Boulevard Cafeteria closes after nearly seven decades

Boulevard Cafeteria, 525 NW 11, closed Friday at the end of lunch service, ending a run that began in 1948. Owner Stewart Schroer confirmed the news before Thanksgiving, but asked the news be kept quiet because he feared his diminishing staff wouldn’t be able to accommodate a surge in business. Warning signs began in the summer

IN THE CLASSROOM
MCLOUD — Despite a strong showing from those who wanted the controversial mascot changed to something less offensive, school board officials in this small town took action Thursday to keep the high school’s nickname — the Redskins — in place for the foreseeable future. Residents young and old packed into the school board’s meeting room in downtown McLoud, many wearing red and black “Redskins” sweaters, shirts or jackets. So many showed up that dozens of people sat on the floor or spilled out of the front door into the cold night. Many spoke in favor of keeping the mascot, saying the name Redskins is a source of pride. SEE MCLOUD, PAGE 2A

Speak: Women’s lawyer plans lawsuit FROM PAGE 1A
where Holtzclaw was convicted. “God’s will let me live to tell this story.” Holtzclaw was convicted on his 29th birthday Thursday night of 18 sexual offenses against eight victims. Jurors chose punishments ranging from five to 30 years in prison. He was acquitted of 18 counts involving five other women. Jurors heard testimony over five weeks and then spent 45 hours over four days to reach their verdicts. Holtzclaw could spend the rest of his life in prison if the judge decides in January to run the prison time consecutively. Holtzclaw, of Oklahoma City, was accused of sexually assaulting the 13 black females between December 2013 and June 2014 in the areas he patrolled in north Oklahoma City. All 13 accusers testified. The jury found him guilty of four counts of first-degree rape and other sexual crimes. Jurors convicted him of both forcible oral sodomy and procuring lewd exhibition in his assault of Ligons.
‘Courageous hero’ Ligons’ lawyer, Benjamin Crump, spoke out Friday calling her “the courageous hero” who put an end to the “serial rapist with a badge.” “The biggest hero ... I hold her hand up in victory,” Crump said as he raised up Ligons’ arm. “This is a victorious time. We’re not just celebrating the victory in court but their courage ... we applaud you all.” After Ligons came forward, other accusers emerged as detectives began questioning women Holtzclaw had come in contact with while on duty. Some women alleged illicit touching and others said they were raped in the back of his patrol car. “He chose women who he could use his power over,” Assistant District Attorney Lori McConnell told the jurors in her closing argument. “How do you call the police on the police?” McConnell

said, quoting one accuser who testified earlier in the trial. “And Holtzclaw counted on that … and if they did tell, no one would care or believe them.” The youngest victim testified she was 17 at the time she was assaulted. Jurors found Holtzclaw guilty of raping her on her mother’s front porch.
Seeking ‘full justice’ Crump noted during the news conference that he represents five of the 13 accusers in the case. Ligons and Shardayreon Hill were two accusers who attended the news conference. Hill alleged Holtzclaw made her submit to sex acts while she was handcuffed to a hospital bed after being arrested. “I couldn’t even believe it. I was speechless. I was scared,” Hill said. The jury acquitted Holtzclaw of all counts related to Hill. Her parents said during the news conference that they were not satisfied. Crump said he plans to sue the city “to get full justice.” Other lawsuits against the city and Holtzclaw have been filed on behalf of some of the victims. Those cases are pending. Thousands across the county watched live on TV and online as District Judge Timothy Henderson read the 36 verdicts. Holtzclaw uncontrollably cried and yelled, “I didn’t do it,” before being taken out of the courtroom in handcuffs.

The trial began Nov. 2 and lasted 21 days. An appeal is expected. The Oklahoman and NewsOK.com do not normally identify victims or accusers in sex crime cases. However, both Ligons and Hill identified themselves publicly Friday at the news conference. Holtzclaw had been a police officer for about three years. Before that, he played college football and was “signed and cut” from the NFL Detroit Lions, his attorney noted during the trial. CONTRIBUTING: STAFF WRITER SILAS ALLEN
McLoud: Many American Indians spoke in favor of mascot FROM PAGE 1A
Others said the term is harmful and offensive, whether people realize it or not. The school board ultimately voted 3 to 0 in favor of keeping the high school’s nickname, but only after more than an hour of intense discussion that left several speakers in tears. A fourth board member, Annetta Abbott, didn’t vote, saying she felt the issue should be decided by an election. During public discussion, more than 20 people spoke from a podium in the center of the room. “My husband is a Redskin. And, come May 2016, our six children will be McLoud Redskins graduates. Some of our grandchildren are McLoud Redskins, as well,” said Darlene Halford, fighting back tears. “We are very proud of our Redskins, and have never thought of the name being derogatory or insulting. It has been a sense of pride and always will be. So I’m asking you today, don’t break a tradition that has been here for so long. We need to keep it around for future generations. We are all part of the Redskin family. We are Redskin loud and Redskin proud.” The crowd responded with raucous applause — the first of many times that happened Thursday night. Woodrow Wilson, an American Indian who identified himself as the school’s “Indian education director,” argued the mascot name is so offensive that one local family doesn’t take part in afterschool activities where the mascot is featured, like sporting events. “I had a family come to me last year and tell me that they don’t participate in school activities because they are offended by the word ‘Redskins,’ Wilson said. “I didn’t know what to do with that as an administrator. “But, there is a family out there who doesn’t feel like they can come forward and say that. They’re sitting out there in fear.” Wilson said racism at McLoud schools “is an issue.” He also called the controversy about “Redskins .. a nationwide issue.” “I was brought in to teach a geography class because students in that class were referred to as dumb Redskins, subhuman. It was a prob-
she continued to make remarks. “The disrespect, right now, is alarming,” she said before walking away from the podium. Adams-Cornell was involved in a similar movement in Oklahoma City. A year ago, the Oklahoma City Public Schools board of education voted unanimously to remove the “Redskins” nickname from Capitol Hill High School, ending an 88-year tradition.

lem,” he said. “There are people who are offended ... who are afraid to come forward ... afraid they’ll be ridiculed. They’re afraid of what people will say because they’re the minority saying this.”
Outside opposition Others, mainly those from outside the McLoud community, told the school board the term “Redskins” is akin to other racial slurs considered obscene or hurtful in modern-day society. Summer Wesley, an attorney, activist and member of the Choctaw Nation, warned what could happen if the mascot name remains. “I’m certain all the board members are aware, public schools that violate the civil rights of students risk losing federal funds from the Department of Education,” she said. “Losing such funds would undoubtedly be devastating, but it is a real risk.” Wesley said the American Psychological Association “called for an immediate retirement of all American Indian mascots ... a decade ago,” claiming the term “Redskins” is detrimental to the development of American Indian children and young people. “Common sense dictates that should a student file suit, claiming a racially hostile environment ... the district will have quite an uphill battle attempting to defend against such claims when their very mascot is a dictionary-defined racial slur,” Wesley said. Sarah Adams-Cornell, a member of the Choctaw Nation, also spoke, but she was interrupted before she could finish because she went over the two-minute
time limit imposed by the school board. “To talk about native children, in particular, they are at great risk. A large number live in poverty. They have some of the highest dropout rates. High teen-pregnancy rates. And sadly, and most alarming, some of the highest rates of suicide,” she said. “While we are a beautiful and strong people, these statistics do not
come from nowhere. “Racism through stereotypes and harmful mascots and imagery all have a great deal to do with those statistics. Mascots dehumanize. If you are a mascot, you are less than human.” As Adams-Cornell ran over her allotted two minutes, people in the audience began to shout, “Time’s up!” Several people grumbled when
Yet, most of the local American Indians who spoke Thursday in McLoud wanted no part in changing the mascot. “On behalf of the McLoud High School Inter-Tribal Club, we are fully aware of the situation. We understand that each individual has a different perspective of the ‘Redskin’ meaning,” said one girl, who did not identify herself. “An outside voice does not speak for our (local) native community. We are not being manipulated by others; we’re speaking out our own opinions. Not a single
member of our tribal club find the Redskin name offensive. We find the Redskin name ... an honor.” Two women gave the school board petitions with hundreds of signatures supporting the “Redskins” mascot. Even the Kickapoo Tribe of Oklahoma, which is headquartered in McLoud, issued a statement in support of keeping the nickname. Mosiah Bluecloud, who claimed to represent the tribe, said the term “Redskins” isn’t a derogatory word to the Kickapoo people. Said Bluecloud: “It’s in reference to the paint that we used ... We painted ourselves with red paint. It’s written down by a linguist, a famous linguist and one of my heroes, Ives Goddard, who talked about how the term started out as what we called ourselves. Redskin was not something that colonizers gave to us. We took that name, and it was translated.” In the end, Randy Patterson, the school board president, said he felt the community had spoken.

when Schroer stopped dinner service. Schroer said his lease ran out four years ago, but he hadn’t been able to renegotiate new terms with the landlord. “I have about 500 people a week that eat here every day,” Schroer said. “I’m not sure what they will do when we leave.” The Boulevard was opened in 1948 by Garland Arrington, who sold The Boulevard to John Schroer Sr. and Pat Denham in 1956, then located at 10th and Dewey — now home to EMSA. In 1972, John Schroer Jr. bought the Queen Ann Cafeteria and split from his family and the Boulevard in 1976. Schroer Jr. installed a second Queen Ann at 10th and Dewey, and John Schroer Sr. built a new building for the Boulevard on the north side of the Plaza Circle building. The second Queen Ann operated for about six years. Schroer Jr.’s Queen Ann Cafeteria operated until 2006 at the bottom of Founders Tower. When Schroer Sr. and his wife, Florene, retired in 1978, Robert Schroer took over the Boulevard. Robert Schroer died from a massive heart-attack in the kitchen of the Boulevard in December 1989 at 40. “After my uncle died, the owner of Gulfport Seafood came over and put on an apron to help out in the kitchen as long as we needed,” Stewart Schroer said. Bill Schroer, the youngest of Schroer Sr.’s sons, bought the Boulevard from Robert’s estate in 1990. When Bill died in 1998, the Boulevard was left to his widow, Malin, who ran the cafeteria until sons Harrison and Stewart were old enough to take over. Harrison left the family business to study petroleum engineering at the University of Oklahoma a few years ago, leaving Stewart to run things on his own. “I’m glad the boys are out from underneath it,” Malin Phillips said. “The cafeteria business is very expensive. People don’t realize it. The cafeteria business has been struggling since the oil bust, really.”
Bygone era The Boulevard was the last in a long line of independently owned cafeteria concepts, dating back to 1928 when Anna Maude Smith opened the Anna Maude Cafeteria in the basement of the Perrine Building, later the Cravens. Thus began a boom of independently owned cafeterias that, according the Oklahoma History Center, ballooned to 37 concepts
between the 1950s and ‘60s. The list of historic cafeterias that followed the Anna Maude included the Classen, O’Mealey’s, Adair’s, Dodson’s, Queen Ann, Valgene’s and Lady Classen. Cafeterias were so suc-
cessful they became the standard-bearer for local dining, and the model for cafeteria operation across the country. The only remaining cafeteria in Oklahoma City is Luby’s, 9410 N May Ave., which is a Texas-based chain founded in 1932.

OKC company donates $100,000 to food bank BY JOSH WALLACE
Staff Writer jwallace@oklahoman.com
Citing his own struggles earlier in life with having enough food to eat, the head of American Precious Metals Exchange donated $100,000 on Friday to the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma. Scott Thomas, president of APMEX, said he first became aware of the Regional Food Bank after seeing a television story in 2007. It made him think about the struggles his mother had keeping he and his sister from going hungry. “My mom was trying to raise myself and my sister alone and there just wasn’t enough money at the end of the month, and we ran short on food,” Thomas said. “My mom went to the state and got food stamps and was on welfare and basically that’s how we ate, we were on a lunch program at school, we wound up not really knowing if there was going to be enough food in there, in the fridge for us.” Thomas, a native New Yorker, said he landed a job at a pizza parlor when he was about 15 and helped feed the family by taking home leftover pizza. “Sometimes we’d eat it for breakfast, lunch or dinner, sometimes all three, ’cause it was free. It was paid for, and we could use the food stamps for other things,” he said. “For me, it was always a matter of making sure that I had enough food to eat, and I can remember, probably like every other kid out there, macaroni and cheese, macaroni and butter, and that was what I would eat.” He said he has made more than $250,000 in contributions to the food bank from his company
THREE CANDIDATES DECIDE TO HAVE NAMES REMOVED FROM BALLOTS Oklahoma City School Board member Laura Massenat withdrew her name from consideration for a second term on Friday, according to the Oklahoma County Election Board. Massenat, who filed candidacy papers Monday for the District 4 seat, said Thursday she had a “change of heart.” Occupational therapist Paula Lewis will run unopposed. Midwest City Council candidate Daniel McClure also withdrew his name from contention for the Ward 6 seat, leaving Jeff Moore to run unopposed. Both elections are Feb. 9. Also Friday, Oklahoma County Court Clerk candidate Charles Key withdrew his name from the March 1 special election.

and employees over the years. “There’s the Red Cross, there’s all these other great charities out there in the world, but honestly, at the end of the day, if you don’t have food in your stomach it makes life pretty difficult, and I felt like that would be an organization that I could get behind,” Thomas said. Last year, the company donated $50,000, but this year, Thomas said, he felt the need to give more. “We felt like because we’ve had a good year and you all have worked really hard, you came together as a team, as an organization, that this is our turn to kind of step up,” Thomas told his employees. Rodney Bivens, execu-
tive director of the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma, accepted the check and said his organization is grateful for the donation in what he described as a tough time for the charity. “This has been a tough year, the energy sector has been down as you know (and) our food donations are down over a million pounds this year just over the first five months and we still can’t figure out exactly why, and financial donations are down too. This really comes at an unbelievable time,” Bivens said. Bivens said for every dollar contributed, the food bank can provide five meals, so Friday’s donation represents 500,000 meals. “Ninety-six cents out
of every dollar that is contributed to us goes to put food on people’s plates,” Bivens said. “We’re proud of the fact that less than 4 percent goes to our administrative and fundraising costs, so we deeply appreciate your efforts.” Thomas asked other companies to follow his lead. “There are some industries that are not affected by oil and gas within Oklahoma, and I would like to say that this is really the time of year, the time for them to step up to the plate,” he said. “The regional food bank needs it, our community needs it, and I just ask them to participate and increase where they can.”
Asstistant DA shoots intruder BY STACY RYBURN
FROM STAFF REPORTS
NORMAN — Fire Chief James Fullingim will retire from that post, effective Feb. 29. The 34-year veteran of the Norman Fire Department has been fire chief and emergency manager for nine years. Fullingim has accepted a position with Oklahoma State University as a full-time faculty member for the Municipal Fire Protection Program in Oklahoma City. His new position begins March 1. “This has been a most-rewarding career that I regret must inevitably come to an end,” Fullingim said. “The opportunity to oversee the fire protection needs, and all that encompasses, for the citizens of Norman has been a great honor.” During his tenure as fire chief, Fullingim guided the city through the construction of two new fire stations and the addition of 37 firefighters funded by a public safety sales tax. His leadership paved
the way for the replacement of the city’s outdoor warning system, City Manager Steve Lewis said. Lewis said Fullingim served as fire chief and emergency manager through nine federally declared natural disasters. “While we are sad to lose his leadership, we wish him all the best in his future endeavors,” the city manager said. Fullingim was awarded the professional designation of Chief Fire Officer by the Commission on Professional Credentialing. He also has served as the president of the Oklahoma City Metro Chiefs Association and president of the Southwestern Division of the International Association of Fire Chiefs. In 2011, he was awarded the J. Ray Pence Leadership Award by the Oklahoma Fire Chiefs Association. Lewis said the city will launch a nationwide search for a new fire chief and emergency manager.

INOLA — A burglar got more than he bargained for Thursday when he broke into the home of an assistant district attorney, who then shot him, the Rogers County sheriff said. Shortly before noon, an intruder broke was shot by Erin Oquin, assistant district attorney in Craig County. With a gunshot wound to the upper chest, the man got into his vehicle and drove about 1 mile west, where he ended up at a dead-end road behind the Inola Police Department. Authorities caught up with him there, Rogers County Sheriff Scott Walton said. He identified the man as Bryan William Starkey, 24. On Thursday, the sheriff’s office was preparing to ask prosecutors for charges against him in other burglaries, Walton said. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation has taken lead in the case because of Oquin’s connection to the county, Walton said.

Task force recommends fixes to teacher shortage BY TIM WILLERT
Staff Writer twillert@oklahoman.com
Teachers seeking certification in Oklahoma would not have to pay for costly exams, and the tests would be waived for out-of-state teachers regardless of experience under recommendations made by a group studying the teacher shortage. A preliminary report was issued Thursday at a meeting of the Teacher Shortage Task Force and presented Friday to legislative leaders. It contains nine recommendations that focus on ways to better support, recruit and incentivize teachers while making it easier to enter the profession. “Oklahoma must strike the right balance between finding the teachers it needs and maintaining high standards,” the report states. Other recommendations include a proposal that would allow retired teachers to mentor new teachers without having to be employed by the school district they serve. Teaching candidates seeking alternative certification would be allowed to substitute certain work experience for grade point average, according to another proposal. Additionally, adjunct teachers could be used to help fill vacancies by increasing the number of hours they can teach from 90 to 270 hours per semester. “Oklahoma has obvious needs for teachers, and Oklahoma also has a large number of business people who have been laid off from the oil and gas industry,” the report states. “Allowing school districts to have greater flexibility for hiring adjunct teachers could be a win-win for both industries.” State schools Superintendent Joy Hofmeister said the recommendations will require legislative action to complete. “I believe we are taking important steps forward in having an action plan to solve this,” Hofmeister said Friday. “There is not one silver bullet to solve the teacher shortage; we are focusing on a multipronged effort.” Hofmeister has presented a five-year plan to raise teacher compensation, but a

projected budget shortfall of about $1 billion could derail such a plan. The report recommends incentives that include additional pay and loan forgiveness. It also calls for soon-to-be graduates of educator preparation programs who teach in high poverty or high minority areas to teach under contract during their last semester provided they sign a multiyear contract. The task force, which includes educators, legislators and business and industry leaders, was formed in September to find ways to curb Oklahoma’s teacher shortage. Members will meet for up to a year to study the feasibility of proposed strategies, explore successful strategies in other states and recommend solutions that could be addressed by the Legislature, communities and the state Education Department. “Their work is not done; this is just the first deadline in their mission,” Hofmeister said. Since July, the state Board of Education has approved 948 emergency teaching certificates, which are issued to school districts that lack qualified candidates to fill vacancies.
Education groups file brief for proposed penny sales tax BY BARBARA HOBEROCK Tulsa World Barbara.Hoberock@ tulsaworld.com
Education groups on Friday filed a brief supporting a proposed statewide penny sales tax to benefit their constituents. The Oklahoma Supreme Court is expected to hear oral arguments Wednesday on a proposed challenge to an initiative petition to increase the tax. If it garnered enough signatures, the petition would let voters decide whether the state sales tax should be increased by 1 cent to fund common, higher education and Career Tech. It would be in the form of State Question 779 on the November 2016 ballot. Part of the funds would go toward a $5,000 teacher pay raise. OCPA Impact, the lobbying arm of the conservative policy group Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs, filed a protest, saying the petition contained more than one subject in violation of the Oklahoma Constitution. Supporters of the tax say the state
question would address one subject — education improvement. Tulsa Mayor Dewey Bartlett and the Oklahoma Municipal League earlier this week filed a brief opposing the petition, saying the proposal would reduce sales tax revenue for cities and towns, hurting their ability to provide critical services such as police and fire protection. The Cooperative Council for Oklahoma School Administration, the Oklahoma State School Boards Association and the Oklahoma Education Association filed a brief in support of the proposal. Their brief said lawmakers have killed proposals that would have a financial benefit to education. Due to dropping state revenues, leaders will not have the ability to positively impact the education budget in the upcoming fiscal year, the brief says. “In order to address this calamity, respondents made the decision to pursue a process in which Oklahoma voters are provided an opportunity to consider a state question on whether to increase
education funding,” the brief says, adding that an initiative petition is a prudent course for voters to resolve the issue of education funding. If approved, the measure is expected to generate $615 million a year for education. The measure is being backed by University of Oklahoma President David Boren. The leader of OCPA Impact issued a statement in opposition to the petition. “Oklahoma’s Constitution has a single-subject rule in order to protect the rights of voters to vote separately on important issues instead of having them logrolled into one proposition,” said Dave Bond, CEO of OCPA Impact. “President Boren’s ballot petition includes at least four distinct subjects and would force voters who want a teacher pay raise to also accept increasing Oklahoma’s sales tax burden to the highest in the U.S. Oklahoma voters should be protected from having a tax increase logrolled into a proposal to increase teacher pay.”
OKC offers free landfill day for storm debris STAFF REPORTS
Oklahoma City residents wanting to dispose of their debris from the Thanksgiving weekend ice storm can do so for free at four city-area landfills, 7 a.m. to noon Saturday. While debris hauled by residents will be accepted without charge, debris from businesses and commercial waste haulers will not. Households are limited to debris that fits in a car or pickup, or in a trailer up to
16 feet in length. Landfills are at 3201 Mosley Road, 7001 S Bryant, 7600 SW 15 and 2601 N Midwest Blvd. Call 2972833 with questions.
Neighborhood pickup Meanwhile, contractors on Monday are to begin the first of two sweeps through Oklahoma City to pick up debris caused by the storm from in front of neighborhood homes. Debris collection is free. Branches and limbs downed in the storm
should be cut into the shortest possible segments, no longer than 12 feet, and be stacked at the curb, away from mailboxes and other obstructions. The city expects to collect 13,000 tons of debris, said Jim Linn, solid waste superintendent. The contractors’ first pass is expected to last 30 days. They will take a 10-day break before beginning a second sweep through neighborhoods. Cleanup should be complete in February.

Norman councilman pleads not guilty in drug case BY JENNIFER PALMER Staff Writer jpalmer@oklahoman.com
NORMAN — A city councilman charged with drug crimes related to his employment at a pipe shop pleaded not guilty Friday and immediately posted a $2,500 bond to be released. Councilman Stephen Holman faces one felony count of acquiring pro-
ceeds from drug activity and six misdemeanor counts of possession of drug paraphernalia. He is general manager of The Friendly Market, which sells pipes, smoking accessories and other merchandise. The felony charge stems from cash found in a bank bag in his briefcase, his attorney said. Robert W. Cox, who owns the store at 1100 E
Constitution, faces the same charges and received the same bond amount. Holman, 31, and Cox, 62, were processed at the Cleveland County jail on Friday and released. Holman says the Dec. 1 raid by Norman police and the resulting charges are likely politically-motivated. Holman, who has considered running for mayor, questioned police use of
MyOklahoma
civil forfeiture funds at a city council meeting in August. Before taking the job at The Friendly Market, Holman talked to the city attorney but his employment there wasn’t approved or disapproved, said assistant city attorney Rick Knighton. “Most council members come to the city already employed by somebody and if they choose to
switch jobs, that’s totally up to them,” he said. Holman was hired three months ago, at a time the store wasn’t selling smoking merchandise, though Holman said he kept the city attorney informed when the shelves were restocked. The Friendly Market restocked its glass pipes and smoking accessories following the raid with advice from their
attorneys. Supporters have rushed to defend Holman and a small crowd gathered outside the courtroom Friday. A fund has been set up for his legal expenses on Indiegogo, a crowd funding website. “These people aren’t felons,” attorney Blake Lynch said following Friday’s arraignment. “We pled not guilty because we aren’t guilty.”
Officials link wastewater plant, 30,000 fish killed along Ark. creek BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Oklahoma wildlife officials say a discharge of partially treated wastewater from an Arkansas wastewater plant killed over 30,000 fish along a Siloam Springs tributary. The fish kill happened in September when the apparent failure at Sager Creek Foods caused the diversion of industrial wastewater to the treatment plant without undergoing the normal pretreatment process. Officials said this week that the discharge overwhelmed the plant and “partially treated sewage”
spilled into Sager Creek, which flows into Flint Creek, a stream that empties into the Illinois River. Officials say the fish kill occurred over the course of at least three days, starting Sept. 29. Wildlife officials say the wastewater from Sager Creek Foods lacked the oxygen necessary for aquatic life. Siloam Springs spokeswoman Holland Hayden said that strict monitoring requirements imposed on the company as part of a cease and desist order, issued Oct. 7, were allowed to expire, but penalties for six alleged permit violations remain an option. The company previously
said that it “continues to work with local authorities regarding this issue.” The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation says the impact to the fish and wildlife resources in the Delaware County segment of Sager Creek is about $14,000 and the costs related to the investigation of the fish kill are nearly $2,000. Oklahoma law allows the state agency to pursue reimbursement costs related to the replacement value of fish lost as a result of pollution and investigations. The replacement cost is based on values set by the American Fisheries Societies.
Satanists plan Christmas Eve protest outside OKC Catholic church BY MATT PATTERSON
Staff Writer mpatterson@oklahoman.com
A local Satanist will protest in front of a downtown Oklahoma City church on Christmas Eve. Adam Daniels said he plans to pour costume blood over a Virgin Mary statue that has been
treated “with sulfur powder and ash,” outside St. Joseph Old Cathedral, 307 NW 4. Prayers will also be said to the statue. The protest will be confined to the sidewalk and will not block any church entrances, according to the permit obtained by Daniels. The permit also requires the
group to clean up the display after the event and ensure no costume blood is left on the sidewalk. Set up of the display will begin at 4:30 p.m. and the display must be dismantled by 6:15 p.m., the permit states. The display, titled the “Virgin Birth is a Lie,” is aimed at
“exposing lies” of the Catholic Church, Daniels said. He said the virgin birth of Jesus is a fraud. “The purpose of the blood is to add another layer of corruption to Mary, which is an emblem of the Catholic Church,” he said. Daniels said protests by the Catholic Church over a “black mass” held in Oklahoma City
last year, the unveiling of a Baphomet statue last year and a protest at Daniels’ book signing in Lawton were catalysts behind his decision to hold the protest on Christmas Eve. Calls to Archbishop Paul Coakley’s office for comment on Daniels’ plan were not returned Friday.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton drew loud applause during an appearance in Tulsa on Friday when she made a reference to Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin while discussing her intention to uphold the Affordable Care Act. “We have to protect and defend Medicare against Republican attacks to voucherize it, and I sure wish we could get your governor and others to extend Medicaid,” Clinton said during a grass-roots organizing event at the Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame downtown. Fallin rejected Medicaid expansion and resisted creating a state-based healthcare exchange in November 2012, saying at the time that Oklahoma voters strongly opposed the law, which President Barack Obama signed into law during his first term and laid the foundation for universal health care across the country. “It’s not going to help the rural economy of Oklahoma for small, rural hospitals to close because they don’t have the funds that they could have had from Medicaid,” Clinton said. “You walk into the emergency room and thank goodness they’ll take care of you, but they can’t keep doing that if there’s nobody to pay for it.” A line of supporters was at least a block long by the time the doors to the auditorium opened at 10 a.m., and a small group of people were shouting “Feel the Bern!” in support of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, Clinton’s primary rival for the Democratic nomination. After a two-hour delay, Clinton spoke at 2 p.m. for about a half hour.
10th organizing event in state She shook hands with audience members after finishing her remarks and also took photos with a handful of attendees before leaving to attend a private fundraiser at the home of Tulsa philanthropists George and Cookie Kaiser. It was her 10th organizing event in a state whose primary election voting date falls on March 1, or Super Tuesday. Other comments from Clinton that elicited cheers from the more than 900 spectators present Friday included her promises to defend women’s rights, voting rights and marriage equality, as well as her pledges to implement comprehensive immigration and criminal justice reforms. “When you hear Republican candidates saying some of the things they say, I want you to take them seriously because if elected they may try to do what they are saying,” she said. “They want to turn the clock back on the progress we have made. They want to go after women’s rights and gay rights and voting rights and workers’ rights. They want us to be out of touch and out of date when it comes to who we are in America today.” When introducing Clinton to the crowd, state Sen. Kay Floyd, who represents Oklahoma City, said she supported Clinton because she, like herself, “absolutely knows what it’s like to be the only woman at the table.” Clinton’s experiences as a woman in politics factored heavily into her speech, particularly when she called for women to receive equal pay for equal work and when she discussed the presidency of her hus-

band, Bill Clinton. “I’m not running for my husband’s third term, and I’m not running for President Obama’s third term. I’m running for my first term,” she said. Former Tulsa Mayor Kathy Taylor, who gave preliminary remarks Friday, said Clinton is a candidate who has “dedicated her life to serving those around her.” “Secretary Clinton’s service to this country didn’t start the day her husband was elected governor or president,” Taylor said. “Her commitment to children and American families started during her college years, working on child welfare and labor issues. She is and has always been a tireless advocate that the most vulnerable of us need.”

Terrorism, firearms Clinton told the crowd Friday that climate change is real, contrary to the beliefs of certain Oklahoma legislators, and that it is a threat but could also present an opportunity to create millions of jobs in the clean and renewable energy sector. But she maintained that the country’s biggest threat is terrorism from the Islamic State. “There is no higher responsibility for your president, and when you choose a president, you are also choosing a commander-in-chief,” she said. “I have been very clear that we have to defeat the terrorist threat from ISIS. We have to work with the rest of the world to do that. ... We have to fight them in the air, fight them on the ground and fight them online.” She also said she supported barring people on the U.S. government’s no-fly list from purchasing firearms, a policy President Obama advocated during a recent Oval Office address in light of the attack in San Bernardino, Calif. “If you are too dangerous to fly, you are too dangerous to buy a gun in my opinion,” Clinton said. “But we also have to protect and defend our rights and our values. It’s really important that we don’t turn on one another in America. ... If we’re going to fight radical jihadists inside America, we need American Muslims to be with us and help us.” When asked about the event’s turnout Friday, Tulsans Kathy McKean and Sherry Maxwell said they were pleased to see so many people and believe Clinton is “head and shoulders” above the rest of the candidate field. “I’ve supported her for a long time,” McKean said. “In the environment that we’re in right now, she’s pretty much the only person running who is qualified to deal with it. I’m excited that she’s running, and I’m excited she’s supporting things I’ve always supported.” Aldrick Reyes brought his 18-yearold son, who will be eligible to vote for the first time, to Clinton’s presentation. He joked that Clinton would be a better choice than Republican candidate Donald Trump, considered the frontrunner for the GOP nomination in several polls, because Trump is a businessman, not a politician. “Her husband was president, and she’s running for president, so it brings a lot of enthusiasm,” Reyes said. “She’s been secretary of state. She’s got experience to lead the country in the way it needs to go. She has more experience than any of the other candidates, whether Republican or Democrat.”

In poll, parties’ supporters see Trump, Clinton as decisive leaders

Republicans don’t see Donald Trump as likable or compassionate, but he’s viewed by Republican registered voters as their party’s most decisive, most competent and most electable candidate, according to a new Associated Press-GfK poll. Here are some things to know about public opinion on the presidential candidates from the poll:
Trump leads on decisiveness, competence
Republicans’ views on candidates’ electability
Eight in 10 Republican registered voters called Trump very or somewhat decisive, while more than six in 10 called him very or somewhat competent. Trump is far atop the field on decisiveness. Of the other four Republican candidates tested in the poll, Ted Cruz came closest, with 56 percent calling him very or somewhat decisive, followed by Ben Carson at 53 percent, Marco Rubio at 52 percent and Jeb Bush at just 42. The poll was taken before Trump called for a ban on Muslims coming into the U.S. Just 31 percent of Republican voters said Trump is at least somewhat compassionate, and 43 percent said he is at least somewhat likable. Carson was viewed as most compassionate and likable, with seven in 10 Republican voters saying each word describes him at least somewhat well. But while nine in 10 Republican voters said decisiveness and competence are extremely or very important in a candidate for president, just six in 10 said compassion is that important, and only half said it’s that important for a candidate to be likable. Nine in 10 Republican voters also agreed honesty is an important quality in a presidential candidate, but they were more divided on whether that’s a description that applies to Trump. Fifty-five percent said “honest” describes him very or somewhat well, and 43 percent said only slightly or not at all well. Bush, Rubio and Cruz didn’t perform significantly better. Carson, on the other hand, was viewed as at least somewhat honest by 66 percent of Republican voters.
Republicans were more likely to see Trump as a potential general election winner than to say that about any other candidate. Three-quarters thought he could win in November if nominated. Rubio (63 percent), Carson (60 percent) and Cruz (55 percent) also were seen as general election winners by more than half of Republicans. Trump isn’t without weaknesses. Although 58 percent of Republican registered voters rated him favorably, the 38 percent who gave him an unfavorable rating were among the highest for the GOP field. But Republican voters also don’t think Trump is getting a fair shake from the media. Two-thirds say media coverage is generally biased against him, more than say so of the other top candidates.
COURTS
TEXAS | AUSTIN — The criminal case against Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton moved closer to trial Friday after a judge refused to toss indictments that accuse the state’s top prosecutor of defrauding wealthy investors before taking office. The ruling clears the way for felony charges that dogged Paxton’s first year on the job to follow him into 2016. A trial date has not yet been set. Paxton wanted the case dismissed over claims that secret grand jury proceedings in his hometown of McKinney this summer were compromised.
SHOOTING
CALIFORNIA | LOS ANGELES — Specialized divers with the FBI searched a San Bernardino lake for a second day Friday, looking for a computer hard drive and any other evidence linked to last week’s terror attack and the husband-andwife shooters who killed 14 people. Investigators have said the killers tried to cover their tracks by destroying emails, cellphones and other items at their home in Redlands.

Clinton leads Sanders for Democrats On the Democratic side, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was viewed favorably by 80 percent of Democratic registered voters and unfavorably by just 14 percent. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders was viewed favorably by 54 percent of Democratic voters and unfavorably by 21 percent, with 24 percent saying they still don’t know enough about him. Clinton was viewed as decisive and competent by more than three-quarters of Democratic voters, and as compassionate and likable by two-thirds, topping Sanders on those measures. About six in 10 called each of the top two Democratic candidates honest. Nine in 10 said Clinton could win a general election, while just over half said that of Sanders.

LEBANON | BEIRUT — A son of Libya’s late leader Moammar Gadhafi was briefly kidnapped in Lebanon by militants demanding information about the fate of a Shiite cleric who went missing in Libya decades ago, a security official and local TV stations said Friday. Hannibal Gadhafi appeared in a video aired late Friday on local Al-Jadeed TV saying anyone with information about Imam Moussa al-Sadr should come forward. Gadhafi appeared to have been beaten up and had black eyes but said in the video he is “in good health, happy and relaxed.” Al-Sadr’s 1978 disappearance has been a long-standing sore point in Lebanon.

According to a report by the independent monitoring group Airwars, 8,834 air strikes have been launched targeting Islamic militants in Iraq and Syria, killing an estimated 23,000 Islamic State militants.

Regardless of who wins the nominations, candidates will have a long way to go to win a favorable opinion from a majority of voters. No candidate was viewed more positively than negatively among Americans as a whole. Trump received negative ratings from nearly six in 10, and Bush was viewed unfavorably by half. Americans were divided in their views of Democrats Clinton (44 percent favorable to 46 percent unfavorable) and Sanders (31 percent favorable to 32 percent unfavorable). They were also fairly closely divided on Republicans Rubio (30 percent favorable to 33 percent unfavorable) and Carson (32 percent favorable to 36 percent unfavorable). Cruz was viewed more unfavorably than favorably, 37 percent to 24 percent. But Clinton stood out from the field as the candidate viewed as most able to win a general election, with 78 percent thinking she could win if nominated. Trump came in second, with 55 percent thinking of him as a possible general election winner. No other candidate was seen as able to win a general election by more than 45 percent of all Americans.
IRAQ | BAGHDAD — Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi called for the immediate withdrawal of Turkish troops from northern Iraq in a national address Friday night, insisting no foreign forces are needed to fight the Islamic State group in his country. Turkey has had troops in northern Iraq to help train local Kurdish and Sunni forces since last year, but the arrival of additional troops sparked an uproar in Baghdad. Turkey subsequently halted new deployments but has refused to withdraw its soldiers. Earlier Friday, Abadi asked the Foreign Ministry to submit a complaint to the United Nations about the presence of Turkish troops near the IS-held city of Mosul.
SPAIN | MADRID — An Algerian-Irish man accused of recruiting an American woman who called herself “Jihad Jane” and plotted to kill a Swedish artist has been arrested in Spain, officials said Friday. Ali Charaf Damache was arrested Thursday in Barcelona based on a U.S. warrant stating he was a suspected recruiter for an Islamic extremist group, according to the Interior Department for the northeastern region of Catalonia. Damache was taken to the National Court in Madrid on Friday and ordered jailed while the request for his extradition is reviewed.

SOUTH KOREA | SEOUL — North and South Korea started the second day of high-level talks at a North Korean border town on Saturday, a promising sign of reconciliation efforts after stepping away from a military standoff in August. No major developments were expected from the presumably last day of the meetings between vice-ministerial officials in Kaesong, where the discussions stretched into the night on Friday before the sides decided to extend the talks. Analysts still find the talks meaningful because they keep alive an atmosphere of dialogue. FROM WIRE REPORTS

OPINION SCISSORTALES | OUR OPINIONS TAKE FLIGHT
Education law a win for states Reaching beyond the base N O Child Left Behind is no more. The education law approved during the George W. Bush administration was replaced this week by a new law that wisely gives states more discretion and flexibility in educating their children. The Every Student Succeeds Act, or ESSA, retains federally mandated statewide reading and math tests for students in grades 3 through 8. But otherwise it gives states considerably more control over goals and measurements for schools. Oklahoma is among several states that have had to apply for federal waivers while crafting state policies. Passage of ESSA will end that. The bill was supported by six of the seven members of Oklahoma’s congressional delegation; Rep. Jim Bridenstine, R-Tulsa, was the sole opponent. Charles Sahm, director of education policy for the Manhattan Institute, said passage of ESSA stands to be “a nice holiday present for the nation — a law that embraces federalism and might even do some good for students.” Meanwhile, state schools Superintendent Joy Hofmeister said the new law “gives Oklahoma education stakeholders at the state and local level the authority and responsibility they have long sought.” That responsibility is especially important. Oklahoma lawmakers scrapped the Common Core curriculum in 2014, and now Hofmeister’s office is in the process of writing new academic standards to be presented to the Legislature in February. It’s crucial these be rigorous and thorough, in order to best serve Oklahoma’s children. The feds are backing away. States must take advantage of this opportunity.
Accident waiting to happen The impetus for Oklahoma lawmakers to ban text-messaging at the wheel was an accident that killed a highway patrol trooper. Details of the case show this was an accident waiting to Steven Wayne Clark, cenhappen. The driver, Steter, in a Seminole County ven Wayne Clark, 30, of court this week. [PHOTO BY JIM Cushing, pleaded guilty BECKEL, THE OKLAHOMAN] in August to first-degree manslaughter in the death of trooper Nicholas Dees. Another trooper, Keith Burch, was badly injured the night of Jan. 30 when Clark’s vehicle struck the men as they investigated an accident involving an overturned tractor-trailer on Interstate 40 in Seminole County. In court this week, the judge who will determine Clark’s sentence was told that cellphone analysis showed Clark had sent 69 text messages, and received 73, during his two-hour drive from Fort Smith, Ark. “We’ve all been distracted drivers,” Clark’s attorney told the judge. Perhaps, but for Clark, whose young daughter was in the car at the time, driving seemed to be as much an afterthought as anything. That recklessness ultimately proved fatal.
No easy fix Oklahoma City’s new restrictions on panhandling, approved by the city council on Tuesday, were never going to please all sides. But some action was needed for an activity that puts panhandlers and motorists at risk. The new rules prohibit most activities in medians within 200 feet of an intersection. The rules don’t apply to medians that are at least 30 feet wide, or those that have trails or benches. The council voted 7-2 for the new rules after hearing from more than a dozen residents who objected to the measure. Some said the rules will hit the poor and disabled the hardest. Others said criminalizing this activity doesn’t square with criminal justice reform efforts. Ward 2 Councilman Ed Shadid voted against the proposal but offered one bright spot: “Maybe the most significant benefit is just bringing all these groups together.” Indeed, reducing homelessness and helping the downtrodden takes a communitywide effort.
Current presidential polls probably don’t hold much predictive value, but they do provide insight. So Republicans should worry that the party’s current presidential front-runner, Donald Trump, doesn’t fare well in matchups with likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. The same thing is true for another GOP contender rising in the polls — Sen. Ted Cruz. Cruz argues his hard-edged conservatism will win more votes than the more genial variety offered by other non-Trump contenders. Yet recent polling by MSNBC/Telemundo/ Marist found Clinton held substantial national leads over Trump and Cruz. She held only narrow leads against three other Republican contenders — Sen. Marco Rubio, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and neurosurgeon Ben Carson. Recent CNN polling showed a tighter race, but still showed only Rubio and Carson beating Clinton. The GOP needs not just a conservative candidate, but one whose message can attract those not already in the Republican tent.
Changing times Time marches on, and times change whether we like it or not. We were reminded of this fact again when it was announced this week that the Oklahoma City Gridiron Club, which lampooned local politicians, is now a thing of the past. Aside from World War II, the club has put on an annual show since 1928 poking fun at John Greiner, left, Jim politicians through Campbell and Erin comedic musical skits.

Yet in recent years, public interest has waned for a variety of reasons, and the number of reporters willing to write, produce and perform in the show has also declined. Those factors, plus the rising cost of renting a venue, led officials to spike the show. Such is life, but the passing of a show that highlighted the absurdities of the political class should evoke at least a little sadness.
Unserious Global politics can involve serious issues. But it seems some of those following the climate talks in Paris have trouble differentiating between major and minor issues. Avaaz, a group of environmental activists, plastered more than 1,000 “Wanted” posters outside Paris hotels describing seven people as “criminals” for their (sometimes very loose) ties to energy industries. The alleged “crimes” amounted to either working on behalf of energy industries, such as lobbying for a coal association, or simply doing research that questions the extremist claims of some global-warming fanatics. One official targeted by activists, James Taylor, senior fellow at the Heartland Institute, dryly noted, “It is a shame that people must experience such vitriol and harassment when they make scientific arguments supported by scientific data.” Indeed. And given the recent terrorist attacks in Paris, it’s a shame that some environmentalists apparently can’t tell the difference between criminals and “criminals.”
They already track that Democrats are trying to ban anyone on the FBI’s terrorist-watch list from buying a gun. U.S. Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., highlighted why this is such an empty gesture. Cotton noted a report from the federal Department of Justice Inspector General once concluded up to half the names on the list are incorrect. It famously included former Sen. Ted Kennedy. So many people not even remotely involved in terrorism wind up on the list. But there’s more. Cotton also noted, “The background check system that federally licensed firearm dealers use includes a terror watch list, and the FBI counterterrorist division is notified when that occurs.” So law enforcement officials already track firearm purchases by suspected terrorists. This makes the Democrats’ proposal all hype, no substance.
Marco Rubio said his favorite show is ‘The Walking Dead.’ When asked why, Rubio said, ‘I’m a senator from Florida, those are my constituents.’” CONAN O’BRIEN “CONAN”
A problem with no easy solution As the week began, I planned to write this column about some implications of Barack Obama’s Sunday night Oval Office address. He devoted about one-fifth of this 13-minute speech to pleas that Americans not discriminate against Muslims. “It is the responsibility of all Americans — of every faith — to reject discrimination,” he said. “It’s our responsibility to reject proposals that Muslim Americans should somehow be treated differently.” At one level, this is an anodyne statement. As a general proposition, discrimination by religion is against the Michael best in American traBarone dition and the letter of American law. George W. Bush made similar COMMENTARY statements in the days after Sept. 11, 2001. But as events have shown then and since, both presidents “misunderestimated” — to use a verb apparently coined by Bush — the American people. Yes, there have been incidents here and there when Americans have acted violently or rudely to people they have perceived to be Muslim. But they are exceedingly rare in a nation of 322 million people. Both presidents showed a lack of confidence in the ability of ordinary Americans to carry in their heads two ideas seemingly in tension. One is that most violent terrorists these days are Muslims. The other is that most Muslims aren’t terrorists. But it turns out ordinary people are entirely capable of understanding that not everyone in a certain category behaves according to stereotypes, even those based on statistical facts. There was another objectionable aspect to Obama’s speech. “It is our responsibility to reject religious tests on who we admit into this country,” he said. That was a partisan slap at Republicans who suggested that priority in admitting Syrian refugees should be given to non-Muslims. But no nation is under an obligation to admit foreigners to its territory, and the U.S. Constitution prohibits a “religious test” only for public officials. American asylum law provides preferences for those persecuted for their religious beliefs, as Yazidis and Christians have been by Islamic State forces. For many years American law provided for special treatment for Soviet Jews. Religious tests, in appropriate circumstances, are entirely consistent with American tradition and humanitarian principles. I was prepared to write more along these lines. But then on Monday came the announcement that, in the words of a campaign press release, “Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on.” A Trump spokesman initially said the ban would cover “everyone.” But it turned out later that the candidate would make some exceptions. Muslim U.S. military personnel stationed outside the country would be allowed to return. As would Muslims who are U.S. citizens. I think Trump is “misunderestimating” the American people in much the same way as Obama. Where the president seems to fear the possibility of widespread violence against Muslims (or those perceived as such), the presidential candidate evidently sees a widespread consensus that Muslims are so likely to be dangerous that it is unduly risky to allow any to enter the country. This seems to me to get recent history wrong. “If this guy doesn’t look like an Arab terrorist, then nothing does,” the ticket agent who let 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta pass through security recalled thinking, “but it’s not nice to say things like this.” Neighbors of the San Bernardino terrorists noticed peculiar goings-on but didn’t report them to authorities. It seems that many Americans, out of a “misunderestimated” reluctance to discriminate by religion, have difficulty making the distinctions — or discriminations — needed to identify terrorists. That’s a problem not easily solved, and Obama’s and Trump’s “misunderestimates” aren’t helping. CREATORS.COM

YOUR VIEWS
Won’t fix it
Regarding the letter by former Gov. Frank Keating (Your Views, Dec. 6): While Sen. James Lankford, R-Oklahoma City, should be applauded for his efforts to promote fiscal responsibility, it should be noted that he follows an even stronger advocate for limiting federal spending — former Sen. Tom Coburn. Indeed, Lankford seems to be continuing Coburn’s highlighting of federal waste, fraud and duplication with published findings. All good and well, but it should be noted that Coburn came to the conclusion after 16 years in Congress that the political system in Washington was too broken to expect a solution even with advocacy by public officials like Lankford. He left the Senate last year believing that the only real solution would come through an amendments convention by the states under Article V of the Constitution. That is why the former senator from Muskogee is now working with an organization called Convention of the States to promote legislatures to petition Congress for an amendments convention. High on the list of this group’s possible proposals are a balanced budget amendment and term limits on Congress. Larry Floyd Oklahoma City
Amendment thwarts radicals Regarding the letter by Paul Muegge (Your Views, Nov. 30): As a pig farmer, only one thing concerns me about the future of my farm and the livelihood of my family. It’s not my neighbors in Oklahoma — I know Oklahomans support farmers like my family. It’s not the markets — while there are always ups and downs, I know that demand for pork is strong. It’s radical groups with deep pockets like the Humane Society of the United States. HSUS opposes State Question 777, Oklahoma’s Right to Farm, because the organization opposes all meat production
and consumption. Our state was built on our natural resources, both mineral and agricultural. We can’t allow deep-pocketed special-interest groups to tell us what our rights are. As a family farmer and a steward of the land I live on, I support Right to Farm because it will protect thousands of Oklahoma farmers and ranchers from out-ofstate radicals. SQ 777 protects all farmers — small, medium, big, conventional, organic and otherwise. This amendment to our state’s constitution puts power in the hands of Oklahoma citizens, not outside interests. When you consider the merits of Right to Farm, please listen to real Oklahoma farmers and ranchers and join us in supporting this important initiative. Rich Robinson, Holdenville
Fix the system I have supported every measure designed to increase teacher salaries, but will not support this latest proposed 1-cent sales tax increase, or any other measure, until the system is fixed. We don’t need more than 500 school districts. In the early 20th century, with poor roads, unreliable transportation and spotty phone service, it may have made some sense, but in the 21st century it’s absurd. Remember liquor by the drink, House Bill 1017, pari-mutuel racing and the Oklahoma Lottery? None of those measures “fixed” teacher salaries, and neither will this sales tax increase. I’m appalled by the lack of knowledge shown by many of today’s young people, but commitment to education begins at home, not at school. If parents don’t care about their children’s education, neither, in most cases, will their children. I don’t know what to do about uncaring parents, but as for the schools, first fix the system, then see where we are on teacher salaries. Lew Tait, Edmond

Think of the scene from the classic movie “Casablanca” in which the German occupiers compete with the French patriots in the bar of Rick’s Cafe Americain, in which the Germans raise their voices in the chorus of “Deutschland uber Alles,” joined by any French collaborators they can attract, notably The Wall Street Journal’s Peggy Noonan a French mistress.

COMMENTARY
B
rent Venables will soon face the program that demoted him and the head coach who essentially pushed him out the door to Clemson, and he’ll do so with a spot in the national championship game on the line. So, of course, he wants to beat Oklahoma. But Venables isn’t bent on revenge, isn’t motivated by anger. It’s easier to walk on the sunny side of the street when you’re the defensive coordinator for the topranked team in all the land, when some pundits have said you’re the best defensive mind in all of college football. But even if things hadn’t worked out quite so well for Venables in the four seasons since he left Oklahoma, it sure doesn’t sound like he’d be harboring hate. Not for OU. Not for Bob Stoops.

FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS: A CELEBRATION OF HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
McDaniel overcame heart condition to become leader at Heritage Hall With Cole McDaniel on the operating table with seven tubes stuck in his body, his parents faced a life-or-death decision. For five hours doctors had searched McDaniel’s heart, looking for what caused episodes of rapid heartbeats. Now Mark and Stacy McDaniel had to choose: Abort the operation or complete it and risk complications that would eventually leave Cole with a pacemaker in his heart. Four years later, the McDaniels still remember the tears, fears, prayers and choice. “The way I put it, it was a gametime decision,” Mark recalled. “We said a prayer and trusted the doctors going forward. It wasn’t easy. We wanted to cure him.”

Stoops would be happy if Knight finds ‘good fit’ NORMAN — Bob Stoops
says he’ll be happy for Trevor Knight if he uses the NCAA’s graduate-transfer rule to “find a good fit” with another program. Stoops announced Friday that Oklahoma had granted Knight, the Sooners’ backup quarterback, a full release to transfer to another school for his final season of eligibility. Stoops said in a statement that Knight will remain with the Sooners at least through the College Football Playoff and hasn’t decided to transfer. “Trevor has been unbelievable during his time

OU FOOTBALL as a Sooner,” Stoops said in the release. “I can’t say enough about him and what he’s meant to our program. He will graduate this month and has told us that he would like to investigate the possibility of finishing his career elsewhere. We understand him wanting to explore his options and will be happy for him if he’s able to find a
good fit.” The Sooners play Clemson on Dec. 31 in the CFP semifinal in the Orange Bowl. The national championship game is Jan. 11. Knight started 15 games in 2013-14 before being beaten out by Baker Mayfield before this season. His only action this season with the outcome still undetermined came in the second half of a 30-29 win over TCU. He completed 5 of 16 passes with an interception after Mayfield was sidelined with a concussion. “My decision to reach out and communicate with out potential programs is some-
thing I feel I must do in order to see if there is a perfect fit for my senior season,” Knight said in the same OU press release. “I can promise you that no one is more proud to be a Sooner than I am, and in no way shape or form will this take away from my excitement and commitment heading into the championship season,” Knight said in a statement. “I am truly touched by the support from both Coach Stoops and Coach (Lincoln) Riley, as well as all of Sooner Nation during this time. “Enough about me. Let’s go beat the Tigers. Boomer!”

“He’s a great person,” Venables said earlier this week before the ceremony for the Broyles Award, given to the nation’s top assistant coach. “He treats you incredibly well. He brings the best out of you.” Yes, the guy who spent 13 years devoted to the Sooners and to Stoops, only to be told that he’d go no longer be the defensive coordinator calling the shots but rather the co-defensive coordinator letting the re-hired Mike Stoops make the final decisions made a point of saying how well Bob Stoops treats people. I realized those are just words, but they are words Venables didn’t have to say. He wasn’t asked specifically about how Bob treated him — Venables was actually answering a question about Stoops recruiting him to Kan-
sas State — so Venables could’ve said any number of things. Instead, he felt compelled to tout Bob’s humanitarian side. Then again, Stoops has done more for Venables than anyone not related to him by blood or marriage. Venables was a slight but salty junior-college linebacker when Stoops gave him a ticket to play major-college football. Stoops was a young defensive coordinator at Kansas State, where Bill Snyder’s reclamation project was only a few years old. Stoops needed talent, but hunger and work ethic were also appreciated. He found all of that in Venables, who’d become an All-American at Garden City (Kan.) Community College. Stoops was sold. Ditto for Venables. “It was easy for me to be sold immediately on his vision,” Venables said, “but he also has an infectious confidence about him that players and coaches love to play for him and work for him.” Eventually, Venables did

GA ROBBY DISCHER ACCEPTS FULL-TIME POSITION AT TOLEDO
MIGHT BARRY SANDERS’ SON LAND AT OSU AS GRADUATE TRANSFER?
TUNING IN
MEN’S SOCCER
Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy remains optimistic that starting quarterback Mason Rudolph will be ready for the Cowboys’ Jan. 1 Sugar Bowl matchup against Ole Miss, but Rudolph remained sidelined as of late Friday. “Mason is in a boot … we’re going to try and get him to practice 23, 21 and 20, however far that is,” Gundy said. “So for now, we’re going to leave him in the boot. Obviously, J.W. (Walsh) is getting those reps. Everybody else is healthy.” Rudolph reportedly underwent foot surgery following the Bedlam loss in which he attempted just three passes. Walsh earned the start, passing for 235 yards with two touchdowns along with 50 yards rushing. “(Walsh) played good in the Bedlam game,” Gundy said. “If we could have slowed them down a little bit, they would have been talking about how (Walsh) played. But it’s great for him. Hopefully, we’ll have Mason. But if not, it’s really nice for him to be able to reap some of the benefits of sticking around.”
OSU graduate assistant Robby Discher has been hired as a full-time assistant at Toledo. Discher, who spent the past two seasons at OSU, will reportedly join Toledo’s staff immediately to coordinate special teams and coach tight ends, according to FootballScoop.com. Discher’s addition is the result of a staff shakeup that sent former Toledo head coach Matt Campbell to replace fired Paul Rhoads at Iowa State. Toledo promoted offensive coordinator Jason Candle to head coach. It faces Temple in the Boca Raton Bowl on Dec. 22 in Florida. Discher was brought on to OSU from Sam Houston State prior to the 2014 season to coordinate special teams for the Cowboys. After just one year, he was named the 2014 Special Teams Coordinator of the Year by FootballScoop — the first-ever GA to receive the honor in its seven-year history, voted on by past winners. Under Discher’s direction, the Cowboys returned three kicks for touchdowns. OSU improved 58 spots nationally in opponent punt return average (3.29 yards) from 2013. Sophomore kicker Ben Grogan improved his season-long accuracy by 18 percent. “It’s funny, “Gundy said. “I got a message last night: ‘Coach, I took the job and I’m not coming back.’ I thought he’d at least come back and help me a little bit. … So I called him earlier this morning and had a few questions before I tried to jump into Ole Miss’ special teams part. He said he had about 10 minutes that he could talk to me, then he had to put his own punt team in this afternoon for their bowl practice. “Then I said, ‘Really, I only get 10 minutes? That’s all I get?’ He said, ‘Coach, I got a full paying job up here.’ I said, ‘I understand.’ I was happy for Robby.”

is believed to have the opportunity to graduate, enroll at another university this fall, and have one remaining year of football eligibility. Social media reports have fueled speculation that OSU might be a landing spot — the same program where his father by the same name won the Heisman Trophy in 1988 after rushing for 2,850 yards and 44 touchdowns. OSU was one of more than a dozen programs to offer Sanders a scholarship back in 2012. Gundy addressed the potential for Sanders to become a Cowboy with reporters Friday. “I haven’t had any direct contact with Jr. nor with Barry,” Gundy said. “We have to treat them exactly like a high school recruit. We can’t comment on them. The players that have come here — Patmon and Hunter and those guys — they finish, they graduate, they get a release, and then we’re able to have contact with them. “It has been a topic, because I’ve had multiple compliance officers from our university call and say, ‘You can’t have contact with him.’ Of course I say, ‘I understand that.’ We hear the same information that you do.” Sanders’ career stats at Stanford: 113 carries for 670 yards and five touchdowns along with 12 catches for 89 yards receiving. OSU is expected to return three senior running backs on its 2016 roster: Chris Carson, Rennie Childs and Raymond Taylor. BY KYLE FREDRICKSON, STAFF WRITER
both for Stoops. He started for the Wildcats, making 124 tackles and earning honorable mention All-Big Eight honors as a senior, and when his playing days were done, Stoops gave him another ticket, this one to coach major-college football. Stoops hired Venables as a graduate assistant at K-State. Six years later, Stoops made Venables his co-defensive coordinator at OU. “He’s a great, great leader and one that is easy to follow,” Venables said. “He’s very inspiring. He brings out the best in you as both a player and coach. “He had a simplicity and an aggressiveness to him, a go-for-broke attitude.” Again, this doesn’t sound like a guy who’s bent on revenge, does it? The thing is, even if Venables’ career hadn’t gone so well after leaving Soonerville, there’s a chance he’d still be a Bob Stoops fan. These guys are cut from the same textile. Even though their
backgrounds are different — Stoops came from a big Catholic family in Ohio, Venables from a broken home in Kansas — they see the world the same way. They value toughness and tenacity. They are loyal, no-nonsense types. You could say Stoops was a mentor to Venables, but really, it was more like a big brother. “I’ve learned, shoot, I’ve run out of fingers and toes (counting),” Venables said. “Just the discipline, the details, the fundamentals of the game. Getting players to be aggressive, confident but humble. Perpetuate the positive and not the negative.” So, even though Venables wants to beat Stoops and the Sooners as much as he’s ever wanted to beat anyone, it’s not because this is a grudge match. It’s more like a family feud. JENNI CARLSON: JENNI CAN BE REACHED AT (405) 475-4125 OR JCARLSON@ OKLAHOMAN.COM. LIKE HER AT FACEBOOK.

FANTASY SPORTS COURT STAYS INJUNCTION BLOCKING DRAFTKINGS, FANDUEL IN NEW YORK
Daily fantasy sports companies can continue to do business in New York after a state court late Friday reversed an earlier ruling that could have shut them down. Friday morning, Supreme Court Justice Manuel Mendez issued an injunction, sought by Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman, suspending the operations of DraftKings and FanDuel — the two largest daily fantasy sports companies — in the state. Schneiderman, a Democrat, has filed a civil lawsuit to shut down the companies, calling them illegal gambling operations. But late Friday afternoon, the Appellate Division of state Supreme Court granted an immediate stay of the injunction. “This immediate stay was granted, so we will remain fully operational in New York,” a DraftKings spokesman said in an email. A Schneiderman aide said the stay is for one month and that the attorney general will seek to quash it. New York-based FanDuel and Boston-based DraftKings control about 95 percent of the daily fantasy sports market, officials have said. The companies claim they offer games of skill, not chance, and are, therefore, legal. In his decision, Mendez warned that “granting or denial of a preliminary injunction does not constitute a determination of the ultimate issues.” BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

THUNDER JOURNAL
Thunder’s defense on the upswing On occasion during a timeout at a home game, Kevin Durant will lean over the scorer’s table and take a look at the stat sheet for the quarter. Points. Rebounds. Assists. Turnovers. The Thunder star is looking just as closely at the team’s defensive numbers. “I look at that more so than anything,” Durant said of the Thunder’s defensive statistics. “We’ve always been in that Top 5 to 7 range. I don’t know where we are right now, but we’ve been holding teams to low field-goal percentage, low points, so we’ve just gotta keep it up.” In the last five games prior to playing the Jazz on Friday, the Thunder had a defensive rating of 99.1, the eighth-best mark in the NBA in that stretch. The Thunder entered Friday ranked 10th in the league in defensive rating, allowing 100 points per 100 possessions. “I do see strides in terms of their concentration and focus on that end of the floor,” Thunder coach Billy Donovan said. “I think we can still continue to get better.”

JAZZ STARTS FRESH
On Friday, the Jazz started two rookies against the Thunder. With starting center Rudy Gobert out indefinitely with a Grade II MCL sprain in his left knee, Trey Lyles, 20, received his introduction to the Thunder front line. Eight seconds to go before halftime, Lyles exchanged some words with Steven Adams, with an official having to step in between the two. The other rookie, point guard Raul Neto, 23, was taken into the post immediately by Russell Westbrook in the first quarter. In that span, Westbrook went off for 13 points on 5-of-7 shooting.
Russell Westbrook had two steals Friday, and the Thunder continued to improve their defensive play in a win against the Jazz.

with 2:02 remaining. Booker briefly tied the game at the free-throw line, converting on the second of two shots … and Durant promptly erased the tie with a 3-pointer from the top of the arc at 1:06. Durant’s pull-up jumper with 11 seconds remaining put the Thunder ahead by five, and sent Jazz fans to the exits. On each of his final two shots, Durant turned to the Thunder bench and pulled his jersey down slightly at the armholes with both hands. The Thunder (15-8) gets the Jazz again at home on Sunday. Oklahoma City improved to 2-3 in the second game of back-to-backs this season, both wins coming over the Jazz (10-11).
“Great teams do,” Durant said of winning on the second night of a backto-back. “The Golden States, the San Antonio, the Torontos, the Clevelands, they come through on the back-to-back.” Thunder coach Billy Donovan spoke of the difficulty of winning in the second night of a backto-back, especially in the third game in four days. It doesn’t hurt your chances with Durant on the court late in games. “I think the one thing about this group is that they’re highly competitive,” Donovan said. “During that (Jazz fourth-quarter) run, they missed some shots, got them back and then scored. “When you’re playing a back-to-back and you’re coming in on the road against a good team, you’re going to have to dig a little deeper.”

OSU BASKETBALL Ford shouted “blow your whistle” following some physical play underneath the basket. Ford’s son, Brooks, is Stillwater sophomore. “We have consistent
dialogue with our student-athletes about their representation of Oklahoma State University and Cowboy Basketball,” Ford said in a statement released through Oklahoma State. “The lesson is always that there are no days off from that responsibility. “While people can debate whether my comments to a referee during a high school game involv-
ing my son warranted being asked to leave the building, as Mike Holder and I discussed this morning, there is no question I should have exercised better judgment in not publicly expressing my feelings. I regret the situation, and apologize for the unfortunate and unwanted distraction it has caused.” Stillwater lost the game 63-51. Brooks Ford scored 12 points off the bench.

WARRIORS WIN IN DOUBLE OT, STAY PERFECT Stephen Curry scored 38 points with 11 rebounds and eight assists and the Golden State Warriors improved to 24-0 this season by outlasting the Boston Celtics 124-119 in double overtime Friday night. Counting the wins in their final four games last season, the defending NBA champions have won 28 in a row. They broke a tie with the 2012-13 Miami Heat for the second-longest winning streak in league history, and now trail only the 33 straight by the Los Angeles Lakers in 1971-72. Curry made only 9 of 27 shots from the field. But he was 6 for 13 from 3-point range and a perfect 14 of 14 from the free throw line, sinking a pair of foul shots with 13.4 seconds left to give the Warriors a three-point lead.
PACERS BEAT THE HEAT Monta Ellis had 24 points, six assists and six steals to help the Indiana Pacers beat the Miami Heat 96-83 on Friday night to end a three-game losing streak. Ian Mahinmi scored 18 points and grabbed 12 rebounds for his second double-double of the season. Paul George, the NBA’s third-leading scorer, had 23 for Indiana.
CAVS CRUISE PAST MAGIC LeBron James had 25 points and eight assists and the Cleveland Cavaliers rolled past the Orlando Magic 111-76 on Friday night. Timofey Mozgov added 17 points as Cleveland claimed its 12th straight win over Orlando. The game marked the season debut of Cavaliers guard Iman Shumpert, who had been out since injuring his right wrist before training camp. He played 25 minutes and made 5 of 7 shots while scoring 14 points.
NBA SAYS CARMELO FOULED ON LAST SHOT THURSDAY The NBA says Carmelo Anthony was fouled as he took the last shot in the New York Knicks’ two-point loss in Sacramento on Thursday night. Anthony’s shot from 28 feet that would have won the game bounced off the rim as the Knicks lost 99-97. In its report detailing the calls in the last 2 minutes of the game, the NBA says Friday that Rajon Rondo grabbed Anthony’s
AUSTIN, Texas — According to people with knowledge of the trip, Texas President Greg Fenves, football coach Charlie Strong and Athletic Director Mike Perrin were to fly to Tulsa, in an effort to woo Golden Hurricane assistant coach Sterlin Gilbert to be the Longhorns’ offensive coordinator. Their flight was to leave Austin on Friday evening, according to the people who were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter. A university spokesman did not immediately return a telephone message seeking comment. Gilbert interviewed with Strong this week but reportedly turned down an offer Friday. Details of the Texas meeting with Gilbert were not immediately available. The effort would be an extraordinary move by Texas administrators to snare an assistant coach who wasn’t Strong’s first choice for the job but could still be tantamount in helping turn around a struggling program after consecutive losing seasons. Gilbert is the co-offensive coordinator at Tulsa but isn’t the lead play caller. Tulsa (6-6) faces Virginia Tech (6-6) in the Dec.
26 Independence Bowl. Earlier Friday, after reports surfaced that Gilbert turned down Texas, Fenves tweeted his full support for Strong, adding, “I am committed to helping him move Longhorn Football forward.” Perrin, who was initially brought on as interim athletic director in September and given the permanent job earlier this month, also has stated full support for Strong. Next season, Strong will be in the third year of a five-year contract that pays more than $5 million per year. He has been interviewing candidates for offensive coordinator to rejuvenate one of the worst offenses in the Big 12. Strong initially interviewed TCU co-offensive coordinator Sonny Cumbie, who turned down an offer this week. On Friday, multiple reports had Gilbert initially ready to accept the job, only to reverse course and stay with the Golden Hurricane. The struggles to hire a top assistants have raised questions and anxiety among Texas fans about their program’s stature within the Big 12 and nationally. Since playing for the national title after the 2009 season, Texas is 41-35. Strong is 11-14 in two seasons.

The Knicks were in the bonus, so Anthony would have had two free throws had a foul been called.
RONDO SUSPENDED FOR DISPUTE WITH REF Sacramento Kings guard Rajon Rondo has been suspended one game without pay after a dispute with an official during a loss last week in Mexico City. The league said Rondo directed a derogatory and offensive term toward an official on Dec. 3 during a game against Boston and then didn’t leave the court in a timely manner after being ejected.
76ERS EXTEND BROWN’S CONTRACT Amid one of the worst stretches of basketball in NBA history, the Philadelphia 76ers have signed coach Brett Brown to a contract extension. Brown said he always wanted to stay in Philadelphia, even as the franchise was gutted of talented, veteran players for a shot at building a winner through lottery draft picks. He has two losing streaks of at least 26 games on his resume. Brown and the 76ers went 19-63 in 2013-14, 18-64 last season and carried a 1-22 record into Friday night’s game against Detroit.

Even before the Heisman Trophy is handed out Saturday night, it is tempting to look ahead to 2016 and what could be a doozy of a race for college football’s most famous bronze statue. While Alabama’s Derrick Henry is likely to both win the Heisman and head to the NFL after the Crimson Tide’s playoff run, the other two finalists, Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson and Stanford scat back Christian McCaffrey, are sophomores who will return. Add Oklahoma’s Baker Mayfield, Florida State’s Dalvin Cook and LSU’s Leonard Fournette and there is a strong chance five of the top eight Heisman vote-getters from this year will be back in 2016.

ALABAMA HIRES PRUITT AS DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR
Ohio State coach Urban Meyer has suspended defensive lineman Adolphus Washington from the Fiesta Bowl after he was cited by police this week for solicitation. Columbus police cited Washington Wednesday night with a first-degree misdemeanor. Washington issued an apology Thursday through the university to his team, family and friends. He says he’s disappointed in himself and will learn from his mistake. Washington is a senior who has four sacks and 49 tackles in 12 games this season. Ohio State plays Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 1.
Alabama has hired Jeremy Pruitt as defensive coordinator after he served in that role at Georgia and Florida State. Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban announced the hiring of Pruitt, a former Alabama assistant, on Friday. He was on Mark Richt’s staff at Georgia and fills the vacancy left when Kirby Smart took over the Bulldogs program. Pruitt spent the past two seasons running the Bulldogs’ defense, which currently ranks eighth nationally in total yards allowed and is first in pass defense. He was defensive coordinator and secondary coach for Florida State’s national championship team in 2013 before joining Richt’s staff. Pruitt was on Saban’s staff from 2007-2012, working as defensive backs coach the final three years. He worked with first-round picks Mark Barron, Dre Kirkpatrick and Dee Milliner.

Cousins making big improvements again for OU NO. 7 OKLAHOMA VS. ORAL ROBERTS
Ryan Aber raber@ oklahoman.com
OU BASKETBALL NORMAN — After each of the last two seasons, teammates have voted Oklahoma guard Isaiah Cousins as the most improved player on the Sooners. If the players took a vote through six games this season, it’s likely that Cousins would win the award yet again. The senior from Mount Vernon, N.Y., is playing the best basketball of his career and is coming off a careerbest game in the Sooners’ biggest matchup of the season, a 78-55 win over No. 9 Villanova in Hawaii. Saturday, Cousins will lead the No. 7 Sooners against Oral Roberts at 1 p.m. at Lloyd Noble Center. The move to point guard this season, essentially swapping places with Jordan Woodard in the lineup, has not only made Oklahoma a more potent team offensively but has boosted Cousins’ pro prospects. “The game is slowing down for him,” Sooners assistant Lew Hill said. “He’s keeping things real

simple now. He’s learning to change speeds.” When Hill recruited Cousins out of the New York City area, Cousins’ mid-range game was one of the things that was attractive. That part of Cousins’ game slipped a bit during his time at OU but has made a return this season after Cousins took a big step forward on his 3-point shooting as a junior. “He’s worked so hard on his shot and making good
plays,” Sooners coach Lon Kruger said. “He’s strong with the ball, explosive out of the backcourt.” Against the Wildcats, he hit four 3-pointers but also scored on pull-up jumpers and by driving to the bucket. “You see him coming out stopping on a dime,” Hill said. “He kept trying to get too far in (before). Now, he’s learning to take what the defense gives him. It’s like a quarterback, when your first option is
taken away, I’ve got to go to my second option. He’s learning to do that. He’s putting it all together.” Perhaps that was never more evident than just past the midpoint of the first half against Villanova when he took a pass from Buddy Hield and looked to drive baseline. When Villanova’s Phil Booth got close to cutting him off, Cousins pulled up and nailed about an eight-foot jumper. Cousins has more than

doubled his average assists output over last season, including a career-high 10 against the Wildcats. “He’s starting to run the team,” Hill said. “You can’t keep him out of the lane but now, when he gets to the lane, he knows what to do with it. Before, when
he got into the lane, if you took the first play away, he’d get caught up in the air and turnover. “Now, he’s taking his time getting to the lane and now when you take his first option away, he’s going to a second option, third option.”
Harrah star Roberson decides OU has nice ring to it Jason Kersey
2016 OU FOOTBALL COMMITMENT LIST
jkersey@ oklahoman.com
Players from the high school graduating class of 2016 who have committed to accept OU’s scholarship offer. Harrah’s Logan Roberson signed a financial agreement on Friday and will enroll for the spring semester. Players who do not sign financial agreements can sign national letters of intent on Feb. 3.
OU FOOTBALL HARRAH — J.D. Runnels strolled into the Harrah High School atrium wearing a crimson and white, checkered dress shirt and a lot of bling on his left hand. The former standout Oklahoma fullback sported his OU graduation ring on his thumb; his 2003 Rose Bowl championship ring on his index finger; Big 12 championship rings on his middle and ring fingers; and his massive 2006 NFC championship ring — earned during his time with the Chicago Bears — on his thumb. “Just wanna show Logan what he’s getting into,” Runnels said with a big grin. At a Friday morning ceremony, Harrah offensive lineman Logan Roberson signed a financial aid agreement with Oklahoma, allowing him to enroll for the spring semester and get a head start on his college football career.

committed to the Sooners in June after impressing at OU’s summer camp, was all smiles after signing to thunderous applause from the gathered Harrah faithful. “This has been an awesome experience,” said Aaron Roberson, Logan’s father and Harrah’s offensive line coach. “Playing for the University of Oklahoma … you couldn’t ask for a better thing for a small-town football player.”
Coming from Harrah — not known as a football factory — made things tough on Roberson early in his recruitment. When he began working out with Runnels, who runs a gym and trains college football hopefuls in Choctaw, his speed and agility were sorely lacking. He ran a 6.1 in the 40-yard dash the first time he worked out with Runnels. After his junior season Roberson’s only major college football offer was from

Illinois. Runnels remembers Roberson showing up at his gym genuinely hurt. “That kid would show up just red-faced,” Runnels said. “You could see it. He was ready to work.” And work he did. Roberson dreamed of playing for Oklahoma. After he ran a 5.0 in the 40 at the OU camp, offensive line coach Bill Bedenbaugh was so impressed he extended a scholarship offer. Roberson immediately accepted.

A LOOK AT SOME OF THE SOONERS’ REMAINING 2016 RECRUITING TARGETS Oklahoma currently has 13 commitments in its 2016 recruiting class. As OU coaches wrap up a couple weeks on the road recruiting, here is a look at six of the Sooners’ top remaining targets for 2016.

“He definitely has become a role model for our younger kids, who can now see that if you set your mind to something, you can do it,” Harrah coach Phil Webb said. “Of course we know genetics help, but he is a true example of hard work, committing himself and doing the right things.” Roberson asked Runnels to bring his old football helmet Friday so he could have OU and Harrah helmets on the signing table. That’s when Run-
nels decided to wear his rings. “It just felt like time to show him,” Runnels said. “There are very few things you can tell somebody that will make an impression like seeing that. You can tell him, ‘Playing at OU’s special,’ but you show them something like this …” The message was received. “Those rings are awesome,” Roberson said. “I can’t wait to get my own.”

STATE COLLEGE NOTEBOOK
Lambert takes over SNU football program Southern Nazarene needed a coach to turn around its football program. The answer? Someone who has done such rebuilding jobs before. SNU announced Wednesday it hired Andy Lambert to replace Craig Hubbard as the school’s football coach. Lambert comes from Sterling College in Kansas, where he had a 72-52 record in 12 seasons. Sterling went winless in two consecutive seasons before Lambert arrived, eventually leading the school to the NAIA Championship Series in 2013. Before that, Lambert coached at Trinity International, where he had a 102-95 record. Trinity was in last place the year before he arrived, but ended up going 22-11 over his final three seasons. “What Andy has done at Trinity and Sterling proves that he has a niche of finding ways to turn around programs,” SNU director of athletics Bobby Martin said in a release. “We expect that he can do the same at SNU and we look forward to the future.” SNU football went 1-10 this past season, and a win over Oklahoma Baptist in the team’s season finale snapped a 32-game losing streak. Lambert becomes the school’s fourth football coach in the programs 17 seasons. Lambert was the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference’s Coach of the Year in 2004, 2007 and 2013. “Southern Nazarene’s commitment to a Christian education and the implementation of taking our spiritual dynamic to whatever we do is one of the most attractive aspects in this job,” Lambert said. “Our family is excited about the transition. We left a lot in Sterling and have great memories, but we are ready for the new enterprise here and the challenge of it all.”
COCANNOUER GETS ANOTHER HONOR Southwestern Oklahoma State lost to Central Oklahoma 38-21 in the Texarkana Live United Bowl, but SWOSU coach Dan Cocannouer wasn’t done winning this year. Cocannouer, already the Great American Conference’s Coach of the Year, was named the AFCA Region 4 Coach of the Year on Monday after leading the Bulldogs to their best season since 1997. SWOSU finished the year 8-4 and won its final six regular season games to qualify for a bowl game. “To tell you the truth, I think this award needs to be cut up into about 120 pieces because it belongs to all of our players and my assistant coaches for all their hard work this season,” Cocannouer said in a release. “I’m very humbled to earn this award and share it with all the members of our SWOSU football family.” The AFCA announces its five 2015 National Coach of the Year winners at the AFCA Convention on Jan. 12 in San Antonio, Texas.
OBU’S LUCY SETS NATIONAL RECORD Oklahoma Baptist volleyball’s Kaitlyn Lucy set a NCAA Division II record for digs in a season last Friday in the NCCAA National Semifinal. The Lady Bison went on to lose 0-3 (19-25, 17-25, 23-25) to Indiana Wesleyan in the national championship match. Lucy finished the season with 978 digs, breaking the previous record of 932. Lucy was named an NCCAA First Team All-American, and Kynnedy Myers and Cat Roth earned second-team honors.
THOMAS SHINING FOR ECU East Central guard Stirling Thomas was the Great American Conference’s Player of the Week for the second time this season after strong performances in a pair of big wins. Thomas scored 33 points in a Dec. 3 win against Henderson State, last season’s GAC regular-season champion. He also scored 27 against Ouachita Baptist, leading the Tigers to a 79-74 win on Dec. 5. The win at Ouachita Baptist was the first time OBU had lost at home in more than a year, ending a 15-game home winning streak. Thomas is averaging 22.4 points per game this season for the 5-2 Tigers.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL NOTEBOOK TCU OVERCOMES SLOW START TO BEAT WINLESS PRAIRIE VIEW A&M Vladimir Brodziansky had 16 points on 7-of-7 shooting and TCU nearly doubled its first-half offensive output to pull away from winless Prairie View A&M for a 73-55 victory Friday night. Prairie View A&M (0-8) remains one of six teams in Division I basketball without a win, but challenged TCU (5-4) early on. The Horned Frogs led 26-23 at halftime in a foul-laden, turnover-filled struggle from the opening tip. The teams committed a total of 58 fouls, with 33 on the Panthers, and 44 turnovers, including 23 by TCU. Devonta Abron had 12 points and 10 boards to lead TCU. Oklahoma City native Chauncey Collins filled up the stat sheet for TCU in reserve duty. Collins shot 3-of-7 for nine points and had two rebounds, two assists and two steals.
BIG 12 WON’T PUNISH IOWA STATE FOR COURT STORMING INCIDENT The Big 12 says it won’t discipline Iowa State after students stormed the basketball court in a scene that left a newspaper columnist with a broken leg. The league says Iowa State handled the postgame celebration consistent with the Big 12’s guidelines for sportsmanship and ethical conduct. Randy Peterson of the Des Moines Register was knocked over while walking from press row to the postgame news conference after fans rushed the court Thursday night following Iowa State’s 83-82 win over rival Iowa. Peterson broke the tibia and fibia in his left leg. On Friday, he says he has no problem with fans rushing the floor after a big win.
MICHIGAN’S GUARD SAYS SEASON IS OVER Michigan guard Spike Albrecht says his season is over after offseason hip surgery limited his effectiveness. The 5-foot-11 senior, who turned heads three seasons ago when he scored 17 points in the first half of the NCAA title game as a virtual unknown, has averaged only 8.6 minutes a game in 2015-16. Albrecht says this has been the toughest decision he’s ever had to make, but he needs to take the proper time to finish his rehabilitation. COMPILED BY CHRIS BRANNICK FROM WIRE REPORTS

Landing Heyward signals Cubs resolve to win now BY MARK GONZALES Chicago Tribune
The Cubs gave their World Series-thirsty supporters the biggest of numerous gifts Friday at the expense of their long-standing rival. In agreeing to terms on an eight-year, $184 million contract with 26-year-old outfielder Jason Heyward, the Cubs completed their fourth major acquisition during an eight-day span while further weakening a Cardinals team that has won three consecutive National League Central titles. The Cubs didn’t confirm the deal, as Heyward must pass a physical before it becomes official. But a source confirmed the agreement, adding that the Cubs sold the multitalented Heyward on their future and the chance to play a significant role in winning their first World Series since 1908. For now, the Cubs also have weakened the Cardinals, who lost 13-game winner John Lackey to them as well when the free-agent starter agreed to a two-year, $32 million deal Dec. 4. At the winter meetings Tuesday, the Cubs signed All-Star utility player Ben

Zobrist to a four-year, $56 million contract and acquired pitcher Adam Warren from the Yankees for expendable second baseman Starlin Castro within a one-hour span. That momentum obviously carried into the tail end of the negotiations with Heyward, a three-
time Gold Glove winner playing right field who possesses a lifetime .353 on-base percentage. Although many observers seem surprised that the 6-foot-5, 245-pound Heyward has hit more than 18 home runs only once in his six-year career with the Braves and Car-
dinals, the Cubs obviously believe his best days are ahead. Heyward is a career .311 hitter at Wrigley Field, where for now he’s expected to take over for free agent Dexter Fowler in center field. Heyward also may bat leadoff, a role he fulfilled hitting .280 with a .354 on-base percentage during parts of his five years with the Braves. Heyward’s ability to get on base should enhance RBI opportunities for Anthony Rizzo, Kris Bryant and Kyle Schwarber — who all are 26 or younger. Heyward leads majorleague outfielders with 122 runs saved since 2010, and his baserunning skills are expected to please manager Joe Maddon, who places a premium on those talents. Being part of a talented and youthful lineup was another reason why Heyward was swayed toward the Cubs instead of the Cardinals and Nationals. One source said Heyward turned down $200 million from the Nationals to sign with the Cubs, and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Heyward rejected a similar financial offer from the Cardinals. Despite the silence from the front office, numerous
Cubs players expressed their jubilation on Twitter. “Even though I might have to change my number (22), I’m perfectly okay with that,” shortstop Addison Russell tweeted. “I just wanna help fly that (hashtag)W.” Bryant tweeted: “Lackey, Zobrist & J-Hey. Cubbies comin in hot!!” Since taking over baseball operations before the 2012 season, Cubs president Theo Epstein has stressed building sustained success. But the recent signings reflect some urgency, especially after the Cubs surprised many when they won 97 games and advanced to the National League Championship Series before the Mets swept them in four games. Heyward’s contract includes two opt-out clauses, with the first as soon as after 2018 or 2019 depending on plate-appearance thresholds. In structuring the contract, the Cubs believe Heyward will be able to achieve the greatness forecast for him after the Braves took him as the 14th overall selection in the 2007 amateur draft. Heyward hit a careerhigh 27 home runs in 2012 with the Braves, although
18 were hit away from the Braves’ spacious home park. In his contract year with the Cardinals last summer, Heyward hit a career-high .293 with a .359 on-base percentage to go with 13 home runs, 60 RBIs and 23 stolen bases in 154 games despite batting in an injury-depleted lineup. The creatively structured contracts of Lackey and Zobrist, thanks in part to the cooperation of the Cubs business operation along with a mega local television contract expected to crystallize before the 2020 season, made it possible for the Cubs to acquire Heyward. And with Heyward coming aboard, the Cubs may not be done. A source said numerous clubs have inquired about right fielder Jorge Soler, with the Braves, Rays and Indians among the most interested, and the Cubs still desire more starting pitching. With 2015 National League Cy Young Award winner Jake Arrieta eligible for free agency after 2017 and Lackey’s contract expiring at the same time, the Cubs would like another starting pitcher under team control for several seasons.

McDaniel: Has played in every varsity game for four years FROM PAGE 1B
McDaniel just wanted to be healed. So, he underwent the 10-hour procedure. “I understood the risks,” McDaniel said. “It had gotten to the point it had affected my day-to-day life. They made the decision I would have wanted them to.”
a heart surgery, plays both sides of the ball and never comes off the field, and he’s not tired at all,” senior linebacker Andrew McDonald said. “You see him over there and you know we’re good.”
CLOSING A CHAPTER
FASTER THAN 300 BEATS PER MINUTE McDaniel was 4 when he first noticed a pain in his chest. He remembers being at a birthday party shortly after the diagnosis. While spinning on a tire swing his chest began to pound faster and faster. “I remember trying to run up a hill to go get my parents and then I just passed out and collapsed and started throwing up,” McDaniel said. After consulting with doctors and undergoing several tests, it was determined that McDaniel would be able to play sports. But the caveat was that the condition would worsen as he got older, and an episode could happen away from athletics. “The doctors did say it could kill you,” Mark McDaniel said. While playing basketball in the eighth grade at Westminster School, he struggled to remain on the court, so much to the point that he would run off the floor, lie down and put his hands over his head hoping to slow down his heart. At times it raced faster than 300 beats per minute. For teenagers, the average maximum heart rate is 200 to 250 beats. “It’s scary because I would have no control whatsoever,” McDaniel said. “If I just laid down and if it didn’t self-correct, there was nothing I could do.” The McDaniels turned to Dr. Warren

M. Jackman at the Heart Rhythm Institute at OU Medical Center. According to the hospital’s website, Jackman and his co-workers have been instrumental in the development of radiofrequency ablation, a procedure in which a physician guides a catheter with an electrode
at its tip to the area of the heart muscle affected and radiofrequency energy is transmitted to kill the heart muscle cells in the area. That procedure was McDaniel’s best option and came with the possibility of a pacemaker, which meant no sports.
His mom gives thanks every time Cole walks to midfield as a team captain for the coin toss. “I just thank God that he’s had this opportunity because it’s been life-changing for him,” Stacy said. “He’s been able to draw so much from sports and hopefully will just be able to continue to give back as he grows.” McDaniel has played in every varsity game for four years, become a starting tight end weeks into his freshman season. He’s also a strong linebacker with 80 tackles, seven sacks and two interceptions for a defense that has allowed 11.6 points per game. “He’s the guy at Charger Iron during summer workouts giving his all all of the time,” Heritage Hall coach Brett Bogert said, “and the guys look up to him for that.” McDaniel says Saturday will be his last game. He has a 32 on his ACT and a 3.97 GPA and hopes to major in business at Oklahoma, Southern California, Texas or SMU. “I’ve gotten so much out of playing football and basketball here at Heritage that when I think about the alternative — like, if it would have gone wrong and I would have had a pacemaker — I don’t even know where I’d be at right now,” McDaniel said. “It’s been almost my entire world.”

Bengals’ Dalton and Green among NFL’s best duos already CINCINNATI — Only four full seasons into their careers, Andy Dalton and A.J. Green rank among the NFL’s top pass-and-catch duos, right up there with Marinoto-Clayton and some of the other greats. The only asterisk: They have yet to put their imprint on a playoff game. The Bengals’ duo could take a big step in that direction on Sunday when Cincinnati (10-2) hosts the Pittsburgh Steelers (7-5) with a chance to clinch the AFC North title and another playoff opportunity. They’ve had some of their best times together against the Steelers. Green was a first-round pick in 2011, and Dalton came to Cincinnati in the second round. They both started immediately and have accomplished some nearly unprecedented things in their first five seasons. “When you think back to when Andy first got here, he had to play,” offensive coordinator Hue Jackson said. “When you think back to when A.J. first got here, he had to play. They taught themselves how to play, to be honest with you. And now you’re reaping the benefits of that because they played way early.” Both of them reached milestones during a 37-3 win in Cleveland last Sunday. Dalton joined Peyton Manning as the only players to throw for 3,000 yards in each of their first five seasons — Manning did it his first 13 seasons before missing a year because of injury. Green joined Randy Moss as the only players with 1,000 yards receiving in each of their first five seasons — Moss did it for his first six years. They’re also trying to extend their standing as the top pass-andcatch duo for the start of an NFL career. They hooked up 324 times for 4,735 yards in their first four

Their 33 touchdown catches match the mark with Miami’s Dan Marino and Mark Clayton. Green emerged as one of the NFL’s best receivers during his rookie season. Dalton has taken more time to join the elite quarterbacks. He leads the NFL in passer rating this week at 107.4, the second time this season that he’s been atop the list. One of the biggest changes in Dalton this season is that he’s not trying to force the ball to his best receiver. Dalton threw
20 interceptions in 2013 and 17 last season, often because he tried to get the ball to a covered Green. This season, he’s thrown only six interceptions along with 25 touchdown passes. “I’ve been smarter with the ball, not necessarily cautious,” Dalton said. “I’m still taking chances when I know I can, but not doing anything stupid. “I’ve played for a while now and so I understand and have been in a lot of situations that I can pull from and know when to do it and when not to.”
Cardinals’ Minter takes control of defense and shines
TEMPE, Ariz. — Kevin Minter didn’t have the immediate success he expected when the Arizona Cardinals drafted him in the second round out of LSU in 2013. He’s having it now. Minter, as middle linebacker, calls the defensive sets for the front seven of a Cardinals team that was 10-2 and had won six in a row heading into a game Thursday night against Minnesota. For two seasons, he waited for his chance, first behind Karlos Dansby in 2013, then behind Larry Foote last year. “He learned from two really good players in Karlos and Larry how to be a pro,” Arizona coach Bruce Arians said. As a rookie, he played one down on defense. The rest he spent on special teams. He played more last season, though usually in run situations, and he played most of the season with a torn pectoral muscle. He chose to play through the injury rather than shut it down for surgery. Sitting and watching — and
hurting — “humbled me,” Minter said. “Coming in here, me being a second-round pick, I wouldn’t say I was necessarily cocky,” he said, “but at the same time you’re thinking, ‘I’m going to play.’” Instead, Dansby signed a oneyear deal for the job. Last season, Foote inked a one-year contract. “I got a reality check when Karlos came in,” Minter said. “He really showed me how to be a professional. The next year with Foote, it was even more so. So it means a lot playing my position now and doing what I always knew I could do.” Last year, Minter had 49 tackles, five for a loss, and one pass defended. He passed those statistics this year, a long time ago. Through 10 games, Minter is second on the team with 80 tackles (behind Deone Bucannon’s 89) with 12 tackles for a loss, five quarterback hits, a forced fumble and five passes defended. All the while, he’s taking defensive signals and making sure others are where they’re supposed to be.
A pass intended for St. Louis Rams tight end Jared Cook (89) is broken up by Arizona Cardinals linebacker Kevin Minter, left, and free safety Rashad Johnson.
“He runs everything,” said Bucannon, who lines up alongside Minter in Arizona’s 4-3 scheme. “He probably says four or five different checks every play because he understands it. He’s a really intelligent player. He sets the front. He guides and directs our defensive linemen. He’s a lot like Rashad (Johnson) in our secondary. Everything with the front seven he puts in order before the play.” In Arizona’s win over Cincinnati, Minter had a career-high 12 tackles. He credits his strong year to his offseason, when he rehabilitated his pectoral muscle and studied the playbook. “I really got into the book,” he said, “just trying to understand where everybody fits into the defense. Because I’m the middle linebacker, I’m pretty much the quarterback, so I took my time to try to learn it and obviously you see the success that’s going on now.” Arians said Minter is in better shape than before. “He changed his body,” the coach said. “He went from just a straight thumper at 250 (pounds) to a more svelt thumper, and he can stay on the grass in third down situations now. He’s turned into a hell of a blitzer. He brings power when he blitzes.” Plus, Arians said, “his command of the defense is light years from where it was.” With all the defensive sets and blitz schemes the Cardinals use, it can get hectic out there. At least that’s the way it looks. “It’s not as bad as people think,” Minter said. “You get in the flow of the game, sometimes I won’t even be thinking I’m making calls. It’s just how the game goes. “This is my third year in this defense, so it’s like I know it like the back of my hand, and you can see that out there now.”

AROUND THE LEAGUE No Gronk, No Edelman, Throw it to Brady Tom Brady is New England’s best receiver. Brady caught a 36-yard pass in a stunning 35-28 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. With Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski injured, Bill Belichick might want to consider starting Jimmy Garoppolo at quarterback and splitting Brady out wide. After all, Brady has a career average of 29.5 yards per catch. His other reception was for 23 yards in 2001. It turns out Gisele was wrong. Her hubby can throw and catch the ball all by himself. Flashback to February 2012 when the Patriots lost to the New York Giants in the Super Bowl. Aaron Hernandez, Deion Branch and Wes Welker had key drops in the 21-17 loss. Afterward, Brady’s supermodel wife, Gisele Bundchen, angrily responded to hecklers by screaming: “My husband cannot (expletive) throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time.” It took him nearly four years, but Brady finally proved her wrong. Well, sort of. Brady didn’t throw the ball to himself. Wide receiver Danny Amendola tossed a perfect pass to No. 12 on an end-around. But that’s enough for Brady to pull a Keyshawn Johnson and start demanding someone throws him “the damn ball.” Here are other overreactions from Week 13: OVERREACTION: Cam Newton and the Panthers are going 19-0.

Buccaneers confident they can make strong stretch run TAMPA, Fla. — Logan Mankins played nine seasons with Tom Brady, so he knows a little bit about the New England quarterback’s competitive nature and will to win. The veteran offensive lineman sees some of the same qualities in rookie Jameis Winston, whose solid play has helped the improved Tampa Bay Buccaneers climb into playoff contention. The No. 1 overall pick in this year’s NFL draft led his third game-winning drive in six weeks Sunday, lifting the Bucs (6-6) over reeling NFC South rival Atlanta 23-19 and bolstering hopes for a strong stretch run. “All that matters to Tom is winning, and that’s what we get from Jameis,” said Mankins, a six-time Pro Bowl selection who’s in his second season with Tampa Bay. “He just wants to win, whether it’s him handing off, or him scrambling, or him throwing a touchdown pass. Whatever it takes to win, they’re going to do it.” The Bucs won two games a year ago and have now matched their victory total for the past two seasons combined. The latest enabled
Tampa Bay to remain one game behind the Seattle Seahawks in the race for the final NFC wild-card spot. Coach Lovie Smith believes the team needs to win its remaining four games to earn the franchise’s first berth since 2007. “That is the message for us. ... We don’t shy away from that at all. In order for us to have a chance, we need to win out. Simple as that,” Smith said. “There’s confidence we can, and with good reason. We’ve been saying for a while we’re getting better, that we’re a good football team,” the coach added. “We haven’t played our best always, but that’s how life is in the NFL.” Coaches and teammates not only rave about Winston’s work ethic, poise and leadership, but say his enthusiasm and positive attitude — on and off the field — are contagious. “If you’ve got any doubt about this team, I don’t see why. We’re putting good stuff out on the field,” tackle Demar Dotson said. “It’s a four-game season left, and we’ve got one at a time. We’ve got to keep

going, keep chomping at the bit. Nobody’s got time to glorify themselves. We’ve got to keep fighting and stay hungry.” Dotson is in his seventh season with the Bucs. He’s been on the team longer than anyone else on the roster, and he’s yet to be part of a team that’s made the playoffs. Winston said he’s inspired by Dotson and other teammates, who endured the drought. “The fun is just being able to come to work with my brothers, to see us fight. You look at the guys that were here last year, and when we get down, you look in their eyes and they’re still like: ‘We’re about to win this game’ because we believe,” the rookie said. “And when you believe and when you have that want-to, and you have that mentality that you will always persevere, you’re hard to beat.” Smith isn’t surprised that the team’s young quarterback has won over a locker room that has a strong veteran presence with players such as Mankins, Dotson, Gerald McCoy, Vincent Jackson, Lavonte David and Gosder Cherilus, who all speak highly of Winston. “I think if you deserve respect as a young player, a veteran will give it to you,” Smith said. “They don’t go on what you come in saying, but they watch closely.” Ultimately, though, it has been Winston’s ability to play well, particularly late in games, that’s commanded unwavering support. “There’s so much we’ve gone through this year, and they’re learning experiences. In the end you kind of judge — especially quarterbacks — on how do you play at the end of the game?” Smith said. “He’s on record now. And, of course, it’s not just throwing. It’s decision-making ... and if you need to run the football. He’s done it all,” the coach added. “Then there’s his presence on the sideline. ... It gives everybody hope that whatever it’ll take, we can pull it out.”

New England vs. Houston
O’Brien meets mentor Belichick when Texans host Patriots HOUSTON — When Houston coach Bill O’Brien left his job as offensive coordinator at Duke to join coach Bill Belichick’s staff as an offensive quality control coach for the New England Patriots in 2007, his wife wasn’t exactly thrilled at the move. Nor by the pay cut that came with it. “I was making a decent salary and didn’t quite make that same salary in New England, so she didn’t quite have the divorce papers written up just then. That came later for other reasons,” O’Brien joked. “My suitcase was not on the porch, but I don’t think she was real thrilled about the ol’ salary.” The move ended up working out for O’Brien. He spent four years with Belichick in New England before coaching Penn State for two seasons and returning to the NFL as Houston’s coach in 2014. On Sunday night, O’Brien will face his mentor for the first time when the Texans host the Patriots. “I think Bill is a great coach, one of the best that I’ve had,” Belichick said. “He’s right up there with all those guys. Very unusual to do what he did, to go from a coordinator position to a quality control position on our staff, but I think that shows you his work ethic, the confidence he has in himself.” After that first year O’Brien was promoted to wide receivers coach, and coached quarterbacks in 200910 before becoming New England’s offensive coordinator in 2011. So many people have worked for or played under Belichick that he’s asked almost every week whether a person’s familiarity with his system will be an advantage when it comes time for the game. He scoffed at that notion. “It’s really pretty common,” Belichick said. “It’s probably more common that that is the case than it isn’t. In the end this game is going to come down to the teams on the field, how well they can execute and make plays at critical times in the game.” The Patriots have lost two in a row after opening the season 10-0 and are looking to avoid their first three-game losing streak
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady passes over Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Fletcher Cox. since dropping four straight from Sept. 29-Oct. 27, 2002. Houston will try to bounce back from a 30-21 loss to Buffalo that snapped a fourgame winning streak. Some things to know about the Patriots-Texans game:
Watt’s hand Houston star defensive end J.J. Watt broke his left hand on practice on Wednesday, but said he’ll start on Sunday. Watt, who leads the NFL with 13 ½ sacks, doesn’t expect the injury to slow him down. “There’s really not a whole lot to it, football is a game where things happen,” Watt said. “You play through it, you go out there, you do whatever you can to help your team win. So that’s what I plan to do.”
Drop everything New England quarterback Tom Brady’s season-long numbers are again impressive, with 3,912 yards passing, 31 touchdowns and six interceptions in 12 games. But they could be even better. According to game-charting from Pro Football Focus, Brady has had a league-worst 41 passes dropped by his receivers — 11 more than the QB with the second
most, Oakland’s Derek Carr. In last week’s loss to the Eagles, Brandon LaFell, Danny Amendola and Keshawn Martin had balls go through their hands on New England’s final three plays when it had a chance to tie the game or win. “I certainly have confidence in the guys that I’m throwing the ball to or else I wouldn’t throw it to them,” Brady said. “I think it’s just a matter of us ultimately going and making the plays when we have the opportunity to do it.”
Quarterback carousel Houston’s Brian Hoyer will be the fifth quarterback to start for the Texans against New England on Sunday. The quarterback position in Houston has been a revolving door for the last few years and Hoyer is one of three quarterbacks to start for the Texans this season alone. O’Brien has seen a lot of growth from Hoyer since he coached him in New England in the quarterback’s first three NFL seasons as Brady’s backup. “With experience in different systems and ... Brian having to go through a lot in his career, being injured, being cut, he has a lot of resiliency, mental toughness, very bright guy, so yeah, he has grown a ton since I had him in 2009,” O’Brien said.

How quickly can things change in the NFL? In eight days, the New England Patriots went from thinking about a 16-0 season to the owners of a two-game losing streak. If the season ended now, the Patriots would lose tiebreakers with Cincinnati and Denver and be the No. 3 seed in the AFC and host the New York Jets in the wild-card round. The Patriots have had a firstround bye in every season since 2010. It would be especially useful this year, with tight end Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman nursing week-to-week injuries that could use more time to rest.

Pittsburgh vs. Cincinnati
Bengals can win AFC North, make Steelers playoff long shot CINCINNATI — Sure, the Bengals can wrap up the AFC North title with a win on Sunday, and that’s pleasing enough to the team that’s been atop the division since the opening game. But there’s something else they would savor at the end of the day. They could make the Steelers a long shot for the playoffs, too. And that would be almost as much fun. “I hope we knock ’em out,” Bengals cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick said. “That’s the definition of a rivalry game.” The Bengals (10-2) and Steelers (7-5) renew their rivalry on Sunday with a lot at stake for both of them, and a lot of hard feelings between them. Cincinnati took control of the division by going to Pittsburgh and winning 16-10 on Nov. 1. The Steelers suffered another significant setback in that game when running back Le’Veon Bell hurt his knee while being tackled by Vontaze Burfict. Some of the Steelers took exception to the way the demonstrative Burfict strutted after his hard tackle, not knowing that Bell had suffered a season-ending knee injury. Pittsburgh has gotten back into playoff contention since that Nov. 1 game by getting its offense back to full speed. The Steelers have scored 30 points in four straight games for the first time in club history. They’ve also topped 450 net yards in four straight games, tying the NFL mark. In order to maintain their slim chances of a second straight division title — and to bolster their wild-card chances — the Steelers must prevent a series sweep. “It’s one of the best (teams), if not the best, in the NFL,” said Roethlisberger, who has thrown for more than 300 yards in four straight games. “So we know

A.J.’s day A.J. Green has enjoyed some big games against the Steelers lately, including an 11-catch performance for 118 yards and the winning touchdown in Pittsburgh. Green has averaged 9.8 catches and 129.3 yards receiving in his last four games against the Steelers. The Steelers rank 29th in the league in pass defense, so how they handle Green this time around will provide one of the main themes.
Run the ball The Bengals managed only 78 yards on 23 carries in Pittsburgh. Jeremy Hill had
60 yards on 15 carries, part of his season-long sophomore slump. He’s shown signs of finally emerging, running for 86 and 98 yards — his highest totals of the season — in his last two games. He also seems to have some of his confidence back. “He’s got to keep that going,” quarterback Andy Dalton said. “I don’t know what exactly it was the last two weeks, but we’ve got to keep getting it out of him because he’s a really good player and he’s a big part of this offense.”
Happy returns The Steelers are done experimenting in their return game. Antonio Brown will be back to handle punts, with Markus Wheaton working kickoffs against Cincinnati. Pittsburgh demoted Jacoby Jones after the former Pro Bowler fumbled twice last week in a win over the Colts. Brown took over in the second half for Jones and responded with a 71-yard touchdown. Brown has five career returns (four punts, one kick) for a score, tied with Antwaan Randle-El for the franchise record.
Pittsburgh has won eight straight games in December and is 27-12 in regular-season games played Dec. 1 or later since coach Mike Tomlin took over in 2007. “You’ve got to wire in this time of year,” Roethlisberger said. “You’ve always got to be focused and ready to go, but this time of year you’re trying to make a playoff run, you’re trying to play your best football, and I guess that’s why we try and do our best now.”

AFC SOUTH
GAME OF THE WEEK
Indianapolis vs. Jacksonville
Jaguars get another shot at ending Colts’ AFC South streak JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Jaguars have been the NFL’s ultimate streak busters this season, at least in a supporting role. They helped Tampa Bay end an 11-game skid at home in October. They assisted Tennessee in halting an 11-game slide at home last week. They also were the opponent when San Diego traveled cross-country and snapped a sixgame losing string two weeks ago. The Jaguars (4-8) hope to play a part in ending two more lengthy ones against Indianapolis (6-6) on Sunday. The Colts have won 16 consecutive games against AFC South opponents — the longest current intradivision streak in the NFL — and six in a row against Jacksonville. “Division games are always important,” Colts cornerback Vontae Davis said. “It’s just a different mentality going into this game. We want to keep our streak, and Jacksonville, they want to end it.” The Jaguars had chances to end the streak in October, but Jason Myers missed two field goals. Myers missed wide right from 53 yards out at the end regulation and was wide left on a 48-yarder in overtime. Either of those would have ended the game — and the streak. The Colts won 16-13, thanks to Adam Vinatieri’s 27-yard field goal six plays after Myers’ second miss. “The last one, that thing could have went either way, obviously,” Colts coach Chuck Pagano said. “I think everybody saw the same thing that we saw, so this is two ballclubs that throw out all the records. We’ve got to go on the road. It’s a division game. It’s a rivalry game. Two teams to go on and win another game to stay in the hunt, so I’m not looking back. We’re just trying to look forward. “Every game is different, every year is different. This is a different team that we’re playing than when we played earlier in the season.” On both sides of the ball, really. Jacksonville’s offense has made significant strides, with Blake
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Allen Robinson (15) catches a pass as he is defended by Tennessee Titans cornerback Blidi Wreh-Wilson (25). Bortles and Allen Robinson setting franchise records for touchdown passes and touchdown receptions, respectively, last week. But the defense has struggled mightily in consecutive losses. “It’s a division game and we’ve got a great opportunity at home,” said Jaguars coach Gus Bradley, who is winless in five tries against the Colts. “It comes back to nothing to do with the Colts. It’s about us and what we need to do. That part hasn’t changed.” Here are a few other things to know about the Colts and Jaguars heading into their 30th meeting:
Hasselbeck again Colts quarterback Andrew Luck is expected to miss his sixth start of the season and fourth straight since lacerating a kidney and partially tearing an abdominal muscle. Backup Matt Hasselbeck won his first four starts, including the first meeting with the Jags, but looked his age (40) in a loss at Pittsburgh last week. “I’m just trying to help this team get a win every week and, in a sense, just trying not to screw it up,” Hasselbeck said.
Hurns returns Jaguars receiver Allen Hurns is expected to return to the starting lineup after missing a game for the first time in his NFL career. Hurns sat out last week’s loss at San Diego because of a concussion. He was cleared to practice and play Monday. He needs 242 yards receiving in the final four games to give Jacksonville two 1,000-yard receivers for the first time since 2001.
Sick then, sore now Hasselbeck played sick against Jacksonville in October. He said he got bad chicken from a quick-service restaurant two nights before the game. It hit him in the second quarter and caused a bacterial infection. This time, he’s likely to still be a little sore against the Jaguars. He was sacked twice last week and took two awkward hits that left him with a stiff neck and a mild rib separation.
Myers misses Myers has missed a league-leading six extra points, including two last week that essentially cost the team three points in a 42-39 loss at Tennessee. The rookie is looking to redeem himself this week — for those and for missing two potential winning field goals against the Colts in October. “If it comes down to a field goal, I would love that, to have that chance,” Myers said.

GAME OF THE WEEK
Oakland vs. Denver
Broncos only team not to allow a 300-yard passer DENVER — Tom Brady couldn’t do it. Aaron Rodgers didn’t come close. Neither did Joe Flacco, Phillip Rivers, Jay Cutler, Andrew Luck, Matthew Stafford or Alex Smith (twice). The Denver Broncos are the only team in the NFL that hasn’t allowed a 300-yard passer this season. “Oh yeah, it’s a point of pride. I know those guys say ‘No Fly Zone,’ but it’s the truth,” linebacker Brandon Marshall said of Denver’s star-studded secondary with the cool nickname. “I think with the scheme and the players we have, the rush and the cover, quarterbacks don’t have a lot of time to get the ball off and they can’t find anybody open.” Denver leads the league in total defense, pass defense and sacks and is second in scoring defense to Cincinnati — but only because of Peyton Manning’s trio of pick-sixes early in the season. He’s now sidelined by a foot injury and Brock Osweiler gets his fourth start Sunday when the Broncos (10-2) host the Oakland Raiders (5-7). While the Broncos have three safeties who are injured in T.J. Ward (ankle), David Bruton Jr. (knee) and Omar Bolden (hamstring), they still have ball hawk Darian Stewart and rising star Bradley Roby to go with Pro Bowl cornerbacks Aqib Talib and Chris Harris Jr. In the middle are Marshall and Danny Trevathan, who have combined for 184 tackles. And they’re expecting the return of edge rusher DeMarcus Ware this week, bolstering a pass rush led by Von Miller that’s already second to none. “That pass rush is ridiculous,” said Raiders quarterback Derek Carr, who threw for 223 yards in Oakland’s 16-10 loss to Denver in October. “Obviously, they drafted another first-rounder (in Shane Ray) to add to it. Not just the edge guys, but the interior guys and the linebackers on blitzes. The secondary are all Pro Bowlers back there. They’re all great players.” Some other points of interest Sunday when the Raiders try to

Osweiler’s education Osweiler has been sacked a dozen times in 14 quarters, but many of those have been because he’d rather take the hit than risk an interception. “I believe ball security and quarterbacks protecting the football — that’s our job,” Osweiler said. “... If that means I have to take an extra hit to avoid an interception, sign me up for it.” Osweiler has two interceptions in his three starts. Manning threw 17 in his nine starts. “When I was on the sideline as the backup earlier in the year watching all those games, that’s one thing that I learned: If you don’t put our defense in bad situations, if you don’t put them in short fields, they’re going to make that opposing offense’s job very tough to go 70, 80, 90 yards to score points,” Osweiler said.

Sack attack After struggling to pressure the quarterback early in the season despite the addition of pass-rush specialist Aldon Smith, the Raiders have put opposing passers on the run the past few weeks after Smith was suspended for the season. The Raiders have nearly half (14 of 29) of their sacks over the last four games, including 10 in three games since losing Smith. Khalil Mack needs one sack to become the first Raiders player to reach double digits in a season since Warren Sapp and Derrick Burgess did it in 2006.
Familiar faces Osweiler has faced Bill Belichick and several former Broncos coaches who are familiar with his play: John Fox, Adam Gase, Mike McCoy and now Jack Del Rio. “I don’t really look at it like that,” Osweiler said. “I say, ‘Who’s the defense that I’m playing? Who’s the coordinator? What do they like to do? What coverages do they show? What blitzes do they do?’ I just attack it like that. I don’t get into too many thoughts as far as, ‘Does this guy know me?’ ”

The Broncos averaged 86 yards rushing with Manning and 161 yards with Osweiler, one reason C.J. Anderson dismisses Denver’s 43-yard performance against Oakland in Week 5. “We’ve gotten a lot better from there,” Anderson said. “We were just learning the system and still trying to get in it. I think now we’ve executed the last few weeks better, so we should be fine.”
Raider since Kamerion Wimbley had nine in 2010. ... Broncos are 24-5 in divisional play over last five seasons. ... Gary Kubiak’s 10 wins tied for second most by first-year Broncos coach with Dan Reeves (1981). Red Miller had most: 12 in 1977. ... Denver has five defensive scores this season — four on interceptions and another on fumble return. ... LB Von Miller has sack in four straight games. ... Brock Osweiler trying to climb list of most consecutive wins by QB to start his Denver career. With fourth straight victory Sunday, he would tie for third with Jake Plummer (2003) and Bubby Brister (1998). Team record is six by Kyle Orton (2009) and Craig Morton (1977). ... Fantasy Tip: If C.J. Anderson’s ankle doesn’t get any better, that will increase value of Juwan Thompson. Might be worth picking up second-year RB.

Buffalo vs. Philadelphia
McCoy fired up for homecoming in Philly PHILADELPHIA — LeSean McCoy has been waiting for this game since the schedule was released. The all-time leading rusher for the Philadelphia Eagles returns home to play his former team for the first time with the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Nine months later, he’s still mad coach Chip Kelly traded him. “I’m not talking to Chip,” McCoy said. Kelly said he understands McCoy’s bitterness and still plans to extend his hand if he sees him on the field. “How he was traded wasn’t handled right,” Kelly said. “I did not get an opportunity to talk to him and it’s a lesson in what we should never do, to be honest with you. I felt bad that I didn’t get a chance to talk to him.” McCoy was a three-time Pro Bowl pick and two-time All-Pro in six seasons in Philadelphia. He led the league in rushing in Kelly’s first year in 2013. But he was traded for linebacker Kiko Alonso last March after Kelly took control of personnel decisions. McCoy took a personal shot at Kelly, saying he got rid of star players who are black. Kelly said money was the reason he made the move. McCoy would’ve accounted for $12 million against the salary cap this year. The Eagles used that money to make a big splash in free agency, signing 2014 rushing champion DeMarco Murray, cornerback Byron Maxwell and running back Ryan Mathews. Murray has been a bust and Maxwell hasn’t lived up to expectations. This game is far more than McCoy vs. Kelly, though. It has strong playoff implications for both teams. The Bills (6-6) are one game behind in the AFC wild-card

Tyrod’s precision Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor hasn’t thrown an interception in 187 consecutive attempts, a team record. He has 13 touchdown passes, two rushing TDs and only one interception in the past eight games. “He’s very impressive with his deep ball, he’s not (trying to do) too much and he’s not making any bad decisions,” Eagles defensive coordinator Bill Davis said.
Bradford’s back Sam Bradford returned after missing 2 1⁄2 games and was
efficient in a stunning win at New England. He hasn’t thrown an interception in the past three games he’s played and seems more comfortable in Kelly’s up-tempo offense. “He’s playing better each week,” offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur said.
Running back rotation Mathews is expected to return after missing three games with a concussion. Darren Sproles had 15 carries, Kenjon Barner had nine and Murray only had eight against the Patriots. Murray was only on the field for 14 of 61 offensive snaps, but Kelly insists he wasn’t demoted. “They all merit playing time,” Kelly said.
Rex’s return Bills coach Rex Ryan returns to the city where his dad is revered. Buddy Ryan led the Eagles to three playoff appearances in five seasons as head coach from 1986-90. Fans loved the outspoken Buddy Ryan despite no playoff wins because he turned the team into a winner after several losing seasons, and he hated the rival Cowboys. Rex Ryan began his coaching career in college when Buddy Ryan was in Philadelphia. He got his first NFL coaching job on his father’s staff in Arizona in 1994. “I like the fact we are going to Philly because you can get a good cheesesteak,” Rex Ryan said.

GAME OF THE WEEK
Dallas vs. Green Bay
Cowboys and Packers meet in crunch time, minus some luster GREEN BAY, Wis. — When the NFL released the schedule in the spring, the game between the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers in December had the makings of a star-powered matchup, with strong potential to impact the NFC playoff picture. Still could, though it’s lost a little luster. The Cowboys (4-8) are still chasing a title in the mediocre NFC East even without injured quarterback Tony Romo. The Packers (8-4) needed a desperation touchdown pass to beat Detroit and avoid another week of consternation over an inconsistent offense. Both sides say there is a lot more work to do. “Everybody’s playing for something. It’s the playoff-style atmosphere and energy. So we’ve got to bring it,” Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said. The Hail Mary pass lifted the Packers’ spirits. But Green Bay realizes the improbable victory didn’t solve its issues with the ball. The Packers need more out of the running game. They need to get their offensive line healthy in order to keep Rodgers clean and upright. They need Rodgers and his receivers to play a consistent 60 minutes in the passing game. “We’ve had a lot of injuries at our skill positions that have made it tough to get that consistency every week,” Rodgers said. “We’ve got to build on some of the stuff we did in the second half last week, and be more consistent.” The loss of receiver Jordy Nelson in the preseason to a knee injury has challenged the Packers all year. Romo’s collarbone injury has had an even bigger impact for the Cowboys. It’s just not quite the same with Matt Cassel under center in Dallas. “It’s always an adjustment, especially when you have a guy like Tony, but I think Matt’s handled it well,” tight end Jason Witten said. “Every week he gets more and more comfortable.” More comfy to the point where

Green Bay Packers’ Eddie Lacy runs for a touchdown against the Chicago Bears. the last-place Cowboys won for the first time this season without Romo, beating the Washington Redskins 19-16. Remarkably, Dallas is just one game behind the Redskins, New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles, who are all 5-7. It may not be what the Cowboys “wanted as far as the wins and losses, but this is a league where that happens,” Witten said. “No greater example than Green Bay’s game the other night against Detroit. Just stay with it.” Other notes and things to watch ahead of Sunday’s game:
Completing the catch This will be the first meeting between the teams since the Packers’ 26-21 win in the NFC divisional playoff round in January. Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant’s 31-yard catch to the 1 on fourth down was overturned on review after officials ruled Bryant didn’t maintain control all the way to ground. The play has contributed to confusion among some players and
fans about the rules that constitute what is and isn’t a catch. But it’s not something the Cowboys are talking about going into Sunday. “I don’t know that guys bring a lot of stuff with them from past games,” coach Jason Garrett said.
Looking for Lacy Green Bay’s Eddie Lacy missed curfew the night before the Lions game and was demoted to second string. The bullish running back appears to have made amends with coach Mike McCarthy and his teammates, and received regular work in practice at midweek. He’s had success against the Cowboys, averaging 121 yards rushing and 20 carries in two career games.
Rest up The Packers have a decided advantage in rest, with 10 days between this game and their previous contest against Detroit. Dallas has a short turnaround since beating the Redskins on the road on Monday night.
Green Bay hopes the few extra days of rest following a Thursday night game helps its sore offensive line. All five starters have been dealing with injuries, and only left tackle David Bakhtiari was a full participant in practice at midweek. The front five must deal with a Dallas defense that had three sacks and blitzed more than usual last week.

Atlanta vs. Carolina
Newton, Panthers look to clinch 1st-round bye CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Cam Newton is building a strong case for NFL Most Valuable Player. Behind the play of the multidimensional fifth-year quarterback, the Carolina Panthers (12-0) have already wrapped up the NFC South for a third straight season. They can secure a first-round bye in the NFC playoffs with a win Sunday at home against the Atlanta Falcons. Newton has thrown five touchdown passes in two of his last three games and has earned NFC Offensive Player of the Week three times this season. Despite lacking a true No. 1 wide receiver — Kelvin Benjamin was lost in training camp to a seasonending knee injury — Newton has thrown a career-high 25 touchdown passes. He’s also a major factor in Carolina’s third-ranked ground attack with 478 yards rushing and seven TDs. “What more can you say about him, he’s the Most Valuable Player,” tight end Greg Olsen said. Some of Newton’s passing numbers — he’s 15th in the NFL in passer rating (93.2), 18th in passing yards (2,797) and 29th in completion percentage (58.4) — may cost him an opportunity to beat out New England’s Tom Brady or Arizona’s Carson Palmer or any other candidates. Regardless, Newton has found a way to win, undefeated in his last 15 starts. “It feels like he went through another ceiling to say, ‘Yeah, I’m going to take it up to even a different spot,’ and that’s what I see so far in the film this year,” Falcons coach Dan Quinn said. Newton admitted this week he always gets a little more hyped to go up against his hometown Falcons. But he’ll face an old nemesis in Quinn, a former defensive coordinator with the Seattle Seahawks. Quinn has found ways to slow down Newton in the past and limit his effectiveness with the read option, often frustrating the quarterback. The Falcons aren’t quite the Seahawks on defense, but Newton said he sees some similarities scheme-wise. “I don’t know if there was anything unique that we did,” Quinn said. “Part of my own philosophy,
Carolina Panthers cornerback Josh Norman heads for the end zone after intercepting a pass from Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston. and it was certainly the one that Seattle liked, is: Can we do our fundamentals, our technique, you know, really hard? And we didn’t kind of try to make it about the other club so much.” Some things to watch when the Falcons visit the Panthers:
Norman on Jones One of the most intriguing matchups will be Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones against Panthers cornerback Josh Norman. Norman got the best of Jones last season, which helped put his name on the map. Norman told ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown that “Julio completes me,” a line from the movie Jerry McGuire. Nobody is really quite sure what that means, including Jones, but it should be fun watching two of the game’s best go at it every down. “He comes with great energy, he’s a great player,” Jones said of Norman. “... He doesn’t back down, he comes every play and he has very, very good technique.”
Needing a win The Falcons (6-6) aren’t out of the NFC playoff picture, but they
will need to make some hay here in the next four weeks, a stretch that includes two games against the Panthers. “Our backs are against the wall. We totally recognize that, but honestly for us to do anything about the future, it’s about what we do right now,” Quinn said.
Coleman on fire Kurt Coleman has five interceptions in the last six games, but the Panthers safety said he wasn’t pleased that his team struggled last week in a 41-38 win against the Saints. Drew Brees threw for 282 yards and three scores against what was the league’s No. 3-ranked defense coming into the game. “The effort was there (on defense), but the discipline wasn’t,” Coleman said. “I think we’re excited because we have another chance to go back out there and show the NFL what we’re made of.”
Freeman ready to roll The Falcons are hoping to get Devonta Freeman back to playing at a high level. The running back returned last week from an injury and had 47 yards rushing on 14 carries and 56 yards receiving on 10 receptions in a 23-19 loss to the Buccaneers. Before his injury, Freeman was averaging 114.7 yards per game from scrimmage and had 11 combined touchdowns.
Block that kick The Panthers are a little concerned over their blocking on field goals and extra points. They have had two field goals blocked and last week had an extra point blocked and returned for a 2-point conversion. The problem has been in the blocking up front, not Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones slips between Tampa Bay Buccaneers outside necessarily low kicks by veteran Graham Gano. linebacker Lavonte David (54) and strong safety Chris Conte.

Seattle vs. Baltimore
Seahawks seek to stay on a roll against struggling Ravens BALTIMORE — Though evidently still not ready for prime time, the Seattle Seahawks are definitely looking more like defending NFC champions. The Seahawks (7-5) have won five of six to move into the middle of the playoff hunt, and they intend to keep the momentum going against the injury-depleted Baltimore Ravens (4-8) on Sunday. “We’ve been battling all year long,” Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. “Like the Ravens, we’ve been in a lot of close games that we didn’t turn in our favor that could have made a big difference in our season early. We’ve hung together, and we’re trying to finish this thing off.” The game was originally scheduled for Sunday night. Back in September, it looked to be an attractive matchup between two perennial contenders. But while the Seahawks have recovered from a slow start defined by tantalizingly tight defeats, Baltimore hasn’t broken the habit. Worse, the Ravens have 16 players on injured reserve, including starting quarterback Joe Flacco, top receiver Steve Smith and linebacker Terrell Suggs. Thus, the perceived mismatch was moved to 1 o’clock, which translates to 10 a.m. on the West Coast. Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson doesn’t expect that to be a problem. “Most games — except the ones we have in California or Arizona — we usually leave on Friday,” he said. “So that way we can kind of wake our bodies up and get ready to go.” The Ravens hope to have enough bodies available to pull off an upset. Matt Schaub, who took over for Flacco two weeks ago, was banged up in last Sunday’s 15-13 loss to Miami and is iffy for the Seahawks. “Right now, we’re taking it day by day, hour by hour,” he said midweek. Some things to know about the first meeting between the Seahawks and Ravens since 2011:
Wilson on a roll Over the past two weeks, Wilson is 42 for 57 with eight touchdown passes and no interceptions. He threw for five scores in a win over Pittsburgh, then shredded the Vikings in a 38-7 rout. “They build their offense around his talent,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. “He has a heck of an arm. Obviously, he can read things out. He throws on time.” Wilson’s stellar play has been instrumental in the Seahawks’ resurgence. “I feel like we’re playing great football right now,” he said. “We just want to continue that.”

Dominance at home
Keeping it close
This marks the first of three straight home games for the Ravens, who have won 17 of their last 18 at home against NFC foes. This year, however, is unlike any in recent memory. Although Baltimore appears a lock to endure its first losing season since 2007, Harbaugh hopes the crowd at M&T Bank Stadium will show its support for a team that hasn’t quit playing hard. “I’m really hopeful that the fans — the Ravens fans — take the situation for what it is and recognize the way we’re playing,” he said. “It’s a team that’s fighting like crazy.”
Every one of Baltimore’s games this season has been decided by eight points or fewer, and the Ravens’ eight defeats have come by a total of 34 points. It’s difficult to imagine how much longer Baltimore can compete against some of the better teams with so many starters sidelined with injuries. “Well, we’re pretty numb to it now,” said receiver Kamar Aiken, the team’s primary outside threat since Smith tore his Achilles tendon in Week 7. “We’re just rolling, to be honest. We really haven’t had any time to sit back and really think about all the injuries or sit here and sulk on them.”
Rawls Royce
Flashback
Lost in the performance by Wilson last week was yet another 100-yard rushing day from rookie Thomas Rawls, who finished with 101 yards on 19 carries. It was his fourth 100-yard game of the season and provided Seattle with its 23rd straight game with at least 100 yards rushing — tied with Carolina for the longest active streak in the NFL. Rawls is 10th in the league with 786 yards rushing and is on pace to be the first Seattle running back other than Marshawn Lynch to rush for 1,000 yards since Shaun Alexander in 2005, when Alexander was league MVP.
The last time Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman played against Schaub, he was a difference maker. Late in the fourth quarter in Houston two years ago, Sherman jumped a third-and-4 pass intended for Owen Daniels and returned it 58 yards for a touchdown to tie the game at 20. Seattle had seen Schaub run that play repeatedly in that situation and knew the pass was coming. Seattle went on to win in overtime. “Yes, I do have fond memories of that game and it being a comeback,” Sherman said.

FANTASY FOCUS Sizing up the favorable playoff matchups It has become one of the most annoying clichés in professional sports: “We are taking it one game at a time.” It’s not just overused by players and coaches, it’s usually a blatant lie. Teams do look ahead to coming weeks, marking crucial divisional games on their calendars that they know could determine playoff position. Or knowing that they absolutely have to prepare for an upcoming game with a laser-like focus because they might have a series of brutal road contests in the weeks ahead. Fantasy football playoffs are much the same: Managers absolutely need to look ahead to properly prepare in hopes of winning a title. Call it a case of taking three games at a time, the length of most fantasy playoffs. Savvy managers are making waiver wire pickups with an eye not only on this week, but also on championship week, when their top quarterback might be facing a cold weather nightmare on the road while another, less-heralded signal caller on the waiver wire might be at home against a soft defense. An available defense might have a juicy matchup next week against a lousy quarterback. There are many examples. So as the playoffs begin this week, here are some look-ahead moves fantasy players might want to make to get ahead of the curve:
Week 14 New Orleans at Tampa Bay: If you were smart, you snatched up Jameis Winston a week ago knowing he has the deplorable Saints defense on tap. If you need a quarterback and he’s still available, grab him. And don’t hesitate to start any other Tampa player. It’s also
worth noting that Saints players are taking on increased value, as the only way they can realistically win games is to simply outscore the opponent and hope they have the ball last. But Mark Ingram isn’t one of those Saints options anymore. He’s out for the season with a shoulder injury, opening the door for Tim Hightower (and possibly C.J. Spiller) to pick up carries. He is still widely available. Indianapolis at Jacksonville: The Jaguars amassed some nice offensive production the last time these two teams played, despite the 16-13 result. The Jags have become even more high-powered in the time since, so this looks to be a favorable matchup. Julius Thomas is on a nice run, Allen Robinson has been unstoppable, and Allen Hurns is back from a concussion. Blake Bortles is a good start at QB, too. Buffalo at Philadelphia: The LeSean McCoy revenge game. Will he have a big day against his old team or will Chip Kelly find a way to shut him down? It’s a moot argument for fantasy purposes because McCoy is an obvious start. But Tyrod Taylor is an alluring quarterback option this week. The Eagles defense still has holes. Remember, Philly’s win over New England was more the result of some explosive special teams plays that caused the game to snowball, as opposed to it being a dominating performance by the Eagles’ defense against an under-manned Patriots offense.
Week 15 Atlanta at Jacksonville: The Falcons have been really bad after their 5-0 start. Their only win since then was a 10-7 win against the Titans with Zach Mettenberger at quarterback. They could easily be

on a seven-game losing streak right now, and that has not been fun for Julio Jones and Matt Ryan owners. But this could be a nice matchup to bring Ryan off the bench and win a semifinal. Cleveland at Seattle: If you own the Seattle defense, you are loving life. They play the Ravens this week with either Matt Schaub or Jimmy Clausen at quarterback, followed by a home contest against the Browns. After that, the Rams come to town. They will likely be double-digit favorites in every game. With their offense clicking, grab any available Seattle players and try to ride this wave to the finals. Houston at Indianapolis: This feels like it could be the Andrew Luck return, with what could easily amount to the AFC South championship game. Keep that in mind if you’re long on Colts players.
Week 16 Jacksonville at New Orleans: Yet another favorable Jacksonville playoff matchup. The pot odds are seemingly in your favor if you are heavy on Jacksonville players heading into the playoffs. Washington at Philadelphia: No attempt here at trying to handicap the state of the NFC East at this point, but this could be for all the marbles in the division. Sometimes simply having a meaningful game with stakes is a nice thing in late December, as you know you’ll seemingly get effort out of your players. Cleveland at Kansas City: More proof about why many think the Chiefs run will continue — a week 16 matchup against a Cleveland team with nothing to play for but pride and avoiding the No. 1 overall pick.

OG&E asks to have environmental decision revisited by commission BY PAUL MONIES
Business Writer pmonies@oklahoman.com
Oklahoma Gas and Electric Co. asked the Corporation Commission on Friday to reconsider parts of its rejection of the utility’s $1.1 billion preapproval case for an environmental compliance and replacement generation plan.
The utility wants the three-member panel to modify its order to approve the environmental compliance part of the plan. Any cost increases for customers should be determined in a future rate case, OG&E said. OG&E also agreed not to implement a separate billing item, called a rider, to recover the costs unless
the commission authorizes it. “An approval of the ECP (environmental compliance plan) will not raise rates at this time,” the utility said in its motion for modification. Under commission rules, parties in a case can request modification of an order within 10 days. The commission ruled 2-1 last
week to reject preapproval of OG&E’s plan.
Rate case delayed OG&E had planned to file a rate case last week, although that’s been delayed. “Obviously, we got a little sidetracked,” OG&E spokesman Randy Swanson said Friday. “It will be forthcoming in the next
few days.” The utility faces compliance deadlines in 2016 and 2019 for federal Regional Haze rules and Mercury and Air Toxics Standards. OG&E’s $700 million “scrub/convert” environmental compliance plan would put costly scrubbers on coal units at its Sooner plant near Red Rock. It would convert two other
coal units at its Muskogee plant to use natural gas. OG&E also is installing other environmental controls on its coal units and some natural gas units. Separately, OG&E asked the commission to grant preapproval to spend about $400 million to replace its aging Mustang natural gas SEE CASE, PAGE 6C
Tree-mendous undertaking
Using produced water poses challenges BY ADAM WILMOTH
Energy Editor awilmoth@oklahoman.com
Cleaning and using saltwater produced along with oil could help alleviate the drought and reduce earthquakes, but technical and regulatory changes are needed to make the process feasible, researchers said Friday. “There are big opportunities here, but with that comes fairly significant risks as well,” Holly Pearen, senior attorney for the Environmental Defense Fund, said Friday during an American Geosciences Institute webinar on making produced water more productive. “Reusing oil and gas wastewater makes a lot of sense. But recycling is not easy. In some areas it doesn’t make economic sense. And it’s not risk free.” Oklahoma hydrologist Kyle Murray said the biggest challenges are cleaning the water and transporting it to areas where it can be used. “If we want to use water outside the oil and gas industry, desalination is required. That salty water needs to be desalinated and used elsewhere,” Murray said during the webinar. “In terms of how we manage saltwater disposal, how far we move the water before it is disposed is important. The cost is tied up to transport the water.” Gov. Mary Fallin last week created a fact-finding work group to help find ways to use produced water instead of pumping it underground through disposal wells that researchers and regulators say are causing the state’s ongoing earthquake swarm. Modern oil and natural gas wells produce water from two very different sources. Companies use fresh or cleaned water as part of the hydraulic fracturing process. Companies often recycle that water to reuse in future fracking operations. Far more ancient water SEE WATER, PAGE 6C

HOLIDAY LIGHT INSTALLERS DASH TO MAKE REPAIRS FOLLOWING LAST MONTH’S DESTRUCTIVE ICE STORM BY RICHARD MIZE

Holiday cheer plugged back in this week after 12 days of Christmas darkness had commercial light installers dashing through the woe left by the Thanks-
giving weekend ice storm. Perhaps the biggest display to turn back on after the setback Nov. 27-29 was Yukon’s Christmas in the Park display, which opened Nov. 21 and annually attracts thousands during its nightly holiday run through Christmas

Eve. Installer Timothy Lloyd said the LED lights he used for the Yukon show are “pretty durable,” but damage to the trees in the city parks was so severe it took until Wednesday to get them cleaned up for re-lighting.
He said his company, Echelawn Complete Lawn & Landscape, considered any storm-related replacement or repairs in Yukon, or elsewhere, as warranty work. Some 1,800 people visited City Park alone on reopening night Wednes-
day, said Yukon city spokesman Jenna Roberson. Christmas in the Park, which is in its 20th year, features more than 5 million individual lights in 400-plus displays across SEE LIGHTS, PAGE 2C

MARTIN PARK FIRE TALK SET The public is invited to attend two meetings to learn about a prescribed burn planned for part of Martin Park Nature Center in early 2016. The meetings will be at 4 p.m. Sunday and 1 p.m. Monday at Northwest Library, 5600 NW 122. Specialists with Oklahoma Forestry Services and Oklahoma City Parks & Recreation Department will discuss the prescribed burn, the methods that will be used to burn the designated area of the park and how the nature park will benefit from the fire. The burn will reduce the risk of a catastrophic wildfire at the park by removing the build-up of dead grass. It also will improve wildlife habitat and enhance the overall plant health of the area.

Don’t be stumped by those lingering limbs of confusion Now is as good a time as any to bring this up again, since I know that so many folks around here are confused about where they actually live. It’s suddenly important — for knowing when to expect that pile of tree limbs at the curb, from the ice storm, to be picked up by the city. It depends on what city you live in, because each city has set its own dates and deadlines and maximum limb lengths, and your house may not be in the city you think it is. I always set the record straight when some business or developer claims to be in Edmond when it’s not. A business or home can be in the Oklahoma City limits, have an Edmond postal address, get police protection from Oklahoma City, have Oklahoma City utilities, but be in the

REAL ESTATE EDITOR Edmond Public School District. So, there you are. But where are you? Almost everyone says “Edmond,” mostly because people are so oriented toward schools; partly because the U.S. Postal Service seems to say you live in Edmond. But it’s not Edmond. School district lines are one thing, city limits are another, and the post office is only saying what your postal address is, not what city you’re in. West of Broadway Extension, much in Oklahoma City north of NW 150 has an Edmond postal address, so businesses
and neighborhoods along Pennsylvania and May avenues can say they’re “in Edmond,” and many, if not most, do. East of Pennsylvania, Edmond addresses extend as far south as Memorial Road. But the school district lines are the main deciding factor. “Edmond schools” is a selling point. But school district lines, city limits and postal addresses crisscross in perplexing ways across the metro area.

400 acres of City Park, 2200 S Holly; Chisholm Trail Park, 500 W Vandament; and Freedom Trail Playground, 2101 S Holly. This was Echelawn’s first year to install the Yukon attraction. The city decided to switch to newer, more energy- and cost-efficient LED lights, Echelawn’s specialty. Echelawn has installed holiday lighting for seven years. Lloyd added the late fall and winter service to fill in lean months between mowing season and planting season. It’s a natural extension of a lawn and landscaping business, he said, especially in times of emergency repair as in the past couple of weeks. Having installers — and repair crews — who also are tree experts was important, he said. “A lot of those trees we wrapped were demolished by the ice storm,” Lloyd said, and it helps to have people working on the lights who know how to treat the trees with care. Total Environment Inc. is another landscape management company that’s had its hands full reinstalling and repairing Christmas cheer, said Linda Horn, director of marketing and community relations.

Oklahoma City residents can get rid of ice storm debris in Oklahoma City at four area dumps from 7 a.m. to noon Saturday. Each residential household may drop off one load using one passenger vehicle or truck of up to 1-ton and one trailer up to 16 feet long. Bring a copy of a current utility bill and a driver’s license or other form of identification to obtain free access. Participating landfills are East Oak Landfill, 3201 Mosley Road (south side of NE 36 east of Sooner Road); Oklahoma City Landfill, 7001 S Bryant Ave.; Oklahoma Landfill, 7600 SW 15; and Northeast Landfill, 2601 N Midwest Blvd. in Spencer.
ICE STORM COLLECTIONS TO START Free ice storm debris collections in Oklahoma City neighborhoods starts Monday. Tree limbs downed by the storm can be placed at the curb cut into segments no longer than 12 feet — smaller is better. Stack debris away from poles, mailboxes, vehicles, trees, power lines, water meters and gas meters. Crews will make a pass through the city, which will take about 30 days, then after a 10-day break, crews will make a second pass.
SCAMS ALERT REITERATED Attorney General Scott Pruitt continues to urge people to be wary of criminals targeting owners of homes and businesses damaged by the ice storm. Pruitt said people should be cautious of contractors who solicit for work door to door, offering toogood-to-be-true discounts. Pruitt said people also need to know Gov. Fallin’s emergency declaration keeps contractors’ prices from escalating during this time of need. Fraud should be reported to the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Unit at 521-2029 or (918) 581-2885.

DuPont, Dow Chemical look at merger BY RANDALL CHASE
WHAT IS PLANNED
AP Business Writer
DOVER,
Del.
—
Dow Chemical and DuPont are merging to form a company valued at about $130 billion as they try to counter falling commodities prices and weakness in some key markets that have pressured their giant agriculture and chemicals businesses. The two companies, whose research has brought the world products ranging from Ziploc bags and Saran wrap developed by Dow to DuPont’s Teflon coatings and Nylon and Kevlar fibers, will first form DowDuPont, then separate into three independent publicly traded companies focused on agriculture, material science and specialty products. The proposed merger, announced Friday, would temporarily create the world’s second-largest chemical company, behind BASF. It comes as both Dow and DuPont Co. have seen recent declines in agricultural performance and been pressured by activist shareholders to control spending and shift away

from commodities to faster-growing parts of their businesses. “Overall, this transaction represents a tectonic shift in an industry that has been evolving over the last many years,” said Dow Chairman and CEO Andrew Liveris, calling the merger a seminal event for employees and customers of the two companies, which have a combined workforce of more than 110,000. DuPont Chairman and CEO Edward Breen said
the “industrial logic” behind the deal was compelling. “When I look at DuPont and Dow, I see businesses that fit together like hand and glove,” Breen said. DuPont shares slid 5.5 percent to $70.44. Dow Chemical closed down 2.8 percent at $53.37. The deal, which the companies expect to close in the second half of 2016, is sure to be scrutinized by antitrust regulators. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck
Grassley, R-Iowa, said in a statement that the proposed merger “demands serious scrutiny.” “I’ll be listening to Iowa farmers and consumers about any concerns they may have with this proposal, and the Judiciary Committee will be exercising its appropriate oversight function,” Grassley said. But Breen said that while consolidation in the agricultural industry is a “natural step,” any ag-related divestitures are likely
Under the terms of the merger, Dow shareholders will receive a fixed exchange ratio of one share of DowDuPont for each Dow share, and DuPont shareholders will receive a fixed exchange ratio of 1.282 shares in DowDuPont for each DuPont share. Dow and DuPont shareholders will own about 50 percent, respectively, of the combined company. The proposed agriculture business would unite DuPont’s and Dow’s seed and crop protection businesses, which had combined pro forma 2014 revenue of about $19 billion. The material science company would combine DuPont’s performance materials segment with Dow’s performance plastics, performance materials and chemicals, infrastructure solutions, and consumer solutions units, excluding its electronic materials business. Combined pro forma 2014 revenue for material science was about $51 billion. The specialty products company would combine DuPont’s nutrition and health, industrial biosciences, safety and protection, and electronics and communications segments with Dow’s electronic materials business. Combined pro forma 2014 revenue for specialty products was approximately $13 billion. The new company’s board will have 16 directors, consisting of eight current DuPont directors and eight current Dow directors, and two independent co-lead directors.
to be minimal. “These are highly complementary businesses. ... We don’t see much real significant overlap here, which is pretty incredible,” he said. Breen added that the combined ag business would be balanced
between seeds and crop protection. One motive for the merger is to cut costs. The companies said the deal should cut annual expenses by $3 billion. In addition, the companies announced separate restructuring steps.
A rout in crude oil prices hammers the stock market BY BERNARD CONDON AP Business Writer
NEW YORK — A slump in oil prices sparked a global sell-off in financial markets on Friday with losses spreading from Asia to Europe to the U.S., where stocks fell sharply to cap their worst week since the summer. The selling was broad, with all 10 sectors of the Standard and Poor’s 500 index ending down. Fearful investors put their money in government bonds, especially U.S. Treasurys. Another measure of anxiety, the so-called Vix index, jumped. It is now up 70 percent in just five days. Investors worry the sharp fall in the price of oil and other commodities is a sign of weakness in the global economy, especially China, and that will cut into profits at big energy producers and suppliers of raw materials as well as other companies. “We’re stockpiling commodities and demand is not picking up,” said Tim Courtney, chief investment officer of Exencial Wealth Advisors. “It’s kind of a depressing market.” Energy shares, already decimated this year, fell 3.4 percent on Friday. Southwestern Energy plunged 14 percent. Freeport McMoRan, a mining giant, dropped 6 percent. The trouble began with a report from the International Energy Agency that said the oversupply in oil would persist until late next year even as demand continues to weaken. Benchmark U.S. crude plunged $1.14, or 3 percent, to close at $35.62 a barrel in New York. It has been falling for 1½ years and is now at its lowest level since early 2009. By the end of the day, the S&P 500 index had lost 39.86 points, or 1.9 percent, to 2,012.37. It was down 3.8 percent for the week, its worst showing since August. The Dow Jones industrial average lost 309.54 points, or 1.8 percent, to 17,265.21. The Nasdaq composite declined 111.71 points, or 2.2 percent, to 4,933.47. In Europe, Germany’s

OIL PRICE DROPS FURTHER ON FORECAST OF WEAKER DEMAND PARIS — The price of oil is falling further after the International Energy Agency forecast a decline in demand. The U.S. benchmark rate was down 21 cents on Friday at $36.55 a barrel, its lowest since early 2009, when the global economy was sinking into recession. The IEA said in a monthly report that growth in demand for oil will ease next year to 1.2 million barrels per day, from 1.8 million barrels a day this year. Production is increasing, further weighing on prices, largely due to OPEC countries. Several of the oil cartel’s members, notably Iran and Iraq, are looking to boost output as they emerge from sanctions and conflicts. The IEA expects oversupply to continue at least until late next year, suggesting prices will struggle to recover. ASSOCIATED PRESS
DAX lost 2.4 percent, Britain’s FTSE 100 dropped 2.2 percent and France’s CAC 40 shed 1.8 percent. Investors also were rattled by trouble in a risky corner of the credit markets where bonds from heavily indebted companies are traded. Their prices have fallen sharply as investors fear the companies that issued the bonds might default. A fund that tracks the bonds, the iShares iBoxx USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, has dropped nearly 4 percent in five days. Investors also are focused on a Federal
Reserve meeting next week where the central bank is widely expected to announce an increase in its benchmark interest rate from a record low. Recent economic reports indicate that the U.S. economy is healthy enough to withstand a rate hike, but investors remain nervous because it would be the first rate rise in nearly a decade. “It’s anticipation of the Fed, it’s oil, it’s credit ... all of these factors are putting fear and confusion into the investor,” said Jonathan D. Corpina, senior managing partner at Meridian Equity
Partners. In a sign of trouble among commodity producers, Dow Chemical and DuPont on Friday announced a $130 billion deal to merge their businesses to counter falling prices. Their stocks had risen in previous days on reports the deal was forthcoming, but fell sharply on Friday. Dow Chemical dropped $1.54, or nearly 3 percent, to $53.37. DuPont lost $4.11, or 5.5 percent, to $70.44. In Asia, Japan’s Nikkei 225 index climbed 1 percent, but most other major indexes fell. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng dropped 1.1 percent and mainland China’s Shanghai Composite lost 0.6 percent. Among stocks making big moves: •Software maker Adobe Systems rose $2.46, or 2.8 percent, to $91.42 after reporting earnings in its latest quarter that exceeded analysts’ expectations. The stock is up 26 percent since the start of the year. •Corning rose 99 cents, or 5.6 percent, to $18.68 after the company said it will give up its stake in Dow Corning, a joint venture with Dow Chemical. Instead it will invest in a semiconductor business that is owned by Dow Corning.
WASHINGTON — Holiday shoppers are off to a solid but unspectacular start as retail sales registered a modest gain in November. The Commerce Department said Friday that retail sales rose a seasonally adjusted 0.2 percent to $448 billion last month. This marks an improvement after months of lackluster spending as cheaper gasoline depressed overall sales volumes. Retail spending improved a mere 0.1 percent in October after a 0.1 percent drop in September. But in November, shoppers upped their spending at clothiers, sporting goods stores and electronics outlets. Spending at online retailers such as Amazon advanced a healthy 0.6 percent. General merchandise stores also improved, but in a bleak sign for chains such as Macy’s, sales at department stores were flat. “Despite a weak-ish headline, retail spending in November suggests a firm pace of consumption,” said Bricklin Dwyer, a senior economist at the bank BNP Paribas. The report should provide some relief after evidence of tepid shopping during Black Friday — the day after Thanksgiving when consumers often splurge — and provide a better sense about their confidence in the broader economy. Initial figures indicated that many consumers stayed at home, potentially choosing to browse for holiday gifts online instead of wading
through crowds at stores. The National Retail Federation estimated that spending averaged $299.60 per person over Thanksgiving weekend. That was down from $381 last year. But the trade association says the figures are not comparable due to methodology changes. But the retail sales report confirms that consumers are shifting away from malls and shopping plazas. Online sales advanced 7.3 percent from a year ago. People also are more eager to eat out, with expenditures at restaurants increasing 0.7 percent in November and 6.5 percent over the past 12 months. Americans have stepped up their purchases of cars this year, although sales at auto dealers slipped 0.6 percent last month. Excluding gas stations, retail sales have advanced 3.6 percent this year. That compares to 1.4 percent when including gas stations in retail sales. The average household has an additional $660 to spend this year because of cheaper gas, according to the government. Total consumer spending — which includes services — rose just 0.1 percent in October, according to the government. But the savings rate was 5.6 percent of after-tax income, the highest monthly savings level in nearly three years. Consumer spending drives 70 percent of the economy. Yet retail sales account for only about one-third of spending, with services such as haircuts and Internet access making up the other twothirds.

Journal Record paper to change ownership
OKLAHOMA BRIEFS TRIBE BUYS CORVID TECHNOLOGIES
BY BRIANNA BAILEY Business Writer bbailey@oklahoman.com
Ownership of Oklahoma City’s The Journal Record newspaper will change hands as part of the sale of 39 publications owned by Dolan LLC. New York-based New Media Investment Group Inc. said Friday that it has inked a deal to buy Dolan print and online publications. The terms of the sale were not disclosed. New Media’s other holdings include mostly small to midsize newspapers. The Journal Record Publisher Joni Brooks said in an email that she was optimistic about the sale. “The sale to New Media is exciting for us; we will be part of a large, growing company that recognizes the strength of our audience and wants to expand our portfolio of offerings to our customers and grow our business,” Brooks said. “For now, it’s business as usual, but we’re looking forward to bringing even more to our readers and customers.”
The Journal Record first began publication in 1937 after the merger of two other newspapers. One of the predecessors to The Journal Record began publication in Oklahoma City in 1903. New Media announced the sale Friday, and said it had sold the Las Vegas Review-Journal for $140 million. The sale of the Las Vegas paper is the second time the newspaper has been sold in a year after New Media purchased it for $102.5 million in March. The Journal Record record has been owned by Minneapolis-based Dolan since 1995. Dolan, previously called Dolan Media Co., filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2014 and emerged as a private company owned by the investment firm Bayside Capital Inc. The Journal Record Publishing Co. also publishes Tinker Take Off, with news from Tinker Air Force Base, and The Journal Record Legislative Report.

A survey of U.S. homebuilders should provide insight into how sales trends are shaping up heading into next year. The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index has been consistently above 60 since June. Readings above 50 indicate more builders view sales conditions as good rather than poor. The November reading slipped even as builders’ overall outlook remained favorable. The December figure is due out on Tuesday.

The week concludes with Wall Street’s version of the “witching hour.” Friday is quadruple witching day, which marks the simultaneous expiration of four kinds of options and futures contracts. The oddly named phenomenon happens four times a year, and forces traders to tie up loose ends in contracts they hold. The “witching hour” is what traders sometimes call the final stretch of such a day, before the closing bell.

controversies. On Thursday, Yum revealed more details, saying it planned to return up to $6.2 billion to shareholders by the end of 2016 as it spins off its China unit. Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services said the move was a major change to the company’s financial policy, and late Thursday cut its credit rating on Yum Brands to “junk.” The lower rating could make it more costly for Yum to borrow money.

Many of the foreclosure cases involving those housing bubble-era loans have been in limbo for years and only now are banks closing them out. “We’re still dealing with the long tail of the foreclosure crisis many years later,” said Daren Blomquist, vice president of RealtyTrac. At the same time, the number of homes entering the foreclosure process fell last month to the lowest level in 10 years. That suggests the surge in completed foreclosures is more of a blip than a trend. Bank-owned homes tend to pull down prices of nearby homes when they hit the market. But this latest crop of foreclosed homes isn’t likely to have a meaningful impact on homebuilders, said Steve Blitz, chief economist at ITG Investment Research. “Most builders are chasing the higher end of the market,” Blitz said.

Surge in foreclosures Call it a flashback to the bad old days of the U.S. foreclosure crisis. Even as the U.S. housing recovery has continued to strengthen this year, more homes have already been lost to foreclosure than in all of 2014. Through the first 11 months of this year, 410,219 homes have completed the foreclosure process and ended up being repossessed by a lender, according to RealtyTrac Inc. That’s a 25 percent increase from the roughly 327,000 completed foreclosures in all of 2014, the firm said. Completed foreclosures peaked at 1.1 million in 2010 and had been declining annually until this year. The surge is largely due to homes with mortgages that date back to the housing boom years before 2008, when lending standards were less stringent.

The Federal Reserve is scheduled to deliver a statement on interest rate policy Wednesday. The remarks will follow a two-day meeting of the central bank’s policymakers. The Fed is expected to announce that it is raising its benchmark interest rate for the first time in nearly a decade. That would signal the central bank is confident the economy is strong enough to withstand higher borrowing costs.

Federal environmental officials this week finalized a plan for Texas coal plants that could help clear the air at federal wilderness areas in Oklahoma and Arkansas. The Environmental Protection Agency released its final Regional Haze plan on Wednesday for eight coal plants in Texas. EPA partially rejected a Texas plan for regional haze proposed in 2009. Costs for upgrading the Texas coal plants would not fall on Oklahoma utilities or their customers. Oklahoma’s two largest electric utilities, Oklahoma Gas and Electric Co. and Public Service Co. of Oklahoma, have proposed their own compliance plans for regional haze and other EPA regulations. Those plans could increase customer bills almost 15 percent. EPA air modeling shows emissions from several Texas coal plants blowing into Oklahoma and Arkansas, affecting visibility at the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge and the Caney Creek Wilderness in western Arkansas. The emissions also affect views at two national parks in Texas. Under EPA’s plan for Texas, 14 generating units at seven coal plants in the state will be required to install pollution controls to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions. A coal unit at an eighth plant will be required to curtail its generation. Oklahoma Sierra Club members applauded EPA’s
finalization of the plan for Texas. The club said the amount of haze-forming sulfur dioxide emissions reduced by the EPA’s regional haze plan for Texas is more than the sulfur dioxide emissions from all the generating plants in Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana. “There’s a tradition of rivalry and competition between Oklahoma and Texas, and Oklahomans would never accept Texas messing with us,” Johnson Bridgwater, director of the Oklahoma Sierra Club, said in a statement. The EPA’s regional haze rules require states to come up with plans to control emissions affecting visibility, with a goal of restoring views at federal parks to their natural state by 2064. EPA can impose a federal plan if it doesn’t think a state plan is adequate. Texas’ own plan for regional haze didn’t require utilities to make any upgrades and expected compliance by 2155. At a January hearing on EPA’s Texas regional haze plan in Oklahoma City, representatives of Texas utilities said air monitoring at the Wichita Mountains steadily improved over the past decade. That was challenged by several local residents. EPA’s plan for Texas includes some minor changes to Oklahoma’s 2018 “reasonable progress goals” for regional haze compliance. EPA previously said Oklahoma didn’t adequately consult with other states, including Texas, to reduce haze. at the Wichita Mountains.

is produced along with the oil. Sometimes called fossil water, that water is many times saltier than the ocean and often includes toxic and otherwise harmful substances. An Environmental Defense Fund analysis found 134 chemicals and elements present in oil and natural gas wastewater, most of which have not been studied as to how they could affect the eco-
system, Pearen said. “We really only understand the effects of 20 percent of what’s in the wastewater,” she said. “There’s a real gap here in the research and understanding. There’s additional need for research on the toxicity, not just for human toxicity, but also for plants, the ecosystem and the affects on bugs and fish.” Some research by the Los Alamos National Laboratory and its partner
facilities is taking place. Researchers have used cleaned produced water to irrigate cotton, to grow algae for biofuel production and for other purposes. “We are very short on water in the west. New Mexico is completely allocated in terms of fresh water,” Jeri Sullivan Graham, hydrogeologist and geochemist at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. “We need to look at alternative sources
of water.” Sullivan Graham’s focus is on adapting water from both oil production and from saltwater aquifers. “Both of those options are like a square peg in a round hole,” she said. “They don’t fit our concept of using and delivering freshwater. These more complex waters and more saline waters are more difficult and are going to take more effort in developing infrastructure, safe use and regulation.”
Case: OG&E installs new equipment FROM PAGE 1C
plant. The commission also denied that part of the utility’s application. In its motion for modification, OG&E said it already installed some of the equipment needed for environmental compliance. The utility installed five new burners to control nitrogen oxide emissions under part of the regional haze rule. It also is close to completing the installation of activated-carbon injection systems on all five of its coal units to meet the mercury standards. OG&E said it signed a contract in September 2014 for the scrubber equipment and another contract in February for installation of the scrubbers. The scrubbers will reduce emissions of sulfur dioxide. “As stated during the proceedings, OG&E estimates the costs of the scrubbers at approximately $500 million and continues to incur significant expenditures on a daily basis,” the utility said in the motion. “Absent approval of the ECP, OG&E and its inves-
We’re confident that the commissioners, elected by the people of Oklahoma to watch their interests, will maintain their original ruling.” LAURIE WILLIAMS SIERRA CLUB’S BEYOND COAL
tors must continue to bear the risk that the commission ultimately may conclude at a later date that OG&E’s decision to implement the ECP was not a reasonable decision and that OG&E cannot recover any portion of the costs of ECP and, in particular, the estimated $500 million to be incurred for the scrubbers at Sooner Units 1 and 2.” OG&E conceded it may have “contributed to confusion” during the long-running case in its requests for cost recovery of the environmental plan. “What we needed in the core decision was an approval of the compliance plan,” Swanson said. “But we had Mustang in there and other cost recovery around the environmental plan, and we may have muddied the waters.
So we are now waiving cost recovery to a future action and simplifying the request to focus on the plan that takes us to compliance with federal mandates.”
Agency comments Last week, ratings agency Fitch issued an update saying the commission’s denial of preapproval raises credit concerns for OG&E and its parent company, OGE Energy Corp. “However, in Fitch’s view, the order does not warrant a negative rating action at this time as OG&E and its parent OGE Energy Corp. have reasonable headroom in their credit metrics and the completion of a large capex (capital expenditure) spending program in 2013 alleviates immediate neg-
ative pressure,” Fitch said. Fitch currently rates OG&E as A and OGE as A-, ratings in the middle part of the highest investment grades. However, the ratings agency also said the commission’s order and the 16 months it took to deliver “set a negative tone in a jurisdiction Fitch has long considered as supportive” for utilities. Laurie Williams, associate attorney for the Sierra Club’s Beyond Coal campaign, said the Corporation Commissioners acted in the best interest of Oklahoma when it rejected OG&E’s environmental plan, which she called expensive and unnecessary. “Everyone from AARP and the Sierra Club, to consumer and faith groups stood with Oklahomans and opposed the plan,” Williams said in a statement. “We’re confident that the commissioners, elected by the people of Oklahoma to watch their interests, will maintain their original ruling.” The Corporation Commission has set a hearing on OG&E’s motion for Thursday.

Baptist crews aid residents after ice storms BY CARLA HINTON
Religion Editor chinton@oklahoman.com
The leader of the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma’s disaster relief organization said his teams have been inundated with requests for aid in the aftermath of recent ice storms. Because so many people need help, Sam Porter, the convention’s disaster relief director, said he is asking community members to join Baptist crews in an effort to complete debris cleanup by Christmas week. “I guess I can say business is booming,” Porter said. “We need hundreds of volunteers just to help drag the branches out of the yards and onto the curb.” In the aftermath of ice storms that occurred around Thanksgiving in parts of Oklahoma, about 70 trained Oklahoma Baptist disaster relief volunteers began helping affected Oklahomans, Porter said. Chainsaw teams and others are working long hours to help neighbors in need, he said. “The work our volunteers do at no charge saves each homeowner several thousand dollars for tree limb removal,” he said. Now, about 172 volunteers, including Baptists from Texas,
HOW TO HELP Volunteers: People interested in helping Baptist disaster relief crews with tree removal are asked to go between 7:30 and 8 a.m. each day through Friday to the disaster relief mobile command unit at First Baptist Church of Yukon, 15 S Sixth, Yukon. Send an email to oksbdr@gmail.com to let crew leaders know you are coming. Donate/information: To make a tax-deductible donation to Oklahoma Baptist disaster relief, or for more information, go to www. okdisasterhelp.org.

Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi and New Mexico, are providing aid. Porter said Oklahoma Baptists have received about 1,300 requests for help with removing tree limbs and branches and preparing them so tree removal crews may discard them.
Baptist crews have completed work at an estimated 413 family homes, he said, “but we have a little over 700 more to go, and the weather is supposed to change on Sunday.” Porter said about 80 percent of the requests are from older adults, so he sees the matter as urgent.
Faith in action Porter is encouraging individuals, youth groups, athletic teams, Scout groups and civic groups to join Baptist crews to help each homeowner who has requested aid. Volunteers are asked to come to the disaster relief mobile command unit set up at First Baptist Church of Yukon. Porter said SEE ICE, PAGE 3D

Life.Church’s YouVersion Bible app celebrates another milestone BY CARLA HINTON
Religion Editor chinton@oklahoman.com
EDMOND — Life.Church’s popular
YouVersion Bible App just marked another major milestone that has the megachurch’s leaders celebrating and vowing to reach even more people with the Gospel. Bobby Gruenewald, innovation pastor at Life.Church and creator of the YouVersion Bible App, said the app topped 200 million installs a few days before Thanksgiving. “What’s kind of key or kind of great from our perspective is it was just two and a half years ago that we were celebrating 100 million, and it took us five years from the point in which it started to get to that 100 million mark. It took just under half that time to reach the next 100 million, so we’re continuing to see good growth in terms of the number of people that are using the app,” he said. He said church leaders are pleased about the milestone, but there are other aspects of the app’s popularity that are just as exciting. “Probably more important to us than the number of people who have it is the fact that we’ve seen huge increases in how it’s being used and where it’s being used,” Gruenewald said. For instance, he said more people are taking advantage of the Bible reading plans available on the app. Gruenewald said the app offers about 1,500 reading plans and devotional, and leaders saw an increase of 90 percent over the last year of people who have completed those plans. “In just the last 12 months, we were at 22 million of those plans that had been completed, and at the end of this year, it’s going to be 42 million, so it’s almost doubled in one year from where it was,” he said. Gruenewald said a fairly new feature

on the app also is gaining in popularity. He said an image-sharing function allows app users to take a Bible verse and overlay it on a photo that they can post on social media sites such as Instagram or Facebook. He said about 21 million of these images have been created since March when the feature was introduced. “The encouraging thing to us is that we’re not just seeing increased numbers of people getting access to it (app) but we’re seeing a really rapid increase in the amount of usage and activity,” he said.
Worldwide presence Grunewald said the app has now been installed in every country in the world, with triple-digit growth in countries including Iran, Suriname, Cameroon, Bulgaria and Uruguay since it reached the 100-million install mark in July 2013. He said he and other church leaders were especially pleased to see the app’s growth in places such as Iran, where the Bible is not popular. “Iran and Pakistan in particular are areas of the world where the Bible is not particularly popular in terms of the general population, but we’re seeing how technology is able to find its way to the people who are searching and seeking to read the Bible, and it’s a pretty exciting thing,” Gruenewald said. “In some parts of those countries, it would be very problematic if you were caught with a Bble, and so this is something that we’re excited to see
the growth taking place.”
Full engagement A special infographic page was created to share details about the app’s full scope of engagement over 200 million downloads. The page includes information such as: •The app is available for virtually every mobile device including Amazon Echo, Apple TV and Apple Watch. •The app launched with just 12 Bible versions or translations in two languages and now offers 1,237 versions in 900 languages. •The most popular verse throughout the app’s history (and in the United States) is Romans 12:2: “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is — his good, pleasing and perfect will.” •The most popular verse in the United Kingdom is Isaiah 41:10: Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” And in South Africa: Jeremiah 29:11, “… For I know the plans I have for you,” says the lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” •Top searches for Bible reading plan and devotional topics included marriage, love, faith, prayer and fasting. •On average, every second: One app is installed, three bookmarks are created, four verses are shared and 342 chapters are read. Gruenewald and the YouVersion team have another milestone in their sights: The Bible App for Kids, which was launched in November 2013, is on target to reach 10 million installs in January.
Parishioners pay tribute to Our Lady FROM STAFF REPORTS
Colorfully dressed Matachine dancers will perform their traditional dances at some metro-area Catholic churches Saturday. The dancing and festivities planned at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, St. James the Greater Catholic Church, St. Eugene Catholic Church and Edmond’s St. Monica Catholic Church are part of the annual Feast Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe observances. These observances typically include dancing, singing and prayers as parishioners pay tribute to Our Lady of Guadalupe. Our Lady of Guadalupe is considered the patroness of the Americas. The activities for the feast day are particularly popular in Roman Catholic parishes that include a large number of Hispanic parishioners, particularly those of Mexican descent. According to traditional accounts, an apparition of the Virgin Mary appeared in 1531 to an Aztec peasant, Juan Diego (declared a saint by Pope John Paul II in 2002), in Tenochtitlan, Mexico, now Mexico City. The apparition was brown-skinned and pregnant. According to accounts, the apparition told Diego to tell Roman Catholic Church leaders to build a cathedral for her in the mountains. When a clergyman demanded proof of the encounter, the apparition told Diego to gather roses on the side of a mountain — in the middle of December. When Diego appeared at the church with the miraculous roses, the shocked bishop believed him. An imprint of the apparition appeared on Diego’s tilma, or cape, in which he’d carried the roses.
Early start The traditional gatherings on the feast day, called “Las Mananitas,” occur in early morning because that is when the apparition, referred to as Our Lady, appeared, according to church history. While many services are held around 5 a.m., the events at Sacred Heart typically begin the evening before the Dec. 12 feast day, and this year was no exception, with events scheduled to begin Friday night. At an Our Lady of Guadalupe observance held in a recent year at Sacred Heart, more than 1,000 people crowded into the church’s sanctuary and the adjacent Sacred Heart Catholic School gymnasium to pay homage to Our Lady. Bouquets carried by many in the crowd provide color and a pleasant floral aroma during the festivities. The rose

BIBLE LESSON “Keep my commands and follow them. I am the Lord.” — Leviticus 22:31 God expects everyone to keep His commands because He is the Lord. The Lord is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and the Father of Jesus, God’s only begotten Son. Those who say they believe in the Lord should set the example for others by obeying God’s commands. The Book of Leviticus describes in detail the types of sacrifices God commanded. But believers do not obey these commands because they were explicitly meant for the Israelites and the foreigners residing in Israel (Leviticus 22:17). Furthermore, the sacrifices pointed toward the sacrifice of the Messiah for the forgiveness of sins. When the Messiah came, He fulfilled the Law of God by His perfect obedience and His sacrificial death to save believers. However, we can glean some principles for giving from God’s commands regarding acceptable sacrifices. We should give our best to God and those things that are valuable. For example, God commanded: “Do not offer to the Lord the blind, the injured or the maimed, or anything with warts or festering or running sores. Do not place any of these on the altar as a food offering presented to the Lord” (Leviticus 22:22). No one wants to eat anything that is unfit or unclean. By the time of Malachi the prophet, the Israelites were disregarding this command (see Malachi 1:8). Many years ago a minister lamented that some in his church were giving what was not asked for or needed; this included a filthy threadbare carpet and a fan with a burned-out motor. If the givers had understood Leviticus, they would have followed some principles for giving that would have guided them as they sought to follow the Lord. — L.G.

GOING ON OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE The following events are scheduled to take place Saturday, the Feast Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe: •St. Eugene’s Catholic Church, 2400 W Hefner Road: Our Lady of Guadalupe Mass, 8 a.m.; celebration, 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. •Sacred Heart Catholic Church, 2706 S Shartel: Our Lady of Guadalupe Mass, noon and 7 p.m. •St. Monica Catholic Church, 2001 N Western, Edmond: Las Mananitas, 6 a.m.; Mass, 7 a.m.; breakfast, 8 a.m. •St. James the Greater Catholic Church, 4201 S McKinley: Las Mananitas, 5:30 a.m.; sweet bread and hot chocolate breakfast, 6:30 a.m.; Matachines, 6 p.m.; Mass, 7 p.m.; dinner, 8 p.m.
bearers set them near an altar area where images of Our Lady have been arranged. Matachine dancers, wearing red and white finery, perform with enthusiasm, many with “clappers” on their feet to stomp out evil and “awaken” Our Lady of Guadalupe, also called the Virgin of Guadalupe.
The folk dance, called “los matachines,” continues a tradition that 16th-century Spanish missionaries brought to Mexico. Also, parishioners hold a re-enactment of Diego’s encounter with Our Lady, followed by a Mass with principal celebrant Archbishop Paul S. Coakley.
NEW MUSIC “CHRISTMAS IS HERE” BY DANNY GOKEY (BMG NEW YORK) From the record label: Helmed by award-winning producer Keith Thomas (Burt Bacharach, Amy Grant), “Christmas Is Here” infuses Danny Gokey’s soulful sound into original songs and holiday favorites. The first single “Lift Up Your Eyes” and Gokey’s rendition of the classic “Mary Did You Know?” were two of only four holiday songs on recent Christian radio charts. BOOK REVIEW “THE SHEPHERD WHO DIDN’T RUN: FATHER STANLEY ROTHER, MARTYR FROM OKLAHOMA” BY MARIA RUIZ SCAPERLANDA (OUR SUNDAY VISITOR, $19.95) Maria Ruiz Scaperlanda has done a wonderful job with this biography of Father Stanley Rother, the Oklahoma priest who was martyred in Guatemala on July 28, 1981. Her sources were Rother’s letters, diaries and journals; an unpublished biography by Father David Monahan; interviews; anecdotes and other sources. The author has worked all of this into a very readable and interesting biography. Her writing has made this biography come to life, and the reader may have tears for what happened to Father Rother and the others who were murdered in Guatemala. The author includes black and white and color photos and a map of Guatemala in the back of the book. This book is highly recommended. — Br. Benet Exton, O.S.B.

BILLY GRAHAM DEAR DR. GRAHAM: Our son (who’s in his mid-20s) just announced that his girlfriend has moved in with him, and when he comes home for Christmas he’ll be bringing her along. We didn’t raise him this way and as Christians we don’t approve of what he’s doing, but how do we tell him she’s not welcome? We don’t have an extra bedroom. — Mrs. A.B. DEAR MRS. A.B.: Our society has become more and more secular in recent years, and I’m afraid that what your son has done has become increasingly common — so much so that many people today see little wrong with it. But the Bible is clear: sexual relations outside the covenant of marriage are wrong in God’s eyes — and for good reason. God loves us, and He knows that any relationship like this is seldom secure and lasting. The reason is because it lacks the one thing that comes with marriage: a vow of commitment — both before others and before God. This is why the Bible says, “Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral” (Hebrews 13:4). Right now, however, you face a practical issue with your son, who knows your views and yet has chosen another path. He alone is responsible for his actions — but you also have the right to oversee the use of your house. Let him know your concern (although without arguing); you might offer to find space for her with a neighbor or family friend. Above all, ask God for wisdom in your relationship with your son. Don’t be harsh or judgmental. Someday his girlfriend may become his wife and the mother of your grandchildren. Most important, pray that he may realize his need for Christ and become His follower. Send your queries to “My Answer,” c/o Billy Graham, Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, 1 Billy Graham Parkway, Charlotte, NC 28201; call (877) 2-GRAHAM, or go online to www. billygraham.org.

Doors: Symbolic opening follows pope’s call FROM PAGE 1D
celebrating salvation and mercy through Christ. “Holy Doors” will be opened at eight churches throughout the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City as part of the Holy Year of Mercy proclaimed by Pope Francis. The Year of Mercy began Tuesday, with the pope opening the great bronze doors at St. Peter’s Basilica — the basilica’s designated Holy Doors — during a special ceremony. For the first time, the pope instructed all cathedrals around the world to open their Holy Doors to the faithful to encourage them to mark the jubilee at home rather than traveling to Rome. The Most Rev. Paul S. Coakley, Oklahoma City archbishop, said he has designated Holy Doors at eight churches in the archdiocese, and those doors will be opened in ceremonies set for Sunday. The churches with designated Holy Doors are: Our Lady’s Cathedral and St. Joseph Old Cathedral in Oklahoma City; St. Gregory’s Abbey, Shawnee; St. Peter Catholic Church, Woodward; St. Mary Catholic Church, Ponca City; St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church/ National Shrine of the Infant Jesus of Prague, Prague; Holy Cross Cath-

olic Church, Madill; and Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church, Lawton. “Jesus describes himself as a gate, and those who enter through him have eternal life,” Coakley said. “So this is a a way of inviting people to an encounter with Jesus and into an encounter particularly with the mercy of the Father as revealed through Jesus. It’s an invitation to renew our faith in Him.”
History of Holy Years When Pope Francis stood in prayer on the threshold of the Holy Door at St. Peter’s Basilica and then walked through it, he was the first of an estimated 10 million faithful who will pass through over the course of the next year in a rite of pilgrimage dating back centuries. Holy Years are generally celebrated every 25 to 50 years, and over the centuries they have been used to encourage the faithful to make pilgrimages to Rome to obtain an “indul-
gence” — the ancient church tradition related to the forgiveness of sins that roughly amounts to a “get out of Purgatory free” card. Unlike in Martin Luther’s time, these Holy Year indulgences are free and available to those who pass through the Holy Door. The last jubilee was in 2000, when St. John Paul II ushered in the church’s third millennium, and some 25 million pilgrims flocked to a Rome that had undergone a multimillion-dollar face-lift for the occasion.
Symbolic journey Oklahoma City Archbishop Coakley said he chose the archdiocesan sites in an effort to make the Holy Doors experience more widely available to people throughout the diocese. He said he chose some churches based on historic significance, such as St. Joseph Old Cathedral, which was Oklahoma’s first cathedral, and St.
Ice: More volunteers needed FROM PAGE 1D
Baptist crews will do the heavy work and chain saw work. Volunteers are just asked to arrive with work gloves, good shoes or boots and be prepared to work. He said volunteer groups that wish to go out with a Baptist disaster relief team leader will be
assigned to one. Porter said the ice storm crisis has again showed how Oklahoma Baptists put their faith in action for fellow Oklahomans. “I cannot say enough about how incredible our volunteer teams are and how hard and efficient that they are in this
effort,” he said. “Our main unmet need is just needing more ‘boots on the ground,’ helping move the massive amount of limbs.” In 2007, Oklahoma Baptists fulfilled some 4,000 requests after an ice storm, which took more than five weeks of work.
Gregory’s Abbey in Shawnee, because of its importance as the church Benedictine monks established before Oklahoma became a state. Coakley said archdiocesan parishioners will be encouraged to visit one or all of the sites as a pilgrimage of sorts. “It’s intended to be a journey of faith which leads us to Christ, who is symbolically represented as we pass through the door,” he said.
‘Threshold of mercy’ The Rev. Lawrence Stasyszen, abbot of St. Gregory’s Abbey, said the abbey’s monks, parishioners and visitors have been entering the church through a side door since the abbey church main entry way was designated as a Holy Door and sealed off in November. He said the abbey is honored to have been selected for the Year of
Mercy Holy Doors designation, which is among the many kinds of rituals, symbols and rites incorporated by the church to involve the “whole person.” “By physically being blocked, it’s helping us to anticipate entering into this Holy Year,” Stasyszen said. “We’re physically entering into the House of Mercy, and when we go out, we’re taking that mercy with us into the world that’s so in need right now.” The Rev. M. Price Oswalt, pastor of St. Joseph Old Cathedral, echoed the abbot’s sentiments. “It is a sign that we leave the old world behind and enter a new life of Christ,” Oswalt said. “Also, as Jesus is the ‘sheep gate,’ so we stand at the threshold of mercy.” CONTRIBUTING: THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DEAR ABBY: My heart breaks when jokes are made about older children, especially sons, who still live at home. My son “Nick” has his own area of the house and cares for himself. His rent helps us greatly. My parents also live in another part of the house, and he helps with their needs sometimes. Why does everyone make fun of these people without knowing the situation? Nick has a college degree and a good job, but the wages aren’t what they were in relation to the cost of living. We both work full time, and so I rarely see him. He also travels for his job and can be gone for two weeks at a time. He used to own a home but sold it to move out of state for work. When he came back, we set up this arrangement to benefit all of us. People need to look at the whole picture before making a judgment. Abby, do you think this is an unacceptable arrangement? — Family Extended in Kansas DEAR FAMILY EXTENDED: Unacceptable? Not at all, if it’s working for you and your family. In recent years it’s become more common for adult children to live with their parents. People shouldn’t rush to judgment if they don’t have all of the facts. DEAR ABBY: My husband has an extensive list of health issues, mental as well as physical. His family has a history of cancer. Last week, we were given the news that he may have pancreatic cancer. He watched his brother die from the same disease, so we know that if he is diag-

nosed, he may not survive long. The doctors weren’t able to make a definitive diagnosis, so there will be more testing. I love my husband with all my heart and have stood by him through everything. My dilemma: After we got the news, I started thinking about what may happen to me after he dies. I thought about getting him more life insurance, selling the house, what to do with his belongings — even where I would bury him. Am I a terrible person? I feel guilty for doing it and would appreciate your opinion. — Filled With All Sorts of Emotions DEAR FILLED: Please stop beating yourself up. I can’t think of a single reason why you should feel guilty for thinking rationally. You and your husband are going through a traumatic health crisis right now. I hope his diagnosis of a terminal illness is premature and that you will enjoy many more happy years together. However, whatever lies ahead, the two of you are overdue for a conversation about what both of you would like to happen — including a review of each other’s health care powers of attorney.

ANSWER TO PREVIOUS SUDOKU PUZZLE
GETTING STARTED
It is an old wive’s tale that unusual things happen in threes. So, I am expecting to see today’s play theme again soon. It was in the book I reviewed yesterday, “Last Call in the Menagerie.” And here it is in “The Canterbury Bridge Tales” by David Silver and Tim Bourke (Master Point Press). This book is a collection of nine stories by Silver, each containing one or two deals from Bourke. Most of these are slams requiring some type of squeeze. This is the easiest in the book. How should South play in six spades after West leads the heart jack? East made a modern weak jump overcall -- when nonvulnerable, pre-empt with a poor hand, even if the suit’s quality is wanting. South’s four clubs was a control-bid expressing slam interest. North, although he had a minimum opening, did hold two aces, so he control-bid four hearts. Then Blackwood led to the slam. Usually, when in a slam, you do best to count winners first; worry about losers second. Here, South has 12 tricks: five spades, two hearts, four diamonds and one club. But to take those diamond winners, declarer must unblock her ace-queen, draw trumps, then cross to the dummy to reach the king-jack. What is that vital dummy entry? Given the bad spade break, it must be in hearts. So, South carefully threw her heart queen under dummy’s ace at trick one. She drew trumps, cashed her diamond honors, led a heart to force an entry to the dummy, and claimed.

There are many strategies to solving Sudoku. One way to begin is to examine each 3x3 grid and figure out which numbers are missing. Then, based on the other numbers in the row and column of each blank cell, find which of the missing numbers will work. Eliminating numbers will eventually lead you to the answer.

Event offers discount vaccinations, free microchipping for your pets Free pet microchipping and discounted vaccinations will be offered during an event at Hudiburg Subaru. The dealership and the Central Oklahoma Humane Society are teaming up this holiday season to help sponsor safe and responsible pet ownership. The event will take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Dec. 19 at Hudiburg Subaru, 210 E Interstate 240 Service Road. “We’re committed to providing solutions to help prevent the problem of lost or sick pets,” said Brad Smicklas, general manager of Hudiburg Subaru. “The fewer animal lives going into our local shelters, the more lives being saved from needless euthanasia.” Microchipping allows owners to be reached much faster if a pet is lost and recovered.

The first 200 guests at the event will receive a free microchip and heavily discounted vaccines, costing $10 each. Collars and tags also will be available. “This event adds to the contribution Hudiburg Subaru makes to pets in the Central Oklahoma community through adoptions, vaccines, supply drives and microchipping,” said Susana Della Maddalena, OK Humane president and CEO.

Learn if your house is where home history is The story of a vintage house can be as fascinating as genealogy, probably because when they come together an old house becomes a historic home. Interest in home research is high enough that the Oklahoma History Center has put together a guide (geared toward Oklahoma County). Here are highlights. •Oklahoma County Assessor’s Office — to track ownership by name or address: www. oklahomacounty.org/assessor. “When you have located the entry for your home, be sure to note the subdivision name and the legal description, including the block and lot number. This site will also provide you with the names of the previous owners, but may be incomplete. State and Local Government on the web at www.statelocalgov. net will guide you to online government records for other jurisdictions.” •Oklahoma County Clerk’s Office — Use the subdivision and legal description to search for information: www.oklahomacounty.org/coclerk/. Some of the actual documents can be viewed at countyclerk.oklahomacounty.org/ registrar-of-deeds. Use to put together a legal history of your home. •City directories — to look up addresses, former owners and more. “City directories have more information than a telephone directory — in addition to the name of the person, you will find their spouse, address, their profession or work position, and in some cases, in the back portion of the directory, the neighbors and whether they owned the home.” The Oklahoma History Center research center has many city directories for Oklahoma. •Sanborn maps — large maps produced by Sanborn Map Co. of Pelham, N.Y. “Designed to aid fire insurance companies’ assessment of properties, these maps are useful for tracking changes in cities and towns. The Research Center has over 3,000 Sanborn maps for a number of towns in Oklahoma.” More information on maps is available at www.okhistory.org/ research/hillerman. Also, many public libraries, including the Metropolitan Library System, have an online subscription to Oklahoma Sanborn Maps that can be accessed with a library card: www.metrolibrary.org. •The Oklahoman/NewsOK. com — to find information about neighborhoods. “For example, when Crestwood opened in the 1920s, there were multiple ads for many of the homes including line drawings and descriptions. Searching the newspaper for the name of your subdivision may yield information as well. “Use the digital archives of The Oklahoman to search for information on the persons who lived at your address — remember to search by address as well as by name.

Oklahoma has recognized passion-driven projects of private home restoration and rehabilitation for a quarter-century with the Citation of Merit presented by the State Historic Preservation Office of the Oklahoma Historical Society. Some 350 citations have been issued since the program began in 1989, said Melvena Heisch, deputy historic preservation officer. The awards are presented at the annual Statewide Preservation Conference. The restoration of historic homes is just part of the work honored by the program, which recognizes an array of historic interests. Archaeological site preservation, preservation leadership, planning, publication, public programming, research — and restoration and rehabilitation — are lauded. The first Citations of Merit came at the centennial of the
Land Run of 1889. “We began presentation of the Citations of Merit in 1989 as a feature of Oklahoma’s First Annual Statewide Preservation Conference held in Guthrie,” Heisch said. “We continue the program as a way of recognizing and thanking the many people across Oklahoma who help us identify and protect historic properties.” Heisch said the importance and impact of preservation work extends well past the walls of any given home, commercial building or space. “Everyone has a role to play in Oklahoma’s historic preservation movement, and each contribution, whether a multimillion-dollar rehabilitation project or a local volunteer effort to provide a tour of historic properties, is important,” she said. What follows is a sampling of Citations of Merit presented in recent years for restoration and rehabilitation of homes in the Oklahoma City area. SEE HISTORIC, PAGE 2F

Zillow itself acknowledges the problem, disclosing on its website that the “median error rate” nationwide is substantial — 7.9 percent. Error rates are measured by the difference between what the automated system says is the estimated value and the subsequent selling price of the property. Median Zestimate error rates in some exurban markets, however, range much higher — 10 percent to 20 percent and worse. Now there’s a new, noteworthy competitor to Zestimates. Last week, national real estate brokerage Redfin rolled out its own proprietary model, claiming a median error rate of just 1.96 percent on homes listed for sale and 6.23 percent for all
other houses. Dubbed the “Redfin Estimate,” it’s available free on 40 million homes in 35 major metropolitan markets. Redfin CEO Glenn Kelman said his company’s model not only offers the “lowest published error rate” available, but taps into “a treasure trove of data” provided directly by multiple listing services (MLSs) around the country and uses advanced cloud-computing power. “This gives Redfin information about homes that nonbrokerage real estate websites don’t have, like whether a home has a water view or is located on a busy street.” The Redfin model also employs a weighting system keyed to SEE HARNEY, PAGE 3F

•2008: Edinborough Point LLC “The Kivlehen House, located in Edmond, is a Colonial Revival style house built in 1910 from Plan Number 582 of the Keith Company Architects Minneapolis. The SHPO congratulates Edinborough Point LLC, directed by Mariana Lloyd, on the certified rehabilitation of the house for office space. ... The rehabilitation work included installation of an automatic fire sprinkler system to meet code requirements for the new use, and the work qualifies the owners for the federal and state rehabilitation tax credits.” •2012: Positively Paseo! “The decades of hard work by Positively Paseo! staff and volunteer board members have led to the transformation of Oklahoma City’s Paseo Neighborhood, listed in the National Register of Historic Places, and national attention for their accomplishments. Located about two miles north of downtown, the neighborhood was once a thriving artists’ colony of 1920s Spanish Revival architecture and bungalows. But, the rise of gang warfare, prostitution, drugs and deteriorating buildings made it an unsafe place to live by the 1970s. “The leadership, creativity and personal investment of those determined to reclaim the neighborhood have obviously paid off. A testament to their progress, Forbes recently named the Paseo one of ‘America’s most transformed neighborhoods,’ and the American Planning Association included the neighborhood in its list of 10 Great Neighborhoods for 2010. ...” •2013: Beverly Frantz “The 1960s Rollingwood neighborhood of northwest Oklahoma City is just that — ‘rolling woods.’ It features houses known as ‘rustic ranches’ or ‘storybook ranches.’ Frantz’s house is located on a corner lot and features rough cedar siding,

neighbors began repairing aging architectural details, re-painting their wooden trim, and appreciating the unique character of the neighborhood. Through her work, there will be many more chapters for these Rollingwood Storybook Ranch Houses, including the one in which she and her husband raised their four children. One of them, her son Ron, submitted the Citation of Merit nomination.” •2014: Michael Brinkley and Lynda Donley “In 2011, Mike Brinkley and Lynda Donley began their painstaking rehabilitation of a 1921 Spanish Mission Revival-style house located at 639 S Lahoma Avenue in Norman’s Chautauqua Historic District. Neighbors called this handsome structure ‘the poster child for historic preservation’; Mike and Lynda now call it home. “Thought to be the first residential design of noted Oklahoma architect Harold Gimeno, the stucco building had fallen into severe disrepair and was vacant for seven years. Mike and Lynda acquired it after would-be buyers proposed demolition to Norman’s Historic District Commission, which denied the application. With Mike, a skilled carpenter, doing nearly all of the work himself, the couple has meticulously restored the stucco, returned true divided light doors and windows to filled-in and altered openings, and most significantly, installed a recycled polychrome terra cotta tile roof.” •2014: Brent Swift “Since 1992, contractor Brent Swift has undertaken increasingly complex historic rehabilitation projects, working in residential and commercial buildings throughout downtown Norman, the Porter corridor, in Norman’s core area neighborhoods and in Oklahoma City. He has become known for ‘acquiring the unaquirable’ and rehabilitating buildings thought to be beyond salvage. ...”

How to sell a home on a busy road Before Eric Tyson and his wife had kids, they spent five carefree years living in a townhouse on a busy thoroughfare in a noisy, vibrant part of San Francisco. But after their twin sons were born, they traded this starter home for one in a tranquil Connecticut suburb. Although the couple look back fondly on their San Francisco years, they also remember the difficulty they had selling their first house because of its intensely urban location. ‘’Some people aren’t noise-sensitive and don’t care if they live in a main road. But most people want to avoid the traffic, pollution and lack of privacy that comes with such a location. They also fear more crime,” said Tyson, co-author of “House Selling for Dummies.” He cautions that those attempting to sell a property set on a busy artery must price realistically or risk having the place languish unsold on the market
Ellen James Martin SMART MOVES for a lengthy period. The good news for sellers of well-priced homes is that many cash-strapped buyers in their 20s and 30s are now eager to exit their rental units. To shoehorn themselves into their first property, many must compromise on location to obtain an affordable place, said Svenja Gudell, chief economist at Zillow, the online real estate database company. Sid Davis, a veteran real estate broker and author of “A Survival Guide to Selling a Home,” said empty-nesters may also appreciate more urban homes. They like a location that lets them walk to coffee shops, restaurants, grocery stores and movie theaters. Also, he said some foreign-born buyers are less

market preferences for different home features and locations. As you might suspect, Redfin isn’t providing free online estimates purely out of a desire to further the general public’s knowledge. It’s in the business of representing buyers and sellers, and you can’t miss the tie-ins that accompany your Redfin Estimate. When you visit its site (www.redfin.com/redfin-estimate) and log in an address, it displays not only the home photo and value, but has multiple links to agents “who can discuss and refine estimates ... as well as list the home for sale.” It’s all voluntary of course — no obligation — but you get the point. Like Zillow, Redfin discloses median error rates. The lowest rates for estimates on active listings are in Colorado (1.41 percent), Virginia (1.58 percent), Washington state (1.65 percent) and Arizona (1.67 percent). In metropolitan Washington D.C., it’s 1.95 percent. Valuation error rates on houses not listed for sale run considerably higher, such as 10.67 percent in West Virginia, 8.46 percent in Pennsylvania and 8.2 percent in Florida.
So what does Zillow think about this new competition from Redfin? I spoke with Stan Humphries, chief economist and chief analytics officer, and he didn’t mince words. Redfin’s claims of superiority may be “great marketing but there’s not much reality to it,” he said. Zestimates are available on 100 million homes, more than twice as large a database as Redfin’s, and its median error rate covers listed and nonlisted houses. Nonlisted and nonurban homes inevitably are tougher to value, but Redfin limits its exposure by focusing on just 35 metropolitan areas. He scoffed at Redfin’s trumpeting of direct pipelines into MLS data and its use of cloud computing. Zillow uses listing information from MLSs and directly from brokers, and has employed cloud computing for years, Humphries said. So what to make of this emerging spat between real estate valuation competitors? How about this: Try both systems on one or more houses, maybe your own and one or more you know well.

resistant to living on a main road than are those who grew up in this country. Still, Mark Nash, author of “1001 Tips For Buying and Selling a Home,” said it’s not unusual for homes on major roadways to sell for at least 15 percent below nearly identical houses on quiet streets in the same area. Here are a few pointers for those trying to sell a place on a heavily traveled road: •Select a listing agent who sees the positives about your property. Nash tells the true story of a couple of young homebuyers who were eager to leave the apartment they’d been renting for years in downtown Chicago.
The pair fell in love with a Tudor-style house that met all their requirements, including a gourmet kitchen. It also had the large yard they were seeking for their puppy. But it was located on a heavily traveled road. Nash said the couple pondered the pros and cons of the purchase for several days before agreeing with the listing agent who convinced them that its positives outweighed its negatives. ‘’A key selling point was the very reasonable price for this house,” Nash said. When selecting a real estate agent to list your roadside home, he said it’s important to choose a diligent person who exudes
confidence about your ability to sell, assuming you’ve agreed to price your home realistically. •Make the most of the visibility of your property. Traffic congestion has one advantage for the sellers of homes on busy roads. That’s because their “For Sale” signs are more visible than those who are trying to sell their houses on less traveled streets in the same community. With so many drivers passing by, you’re bound to attract the attention and curiosity of many people. With this in mind, Nash suggests you ask your agent to attach “riders” to the main sign that focus on the positive points of your property.
•Highlight the accessibility of your home to commuters. Even in areas where traffic congestion has stayed steady in recent years, many people still loathe their long highway commutes. The result is that relatively more commuters are now willing to live on major thoroughfares, assuming this will shorten their drive to work. ‘’People who have to get to work quickly ... are especially keen about quick highway access. This is one positive feature of living on a main road,” Nash said. To contact Ellen James Martin, email her at ellenjamesmartin@gmail.com. UNIVERSAL UCLICK

HOLIDAY GIFT IDEAS The gift-giving season is upon us, and you may have a gardener or nature lover on your list. Here are a few ideas. Raising chickens in your backyard is becoming a very popular thing to do. “The Chicken Health Handbook” was originally published in 1999, but the new up-to-date revision is coming out this month from Storey Publishing. Raising chickens may seem like a fun thing to do, but like any animal, they can have problems and it is a good idea to know what to look for and what to do when you see signs of problems. This book emphasizes preventive methods of keeping chickens healthy. “Into The Nest” is also a book about birds, but this one covers 50 common bird species, from the time the males begin to sing until the babies leave the nest. Have you ever seen a nest in a tree and wondered what kind of bird made it? It was probably made by one of these birds, and now you can see not only the nest, but what the babies and adults looked like. This book is from Storey. If you ever need a four-letter word made from leftover letters in a game of Boggle or Scrabble, try the word “trug.” A trug is a long and wide horizontal basket used to carry flowers or vegetables from the garden. They are very useful. The Joseph Bentley Tools Co. was established in 1895 and is known for making garden tools with a lifetime warranty. Their garden trug is 15 inches long and 12 inches wide and has two handles. It is made from Metasequoia (Dawn Redwood) wood, so it will last for a long time. The Bentley Garden Trug may be available from your local garden center; if not you can find it and other high-quality garden tools at josephbentleyus.com. — Jeff Rugg, Creators Syndicate

Mom’s new home: Tips for moving an elderly parent “How would you like to move to Florida?” I ask my 93-year-old mother over the phone. Again. Mom has dementia, and lives in a memory care center in Los Angeles. “And be closer to you?” she asks. “I would like that, but I have to check with the family.” That’s mom. Family first. Problem is she forgets she doesn’t have much family left there. “Well you think about it,” I say, but the moving machine was in motion. In fact, as you read this, if all has gone according to plan, God willing and the creek don’t rise, I will have packed up Mom, rolled her and her oxygen equipment via wheelchair onto a oneway flight to Orlando, Fla., and transported her into her new home, an assisted-living facility with memory care near me. Then I will sit down on a curb somewhere and have a stiff drink. This milestone will cap a plan born two months ago when I visited Mom in the care center where she’s spent (I can’t really say “lived”) the past three years. That day I left her with a kiss and a promise: I would be back as soon as I could. And I meant it, though I honestly didn’t know when I’d next make the 3,000-mile trip from Florida. And that bothered me. My heart ached. A few days later, while brushing my teeth, the thought hit me like one of those cartoon moments in Batman. Bam! Pow! I will move Mom here! Just because she’s lived in California since she married Dad in 1948 doesn’t mean she can’t leave. I calculated the hurdles. I’d need my brother, my only sibling, to agree this was a good idea. I’d need to enlist the staff at her current residence to help, which would take some coaxing. I would need Mom, who’s easily confused, to cooperate. I would need to figure out how to get her airline-approved oxygen equipment. I would need to find her a new wonderful home, a pretty place, with caring well trained staff, a good track record, tasty food, beautiful gardens, activities and happy residents. That’s all. And I wanted that by Christmas. I became a woman possessed. Suddenly, I needed Mom here as badly as I needed my next breath. Those who know me

THE HEALTHY HOME well know this: When I want something, I am as determined as a terrier, relentless as a prosecutor, focused as a laser beam. With Mom close, I could visit her a few times a week, drop in for coffee. Fix her hair. Look at old photos with her. Bring her to my home where I could serve her lunch on her wedding china. I floated the idea by my brother. He agreed that the hassle of uprooting and moving Mom would be well worth the long-term benefits of frequent visits. I gave her care center notice and asked them to start the transfer process. I kept Mom in the loop. “How would you like to move to Florida?” I ask her again, hoping that if I keep bringing it up, the move won’t come as a shock, though it will. “Florida,” she says. “That sounds nice. I could use a change.” “Well,” I say, “you’re going to have one.” The hunt for assisted-living facilities is, let me just say, about as much fun as used car shopping. Fortunately, I stumbled on A Place for Mom, a free, nationwide service that helps families find senior living options. My senior living adviser, Laura Skender, became my personal angel and helped me find, well, a place for Mom. Here’s what I learned about this kind of home shopping: •Read the reviews. Before you visit any facility, investigate online. Go beyond the facility’s website. Read online reviews and check government agencies for reports of inspections, violations and citations. The information is public. I ruled out several facilities for serious violations I wouldn’t have otherwise known about. •Get an advocate. Working with a senior living adviser was a great move. Skender narrowed my search, sent me a list of potential communities, fielded questions and set up tours. She knew which places had openings and what they charged. (Information not available on the website.) She also knew what licenses to look for based on the care Mom needed. She saved me

hours of wasted time. •Visit. Once you get a short list of communities that fit your criteria, tour them. Get a sense of whether the place is clean, attractive and inviting. Look at both common areas and rooms. Try to picture whether your parent would fit into the culture. Check out the activity schedule, outings and religious services. •Follow your nose. If the place smells sour or like urine, be concerned. If the odor is isolated, it’s likely related to one incident. But if the place smells bad throughout, cross it off your list. •Staff check. You can expect the tour guide to be warm and friendly, but note how staff interacts with residents. Do they listen, make eye contact, and show kindness, patience
and respect? •Price check. Find out what the room cost covers, what is extra, how often rates increase and historically by how much, and how costs could increase as care needs go up. •Eat there. Most communities boast about their food, but there’s only one way to find out. •Look down the road. Find out under what circumstances your loved one might have to leave. I wanted a place that could care for Mom through the end of her life. The place I will have moved Mom to by the time you read this can. Welcome to Florida, Mom.

suitable for display. You should select a tree that is the right height for the space you have chosen for it. Cutting large portions off either end will alter the natural taper of the tree. •Freshness is an important key when selecting your tree. The needles should be resilient, but not brittle. Run your finger down a branch; the needles should adhere to each twig. Shake or bounce the tree on the ground lightly to see that the needles are firmly attached. If only a few drop off, the tree is fresh and with proper care should retain its freshness indoors throughout the holiday season. •The limbs should be strong enough to hold ornaments and strings of electric lights and the tree should have a strong fragrance and good green color.
Caring for your tree •If you buy your tree several days before it will be set up and decorated, store it outside. Cut the butt of the tree diagonal about one 1 inch above the original cut; this opens the pores and aids in the absorption of water. Place the butt end in a container of water. •When you bring your tree into the house, saw the butt again, squaring off the diagonal. This facilitates placing the tree

in a stand and aids absorption. Keep the butt end of the tree in a container of water the entire time it is in the house. Refill the container daily as the tree requires a lot of water. Sprinkling water on the branches and needles before you decorate the tree will help retain freshness. •Be sure the base of the tree is well-supported and the tree is placed away from fireplaces, radiators, electric heaters, televisions or any other source of heat. •Open flames, such as lighted candles, should never be used on or near the tree. In addition, never leave your home with the Christmas tree lights still on. The longer the tree is indoors, the more combustible it will become. Check electric light cords for fraying and worn spots that could easily lead to fires. Also, do not overload the electric circuits and avoid the use of combustible decorations.

Myersdale has Georgian flavor The Myersdale is a contemporary home with a nostalgic Georgian flavor. Classic columns with an arched brick opening highlight and support an impressive entry, where two wide sidelights flank a door crowned by a half-round sunburst transom. A partially vaulted hexagonal great room is at the core of this home. Wings extend to the right and left, then forward, creating a recessed entry courtyard effect. Doors on the three-car garage face the golf cart garage instead of the street. Passing through the vaulted porch, you step into a partially vaulted entry. The front half of the hexagon comprises the kitchen, utility room and a storage closet tucked under the stairs to the loft. These are under a spacious 9-foot ceiling. Vaulting expands the volume in the great room’s naturally bright rear. Six wedge-shaped ceiling segments slope dramatically upward to join points at a central apex, and the three rear sides are a virtual wall of multipane windows. A home entertainment center and woodstove nestle into junctures on both sides of the central section. Here, a set of Palladian windows over sliding French doors open out onto a vaulted covered patio.

Storm victims need to be wary of repair services FROM STAFF REPORTS
Attorney General Scott Pruitt is urging Oklahomans to be wary of criminals streaming into communities targeting homes and businesses damaged by the recent ice storm. “Following any storm, whether it is a tornado or an ice storm, Oklahomans should be wary of travelers. These are criminals who travel from one community to the next in an attempt to take advantage of folks, who in this instance have a lot of cleaning up to do,” Pruitt said. “As we enter the winter season, it is especially important for us all to use caution and patience while going through the cleanup process to find reputable contractors.” Pruitt advised wariness of repair services and contractors who: •Solicit door-to-door. •Offer discounts for finding other customers. •“Just happen to have” materials left over from a previous job. •Accept only cash payments. •Pressure you for an imme-
diate decision. •Ask you to pay for the entire job up-front. Pruitt suggested the following tips for choosing a proper contractor or repair service: •Ask for referrals from people you trust. •Try to do business with local companies. •Request to see proof of certification and insurance. •Check out the repair service with the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Unit, Oklahoma Construction Industries Board and Better Business Bureau. •Ask for references. •Get written estimates from several companies. •Don’t do business without a written contract. •Get all guarantees, warranties and promises in writing. •Agree on start and completion dates, and have them in the contract. Anyone who suspects fraud related to storm cleanup or repairs or who experiences price gouging should contact the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Unit at 5212029.

They’re listed in order of the manufacturer’s suggested retail price, and can be found at home improvement stores and other retailers, as well as online. •OLFA Knifes and Scissors (Various models, $8 to $17): I like the quality and comfort of these handy, heavyduty knives for a wide variety of DIY tasks. They have non-slip grips, and the snap-off, replaceable blades will easily cut drywall, roofing, linoleum, insulation and other common materials. The scissors are perfect for the shop and work left- or right-handed. They have anti-slip serrated edges that are sharpened to the tip and will cut metal, vinyl, rubber and more. • HangO-Matic ($14.95): Fr u s trated with hanging pictures s t ra i g h t and level? Then this “ w h y didn’t I think of that?” tool is just what you need! The 6-foot tape measure has two sliding steel points and a sliding bubble level on it: Simply set the points to the width of the anchor points on whatever you’re hanging; hold the tool against the wall at the desired height; make sure the bubble is level; then press the two pins into the wall to mark where your nails or hangers will go. Simple and perfect every time! •Dremel Vacuum-Powered Rotary Tool (VRT1-1/5, $29.99): Here’s a way to transform your shop vacuum into a rotary tool, allowing the suction of the vacuum to power the tool and keep the work site clean at the same time. It’s intended for small, light-duty projects that create a lot of dust, such as working with drywall, wood, glass, ceramic, Styrofoam and
similar dust-producing materials. Includes cutting guide and five sanding and cutting accessories. •DeWalt 5-inch Random Orbit Sander Kit (DWE6421K, $65.99): This is a really nice sander from DeWalt that’s comfortable to hold and works great. The 3-amp motor spins the 5-inch, eight-hole pad at 12,000 OPM (orbits per minute), and it has a low profile for better control. Rubber over-molding, a counterweight design to reduce vibration, a dust-sealed switch, and improved dust collection all equal a pro-quality sander you’ll love. Includes dust bag and carry bag. •Milwaukee M12 Cordless Compact Vacuum ($76): Perfect for your job site or your shop, this lightweight and powerful vacuum uses the same M12 batteries from the other Milwaukee tool lineup. Features a reusable 42-pleat filter and a transparent canister that makes it easy to see how much of the vacuum is full. Lock-on switch lets you work without holding down a trigger. Includes a crevice tool, utility nozzle and extension wand. •Rotozip Rotosaw+ with Dust Vault Kit (SS560vsc-31, $99.99): The Rotosaw is a wonderfully handy tool for cutting holes and notches in a wide variety of materials, such as drywall, wood and ceramic tile. The Rotosaw+ has a 6-amp motor and variable speeds from 15,000 to 30,000 RPM. And with the Dust Vault attachment, you’ll eliminate 90 percent of the dust while you’re cutting without the need for a shop vac. Complete kit includes Rotosaw+, Dust Vault, collets and bits. •Craftsman 12 Volt Heated Hoodie (4988049882, $179.99): Here’s a great way to stay warm while tackling those cold-weather DIY projects or just having some outdoor fun. Lithium ion battery pack provides heat to four zones on the left and right chest, back and neck. Includes four temperature settings — low, medium,
high and max — so you can dial in exactly the warmth you need. Elastic waist and cuffs with a soft lining. Includes battery and charger. •Porter-Cable 20V MAX Lithium Ion Cordless 18 GA Brad Nailer (PCC790LA, $199): This cordless nailer operates on any Porter-Cable 20V lithium ion battery, eliminating the need for a compressor and hose. Has a fastener length capacity of 5/8 inch to 2 inches, and a magazine capacity of 100 nails. The nailer is capable of driving up to 1,300 nails per charge using a 4 Ah battery. Features tool-free jam release and tool-free depth adjustment wheel. Two LED lights illuminate the work surface, and warn of low batteries and stalls. •Milwaukee Trueview M18 LED HP Flood Light (2360-20, 239.99): Milwaukee’s incredible new Flood Light is the industry’s brightest portable 18V light, and it’s 20 percent brighter than the 500W halogen floods typically used on jobs. It can provide up to 3,000 lumens of light, with three output modes for up to nine hours of run-time. Operates off Milwaukee lithium ion M18 batteries, and I love the convenient option of using it with an AC cord for all-day power. The head rotates 240 degrees, and there are three keyholes in the base for easy hanging. Truly an excellent light! •Black+Decker 36V Lithium Stick Vacuum (BDH3600SV, $299.99): Home cleanup is an issue for everyone, which is why I really like the concept of this new high-voltage, cordless vacuum. It’s designed to work as an upright stick vacuum, as well as a detachable hand vacuum. The 12-cyclone design maximizes power by helping prevent material from clogging the unit. There are lots of features, including a powered beater bar, LED lights that show the level of charge, a removable and washable bowl, and a built-in crevice tool on the hand vac. The vacuum is self-standing, and is charged via the included docking station.
