered, when he was introduced at the half, as though they’d come just to see him. And maybe they had. It wasn’t much. Just a montage of highlights on the scoreboard above the court. Bradford watched it with intensity. Nobody handed him a microphone, but maybe he was thinking about how much time he used to have in the pocket. He was the same, only different, because back on Oct. 23, 2007, his first turn behind the lectern, after Stoops turned over the mic, his hair was bushy, his shoes were flip-flops and he had his “aw, shucks” way about him. Wednesday, his hair was buzzed and his tones were more measured, like maybe the professional life demands caution. But it was still Sam Bradford. “I don’t have to go to class now. I just get to play football all day, so I think I’m very blessed. I got to work every day, I watch tape, I got to practice,” he said. “I call my friends and they’re, ‘Yeah, I was in the office from 9 to 5.’ And I’m like, ‘Wow, that’s miserable.’” The easiness remains. It is calm delivered by deep confidence. It is the flash-free bravado that makes others follow, as though they have no choice. It is the kind of makeup that produces a rookie season like the one Bradford just enjoyed. Leading the Rams to the brink of the playoffs, he started all 16 games, threw more touchdown passes (18) than interceptions (15) and for 3,512 yards at a 60 • See HORNING Page B3

b Waiting in the wings • Sooner pitching staff brings more than just Ricketts By Jeff Johncox Transcript Sports Writer

four quick points and coach Gary Blair took out his starters soon after that. Danielle Robinson scored 24 points to lead Oklahoma (17-6, 7-3), which couldn’t overcome poor shooting by the rest of the team. The Aggies, who got a 2-point win in Norman two weeks ago, retain sole possession of second place in the Big 12 with the victory. Texas A&M shot almost 52 percent from the field and 50 percent

Keilani Ricketts didn’t just earn starting pitching duties for Oklahoma last season as a freshman. She took them over. The tall lefty came in throwing heat, making batters look foolish, and only got better as the season went along. Eventually, she joined sister Samantha, a former Sooner herself, as an All-American. But as good as Ricketts is, she’s not the only horse in coach Patty Gasso’s stable. The Sooners have four strong pitchers who do very different things. All four are ready to go What: at a Oklahoma vs. Cal-State moment’s Bakersfield, notice. All four can Kajikawa Classic start. All Where: four can Tempe, Ariz. come out of Time: 7:30 the bullpen. p.m. Radio: None All four can close. Ricketts will get most of the action in the circle, but having sophomore Michelle Gascoigne and juniors Kirsten Allen and Allee Allen behind her ace gives Gasso multiple options and keeps her smiling. “What makes them so good is they’re all so different,” Gasso said. “Keilani is a power pitcher who can also change speeds. Michelle is crafty, with great ball movement. Allee is a little bit of both put together. Kirsten gives batters a different look from the right side. She can go in on righties. They all have different strengths that complement each other really well.” And while there’s a sense of competiveness among the foursome, there’s also respect and admiration. Not only do they complement each other, they compliment each other. There’s no rivalry. They push each other to be better, but there’s no animosity. Kirsten Allen and Allee Allen, along with Gascoigne, know their roles. “(Ricketts) is an outstanding pitcher,” Kirsten Allen said. “She’s great. To be a part of this team is a blessing. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I want to be here and I’m here to do my job every day. If it helps the team win, so much the better.” Kirsten Allen has seen some important action for the Sooners since coming to Norman two years ago. As freshmen, she and Allee Allen were asked

• Longhorns jump out to early double-digit lead, coast from there By John Shinn Transcript Sports Writer

An easy way to clear Norman’s snow-packed streets emerged Wednesday night: Let Texas walk around for a while. It was hot enough to melt anything. Oklahoma found that out early in its 68-52 loss to the third-ranked Longhorns at Lloyd Noble Center. The Longhorns only needed five minutes to build a double-digit lead. The deficit only grew from there.

Longhorns visited Norman. Fans did their part. More than 12,000 crammed into Lloyd Noble Center thanks to free admission and Sam Bradford appreciation night.

Super seating problem • Seatless fans file class-action lawsuit against NFL By Schuyler Dixon and Danny Robbins Associated Press

DALLAS — Ticket-holding football fans who ended up with no seats or what they considered bad views of the Super Bowl have filed a class-action lawsuit against the NFL, the Dallas Cowboys and team owner Jerry Jones. The federal lawsuit filed Tuesday in Dallas — just two days after the big game — alleges breach of contract, fraud and decep-

NFL tive sales practices on behalf of people who ended up watching the game on TV at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, or had seats the lawsuit labeled “illegitimate.” The NFL had announced just hours before the Green Bay Packers played the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday that about AP Photo 1,250 temporary seats were deemed unsafe, A section of temporary seats, that were deemed and the league scrambled to find new seats unsafe, remain empty before the start of Super Bowl • See NFL Page B3 XLV Sunday at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Around the Horn FOOTBALL

• Cowboys hire UNC assistant: CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — North Carolina says newly hired assistant coach Brian Baker is leaving to take a job with the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys. Baker will coach the Cowboys’ defensive line, the same position he had with the Tar Heels. The Tar Heels hired Baker in January as the permanent replacement for John Blake, who resigned in September after his close friendship with NFL agent Gary Wichard became part of the NCAA investigation into the football program. In a statement released by the school, Baker said the Cowboys “provided an opportunity I couldn’t refuse.”

HOCKEY

• Forsberg coming back: ST. PAUL, Minn. — Peter Forsberg’s debut with the Colorado Avalanche is still delayed because of visa issues. Forsberg was not with the team in Minnesota for Wednesday’s game against the Wild, but the Avalanche anticipate he’ll be able to play later this week. Forsberg signed with the team on Sunday for the remainder of the season. He’s returning to the NHL after a three-year hiatus. The former league MVP was playing in his native Sweden. • Leafs send Beauchemin to Ducks: TORONTO — Veteran defenseman Francois Beauchemin is returning to the Anaheim Ducks. The Toronto Maple Leafs shipped him to his former team Wednesday for rightwinger Joffrey Lupul, prospect Jake Gardiner and a conditional fourth-round draft pick in 2013. Beauchemin won a Stanley Cup with the Ducks in 2007 and has played in 55 playoff games with the team.

PREP BASEBALL

• Injured player back on field: KENTFIELD, Calif. — A California high school pitcher who was left clinging to life after being struck in the head with a line drive that came off a metal bat is back on the field. Gunnar Sandberg attended the Marin Catholic High School baseball team’s first practice of the season Monday. Sandberg, hit during a practice game last March, suffered a fractured skull and was placed in a medically induced coma because of brain swelling. The incident became a flashpoint in the debate over the safety of metal bats, with California lawmakers setting new safety standards for their use on high school teams.

TENNIS

• Ivanovic, Vinci, Peng advance: PATTAYA, Thailand — Ana Ivanovic rallied past American Jill Craybas 4-6, 6-1, 7-5 Wednesday in a secondround match at the Pattaya Open that was suspended 40 minutes because of an electrical failure. Third-seeded Maria Kirilenko of Russia squandered three match points in losing to Kazakh qualifier Galina Voskoboeva 1-6, 7-5, 6-4. Sixth-seeded Peng Shuai of China defeated Elena Baltacha of Britain 2-6, 6-1, 64. She will face the winner between top-seeded Vera Zvonareva and Nungnadda Wannasuk of Thailand. Ivanovic, the 2008 French Open champion, was a break down at 2-1 in the first set when the blackout occurred. In the second set, she reeled off five straight games to win 6-1. Ivanovic blew a 3-2 lead in the third but broke in 11th game. She will play fifthseeded Roberta Vinci, who beat Zhang Shuai 7-5, 6-1. • Nadal to resume training: MADRID — Topranked Rafael Nadal can train again after recovering from a leg injury sustained during his quarterfinal loss at the Australian Open. Nadal tore a muscle in his right leg during a straight-sets defeat to fellow Spaniard David Ferrer on Jan. 26. Nadal says his doctor has cleared him to return to the court. He’ll be preparing for Spain’s Davis Cup match against Belgium. The firstround series will be held March 4-6. — Wire Reports

Horning: Bradford returns • Continued from Page B1 percent (354 of 590) completion rate, even as he threw to a completely unremarkable receiving corps led by Danny Amendola, a very poor man’s Wes Welker. In a pregame media session, Bradford didn’t really make any news, but still he was interesting and insightful. The biggest difference between the college and pro game? It’s the relationships, he said. Win a game in college and you might celebrate it with 30 of your closest friends. The whole team was close. That’s just the way it was. Not so in the pros, where you might just have two friends like that. “In the NFL,” he said, “people come and go weekly.” He’s going to miss retiring Rams quarterback coach Dick Curl, and admits some frustration in the knowledge St. Louis will be moving from exoffensive coordinator Pat Shurmur’s West Coast scheme to fired Denver coach (and former New England offensive coordina-

The Longhorns (21-3, 90) shot 53 percent (25-for47) in winning their ninth straight game. The Sooners didn’t come close to matching the offensive output. Andrew Fitzgerald led OU with 16 points, but needed to take 16 shots and hit 4 of 6 free throws to do it. Steven Pledger added 13, but was just 5-for-12 from the field. Carl Blair added seven points and was credited with five of OU’s 10 assists. Cade Davis added eight points and freshman

But Shurmur, the new Cleveland coach, took a better job and, heck, Bradford said, he’s excited to get going with whatever it is McDaniel will be bringing to the Gateway City. He understands there may be an NFL lockout and if that happens, well, he’s just going to have get as many Rams together as he can to work on things amongst themselves. Really, if it comes to that, it

won’t be very different at all from life as the Sooner quarterback. He enjoys St. Louis, but this is still home. “I’m living in Norman right now,” he said when asked about a rumor he might be moving into Kevin Durant’s Gaillardia neighborhood in Oklahoma City, “and I have a feeling it’s going to stay that way.” It is a different life. But it’s the same Sam Bradford. Clay Horning 366-3526 cfhorning@normantranscript.com

Tyler Neal tossed in six points to go along with a team-high seven rebounds. The Sooners shot just 32 percent (18-for-56) from the field. There was no way they were going to score an upset without getting hot. They started the game cold and stayed that way. Texas took its first double-digit lead on Tristan Thompson’s dunk with 15:50 left in the first half. The Sooners never got any closer in losing their second straight game. It doesn’t get any easier. The Sooners face No. 19 Missouri at 12:30 p.m. Saturday in Columbia, Mo.

Women: Aggies blow out OU • Continued from Page B1 on 3-pointers. The Aggies made nine 3-pointers, including two in a row from Adams early in the second half. The nine 3-pointers were just one off Texas A&M’s season high. Oklahoma shot under 34 percent overall and just 20 percent from long range as the Sooners dropped their second game in three outings. The Aggies got 17 points from Sydney Carter and a season-high tying 15 points and 10 rebounds from Adaora Elonu as they won their fourth straight over Oklahoma. The Sooners cut the lead to 14 points with about 12 minutes remaining, but Texas A&M used a 14-1

spurt over the next three minutes to push the lead to 76-49. The Aggies led by six points about five minutes into the game before using a 20-7 run to extend the lead to 34-15 nine minutes before halftime. Texas A&M had three 3-pointers to fuel that spurt. They did it without Adams, who got her second foul just before the spurt began and had to watch from the bench. She returned to the game about five minutes before halftime and scored six points and the Aggies led 46-30 at the break. Robinson was 6 of 8 and had 16 points in the first half but the rest of the team was terrible, going a combined 5 for 27 before halftime.

for about 850 people. The remaining 400 were forced to watch from standing-room locations around the stadium. One plaintiff is a Steelers fan from Pennsylvania who was among the 400 with a ticket but no seat. The other is a Cowboys season ticket holder who claims many of Jones’ biggest-spending fans were stuck in metal folding chairs without a view of the stadium’s giant video board. Spokesmen for the Cowboys and the NFL had no comment Wednesday. Los Angeles-based attorney Michael J. Avenatti said he expects the suit to cover about 1,000 people. “No one is attempting to get rich from this,” he said. “People are merely interested in being compensated for what happened (at the stadium) and the cost that goes with that.” Avenatti said he’s a Cowboys season ticket holder who attended Sunday’s game. He said he wasn’t one of the fans affected by the seating issues but heard plenty of complaints. “People at the game were disgusted, but it doesn’t take long to be disgusted with a situation like this,” he said. Avenatti said Steve Simms, the Steelers fan named in the lawsuit, was so put off by trying to watch the game from standing-room areas that he left at halftime. Mike Dolabi, the Cowboys season ticket holder in the lawsuit, is among a group called “Founders” who paid $100,000 per seat just for the right to buy tickets. Those socalled personal seat licenses resulted in more than $100 million in revenue for Jones, according to the lawsuit, which seeks $5 million in damages. Some of those fans were in temporary seats under overhangs and couldn’t see the giant video board above the field, “which defendant Jones and the Cowboys routinely claim is one of the most unique and best features of Cowboys Stadium,” the lawsuit said. They could see the field, and extra TVs were installed in those areas. “You were effectively in a bat cave,” Avenatti said. “You don’t take your 400 best customers and treat them like that.” The lawsuit alleges the Cowboys have offered no compensation to their ticket holders for “their obstructed and illegitimate seats.” The NFL has said the roughly 400 fans without seats have two options. The first is a ticket to next year’s Super Bowl and a cash payment of $2,400, three times the face value of the ticket. The second is a ticket to any future Super Bowl, along with round-trip airfare and hotel accommodations. The Packers beat the Steelers 31-25 in the Super Bowl.

to shore up the pitching staff along with senior AllAmerican D.J. Mathis. Mathis battled injuries all year long, and both Kirsten Allen and Allee Allen saw more action then either probably anticipated. Kirsten Allen finished 98 with a 2.79 earned run average. Allee Allen started her career on a roll at 12-1, and finished the 2009 season 14-4 with a 2.80 ERA. Both saw less action last season. Allee Allen struggled with a shoulder injury and went 2-1 with a 1.05 ERA. Kirsten Allen shared time behind Ricketts with Gascoigne and went 6-1 with a 1.66 ERA. Gascoigne, meanwhile, came in strong as a freshman, finishing 7-0 with a 1.92 ERA and by the end of the season was matching Ricketts almost strikeout for strikeout in her starts. “We felt that late in the year, that’s when both of them really got better,” Gasso said. “Pitchers, it really takes a year to get it worked out. For (Gascoigne and Ricketts) to get it working in their freshman year, we’re really excited about that.” “We’re the grandmas,” Allee Allen said. No longer the freshmen behind the senior, Allee Allen and Kirsten Allen are the veterans on the staff. They’re not only backing up Ricketts, but teaching, passing on lessons they’ve learned the past two years. “You have to be mentally ready, warm at any time,” Allee Allen said. “Everyone’s fighting for positions. You always have to be on your toes.” Yes, the Sooners have their ace. Ricketts will be the focus and gain most of the attention. But Gasso and pitching coach Melyssa Lombardi know they have some special players waiting in the wings. “Our chemistry as a team is outstanding,”

Kirsten Allen said. “But as a pitching staff, it’s even stronger. We’re always there to pick each other up. No matter who’s having a bad day, someone’s there to get your back. That’s what makes it so special. We’re always there for each other.” Gasso calls it a team within the team. Her four pitchers are always ready to do whatever is asked of them. Almost always, they do a great job. K. Allen Not only do opponents have to worry about Ricketts, they have to worry about the rest of the A. Allen staff. “That’s what’s so great about this group of four,” Gasso said. “They’re kind of compet- Gascoigne ing against each other for pitching time, but they’re very supportive. They root for each other.” The Sooners see their first action of the season today at 7:30 p.m. in the Kajikawa Classic in Tempe, Ariz. OU takes on Cal-State Bakersfield to open the new season, something every Sooner is excited about. “I’m so pumped,” Allee Allen said. “I’ve been looking forward to it for months now, to go out there and see some people I konw and kick off this season with a bang.” Jeff Johncox 366-3535 jjohncox@normantranscript.com

Alder on Bridge Thursday, Feb. 10, 2011 By Phillip Alder Michael Crichton, who was best known as an author of science fiction, medical fiction and thrillers, said, “I am certain there is too much certainty in the world.” At the bridge table, I am certain it is best to find a line of play or defense that is a certainty. Can you see one here? You are in six spades. West leads the heart seven. East’s opening bid showed a good seven-card suit and some 6-10 highcard points. You might have overcalled three notrump, expecting to be able to keep East out of the game by holding up your heart ace. But bidding your good suit could not be considered an error. Here it hit a big fit with partner, who used two doses of Blackwood before signing off in six spades. A good line is to draw the missing trump, ruff a heart in the dummy, cash the club ace, play a club to your king, ruff your last heart, cash the diamond ace, lead a trump to your hand, and play a diamond to dummy’s queen. Here, though, East would win

with his king and return his last diamond — down one. However, there is a certainty. After drawing the trump, ruffing one heart, and cashing the two club winners, do not ruff your third heart. Instead, discard the diamond five from the board. East takes the trick but is endplayed. If he returns a diamond, it is away from his king into dummy’s ace-queen. And if he leads a heart or a club, South ruffs in one hand and sluffs his diamond loser from the other hand. Copyright 2011, United Feature Syndicate

Nation Feds: 38 guns found at mob fugitive’s home BOISE, Idaho — Federal prosecutors say they seized dozens of firearms and $15,000 in cash from the southwestern Idaho home of a man wanted for years for trying to kill a New England mob boss. Enrico M. Ponzo, 42, appeared in federal court in Boise Wednesday, two days after he was arrested on charges from a 1997 indictment accusing him and 14 others of racketeering, attempted murder and conspiracy to kill rivals. During his arrest Monday, FBI agents said they seized 38 firearms, cash and a 100-ounce bar of either gold or silver.

New drilling method opens vast oil fields in United States A new drilling technique is opening up vast fields of previously out-of-reach oil in the western United States. Companies are investing billions of dollars to get at oil deposits scattered across North Dakota, Colorado, Texas and California. By 2015, oil executives and analysts say, the new fields could yield as much as 2 million barrels of oil a day. Oil engineers are applying what critics say is an environmentally questionable method developed in recent years to tap natural gas trapped in underground shale. They drill down and horizontally into the rock, then pump water, sand and chemicals into the hole to crack the shale and allow gas to flow up.
