OU, NPS cancel classes

By Nanette Light And Meghan McCormick Transcript Staff

Most Norman residents heeded warnings Tuesday to stay home out of the snow. Calls for help were quiet most of the day, police and fire officials in Norman said.

“It is dangerous and potentially deadly,” said Capt. Tom Easley of the Norman Police Department of the white-covered grounds Oklahomans woke up to Tuesday.

Snow continued throughout most of Tuesday, tapering off after noon. OU canceled classes Wednesday. CART buses and CART access vans suspended operations Wednesday. Norman Public Schools also canceled classes Wednesday.

The crux, however, was the falling temperature, coupled with wind gusts of 40 miles per hour.

“It’s pretty bitterly cold,” said Marc Austin, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service of temperatures that were predicted to fall into the lower single digits Tuesday night with wind chills in the negative teens.

Austin said snow reports Tuesday varied from 2.5 to 8 inches. At noon Tuesday, the National Weather Service measured 5.2 inches, the last measurement taken before press time.

“It’s pretty variable over a relatively small area,” Austin said.

According to city officials, street crews worked 12-hour shifts around the clock clearning roads for most of the day.

Official snow routes can be viewed on the city of Norman website at http://www.ci.norman.ok.us/ Stranded motorists were able to seek shelter at Riverwind Casino and the Holiday Inn, 1000 N. Interstate Drive, according to a news release from the city.

The motel provided discounted rooms and cots for those unable to pay for a room. If people cannot afford a room, cots will be set-up.

Easley said police, who operated in two-man units, responded only to emergency situations and patrolled for stranded motorists.

“Stay at home. Do not get out in this,” he said, adding that calls to assist drivers peaked at 7 a.m. and leveled off shortly after.

Easley said several police vehicles were equipped with a set of snow tires, and patrol supervisors used four-wheel drive vehicles.

Cleveland County Undersheriff Rhett Burnett said deputies patroled their districts Tuesday and responded to emergency and non-emergency calls.

All county offices were closed Tuesday, he said.

According to OG&E’s System Watch, there were no power outages in the Norman area as • Please see SNOW on page A2

County crews working 24/7 to clear roadways

By Peggy Laizure The Transcript

Although the Cleveland County Courthouse was closed Tuesday, county crews were out all night Monday and early Tuesday trying to clear section line roads.

County Commissioner Rusty Sullivan said his crews would be out in the southern part of the county “24/7 until this clears up.”

“We’ve been out all night grating and sanding but the wind blows over everything we’ve done,” Sullivan said.

Commissioner Rod Cleveland said the same thing.

“As quick as we plow it off, it blows back on,” Cleveland said.

Cleveland is commissioner

of District 1 which covers the northern part of the county.

He has had a grader and two plows running all day Tuesday. His crews began sanding bridges about 11 Monday night.

“It started snowing about 4 a.m. and we cut back about 6,” Cleveland said.

Cleveland is glad people heeded the warnings of the last three days, he said.

“There’s not a whole lot of cars out.”

George Skinner, commissioner of District 2 said his crews were split up Monday so they wouldn’t work around the clock.

“They’re saying this should Shana Adkisson / The Transcript break about noon and then we will hit it hard and get a grip on Snow drifts into the front walkway of a home in Moore. this,” Sullivan said Tuesday.

The extremely cold temperatures Norman residents will be experiencing the next few days will cause dozens of frozen water pipes in homes and businesses. Weather forecasts for the next several days call for a continuation of the freezing weather.

The City of Norman advises Norman residents to prepare for the freezing temperatures, if they haven’t already done so. To help avoid problems due to frozen water lines here are some tips to follow when the temperature dips below freezing this winter: • Make sure no pipes are exposed to outside temperatures. Pipes that freeze most often are exposed to severe cold such as outdoor hose bibs, swimming pool supply lines and water sprinkler lines. These areas can be protected by pipe insulation designed for this specific purpose and sold at most hardware stores.

• Leave interior cupboard doors under sinks open. This is especially important if the water pipes are adjacent to an exterior wall. This

will allow heat from the room to reach the pipes.

• Let a thin stream of cold water run from a faucet.

The stream should be a continuous flow about the thickness of a pencil. An unheated interior area such as a basement, attic or crawl space can freeze without activity. The flow of water will help prevent these areas from freezing. If the pipes in these areas are exposed it is a good idea to insulate the pipes.

A couple of things to know if experiencing frozen pipes are: • Determine where the water shut-off valve is in your house and how to use it in the event the pipes burst as a result of freezing. This may help prevent flooding once the water thaws.

• If you are experiencing flooding and you cannot get the water supply turned off, call the City of Norman Line Maintenance Division to turn the water off at the meter. To contact them between 8 a.m. – 5 p.m., Monday – Friday, call 329-0703.

From 5 p.m. – 8 a.m. Monday – Friday and on the weekends, call 321-1600.

Our view • CORRECTIONS

Alternatives to prison long overdue in state Oklahoma prison costs have increased more than 30 percent in the last decade, mostly because of years of legislative mandates to increase penalties for criminal behavior, establish more felony crimes and put more criminals behind bars.

The tough-on-crime approach has now met the budget deficit headon, writes the Associated Press’ Capitol Correspondent Sean Murphy. House Speaker Kris Steele is expected this week to announce a series of legislative measures aimed at diverting offenders from prison and pushing more paroles.

It’s long overdue.

Lawmakers routinely add crimes to the “85 percent” rule, meaning an offender must serve 85 percent of the sentence before he or she can be even eligible for parole. That’s forcing prisons to keep inmates for longer periods of time. Some of the fastest growing units in our prisons are the geriatric units.

State prisons are at near capacity. Hundreds of inmates are backed up in county jails, waiting transport to available beds in state-run or state-

contracted facilities.

Oklahoma has about 26,000 inmates in prisons compared to 22,600 in 2000. The corrections department’s budget has grown from $366 million in 2000 to $483 million last year. Budget cuts have reduced or eliminated treatment programs aimed at keeping inmates from returning to prison once they eventually get out.

Lawmakers are known to short fund the department, hoping to come back the next year and make up with emergency funds. Now, the department says it needs $9 million in emergency funding to prevent guards from taking more unpaid days off beginning next month.

A program put forth last year is helping divert more of Oklahoma’s female offenders from prison. Lawmakers need to model treatment and diversion programs after successful ventures in Texas and other states. There are alternatives to incarceration that are working elsewhere.

Voters want lawmakers to be tough on crime, but anymore they want them to be smart on crime, too.

I can’t believe he understands The mess that he’s about to make.

He puts the heavens in confusion By changing each Zodiac date And adding 13th sign Ophiuchus — Even the name is one to hate.

Thanking lucky stars to be born, Most people love their sign.

Why put “identity crisis” on a world That’s got “enough already” on its mind?

However, I have just decided We don’t need to be forlorn; The stars were surely lined up right Back in the time when we were born.

U.S. must get on right side in Egypt

By Trudy Rubin The Philadelphia Inquirer

If you want to understand the Egyptian uprising and how U.S. officials should respond, let me take you back to the pro-democracy demonstrations I witnessed in Cairo in 2005.

Middle-class protesters went to the streets then, too, demanding free elections. But the government of President Hosni Mubarak — tarring all opposition as radical Islamists — surrounded them with police in Darth Vader helmets and shields.

I spoke with professional women who had been beaten and groped by police, and with young women journalists whom security agents had threatened to jail on prostitution charges. I interviewed a conservative judge who was furious because the government had forbidden the judiciary to monitor Egypt’s first contested presidential election. “If we had an independent judiciary and fair elections, everything would change,” I was told by Judge Hesham el-Bastawi. The judge later had a heart attack after being threatened by the regime.

I interviewed Egyptians in a working-class slum who complained bitterly about economic conditions, before a burly plainclothes cop snatched and ripped up my notebook; he threatened to punch me when I tried to grab the notes back.

Those 2005 demonstrations were small but were a preview of today’s drama. Instead of encouraging a middle-class opposition, the regime crushed it, rigging 2010 parliamentary elections so boldly that the governing party won nearly all seats.

The current revolt is far larger, inspired by the rebellion in Tunisia.

Egypt’s demonstrators are linked not by clear leadership but by cell phones, Facebook, and Twitter (which the regime blocked on Tuesday).

The source of this Egyptian revolt is not Islam, nor is it simply poverty and unemployment. “This is not only about economics,” says Marwan Muasher, a former deputy prime minister of Jordan who fought for political reforms in his country

and is an astute Mideast observer.

“Most of the slogans are about governance,” Muasher says.

“People are fed up with the corruption.”

Egyptian demonstrators — mostly young, often collegeeducated, and jobless — want a reason to hope for their future. They watch bitterly as privileged Egyptians grow rich from corrupt regime ties. They have no voice in the system and no chance of replacing a frozen governing party whose leader has held power for 29 years.

That’s why they are calling for Mubarak to go. “Until Arab leaders are willing to put countries on a sustained reform process, and to share power, things will get worse,” says Muasher, now a vice president at the Carnegie Endowment in Washington.

Serious reform, he says, means “a serious parliament, serious electoral laws, a serious political opening, with no restrictions on political parties.” He says Islamist groups, with their strong following, must be permitted to run so long as they commit to “peaceful means and peaceful rotation of power.”

If people in Egypt and elsewhere in the region could see a serious reform process put in place, “they would be willing to wait,” Muasher says. “But things like bringing sons to power are out,” he emphasizes, referring to Mubarak’s reputed plan to have his son Gamal succeed him as president.

The Obama administration has had understandable trouble figuring out a response to the uprising, for the same reasons the Bush White House backed off its early support for Egyptian democracy activists.

Egypt is a vital ally in fighting Islamist terrorists and in curtailing the spread of Iranian power. Cairo has a peace treaty with Israel and has worked with Washington to curb Hamas Islamists in Gaza and push for the renewal of IsraeliPalestinian talks.

Moreover, the Egyptian revolt has no clear leadership; its titular head, former U.N. official and Nobel laureate Mohamed ElBaradei, only just returned to Egypt and has few deep links to the protesters. He is

now under house arrest.

The best-organized opposition group is the Muslim Brotherhood (although it has not led this upheaval). This raises U.S. fears about a future Islamist government in the region’s largest country. A newly elected Egyptian regime might be anti-American, upending U.S. policy in the Mideast.

Yet the march of Egyptian history won’t wait. Calls by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and President Obama for nonviolence, and their pleas for Mubarak to engage the opposition, have been outpaced by events. The United States is behind the curve.

The moderate middle-class demonstrators I met in 2005 were ready for engagement with Mubarak, but he blew it. Today’s rebels might accept a serious dialogue that led to a free vote.

But the Egyptian president isn’t listening. His appointment of a new government, and (for the first time) of a vice president, intelligence chief Omar Suleiman, won’t satisfy protesters. They want Mubarak out.

The big question now: Will Egypt’s army, which is still popular (unlike the police), mount a coup that ushers in a transitional government? That would permit time for the organization of new, nonIslamist parties and new elections within a reasonable time.

The Obama team is correct not to call openly for Mubarak’s exit. But there must be an unequivocal U.S. message conveyed to Mubarak and to his military — both publicly and privately — that the White House endorses Egyptians’ call for serious dialogue that leads to free elections.

This will not be an American diktat. The Egyptian drama will produce a new leadership sooner or later no matter the U.S. message.

But a clear U.S. position might help make the transition more peaceful and put Washington on the right side.

Act 1, Scene 1, real life

T

UPELO, Miss. — You have to find yourself in one of the characters to really enjoy a

play.

In “The Dixie Swim Club,” a poignant comedy, I identified with Dinah, who knew exactly what she was doing professionally but traditionally made a mess of most things personal.

The play is about five women who bond on a college swim team and, for decades afterward, meet at a cozy cottage on a North Carolina beach once a year to compare notes. Director Cheryl Sproles let me watch dress rehearsal because — you guessed it — I was headed to the beach to meet with college friends the weekend the play opened. I would miss the official performances.

I loved it. Actresses Renee Baldwin, Merrie Hughes, Lisa Kimes, Lynn Nelson and Robin Haire aged convincingly and comically over three acts and 33 years. It was theater as good as I’ve seen in New York, even minus a full audience.

The characters were the usual suspects that emerge whenever writers depict women. There was the sex kitten, the serious career woman, the incorrigible organizer, the mother with nothing but bad

Rheta Grimsley Johnson

children and luck, and the innocent who needs the others to take care of her.

Never mind that in real women you usually get all of these qualities rolled into one person. It makes for better theater to divvy up personalities and quirks.

In the end, Dinah dies. Somebody has to. Never the one you’re set up to expect to die. That’s not how drama works.

While there were no pregnant nuns or mothers with sons in jail at the beach party I attended, you could make the case that life was following art. My friends and I sat on a veranda overlooking a Mississippi back bay, and I kept thinking it wouldn’t be that hard to write a play about our group. Hmmm.

There were five women at our beach house, though our ages ranged from 56 to 82 and we didn’t

all meet at school. I’d also have to work a couple of men and a dinner guest or two into my plot, but, for play purposes, they’re extraneous.

Betty could be the organizer, the team captain if you will. A diplomatturned-contractor, her life’s been interesting enough to warrant its own play. And if you were casting a movie that naturally followed such a wonderful stage production, there’d be no question. Jane Fonda would have to be Betty.

Janie, the academic and scientist, would get all the sage lines. She identifies all the flora and fauna and shows us how to call up the owls.

Put in a call to Debra Winger.

Sandy would play the innocent.

She has that vulnerability that makes us all want to meddle and fix things up for her. A Mary-Louise Parker type.

I don’t think I’m objective enough to cast myself, but I wouldn’t holler if Jessica Lange was available. If not, we could check with Meryl Streep.

It’s going to take an actress with lots of range.

Cornelia — who, at age 82, outlasts, outdrinks and, play or no play, entertains us all — definitely would be the comic relief. She could play herself.

Veterans Corner There were more veterans seeking assistance last Thursday morning than we could accommodate. The staff of volunteers can work the first 140 or so people who have picked up a sign-in sheet from the stand at the front door of the Goldsby Community Building. I would like to be able to help everyone who shows up seeking assistance if it were possible. If you were one of those who were asked to come back the next week, try to be here earlier. The sign-in sheets will be available by 5:30 a.m. for those of you who arrive early. Last week, they were all gone by shortly after 7 a.m. With these new hours, everyone arrives around the same time which is causing some confusion for the volunteers who are trying to sort everyone out. Be prepared to wait since the doors will not be opened for business until 8 a.m.

Last week, I worked one of the local WW II Army Veterans who arrived in Okinawa in 1945 and ended up being part of the occupation of Japan for a year after the war was over.

He continued to serve the country while many of his friends were able to return to their families. I doubt that he received the type of hero’s welcome that the first group of returning veterans did. He said that when he returned many of the jobs were already taken. Every one of these men who I visit with has a

different story to relate.

Speaking of stories, have you visited with Kami Day about your experiences in the military? She continues to interview all veterans who would like to participate.

We were able to process 145 veterans and four widows last Thursday morning. Of those numbers, four were rated at 100 percent, 16 were rated from 10 percent to 80 percent by the Regional VA office in Muskogee. There also were 31 who were here to file their first claim, with the rest seen for follow up visits. One of those who stopped by to visit said he was recently rated at the 80 percent rate and with tears in his eyes said that we had helped to change his life for the better.

Many of the men and women whom we have helped to receive VA benefits did not have enough to eat and were not able to afford their medications. I feel that we are making a difference in the community. If you have a veteran could use help, bring him or her to us. As you know, all of the staff volunteers each Thursday morning to help those veterans and their families who have supported the great nation from WWII to the present conflicts. The number of younger veterans who are seeking help from us continues to increase as more of them are rotated back home. I try to stress the importance of the local Veteran’s

Center in Oklahoma City. The facility has counselors who are available to each veteran, male and Graham female. If you need a place to start the healing process, please see these folks or visit with us and we will help you to make contact with them. I went through some of their programs that were offered for the Vietnam veterans 20 years ago. I felt then and now that we all need to a little help every now and then after returning from war.

The Veterans Memorial committee met with the Goldsby Mayor Cindy Scott last week. Harold Harvell provided drawings showing proposed Phase 3 addition of a POW monument on one side of the memorial with a MIA monument on the other.

We are confident that the town board will approve these additions. We also would like to find the person who owns the land just south of the memorial.

The committee would like to have enough to place a Fighter Aircraft on a static display for all to be able to view. Billy Atkins, Harold Harvell and myself are on the committee. We may never have one, but we surely enjoy planning for the memorial. The Town of Goldsby will soon install two benches close to the

memorial that were donated by Veterans Corner. With the addition of these the memorial will continue to be a must see for visitors. Harold can be reached at 596-8755.

The benevolence fund was used last week to support several local veterans and their families. Sid Smith continues to make food baskets from the inventory each week.

He will have to go shopping again to replenish the supply. One of the neighbors helped with a donation of canned goods the other day. Ray Harden continues to manage the funds that are used to support Veterans Corner.

That guy is as tight as the bark on a tree when it comes to managing these funds. If you would like to support us as we help others call Ray at 4086950. We are a 501-(3)(c) non- profit and all donations are tax deductible.

Clayton Lee said the Chevy van that he uses to provide transportation for those veterans in need is doing great. If you need a ride to your VA appointment call Clayton at 6848860.

For all of your questions and assistance about veterans’ benefits, we are at the Goldsby Community Center each Thursday.

Doors open at 8 a.m.

Please be there early for us to help you with your claim. We do the best to process each one in a timely manner but be

Should be no surprises • Sooner squad expecting commitments to sign today

By John Shinn Transcript Sports Writer

Oklahoma isn’t expecting any drama today.

When the faxes start rolling in on National Signing Day, it expects to receive at least 16 letters of intent to go along with three who have already signed scholarship agreements and enrolled at OU, and are already attending classes.

However, there could be one potential surprise.

SoonerScoop.com reported Monday that Bennett Okotacha, a cornerback from Coppell, Texas, is still deciding between the Sooners and Notre Dame. Okotacha had given a verbal committed to the Fighting Irish, but appears to be considering signing with OU. The rest of the class has been committed since the summer. In some cases, recruits have been that way for over a year.

It has allowed the Sooner coaching staff to spend the last month looking at juniors. That push to get the class committed early could have a huge payoff in the 2012 recruiting class.

“Anytime that you have an opportunity to get so many guys in the fold early, it gives you that much of a leg up on not only trying to round out the class, but you start really targeting and pursuing the guys for the class of 2012,” ESPN recruiting analyst Tom Luginbill said.

Baylor’s Brittney Griner (42) celebrates the 64-51 win over Texas Tech after their win Saturday in Waco, Texas.

Griner scored 25 points in the win.

the conference and the nation with 4.9 blocked shots per game, while also grabbing 8 rebounds per game. Also, hitting 74.7 percent of her free throws, sending her to the free throw line doesn’t appear to be a terrific strategy either.

Last season, in two games against the Sooners, a 57-47 Baylor win at Waco and a 6260 overtime Sooner victory at

Despite offers from other schools, Westmoore’s Tyler Newton has decided he wants to stay around Oklahoma a little bit longer. The 6-foot-4, 240-pound defensive end committed to the University of Central Oklahoma in Edmond.

“I just went up there, I liked the coaching staff,” Newton said. “I liked the guys on the team. It just felt like the right place for me.”

Newton will make that commitment official this afternoon on National Signing Day. He will join thousands of young men across the country who will sign National Letters of Intent to play college football.

Newton had other options besides UCO that includes Central Arkansas and Air Force. For a while he was leaning toward the Falcons, but changed his mind after visiting the Broncos.

• It’s no secret, the Sooner women will have to stop Griner to stop Bayor

By Clay Horning Transcript Sports Editor

Assuming they make it to the game, the 13th-ranked Oklahoma women will meet No. 1 Baylor at Ferrell Center tonight.

Scheduled to leave their customary day before the tip, the Sooners instead spent Tuesday night in Norman, hopeful they would be able to fly into Waco, Texas, follow-

ing Tuesday afternoon’s practice at Lloyd Noble Center.

Assuming their travel plans go well, they’ll be involved in on of the nation’s marquee games of the night and one of the conference’s marquee games of the season.

Baylor is worthy of its No. 1 ranking.

The Bears’ only loss came to then-No. 1 Connecticut, by a point, in Hartford. Also, along the way, Baylor has

beaten Michigan State, Notre Dame, Tennessee, Iowa State and Texas A&M, all of which are currently ranked Nos. 11, 8, 5, 20 and 6.

Of course, the player everybody must have a gameplan for, as though there might be a way to do it effectively, is 68 sophomore superstar center Britney Griner.

Griner is second in the conference in scoring at 21.9 points per game, and leads

• Timberwolves seek $155M to renovate: MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Timberwolves and the city of Minneapolis are teaming up on a proposal that seeks $155 million to renovate Target Center.

Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor, Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak and City Council President Barbara Johnson were expected to unveil the plan later Tuesday, but its details were revealed on a website that was publicly accessible ahead of their news conference.

It calls for a complete remodel of the 21-year-old building. It would shift the main entrance to the corner of 6th Street and First Avenue, add two large glass atriums and another restaurant that overlooks Target Plaza. It would also completely remodel the inside to make the building more attractive to traveling concerts and shows.

There’s no specific plan to pay for it just yet. The website said the Timberwolves would help, but didn’t say how much.

• Ellis looks to end Warriors’ All-Star drought: OAKLAND, Calif. — Monta Ellis wants to redecorate the Golden State Warriors practice facility.

There’s a banner that stretches above the floor and honors every All-Star in franchise history, and the sixth-year guard figures it’s long overdue for an addition.

In what is by far the NBA’s longest drought, the Warriors haven’t had an All-Star since Latrell Sprewell in 1997.

Ellis might be the best chance the Warriors have had in years to make the squad.

He is No. 6 in the league in points (25.1), first in minutes played (41.1) and is averaging a career-high 5.6 assists per game.

All that might still leave Ellis at home when the game’s elite take the floor in Los Angeles for the All-Star game Feb. 20 with Golden State (20-27) headed for another losing season.

HOCKEY

• Avalanche-Blues game postponed because of weather: ST. LOUIS — The NHL game in St. Louis between the Colorado Avalanche and Blues scheduled for Tuesday night has been postponed because of severe weather conditions.

The Blues say the NHL will determine a makeup date.

The game would have been the first since the All-Star break for both teams.

Missouri has been hit hard by potentially the worst winter storm in decades, and the city was socked in by a mix of snow, freezing rain and dangerously cold temperatures.

• NHL’s Buffalo Sabres announce sale of team: BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Buffalo Sabres say owner Tom Golisano has agreed to sell the National Hockey League franchise and its related companies to Pennsylvania businessman Terry Pegula.

The team says the agreement was completed Tuesday afternoon and is subject to NHL approval.

Golisano isn’t willing to say anything more about the impending sale until Thursday, when he’ll hold a press conference with managing partner Larry Quinn.

Pegula is the founder and former president of the energy company East Resources Inc., which was sold last year to Royal Dutch Shell PLC for $4.7 billion.

AUTO RACING

• Andretti hires Conway: INDIANAPOLIS — Michael Andretti’s IndyCar team has added Mike Conway as its fourth driver for the 2011 season.

Andretti Autosports made the official announcement Tuesday, though the team has not named a primary sponsor for Conway’s car.

The 27-year-old English native drove for Dreyer & Reinbold in 2010 but missed the final four months of the season after a frightening crash late in last year’s Indianapolis 500. He had multiple fractures in his lower left leg and a compression fracture in his back.

He will join three Americans on Andretti’s team — Marco Andretti, Ryan HunterReay and Danica Patrick.

Pacers keep Bird as pres.

Ice is shoveled from a walkway outside Cowboys Stadium, the home of Sunday’s Super Bowl 45, early Tuesday in Arlington, Texas.

Another ice bowl?

• Super Bowl week off to freezing start in North Texas

By Schuyler Dixon Associated Press

FORT WORTH, Texas — 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.

“The show goes on,” Aiello wrote. “Media day is on schedule. Drive carefully.”

The news was a little more tenuous for travelers: DallasFort Worth International Airport was closed for about an hour due to the storm, and primary tenant American Airlines canceled 800 flights

Pittsburgh vs. Green Bay Time: 5:30 p.m. Sunday Place: Cowboys Stadium TV: KOKH-25 (Cox 12)

— 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 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.

“We’ll see what the NFL thinks of our response,” he said. “I don’t think the question is we will never have a Super Bowl again in a town that has had weather or the potential for bad weather because I think they want to showcase the investment they’ve made in their stadiums.”

INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Pacers have replaced their coach, but they’ll keep team president Larry Bird at least through the season.

Owner Herb Simon told The Associated Press on Tuesday that he believes Bird has performed well under difficult circumstances, and he could be back next year. On Sunday, the Pacers fired coach Jim O’Brien and replaced him with assistant coach Frank Vogel.

“I still have an incredible amount of confidence in Larry and his basketball acumen, his winning tradition,” Simon said. “The way he deals with the basketball side is the way I believe it should be done. I’m very satisfied.”

Some fans have grown restless because the Pacers

have missed the playoffs for four straight seasons.

Many have been critical of Bird, an Indiana native and former Boston Celtics star.

Bird took full control of basketball decisions after the 2007-08 season, when former CEO Donnie Walsh left to become the New York Knicks’ president.

The Pacers went 36-46 in 2008-09 and 32-50 in 200910.

The Pacers have an 1827 record this season, 17 games behind the Eastern Conference-leading Celtics.

Bird was hired as team president in 2003 and shared in basketball decisions with Walsh. He arrived before the infamous brawl between Pacers players and Pistons fans in 2004. Later, several players had problems with the law, and the team decided to make talentdepleting trades.

LeBron didn’t forget Orlando’s summer criticism

By Tim Reynolds AP Sports Writer

MIAMI — LeBron James gave a sympathetic nod to his past, then looked eagerly toward his immediate future.

First, quiet words of support for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Then, a not-so-subtle message sent to the Orlando Magic.

So when the Heat next play Thursday at the Magic, chances are it’ll be a game that has a little bit of extra meaning for both sides.

“The simple fact that it’s a division opponent, that means a lot,” James said.

“Trying to win your division is very key. And also playing exceptionally well on the road is definitely key. That definitely helps later on in the season. And being an Orlando team that basically

said a lot of things about us in the offseason, that definitely adds a little bit to the fire.”

What James was referring to was the back-andforth sparked by something Magic President Otis Smith said last July, just after the three stars aligned in Miami.

Smith’s quote: “I thought he was, I guess, more of a competitor.”

Heat President Pat Riley responded by saying that was an “absolutely stupid” remark. Magic coach Stan Van Gundy jumped in by wondering why Riley thought it was his place to make moral judgments. By the time the teams actually got around to playing in October, things cooled to a simmer, though James’ comment Monday night served notice that all has not been forgotten.

OU:Sooners got an early jump • Continued from Page B1 It’s something that has changed in recent years.

OU’s coaches have spent many restless nights leading up to past National Signing Days. Most recruits liked to wait until the very end to make that decision.

More and more have opted to get the decision over with by the start of their senior season in high school. The trend started a few years ago with Texas pushing players to make early commitments. The Sooners

have followed suit with success.

Running back Brandon Williams (Brookshire, Texas), who is already attending classes at OU, and wide receiver Trey Metoyer (Whitehouse, Texas) are two of the Lone Star State’s top players and some of the most highly rated in the country. They both committed to the Sooners last spring.

Being able to get an early start in recruiting has allowed the Sooners to remain competitive as it butts heads with Texas for top players.

“If there’s one significant

advantage that Texas has in that conference, it’s that ability to get ahead of the curve.

Oklahoma can start closing the gap in that area,” Luginbill said.

“All that does is enhance their ability to compete with the other top teams in the conference, most notably Texas. I don’t think there are any negatives.”

Those who loved the drama of National Signing Day, however, will have to get their fix somewhere else.

John Shinn 366-3536 jshinn@normantranscript.com

Sign:Southmoore’s Austin Brooks is still undecided • Continued from Page B1 “It was pretty tough,” Newton said. “I was stressing it quite a bit. But I took my visit up there.

“I was really liking it and it felt right. After that I knew.

UCO is pretty close to home.

You know, I kind of had reservations about the whole Air Force deal. UCO is close.

“I’m glad it’s done. It was a whole weight lifted off my shoulders when I finally decided where I wanted to go. I feel good now.”

The can’t be said for Southmoore’s Austin Brooks. After an offseason of going through the recruiting process, the senior safety has yet to decide where he

will be playing next year.

“The recruiting process is hectic and nerve-wracking,” Brooks said. “They do their job and it’s pretty much a big game. So you have to learn how to play pretty quick or you feel like a chump, I guess.”

Brooks visited Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, Brown and Columbia and said they all had interest in him. But as his season went along, his excitement turned to worry when he realized that those same schools were no longer interested in him.

“It took me a while,” Brooks said. “I went up and visited a couple of schools over the summer. I felt like they were really interested in me.

“I had a lot of calls during football season then they just kind of backed off. Then I had to realize I had to get on my game and talk to some other schools that were interested in me, but had kind of backed off cause I was looking in other schools.

“It really stressed me out at first. Then I learned it’s not up to me. I believe that God is in control.”

Brooks’ decision will come down to Dartmouth, Wheaton College in Illinois, Northeastern Oklahoma and a few other state schools. While he is leaning toward Wheaton, nothing was finalized.

Even though the recruiting period is nearly done for

him, Brooks has learned a few valuable lessons from the process. He admits he was part of the problem and may have done things differently if he had to do it over again.

“I guess I got my head a little full of some stuff that were overly conceited,” Brooks said. “I ended up going on some visits and realized you got to go with the schools that really want you. You can’t just want schools. You have to go to the places that want you because that’s the places you are going to get to play.”

Other Moore area athletes who are scheduled to sign National Letters of Intent are Westmoore’s Justin Smith (Southern

Nazarene University), the SaberCats Tylor Whitfield (East Central University), (Lucas Stalnaker (UCO, SNU or Southeastern University), Jermaine Tucker (Fort Lewis, Bacone, Northwestern), d’Vante Henry (Oregon State or a junior college) and Kendal Thompson (Oklahoma).

“I’m very proud of their accomplishments and perseverance,” Southmoore coach Chris Jensen said.

“They have worked extremely hard to give themselves an opportunity to further their playing career.”

Nation said. “The kids will go ahead and do their stuff, and I’ll get a hold of the T.V. We’ll just try to do it whenever we get back.”

NHS also had a powerlifting meet scheduled for Thursday at Anadarko.

“We’re definitely not going to that, but there’s supposed to be another one Friday at Anadarko, so hopefully that will happen.”

Tuesday night’s wrestling meets, Yukon at Moore and Noble at the Suburban Conference Duals, were also postponed.

Hoops: Key may be hitting long shots • Continued from Page B1

Lloyd Noble Center, Griner combined for 29 points, 21 rebounds and an amazing 22 blocked shots, 11 in each game.

“For a freshman,” OU coach Sherri Coale said at the time, “her poise is remarkable.”

But Griner appears to have only gotten better.

She scored 17 points and grabbed 12 rebounds the last time out, a 63-60 victory over Texas A&M in College Station, yet that was still a come down from recent efforts. Prior to the A&M game, Griner had scored 21, 25, 27, 18, 22 and 25 points in her previous six games.

In Joanna McFarland, Lyndsey Cloman, Jelena Cerina and Nicole Griffin, OU has plenty of bodies to throw at Griner inside the paint. And still, to hang with the Bears, the Sooners may have to be good from the outside, out of Griner’s reach.

That means being good from long distance, as they were against Oklahoma State, hitting 12 of 24 3-pointers, a range from which OU has connected 38.4 percent of the time this season.

It might be quite the clash of styles.

Just as long as the Sooners can make it to Waco.

Alder on Bridge

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 notrump 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?

Light Typing, Computer Knowledge, Great Customer Service Skills a Must. Benefits

Pontact "iane Z @9565@I5 'xt @HH Mchool <undraisinD 3anaDer Help schools raise money.

Work with Principals, PTA’s, coaches, clubs, classes, music, etc.

Nationwide company. Avg. earnings. $40-$80,000/yr.

Pall HIH6H8H6I9H:

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.

Storm reaches 2,000 miles; a third of the nation affected

By Jim Salter The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — Layers of dangerous ice and blowing snow closed roads and airports from Texas to Rhode Island on Tuesday as a monster storm began bearing down on the nation and those in its frigid path started to believe it would live up to its hype.

The storm’s more than 2,000-mile reach threatened to leave about a third of the nation covered in a hodgepodge of harsh weather. Ice fell first and was expected to be followed by up to 2 feet of snow in some places. Stormbattered New England towns feared they wouldn’t have anywhere to put it.

Making matters worse was the expectation of brutal cold and winds gusting to near 60 mph.

As truck driver David Peck waited outside to deliver food to a Missouri restaurant whose owners were nowhere to be seen, he implored his boss on the other end of the phone to shut down the route.

“By the time I got to Columbia, all hell broke loose,” said Peck, 51.

“I’ve already fell once, right on my back,” he said, standing atop an ice- and snow-covered ramp propped on the back of his truck.

“There was black ice underneath the snow.”

Snow and ice fell to varying degrees from Colorado to Maine, tornadoes were possible in the South, and the weather disrupted the lives of millions. Multiple airports were at least temporarily shut down due to ice, including in Dallas — the destination for thousands trying to get to Sunday’s Super Bowl.

Flight tracking service FlightAware had logged almost 6,000 cancellations by midday Tuesday. More were expected today.

In Oklahoma White-outs paralyzed Oklahoma City and the Tulsa area, where snowpack caused the partial collapse of a roof at the Hard Rock Casino but no injuries were reported. Blowing snow created drifts up to 4 feet high and trucks, city buses, snowplows and at least one ambulance had trouble navigating the treacherous roadways.

Tulsa coffee shop owner Brian Franklin said he spent most of the morning watching people on the roads, even laughing at those trying to turn into the store’s parking lot. He made it to work in his four-wheel drive Land Rover, but it was a slippery commute.

“After I got out in it, I saw a fire truck with snow chains get stuck, and I wondered if it was a good idea to be driving in this,” he said.

It wasn’t just people get-

ting ready for the weather.

The Humane Society of Missouri urged people to bring pets inside. Farmers and ranchers prepared livestock.

Kevin Hafner, who works for Express Ranches’ operation in El Reno, said workers prepared enough feed to last their animals for 48 hours. Workers were preparing to chop ice on ponds so the cattle will have adequate water.

“They are tough enough to handle it,” Hafner said of the cattle. “They’ve got a good hair coat this year, but we have to have enough feed to give them energy to keep going.”

In Missouri Massive amounts of ice were predicted south of St. Louis, followed by strong winds, could cause a repeat of 2006 when ice then brought down trees and transmission lines and knocked out power to hundreds of thousands of people in Missouri.

St. Louis-based utility company AmerenUE said lessons were learned. Chip Webb, superintendent of reliability support services, said the company has significantly increased efforts to trim trees near power lines, put more power lines underground and inspect and replace more aging poles.

Across the nation On Tuesday Ameren had nearly 500 of its own linemen ready to go and was bringing in another 800 from as far away as Michigan The storm brought the potential for some strange

happenings — thundersnow, lightning, even tornadoes. Forecasters said some regions could get up to 2 inches of snow per hour through parts of Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. Blizzard warnings were in effect in much of the Midwest. Even Chicago, where snow is common, could be in for its third-worst blizzard since record-keeping began, with up to 20 inches forecast.

After burying the Midwest, the storm was expected to sweep into the Northeast, parts of which already are on track for record snowfall this winter. A winter storm warning was in effect for New York City, with forecasters predicting a mix of snow, sleet and ice. Federal workers in Washington were given the option of working from home because roads already were slippery Tuesday.

When the snow finally ends, bitter cold will set in.

Temperatures in some parts of the Midwest will dip well below zero. Gusty winds will blow all of that snow. Visibility will be virtually zero at times.

In Chicago, the National Weather Service warned high winds could produce waves on Lake Michigan of up to 25 feet, leading to considerable coastal flooding and freezing spray, particularly along Lake Shore Drive.

If forecasters are right, Chicago could see its thirdbiggest snowstorm, overshadowed only by the 21.6 inches in 1999 and the 23 inches of snow that fell in 1967.
