SINGLE-ENGINE PLANE WOULDN’T MEET GUIDELINES FOR ATHLETIC TRAVEL ADOPTED AFTER 2001 ACCIDENT

Crash raises questions on OSU’s travel policy BY RANDY ELLIS Staff Writer rellis@opubco.com

STILLWATER — As Oklahoma State University mourns after the second airplane crash to devastate

its basketball programs in 11 years, questions have arisen as to how this happened at a school that adopted one of the most strict athletic travel policies in the nation following the first crash in 2001.

The airplane that crashed Thursday killing four people near Perryville, Ark., was a singleengine Piper that would not meet the OSU team travel policy’s minimum requirement for aircraft to

COLUMNIST CASHION — With the ultrasound before them, Ryan Hamil, 3, and his brother, Cole, 15 months, could hardly sit still. They had one sister and soon would have another. Hank Hamil, a custom harvester, had started wheat harvest in Throckmorton, Texas, but came home for the day, just for the visit to the hospital. He and his wife, Catherine, recall the looks on the boys’ faces as they watched the motion on the screen. That was May 20. Four days later, a violent tornado churned toward their home near Waterloo Road and N County Line Road in Piedmont. Catherine protected her children by huddling under a mattress in a bathtub with the boys and daughter, Cathleen, then 5 years old. The deadly EF5 struck. Cole died in a hospital.

State seeks to improve student tests EDUCATION | WAIVER OF NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND ACT WOULD ALLOW OKLAHOMA TO ACCOUNT FOR ACTUAL IMPROVEMENT IN CLASS BY MEGAN ROLLAND Staff Writer mrolland@opubco.com

State schools Superintendent Janet Barresi said she hopes this year will be the last time schools are judged under the No Child Left Behind Act and the notorious needs improvement list. “For a long, long time school districts have been laboring under No Child Left Behind and have been labeled as failures, even knowing that they were doing wonderful things for the education of students,” Barresi said. Ten years after schools first began aggregating student test scores, attendance and graduation rates into performance reports to the federal government, Oklahoma has

joined 10 other states applying for an exemption. U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan applauded Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Tennessee for making the tight deadline for the waivers.

Local reform Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the other 28 states that have expressed their intent to seek waivers can do so in February or later in the spring. “Clearly, there’s tremendous urgency for reform at the local level because our economy and our future are directly tied to the quality of public education,” Duncan said in a news release.

“States and districts want flexibility from NCLB so they can make local decisions in the best interests of children.” The state Education Department developed and laid out a new accountability system in its 338page application that will replace the federal accountability system created by former President George W. Bush in 2001. Barresi said if the waiver is granted, schools still will be held accountable for student performance, only the measure will be more fair and accurate. Under the No Child Left Behind Act, schools and districts received an Academic Performance Index score based on a number of criteria, none of which included individual student growth.

Sales: Senator cites ‘out-of-control’ situation FROM PAGE 1A

some of which are peculiar and complex. If you buy a cotton gin, you won’t pay sales taxes … but if you buy a conveyor belt for your cotton gin, the state gets its due. If you buy a bottle of vitamins, it’s tax time … unless you buy it in your chiropractor’s office. If you buy an artist’s painting, it’s taxable … unless you commission the painting beforehand, then it’s not. Sen. Mike Mazzei, RTulsa, heads a task force looking at tax reform and says the state has a problem with the number of sales-tax exemptions it has granted. “It has exploded to somewhat of an out-of-control level.” Last year, the tax commission estimated the revenue impact on 64 of the exemptions at just short of $4.1 billion a year, more than half the state’s annual budget. But getting big state revenue hikes by wiping out exemptions isn’t all that simple. The two biggest exemptions: $1.5 billion on sales of goods that will be sold again and the $1.7 billion for sales to manufacturers. While both exemptions represent a huge loss of revenue to the state, their removal would amount to double taxation on consumers — products would be taxed before they got to the final consumer and again when they are sold retail — and would result in a significant increase in prices.

Growth issue The manufacturers’ exemption is also fundamental to the future growth of the state economy, said Mike Seney, senior vice president of the state chamber of commerce. “You take away that sales-tax exemption for manufacturing and those manufacturers aren’t going to stay here.” Mazzei said he doesn’t foresee the state taking on the manufacturers’ exemption or the wholesale exemption, but through a process of analysis and prioritization, the state can whittle down the number of exemptions. Perhaps the most controversial exemptions are those to certain industries that the Legislature has decided to support over the years. The state decides to promote brew pubs, so manufacturers of lowpoint beer get an exemption on the purchases of machinery. The state decides it wants a spaceport and a broad range of sales are exempted. The state gets behind a move to attract a professional sports franchise to the state and NBA ticket sales go off the books.

IN BRIEF GOVERNMENT IS BENEFICIARY One of the biggest beneficiaries of sales-tax exemptions in Oklahoma is government. The state could get $92 million a year more if it removed the exemption on sales to the state, but, of course, the cost of state government would go up by $92 million at the same time. Sales to the federal government are also exempt from the sales taxes, keeping the state in line with a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that the state cannot tax the federal government. Federal contractors, federally funded facilities, counties, cities, school districts, rural water districts, port authorities, state colleges, state parks, bordering states and their political subdivisions, state and county fairs, public libraries, volunteer fire departments and school cafeterias all enjoy salestax exemptions. Tuition is also sales tax exempt — at public and private schools.

Dozens of exemptions have been added through the years including newspapers and periodicals, radio stations, television stations, cable television systems, motion picture production companies, advertising, aircraft and motor vehicle leases, highquality child-care centers.

Worm farmers “There are definitely special interest carve-outs that have been created for sales-tax exemptions,” Mazzei said. “We have several items in the code now that seem questionable at best.” There’s an exemption for eggs, feed, supplies, machinery and equipment purchased by worm, fish or insect farmers. Another covers the sale of gold, platinum, palladium or other bullion stored within certain depositories. The biggest agricultural exemptions cover the sale of livestock, animal feed and farm machinery. That costs the state $64.7 million a year. Livestock purchased outside the state is exempt from the state’s use tax, at a price of $57.9 million a year.

Profit and loss Mike Spradling, president of the Oklahoma Farm Bureau, said it’s the difference between profit

and loss for many farmers. “That 8 percent can make a lot of difference in the survival of farms in a lot of years.” Then there’s the exemption for the sale of railroad track spikes manufactured and used in the state. That exemption benefits the sales of only one such company: Gerdau, owner of Sand Springs Rail Products, which employs 25 people. Gerdau spokeswoman Kim Selph said the exemption was part of a package to entice Gerdau’s predecessor to move its operations from Texas. “Since there was no sales tax on spike sales in Texas or any other states, the Oklahoma legislators recognized that if (the company) was required to collect sales tax, it would be at a competitive disadvantage and unable to survive,” she said. Other exemptions target dues paid to fraternal, religious, civic, charitable or education organizations. The price tag: $3.6 million a year. So are sales of property or services to churches — another $5.4 million annually. Boys and Girls Clubs of America, 4-H clubs, the Disabled American Veterans, the YMCA, the YWCA, Meals on Wheels, and organizations providing funding for the preservation and conservation of wetlands and habitat for wild ducks and turkeys all have sales-tax exemptions written into law.

Charities exempt While the exemptions may be small potatoes to the state, they can be critically important to charities. “Every penny that we can save on things means more service that we can provide,” said Daniel Rabovsky, executive director of Meals on Wheels of Metro Tulsa. “It means more meals for people who are homebound and disabled and unable to make meals for themselves.” When the Legislature gets through reviewing the exemptions, Seney said he suspects it will decide not to change much. “You would think that there is a bonanza, if you just eliminated them all across the board,” he said. “You may look at a bonanza for a very short period of time, but most of it would be on moving trucks moving people out of the state.”

Oklahoma’s new accountability system would be called Differentiated Recognition, Accountability and Support System. In Oklahoma’s application, the new system would list schools in four categories: reward, priority, focus and targeted. State exams still will play a prominent role in categorizing schools based on academic performance. Only now, instead of looking at the numbers of students who pass state math and reading exams, the school assessments will be based in part on how individual students improve over previous years. For example, only half a school’s math and reading score will be based on the overall test performance. Another 25 percent of the score will be based on

the growth of the lowest performing 25 percent of students. And the remaining 25 percent of the score will be based on the growth of all students.

Rewarding progress The plan is set up to reward schools with added points if students can progress on the exam from one category to another. If in the previous year an eighth-grade student scored limited knowledge on the exam, then scored proficient on the ninthgrade test, this would be worth one point. If a student remains satisfactory or proficient, that is worth one point, but if a student jumps from unsatisfactory to advanced, that is worth three points. Schools will earn

no points for students who score lower on exams or students who remain in the unsatisfactory or limited knowledge categories. In the end, the school will receive a score between 80 and 320 points for both math and reading. It’s a drastic change from No Child Left Behind, which doesn’t account for student growth, but the plan is still not a true growth model that takes into account whether a student met his or her potential during a school year. Rather, student growth is still based on test benchmarks. Oklahoma should find out next year if the application has been accepted. If so, Barresi said the new accountability system would be implemented for the 2011-12 exams.

Weather ruled out as cause in OSU crash BY MICHAEL KIMBALL Staff Writer mkimball@opubco.com

Authorities have finished the on-scene portion of their investigation into the deadly plane crash involving Oklahoma State University women’s basketball coach Kurt Budke, but the only factor they’ve been able to rule out as a possible cause so far is the weather. Investigators spent Friday and Saturday documenting the location and condition of the wreckage of the four-seat Piper

PA-28-180 Cherokee aircraft, said Jason Aguilera, an air safety investigator with the National Transportation Safety Board. The single-engine plane crashed Thursday in mountainous central Arkansas, killing Budke, 50; assistant coach Miranda Serna, 36; pilot and former state Sen. Olin Branstetter, 82, and his wife, Paula, 79. The evidence confirmed that the plane crashed nose first, Aguilera said. “That’s pretty significant,” he said. “That makes us feel as though there’s a good chance there

was a loss of control prior to impact.” Beyond that, the cause of the crash remains unclear, Aguilera said. The weather was relatively clear at the time, so it was not a factor in the crash.

‘Fact-finding stage’ Officials are still in what Aguilera called a “factfinding stage” of the ongoing investigation. Authorities took the wreckage to a secure area in Clinton, Ark., on the property of Dawson Aircraft Services, a business that specializes in aircraft salvage.

AT A GLANCE SERVICES SET I A memorial service for the four victims is set for 1 p.m. Monday at Gallagher-Iba Arena on the OSU campus in Stillwater, where Kurt Budke’s Cowgirls play their home games. I Funeral services for Olin and Paula Branstetter are scheduled for 2 p.m. Tuesday at the Assembly of God in Ponca City under the direction of Trout Funeral Home.

Investigators are studying each piece of wreckage, searching for any clues of a mechanical problem or damage from

before the plane plummeted to the ground, Aguilera said. The plane, built in 1964, crashed into a ridge about

4:30 p.m. Thursday in a heavily wooded part of the Ouachita National Forest about 45 miles northwest of Little Rock, Ark., in the Winona Wildlife Management Area. The plane was en route to Little Rock so Budke and Serna could watch basketball games as part of a recruiting trip. The NTSB typically releases a preliminary report on plane crashes within about a week, but a full report can take a year or more. Perry County sheriff’s deputies also were a part of the crash site cleanup Saturday, a dispatcher said.

OSU: Some say strict rules only applied to team travel FROM PAGE 1A

meet that standard because it was a recruiting trip and no student athletes were on board. “The team travel policy only applies to team travel,” Shutt said. “The coaches, if they’re doing other types of travel, like recruiting, it does not fall under that policy.” Gary Clark, vice president and general counsel for OSU, said, “The policy was developed to protect the student athletes. It provides the strict terms and conditions governing travel arrangements when student athletes are involved. It expressly allows coaches and professional staff complete discretion to make their own determination whether to accept a flight on a donated aircraft. “In the aftermath of the tragic death of two beloved coaches and two loyal supporters of OSU, we may well want to revisit the policy. It’s natural, and it’s the right thing to do. However, as currently applicable, the policy did not cover this flight, as no student athletes were involved.” OSU women’s basketball head coach Kurt Budke, 50, died in the crash, along with assistant coach Miranda Serna, 36. Also killed were pilot Olin Branstetter, 82, an OSU booster and former state senator; and the pilot’s wife, Paula, 79. A memorial service is scheduled for 1 p.m. Monday at Gallagher-Iba Arena in Stillwater. While the university has taken the position its team travel policy did not apply to this trip, the policy itself addresses team travel as well as coaches traveling without players. Much of the 11-page policy is devoted to listing what is required when commercial aircraft, charter flights or time-share flights are used for team travel. The policy then

moves to a section that lists specific requirements for other aircraft. “Other aircraft are an acceptable means of travel for coaches and professional athletic department staff, based on personal election,” the section states. It then lists what appear to be minimum requirements for such “other aircraft,” including that “the aircraft are powered by two or more turbine engines.” Another section titled “Other Aircraft Approval” states that OSU’s “aviation consultant must approve in writing the use of aircraft prior to travel.” Shutt said it’s his understanding Budke didn’t obtain written approval but that university attorneys don’t believe he needed to because no team members were on the plane. The age of the pilot, 82, and age of the airplane, which was built in 1964, have prompted some to wonder whether those were risk factors. Shutt said such issues are left to the coaches’ discretion. Branstetter had a commercial pilot’s license, was a certified flight instructor and was qualified for the airplane he was piloting, Federal Aviation Administration records indicate. Branstetter passed his last pilot’s physical in April 2010 and wasn’t due for another one until 2012, said Lynn Lunsford, FAA spokesman. The pilot had a clean record with no history of accidents. Shutt said he didn’t know when, if ever, the OSU athletic department

previously had used Branstetter’s services as a pilot but said Branstetter had donated an aviation scholarship to the university. Shutt said he also didn’t know how common it was for OSU coaches to be flown around in single-engine planes on recruiting trips, but noted that commercial airlines often don’t lend themselves very well to recruiting trips in difficult-to-reach places.

Protecting students This is the second time in a little more than a decade that OSU fans have been in mourning after a devastating plane crash. In January 2001, an airplane crashed near Strasburg, Colo., killing 10 men associated with the OSU men’s basketball program. After that tragedy, a task force was formed that recommended a new travel policy to better protect the safety of student athletes. The policy covers not only air travel but also travel by vans and other means of transportation. It is very specific in many areas. For example, when 12- and 15-passenger vans are used, it requires them to have a 155-inch wheelbase and that they be equipped with “E” rated tires. There are strict requirements regarding the qualifications of drivers and pilots, as well. Shutt said the university constantly is updating its policies but that he didn’t know whether changes would be made regarding coaches’ travel in light of the latest tragedy.

Task force looks at fathers in prison CORRECTIONS | ABOUT 1,800 OKLAHOMA CHILDREN HAVE PARENTS INCARCERATED OUTSIDE THE STATE, MAKING VISITATION TOUGH BY JACLYN COSGROVE

Lifeline

Oklahoma Watch

Tonya Finley has been taking her granddaughters to see their father often enough that the prison guards know them. “Savannah will go up to them and ask, ‘Will you please let my daddy come home?’ and, they’ll go ‘We’re just about to,’ ” Finley said. At the first of every month, Finley and her granddaughters Alissa, 9, and Savannah, 6, leave their home in Hugo at 4 a.m. to visit the girls’ father and Finley’s son, Shawn Ragan, at a correctional facility in Tennessee Colony, Texas, about 170 miles south of Hugo. Ragan, 28, was convicted of aggravated robbery in 2006 and was sentenced to 25 years in prison. He was arrested in 2005 after he used a broken beer bottle to rob an elderly couple while at a lake, according to court records. His daughters are two of at least 1,800 children in Oklahoma with parents incarcerated outside of the state. Little was known about this group of children until recently when the Children of Incarcerated Parents Task Force collected the data in cooperation with Angel Tree, a prison fellowship program.

Behavioral cycle Finley has noticed a behavioral cycle with her granddaughters that centers around their prison visits. After the girls spend time with their father at the prison, they appear calmer and happier. But as the month goes on, they’ll start to act out and get depressed. “After they go see him, and he sits with them and rocks them and talks to them, on the way home, they’re two completely different kids,” Finley said. Imprisonment of fathers is likely to disrupt a child’s home, with most of their children losing financial support and many

losing an important source of nurturing, according to the Oklahoma Institute for Child Advocacy. Child advocates and experts report that children of incarcerated parents run a higher risk of going to prison themselves and also are more likely to live below the poverty line. Additionally, Oklahoma has the highest female incarceration rate in the nation and is generally in the top five in incarcerating men. “I think the average Oklahoman would be amazed at the number (of offenders) out of state and their kids are here,” said Lisa Smith, who leads the task force. “It was certainly a surprise to us.” Smith, Oklahoma Commission on Children and Youth director, said these children face different obstacles than children of Oklahoma offenders. For one, the distance

between the parents and children makes visitation tougher, she said. Also, long-distance phone calls to prison can come at a high cost to families.

State inmate data The task force has also collected data about fathers in Oklahoma Corrections Department custody. From data collected from 1,363 male offenders at eight prison facilities, researchers created estimates to represent how many children the entire male offender population had. Some of the research findings: An estimated 21,482 minor children have a father in prison. Of those children, an estimated 10,204 were living with the father in the six months before his arrest. An estimated 4,750 children with incarcerated

State has had 25 fire declarations this year BY ANDREW KNITTLE Staff Writer aknittle@opubco.com

Drought-stricken Oklahoma has been the site of 25 of 115 federal fire assistance declarations this year, the highest total in at least a decade. And the year’s not over yet. The declarations allow qualifying agencies, including fire departments, to apply for reimbursement of up to 75 percent for the costs of containing the fires. Eleven of Oklahoma’s fire declarations this year came in August, when temperatures rarely fell below 100 degrees and hardly a drop of rain fell, according to data available on the Federal Emergency

Management Agency’s website. The other 14 have come throughout the year, with the first in March. No declarations were issued in January, February, May, October or November, according to agency records. Fires have cost the state’s residents millions of dollars this year, with blazes in Goldsby, Midwest City and Harrah destroying homes and forcing people to evacuate. Federal disaster data show that most of the fires declarations were in response to incidents in central Oklahoma. Oklahoma hasn’t had this many fire declarations in at least the past 10 years, records show. There were no fire declarations in 2004, 2007 and 2010.

In 2006, when drought conditions were comparable to this past summer, there were 22. But unlike 2011, which has seen declarations spread throughout the seasons, all but three of the declarations in 2006 came in January. Oklahoma and neighboring Texas, which has had 50 fire declarations this year, have combined for 65 percent of all the fire declarations. Oklahoma’s share is roughly 22 percent, records show. Both Oklahoma and Texas have been dealing with drought conditions for the past year. Federal climatologists described both states as having the most severe forms of drought through most of the summer.

fathers are under the age of 6; 6,932 between 6 and 12 years old; and 4,985 ages 13 to 18. In some cases, the surveyed offender did not report an age for a child or children. Additionally, an estimated 4,624 minor children in Oklahoma have an incarcerated mother, and about 2,430 were living with their mother at the time of her arrest. Tulsa County District Attorney Tim Harris said he is sorry that children are affected by their parents’ crimes, but whether someone is a mother or father doesn’t weigh heavily on him when deciding a punishment or restitution. “I’m not prosecuting you for being a father,” Harris said. “I’m prosecuting you for being a criminal.” The Rev. Stan Basler said he wanted to serve on the task force to help recommend how to provide better outreach for incarcerated fathers and their children. “For years, I’ve felt we should begin to pay attention to the father-child relationship,” Basler said. “There’s been a lot of consciousness and concern for the incarcerated mother and her children, and although that’s important, the fatherhood role is important, too. We’ve largely overlooked that as a community.”

Ragan has told Finley several times that she’s his lifeline. Finley said while in prison, her son has taken college courses and has received his plumber’s license and air conditioning and heating license. “I think he would have been really depressed and wouldn’t have done a lot of things if it hadn’t been for knowing we were right there with him,” Finley said. “They’ve got to have somebody to anchor to and to know somebody cares. They have to have a reason to make their life better and get it back on track.” Ideas for how to improve the father-child bond are among the recommendations that the task force will make to the Oklahoma Legislature. For one, the issue of how incarcerated fathers pay

child support has been discussed. Basler said many incarcerated fathers don’t mention their children because they owe child support and don’t understand how to apply for a reduction in payments while incarcerated. Because of this issue, the task force has on its list of recommendations an informational DVD on child support that would be shown to offenders upon entry. Other recommendations include creating a standardized parenting curriculum and increasing the availability of parenting classes, increasing communication through video technology such as Skype and providing training for police on how to deal with an arrest when a child is present.

LEADERS SAY PAYDAY LOANS PREY ON IMPOVERISHED

Baptist groups vow to battle lenders BY CARLA HINTON Religion Editor chinton@opubco.com

Touting their commitment to help the poor, a group of Baptist clergy pledged Saturday to seek legislation imposing stringent limitations on payday lenders in Oklahoma. Saturday’s announcement came at the culmination of the New Baptist Covenant II regional meeting at St. John Missionary Baptist Church, 5700 N Kelley. The gathering, part of a national effort started several years ago by former President Jimmy Carter, brought together between 200 and 225 representatives from the Progressive Baptist Convention, Mainstream Oklahoma Baptists, National Baptist Convention and the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, among others. Other regional meetings were held in San Antonio, Texas; Washington, D.C., Seattle; Philadelphia; and Los Angeles. The Rev. Bruce Prescott, director of Mainstream Oklahoma Baptists, said the groups met Thursday and Friday for a national simulcast from Atlanta, featuring speakers such as Carter. Then they held breakout sessions to discuss topics of local interest and concern.

High interest rates He said the Baptists gathered for the Oklahoma City regional meeting decided to work together to help curtail payday lending practices that they feel prey upon low income people. Prescott said many Baptist leaders attending the meeting were shocked to learn about the excessively high loan interest rates charged by payday lending institutions. The Rev. Major Jemison is senior pastor of St. John Missionary Baptist Church, which is affiliated with both the Progressive Baptist Convention and National Baptist Convention. He said the Christian

community’s role is to speak up for the impoverished who find themselves in a no-win situation with payday lenders. “It’s a quicksand situation that they find themselves in,” Jemison said.

Less stringent The Rev. Mitch Randall, senior pastor of NorthHaven Church in Norman, shared similar concerns. Randall said he is an American Indian and he is particularly concerned that some tribal governments impose less stringent limitations on payday lending companies. This leniency is immoral, Randall said. “These companies are feeding off the hardship of this economic climate and feeding off the individuals who need our protection the most,” Randall said. Prescott said he’d like to see legislation that limits the amount of interest a lender can charge. He said he would also like state legislators to back a proposal limiting individuals to no more than five payday loans in a year or a limit of only one payday loan at a time. “We are going to do what we can to mobilize support for this,” he said.

Skiatook youth dies in traffic accident FROM STAFF REPORTS

SKIATOOK — A Skiatook youth died early Saturday in a crash a mile west of Skiatook in Osage County, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol reported. About 3:50 a.m., Shakota Ray Nichols, 16, was driving an SUV south on 52nd W Avenue, south of 133rd Street N, when he lost control, troopers said. The SUV veered off the road, hit a pipe fence and

rolled into a tree. Nichols was thrown from the SUV and pinned underneath it when it came to rest on its side, the patrol reported. His three passengers were not hurt. Nichols was not wearing a seat belt, but the others were, troopers said. Trooper Mark Sparks said Nichols’ passengers told him they had gone into Skiatook to buy soda and were returning to a home outside city limits.

STOP IN HARRAH TURNS VIOLENT

Officer shoots armed man

Tommy D. Stevenson BY MICHAEL KIMBALL Staff Writer mkimball@opubco.com

HARRAH — A Harrah police officer shot a man early Saturday suspected of targeting him with a laser-sighted pistol in a confrontation during a traffic stop. The man, identified as Tommy D. Stevenson, 33, of Moore, is expected to survive the shooting, police officer Phil Stewart said. After being treated at a hospital, Stevenson was booked into the Oklahoma County jail on a complaint of shooting with intent to kill a police officer, Stewart said. Stevenson had not been charged Saturday. The officer, whose name was not released Saturday evening, was not hurt. The officer has been placed on routine administrative leave pending the outcome of an investigation. The district attorney will review an investigative report to decide if the shooting was lawful. Harrah police also will conduct an internal investigation to determine if policy was followed.

About the shooting The incident began about 1:30 a.m. when the officer saw a black pickup speed through a stop sign at SE 44 and Harrah Road, Stewart said. The officer pulled the pickup over in a semirural area south of the intersection, Stewart said. The officer said he smelled alcohol on the driver and asked him to step out of the pickup. The man had his hands in his pockets as he got out of the pickup, Stewart said. The officer backed away, ordering the man to pull his hands out of his pockets. When he was about two feet away from the officer, the man pulled out a .380caliber pistol, Stewart said. The officer drew his pistol, spun and ran around the back of the pickup where he tripped, fell and broke his glasses, Stewart said. As the officer scrambled to get up, he saw a laser beam moving around near him. The man stood with his side facing the officer as the officer got up and fired his gun seven times. Stewart said officers don’t know whether the man fired his pistol. One bullet, which apparently ricocheted off the side of the pickup, struck Stevenson between his shoulder blades, Stewart said. Stevenson had tried to get back in the pickup, but he eventually complied with the officer’s order to get on the ground, Stewart said. The officer waited for backup to arrive, and Stevenson was taken to a hospital for treatment and then to jail.

Employees with the Oklahoma City Utilities Department’s Line Maintenance Division are looking for help to spread holiday cheer around their neighborhood. The workers at the Line Maintenance facility at NW 6 and Pennsylvania Avenue aim to hand out 500 turkeys to needy families next month for holiday meals. The workers gave away about 300 turkeys last year in less than two hours. “It’s just a way to give back to our community right here close to our

facility,” said Allen Mc Donald, the line maintenance superintendent. “It’s good for us as well as the citizens.” The Line Maintenance Division is responsible for maintaining and repairing water and sewer lines in the city. Crews are on duty around the clock every day. The employees put door hangers with coupons for the turkeys on houses in neighborhoods near their headquarters, inviting them to the giveaway, McDonald said. This year’s turkey giveaway is from 9 a.m. to noon Dec. 10 for those who have the coupons, and any of the birds that are left

GOP’s U.N. bashing is often applauded BY ANITA SNOW Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS — Bashing the United Nations seldom fails as an applause line for Republican presidential candidates. Mitt Romney says the U.N. too often becomes a forum for tyrants when it should promote democracy and human rights. Newt Gingrich pledges to take on the U.N.’s “absurdities.” Herman Cain says he would change some of its rules. Rick Perry says he would consider pulling the United States out of the U.N. altogether. All that U.N. bashing has raised questions about whether a Republican victory could strain the relationship between the United Nations and its host country, the United States. President Barack Obama’s Democratic administration considers the U.N. critical to the country’s interests, while Republicans traditionally have been disenchanted with the world body. It doesn’t help that U.N. members often criticize American policies, especially as they relate to Israel and the Palestinians. That was reinforced last month when the U.N. cultural agency voted to approve a Palestinian bid for full membership in that body, and the U.S. responded by cutting off funding.

‘Useful’ to the U.S. Yet history shows that any American president learns to get along with the United Nations “simply because there’s a lot of stuff the U.N. does that is useful to the United States,” said David Bosco, who writes the Multilateralist blog for Foreign Policy magazine. Case in point: Even the harshest American critics were silent earlier this month when the U.N.’s nuclear watchdog concluded that Iran was probably developing nuclear arms. Bosco, also an assistant professor at American University’s School of International Service, noted that the Republican administration of George W. Bush supported a major expansion in U.N. peacekeeping despite regular sniping about the world body. But the relationship wasn’t a smooth one. Tensions ran high between the U.S. and the world body during the Bush presidency, especially when outspoken John Bolton was the U.S. ambassador. U.N. officials have declined to comment on the possibility that a Republican win could strain the United Nations’ relationship with the U.S. “The United States is an important state at the United Nations and we would expect that relationship would continue under any administration,” said Martin Nesirky, spokesman for U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.

Upcoming debate The presidential race has been dominated by the economy and other domestic issues, but foreign affairs are taking on greater importance and will be the subject of a debate by the Republican candidates Tuesday, giving them another chance to air their views on the U.N. Cain says he admires Bolton’s foreign policy views, which are highly critical of the United Nations. But the former ambassador to the U.N. said Friday he has not endorsed any of the candidates. One of the loudest U.N. critics among the candidates is Perry. “I think it’s time for us to have a very serious discussion about defunding the United Nations,” he declared in October. Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, said in 2007 that U.N. failures

were “simply astonishing,” but he has been more measured during the current campaign. U.N. supporters say that when the candidates bash the world organization, they are simply playing to the most conservative Republicans: the primary voters and caucus-goers needed early in the electoral contest. “My sense is that if any

of them were to be elected president, they would quickly realize that the U.N. serves American interests,” said Peter Yeo, vice president for public policy of the U.N. Foundation, a nonprofit organization that supports the world body’s work. “They would find a way to constructively work within the U.N. system,” Yeo added.

Detractors say that the candidates are just being truthful.

Bashing or realism? “I wouldn’t call it U.N. bashing; I’d call it U.N. realism,” said Bolton. “I think the issue for the United States is what to do to make the U.N. more effective, and the answer to that has to lie in how it is funded.”

Contributions to the U.N.’s regular budget are assessed on a scale based primarily on a country’s ability to pay. Additional contributions to U.N. entities such as the children’s agency UNICEF are voluntary. The U.S. assessment is the highest — 22 percent of the total U.N. operating budget. By comparison, China pays 3 percent.

In the 2010 budget year, the U.S. provided $7.7 billion to the U.N. for its regular budget, peacekeeping and other programs, up from $6.1 billion the previous year. House Republicans recently introduced legislation to force the U.N. to adopt a voluntary funding system. The administration opposes it and it is unlikely to become law.

Mental illness, drug abuse costs rise

BLUE RIBBON TASK FORCE | DEATH TOLL ALSO HAS INCREASED SINCE INITIAL REPORT SIX YEARS AGO MADE ITS RECOMMENDATIONS BY SONYA COLBERG Staff Writer scolberg@opubco.com

A somber group settled down seven years ago to consider why substance abuse and two hush-hush subjects consume thousands of Oklahomans’ lives and billions of taxpayers’ dollars. Many members of the Oklahoma Governor’s and Attorney General’s Blue Ribbon Task Force had personally seen the tragedies of untreated substance abuse, mental illness and domestic violence. The group of 15 hung on to the hope that, over about a year, they would come up with recommendations to save Oklahoma lives and money. A team of nine researchers — the principal investigator jokingly called his team high-priced accountants on a $200,000 contract — plunked down their shocking research before the Task Force. “It was a crisis then. I’d say it’s a crisis level now,” said state Health Secretary Terry Cline, a task force member. Drug and alcohol abuse, mental illness and domestic violence cost the state $3.4 billion in 2005, the report showed. Today, a conservative cost estimate is about $4.3 billion or about $1,150 per Oklahoman, said Michael Lapolla, principal investigator of the cost study and retired professor of public health at the University of Oklahoma. The death toll has risen since the report was released in February 2005, too. More than 500 Oklahomans died of drug overdoses in 2005. Last year, 715 died, mostly from pharmaceutical drugs rather than street drugs. “There are several areas where we’ve seen a lot of progress. But at the same time I don’t want to mislead anybody. We still have huge gaps in number of people who need services versus the number of people who actually receive them. Those still exist today,” said Terri White, commissioner of the state Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services.

izing in mental health and substance abuse. “We do amazing things with few resources. But we can’t create magic and make sure we can do everything,” White said. “We need additional investment.” The task force recommendations are suggested not just for the department but the entire community, including the private sector, White and Cline said.

Incarceration Those service gaps form a pathway leading to the doorsteps of Oklahoma prisons. The task force found issues related to prisoners with substance abuse and mental illness cost taxpayers more than $1 billion. But six years after the report, the prison system is still Oklahoma’s psychiatric hospital, according to the chief mental health officer with the state Corrections Department, Robert Powitzky. He said the prison system is bulging with even more nonviolent, substance abusers or mentally ill or both. The Corrections Department spends just more than $8 million for prisoners’ mental health services. Psychotropic drug costs, alone, were $763,000 in fiscal year 2011. “We’ve not only grown in the number of offenders with serious mental illness but also the acuity levels.

We’re getting more and more offenders with more serious mental issues. It’s just become a societal phenomenon, really,” Powitzky said. Much like the average nationwide, about 60 percent of locked-up offenders have substance abuse or mental health issues. In Oklahoma, that has an estimated $1 billion price tag. “The problem is we have way too many people in prison that have no business being in prison,” Powitzky said. “In the old days, we used to put people in prison that were criminals.” Lapolla blames much of the problem on the closing of the state’s mental hospitals in the 1970s. He said the move forced by a lawsuit resulted in many people with serious mental issues ending up on the streets rather than in community care systems. Powitzky doesn’t blame anyone and said as much as the available funding

The state has increased the number of drug and mental health courts from a handful in 2005, said White. Seventy-one counties now have drug courts that allow nonviolent felony offenders to go through a court-supervised treatment program instead of prison. The number of people who go through drug court daily has risen to 4,000 from about 1,500 people in 2005. Mental health courts now operate in 14 counties. “While we’ve made good progress, Oklahoma still has a long way to go,” White said. Another key recommendation is to identify more people at risk of developing mental illness and addiction. The recommendation suggests more prevention programs and expanded drug and alcohol services, along with treating the addict’s entire family. Oklahoma’s expanded telemedicine focus grew out of this recommendation. Now, no one lives more than 30 miles away from a telemedicine site for behavioral health, White said. “We are actually a national leader in telemedicine services for behavioral health,” White said. “That’s an amazing thing. But that doesn’t mean everybody gets services. We still only have funds to pay for so many hours of services.” Rural folks with mental health issues can visit with

a psychologist or other specialist at a computer screen at the local health center through telemedicine. There are many sites around the state, including the service provided to rural Oklahoma by nonprofit behavioral health center NorthCare working with Red Rock Behavioral Health Center, said NorthCare chief executive Randy Tate. Generally, the psychologist performs a virtual evaluation and prescribes medications. “It’s absolutely helping,” Tate said. White said community health centers across Oklahoma estimate 100 patients per month per center are getting help with their mental conditions.

More education A couple of other recommendations revolve around education, including aspects of the mental health department’s proposed $92.6 million to fund “Smart on Crime.” The program ranges from educating police in crisis intervention through treatment to keep former offenders with mental or abuse issues from reoffending. Lapolla said the idea seems good because it’s focused. “But ... who the hell would they hire? I wasn’t sure they had the people available to hire to get the work done. You can give someone a trillion dollars but if they can’t do anything with it, what’s the purpose?” Lapolla said. White said it is difficult to attract workers to Oklahoma, particularly psychiatrists, therapists, counselors and nurses special-

The mental health department’s state appropriated budget was $155 million in 2005. It is $183 million for fiscal year 2012. The increase is directly attributable to funded spending increases related to drug court and core community health services, mandated employee cost increases and an increase in provider reimbursement rates, White said. The department has asked for an additional $134 million in fiscal year 2013 which includes $92.6 million to fully fund the department’s Smart on Crime proposal. The task force reported that incarceration costs were significantly more per year than the cost of treatment for mental issues outside the prison. Cline said the costs now are about $20,000 per year per person for incarceration. But treating that person dealing with substance and mental issues outside the prison system costs a comparatively low $5,000 to $7,000 a year. “That really gave us the call to action,” Cline said. “It was a great finding because we had better outcomes and lower costs through treatment.” Former task force researcher and current Oklahoma City University chief of staff Craig Knutson said the task force research showed Oklahoma is spending money in a reactive mode rather than spending dollars wisely in early childhood and other points before the substance abuse or mental illness lands someone in prison. “I think all the research did was help document that,” he said.

Bridge to Life is helping turn around lives BY SONYA COLBERG Staff Writer scolberg@opubco.com

When other little girls were playing house with their dolls, Jill Thompson was sucking down alcohol and marijuana smoke. Her innocence began crumbling away the day the 3 1/2 year-old watched her stepfather beat up her mother and throw her across the room, she said. Her drug use started about age 5, she said. Tasked with baby-sitting the child, her big sister regularly would sedate the little girl by getting her drunk and blowing pot smoke into her face. Drugs and alcohol became the only things Thompson could really depend on by age 8. “I was masking the pain. I wanted to hide from what was being done to me. The physical abuse, the mental abuse,” she said. Thompson’s story represents the mental health, substance abuse and domestic violence that affect thousands of Oklahomans. Now 40 years old, Thompson said she became a domestic violence victim as an adult, used methamphetamine and spent years on and off as a homeless person. But she is now approaching the end of about a yearlong recovery program called Bridge to Life conducted by the City Rescue Mission. About 35 percent of City Rescue Mission clients are experiencing substance abuse or mental illness issues or both, said Tiffany Webb, development director. “Many clients with substance abuse have a history of some sort of trauma. Maybe they were abused as a child, or the parents

weren’t around and they were in foster care,” she said. “Typically it’s a coping mechanism for most of them. They turn to alcohol because they can’t deal with emotionally caused post-traumatic stress syndrome or depression.” The 2005 Governor’s and Attorney General’s Blue Ribbon Task Force on Mental Health, Substance Abuse and Domestic Violence reported that domestic violence costs the state about $244 million. Domestic violence was moved out of the state department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services into the Attorney General’s office with the

release of the report in order to emphasize the criminal nature of domestic violence. Marcia Smith, Oklahoma Coalition Against Domestic Violence executive director, said the state is making strides in addressing domestic vio-

lence but it remains a deadly difficult issue. Last year, Oklahoma had 75 domestic violence deaths and 25,402 reported cases of domestic violence. From 2006 to 2010, 493 people died of domestic violence and there were almost 122,000 reports of

domestic violence across the state, according to Brandi Woods-Littlejohn, program manager of the Attorney General’s Fatality Review Board. Much like Thompson experienced, substance abuse, mental health issues and domestic violence are

often tied together. She said treatment options exist for people dealing with the issues she once fought though not enough people know how to find treatment and many are still caught up by the stigma of those issues. Thompson now works as the laundry supervisor at the mission and soon will graduate from the recovery program. She said the City Rescue Mission has been her lifeline. “I was ugly. But then God gave me peace, and now I wake up every morning with a smile on my face. ... Through the grace of God and this program,” she said.

Mobile behavioral teams are helping children, homeless BY SONYA COLBERG Staff Writer scolberg@opubco.com

Oklahoma’s “hospitals without walls” and a children’s mental health program have been growing throughout the state since a 2005 Blue Ribbon Task Force recommended additional programs in mental illness. The PACT team, or Programs of Assertive Community Treatment team, first formed in 2000. Each is a mobile team of behavioral health professionals providing daily psychiatric and rehabilitative care to

patients with severe mental illnesses. Dr. Gerry Clancy, president of OU Tulsa and Dean of the OU College of Medicine-Tulsa, praised state leaders’ efforts to push for additional mobile psychiatric teams. “Our PACT program in Tulsa at the University of Oklahoma reduces hospitalizations by about 75 percent over a year’s time and has reduced jail time by about 50 percent. When it works, it works great,” Clancy said. Clancy learned these teams work because he led a PACT team in the infancy

of the program in Iowa as a psychiatrist with the University of Iowa. Similar to other PACT programs, the OU program also reduces the cost of service annually by about $15,000 per person, he said. Severity of the patients’ symptoms were cut by 30 percent and their ability to live independently in the community jumped by about 30 percent, he said. And the satisfaction with their services and quality of life improved dramatically, as well. These hospitals without walls resulted in help for

people with things such as getting housing, making doctor appointments, managing medication and applying for services such as food stamps. The team includes a psychiatrist, social workers, licensed professional counselors, case managers and nurses. There are about 20 PACT programs in place, but Clancy said perhaps three times that are needed.

Children’s mental health “Children’s mental health is a huge issue in our state,” said Terri White, commissioner of the state

Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services. The task force also pointed to needs in that area. White said a federal grant helped Oklahoma get “systems of care” off the ground in the early 2000s. It’s an evidencebased best practice of how to reach children through experts such as nurses, psychologists and social workers who work together for the good of the child and family in an outpatient setting. The federal grants required state matching money. White said even

through budget cuts, legislators have provided funding to get more sites across the state. The program is credited with reducing children’s self-injuring by 39 percent, school suspensions by 30 percent and brushes with the law by 47 percent. “We have made huge steps,” White said. More than 50 counties across the state have these sites, she said. “It saves money, and it’s better care for the person at the same time,” Clancy said of both health models. “They’re great models of care.”

In about 70 years, there may be no place hospitable to frogs, salamanders and other amphibians, according to a new study in the journal Nature. AP PHOTO

Study says frogs facing grim future BY SETH BORENSTEIN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Frogs, salamanders and other amphibians may eventually have no haven left on the globe because of a triple threat of worsening scourges, a new study predicts. Scientists have long known that amphibians are under attack from a killer fungus, climate change and shrinking habitat. In the study appearing online Wednesday in the journal Nature, computer models project that in about 70 years those three threats will spread, leaving no part of the world immune from one of the problems. Frogs seem to have the most worrisome outlook, said study lead author Christian Hof of the Biodiversity and Climate Research Center in Frankfurt. Meanwhile, federal scientists in the United States are meeting in St. Louis this week to monitor the situation and figure out how to reverse it. Several important U.S. amphibian species — boreal toads in the Rocky Mountains and the mountain yellow legged frog in the Sierra Nevada Mountains — are shrinking in numbers, said zoologist Steve Corn, who is part of the U.S. Geological Survey’s Amphibian Research and Monitoring Initiative. The western U.S. has the

problem worse than the East. About one-third of the world’s amphibian species are known to be threatened with extinction, and 159 species already have disappeared, a 2008 international study found. “It’s no fun being a frog,” said prominent biodiversity conservationist Stuart Pimm of Duke University, who wasn’t part of Hof’s study or the USGS effort. “They are getting it from all three different factors.” Hof’s study was the first to look at projections of the three threats by geography and see if they overlap. While they overlap some, it’s not nearly as much as expected. The wide distribution of threats leaves no refuge for amphibians. The strongest threats seem to be where the most species of amphibians live, concentrating the potential loss of diversity, said Hof and Ross Alford, an amphibian expert at James Cook University in Australia, who wasn’t part of the research. The biggest threats are seen, mostly from climate change, to frogs and other amphibians in tropical Africa, northern South American and the Andes Mountains, areas which Hof calls “climate losers.” In the northern Andes, which have the most number of frog species in the world, more than 160 frog species are at risk, he said.

Use of pepper spray prompts investigation BY SUDHIN THANAWALA Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — The chancellor of the University of California, Davis said Saturday that the school was launching an investigation after “chilling” video images surfaced online showing an officer using pepper spray on protesters as they sit passively with their arms interlocked. “The use of the pepper spray as shown on the video is chilling to us all and raises many questions

about how best to handle situations like this,” Chancellor Linda Katehi said on the school’s website. Katehi said she is forming a task force to review the events surrounding the Friday protest and the police response. In the video, posted on YouTube, the officer displays a bottle before spraying its contents on the seated protesters in a sweeping motion. Most of the protesters have their heads down, but at least one is hit in the face.

Some members of a crowd gathered at the scene scream and cry out. The crowd then chants, “Shame on you,” as the protesters on the ground are removed. The officers retreat minutes later with helmets on and batons drawn as the crowd chants, “You can go.” Annette Spicuzza, UC Davis police chief, said police used the pepper spray after being surrounded. Protesters were warned that force would be used if they didn’t move.

MIAMI, Fla. — Mo Tarafa stood before students at a small, outdoor concrete auditorium at Florida International University and called for volunteers to sit in the 10 chairs before her. Each chair, she said, represented 10 percent of the wealth in the U.S. and 10 percent of the population. The students took their places. Then Tarafa asked nine to squeeze together into five of the chairs. This, she said, was the distribution of wealth in 1996. Next she asked nine students to fit into three of the chairs. This, she said, is the distribution of wealth today. “How are you all feeling right now?” she said. “Uncomfortable,” said one of the students piled up on one another. The exercise was part of a teach-in that took place recently at FIU and dozens of other campuses across the country in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street. As the protests have grown to cities across the United States, they’ve also taken root at the nation’s universities, where students have staged rallies and walkouts from classes. On Thursday, students

Death of Natalie Wood reexamined BY ANTHONY MCCARTNEY AP Entertainment Writer

LOS ANGELES — Natalie Wood’s drowning death nearly 30 years ago came after a night of dinner, drinking and arguments but the question remains — was it anything more than a tragic accident? Conflicting versions of what happened on the yacht shared by Wood, her actor-husband Robert Wagner and their friend, actor Christopher Walken, have contributed to the mystery of how the actress died on Thanksgiving weekend in 1981. Two sheriff’s detectives are now diving into the mysterious events on the yacht Splendour, although whether they reach any different conclusions than their predecessors remains

to be seen. They recently received new, seemingly credible information and heard from potential witnesses who weren’t included in the original investigation of Wood’s death, sheriff’s Lt. John Corina said Friday.

Ruled as accidental But he said nothing has happened to change the official view that Wood’s death was originally an accidental drowning. Wagner, the star of “Hart to Hart” is not considered a suspect, he added. Corina released few details about who investigators have contacted or plan to re-interview, but the inquiry will certainly lead them to speak with the three survivors of the trip — Wagner, Walken and skipper Dennis Davern. Wood’s sister, Lana, was

not on the boat, but told CNN’s Piers Morgan on Friday that she has spoken with Davern many times and believes her sister did not fall off the boat. “I don’t think she fell, I don’t know if she was pushed, I don’t know whether there was an altercation and it happened accidentally but she shouldn’t have died and that does stay with me and hurt,” Lana Wood said. The captain said on NBC’s “Today” on Friday that Wagner is to blame for the Oscar-nominated actress’ death in the chilly waters of Southern California in November 1981, but didn’t offer many specifics. The renewed investigation comes at a time when plenty of attention was sure to be focused on Wood, whose beauty and

Chevron wasn’t ready Filipinos for leak, official says fingerprint ex-leader BY STAN LEHMAN Associated Press

SAO PAULO, Brazil — U.S.-

based Chevron Corp. was not prepared for the oil leak at one of its wells, the head of environmental affairs for Brazil’s federal police said Saturday Fabio Scliar said Chevron personnel at the well told his investigators that they were “completely unprepared to handle an emergency such as this.” He said Chevron was alerted to the spill on Nov. 7 by Brazil’s state-run oil

company Petrobras. Ibama, Brazil’s environmental protection agency, said on Friday that nearly 110,000 gallons of oil may have spilled into the Atlantic Ocean. Chevron had earlier said that the spill totaled between 16,800 and 27,300 gallons. Chevron said it was working to plug the seep and has sent 18 ships to monitor and clean it up. Scliar said Chevron had to borrow sonar equipment from Petrobras to determine the exact spot of the leak.

Pope outlines new concept for church’s role in Africa BY RUKMINI CALLIMACHI Associated Press

OUIDAH, Benin — In a basilica built in the heartland of Africa’s Voodoo religion, Pope Benedict XVI on Saturday unveiled a treatise outlining the role of the Roman Catholic Church on the continent. Among the messages contained in the pope’s road map for Africa is an

attempt to show how Catholicism has evolved from the rigid religion missionaries first brought to Ouidah, considered the cradle of Voodoo, a state religion in Benin. The pope is proposing a reconciliation that draws on the church’s doctrine of forgiveness to stem the cycle of retribution at the core of many of the region’s recent conflicts.

MANILA, Philippines — Police fingerprinted and photographed former Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo on her hospital bed Saturday over electoral fraud charges her lawyer says were brought with “indecent haste.” But President Benigno Aquino III said Arroyo will have a chance to defend herself in court, as is the right of every Filipino, no matter his or her status. Arroyo wore a hospital gown and neck brace while sitting on her bed as the police photographer snapped pictures and a technician held her name plate, Police Senior Supt. Joel Coronel said earlier Saturday. He supervised the activity, and members of Arroyo’s family, her friends, lawyers and doctors were around. Arroyo, 64, is the second ex-Philippine president to face trial. She denies wrongdoing and says she is being prevented from getting medical treatment overseas for a bone ailment.

WASHINGTON BRIEFS

Oklahoma delegation supports guns bill

Lankford seeking public disclosure on grants

WASHINGTON — All five U.S. House members from Oklahoma voted last week for a bill that would allow people to carry concealed weapons in most states if they have a permit to do so in their own state. The bill, a top priority of the National Rifle Association, passed 272 to 154 and now goes to the Senate. In debate on the Rep. Dan Boren House floor, Rep. Dan Boren, D-Muskogee, said, “Just as one state recognizes a driver’s license issued by another state, I believe states should recognize conceal-and-carry licenses issued by another.” Some states already have reciprocity agreements to recognize out-of-state permits, but others don’t, said Boren, a member of the NRA board of directors. “The result is a piecemeal system where a law-abiding citizen may be required to give up his or her weapon at a state line.” Under the bill, states could continue to have their own licensing systems, and federal standards would not be created. Only Illinois and the District of Columbia do not allow people to carry concealed weapons, and permits from other states would not be valid there. Also, states’ individual prohibitions on where concealed weapons could be carried would apply to all permit holders. Opponents argued that the bill would undermine the strong standards some states have for issuing permits. Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, D-New York, said, “My state has concealed weapons laws … but there are other states that do not come up to our standard, and we don’t want them coming into our state and telling us what to do.” But Rep. Tom Cole, R-Moore, said, “This legislation will help ensure that Americans’ Second Amendment rights are respected across state lines.”

WASHINGTON — Five years ago, Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Muskogee, with help from thenSen. Barack Obama, pushed a bill through Congress requiring all federal spending information to be posted online. That online database, usaspending.gov, allows people to get basic information about federal contracts, grants and other payments. Now, Rep. James Rep. James Lankford, R-Oklahoma Lankford City, has introduced a bill that would require federal agencies to post information on a website about how grant applications are evaluated and awarded. “Federal agencies award more than $50 billion annually in discretionary and competitive grants, but have little to no standards for disclosing the process of awarding these taxpayer dollars,” Lankford said. “The current process lacks transparency and makes it difficult for grant applicants to navigate the system or for lawmakers to hold agencies accountable for the distribution of taxpayer dollars.” Lankford said the bill would also require agencies to screen applicants to make sure they’re capable of performing the grant and have the financial controls to protect taxpayer money.

Inhofe’s bill for pilots hits co-sponsor milestone WASHINGTON — Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Tulsa, celebrated his 77th birthday last week with a legislative milestone: He now has 60 co-sponsors of his legislation called the Pilot’s Bill of Rights. The bill — which would change a number of procedures in regard to Federal Aviation Administration disciplinary actions against pilots and includes changes to the FAA’s medical certification process — can now pass the Senate and withstand a presidential veto, according to Inhofe’s office. Inhofe, a general aviation pilot, got the endorsement last month of actor Harrison Ford, who is also a pilot. “We are seeking to give pilots access to evidence that is being used against them while ending the guilty-until-proveninnocent approach that the FAA has taken, improve the Notice To Airmen (NOTAM) system, and correct problems with the pilot medical certification process,” Inhofe said.

Egyptian police clash with protesters BY AYA BATRAWY Associated Press

CAIRO — Egyptian riot

police firing tear gas and rubber bullets stormed into Cairo’s Tahrir Square Saturday to dismantle a protest tent camp, setting off clashes that killed one protester, injured hundreds and raised tensions days before the first elections since Hosni Mubarak’s ouster. The scenes of protesters fighting with black-clad police forces were reminiscent of the 18-day uprising that forced an end to Mubarak’s rule in Febru-

Violence breeds violence. We are tired of this and we are not leaving the square.” SAHAR ABDEL-MOHSEN

ary. Hundreds of protesters fought back, hurling stones and setting an armored police vehicle ablaze. The violence raised fears of new unrest surrounding the parliamentary elections that are due to begin on Nov. 28. Public anger has risen over the slow pace of reforms and appar-

ent attempts by Egypt’s ruling generals to retain power over a future civilian government. Witnesses said the clashes began when riot police dismantled a small tent camp set up to commemorate protesters killed in the uprising and attacked around 200 peaceful demonstrators who had

camped in the square overnight. “Violence breeds violence,” said Sahar AbdelMohsen, an engineer who joined in the protest after a call went out on Twitter urging people to come to Tahrir to defend against the police attacks. “We are tired of this and we are not leaving the square.” Police fired rubber bullets and tear gas, and beat protesters with batons, clearing the square at one point. A 23-year-old protester died from a gunshot, said Health Ministry official Mohammed el-Sherbeni.

At least 676 people were injured, he said. Abdel-Mohsen said a friend was wounded by a rubber bullet that struck his head and that she saw another protester wounded by a pellet in his neck. Crowds swarmed an armored police truck, rocking it back and forth and setting it ablaze. Black smoke rose over the crowd. After nightfall, protesters swarmed back into the square in the thousands, setting tires ablaze in the street and filling the area with an acrid, black smoke screen. Police appeared to retreat to surrounding ar-

eas, leaving protesters free to retake and barricade themselves inside the square. The air was still thick with stinging tear gas. Shortly before midnight, police pushed back toward the square, firing more tear gas and drawing a barrage of stones from the protesters. Prime Minister Essam Sharaf urged the protesters to clear the square. “What is happening in Tahrir is very dangerous and threatens the course of the nation and the revolution,” the Cabinet warned in a statement.

ZINTAN, Libya — Moammar Gadhafi’s former heir apparent Seif al-Islam was captured by revolutionary fighters in the southern desert Saturday just over a month after his father was killed, setting off joyous celebrations across Libya and closing the door on the possibility that the fugitive son could stoke further insurrection. Seif al-Islam — who has undergone a transformation from a voice of reform in an eccentric and reviled regime to one of Interpol’s most-wanted — now faces the prospect of trial before an international or Libyan court to answer for the alleged crimes of his late father’s four-decade rule over the oil-rich North African nation.

The nonbinding resolution issued at the end of a Loya Jirga assembly also suggested some conditions for the talks between Afghan and American officials, including an end to unpopular night raids by military forces searching for insurgents. The more than 2,000 people who attended asked Karzai to ensure the

United States hands over all detainees to Afghan custody and limits any agreement to 10 years. They also said it must be approved by parliament. “We will act on the basis of your consultation,” Karzai told the delegates. “I am very happy that you have accepted it and have put lots of conditions on it. I accept this resolution. It is the instruction to the Afghan government from the Afghan people.”

Family: Loss of sons hurts, but they still give thanks FROM PAGE 1A

when he says, “I’m thankful that I’ve got my wife and two girls. I could have lost them all that day.” In almost a whisper, Catherine, rocking Hannah and with Cathleen snuggling against her left arm, says, “Yes, that’s true.” The Hamils hurt deeply with the death of their sons, who were buried side by side June 4 next to St. Damien Catholic Church. But they say that because of their faith, they focus on more than just their loss. Even though their lives were short, the children had a purpose, the parents said. “We just don’t know what the full purpose was,” Catherine said. “Except people reminded me after they died how it really brought a lot of people together and a lot of people prayed, that don’t all the time.” Hank, now the one straining for a voice, softly looks toward his wife and says, “They’re little saints now.”

The memories Time after time Catherine would glance over to the coffee table in the living room. Ryan would be assembling his toy cattle pens inside which he placed the cows and the horses. Not far outside the gate the green John Deere tractors and the silver Gleaner combines were busy in the fields of the child’s imagination. Some days, when Cathleen was in school, Catherine and the boys would be driving to town and she would say, “Look Ryan cows!” Then he would moo loudly. On rare occasions, the Hamils would get put Ryan up in a combine with his father. Hank would seat belt the child in on the buddy seat. Most of the time, Ryan would end up falling asleep. Catherine recalls how Cole loved sliding his tiny hand through the bed of a toy pickup up to the cab so he could drive it around on the hardwood floor. “I would watch him,” Catherine said. “It was so cute.”

Every day Their memories of Ryan and Cole haven’t faded in the least. Neither parent would want them to. With that love, comes pain — not only every now and then, but every day. How do you handle that? “Our faith,” Catherine said. “And Cathleen helps a lot. If she catches me sad, she’ll ask me why I’m sad and I’ll tell her ‘I miss Ryan and Cole.’ “She’ll say ‘Well why are you sad, they wouldn’t want you to be sad. Remember your heart should be happy, they’re with Jesus.’ She makes a big difference.” The family moved into a house in Cashion that belonged to Hank’s late grandfather. Eventually, Hank had to return to work, catching up with harvest in the northern states. “You just think about some little things the kids would do and it kind of hits you,” he said. “You tear up for a little bit, but our faith has really helped a lot.

MUSKOGEE — When Temple Beth Ahaba synagogue closed last summer after a century of serving the Muskogee Jewish community, Miriam Freedman saw a big part of her heritage disappear. She was born into the Beth Ahaba congregation in 1925 and had been there for much of her life. So she took particular pleasure last week watching schoolchildren sing and pray at the Sherwin Miller Museum of Jewish Art in Tulsa, sitting on the same sturdy wooden pews that she had occupied for decades at the Muskogee synagogue. “I love seeing it. It was my idea,” she said. Freedman said she realized over the last several years, as the membership of Muskogee’s last synagogue dwindled to four or five older couples, that the end of the congregation was near. She contacted the Sherwin Miller museum with an idea: Would the museum be interested in preserving some of the artifacts from the synagogue when it closed?

Ex-burglar may lose U.S. as home BY GINNIE GRAHAM Tulsa World ginnie.graham@tulsaworld.com

Jorge “George” Aguilar, in the U.S. legally since he was 10, now faces deportation.

TULSA — Jorge “George” Aguilar has been granted mercy by the church he once pleaded guilty to burglarizing. From the moment he entered the judicial system seven years ago at age 20, he turned to the First Baptist Church of Broken Arrow to mend his life and spirit. What Aguilar didn’t understand was how differently the federal immigration service views guilty pleas. And the dire consequences. “He is the epitome of the American story,” said senior pastor Nick

Garland. “He came to this country with virtually nothing, was raised with virtually nothing, made some bad decisions but got his life on track. He would be an inspiration to people, if he could tell them his story.”

‘You have to forgive’ Aguilar arrived in the U.S. legally from El Salvador at age 10 with his mother. In 2003, he and two friends were arrested in burglaries at three Broken Arrow Baptist churches, including First Baptist, taking mostly electronics. Caught within a month, Aguilar in 2004 pleaded guilty to two felo-

ny second-degree burglary charges and received a deferred sentence. If he stayed out of trouble for five years, the charge would be expunged. It sparked a change, beginning with attending services at First Baptist. Aguilar became a regular at services, attended Bible studies and helped with odd jobs. He became a volunteer helping immigrants learn English and translate documents. He obtained his GED and worked steadily at a flooring business. “I saw Jesus Christ change this SEE HOME, PAGE 26A

AT A GLANCE

Padilla v. Kentucky The Supreme Court decision in March 2010 requires criminal defense attorneys to tell immigrant clients about the deportation risks of a guilty plea. Attorneys must warn noncitizen clients about deportation, they cannot remain silent on the issue. In cases where the law is certain, counsel must tell clients deportation will be the result. In situations where the law is unclear, then attorneys must advise immigrants deportation may result. I Background: Jose Padilla, a legal immigrant of the U.S. for 40 years and Vietnam War veteran, was arrested in 2001 in Kentucky for transporting 1,000 pounds of marijuana. The Honduras native pleaded guilty to a felony charge of trafficking and received a five-year sentence. His defense attorney told him he “did not have to worry” about the conviction impacting his immigration status, according to court filings. The advice was wrong because nearly all drug convictions result in deportation. In 2004, Padilla filed for post-conviction relief, arguing he received ineffective counsel. He won his case in the Kentucky Appellate Court but the Kentucky Supreme Court reversed the decision. I Supreme Court vote: In a 7-2 decision, the court expanded on its previous decisions on Sixth Amendment rights. Justice John Paul Stevens wrote for the majority, equating deportation to punishments of banishment and exile: “It is our responsibility under the Constitution to ensure that no criminal defendant — whether a citizen or not — is left to the mercies of incompetent counsel.” While agreeing with the majority, Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. and Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., tempered their opinions stating defense attorneys should not give any false advice and suggest a consultation with an immigration attorney. Dissenting were justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas. I Pending: Whether the ruling can be applied to cases in which plea bargains were struck before the decision was handed down.

young man,” Garland said. “This was a life-changing commitment, and it was a beautiful process for him.” When Garland presented Aguilar to the church as a saved member, the congregation swarmed him in congratulation. “The church absolutely fell in love with him,” Garland said. “We all have things we wish we could start over and erase. To be forgiven, you have to forgive. Truly, we have been forgiven by the grace of God. For George to come to us and say, ‘I want my life to have value and meaning,’ that is remarkable.” Aguilar met a girl, fell in love and was studying to become a pastor or youth minister.

Straight and narrow Aguilar kept his end of the plea agreement with the state by paying off fines and restitution, doing his community service and staying on the straight and narrow. But U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement doesn’t recognize deferred sentences and expungements. That state guilty plea meant Aguilar can have his legal residency stripped, be deported and banished from the U.S. Aguilar’s ICE case began in 2009 when he received a notice to appear in immigration court for possible deportation. The prosecutor exercised discretion and terminated the case in March 2010. Aguilar returned to Tulsa, believing his immigration woes were over, said David Sobel, his immigration attorney. But a new prosecutor reversed that decision a month later. On Valentine’s Day, an immigration court judge ordered Aguilar’s expulsion, Sobel said. He was put in Tulsa jail. Sobel’s motion to change his plea was denied but is being appealed.

‘No idea’ “He had no idea this could happen or he would have never made that plea bargain,” Sobel said. “Unfortunately, he was never advised by his attorney of the possible immigration consequences.” A Supreme Court decision last year — Padilla v. Kentucky — would have helped Aguilar. The ruling requires criminal defense attorneys to tell their immigrant clients of the de-

portation risks involved in making a guilty plea. Left unanswered is whether the decision is to be applied retroactively, referring to noncitizens facing deportation in plea bargains made before the high court’s ruling. This is Aguilar’s situation. “I respect and understand the law and regulations,” Sobel said. “However, I wish that the law were different and not penalize those that have paid their punishment to society.”

‘It’s faceless’ The Tulsa jail was Aguilar’s home for about nine months as his attorney searched for a solution. Automatic stays from removal while appeals are pending are not available to noncitizens. In jail, Aguilar led a Bible study and helped immigrants with translations. He saw his girlfriend twice a week and the other visitation day was used to see friends from church and family members, who are legal residents. “He sees a purpose in him being there,” said Kara Culp, his girlfriend. “He hopes somehow, someday, his case will change some policies for the rest of the immigrants here.” For his friends, they simply want ICE to take into consideration Aguilar’s life after his plea. “What is frustrating about this is that it’s faceless,” Garland said. “It’s not like they are looking for an exception. I feel like George is just a piece of paper on someone’s desk. There is nowhere to go and look at a judge and say, ‘This is a nice, young man with a promising future.’ ”

‘Not his home’ At 3 a.m. Monday, ICE officers put Aguilar on a bus for Texas and immediate deportation. No one but ICE knew the transfer would happen then. Sobel was denied an emergency stay Wednesday by the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals to keep him in the U.S. until all legal remedies are exhausted. Aguilar could be removed at any moment. Once Aguilar is dropped off in El Salvador, he goes to a country where he has no family or ties. “America has been his home for all these years,” Garland said. “He was a boy when he left there. It is not his home.”

Courts require defendants know risk of deportation BY GINNIE GRAHAM Tulsa World ginnie.graham@tulsaworld.com

The routine of plea bargaining in criminal cases has been altered by a U.S. Supreme Court decision last year requiring more information be provided to noncitizens. In Padilla v. Kentucky, justices ordered criminal defense attorneys to tell their immigrant clients of the deportation risks involved in making a guilty plea. “It’s not only an ethical question, but a flat-out malpractice question,” said Tulsa immigration attorney David Sobel. “These are legal residents we are talking about.” The largest hanging question is whether this ruling is to be applied to cases before the opinion came down. The Third U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals made a ruling in June in favor of retroactivity, following a similar decision in the Ninth Circuit in March. However, in August the

Seventh and Tenth circuits decided against it. The Tenth Circuit includes Oklahoma. Across the country, varying decisions are occurring in lower courts. Several filings in Oklahoma courts using the Padilla decision in asking for post-conviction relief have resulted in denials, with citations to the Tenth Circuit and an unpublished opinion out of the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals.

More cases pending At least one case is pending before the U.S. Supreme Court asking to clear up the retroactivity question. “Even though the decision may not be retroactive to the 2010 date, it applies forward,” said Oklahoma City immigration attorney Doug Stump. “Any criminal defense attorney who fails to advise on immigration consequences is committing malpractice and the foreign national is in a position for the conviction to be set aside.

“Padilla has already had a positive impact to ensure foreign nationals are fully advised of their guilty pleas.” Stump, second vice president of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, said the ruling puts an obligation on judges and prosecutors as well. “The criminal defense bar has jumped out in front of this and have been very effective in making sure justice is done,” Stump said. “No one can accuse the criminal defense bar of anything other than being truly diligent. And judges are extraordinarily careful, most of the time, in determining that defendants are fully aware of the plea decisions they are agreeing to.”

Understanding risks Tulsa Judge Kurt Glassco now asks every possible noncitizen appearing before him on a plea agreement if they understand the potential immigration consequences. “It has changed things,” Glassco said. “What I say

is that I don’t know what your status is here in the United States, but this plea may have an adverse effect on that status, and it may lead to deportation. It’s not up to me, and I have no control over it.” Immigration attorneys said the standard for deportation is a moving target. “Immigration laws are constantly changing,” Stump said. “What might not be a deportable offense today may not be the case a year from now. There is a large class of crimes where we are seeing that.” Stump said he does not anticipate a change in the number of people entering into plea agreements. “You may see a slight drop in the number of foreign nationals entering guilty pleas,” Stump said. “But overall, as with any poverty-stricken defendant, taking a case to trial is too expensive. There are innocent people who take a guilty plea because of the cost and risk of a higher punishment in going to trial.”

who focus solely on adoption, Powell said. The unit was created by DHS Director Howard Hendrick soon after he took his post in 1998. Before the adoption unit, child welfare workers focused on everything from abuse claims to foster care to adoption, Powell said. “Adoption cases weren’t a fire,” she said. “They got pushed to the back burner when you had to investigate (abuse) cases.” Now adoptions are separated from the rest of child welfare, so caseworkers can focus exclusively on matching children with families, Powell said. That’s the primary reason adoption rates are increasing, she said. Adoption rates have gone up every year except for one since 2002, when 995 Oklahoma children were adopted. Last fiscal year, 1,628 children were adopted, according to the U.S. Health and Human Services Department report. The end result, Powell

By October, the Beth Ahaba items were in place in the museum, and the children from the Mizel Jewish Community Day School, located in the same complex at 2021 E 71st St., were using the replica synagogue for their Tuesday and Thursday worship services. “That really brings it to life,” said Arthur Feldman, director of the museum. “It’s real. ...

Robert Allen Rowe January 24, 1964 - November 12, 2011

DALLAS, TX Robert Allen Rowe passed away early Saturday morning, November 12, 2011, at his home in Dallas, Texas, following a brief illness. He was a devoted husband, loving son, giving brother, caring uncle, mentor and great friend to many. Rob was born in Glendale, Arizona, January 24, 1964. He graduated from Oklahoma State University, applying his degrees in accounting and finance to the technology field, beginning his career at Texas Instruments in Dallas. Rob will be best remembered for his many entrepreneurial successes in the high tech industry. He was the youngest partner at BR Blackmarr and Associates and helped lead the partnership through their 1998 public offering on NASDAQ. He co-founded Commerce Catalyst, a technology incubator, and Fusion Laboratories, Inc., one of the premier software development companies in the United States. He was recently named CEO of Fusion Labs and led their Software Products Division to be nationally recognized as the foremost provider of technology development solutions, for clients such as: Blackbaud, Cash America, Neiman Marcus, BMC Software, and most recently Google, Inc. Rob was an accomplished software architect, water skier, botanist, and carpenter. Ever the environmentalist, he spent endless hours researching and planning wind/solar generation systems that he had planned for his beloved Lake Eufaula. He found solace and peace in his many treks through the Texas Hill Country, photographing wild flowers on the Blue Bonnet Trail with his family and favorite companion, Sandy. Rob took in all life had to offer; he traveled the globe, dove on ancient sunken ship wrecks, dined with dignitaries, and presented to large audiences gathered to hear his latest thoughts on the state of his industry. He dared the adventurous and survived one close call after another with his trusty mate, Kendall, in their many trips through the tropical jungles and island seas of the Caribbean. Rob was compelled to look out for those in need, and he was always there with a kind word and a helping hand. He enriched the lives of all who knew him. Above all else, Rob lived one great life, and many of us were fortunate enough to be written in his story. He is survived by his loving wife, Kendall; father, Jim Rowe of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; mother, Bonnie Rowe of Prescott Valley, Arizona; brother, John and wife Tiffany; sister, Kristy; his local parents, Arlene and Jon Jolly of Dallas; brotherin-law, J.W. Jolly and wife Shelley; nieces, Jocelyn, Lauren and Nicole; nephew, Stevie; uncles, Phil and Scott; and aunts, Helen, Berta, Susie and Maggie. The family will announce plans for a celebration of his life in the coming days. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to your favorite charity.

Fred Allen Baker August 8, 1940 - November 17, 2011

OKLAHOMA CITY Fred Allen Baker, lifetime resident of Oklahoma City, Husband of Darlene Baker and Father of Jewlly Nicole Baker, owner of Outdoor America Store, born on August 8, 1940, entered the Kindgom of Heaven on November 17, 2011 after a long-term battle with pulmonary disease, COPD. He strongly advocated nonsmoking, which is the leading cause of COPD. Fred quit smoking 12 years ago and fought a brave, hard and long battle to survive. He was surrounded with those closest to him and went in painless sleep after a brief stay at Windsor Hills Nursing Home and with Centennial Hospice's helping hands. In addition to Darlene and Jewlly, Fred is survived by his sister, Nadine (Mac) Gatlin of Lawton; and uncle, Marvin Baker, Oklahoma City; and many extended family members, employees and friends. One brother, George Reed, preceded Fred in death, along with his parents, Orval H. and Jewel Baker. Fred was born at St. Anthony's Hospital in Oklahoma City and attended Hawthorne Elementary, Taft Jr. High and graduated from the original Northwest Classen High School in 1959. Fred was always a hard worker and took joy in telling about his first job delivering prescriptions on his bicycle for Stewarts Pharmacy. Fred also served in the U.S. Army National Guard for six years, a proud accomplishment as he was totally flat footed and lucky to serve in any capacity. Fred also managed to squeak in some college courses and landed a job with Western Electric (later Lucent Technologies), where he retired after twenty years of service. During this time he also started Fred Baker's Western Archery and Gun in the early 1970s, located at the corner of N.W. 23 and MacArthur Blvd., where he established the first "free interest sale" for any sporting goods shop in Oklahoma City, which resulted in the store having shoppers lined up from his front door all the way to Big Ed's Hamburgers at the end of the strip mall. Darlene would run the shop during the daytime while Fred slept in the back on a cot for her safety so he could work nights until his full retirement from Lucent. In 1987 Fred was able to purchase his own building at the current location, 1925 N. MacArthur Blvd., and the name was changed to F.B.F., Inc. (Fred Baker Firearms) Outdoor America Store and is still being run by Darlene Baker and family members, Mardi Ruegge, Esta Schmidt and a panel of business advisors. Fred has earned many titles and has served the Oklahoma City area in many capacities. He was in the first Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Reserve program during J.D. Sharp’s administration, a Lifetime Member of the NRA, Lifetime Hunting and Fishing license holder since 1973, an avid supporter of the Heartland Chapter of the Friends of the NRA and has a special award named in his honor, the "Fred Baker Achievement Award," that is annually bestowed on another contributor. Fred was the first one to receive this award for his 2010 participation. Fred was an avid hunter in his younger days and loved to fish, boat, camp and has been able to enjoy many exciting adventures in the outdoors. Fred's most recent sporting love was his participation in the Buick Grand Nationals, where he excelled and enjoyed up until illness struck his ability to race and care for his collection of automobiles. Fred's first love was always his family and close friends. A Celebration of his Life will be held on Monday, November 21, 2011, at the Resthaven Funeral Home Chapel, at 2 p.m., with Interment immediately following in the Resthaven Memory Gardens. Viewing will be available, between noon and 8 p.m., on Sunday, November 20th. A family gathering will be enjoyed afterward at the Resthaven Family Center. Larry Koonce, longtime family friend, will be the officiating speaker. Donations are requested, in lieu of flowers, to OCSO Reserve Association, 201 N. Shartel Ave., Oklahoma City, OK 73102, Attn: Ricky Barrow; OR Heartland Friends of the NRA, 2415 S.E. 56th, Oklahoma City, OK 73129, Attn: Gale Bussell; or a charity of your choice, in memory of Fred Baker. Darlene, Jewlly and family extend their deepest appreciation to all the Customers who have made the business the great success it is and look forwarding to continuing service of your sporting goods and law enforcement needs.

contest benefits charities Here’s a chance to win $2,000 for your favorite charity. Leadership Oklahoma is inviting businesses, civic and community leaders and even students across the state to create videos, photos or essays that illustrate how a charitable organization is making Oklahoma a better place. The contest is part of Leadership Oklahoma’s yearlong commemoration of its silver anniversary that began in September, but the deadline to enter is Dec. 2. The organization, which identifies leaders in the state and works to challenge and teach them about issues that affect or have potential benefit to Oklahoma, is reaching out to all Oklahomans to encourage them to join in serving their communities and effect positive change in the state. “We are sponsoring the Helping Oklahoma contest to recognize and honor those who are dedicating their time to Oklahoma organizations that make a difference in their communities,” said CEO Ann Ackerman. “It is our hope that this contest and the posts on its website will inspire the people of Oklahoma to find more ways to serve, build, and lead our state. It is our way of saying thanks for 25 years of service and leadership,” she said. Entries will be judged in two categories — youth and general public — and must be posted at www.helpingokla homa.com. Contest rules are also on the website. Winners will be notified via email or telephone on or around Dec. 9. The winner in each category will receive $2,000. It’ll be a nice Christmas present for some worthy organization that’s doing noble work to enhance life in Oklahoma.

National Labor Relations Board is rushing to approve new rules before the end of the year that would make it easier for unions to organize new members. The board plans to take a public vote Nov. 30, where its Democratic majority is expected to approve a plan that would dramatically shorten the time frame for union elections. Business groups have denounced the move, saying the new rules would allow ambush elections that don’t give companies enough time to counter organizing drives. The board is moving quickly because it is losing one of its three members at the end of the year. The remaining two members could not legally issue decisions or make rules. Republicans have been preventing President Barack Obama from filling the post with a recess appointment.

EMPLOYMENT | SKILLED WORKERS ARE RETIRING AS MORE JOBS ARE BEING ADDED BY PAULA BURKES Business Writer pburkes@opubco.com

As business in Oklahoma City’s aerospace industry soars, the market’s profound deficit in aircraft maintenance technicians is plummeting deeper. Annapolis, Md.-based ARINC, which repairs U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy and foreign aircraft, in July opened a second hangar east of Will Rogers World Airport to meet growing work demands, while Illinois-based AAR Aircraft Services, at its neighboring hangars on south Meridian, is picking up new maintenance lines for feeder airlines to Delta Air Lines. ARINC since February has jumped from six maintenance technicians to 120 and currently has five additional openings, senior director Ray Ord said last week. Meanwhile, AAR, which employs 331 handson workers on Alaska, Allegiant and now Pinnacle/ Mesaba aircraft — has 143 openings, or some 43 more than this time last year, namely for sheet metal technicians and airframe and power plant (A&P) technicians, said Anita Brown, senior human resources manager. The industry’s skilled

laborers are retiring faster than area vocational schools and Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology in Tulsa can graduate new ones, studies show. In this market, Tinker Air Force Base is snapping up 98 percent of graduates, observers say. “Tinker’s 76th Maintenance Wing is hiring in these areas, but we do not consider there to be a shortage,” spokesman Ron Mullan said. The base, he said, employs 1,778 sheet metal mechanics, 80 of whom have A&P licenses, and an additional 149 A&P mechanics in various other career fields. AAR starts A&P techs at $14 to $14.50 an hour, and unlicensed sheet metal techs at $12.50 an hour, Brown said. Lately, she said, the company has lost workers, mainly those with five or fewer years’ experience, to ARINC, which Ord said offers “comprehensive and competitive” salaries. Comparatively, Tinker typically starts sheet metal techs at $30,282 and A&P workers at $32,035, Mullan said. After six months’ and more experience, the latter can jump quickly to $35,755 and higher. But Tinker’s greatest edge may be partnering with area vo-techs to offer

AAR, which employs 331 hands-on workers on Alaska, Allegiant and now Pinnacle/Mesaba aircraft, has 143 openings, namely for sheet metal technicians and airframe and power plant technicians.

DID YOU KNOW? In aerospace, the average age for production/ nonexempt employees is 47.17 for organizations with between 1,000 and 9,999 employees. By 2014, 25.11 percent of the nonexempt touch labor workforce will be eligible to retire.

dough has several openings for engineers and designers. But the consulting firm, which provides engineering, architectural, environmental and construction services, hasn’t had a lot of luck finding the right candidates. Like many companies, Middough is running as lean as it can. It needs to put its employees to work immediately on client projects, which doesn’t leave a lot of time — or money — for training workers who fit only some of the qualifications. Don Vincent, human resources manager for Middough’s Houston office, said Middough and other employers are facing a skills gap. “Could they learn it? Yes, but it would take a while,” he said. “Most of the time, the answer is let’s keep looking.” FROM WIRE REPORTS

Energy official says U.S. needs solar power BY CATHERINE TSAI Associated Press

ARVADA, Colo. — Countries are lining up to supply a huge global market for solar energy, and it’s important for the U.S. to stay in the game, Energy Secretary Steven Chu said Friday after touring a Colorado solar facility. Chu’s comments came a day after hostile questioning by Republicans in Congress over Solyndra Inc., the solar panel maker that went bankrupt after receiving a half-billiondollar federal loan. Chu told a House committee

that cheap imports from China, the collapse of the European market for solar panels, and other market changes led prices for Solyndra’s product to fall. “What happened with Solyndra was truly unfortunate,” Chu told reporters after walking through a PrimeStar Solar Inc. facility that General Electric Co. bought this year. Few people predicted prices for solar modules would fall 70 percent from 2009 to today, Chu said, and it’s unclear when the price of solar power will fall enough to be comparable to electricity produced

using natural gas. “When solar reaches price parity with any other form of new energy — you know it’s going to happen — it’s going to go viral.” Chu also said energy storage will be key to solar’s success, so it can serve as an energy source when the sun isn’t shining. Chu said the worldwide market for solar photovoltaic systems is more than $80 billion. Though the U.S. developed several solar technologies, China now holds roughly half the market share in solar cell and solar module production while the U.S. share

lags far behind, Chu said. “It’s very important we stay in this game,” he said, adding that high levels of innovation are still happening in the U.S. “We should not wave the white flag. ... We really can and should take back this technology lead.” PrimeStar Solar Inc., co-founded by researchers associated with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, received $3 million from the Energy Department in 2007 to get thin-film solar panels made from cadmium telluride into commercial production.

EXECUTIVE Q&A

Contractor is known for golf prowess BY PAULA BURKES Business Writer pburkes@opubco.com

Ask Bob Sine how often he plays golf and he could give his standard joke answer — “Twice a week: weekdays and weekends.” Joking aside, Sine may be known in the Oklahoma City area as well for his accomplishments on fairways as he is for Sine Construction, which specializes in general contracting, insurance and fire restorations, and kitchen and bath remodels. A scratch linkster, Sine has amassed scores of golf awards from state championships with the Oklahoma Golf Association to an invitation to play in the 2004 U.S. Senior Men’s Amateur Golf Championship at Bel-Air Country Club in California. In the latter, he would have competed with some 149 of his peers, but he had to cancel when his father-in-law died of a sudden heart attack the night before his scheduled flight out. Sine one day hopes to get another invitation. Meanwhile, he has plenty teed up businesswise. From his remodeled showroom and offices at 1120 NW 51 — the former site of The Colonies antique mall that Sine and his wife Patsy once operated — the couple employs six others in their construction business, which does about $3 million in annual revenues, he said. The Sines also own the

PERSONALLY SPEAKING BOB SINE I Position: Owner, Sine Construction. I Birth date: Dec. 30, 1948. I Family: Patsy Sine, wife of 41 years; children Kevin Sine, 34, and Jessica Early, 28, both of Oklahoma City; and four grandchildren, ages 5 and under. I Education: Bachelor’s and master’s degrees in economics; West Texas A&M University and the University of Oklahoma. I Parish: The Cathedral of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, where he also worshipped as a boy. I Pastimes: Golfing; hunting quail, pheasant and turkey; and antiquing with Patsy. I Bucket list: Playing golf in Ireland.

building directly east of their office where their son, Kevin Sine, runs the popular tavern 51st Street Speakeasy. Sine, 62, recently sat down with The Oklahoman to talk about his professional and personal life, which encompasses inductions into three sports halls of fame — at Bishop McGuinness Catholic High School, St. Gregory’s University in Shawnee and West Texas A&M University. The following is an edited transcript: Q: Can you tell us about your roots? A: I grew up at 36th and Eubanks. Ten of us — my parents and eight of us kids: five girls and three boys — shared one bathroom. I was the second oldest. There’s 18 months between each of the first six of us, and then my baby brother is 14 years younger than I am. My father, who died a year and half ago,

worked as an optician, and my mother, who’s 92, was a nurse. We learned early on to be self sufficient. We older kids changed diapers and took care of our younger siblings. Our recreation was playing in the park, and bikes were our transportation. Q: And school? A: I attended Catholic schools. With six of us in John Carroll at once, Monsignor Connor allowed my father to pay out the tuition. In high school, at Bishop McGuinness, I played basketball, baseball and football. I was named all-city in football, but I won a full scholarship to St. Gregory’s to play baseball (pitcher) and basketball (guard). From there, I played scholarship baseball for West Texas State, which was Division I at the time. Patsy and I married my last year of college. We’d met and started dating at Bishop McGuinness.

Q: Did you have sights on professional ball? A: Yes, but Vietnam got in the way. I served six years in the Army National Guard while I coached and taught in colleges and high school. I coached baseball and girls’ basketball at St. Gregory’s for three years; was a graduate assistant in basketball at OU, while I earned a master’s there in economics; taught economics at Rose State for a couple years and spent one year at Putnam City High School, teaching history and coaching football and basketball. Q: What led from education to contracting? A: Our son Kevin was a

toddler and I decided it was time to make some money. I worked 17 years for another contractor, writing estimates, and then Patsy and I opened this business in 1999. I like the business because every day is different; each project has its own set of circumstances. And it’s rewarding to see a good job finished and a happy customer. A lot of our work is repeat business. We may remodel someone’s bathroom and they’ll come back to us a few years later, for us to remodel their kitchen. Q: When did you start golfing, and how often do you really play?

A: I played a little bit of junior golf, when I was 11 and 12, at Lincoln Park when you could pay $2 and play nine holes. But I didn’t really start playing until after college. I like that it’s a sport you can play for a lifetime, and I also like the competition: against other people and yourself, too. From springtime through October, I’ll play three to four times a week, usually at Oak Tree, where I’m a member. I go on about four golf trips a year. I’ve played Muirfield in Dublin, Ohio, and Winged Foot in New York. I’ve made many friends and business contacts through golf.

LUNCH BREAK IS ENDANGERED IN WORKPLACES BY ROBERT NOLIN MCT Information Services

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. —

Spanish firms dealing with a tough economy are considering scrapping a local workplace tradition: the two-hour lunch. Beatriz, an economist worker, eats lunch in her office in Pamplona, northern Spain. U.S. workers also are spending more lunch hours in the office. AP PHOTO

When it comes to taking a midday break, today’s workers are out to lunch. Or rather in to lunch, spilling crumbs on the keyboard while they wolf down work and a sandwich. “I do, because of the workload and the pressure of getting everything done,” said Judy Kovacs, who works for a Fort Lauderdale law firm. Kovacs, who’s partial to soup and salad, is hardly alone. In the past decade, according to the American Dietetic Association, more than 60 percent of us have resorted to eating lunch at our desks. In a recent survey, 30 percent said they lunched at their desks to save time. Forty-six percent do it to save time plus money. “A lot of people say, ‘Lunch? Who gets lunch?’” said Monique Betty, owner of Careersync, a Boca Raton, Fla., career coaching company. “Lunch has kind of fallen on the sword during these economic times.” With waves of layoffs decimating their ranks, workers face increases in workloads. That’s what anchors us to our workstations come noon. But depriving yourself of a lunch break can result in

PostRock confirms Carter as chief BY JAY F. MARKS Business Writer jmarks@opubco.com

Terry W. Carter has joined an exclusive fraternity in Oklahoma City. Elected president and CEO of PostRock Energy Corp., Carter joins the ranks of those who head publicly traded energy companies based here. PostRock, an oil and natural gas company focused in the Cherokee Basin of Oklahoma and Kansas, announced the move Friday. Carter was elected interim CEO in June after predecessor David C. Lawler left for a position at

SandRidge Energy Inc. Carter has more than 30 years of experience in the oil and gas industry. He is the former executive vice president of exploration and production at Range Resources Corp., where he worked with then-Chairman Thomas J. Edelman, currently a member of PostRock’s board. Edelmen teamed with board Chairman Duke Ligon to find a successor for Lawler, eventually settling on Carter. PostRock also announced David Klvac has agreed to take on the additional role of chief financial officer.

Klvac, PostRock’s executive vice president and chief accounting officer, takes over that position from Jack Collins, who recently resigned to join Denbury Resources Inc. as executive director of investor relations. “We are very pleased to have David Klvac assume the role of CFO,” Carter said. “Since joining the company in 2009, David has built a strong accounting team and spearheaded a number of key initiatives that have reduced costs and improved operational efficiency.” Carter also lamented the loss of Collins. “During his four years at

PostRock, Jack played a vital role in strengthening our capital structure, resolving material issues inherited from prior management, and positioning us to begin to execute a strategy of consistent growth and profitability.”

weight gain, digestive woes or even lower productivity. “Most people in most companies today are doing the job of not just one, but three,” said Sue Romanos, co-owner of Careerxchange, a South Florida recruitment firm. “In order to get the job done within the workday, they need the time to complete their tasks.” That’s the case with Fort Lauderdale office manager Krissy Brady. “Definitely the workload has changed: less people, more work.” “Sometimes I have to do the work of two people,” said Kyle Andrade, at a Fort Lauderdale law firm. “You won’t be able to finish at the end of the day if you take a lunch hour.” Marie Sanchez, a Fort Lauderdale legal secretary, used to go with co-workers to downtown restaurants for a relaxing repast. Now it’s salad and a legal file. “I do it every day. Because of work, that’s exactly why I stay in.” Others, scared about potential layoffs, do it for show, said Betty. “It’s appearance. Your nose is to

the grindstone; you’re a team player doing it for the organization.” But lunch at the workplace can have health consequences. Carol Sherman, a dietitian from Boca Raton, Fla., said work can be a stressful distraction when diners are better off concentrating on the meal. “One would overeat, or not enjoy what they’re eating. Increased stress does seem to lead to more abdominal fat.” Dr. David Kerman, assistant professor of gastroenterology at the University of Miami’s Miller School of Medicine, said a potbelly isn’t the only risk from eating during work. “Heartburn happens any time you ingest large amounts of food in a fast manner,” he said. “It’s really not a healthy way to eat. It’s really not the way our bodies are meant to take in food.” Romanos, the job recruiter, insists that her workers eat elsewhere. “We want them to take a breath,” she said. “When you get out and you refresh, you become more productive.”

Insurance premiums are victims of low interest Dear Mr. Berko: We had to give my wonderful folks $420 so they could pay the increase in their homeowner’s insurance premium. These insurance companies are greedy pigs. Please tell me how they’re allowed to increase my parent’s premiums by 32 percent. A few years ago, my folks (who are in their mid-70s) had a fair retirement, but they had to watch their pennies. Fortunately, they got about $620 a month from their CDs. Today those CDs pay $100 a month, and it’s painful to watch my parents make the best of things. Last week, when Dad told me he got a part-time job at a hardware store, I cried. This beautiful man was drafted, spent 23 months in Vietnam and got two purple hearts and a bronze star for his service. When he came home, he was booed. For 35 years, Dad worked himself to the bone, and he and Mom raised three of us to be good citizens. And now his country is booing him again. Please tell me: Why have insurance rates gone up so high? Why has the government done nothing to help my dad? I’ve lost faith. PN, Bethlehem, Pa.

My answer won’t solve the problem, but perhaps your folks should consider a reverse annuity mortgage, which could pay them $500, $600 or more per month. And, perhaps, if they could invade 5 percent of their principle annually to help them cope, assuming zero interest on $156,000, your folks could take $7,500 every year for 20 years before their money is reduced to zero. Among the Federal Reserve’s saddest failures are the Three Qs, or the three rounds of quantitative easing: QE-1, QE-2, and QE-3. Someone calculated that if the collective sum of the Three Qs were represented by 100dollar bills, the volume of that currency would fill Yankee Stadium to the bleachers. Sadly, the benefits would hardly fill a press box. Many economists suggested that QE-1 would fail, but the politics

behind QE-2 and QE-3 prevailed over economic realities. The Fed’s second silly failure was diddling with interest rates, keeping them near zero, to stimulate consumer borrowing. Even my son’s two schnauzers, Sigmund and Freud, know that people must have jobs to qualify for bank loans. Perhaps next the Fed will require banks to issue glow-inthe-dark checkbooks so Americans can spend money at night. Low rates have not helped the real estate market, shortened unemployment lines, stemmed the flow of Chapter 11s or encouraged consumer spending. Many economists warned the administration that lowering rates would not jump-start the economy and told us that premiums for home, health, auto and casualty insurance policies would increase dramatically. That was an easy call. Insurers keep hundreds of billions of dollars in short-term securities to help pay projected claims. A few years ago, those multiple billions earned 3 to 6 percent, and that income allowed insurers to meet claims without reducing reserve requirements. Now those earnings earn bupkis, so in-

surers had to raise premiums to maintain reserves. Yes, the insurance companies are “greedy pigs,” but if reserve requirements fall below legal mandates, they will be forbidden to do business in your state. Your folks are a casualty of low rates, which have also caused a significant decline in consumer spending among retirees. Most retirees depend upon their CD earnings, but that income has vaporized. Some economists believe that reduced retiree spending has lowered our GDP by almost 2 percent. The most evident consequence of the new hundreds of billions of dollars flooding the economy and low interest rates is the rank speculation and systematic pillage of the stock market. This kind of trading gave the Vampires of Wall Street the tools to drain the blood from the corpus of America’s middle class. Stock values collapsed, pension plans became devalued, homes are underwater, incomes declined, jobs disappeared and municipalities struggle to stay solvent.

FAMILY FINANCE: THREE WAYS TO GET CASH BEFORE HOLIDAYS BY EILEEN AJ CONNELLY AP Personal Finance Writer

Worried about whether you can afford the holidays this year? Time may be running out, but it’s still possible to take advantage of a number of options to boost your end-of-the-year income. From temporary jobs to getting paid for your opinion, there are ways to bring in extra cash in time to fund a few gifts. You may even find what could become a regular source of income after the tinsel is taken down.

1. Do market research A number of firms will pay for your opinion when you participate in focus groups, product tests or opinion surveys. Spend a few days testing a product for Delve, for instance, and you could bring in $125 to $200. The St. Louisbased data collection firm, which has locations in 11 cities, also does online surveys and polls, where pay starts about $25. In its focus groups you could earn $80 to $100. Delve starts new studies every day, screening its database of about 400,000 consumers for individuals with the demographics needed for the client. It takes about 10 minutes to fill out the sign-up form on Delve.com. It asks questions about the members of your household and some of the products your family uses. Delve spokeswoman Kay Savio said new applicants usually get a response within a week. Some surveys are aimed at children, so parents can also sign their kids up to take part and earn a few bucks. Savio said participants can get paid for in-person research that same day. Some other market researchers, including Harris Interactive, pay participants in rewards points, which can be redeemed for merchandise or gift cards. There are plenty of opportunities to take part in market research, but be wary of scams. Legitimate firms will not charge a sign-up fee or require you to pay for shipping the products to be tested or rewards you earn.

2. Get seasonal work Even with the unemployment rate stuck at 9 percent and many who are working looking for more hours or higher pay, it’s still possible to get temporary work. The usual suspects are retailers and the hospitality industry. With extra-long store hours and fierce competition for holiday dollars, retailers are still advertising for staffers. The market is mixed right now, according to John Challenger, CEO of the outsourcing firm Challenger,

Gray & Christmas. He said November is typically the biggest month for hiring seasonal workers. However, hiring will extend into December because many stores are waiting to gauge their needs based on their sales and traffic over Thanksgiving weekend. At the same time, Challenger added, retailers want to make sure they have adequate customer service during this crucial period. Restaurants, catering companies, event planners and hotels also frequently add staff to handle holiday parties and events. Challenger said the travel industry also often adds workers. And both United Parcel Service Inc. and FedEx are hiring thousands to handle the holiday shipping crunch. It’s not just holiday-related jobs that open up at year end. Keith Fairchild, owner of a TRC Staffing Services franchise in Jacksonville, Fla., noted that companies with December or January deadlines for filing annual reports, or completing other year-end projects often need professional help like accountants and data processors. “That’s kind of a hidden seasonal thing,” he said. “People don’t think about that as much as they think about the ramp up in retail.”

3. Sell your stuff Tristen and Amy O’Brien started earning money online by selling an old television set and other household items. They’ve since ramped up their selling into a business that brings in about $3,000 per month. That effort requires nearly 40 hours of work per week between them. But it enables Amy to be a stay-at-home mom. His blog and others like it can help new users quickly learn what eBay customers are looking for — and what they’re not. It may seem counterintuitive, for ex-

ample, but vintage items aren’t always going to bring in money. And while everyone hopes for the garage sale purchase that sells for 10 times its purchase price, O’Brien said he’s found more success with more runof-the-mill products like good quality used clothing. Some online sellers can list up to 50 items per month for free on its auctions, and takes 9 percent of the final sale price, including shipping, as its fee, up to $100. There’s a different price structure for larger-scale sellers, who can sign up for a store subscription. Amy O’Brien also sells some items on Etsy.com, a site where users can advertise vintage and handmade items and supplies. Another option is selling through a consignment shop. Vintage clothing, antiques and unique games and toys are often among the best sellers at independent consignment shops. Typically, these stores will keep 40 to 50 percent of the sale price, and pay you after the item is sold. There are also resale chains like Play It Again Sports, which specializes in sporting goods and fitness equipment, Once Upon a Child, which focuses on children and infant’s items, and Music Go Round, which buys and sells musical instruments and equipment. Operated by Winmark Corp., these chains make an offer for your items based on their current sales trends and inventories, and pay at the time of drop off. Sellers can also use the offer to cover purchases at these stores, which may mean picking up some gifts without laying out any cash at all.

Eagle This week’s theme (with apologies to “RoboCop”) is “I’d buy that for a dollar!” Both our eagle and beagle this week can be had for just about that amount. Our top performing state-based stock last week broke through the $1 level, a boundary the shares have languished beneath more often than not of late. Tulsa-based RAM Energy Resources added 11.2 percent to close

Our beagle this week slipped below the dreaded $1 price line. Graymark Health Care, an Oklahoma City-based operator of sleep diagnosis clinics, slumbered to a 16.7 percent decline last week. The stock, which closed a week ago at $1.02, finished Friday at a mere 85 cents. GRMH could use some good news to wake up traders. On Friday, not a single share changed hands.

SOCIAL SECURITY Q&A

SSI benefit can vary by location, income Q: How much will I receive if I qualify for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits? A: The amount of your SSI benefit depends on where you live and how much income you have. The maximum SSI payment varies nationwide. The maximum Federal SSI payment for an eligible individual is $674 a month and $1,011 a month for an eligible couple. However, many States add money to the basic payment. For more information, go to www.socialsecurity.gov/ ssi.

Children may qualify Q: My child is disabled. Can she qualify for Supplemental Security Income?

A: SSI makes monthly payments to people with limited income and resources who are 65 or older, or blind, or disabled. Your child younger than age 18 can qualify if he or she meets Social Security’s definition of disability for children, and if his or her income and resources fall within the eligibility limits. We also consider the income and resources of family members living in the child’s household. For more information, call 1800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800325-0778) or visit www.socialsecurity.gov/ pubs/10026.html. This column was prepared by the Social Security Administration.

More workers see retirement waiting after they hit 80 BY DAVID PITT AP Personal Finance Writer

DES

MOINES,

Iowa

—

Workers are growing to accept the idea that they may be working long after they’ve become eligible for senior discounts. Yet rather than fixate on their target retirement age, they’re increasingly focused on how much money they’ll need to retire, according to a new national survey by Wells Fargo & Co. This shift is coupled with their growing frustration that they’re not saving enough. One of the striking results of the survey released Wednesday is that 25 percent of the respondents said they’ll need to work until at least age 80 because they will not have enough money to retire comfortably. Even those who plan on retiring expect they may continue working in some capacity: I About 75 percent said they expect to work in their retirement years. I About 39 percent said they will need to work to afford things they want or to maintain their lifestyle. I Another 35 percent say they’ll work because they want to. It seems the old expectations of working until one’s 60s and then taking it easy have been cast aside. In the survey, 76 percent of those interviewed said it’s more important to have a specific amount saved before retirement, regardless of age. Only 20 percent said it is more important to retire at a specific age, regardless of savings. This change in attitude of working to save a specific dollar amount is grounded in reality, said

Joe Ready, a director of Wells Fargo Institutional Retirement and Trust. But he notes that it raises a lot of larger issues for the workplace and the economy that have yet to play out. For instance, evaluating the potential impact on advancement opportunities for younger workers if their older peers stay on the job. The survey focused on 1,500 respondents in their 20s through their 70s with household income of $25,000 to $99,999. The intent was to center in on middle-class workers and retirees. These findings come at a time when political leaders are discussing cuts to future Social Security and Medicare benefits. About half of those surveyed between the ages of 25 and 49 say they are willing to accept future reductions in Social Security and Medicare benefits to help lower the nation’s total debt. For those aged 50 to 59, that drops to 28 percent, and only 19 percent of those over 60 agree with such program cuts. That signifies a shift in the expectations of government support in retirement, said Laurie Nordquist, another Wells Fargo retirement director.

Shares of AMR, the parent of American Airlines, fell 5 percent last Monday. That was after the Department of Transportation fined its subsidiary American Eagle Airlines just under $1 million for stranding passengers on the tarmac in Chicago for more than three hours in May. AMR is trying to spin American Eagle off into a separate company. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just the government thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fighting with AMR. American Airlines is pushing for a new contract with its labor unions that will allow it to cut costs. But pilots, flight attendants and mechanics have dug in their heels. Sterne Agee analyst Jeff Kauffman says that if American isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to reach an agreement soon, AMR might be forced into Chapter 11 bankruptcy. American is falling behind its competitors. It was the only major Source: FactSet

Airport’s concessions nearly finished FROM STAFF REPORTS

Workers are wrapping up a $1.7 million remodel of the concessions at Will Rogers World Airport. A giant soda bottle was installed Friday as part of the new POPS drink stands. Other stores include InMotion Entertainment, EA Sports Experience, Brighton Collectibles and Bricktown Square. The shops will begin opening next week.

Fixtures are set up at EA Sports Experience.

Bricktown Square, a new souvenir shop, is under construction at Will Rogers World Airport.

Techs: Program to reopen FROM PAGE 1C

class sizes are offered by Gordon Cooper Technology Center in Shawnee and Canadian Valley Technology Center in El Reno. For more introductory and unlicensed sheet metal training, Francis Tuttle Technology Center offers free, state-funded 12-week day and 18-week night programs to participants, who are accepted based on baseline testing and an aptitude of working with hand tools. So as not to exceed industry demand, the program has been closed for about a year, but will reopen soon, training project manager Clark Jermain said. Prospective

students can go to www.aircraftsheetmetaltraining.com. Meanwhile, AAR is scrambling to meet its present and future job demands, from awarding internships to high school students to expose them to careers in aviation and scholarships to teachers to attend aerospace expos. More tangibly, Anita Brown in August secured approval to reimburse employees up to $5,250 in tuition in exchange for 18month work commitments. Though AAR can’t compete salary-wise with Tinker, the private company offers workers the chance to work holistically

on an aircraft, Brown said. “Instead of putting one rivet in a certain panel day after day, they get a broader base of knowledge,” she said. But the biggest future challenge for the industry, she said, is for today’s parents to view aircraft technicians as a viable career, Brown said. “We as parents make the mistake of touting college (over trades) to our kids,” she said. “We want our kids to go to college, but then many of today’s graduates are coming out of school with no jobs and flipping burgers,” Brown said. “There’s a disconnect there,” she said.

Oklahoma State football coach Mike Gundy said early last week he was concerned about the amount of time his defense had spent on the field this season.

Those close to Jim Littell say he’s the perfect man to take over as OSU’s women’s basketball coach.

IOWA STATE 37, OSU 31 (2OT) Win or lose, it was a dark day 3.3

BY THE NUMBERS Yards per carry for OSU’s tailbacks.

Overtime games in OSU history. The Cowboys beat Missouri 23-20 in 1996, lost to Texas A&M 28-25 in 1997 and lost to A&M 34-33 in 2006.

Straight stops by the OSU defense, before ISU’s touchdown midway through the second quarter. The streak started with OSU’s last-play stop against Kansas State.

COMMENTARY

MES, Iowa — Football didn’t seem to matter much Friday morning, when we all learned that another plane crash had pierced the soul of a school and all the thousands who care so much about it. But by Friday night, we knew that wasn’t true. The second-ranked Cowboys played a game with heavy hearts and heavy responsibility. OSU suddenly needed to beat Iowa State not for bowl or poll reasons, not for Bedlam posturing, not for Brandon Weeden’s Heisman campaign, but to bring a sliver of light into a very dark day. It didn’t happen. The Cyclones stunned the Cowboys 37-31 in double overtime at Jack Trice Stadium. It’s a day that will live forever in both schools’ memories. At Iowa State, for the historic upset, ISU’s first win ever over a team ranked in the top six nationally. At OSU, for the deaths of women’s basketball coach Kurt Budke and assistant Miranda Serna. Weeden called it “one of the hardest days in Oklahoma State history.” At the team breakfast Friday at the Des Moines Marriott, televisions were tuned to ESPN, which suddenly went live to the Stillwater press conference. The room fell silent. “For me to say it wasn’t a strange day would be kind of leading everybody astray,” Mike Gundy said. “It was a surreal day. “But this team has handled a lot of different situations. We just didn’t play well.”

Games in Iowa State history against teams ranked in the top six, without a victory, before Friday. ISU had been 0-56-2.

Good for Gundy. No excuses. OSU lost because its high-powered offense sputtered far too many times, and the defense finally broke at the end. Still, it was a hard day. These Cowboys might not have been tight with Kurt Budke, they are tight with his players. That’s the kind of school OSU has. “This morning was really tough,” Weeden said. “Guys were in the dumps a little bit.” That’s why this football game was so important. Athletes weren’t the only ones down in the dumps. Everyone associated with

OSU felt the same way. Which is why we call on sports. Ballgames so often offer a diversion from reality. Usually the humdrum, but sometimes the horror. A victory over Iowa State would have offered a little respite. Not to the Budke or Serna families. But to a fan base and a school that must feel under siege after yet another plane crashed claimed the lives of good people. In a weird way, the tragedy offers respite to the football side. The perfect season is gone. Big Bowl hopes are gone. Weeden’s Heisman

campaign is gone. That would have qualified as disaster before a single-engine plane crashed into the Arkansas hills. Now, it’s merely disappointing. “The plane crash, for the families of the people involved, is just tragic,” Gundy said. “So much more important than this game. When you lose people …” Weeden said the players took on the mindset of winning for the victims, and while Gundy said he doesn’t much believe in that, “One thing I can guarantee you, these guys

wanted to go out and play the best they could. It just didn’t come out in their favor tonight.” A tipped pass here, a tackle there. A field goal. A first down. Lots of things could have brought that sliver of light. But no matter the final score, Friday would have remained one of the darkest days in OSU history.

Offense falls short in loss to Cyclones

AMES, Iowa — Brandon Weeden connected with Tracy Moore, who then broke a tackle on his way to the end zone for a 30-yard score. That put Oklahoma State up by 17 points less than three minutes into the third quarter Friday night against Iowa State. But the No. 2-ranked Cowboys’ potent offense would not score again in regulation, which gave Iowa State room to come back before topping OSU 37-31 in double overtime at Jack Trice Stadium. A day that began with tragedy when news broke that a plane crash Thursday night killed OSU women’s basketball coach Kurt Budke, assistant coach Miranda Serna and two others ended with the previously unbeaten Cowboys (10-1, 7-1 Big 12) most likely falling out of the national title race. “I did a poor job in the short week, obviously, getting the guys ready and executing,” OSU offensive coordinator Todd Monken said. “We didn’t score enough. That wasn’t good enough. It’s going to be a hard one to take for a long time. It really is.” The win was arguably the biggest in Iowa State history, which was 0-56-2 all-time against teams ranked in the Top 6 in The Associated Press poll en-

tering Friday. The OSU offense uncharacteristically never got in rhythm, while ISU scored 17 unanswered points after Moore’s touchdown put the Cowboys up 24-7 to force overtime.

The Cowboys turned the ball over five times. Weeden threw three interceptions on a night where he also became the school’s all-time leading passer with 8,644 yards. Joseph Randle lost two fumbles. OSU was shut

out in the fourth quarter. Seven of the Cowboys’ 24 points in regulation came on a 70-yard interception return for a touchdown by Shaun Lewis. And the Cowboys had opportunities, especially late in the game.

With the score tied 2424, Alex Elkins picked off ISU quarterback Jared Barnett, and a personal foul penalty gave the Cowboys possession at the Cyclone 25 with 3:17 to play. But after two runs by Jeremy Smith gained four yards and a 5-yard pass to Josh Cooper left OSU a yard shy of a first down, Quinn Sharp barely missed a 37yard field goal wide right with 1:17 left. “You have to take advantage of that,” OSU coach Mike Gundy said. “Had a chance to get the first down, kick the field goal, win the game.” Then when OSU had a chance to continue momentum after it answered a quick Iowa State touchdown in overtime with Weeden’s 6-yard pass to Cooper in the end zone, Weeden’s first pass of the second overtime was intercepted by Ter’Ran Benton. Three Jeff Woody runs later, the Cyclones (6-4, 3-4 Big 12) were in the end zone, and fans were storming the field. OSU now goes into a bye week with its national championship hopes likely over but with the opportunity to still win the Big 12 and go to a BCS game with a victory against No. 5 Oklahoma on Dec. 3. But Monken knows rebounding so quickly will not be easy. “We all know what we were hoping for, and that’s going to be hard,” Monken said. “That’s going to be hard for me. Shoot, I need a couple days. That’s hard. But as men, as a group, you’ve got to find a way to battle back.”

HIGH SCHOOLS EDMOND — Jenks running back Alex Ross spoke only two simple words to describe what lies ahead for the Trojans in the Class 6A semifinals — a rematch with rival Tulsa Union. “It’s time,” Ross said after rushing for 258 yards and three touchdowns in Jenks’ 48-21 win that ended Edmond Santa Fe’s fantastic turnaround Friday night at Wantland Stadium. In his first game back since suffering a broken collarbone on Oct. 7, Ross slowly worked his way back into action but exploded in the second half with 198 yards and two touchdowns on 12 carries. Edmond Santa Fe quarterback Justice Hansen threw for 357 yards and two touchdowns in the finale of his sophomore sea-

son in which he guided the Wolves to a 10-2 mark a year after winning just one game. But Jenks was able to come up with three interceptions (five takeaways in all) and kept consistent pressure on Hansen with five sacks to keep the Santa Fe offense off balance. Yet it was the Jenks offense that turned the game around. Late in the third quarter with the Trojans leading 28-21, Edmond Santa Fe had Jenks pinned at its own 9-yard line, facing third-and-10. Ross ran

left, cut back through a crease and broke away for a 91-yard touchdown that sparked a runaway victory. “It was a momentumlifter for us, but I think it was a momentum-stealer for them,” Jenks coach Allan Trimble said. “Alex is an inspiration. He hasn’t been full-speed since September. It’s not only his performance on the field, but the other kids just seeing him out here is very inspiring.” There will be no need for added inspiration next week. Union defeated Jenks 41-19 in Week 2.

Union and Jenks is usually saved for the title game, but this year’s meeting will come in the semifinals. Ross was playing on a bad ankle in the previous meeting with Union and broke his collarbone a few weeks later. Now, he’s clearly healthy. “We’re gonna get ’em. We’re gonna get after ’em,” Ross said. “They’re a good team, so we’re gonna have to work hard. But we’re ready for it.”

DAVIS — No. 5-ranked Millwood knocked off No. 1 Davis 20-7 at Wolf Field Friday night to advance to the third round of the Class 2A football playoffs. Quarterback Dametric Sanders rushed 211 yards on 16 carries and accounted for all three of Millwood’s touchdowns. He said it felt good to travel to Davis and then go home to Oklahoma City with a victory. “We knocked off the No. 1 team, and we came out and executed and gave it our all,” Sanders said. Sanders hit five different receivers for 57 yards passing and ran 93 yards for a touchdown run. Millwood coach Tony Henry said he was proud of his team. “Any time you come here, you’ve got to be on you’re A-game,” Henry said. “We actually showed that we could play some defense.” The Millwood defense held up against the Davis wishbone. The Falcons’ defense allowed 212 yards rushing and just eight passing yards. Davis quarterback Cole

Weber rushed for 103 yards on 16 carries, but he failed to complete a pass and threw four interceptions. Backup quarterback Alec Hetherington connected with tailback Chance Griffin for Davis’ only completion, which went for a touchdown. Down 14-7 late in the fourth quarter, the Wolves had a chance to stop Millwood on Davis’ 22-yard line with a fourth-and-2. But a fake-handoff and run by Sanders left the Wolves’ defense out of position; Sanders scored to seal the victory. “It was the play of the game,” Davis coach Jody Weber said. “(Millwood) was better than us tonight. There’s no doubt about it. Their defense played really well.”

BETHANY 42, BRIDGE CREEK 6

Bethany runs over Bridge Creek BY TRENT SHADID For The Oklahoman

BRIDGE CREEK — Prior to Friday’s game against Bridge Creek, Bethany coach Reagan Roof challenged his players to prove they could dominate a game physically. The Bronchos answered the challenge as they racked up 310 yards rushing in a 42-6 victory at Jerry Wallis Field. “A lot of people think of us as a finesse team,” Roof said. “But tonight I told the team we had to come out and play tough, physical football to win.” Bethany was led by senior running back Brett Gilstrap, who carried 26 times for 207 yards and two touchdowns. “This was a career night for me,” Gilstrap said. “We wanted to be physical coming into the game so I knew I was going to get a lot of carries and I just tried to make the most of it.” Penalties and two turnovers made for a slow start for the Bronchos, who led

14-6 at halftime. “Once we cut out those mistakes in the second half, we were able to have a lot of success,” Roof said. The Bronchos have now won two playoff games on the road after finishing third in District 3A-3. “This isn’t new to us. We finished third in the district last year and made the semifinals,” Roof said. Bethany (9-2) will play next week at Cascia Hall, which moved to 12-0 with a 32-6 victory over Keys. Bridge Creek (5-7) was led by senior running back Chris Golden who rushed for 154 on 23 carries.

NORTH CAROLINA STATE 37, CLEMSON 13

N.C. State rolls over Clemson BY AARON BEARD AP Sports Writer

RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina State coach Tom O’Brien never saw this coming. Neither did seventh-ranked Clemson, which suddenly looks a bit lost at the wrong time of the year. Mike Glennon threw three touchdown passes and the Wolfpack shut down the Tigers’ explosive offense to take a 37-13 win on Saturday, a surprisingly dominant performance by a team still trying to become bowl eligible. Tobais Palmer had a dazzling 43-yard catchand-run touchdown to highlight a big night for N.C. State (6-5, 3-4 Atlantic Coast Conference).

First Quarter Ala — FG Shelley 32, 11:48. Ala — Kirkpatrick 55 blocked field goal return (Shelley kick), 5:12. Second Quarter Ala — Richardson 4 pass from McCarron (Shelley kick), 12:56. GaSo — Swope 82 run (Mora kick), 12:36. Ala — Richardson 1 run (Shelley kick), 6:16.

The Wolfpack scored 27 points in the second quarter, then increased the lead and never let the Tigers (9-2, 6-2) build any momentum to rally. “I really have no explanation for what just happened,” O’Brien said with a smile. It was N.C. State’s first win against a top-10 team in five seasons under O’Brien and it continued the mystifying ways of a team that has struggled with consistency all year. The Wolfpack followed a shutout win against rival North Carolina with an inept performance in last week’s loss at Boston College. Yet N.C. State responded by emphatically ending a seven-year losing streak to a team that had

already wrapped up the league’s Atlantic Division crown and an appearance in the ACC championship game in Charlotte on Dec. 3. N.C. State still needs to win next week against Maryland to become bowl eligible, which was why O’Brien wasn’t laughing when his players celebrated by dumping a cooler on him — twice — late in this one. “As I said to the team, the biggest thing is here we are again in this situation,” he said. “That’s the biggest question that has to be answered right now, that you can’t have a big win and then not play the next week.” Still, he couldn’t have asked for much more. His

players avoided turnovers, made few mistakes and seemingly had the perfect counter for anything Clemson tried to do. And the defense — which had held the past two opponents to fewer than 200 total yards — harassed Tajh Boyd and cut off the big plays that had made the Tigers’ offense hum. The Tigers averaged a league-best 37 points and 478 yards per game, but they didn’t reach the end zone until the final 90 seconds. They didn’t crack the 200-yard mark until late in the third quarter and earned many of their 337 total yards in the meaningless final minutes. Clemson now has 11 turnovers in the past three games.

Ohio State, Meyer reportedly talking ESPN.com reported that Ohio State has been in contact with former Florida coach Urban Meyer about the Buckeyes’ coaching vacancy and that there is strong interest on both sides. Meyer, who was working for ESPN on the Nebraska-Michigan telecast, said “there’s no truth to that” when asked about reports that he has accepted the Buckeyes’ coaching job. “I know it’s that time of year. I’ve not been offered any job, and I’ve certainly not accepted any job,” he said.

PENN STATE OFFICIALS FORMULATING PLAN FOR COACH SEARCH Saying his job right now is to “keep this ship going,” Penn State’s acting athletic director says he and the university are formulating a plan to search for a permanent head football coach. Speaking in the press box at Ohio Stadium just before the game between the No. 21 Nittany Lions and Ohio State, David Joyner said he will be the primary person to design the search but will consult with the university’s new president, Rod Erickson. Penn State is still reeling from a scandal involving former defensive assistant coach Jerry Sandusky who allegedly molested eight boys. Joe Paterno, the Nittany Lions’ football coach since 1966, was fired in the aftermath of Sandusky’s arrest two weeks ago. Other administrators, including former president Graham Spanier, also lost their jobs. Penn State won its first game since Paterno was fired by beating Ohio State 20-14.

TRUCK STRIKES HARVARD-YALE TAILGATERS A driver of a U-Haul truck carrying beer kegs through a tailgating area before the Yale-Harvard game Saturday suddenly accelerated, fatally striking a 30-year-old Massachusetts woman and injuring two other women, police said. It’s not clear why the driver sped up, New Haven Police spokesman David Hartman said. The truck then crashed into other U-Haul vans in the lot, an open playing field used for pre-game tailgating parties before Yale home games in New Haven.

ANOTHER KEENUM RECORD Houston senior quarterback Case Keenum set the Football Bowl Subdivision career record for completions in the first quarter against SMU. Keenum needed seven completions to eclipse Graham Harrell’s FBS record (1,403), set with Texas Tech from 2005-08. He surpassed Harrell’s mark on a 22-yard pass to running back Bryce Beall on the Cougars’ second series with 6:38 left in the quarter. On Houston’s first drive, Keenum joined Hawaii’s Tim Chang (2000-04) as the only players to have three 4,000-yard seasons. Chang played for current SMU coach June Jones. Keenum completed 30 of 45 passes for 318 yards.

Cowboys get warm reception in Stillwater When Oklahoma State’s players and coaches landed at the Stillwater airport after the trip home from Ames, they were greeted with a pleasant surprise. It was 2:45 in the morning and some 150 friends, family and supporters were waiting to cheer their return – from a loss. On Twitter, several Cowboys voiced their appreciation. Tracy Moore: “Its amazing the support at the airport waiting for us even after losing! Love cowboy nation.” Lane Taylor: “Made it back home safely. Good to see the #CowboyNation still supporting us.”

MONKEN ON BOARD In the aftermath of OSU’s upset loss at Iowa State, analysts were quick to proclaim the Cowboys out of the national title hunt and Brandon Weeden out of the Heisman Trophy chase. Weeden was picked off three times by the Cyclones, but did throw for 476 yards and three touchdowns, with two of the interceptions coming off tipped balls. Cowboys offensive coordinator Todd Monken scoffed at any critics focused on one game. “A team loses a game, all of a sudden he’s not a good player, not good enough to win the Heisman,” Monken said. “That’s a bunch of crap. That kid’s a great football player. It didn’t go our way (Friday night).”

COOP CATCHING UP Lost in OSU’s loss: a big game by receiver Josh Cooper, who caught 13 passes for 128 yards. Cooper now has 60 receptions on the season, tying for 10th on the Cowboys’ single-season list with Hart Lee Dykes (1986) and Adarius Bowman (2006). Cooper also climbed into eighth place, past Curtis Mayfield, on the career receiving list with 1,634 yards. BY JOHN HELSLEY

And one of A&M’s guys, running back Cyrus Gray, was better in a half than any Jayhawks runner was in the entire game. Gray rushed for 94 yards and three touchdowns on nine carries, exiting just before the half with what Sherman called a bruised shoulder. “I don’t have a final analysis yet,” Sherman said of the extent of Gray’s injury. With Gray in sweatpants in the second half, Sherman played freshman Will Randolph, who had redshirted through the first 10 games but earned 10 carries for 37 yards (and fumbled once) over the final two quarters.

“It’s always difficult to pull a redshirt, but without knowing Cyrus’ status for (Texas), it was important that Randolph get reps in this game,” Sherman said. “It’s what we had to do.” Should Gray not be able to go against the Longhorns, the Aggies are down to two scholarship running backs — sophomore Ben Malena, who would be the new No. 1, and Randolph — who own 29 carries between them this season. “Cyrus is big for us, and we’ll see how it goes,” quarterback Ryan Tannehill said. “But Malena is a solid running back, as well. We see what he can do in practice every day. Either

way, we have confidence.” Tannehill threw three touchdown passes, including two to Ryan Swope, and the A&M defense tallied a season-high 15 tackles for lost yardage. And, by game’s end, the rival Longhorns were on the Aggies’ minds. “It’s a historic game for us,” Tannehill said. “The fact that we get to play Texas at home, in what’s probably the last game between the schools, that’s huge.” The Aggies are set to enter the Southeastern Conference starting next season, and UT has said it won’t play A&M for the foreseeable future.

Kinne threw three touchdown passes as Tulsa piled up 500 total yards in breezing past UTEP 57-28 on Saturday. The victory set up the Golden Hurricane (8-3, 7-0 Conference USA) to meet No. 11 Houston on Friday for a spot in the conference championship game. Kinne completed 19 of 25 passes for 283 yards and touchdowns to Trey Watts, Bryan Burnham and Jordan James. Ja’Terian Douglas ran 14 times for 109 yards and a score. Alex Singleton and Kinne also rushed for TDs. Watts also returned a kickoff 94 yards for a touchdown, and Shawn Jackson ran back an interception 34 yards for a score.

What does that matter now? Missouri is 6-5 and bowl eligible for a seventh straight season. And 26 seniors who were playing the final home game of their careers got to race to the giant rock M at the north end of the stadium and pick out their own whitewashed hunk of history. Senior linebacker Luke Lambert played perhaps his finest game as a Tiger, leading defenders on both teams with 13 tackles, including 2½ for loss. “It’ll be the one I remember the most,” Lambert said. “It’s something special. Coach Stec put us in the right spots at the

right time.” Lambert thought of Pinkel, somewhere across town likely, so happy for the players, and especially the seniors. Pinkel informed the team of his suspension Thursday. “He got the seniors together,” Lambert said, “and as we left he talked to us individually.” Junior tailback Kendial Lawrence ran for 94 yards in 15 carries, and sophomore Marcus Lucas caught four passes for 68 yards and a layout 7-yard touchdown that pulled Missouri within 27-24 with 12:03 left in the game.

“He has built it on a rock. If you build your foundation on a rock, and the storms come, it will survive.” For most of Saturday afternoon it appeared Missouri would not survive. Tech jumped to a 14-0 first-quarter lead and 1710 at halftime. After three quarters, Tech led 27-17 and the crowd of 54,309 made a little more sound than the empty seats in the corners of the stadium.

BIG 12 SCOREBOARD Big 12 Standings

BY MIKE DEARMOND

COLUMBIA, Mo. — In the span of five seconds in the final Saturday at Memorial Stadium this season, a week that tried the soul of the Missouri football team ended in shouts of joy. Texas Tech quarterback Seth Doege, standing outside the Missouri 10-yard line, threw a zip-line pass over the middle at Tech receiver Eric Ward. Dominique Hamilton — Missouri’s 6-foot-5 senior nose guard — threw a hand up. The ball popped into the air and came down into the hands of Missouri defensive end Michael Sam for an interception. Then Missouri frittered away the final 32 seconds of a 31-27 victory that punctuated perhaps the most bizarre four days in Mizzou football history. It began with Tigers coach Gary Pinkel being pulled over on Wednesday night and arrested for drunken driving. MU athletic director Mike Alden suspended Pinkel for one week on Thursday and on Friday, Pinkel pleaded guilty and was given a 30day suspended sentence and two years’ probation. That was why Missouri offensive coordinator David Yost and Tigers defensive coordinator Dave Steckel discussed the aftermath of the game instead of Pinkel. “I think that we came together because of the foundation that Gary Pinkel has built here,” said Steckel, who officially served as Missouri’s acting coach for the game, although he said he and Yost shared that responsibility.

OSU FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK

Aggies turn focus to Texas — One by one, Texas A&M’s players vowed they started zeroing in on Thanksgiving night’s touted Texas game as soon as they entered the locker room following their 61-7 hammering of Kansas on Saturday before 86,411fans at Kyle Field. Then a smiling defensive end Tony Jerod-Eddie ’fessed up. “It was probably with a couple of minutes left in the game that we started thinking about this Thursday night,” he said. “We know it’s going to be a huge game, and we know those guys are good and are going to give us all they’ve got. “But they’re going to get it in return, as well.” The Aggies (6-5, 4-4 Big 12) didn’t need Saturday night to soak in their victory over the Jayhawks (2-9, 0-8) — they had the second half for that. A&M led 23-0 after a quarter and 44-0 by the time the Aggie Band marched onto the field at halftime in ensuring they wouldn’t blow their fifth double-digit, second-half lead this season. “I told the kids before the game, ‘It doesn’t look like we’ll win a championship this year, but that doesn’t mean you can’t play like champions today,’ ” A&M coach Mike Sherman said. And, at least for one league game, the underachieving Aggies resembled the team once ranked seventh. A&M, in dominating Kansas from start to finish, snapped a threegame losing streak and became eligible for a bowl for the third time in Sherman’s four seasons. “We got out-coached and outplayed,” said KU coach Turner Gill, steward of the league’s worst team. “We got beat in every phase, and their guys were better than our guys.”

Gundy knew his defense was gassed CONCERN JUSTIFIED | DEFENSE SPENT TOO MUCH TIME ON FIELD

Gina Mizell gmizell@ opubco.com

OSU FOOTBALL STILLWATER — The final minutes of Oklahoma State’s shocking doubleovertime loss at Iowa State on Friday played out just like coach Mike Gundy worried they could. First, the OSU defense allowed a 12-play, 89-yard touchdown drive that tied the game at 24 with 5:30 to play. Then there was a mental lapse when ISU quarterback Jared Barnett found a wide open James White on a wheel rout for a 25-yard touchdown on the first play of overtime. And after forcing a Brandon Weeden interception to start the second overtime, Cylone fullback Jeff Woody sealed the biggest victory in ISU history when he bulldozed into the end zone on three consecutive run plays, breaking a bevy of Cowboy arm tackles along the way. Gassed. Entering Friday’s game, the OSU defense had been on the field for 825 plays

this season, or the equivalent of nearly three more games than Alabama’s defense. It added 101 more snaps against the Cyclones. When asked Monday if he was concerned about the amount of time the Cowboy defenders had spent on the field so far, Gundy did not hesitate. “I am,” Gundy said. “We’re doing what we can to make up for that in practice. We have a chart for what we think is effective in practice and games, and when somebody gets over that in a game, then you’ve got to find a way to get back down to what we think allows them to be effective on game day. “They’re over that right now.” Gundy, always one to use complex formulas to make sure his players are in top physical shape for the duration of a long season, cut down on running and practice time leading up to the trip to Ames. Even in last week’s 66-6 romp at Texas Tech, Gundy left Weeden in the game well into the third quarter to avoid the risk of short drives by the second-team offense that would put the OSU defense right back on the field. But against the Cy-

clones, the Cowboy defense resembled a bigleague hurler who had gone over his pitch count, turning out a solid performance but fizzling late in the contest as ISU pulled off the 37-31 upset. Of course, the OSU defense is used to spending plenty of time on the field this season. Baylor ran 105 plays against OSU last month, yet the Cowboys won by 35 points. OSU ranks last in the Big 12 in time of possession (26:59). But the reason for the extended play for the defense is usually because the Cowboy offense is scoring quickly and scoring often. And the game has often become lopsided early in the second half, meaning that the firstteam defense has rarely been asked to play a full game this season. That wasn’t the case Friday, as the OSU offense sputtered to its worst performance of the season. The Cowboys had five turnovers and four punts. They scored only 17 offensive points in regulation and zero after the first possession of the third quarter. They had eight drives in regulation that were five plays or less and ran 25 less plays than ISU. Without OSU’s normal

pile of points, the defense could not hold for four quarters and two overtimes. Though it did give the Cowboys a chance to win in regulation when an Alex Elkins interception and personal foul put the ball at the ISU 29 with 3:17 to go in the fourth quarter before Quinn Sharp missed a 37-yard field goal

with 1:17 remaining. The bye week comes at a premium time for the Cowboys following the stunning defeat that likely knocked them out of the national title race. Players and coaches will be able to reflect and grieve after the tragic plane crash that killed OSU women’s basketball coach Kurt

Budke, assistant Miranda Serna and two others. There will be extra time for film study and game planning for Bedlam. Everyone will get a break for Thanksgiving. And the OSU defense, which is on pace to surpass last season’s mark of 1,069 snaps, will finally get some much-needed rest.

OSU’s loss to Iowa State was a ‘perfect storm’ led to a lengthy benching, removing one of the offense’s premier playmakers, and turning OSU’s offense one-dimensional.

QB QUANDARY

Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads called his team’s 37-31 toppling of the second-ranked Cowboys “a perfect storm.” And he’s right, with certain conditions all coming together in Ames to create an atmosphere ripe for the upset. By night’s end, they were calling it the greatest win in Cyclones history — ISU’s first win over a team ranked sixth or higher in history. “This was another historic victory for Iowa State,” said Rhoads. And it was a devastating loss for OSU, which saw national championship and Heisman dreams absorb a major blow. Here is a look at five key factors in the upset:

TURNOVERS The Cowboys have lost nine fumbles for the season. Joseph Randle’s re-

sponsible for four in the past two weeks. Randle’s sudden struggles continued Friday, when coughed up two balls that halted OSU possessions prematurely. Factor in three Brandon Weeden interceptions, including on in the second overtime, and the Pokes played giveaway more than their usual takeaway. “Ball didn’t bounce our way at times,” Weeden said. Too many times.

KICKING CONCERNS Annually one of the nation’s best at special teams, the Cowboys suffered collapses on three key plays in the kicking game. 1) After driving for a touchdown on the opening possession of the second half, boosting its lead to 24-7 and hinting at a blowout, OSU’s kickoff team surrendered a 50yard kickoff return to the Cyclones’ Jarvis West. Working with a short field,

ISU redshirt freshman Jared Barnett didn’t always look pretty, but he was effective, producing 460 yards of total offense. As a runner, he gave the Cowboys fits. And when OSU tried to pressure him with blitzes, defenders often raced right at him, allowing him to make one move and flee for big yards.

ISU moved quickly to a touchdown that restored confidence. 2) Immediately after that score, the Cyclones boldly went with an onside kick, and recovered. They didn’t fully capitalize, fumbling the ball away. But the effort amped up the crowd and announced to the Cowboys that they weren’t backing down. 3) Despite all that went wrong for OSU, it still had a chance to win with Quinn Sharp setting up for a 37-yard field goal late in

regulation. Sharp’s kick missed — barely — and allowed the Cyclones to get into overtime.

GROUNDED OSU’s run game managed but 60 yards on 18 carries — a 3.3 average per rush, compared to its 5.2 average entering the game. Needless to say, the offensive line didn’t have a great day. The Cowboys’ longest run from scrimmage: 10 yards. Randle’s fumbles

ELECTRIC ATMOSPHERE The postgame scene, with students and fans flooding the field in celebration, provided a stunning visual, painting the excitement of what the win meant for Iowa State. That was only a taste of what Jack Trice Stadium represented all night, with a raucous crowd singing and swaying and roaring throughout. The crowd was a factor, more than A&M or any other place the Cowboys have played this season.

MURRAY BECOMING A WORKHORSE

BY BLAIR KERKHOFF The Kansas City Star

TULSA — At 6 a.m. Friday, Eddie Sutton got word that Oklahoma State women’s basketball coach Kurt Budke and assistant Miranda Serna had died in an airplane crash, and the familiar grief returned. “It brings back a flood of bad memories,” Sutton said. Memories of that snowy night nearly 11 years ago when a small plane carrying 10 members of the Cowboys’ men’s basketball program, including two players, crashed into a Colorado field. There were no survivors. “It’s why I tell my three sons that when they wake up every day be thankful for what they have,” Sutton said. That bit of advice comes from a deep well of coaching wisdom. In 36 years as a major-college coach, Sutton’s teams won 804 games. He was the first coach to take four different teams to the NCAA Tournament, one of few to guide two different programs to a Final Four. And for all of these achievements, Sutton will be honored tonight, along with seven others, with induction into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame in Kansas City.

Dave Smith

PROFESSION: OSU CROSS COUNTRY COACH AGE: 42 HOMETOWN: OLYMPIA, WASH.

INTERVIEWED BY GINA MIZELL, GMIZELL@OPUBCO.COM

Dave Smith spent his childhood summers backpacking through the mountains of Washington with his father and considered becoming a park ranger or working for the forest service while running cross country and studying fisheries and wildlife at Michigan State in the early 1990s. Then, Smith realized he loved being immersed in college athletics and that he wanted to coach. After four years as the head men’s and women’s cross country coach at Texas Tech, Smith joined the Oklahoma State staff in 2002, eventually replacing longtime coach Dick Weis in 2006 and later becoming the director of track and field and cross country. He was named the USTFCCCA Midwest Region Coach of the Year for the fifth time in six seasons last week. This week, Smith will attempt to lead the OSU men’s cross country team to its third consecutive NCAA title. As a kid, I did everything. I wrestled, played baseball, basketball, football, ran track. It wasn’t until I got to middle school P.E. and we had a little cross country race …and beat the seventh- and eighth-graders and then realized, ‘Oh, maybe I can do this.’ I probably didn’t run as well as I should have (at Michigan State) because I was always exhausted by the end of the season. One of the things we really incorporate into our program here is just it’s not always about how hard you can run and how fast you can run, but how hard you should run, which is usually different. Our training is much more conservative here. I think

we put a high emphasis on getting guys to the starting line feeling fresh and ready to go. My last year of my Ph.D (at the University of Washington), I started volunteering with the track and cross country programs, just because I wanted to be back around that. Then an opportunity came up right as I was graduating to go to Texas Tech and coach. My intention was to go there for one year and coach and then get back to work, and the rest is history. Went for a year, it became four, and then I got the opportunity here. Every meet (Texas Tech) went to that (Weis) was there, I’d go find him and sit and talk to him and listen to his stories and pick his brain as much as I could and got to know him pretty well. Then at some point, he

got the opportunity to hire an assistant and contacted me. Watching (Weis) and watching reactions of some of the athletes to him, I kind of started to figure out it’s more about the relationships with your athletes and how they feel about themselves, the program (and) each other that kind of determines how well they do. Every year, I think I get a group that I like better than the group before. Maybe it’s because they’re the current group, or maybe it’s because we’re getting better at sort of recruiting kids that aren’t only good athletes but really fit what we’re trying to do and fit personalitywise. Everybody asks me (about the first national championship) and says, ‘That must have been fun.’

It really wasn’t. That whole year wasn’t fun. I went into the year with the mindset, ‘This is it. This is the window.’ I think we all ran that season pretty tight and thinking, not that we have an opportunity. This is going to be fun. Let’s enjoy it. Let’s go get it done. It was more, ‘We have to do it now.’ We won, but really, the feeling was just relief. I was like ‘Thank goodness it’s over. I’m done, I can go to Hawaii,’ which I did. The following year, I said, ‘I’m not going through that again.’ We’re going to change this. We’re going to go out and work hard and run the best we can and we’re going to be competitive, and whatever happens on the race day happens. We’re going to do our thing the way we do it well, and just let the chips fall where they may. It was a much better experience. We won by a ton. We were light and kind of loose the whole year. I’m much better now at realizing that once the gun goes off, there’s not a lot you can do to change the outcome. You can see them at various times on the course and you can say things to, I think, really keep the anxiety level down and help the guys stay poised. I think that’s the more important thing. We haven’t been as dominant this year as we were last year. There’s a team out there, Wisconsin, that is much better than the teams we were facing last year, I think. In fact, they’re ranked No. 1, and deservedly so. They’re a really good team. But, like I told my guys, I would rather lose with the guys I’ve got now than win with anybody else.

OU FALLS TO TEXAS A&M

NBA LOCKOUT Q&A Recent developments, or a lack thereof, have led to many questions surrounding the 2011-12 NBA season. However, with no collective bargaining agreement in place, there are few answers. Not only does the CBA determine basketball related income (BRI), salary caps, escrow and tax arrangements, it also structures the NBA Draft, free agency, training camps, waiver periods, rookie salary scales, minimum age requirements, et al. With that in mind, we can provide partial answers to a few questions: What will be the 2012 NBA draft order if there is no 2011-12 season? Without a new CBA, there will be no draft. Nor will there be a draft combine or private workouts for prospects. With no CBA, any contact whatsoever with potential NBA players is not allowed. If the 2011-12 season is lost but a new CBA eventually is found, one possible solution would be for the NBA to use a weighted-lottery format similar to what the NHL utilized after it lost the 2004-05 season to a labor dispute. The entire NHL Draft order was determined by a lottery that tilted the percentages for each team based on playoff appearances over the previous three seasons and first overall picks over the previous four seasons. A potential NBA formula would be to rank the 30 teams in order based on their aggregate winning percentage for the last five regular seasons (or the last three regular seasons) and then determine the top 14 picks by lottery, as usual. In addition, the 2005 NHL Draft used a "snake" format, meaning the draft order was reversed for the following round as a com-

promise to those who felt all teams should have had an equal chance for the lottery. Does the clock stop on 2011-12 contracts? Will players be paid in 2012-13 what they were supposed to be paid in 201112? If the 2011-12 season is canceled, those salaries are gone. Anyone whose contract expires in 2012 will become a free agent and join the 2011 class of free agents. (Of course, players and owners could adjust this in their new CBA.) If the contract clock continues to move and the 2011-12 season is wiped clean, this speeds up things considerably for the Thunder, which had the league’s most secure roster in 2011-12 with only two unsigned players in restricted free agent Daequan Cook and first-round draft choice Reggie Jackson. Russell Westbrook becomes a restricted free agent in 2012, while Nazr

Mohammed, Nate Robinson and Royal Ivey will be unrestricted free agents. On deck for 2013 are the expiring rookie contracts of James Harden, Serge Ibaka, Eric Maynor and Byron Mullens, plus a team option on Cole Aldrich. What will happen with the league’s age minimum? In the previous CBA, the age requirement was 19 and one year removed from a player’s high school graduating class. The league wants the minimum age to increase to 20. Players prefer it remain at 19, or possibly revert back to the same year as a player’s high school graduating class. This will be determined in the new CBA. Will the 2011-12 NBA Developmental League season be held? Yes. The preseason got underway Thursday. However, no player affiliated with an NBA team is eligible to compete until a new CBA is in place. Thunder

affiliations include Robert Vaden, Latavious Williams, DeVon Hardin, Larry Owens and Zabian Dowdell. If there is no 2011-12 season, will any NBA teams potentially fold? Though there is no player payroll during a lockout, franchises still have significant expenses for staff salaries and dayto-day operations. Some teams also owe on facilities and monstrous interest on debt. “I wouldn’t be surprised to see at least one team go under if just one season is missed,” CBA guru Larry Coon has said. Do teams still get paid during a lockout in terms of broadcast rights and sponsorship deals? Teams continue to get their national TV revenue, with a portion rebated for any games missed. If allotted games on the TV schedule are not made up, teams will have to pay the money back with interest. Sponsorship deals vary from team to team. How much will broadcast partners suffer without NBA games? According to a story in Adweek, ESPN/ABC Sports and TNT stand to lose up to $1.25 billion in ad sales revenue if the entire 2011-12 season is canceled. Can NBA players collect unemployment? Yes, believe it or not. Laws vary from state to state, but in most cases players became eligible on Tuesday when they missed their first paycheck of the season. Presumably, lining up for government assistance is not the image the players’ union wants to project. Then again, there no longer is an NBA players’ union. Sources: NBA, ESPN and HoopsWorld

NFL RB becoming a workhorse COMMENTARY | MURRAY HAS HAD PLENTY OF CARRIES SINCE BECOMING A STARTER BY RICK GOSSELIN The Dallas Morning News

DALLAS — The kid is breaking one Hall of Famer’s records and is being mentioned by the team owner in the same breath with another Hall of Famer. Barely two months into his NFL career, DeMarco Murray is already inviting comparisons to local legends Emmitt Smith and Eric Dickerson. But what Murray has done the last four weeks with his hands on the football has been both remarkable and surprising — at least to those of us south of the Red River. But those north of the Red River have seen all of this before from Murray. Murray sprinted 91 yards for a touchdown against St. Louis in his first game as a feature back in the NFL last month. The folks north of the Red River saw him bolt 92 yards for a score last season against Utah State. Murray broke Smith’s single-game, franchise rushing record with 253 yards that Sunday afternoon against the Rams. The folks north of the Red River saw him slap a 200yard rushing game that Saturday afternoon on Utah State. Murray has been a workhorse since taking over as the focal point of the Cowboys offense, cradling at least 20 handoffs in three of those four games. The folks north of the Red River witnessed his durability last season with five games of 25-plus carries. Third-round draft picks aren’t supposed to make this kind of splash this early in their NFL careers. But the folks north of the Red River knew Murray wasn’t your everyday third-round draft pick. His achievements are merely his capabilities. “I can’t say what he’s done really surprises us,” Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said. “We all knew what a quality player he was. At different times he did all of this at a different level for us. “I’ve seen him have big runs for us here. I’ve seen him have big days for us here. I’ve seen him catch the ball, pick up blitzes and be physical. I hadn’t seen

But I’m riding the train known as the Packers until it gets derailed, which may not happen for a while.

COWBOYS AT REDSKINS I When: Noon Sunday. I Where: FexExField, Landover, Maryland. I TV: KOKH-25 (Cox 12/HD 712, UVerse 25/HD 1025, DirecTV 25, Dish 25). I Radio: KGHM-AM 1340

him do it all at the professional level — but no one had.” Those folks north of the Red River know a little something about running backs. Steve Owens and Billy Sims both won Heisman Trophies at Oklahoma and became firstround NFL draft picks and Pro Bowlers. Sims was the very first selection of his draft. Joe Washington, Elvis Peacock, David Over-

street, Steve Sewell and Adrian Peterson all left Norman as first-round NFL draft picks. Washington became a Pro Bowler and Peterson an NFL rushing champion. When the Oklahoma folks say a running back is special, the NFL ought to listen. “We all knew DeMarco would be a great pro because of how versatile he is and how strong he is,” Stoops said. That’s what’s puzzling. Murray is exactly what the NFL covets in a running back. He has the size (5-11, 215 pounds), speed (4.39 40 at his campus workout) and major-college productivity. He gained more yards and scored more touchdowns than any player in Oklahoma’s illustrious history. Yet 70 players, including five running backs, were selected before Murray last April. Now Murray leads all rookie rushers with 674

yards this season — almost double that of his closest competitor. That’s no surprise to the folks north of the Red River. They knew what the Cowboys were getting when they drafted Murray. They also know Murray has so much more to offer than what the Cowboys have seen thus far. The Cowboys have barely tapped Murray’s skills in the passing game. He set Oklahoma records for running backs with 71 receptions in 2010 and 1,571 career receiving yards. He had a 10-catch game against Colorado, 143 receiving yards against Texas A&M and a 76-yard reception against Baylor. Murray has caught only 15 passes for the Cowboys with a long of only 17 yards. So Murray has more to give — and those of us south of the Red River are eager to see him give it.

NFL NOTEBOOK

Vick won’t play against Giants Michael Vick has to watch his teammates play from home. Vick won’t play when the Philadelphia Eagles visit the New York Giants on Sunday because of two broken ribs. He won’t even be on the sideline because injured players typically don’t make the trip. Vince Young will make his first start for Philadelphia in Vick’s place. He’s thrown one pass this season — an interception. Vick didn’t practice this week because he broke his two lower ribs on the second play in a 21-17 loss to Arizona last Sunday. He got up slowly after taking a hard hit to the side, but didn’t tell anyone the extent of the injury and played the rest of the game. He was off target most of the game and finished 16 of 34 for 128 yards and two interceptions. Vick was listed as questionable on Friday’s injury report, but was ruled out after Saturday’s walkthrough. Wide receiver Jeremy Maclin also won’t play because of shoulder and hamstring injuries. The Eagles (3-6) desperately need a victory

Philadelphia quarterback Michael Vick will not play against the New York Giants on Sunday. AP PHOTO over the first-place Giants (6-3) to avoid being allbut-mathematically eliminated from playoff contention. The defending NFC East champions began this season with Super Bowl aspirations, but have failed to live up to those enormous expectations. Vick’s inconsistency is among the reasons the Eagles have underachieved. Vick has hardly resembled the guy who was an MVP candidate and Pro Bowl starter last season. He’s already thrown 11 interceptions in nine games. He had six picks all of last season. Young was 30-17 as a starter and went to two Pro Bowls in five seasons with the Tennessee Titans. He was one of sever-

al high-profile players Philadelphia signed after the lockout. So far, Young’s only contribution was labeling the Eagles a “Dream Team” at his first news conference at training camp. It’s been a nightmare season instead. Second-year pro Riley Cooper will likely start in Maclin’s place. Cooper doesn’t have any catches this season.

PANTHERS’ SHOCKEY RULED OUT FOR SUNDAY Carolina Panthers tight end and former Ada star Jeremy Shockey did not make the trip to Detroit and has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Lions.

Shockey has 24 receptions for 311 yards and one touchdown this season. This is the first game he’s missed. Greg Olsen will start for the Panthers and Ben Hartsock is expected to see more playing time with Shockey out of the lineup. Linebacker Dan Connor’s status remains questionable after he missed the entire week of practice with a shoulder injury.

VETERAN KICKER GRAHAM SIGNS WITH DOLPHINS Veteran kicker Shayne Graham has signed with the Miami Dolphins, and he’ll be active Sunday against Buffalo if ailing kicker Dan Carpenter is unavailable. Carpenter was listed as questionable after straining his right groin in practice Thursday. Graham, an 11-year veteran, kicked most recently last season for New England. He appeared in eight games and made all 12 of his field-goal tries. To make room on the roster Saturday for Graham, the Dolphins released defensive back Jonathan Wade. FROM WIRE REPORTS

I When: Noon. I Line: Lions by 7; O/U: 47.5. The Lions, formerly an ATS darling, have fallen on tough times and has lost (and not covered) three of their last four games. The Panthers might be the perfect remedy for the Lions: Carolina has lost 11 straight road games, the NFL’s longest active streak.

JAGUARS (3-6) AT BROWNS (3-6) I When: Noon. I Line: Browns by 1; O/U: 34.5. Congrats to Tim the Jets fan from Long Island, who outpicked me in last week’s games. Well done, sir! The Browns are a putrid 1-8-2 ATS in their last 11 home games.

BILLS (5-4) AT DOLPHINS (2-7) I When: Noon. I Line: Dolphins by 2; O/U: 43. OK, I get that the Bills have lost and not covered two straight games. But this line is a headscratcher. Maybe because Buffalo is 3-7 ATS in its last 10 vs. AFC East foes. But the Bills are 9-4-1 ATS in their last 14 vs. the Fins.

CHARGERS (4-5) AT BEARS (6-3) I When: 3:15 p.m. I On the air: KWTV-9 (Cox 10). I Line: Bears by 3.5; O/U: 45. Remember back in 2007 when current Bears QB Jay Cutler was with Denver and got into an onthe-field jawing match with Chargers QB Philip Rivers? Cutler and the Bears have had the better of it recently, while Rivers has already thrown 15 INTs, which ties his season-high.

TITANS (5-4) AT FALCONS (5-4) I When: 3:15 p.m. I Line: Falcons by 6; O/U: 44. I On the air: WWLS-AM 640/98.1 FM. They’ll be talking about Falcons coach Mike Smith’s fourth-down, overtime decision in Atlanta for a long time (I said at the time they should have punted). The Titans are 6-13 ATS vs. teams with a winning record, while Atlanta is 18-5 ATS in its last 23 games following a loss.

CARDINALS (3-6) AT 49ERS (8-1) I When: 3:05 p.m. I Line: 49ers by 9.5; O/U: 40.5. Niners coach Jim Harbaugh doesn’t like that his QB Alex Smith has been labeled a “game manager” a la Trent Dilfer. Just call Smith and the Niners “winners.”

SEAHAWKS (3-6) AT RAMS (2-7) I When: 4:05 p.m. I Line: Rams by 2; O/U: 39. Seattle is 5-1-1 ATS in its last seven games overall, and 7-1 ATS in its last eight games vs. the Rams. Works for me.

EAGLES (3-6) AT GIANTS (6-3) I When: 7:20 p.m. Sunday. I Line: Giants by 4; O/U: 46.5. I On the air: KFOR-4 (Cox 4)/WWLS-AM 640/ 98.1 FM. The Giants showed me a lot in San Fran last week. They played a solid Niners club (and an outstanding defense) toe-to-toe without starting RB Ahmad Bradshaw. The G-Men now have the chance to go 2-1 in their difficult six-game stretch, and exorcise a demon in the form of the Eagles and DeSean Jackson.

CHIEFS (4-5) AT PATRIOTS (6-3) I When: 7:30 p.m. Monday. I Line: Patriots by 15; O/U: 46.5. I On the air: ESPN (Cox 29).

HIGH SCHOOL NOTEBOOK

McGuinness inducts five McGuinness High School inducted five new members into the school’s Athletic Hall of Fame on Nov. 12. Terrance Crawford, who helped the Irish to three consecutive Class 4A state titles in 1998-2000, was among those inducted. Crawford went on to help Oklahoma State to the 2004 Final Four. Other inductees included Ricky Manning, Marco DeGiusti, Amanda Van Straten (formerly Amanda Jordan) and coach Virgil Grantham. The 1989 boys basketball state title team was also honored at the ceremony. Van Straten won the 1,600-meter race at the state track meets in 2001, 2000 and 1998 and the 3,200 in 2001 and 1998. She still holds the state finals record for the 3,200.

DAVENPORT ROLLS INTO SEMIFINALS The Miller brothers were at it again on Friday night in leading Davenport to a 60-40 win over Gans and a spot in the Class B semifinals. Quarterback Matt Miller scored four rushing touchdowns and threw two more as the Bulldogs rolled up 574 total yards of offense. Mike Miller had a rushing touchdown and a receiving TD as well, with Kevin Thomas adding a pair of scores as well. Davenport (12-0) will face Kiefer (11-1) at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Bristow.

Wayne, Minco ready for another showdown BY SCOTT WRIGHT Staff Writer swright@opubco.com

They met in Week 2 of the regular season, and now they’ll meet again in a huge playoff rematch on Friday. But it’s not the one you’re thinking of. Sure, the focus of Oklahoma playoff football will be on Jenks and Tulsa Union, but the Class A quarterfinals are set up with a showdown that sends Minco to Wayne on Friday night in a series that has provided some intense games the last two seasons. “I guess you could say we’ve been waiting all year, hoping for a rematch with Minco,” Wayne quarterback Sam Martin said. “It adds to the motivation we already have to be playing in the quarterfinals.

CLASS A QUARTERFINALS: MINCO (12-0) AT WAYNE (11-1) I When: 7:30 p.m. Friday I Where: Wayne High School I Noteworthy: This game features a matchup of two of Class A’s top running backs. Minco’s Jacob Smart has rushed for 1,702 yards and 31 touchdowns, while Wayne’s Josh Way has 2,218 yards and 32 TDs.

Minco is 12-0 and Wayne is 11-1, with its only loss a 29-20 setback at Minco in the second week of the season. The last two years, the series has produced intense games, and the playoffs will ratchet things up a notch. “The last two years have been great games,” Minco coach Clint Warren said. “We respect each other a lot, and those have been hard-fought games.

First Penn State. Now Syracuse. Concerned that allegations of child sex abuse in two big college sports programs could trigger more cases around the country, universities are urging employees to reread their school’s reporting policies, while more closely scrutinizing the people who work in their athletic departments. Those reminders were circulating even as news of the scandals kept unfolding. On Friday, the NCAA notified Penn State it would investigate the school for lack of institutional control resulting from the child sex abuse allegations against Joe Paterno’s former assistant coach, Jerry Sandusky. The evening before, Syracuse placed basketball coach Jim Boeheim’s top assistant, Bernie Fine, on leave after old allegations resurfaced that he molested two former ball boys. Sandusky and Fine each have denied the accusations against them. In his letter to Penn State, NCAA president Mark Emmert restated a message that schools have been receiving simply by watching the news. “It is critical that each campus and the NCAA as an Association re-examine

how we constrain or encourage behaviors that lift up young people rather than making them victims,” Emmert wrote. Earlier this week at Michigan, president Mary Sue Coleman wrote an open letter to the university community reminding people to call 911 or the police department if they see a crime in progress. “This is a chance to remind one another that a community’s values are lived out in the actions of each of us as individuals,” she wrote. At St. John’s, athletic director Chris Monasch said the incidents offered a good opportunity to emphasize to staffers “that if there is an issue that’s inappropriate you have to deal with it immediately.”

“A cover-up only makes it more severe,” Monasch said. “Certainly, we do background checks on the people we hire for summer camps and those types of things. We’re trying to take precautions, but I don’t know how you can prepare for some of those things.” At North Carolina State, athletic director Debbie Yow asks athletes to anonymously complete a thorough survey that includes a question asking if an athletic staff member ever engaged in inappropriate contact. “I think in this case it was something that was so new, a new type of allegation,” Yow said. “You’re used to someone saying players are gambling or there’s alcohol abuse or

there was a fight in the parking deck or any number of things like that — an NCAA violation, extra benefits. The list is very long that we know about and we try to protect against. This was a new type of issue I don’t believe that was on the radar of athletics administrators.” John Burness, the former longtime vice president of public affairs at Duke, said there could be a “safety in numbers,” element for victims who keep details of their abuse quiet, but suddenly see a chance to seek justice. “I’m not surprised, nor would I be surprised, if we saw people coming forward now to make allegations,” Burness said. “Because it could be more comfortable to do so. That shouldn’t be discouraged. It should be encouraged. At the same time, we have to realize that every allegation is not necessarily true.” At a couple of smaller schools where sports aren’t as big a focus, leaders nevertheless used the latest episodes to put a sharper point on their reporting policies. “We all need an immediate reality check,” Southern Baptist Theological Seminary president R. Albert Mohler Jr., wrote in a letter first reported by The Chronicle of Higher Education.

NASCAR SPRINT CUP: FORD 400

Edwards qualifies first, Stewart is 15th BY JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

HOMESTEAD, Fla. — Tony

Stewart has run his mouth for almost a month trying to rattle Carl Edwards in the race to NASCAR’s championship. Edwards has tuned it all out, and on Saturday he did his talking on the track. Edwards won the pole for Sunday’s season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway, where the Sprint Cup Series championship will be decided. Edwards goes into the race with a three-point lead over Stewart, who qualified 15th. One of the two will bring an official end to Jimmie Johnson’s record five-year run, and the pole-winning run seemed to indicate Edwards is on pace. Is it all lining up for Edwards to win his first Cup title? “I don’t know that I believe in fate, but I do believe that things happen for a reason,” Edwards said. “I do believe that whatever you encounter you have to treat as if that’s just the way it’s supposed to be. But, yeah, this is go-

ing really well so far and, hopefully, this helps us all race. We didn’t need to qualify poorly, get a poor pit stall, have some little thorn in our side the whole race, so this will hopefully help us for the whole event.” But Stewart, a two-time champion, cautioned there’s still 400 miles to be run. “Don’t start etching his name on the trophy yet,” said Stewart, who is bidding to become the first owner/driver to win the title since Alan Kulwicki in 1992. “I’m excited about it. I’m not known to be much of a qualifier, so 15th, I’m pretty content.” Edwards turned a lap at 175.467 mph in his Roush Fenway Racing Ford, besting Martin Truex Jr. and Kasey Kahne, winner last week at Phoenix. Kurt Busch qualified fourth and was followed by Penske Racing teammate Brad Keselowski, Edwards teammate Matt Kenseth and Jeff Gordon. Greg Biffle, another Edwards teammate, qualified eighth while Johnson and Denny Hamlin rounded out the top 10.

Stewart’s lap for the 15th starting spot was 173.332 mph in a Chevrolet. He and Edwards had decidedly different strategies during Saturday’s two practice sessions. Rain washed out all Cup activity on Friday, so Edwards and Stewart had to get the most of their 2½ hours on the track. In the first session, Edwards ran 49 laps and his 10-lap average ranked second overall. Stewart ran 30 laps and ranked third in

SNU eliminated from playoffs FROM STAFF REPORTS

OLATHE, Kan. — Rotating

quarterbacks Tyler Herl and Sean Ransburg combined for four rushing touchdowns Saturday, and No. 4-ranked Mid-America Nazarene eliminated No. 14 Southern Nazarene 40-28 in a first-round NAIA football playoff game. Southern Nazarene finished its season 9-3, winning its most games in the football program’s history and qualifying for the postseason for the first time. Saturday’s game marked the only time SNU will participate in the NAIA playoffs. The Bethany school begins a two-year probationary period the next academic year as part of moving up to NCAA Division II. The Crimson Storm will not be eligible for postseason play the next two years. Mid-America Nazarene (10-1) never trailed in a game that produced a cumulative 880 yards offense. The Pioneers led 20-7 at halftime and extended that to 27-7 in the third quarter before SNU made a comeback. Quarterback Brady Wardlaw threw a 5-yard touchdown to David Balenseifen late in the third quarter and a 64yarder to Jared Martin early in the fourth to draw the Storm within 27-21. But Mid-America’s two QBs generated two scoring drives in the fourth quarter that sent the Pioneers to

the next round. The loss ended the stellar career of Wardlaw, who

will go down as the best quarterback in school history thus far. The Okeene High product set several school passing and total offense records. But it was a bittersweet end Saturday as Wardlaw threw for 295 and four touchdowns — but he was picked off four times and lost one fumble. Former Putnam City North standout Dantren Anderson starred on defense for Mid-America Nazarene. He had a teambest nine tackles; two sacks; three total tackles for negative yards; and a forced fumble. The Pioneers beat SNU twice this season.

10-lap average. But in the second session, Edwards’ crew chief Bob Osborne switched the No. 99 into qualifying trim, and Edwards ran only three laps, logging the fastest lap of the day. “We ran the first practice completely in race trim and we felt the best strategy for us was to focus on race trim there, and then focus on qualifying trim the second practice,” Edwards said. He said he cut a tire during the run,

which might have been a blessing because it ended their session and “probably helped us from tuning the thing out of contention.” Stewart had a very busy second session, running 52 more laps and logging in at ninth overall in 10-lap average, and he was confident he had the better strategy. “They’re either going to look like geniuses doing it or not,” he said of Edwards’ strategy. “You look at how many laps we ran, we spent a lot of time trying to find the combination for race trim. We got the one-lap deal out of the way, now we have to worry about the 400 miles.” Edwards said he never checked Stewart’s practice strategy, and didn’t even

SPORTS/SCOREBOARD

Sutton: Enters hall somber after another OSU tragedy FROM PAGE 7B

of Eddie Sutton are the events that have created perhaps the fullest life of anybody who has ever taken a courtside seat. He turned losing programs into winners, and battled alcohol and painkiller addictions. His teams went to the three Final Fours, and one received the hammer of NCAA probation, which forced Sutton to depart in disgrace. He’s one of eight coaches with at least 800 majorcollege career victories, and the only one who had to notify families of loved ones who perished in an airplane crash. “I don’t know anybody in coaching who has experienced everything Coach Sutton has,” said Nebraska coach Doc Sadler, who became his team manager and assistant coach at Arkansas. “I don’t know if anybody else could have lived through everything he has.” A career that covers stops at Creighton, Arkansas, Kentucky, Oklahoma State and San Francisco and nearly took him to Duke and Kansas State started early enough that Sutton helped integrate a program. A future United States president became one of his biggest fans, and he calls his greatest stroke of fortune his wife of 53 years, Patsy. This narrative of triumph and tragedy, of heartache and second chances, sounds like something pulled from a Johnny Cash album. As Sutton, 75, looked back over his life in basketball from his office in Tulsa, the bottom-line thought is a simple one. “I’ve been blessed,” he said. *** Jump off at the exit ramp at any point in Sutton’s timeline, and there’s something fascinating to see. Like most of the state, University of Arkansas law professor Bill Clinton was swept up in the fever pitch that was the Razorbacks’ run to the Final Four in 1978. The team was led by The Triplets — Sidney Moncrief, Marvin Delph and Ron Brewer — and coached by Sutton. The Clintons and Suttons remained friends through Bill’s rise in state politics. Sutton’s three young children, Steve, Scott and Sean passed out campaign flyers in their Fayetteville neighborhood. WhenClintonwas running for president in 1992, he put a call in to his friend, now at Oklahoma State. “It was the final weeks of the campaign, and I told him not to go into a delay

game, to put on a fullcourt press,” Sutton said. “And the next thing you know I started hearing that in his speeches.” When the Clintons moved into the White House, the Suttons were frequent guests. Eddie and Patsy made four visits, and Eddie reminded his old friend, “Don’t forget, there was a time when more people knew me than you.” *** Sutton got sweet-talked into his first college coaching job in 1966. College of Southern Idaho president James Taylor formerly had worked at Cameron, Okla., where KU’s Ted Owens had coached, and Owens recommended Sutton, then the coach at Tulsa Central High. Taylor said he would be in Tulsa and take just 30 minutes. He took four hours, and at the end he gave Sutton enough gas money for Patsy and him to drive to Twin Falls “for a vacation if nothing else,” Sutton remembered. Sutton stopped at a service station outside of the town and asked for the whereabouts of the college, and the attendant looked at him funny while directing him to a building in town. There was a law office, and at the end of a corridor there was Taylor’s office. After some pleasant chatting, Sutton asked to see the college. “I forgot to tell you,” Taylor told the Suttons. “It’s not built yet.” He then flipped over a blueprint of the campus. Sutton said yes, anyway, and the college shared a high school building with classes in session from 410 p.m., and basketball practice ending at 1 a.m. But it worked. Sutton had brought two black players with him from Tulsa — the school’s first and doubling Twin Falls’ population of minorities, Sutton recalled — and went 84-14 in the first three years of the program’s existence. Southern Idaho claims the high-

est historical winning percentage of all junior-college basketball teams. “And I had the worst record of anybody,” Sutton said. A Twin Falls doctor and a Creighton alum steered Sutton toward his first Division I job and he turned the Bluejays into a winner. In his fifth season at Creighton, Sutton got the Bluejays to the NCAA Tournament and lost to Kansas by one point in a 1974 regional semifinal in Tulsa. By then, Sutton was a hot commodity. Duke athletic director Carl James, who would become the Big Eight commissioner, attended the game and persuaded Sutton to interview in Durham, N.C. But Sutton was concerned that not all of the competition in the Atlantic Coast Conference shared Duke’s rigid academic requirements and told James no before an offer was made. Another school had inquired, and Arkansas was prepared to go whole hog into basketball. “Fans had been asking me to build an all-sports program,” said Frank Broyles, the former Arkansas football coach who added the role of athletic director in 1974. “I was determined basketball would make a profit.” Sutton proved Broyles right. In 11 years at Arkansas, Sutton’s teams went 260-75, went to the NCAA Tournament nine straight years, and finished below second in the Southwestern Conference just once. *** Kentucky was a mistake, both sides have said. Sutton and the man at Arkansas who hired him, Broyles, weren’t getting along, and the idea of taking over a storied program such as Kentucky appealed to Sutton on a couple of levels. He emphasized that point with the regrettable line, “I’d crawl to Lexington.” A native of Bucklin,

Kan., Sutton developed a deep appreciation for the game’s roots. He had been recruited by basketball coaching legends in the Midwest — Oklahoma State’s Henry Iba, Kansas’ Phog Allen, Wichita State’s Ralph Miller and Kansas State’s Tex Winter. Now Sutton had a chance to coach a program made famous by another smalltown Kansas native, Adolph Rupp. But after a 32-4 record in his first season in 198586, nothing was easy for Sutton in the Bluegrass State. The Lexington Herald-Leader had just won a Pulitzer Prize for reporting a play-for-pay scandal under previous coach Joe B. Hall, but the NCAA couldn’t get players to confess, so Kentucky wasn’t penalized. The hammer would soon drop in 1989. A package from the Kentucky basketball office addressed to Claude Mills, father of California recruit Chris Mills, was found to have contained $1,000 in cash. The money was discovered when the package from Emery, an overnight delivery service, came open at the company’s facility in Los Angeles. The NCAA determined Wildcats assistant Dwane Casey sent the money and suspended him for five years. Sutton was forced to resign. To this day, he says he’s innocent. “When that happened, it was a set-up,” Sutton said. “Who would send money like that? And an overnight package somehow opens up? You need a crowbar to open those things.” Sutton’s relationship with Casey, who became the Toronto Raptors’ coach in June, never soured, however. “It’s a blip on the radar as far as I’m concerned,” Casey said. “I have nothing but great respect for Coach Sutton. He’s a great teacher, I learned so many defensive fundamentals from him, and a lot of my defensive philosophy comes from him.” Kentucky was banned from postseason play and the NCAA Tournament and docked scholarships. Sutton was out. Rick Pitino was in. “Knowing what I know now,” Sutton said, “I wouldn’t have gone to Kentucky.” *** It wasn’t until Sutton got to Oklahoma State, where he graduated in 1958, that he took his first drink, and it was never a big part of his life until he coached at Kentucky. In 1987, in his second year coaching the Wildcats, Sutton entered the Betty Ford Clinic. Sutton said he was sober for nearly 20 years, but two years of chronic back pain

contributed to a relapse in 2006 while he was coaching at Oklahoma State. Late in the season, he crashed his Dodge Durango into a tree and was charged with aggravated DUI. Sutton turned the reins over to his son, Sean. Sean Sutton took two Oklahoma State teams to the NIT, but was fired after 2008 season, and had suffered from back problems and headaches. He started taking pain killers and got hooked. In February 2010, Sean Sutton was arrested after picking up a shipment under another person’s name that included about 40 pills, including the antianxiety drug clonazepam and two forms of Adderall. But in August, the case against Sean Sutton was dismissed. Today, he’s an assistant coach to his brother, Scott, at Oral Roberts, and like his father has become an active speaker against alcohol and drugs. “They’re horrible diseases,” Eddie Sutton said. “I’ve learned there are very few families that aren’t affected in some away, or know somebody who is affected by addiction. “But I’m so proud of Sean. He’s spoken some 40 times about his experience. He’s helped kids. He’s worked hard at this.” *** In 1990, Sutton was on his way to the airport in Denver where the Final Four was played that year, believing he was on his way to Manhattan to be introduced as Kansas State’s next coach. Former coach Jack Hartman and Mr. K-State himself, Ernie Barrett, had worked it out. Sutton was getting back in the game after the Kentucky scandal, and he was thrilled about the prospect of coaching Kansas State. “But I got a call on the way to the airport saying they were going in a different direction,” Sutton said. “I was disappointed." That was Dana Altman, the former Kansas State assistant, who got the job and who landed at Creighton four years later with a plug from Sutton. But the unexpected happened. Oklahoma State coach Leonard Hamilton shocked his school by leaving for Miami, Fla. The Cowboys asked Sutton to come home and coach his alma mater. Until he died in 1993, Sutton’s old coach, the legendary Henry Iba, would watch practice from the stands. “I couldn’t believe my luck,” Sutton said. Nor the talent on the roster he inherited. The group was led by powerful forward Byron Houston. To a stable of talented guards, the Cowboys added Sean Sutton, who had transferred from Ken-

tucky. In Eddie Sutton’s first year, the Cowboys tied Kansas for the Big Eight championship, and Oklahoma State reached the Sweet 16 in each of his first two years. Not since the Iba years had the Cowboys enjoyed this kind of success. The great teams and players kept coming: Bryant “Big Country” Reeves, Randy Rutherford and the 1995 Final Four team. Tony Allen, the Graham brothers, John Lucas III and the Final Four team of 2004. In its history, Oklahoma State has produced two championship eras, the Iba years of the 1940s and 1950s that included two NCAA championships and two more Final Fours, with Sutton contributing on the back end as a player on the 1958 NCAA Tournament team. And the 16 years of coach Sutton, with 13 NCAA appearances, two Final Fours, three conference tournament and two league titles. *** Sutton wears the lapel pin with the number “10” and orange ribbon every day. On that horrific night of Jan. 27, 2001, the plane carrying Sutton arrived at the Stillwater airport before another carrying 10 members of the team’s traveling party, which shouldn’t have been the case. Sutton’s plane departed later from the airport in Jefferson County, Colo. But the King Air 200 with two players, two pilots, three media members and three administrators had crashed shortly after takeoff, before Sutton’s plane had left the ground. When the news was confirmed, Sutton went into his office to make the telephone calls. This is how nine of the crash victims’ families learned of their loss. The 10th was delivered by Sutton in person. Nothing else that’s happened in Sutton’s basketball life compares to that night. “They were wonderful people, every one of them,” said Sutton, looking away, his voice trailing off. “Every one.” On Thursday, there was another Oklahoma State plane crash. When Budke arrived in Stillwater, he attended Sutton’s practices and took notes. They were friends, a couple of Kansas natives. “We used to joke that we were just a couple of old sodbusters from Kansas,” Sutton said. “Losing him, this is just devastating. I’ll be thinking about him.” Which makes this a weekend that has defined Sutton’s life, a joyful occasion with sadness never far away, as Johnny Cash

OU RECRUITING NOTEBOOK

Jenks’ Ross dazzles in return It hasn’t been as easy year for Jenks running back Alex Ross, who committed to the Sooners in February. First, he suffered an ankle injury in a preseason scrimmage. Not long after getting back to full speed, he broke his collarbone. Friday night, though, Ross returned and proved why he’s one of the most coveted recruits in the state. Ross carried 24 times for 258 yards and three touchdowns in the Trojans’ 48-21 win over Edmond Santa Fe. Two of the scores and 198 of the years came after halftime. “When you’re that talented and you go through the kind of year he’s had, it’s been a hard year for him,” Jenks coach Allan Trimble said. “He was rusty. You could see it. ... To come out and play--not only the performance he had, but just to play--it was very inspiring.”

Littell: Right for the job FROM PAGE 7B

Littell’s coaching resume is impressive. But that isn’t what those who know him say will help him navigate the Cowgirls through this trying time. “He cares so much about the kids he coaches,” said Galen McSpadden, athletic director at Seward County Community College, where Littell had enormous success as head coach during his 14-year run. “The real Jim will come out even more during this tragedy.” Tucker Barnard, Stillwater High School’s football coach who has both of Littell’s sons on his team, doesn’t know Jim Littell the coach. But he does know the man. “His leadership and the relationship he has with kids is going to be really important,” Barnard said. “The high school kids at Stillwater absolutely love him. His house is a really popular hangout for kids on our football team. “I’m sure the girls on the basketball team will be able to lean on him and look to him for strength and leadership.” But beyond that, Littell has to cope with his own pain. His relationship with

Budke has been described as brotherly. “Probably 90 percent of the time I saw Kurt on the road, Jim was there,” said Oral Roberts coach Jerry Finkbeiner. “It was almost on a brothers level.” Budke hired Littell away from Seward County, which he turned into a junior-college power. He posted a 418-61 record, nine conference titles and the 2002 national championship, the school’s only national title in any sport. Perhaps most impressive, though, was his home record. Between 1995 and 2004, Littell’s Saints won 135 straight games at home. “He can coach, and he can recruit,” McFadden said. “He’s a very detailed person ... When he got here, he went beyond what other coaches would do, and that’s why he has our school’s only national championship.” Littell, who was inducted into the National Junior College Athletic Association Hall of Fame in 1999, got his start in 1978 at Kansas’ Oxford High School. Littell’s Oxford team won the 1981 Class 2A state championship. But Littell’s success on the court isn’t why he is the perfect person to take over after such a tragedy,

his friends say. It is his character and his connection with Oklahoma State. “There’s not a better person,” said McSpadden, who hired Littell at Seward County in 1991. “Oklahoma State would be making a mistake if they did not keep him permanently.” OSU president Burns Hargis said he didn’t require Littell to be at Friday morning’s press conference; Littell wanted to be there. He fought through his statement Friday, describing Budke’s love for Oklahoma State. “Every day we would bring a recruit in, he would walk them on the court and say ‘Look at this place. Look at this place. I love this place,’” Littell said with his arms raised. “And he meant it from the heart. “He will not be forgotten, he will not be replaced and I love the man.” Littell loves the university and his players, too. “No other coach coming in would know how to treat those kids better than Jim,” said Washington girls basketball coach Rocky Clarke, who has known Littell for many years. “If there’s anybody that can get them there, it will definitely be him.”

Mourners gather in Stillwater BY JUSTIN JUOZAPAVICIUS Associated Press

STILLWATER — Alumni, students and athletes filed through Oklahoma State University’s basketball arena Saturday to honor the women’s basketball coaches killed this week in a plane crash, recalling how head coach Kurt Budke served as a father figure to many of his players and assistant coach Miranda Serna’s infectious smile. Hundreds of people had signed two large banners laid out in Gallagher-Iba Arena, while about two dozen bouquets of flowers adorned the makeshift memorial inside. Although the school is holding a public memorial service for Budke and Serna on Monday, many people said they wanted to come earlier. “They were really a positive influence on campus,” said OSU junior and wrestler Jordan Oliver. “They were two people who will be dearly loved and missed at this university.” Others described Budke as a committed family man who would strike up conversations with students, and talked about how Serna honored all the mothers in the athletic department with a hand-delivered rose each Mother’s Day. The crash also killed former Oklahoma state Sen. Olin Branstetter and his wife, Paula. The 82-yearold former lawmaker was flying the coaches to a recruiting visit when the small plane crashed Thursday in steep terrain in central Arkansas. Witnesses told investigators they heard an engine sputtering, then saw the plane spiral into the ground. A preliminary report on the accident is ex-

pected next week, though it could take a year or longer to determine what caused the crash, according to the National Transportation Safety Board. “About the only thing we can say right now is that it was not the weather. The skies were clear, the winds were calm,” NTSB investigator Jason Aguilar said Saturday. “The investigation is focusing on the pilot and the airframe. We’re really taking a look at a loss of control.” The Federal Aviation Administration declined comment Saturday, since the NTSB is handling the investigation. Many of the people who turned out Saturday couldn’t shake the similarities of Thursday’s crash with the one in January 2001, when 10 men affiliated with the men’s basketball team died in a plane crash in Colorado. “It’s just devastating that has to happen to us again,” said Sarah Puckett,

who grew up in Stillwater watching women’s basketball games at OSU. The newest crash also opened old wounds for Mike Noteware, who works with the men’s basketball team at OSU and knew four of the 10 victims of the 2001 crash. “It’s one of those things you think are impossible to happen again,” Noteware said after signing one of the banners. Some of the handwritten notes on the banner read, “Heaven just got a bit more orange,” referring to the school’s colors of orange and black. Another mourner wrote: “Two life changers! We’ll never forget.” OSU alumnus John Irons said he didn’t know the victims personally, but that hearing about the accident felt like losing a family member. “It doesn’t take a tragedy to know who they were,” said Irons. “It’s a heartbreak.”

WOMEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL: OU 58, NEW MEXICO 56

High turnovers help OU slide past New Mexico BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALBUQUERQUE — Whitney Hand put back her own miss with 18.6 seconds left to help No. 13 Oklahoma beat New Mexico 58-56 on Saturday. Aaryn Ellenberg scored 14 points and had four steals for the Sooners (2-0), who scored the final three points of the game, overcoming a 56-55 deficit in the last minute. Caroline Durbin, who scored a game-high 16, put the Lobos (0-3) up with a running floater from the lane with 1:35 left. But Ellenberg hit one of two from the line and Hand then got loose in the paint. Her first shot hit the front iron, but the rebound came right back to her and she made the follow. New Mexico had led by 42-32 early in the second half, but Oklahoma used its defense to get back in the game by forcing 23 turnovers, 14 of which came on Sooners’ steals.

STILLWATER — The list of NCAA champions in women’s soccer is comprised of the likes of North Carolina, Notre Dame and Portland. Missing from the list of who have lifted the championship trophy is a team from America’s Heartland. Oklahoma State (21-1-2) is trying to break that trend, and they are doing without players from the recruiting hot spots on either coast. The Cowgirls, the only Big 12 team remaining in the NCAA Tournament, will try to make it to the Elite Eight for the second consecutive season when they host Maryland (125-4) on Sunday. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. Twenty-seven of the 30 players on Oklahoma State’s roster are from Oklahoma, Kansas or Texas. Senior midfielder Annika Niemeier (Germany), who scored the only goal in a 1-0 second round win against Illinois on Friday, is the only starter with a hometown outside of the central time zone. “It’s really important for us to get the best players in the state,” Carmichael said. “We’ve definitely made a push to try to get those kids. We don’t get all of them … but we are getting our share now.” When Carmichael was first named head coach six

years ago, the best from the Sooner state would leave to attend school elsewhere. “You go back eight to nine years ago, they were going out-of-state to Texas A&M, Kansas and Missouri,” Carmichael said. If Oklahoma State wins on Sunday, it will play the winner of the match between Stanford and Boston College. Stanford (22-0-1) is the number one overall seed and is the only team in the country that does not have a loss this season. Maryland is the only team that Stanford did not

HIGH SCHOOL BOYS BASKETBALL NOTEBOOK

Move to 5A has Del City on top The move to Class 5A couldn’t have happened at a more ideal time for Del City. Not only did Tulsa Washington, winner of the last two 5A titles, move up to 6A, the Eagles also return four starters, including one of the better guard units in the state. “We like the challenge of 6A, and we’re still playing the same people,” senior Steffon Herd said. “But being in 5A is exciting. Our strength is our senior leadership and the heart that we’ve got. “We went to state last year and now we know how it feels, so we want to get back and win it.” With the talented guard play of Anthony Holland, Brett Cannon and others on the perimeter, Herd’s play inside will be key. The athletic 6-foot-3 senior has been picking up college interest recently for his play on the football field. Oregon State, Texas Tech and Texas A&M are among the programs that have contacted Herd recently, most seeing him as a receiver or tight end.

NEW ROLE FOR DOUGLASS’ CLARK Last year, Douglass guard Stephen Clark was the most dangerous player on a team filled with good players. This year, he’s the Trojans’ only returning starter and certain to be the primary focus of opposing defenses. But he’s ready to try to get Douglass to a third consecutive 4A state championship while transitioning from shooting guard to point guard. “I’m ready for the challenge, but it’s hard for me to get used to trying to be a leader,” said Clark, a junior who already has scholarship offers from Oklahoma State, Marquette, Vanderbilt and several more. “I got used to being off the ball, just catching and shooting.

But now, I’ve got to try to make everybody else better. “A lot of college coaches want to see me play point guard, so if I can show them I can lead this team, it’ll help me a lot in recruiting.”

WASHINGTON EMBRACING NO. 1 RANKING Some teams feel pressure with a preseason No. 1 ranking, but Larry Johnston’s Washington Warriors have accepted it as an honor. “These guys kind of enjoy that,” Johnston said. “They’d rather be No. 1 than not rated. They embrace that fact and have accepted the challenge. After last year, they’re motivated to get after it and win on that last day. “It’s something they’re proud of and enjoy.” Such an attitude is reflected in the team leaders, Jesse Nixon and Cal Andrews. Both are receiving college attention, with Andrews already holding a scholarship offer from Samford with Tulane, Mercer, Sacramento State and others showing interest.

PRESEASON BOYS ALL-STATE TEAM Despite the attention in the polls and from college recruiters, the Warriors are staying grounded. “I’ve been real happy seeing how much our role players have improved,” Johnston said. “We’ve had a lot of stuff that doesn’t usually go on with Washington boys basketball, but you wouldn’t be able to tell it with these kids. “They’ve stayed very grounded and understand what the big goal is this year.”

NORTHEAST HUNGRY AGAIN A year ago, Northeast reached the Class 3A state championship game, losing to Centennial. Now, under new coach Garland Parks, the Vikings have moved down to Class 2A, where they hope to contend for the gold ball once again. Parks will rely heavily on experienced point guard Gabe Houston, along with 6-foot-4 swingman Caleb Crayton, who has received recruiting attention from Rice and other programs. BY SCOTT WRIGHT

about it,” James Woodard said. “That pushed us even more to try and win one — to keep it in the family.” The idea of sharing his state championship stories never seemed important to James H. Woodard, the boys’ grandfather. But he has cherished the opportunity to let the boys into a special part of his past. “I never did say anything about it. They looked at the scrapbook, and I guess they couldn’t believe it,” James H. said with a laugh. “Then they wanted to know what I did after high school — I played at Central State and I went into the military and played basketball there. “They got interested in all of my history, something you wouldn’t think grandchildren would ask about. It made me go back into my bank of memories to answer their questions. I was really thrilled that they did it.” James H. was on the first Arcadia state championship team in 1958, and the school went on to win three straight from 196466 before it closed. “It was interesting to learn about that,” Jordan said. “I didn’t even know Arcadia had a basketball team back then.

“You always want to be like the elders in your family, follow that legacy, that tradition. As far as I know, our family has always been good athletes, good basketball players. He won a state championship and now, we won one, so we kept it in the blood.” The 1958 Arcadia team lost only one game all season, and 53 years later, James H. saw his grandsons enjoy a one-loss season that ended with a gold ball for Memorial.

James, a 6-foot-3 guard who has signed with Tulsa, averaged 13.5 points per game last season. Jordan averaged 11.2 points at the point guard position, where his play has earned him scholarship offers from Oklahoma and San Francisco. They’ll be key players again this season for the Bulldogs, who begin the year as The Oklahoman’s preseason No. 1 team in Class 6A. As the Woodard broth-

ers turn their focus to a second straight title, they know they have a very proud fan watching from the stands. “Naturally, I’m proud of them,” James H. said. “It tells me their parents did all they could to keep the boys focused on school and keep them busy with athletics. And it paid off. The boys worked hard and kept their heads on straight. “It makes you feel proud.”

1. Del City (19-9) — With four returning starters from a team that reached the 6A state tournament last year, the Eagles have the experience and talent to claim the gold ball. 2.

COMMENTARY

Kemp’s contract first sign of daylight for the Dodgers BY BILL PLASCHKE Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Amid the clutter of a Compton playground, there appeared the deep greens and rich browns of a new baseball field. Sitting next to a pale and thinning Frank McCourt, there appeared a beaming Matt Kemp. At the end of the darkest of Dodgers chapters, there appeared hope. Call it the $160 million metaphor, the Dodgers parading Kemp through a refurbished corner of Compton on Monday while putting the finishing touches on his new eightyear contract that will be the richest and perhaps most important in Dodgers history. The deal probably won’t be officially celebrated until later this week, but Kemp said it all during a speech to fourth- and fifth-graders sitting in the infield dirt at Mona Park’s new Dodger Dreamfield. “You’ve got to stay motivated, stay humble, always work hard,” Kemp said. “It doesn’t happen overnight … but dreams can come true … I’m the living truth.”

The pulse of Monday’s truth was as powerful as Kemp’s words, his new contract representing the first sign that the Dodgers can become the Dodgers again. We don’t know who will own them; we don’t know who will eventually run them; we don’t know what is going to happen to the stadium or the television deal or whether someone will finally figure out the

dang parking lot. But we now know that their best position player will be part of it. “I’m here for the long haul,” he said. We don’t know how the lineup card is going to look; we don’t know whether it can or will be improved; we don’t know whether Don Mattingly will be given more than one more year to fill it out. But we now know that

their leading most-valuable-player candidate and Gold Glove center fielder will be in it, in ink. “The Dodgers gave me a chance to fulfill my dream, now I’m going to give them a chance,” Kemp said. McCourt obviously thought the signing would be a dream for him, too. He seemingly figured the retaining of Kemp would be a nice good-bye gift to fans, and it appeared he was hoping he could announce the signing at the Dreamfield celebration so he could bask in the glory. “I’m now very, very focused on making sure I pass the baton here in a way that is as professional as possible and make sure that I hand off the franchise in better shape than I found it,” McCourt said Monday. But seriously, McCourt is signing Kemp with somebody else’s money. He is signing him because the Dodgers will be a more valuable property with Kemp in the house. “Better shape” means nothing more than a higher asking price. This was not about McCourt. This was not even about Kemp. This was about the Dodgers.

Kemp could have probably made more money playing out the final year of his contract. He could have gone to a baseball team that was not under reconstruction. He could have gone to a media market where baseball wasn’t the second game in town. But even through the smoke and rubble of the last two seasons, he saw that the Dodgers could still be the Dodgers, and $160 million was enough to persuade him to stay. “For me, it’s always been nothing but blue,” he said. “I hope to wear blue to the end of my career.” Imagine that, a rich and famous ballplayer celebrating not just green, but blue. Even after McCourt spray-painted it with greed, somehow that color still shines. This could be just the start. Clayton Kershaw is surely watching. Veteran free agents are surely watching. It’s easier to rebuild with a cornerstone, and now that a cornerstone is staying who knows what cool construction is next? “If this gives the fans hope, that’s good,” said Kemp. Those fans are hoping

that Kemp reacts more diligently to this contract than his last multi-year deal, which team officials believed caused him to slack off two seasons ago. That’s the biggest question. Will he still work hard? Will he still care as much? After watching him last season, my guess is yes. Everything he did seemed more mature, and that’s not even counting his 39 home runs and 126 runs batted in. He was smarter on the field and more of a leader in the clubhouse. “This means I have to keep playing up to my capabilities to get us to the top,” Kemp said. In the meantime, he is nobly trying to reach his capabilities in the community. Kemp agreed to show up at Monday’s Dreamfield celebration even before the contract talks heated up. He seemed genuinely pleased to speak to the children, and patiently sign autographs. McCourt disappeared shortly after the dedication ended. Kemp stayed behind to hang out with the fans. The end of an error. The beginning of hope. MCT Information Services

Sisters boost Shawnee GIRLS BASKETBALL | ADDITION OF THE COOPERS MAKES THE WOLVES THE FAVORITES

Jason Kersey jkersey@ opubco.com

SHAWNEE — When Tay-

lor and McKenzie Cooper moved from Bethel to Shawnee this summer, the Wolves’ team went from contender to favorite in Class 5A. Then came bad news. Forward Caitlyn Ramirez, a Tulsa signee who averaged 13 points and eight rebounds a game last year, suffered an ACL tear during Shawnee’s first scrimmage and will miss her entire senior year. “Our posts are having to pick up a bunch,” Taylor Cooper said. Ramirez’s injury makes the Cooper sisters even more important to Shawnee’s title run. Senior Taylor, an Oral Roberts signee, and sophomore McKenzie Cooper helped lead Bethel to last year’s Class 3A state championship. Taylor Cooper was the 3A state tournament’s most valuable player. “The first thing they bring is the experience,” said Shawnee coach Wendi Wells. “They come in off a team that won state last year, and they’ve both been starters, so you’re bringing in two new starters to your system.” Taylor Cooper brings lots of athleticism — even more than Wells thought she would. “I’ve seen her play a lot of times before, and she’s so much more athletic

than I ever knew,” Wells said. “And McKenzie is a great outside shooter. She’s a fit guard who can battle inside and outside. She doesn’t get pushed around.” The Cooper sisters add

to an already stacked team. Senior Kelsee Grovey averaged 13 points and six rebounds last year. Wells said she was a little worried at first about how everyone would get along, but that she’s been pleasantly surprised.

“That’s been the great thing about this team; they do all get along,” Wells said. “Sometimes this team is too unselfish. Sometimes we’re making too many extra passes, it’s like, ‘You’re wide open; shoot the ball.’”

the state title.” McGuinness opens the season on Nov. 29 at Enid.

New Bishop McGuinness coach Shawn Clark isn’t really all that new. He’s been an assistant with the Irish for 10 years, making for a smooth transition after Jennifer Burch stepped down as coach. Clark inherits the defending Class 5A state champion Irish, but just two of its starters. Seniors Elyse Hight and Kate Andrews are the only two returning starters for McGuinness. Senior Stephanie Milligan will enter the lineup as point guard after playing a significant role for McGuinness off the bench last season. “The good thing about practicing and playing games is that you gain experience,” Clark said. “Hopefully by the time the playoffs come, we’ll be in a good situation and have an opportunity to defend

SEVEN SENIORS LEAD DEFENDING CHAMPION WOLVES Edmond Santa Fe, which won the Class 6A state title last year, has seven seniors on this year’s team. “There will be a lot of leadership,” said senior Courtney Walker. “We’ll need it to get back to where we were last year.” Walker, who signed with Texas A&M, averaged 17.4 points and 7.2 rebounds as a junior.

DEL CITY MOVES DOWN TO 5A Del City, which reached the Class 6A quarterfinals last year, has moved down to Class 5A. Senior guard Toni Smith, a Fresno State signee, said she doesn’t expect it to be any easier. “I know that the compe-

tition won’t go down,” Smith said. “I know some people might think that, but we can’t change the fact that we’re 5A. We just have to bring the heat.” The Eagles return three starters from last year’s team — Smith, senior Mariah Jackson and junior Dionna Collins.

MCCANN TAKES OVER MUSTANG Nikki McCann is set to begin her first season as Mustang’s girls basketball coach after four seasons as Putnam City North’s coach. “I wasn’t planning on leaving North, but I received a phone call and everything fell into place for me,” McCann said. McCann is inheriting a challenge. The Broncos graduated all three starting guards but return forwards Whitney Dunn and Mallory Brothers. “We’re extremely young right now,” McCann said.

Mustang went 12-14 last year and lost in the area round of the playoffs.

FOUR-YEAR ASSISTANT TIMS TAKES OVER PIEDMONT Piedmont, which reached the area round last year, returns three starters off last year’s team and has a new coach. Amanda Tims, who was a Piedmont assistant for the last four seasons, is entering her first year as head coach. Senior Kylie Boggess, who averaged 13 points and three blocks last year, and juniors Sarah Parker and Ashley Almond are Piedmont’s returning starters. Parker, who averaged 11 points and six rebounds as a sophomore, tore her Achilles tendon this summer, Tims said, but has been cleared to return to the court. BY JASON KERSEY

BOSTON — Celtics guard Rajon Rondo led a group of NBA players in the Boston Charity Classic at Harvard on Saturday night in a game that pitted Rondo’s green team against a white team led by Patriots wide receiver Deion Branch. Rondo, Celtics teammate Paul Pierce, and former teammates Kendrick Perkins and Leon Powe were among the 11 NBA players in the game that will benefit three local charities. Jajuan Johnson, Boston’s first-round draft pick out of Purdue last spring, also was also on hand, as were Rudy Gay, Josh Smith and Jeff Green.

When shopping for your children’s holiday gifts, it’s easy to get swept away in the fervor for that hot item that people will spend hours in line to buy. If that’s your child’s dream gift, go for it. But child development expert Kim Mungaven, director of New Horizons Child Development Center in Edmond reminds us that children’s toys can be integral to proper physical development and learning. Choosing toys that stimulate both your child’s natural urges to learn and explore will serve them well and will be a good way to spend your gift-buying cash. For toddlers 2 and under, look for items they can’t destroy by eating, ripping or throwing them. “Toddlers need little things like plastic books, shatterproof mirrors, balls of various sizes,” Mungaven said. For large muscle development, two-step slides and things like plastic rocking boats children can crawl in and on are a good bet. As kids grow into older toddlers and preschoolers, “they’re going to focus a little more on fine motor skills,” she said. For fine motor skill development, art supplies such as

If a technological gadget is at the top of your teenager’s holiday wish list, you’re not alone. Numerous other parents will be hunting for these trendy items to place under the tree for the special teen in their life. Tablets and the iPhone and iPod Touch are ever popular so they make great presents for the young people on your gift list. The iPad 2 (starting at $499) continues to wow as the hippest, must-have tablet around. For those who want to pay a little less for a tablet, there are plenty of others to choose from these days. Choices include Amazon’s new tablet, Kindle Fire, starting at $199; the Dell Streak 7 Honeycomb Android tablet, starting at $299, and the new Nook Tablet, at $249, to name a few. The iPhone, particularly the new iPhone 4, is a hot gift for a teen, as well as the iPod Touch. Prices for the phone vary, depending on your provider and service plan. The iPod Touch generally sells for about $199 for the 8GB and $299 for the 32 GB ... and these are on sale at some stores.

Women often complain that it’s hard to shop for men, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Most guys love home electronics, toys and tools, or some combination of all three. Here are our picks for can’t-miss gifts. I Two of our favorite musical accessories are the Bose AE2i wired headphones and the Jaybird JF3MB Freedom wireless earbuds. The Bose headphones ($179.95 at Best Buy) include a microphone and audio controls to switch from listening to music to talking on the phone with the touch of a button. The Jaybird earbuds ($93.49 on Amazon) fit snugly and have a lifetime warranty against perspiration damage; for runners in Oklahoma’s heat, that’s a good feature.

OSU choral conductor finds connections with students Whether teaching in kindergarten, high school or college, instructors place a high priority on getting to know their students. And while a typical class might number two dozen students, how does one face such a challenge with a group four times that size? Michael John Trotta, associate director of choral studies at Oklahoma State University, conducts the 90-member University Singers. Instead of spending a semester or more to learn everyone’s name, Trotta decided to interview every student. The process took a couple of weeks but his efforts paid off. “It’s impossible to get to know students in a large group that meets for 50 minutes three days a week,” Trotta said recently. “It’s tough to get a handle on what they’re passionate about. The interviews were a great way to get feedback from them, to hear them talk about how the group might move forward. “When you take that approach, the students become more invested in what we’re trying to accomplish. One thing I learned was that the singers like spending time together outside of rehearsals. With student-led ac-

tivities, I can handle the musical part and they can do the other.” Trotta’s move to Stillwater this fall reunited him with Z. Randall Stroope, director of vocal and choral studies at OSU. As a master’s student, Trotta studied with Stroope at Rowan University in New Jersey. Today, they share choral conducting responsibilities at OSU. Trotta has always been passionate about choral music. In high school, he participated in multiple ensembles, and in college, he was cast in numerous operatic productions. By the time he reached graduate school, Trotta shifted his focus from performance to education. “I had always wanted to be a choral conductor but to do that at the collegiate level, I felt that I needed a doctorate,” Trotta said. “I went to Louisiana State University to study with Kenneth Fulton. “In addition to being a consummate master on the podium, he taught

Show celebrates work of three artists On view through Dec. 17 at the Individual Artists of Oklahoma Gallery, 706 W Sheridan, is “Revolve: Three Artists, Three Colleagues, Three Friends,” an exhibit featuring the work of Norman High School instructors Leslie Dallam, Kim Rice and Carla Waugh. Running through Friday is “In Your Face,” an exhibit of works by students from Southwestern Oklahoma State University and Oklahoma Christian University. For more information, call 232-6060 or go to www.iaogallery.org.

Senior art exhibit STILLWATER — Oklahoma State University’s Gardiner Art Gallery, 108 Bartlett Center for the Visual Arts, will open its 2011 “Senior Capstone Exhibition” Friday. An opening reception is planned from 6 to 7 p.m. Saturday. The exhibit, which will remain on view through Dec. 12, features works by OSU art students Cassie Brown, Krystal L.

things like how to navigate a life in the arts, how to succeed at the university level, how to work as guest conductor and how to freelance as a composer. He was excellent in all those areas.” Trotta’s dissertation not only serves as an academic exercise in carrying out research, but will have a practical application as well. It’s a liturgical resource guide that when published, will be available free on the internet. “I wanted to do something that would be different but had the potential to be helpful,” Trotta said. “A person who gets a church job right out of school could take this guide and find 250 choral pieces that could be performed in a year’s time. I’ve worked in church music for the past

15 years and this guide is something I would love to have had.” Trotta’s University Singers will join the OSU Women’s Choir and the Statesmen for a 2:30 p.m. concert Sunday in the Seretean Center Concert Hall. Titled “Reflections,” the concert will explore the universal themes of freedom, hope and celebration through music by Haydn, Beethoven, Brahms and Vaughan Williams. “I hope our audience will find some way to connect with the program in a personal way,” Trotta said. “We’re offering them a point of entry into a musical tradition that has being going on for hundreds of years. We try to accomplish that in a way that is relevant for everyone.”

NORMAN — A heavy, di-

rect application of acrylic paint and simplified compositional elements work well for Norman artist Mike Simmons in a show of his artworks at Dreamer Concepts Studio. An aspen grove is reduced to eight straight or angling white trunks — almost like bars of music, the bare legs of ballet dancers, or Roman numerals — in one eye catching landscape. Titled “Aspen Autumn,” this work features the small stand of trees that connect bold, horizontal bands of heavy pigment, divided into bright yellow leaves, the dark shadows of the forest, and reddish-brown earth. A buff-colored bluff reflects in blue waters, just as morning light is giving a golden glow to foreground foliage in “Sunrise Sonata,” while silver dabs give sparkle to a “California Sunset,” in two other landscapes. A flame red sky behind a dark city skyline gives an ironic, ambiguous undertone to his “Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight” — one of the artist’s more tightly composed and hard-hitting works. Extremely vivid, too, are the bloody “Gash” in his work of that title, and the crimson hand, reaching upward, from blobs of orange-yellow paint, in his “Caught Red Handed.” Red and pink flowers sprout from a green combat boot, emblematic of Simmons’ service in the Marine Corps in Vietnam, in another striking image. Called “These Boots Were Made for Bloomin,’” the painting’s title provides us with a wry commentary on the long ago “flower power” of anti-war protesters as well as on the Nancy Sinatra hit song. More otherworldly is “The Summer of Our Discontent,” a work in which we seem to be looking across a broken plain or lava field, perhaps on anoth-

er planet, toward a smoldering red sky. Thickly applied metallic paints create interesting interactions with deep background blues, greens and reds in such abstract works as “Downhole,” “Frosted Flakes,” “Take That Copper” and “Golden Diadem.” Going a bit further toward abstract expressionism is “In the Bayou,” a work in which slashes of pure paint are applied, almost rhythmically, across the horizontal picture plane. Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1993, the artist, who lives in the Veterans Center in Norman, said he decided to start painting again in October of 2010, “before my capabilities are gone completely.” Simmons said he is giving any sales from his “Art for Anderson’s Heart” exhibit to a 6-month old grandson. The child has been going through a series of heart surgeries since birth. Simplistic, in some ways, but grabbing our attention and holding it, forcefully, his paintings are well worth visiting during their run through Dec. 2 at the downtown Norman gallery. — John Brandenburg

Children: Learning, fun meet FROM PAGE 1D

crayons and markers are good gift ideas. Two- and 3-year-olds love pretend play. They like to dress up and play house and pretend to be Mommy or Daddy with dolls. Accessories for dolls such as bottles, diapers and strollers will be appreciated by a child this age. Ride-on toys are also fun for the older toddler. As kids get into their 4s and 5s, Mungaven said they are refining their mo-

tor development skills and like things like balance beams, crawl-through barrels, jump rope and other physically challenging toys. This age range is also refining its language and reading skills so books, paper dolls and age-appropriate music are good ideas for gifts. For kids older than 6, look for art activities such as small sewing and weaving kits. Dressing-up becomes

more involved and children this age want to dress up as certain characters, such as a doctor or police officer. You can put together a prop box, Mungaven suggests, of all the items needed for your child to dress up as his or her favorite character. Older children love board games, card games, interlocking toys like Legos, Tinker Toys, cars and trucks, various sizes of blocks and tubes.

Teens: Games top lists FROM PAGE 1D

season’s hottest video games include “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 ($59.99),” “Battlefield 3 ($59.95)” and “Batman: Arkham City ($59.99).” Of course, Kinect for Xbox 360, a motion sensing device paired with the Xbox 360 game console, is a favorite for box sexes because no controller is required, allowing freedom of movement and lots of opportunities for spontaneous fun. The Kinect sensor retails for about $149 and a holiday value bundle packaging the Xbox 360 console with the Kinect sensor is being sold for about $299. Kinect favorites include “Family Party Sports” and “Dance Central.” The courageous Santas may want to purchase clothes for the teen girl on their list. If that’s the case, Miss Me Jeans is a favorite brand this year, while Ugg boots and Toms shoes remain popular. For the less daring, who don’t want to make risky choices (It’s risky if your teen is not shopping with you or if she has not given you exact specifications for a clothing item, i.e. style, color, size), another popular gift item is Beats by Dr. Dre, high definition stereo headphones. These noise-cancelling headphones are also a big hit with teen boys. For the movie-lover, choose a favorite film in Blu-ray such as “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 (about $29.98).” For the girly-girl, there are plenty of makeup options to choose from. Try a nail polish collection from a popular brand like OPI. This holiday season, OPI offers the OPI 2011 Winter Collection-The Muppets, with a six-bottle collection retailing for about $38 and a 12-bottle collection selling for about $55.99. Nail polish may be a less risky choice than lipstick or eye shadows. If the teen on your list already has their favorite techno-gadget, consider an accessory designed to compliment it. Kohl’s offers several tablet cases, such as Nine & Co.’s crocodile tablet case, retailing for $30, and the Rosetti Tech It Out Patent Cheetah Tablet Case, retailing for $35. Since most teens, particularly those in college, have laptops, try getting a laptop backpack. There are laptop backpacks that have any number of pockets for all the handy gadgets teens have come to rely on. For fun, try Logo Chairs University of Oklahoma Sooners laptop backpack, which features an embroidered OU logo, or the Oklahoma State University Cowboys laptop backpack, emblazoned with the OSU logo. These may be purchased at Bestbuy.com for $39.99. They accommo-

date most laptops up to a 17-inch display and feature a main compartment that provides ample storage space for books and more. Finally, the notion that gift cards are too impersonal is old-fashioned. For teens, they have moved from being a last resort to the most practical gift to give because young people yearn to make their own choices whenever they are allowed to. The trick is to find out which retail stores or restaurants are among the teen’s favorites — and get the gift card(s) there. If a teen girl mostly rocks clothes from Forever 21 or Hot Topic, get her gift cards to those stores. If she shops at a store often, she most likely has had her eye on something and she can get it with a gift card from the savvy shopper in the family. For the gamer in the family, try a gift card from one of the game stores like GameStop. A Best Buy gift card also might be a good way to satiate a video game or electronics lover. Gift cards for the video gamers help when you are not sure which games they already have. There’s nothing worse than getting a teen a game that they’ve had — and played over and over — for months. And speaking of electronics, the iTunes gift card helps teens stay connected to whatever gadget they’re plugged into

these days. Looking for stocking stuffers? Try skull candy earbuds. Retailing for about $19.95 (and there are sales galore), they’re a less-expensive option than some of the popular headphones and you can get them in a variety of colors and themes. Another stocking stuffer idea is the Isotoner smarTouch glove. These gloves come in men’s and women’s sizes and allow the wearer to access his or her touch screen devices while keeping their fingers warm and toasty in frigid weather. Good luck ... and keep your receipts.

Take a trip into Oklahoma Indian Country for one of the most unusual and exciting excursions in North America. Oklahoma’s 39 tribal nations offer more diverse cultures and different languages than Europe. There are more than 85 American Indian destinations in Oklahoma offering a range of experiences, from the historic to the artistic, from fine shopping to museums and cultural centers documenting poignant and spirited stories. The following destinations are only a sample of all there is to see and do in Oklahoma Indian Country. Just south of Ponca City, the tranquil 63-acre Standing Bear Park, Museum & Education Center tells the story of Chief Standing Bear. Arrested for leaving the Ponca reservation in Oklahoma to travel to his native Nebraska to bury his son, Standing Bear uttered this quote at his trial which still resonates today: “This hand is not the same color as yours, but if I pierce it, I shall feel pain. The blood that will flow from mine will be the same color as yours. I am a man. The

The collection of cultural experiences includes the Ancient Village, Adams Corner Rural Village, the Trail of Tears Exhibit, the Cherokee National Museum and the Cherokee Family Research Center. At the Ancient Village, a replica of a Cherokee village as it would have existed before European contact, visitors can watch demonstrations of ancient cultural practices such as flint knapping, basketry, blowguns and stickball. Special events such as the Annual Trail of Tears Art Show and annual Cherokee Homecoming offer more opportunities for cultural sharing and learning. Less than five miles away in Park Hill is the George M. Murrell Home, a mansion built in 1845 by George M. Murrell, a wealthy merchant who married the niece of Cherokee Chief John Ross. Oklahoma’s only antebellum mansion, it is a certified Trail of Tears site. The grounds include an original springhouse, an 1896 smokehouse and a log cabin. An adjacent park area offers picnic tables, a nature trail and Park Hill Creek.

same God made us both.” The park grounds feature walking paths that take visitors to six tribal viewing courts, a small museum and the 22-foot bronze statue of the Ponca tribal leader. In the heart of the Chickasaw Nation near Sulphur is the Chickasaw Cultural Center, a world-class museum complex that celebrates Chickasaw history and culture. Located on 109 acres of rolling hills, woodlands and streams adjacent to the Chickasaw National Recreation Area, the complex is home to the Holisso Research Center, a large-format theater, amphitheater, sky terrace and traditional village. In the foothills of the Ozark Mountains, the Cherokee Heritage Center in Tahlequah is on 44 heavily wooded acres and offers visitors insights into Cherokee history and culture.

Tree raffle to help volunteer workers Women: Beauty, function important BY LILLIE-BETH BRINKMAN Assistant Features Editor lbrinkman@opubco.com

An Oklahoma City organization is raising funds for an upcoming trip to Kenya to work with a children’s center developing a program for children with autism. Be The Change, Inc., is auctioning off specially designed Christmas trees and selling raffle tickets to split a cash prize between the winner and a trip fund. The money raised will help send volunteers on the trip to the Dagoretti Children’s Center, a facility in Kenya for children with disabilities. Each of the volunteers is raising their own money for the trip: The Christmas tree auction is being organized by special events coordinator Marvin Palmer for his trip, and the raffle will go to fees for the group. Be The Change has formed partnerships in Kenya that provide services to adults and children living with AIDS and

others affected with it. At the Dagoretti Children’s Center, volunteers from Oklahoma City will help build a special, multi-sensory room in the building. Last year, Be The Change volunteers built playground equipment for the Kakutha Primary School in Kangundo, Kenya, said volunteer Marvin Palmer. In Oklahoma City, the organization works with the Homeless Alliance to help the homeless with services and volunteers to help those who have AIDS or are HIV positive. Designs for the Christmas trees include those provided by Iguana Mexican Grill and Sara Sara Cupcakes, fashion designer Johnathan Kayne Gillaspie, Grenada Floral, Calvert’s Plant Interiors and Legos. They are on display in the lobby of the Homeless Alliance, NW 3 and Virginia. For more information about the raffle and the Christmas tree auction, go online to www.bethe changeok.org or call Palmer at 557-0005.

It is set for release Tuesday. Single mother Carly Chase is on her way to an appointment when she swerves to avoid a young Brighton University student bicycling to class on the wrong wide of the road. She crashes into a shop but is unhurt. She is being tailgated by a white van. Lorry driver Stuart Ferguson is hurrying to deliver a load of fish and brakes when he sees Carly and the cyclist.

under the lorry, his leg is severed, and he suffers massive internal injuries. He dies at the scene. Detective Grace quickly ascertains the young man who was killed is connected to a powerful mafia family in New York City. The drivers of the van and lorry are found tortured to death. Grace believes that someone is out for revenge for the young man’s death. Carly is sure to be the next target. The police offer protection and a change of identity, but she decides to take things into her own hands and goes to New York to speak with the dead cyclist’s mother.

‘Invisible Thread’ of kindness alters lives NONFICTION | INSPIRING STORY SHOWS VALUE OF SECOND CHANCES, OPPORTUNITIES Based on a chance encounter with a small New York City beggar, “An Invisible Thread” (Howard Books, $25) by Laura Schroff and Alex Tresniowski is an inspiring story of how an act of kindness profoundly changed two lives. It begins in 1986 when Schroff, an ad executive for a news magazine, is approached by an 11-year-old

black waif who asks for spare change, saying: “I am hungry.” Schroff passes him by, but then something tells her to return. Instead of giving him the change he’d asked for, she takes him to lunch. That leads to regular Monday lunches and a quartercentury of friendship with Maurice Maczyk. Maurice lives in a

crowded welfare hotel room with his mostly absent and abusive father, an addict mother and other members of a dysfunctional family. As the unlikely friendship advances, Laura sees some parallels between Maurice’s family life and her own. Soon their lunches change from fast-food places to her apartment.

She teaches him how to make cookies. He is invited to holiday gatherings with her sister’s family in the suburbs. And Maurice’s idea of family begins to change. This is a “feel good” story that might make you wonder if you’ve passed up an opportunity. And don’t miss the epilogue. — Kay Dyer

TV BRIEF SHARON STONE HAS NEW ROLE GREETING TROOPS LOS ANGELES — Sharon Stone is taking on two distinct roles: One in a Linda Lovelace biopic, and another online to welcome returning troops. The actress, 53, says she will play Lovelace’s mother in “Lovelace.” But before filming starts, the “Basic Instinct” star will step into the world of social media with a Facebook page that welcomes returning military personnel home from duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. Stone says her page will serve as a community bulletin board where people can thank the troops for their service and offer them jobs, discounts, a helping hand and a warm welcome.

ADVICE

Struggling families may qualify for emergency housing help BY KEN RAYMOND Staff Writer kraymond@opubco.com

Neighborhood Family Services is offering financial assistance to help needy families keep their homes this holiday season. The nonprofit organization has funding through Dec. 31 to help qualified individuals and families with their bills, said Stacey Ninness, the group’s president and chief executive officer. “We have funds to provide first month’s rent, which is for people who are homeless and have the money to move on and transition into housing,” Ninness said. “We have eviction prevention. ... If you got an eviction notice from your landlord and you need help, we can help you pay your rent for the month.” The organization also helps with mortgage payments for people who have received a foreclosure notice or notice of late payment, she said. “The important thing to remember is that we can only pay for one month of

past-due rent (or mortgage payments),” she said. “We can’t pay fees, but we can help you get through what we call a transition event.” Such events include medical bills or high heating costs — unexpected crises that can tip struggling families into homelessness. This time of year can be particularly difficult, she said. “We see such a huge need at Thanksgiving and Christmas,” she said. “You don’t think as much about Thanksgiving, but it’s the big meal. When you don’t

HOROSCOPE I ARIES (March 21-April 19): You have a white-hot burning desire to accomplish a certain goal. You will do whatever it takes for as long as it takes to bring this outcome into being. You are, in short, driven. I TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You probably already know that your sign can be stubborn about learning from others. When you have a mentor you trust, the only sensible thing to do is let down your defenses and learn all you can. I GEMINI (May 21-June 21): You have a talent for noticing big obstacles ahead and steering to avoid them. It’s the small obstacles and unanticipated problems that could bog you down now if you let them. Stay positive, and you’ll keep moving ahead. I CANCER (June 22-July 22): Whatever happened in the past, leave it there. You are what you make of yourself. Remember that you’re in charge, and don’t let other people or circumstances determine your destiny. I LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You give your love wholeheartedly. That could be overwhelming for certain people. Not everyone can open up to love. Be patient. I VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): As you deal with loved ones, it may occur to you that there has got to be a better way to communicate. The secret is in vicinity and eye contact. Be close and connected to one another. I LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You’ll decide that your expressions need to be heard. What you wear and how you carry yourself will be as much a part of that expression as what you say, write and present. I SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Drop your uncertainty about the future. You can be sure that you’ll rise to the occasion because said “occasion” is one that you have been thinking, wishing and dreaming about for ages. I SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): To some extent, this day is a study in contrast: the poor against the rich, the infantile next to the wise. You’ll be prompted to form some conclusions from all that plays out before you. I CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You feel a responsibility to make people happy. Start with yourself. Ultimately, you’re the only one you can really control. But if you can do that, you’ll strongly influence others. I AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Someone will do a good deed for you that is kind of a mixed blessing. On the one hand, you enjoy the perk. On the other, your impetus to return the favor is quite substantial. I PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): What you are called on to handle today is not the same old crisis of the past. It’s something new and exciting. You’ll have to release the past in order to see this for the opportunity it really is. CREATORS SYNDICATE

BILLY GRAHAM DEAR DR. GRAHAM: I went away to college a month ago, and I’m ashamed of the way I’ve been acting. I’ve done some things I vowed I’d never do, just giving in to the pressure of the crowd, I guess. God must be very disappointed in me, because I believe in Jesus and want to do what’s right. How can I get back on the right path, or is it too late? M.R. DEAR M.R.: No, it’s not too late to get back on the right track — but the longer you delay, the less likely you’ll be to want to change. The temptation to go along with the crowd will become harder and harder to resist, and eventually you’ll look back and wonder what went wrong. As you’ve discovered, being away from home for the first time brings its own temptations and problems. At one time, you had the support and encouragement of your family and friends, including your church. It probably was relatively easy then for you to resist temptation and do what was right. But now all that is gone, and the only encouragement you have to do what’s right must come from within you — from your own moral and spiritual strength. Peer pressure can be very strong — and unless you’re prepared for it, you’ll find it hard to resist. The Bible warns, ”Do not be misled: ‘Bad company corrupts good character“’ (1 Corinthians 15:33). Don’t continue down this path. Instead, turn to Jesus Christ and ask Him to forgive you — and He will. Then learn to walk with Him every day — through reading the Bible and prayer, and through fellowship with other believers on your campus (check your campus bulletin boards for notices about Christian groups on your campus). You need them — and they need you. Send questions to “My Answer,” c/o Billy Graham, Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, 1 Billy Graham Parkway, Charlotte, NC 28201, call (877) 247-2426 or go online to www.billygraham.org.

have enough money to buy the turkey and the stuffing and all the rest, that’s significant.” Thanks to the generosity of SolAmor Hospice, Neighborhood Family Services will be able to provide 44 families with Thanksgiving food baskets, including all the traditional fixings ... and hot chocolate. “That seems like a little thing,” Ninness said, “but you should’ve seen the faces of the kids last year when they saw that hot chocolate. They were jumping up and down.” Ninness’ organization

has been in existence for 90 years. It provides transitional housing for people who need help gaining independence, such as teenagers who “age out” of the foster care program. Other services include permanent supportive housing for homeless adults with mental illness and lowcost health clinics. Since September, the nonprofit has provided $12,000 in rental and mortgage assistance, Ninness said. Because funding comes from the Federal Emergency Management Association, recipients must meet certain federal guidelines. Those seeking help must: Live in Oklahoma, Canadian or McClain counties. Have an eviction notice or notice of late payment. Participate in a phone interview to determine eligibility. Call 236-0413, extension 308. If you’d like to help as a volunteer or donor, call 236-0413, extension 302. Donations may be sent to Neighborhood Family Services, 431 SW 11, Oklahoma City, OK 73109.

Parents need to keep contact with abused daughter DEAR ABBY: Late last winter, a sheriff called to tell me that my daughter “Amy” had been found standing, bruised and battered, on a street corner in upstate New York. Her arm had been broken. He was convinced that the man she was living with had beaten her and kicked her outside to freeze. Her sister (my other daughter) paid to put her up in a hotel for the night. My husband and I were convinced early on in this relationship that this monster was determined to have us support him financially, because he would leave us long, threatening messages demanding money, or else our daughter would be “homeless.” Amy moved back in with him, and I heard from her sister that the creep was bringing other women home for sex. It raised my hopes that Amy would give up on him. Instead, she became pregnant. Now Amy is hurt that I don’t call her and share in this exciting event. When I try to explain how I feel, she tells me, “It’s not about you, Mom.” She’s right. It’s about the baby. I am ashamed to not be able to change this baby’s future. What can I do? Paralyzed with Fear Out West DEAR PARALYZED: Make every effort to prevent your daughter and grandchild from becoming isolated from your family. Some abusers deliberately impregnate their victims in order to keep them dependent. Keep the contact and the conversation going, so that when Amy finally realizes that her boyfriend is a danger not only to her but also to her baby, she can come to you for help. DEAR ABBY: We have two children, ages 9 and 6, and live in Northern California. We’ll be traveling to Southern California soon to attend my cousin’s wedding. We’ll be staying with my parents. My three unmarried adult siblings will be coming from out-of-state to attend the wedding. My brother “Ray” is a clear favorite with my kids. He visits often and showers them with attention, gifts and outings. He loves them dearly, but when he’s around he consumes all of

their attention. I feel bad for my parents and other siblings — especially my sister, who doesn’t get to see them often and feels she can’t compete with the gifts and rough-house game-playing. Do you have any suggestions for how I might temper the kids’ enthusiasm for Uncle Ray on this trip, so others get to have meaningful bonding time with their nephew and niece, whom they rarely see? Marilyn, San Francisco DEAR MARILYN: Enlist Ray’s help with this and start talking with your children now about the special relationships you had with your parents and your siblings while growing up. Share funny stories, which will make them more “real” to the kids. Talk about the qualities that make each of your family members special, and be sure to mention how much your parents and all your siblings care about them. Then arrange in advance one or more activities they can enjoy together that do not include Ray. That would be some steps in the right direction. DEAR ABBY: What would you say is the difference between a friendship and an emotional affair? Unhappy Wife in Pennsylvania DEAR UNHAPPY WIFE: A friendship is a relationship in which the spouse feels included. An emotional affair is one during which the spouse writes to Dear Abby and signs her question “Unhappy.” Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
