NUMBER OF CHILDREN ABUSED AND NEGLECTED IN STATE CUSTODY MISREPRESENTED, DOCUMENTS REVEAL

DHS underreported abuse BY RANDY ELLIS, NOLAN CLAY AND ROBBY TRAMMELL Staff Writers

children abused and neglected in out-of-home state custody, documents reveal. Last December, the Oklahoma Department of Human Services issued a news release stating “99.8 percent of children in out-ofhome care did not experience maltreatment while in care” dur-

ing 2009. The agency proclaimed Oklahoma was one of 24 states that met a national standard of having at least 99.68 percent of children in custody not experience confirmed abuse or neglect in out-ofhome care. The claims were false.

DHS actually ranked among the worst states in the nation, as it has for several years, The Oklahoman has confirmed. Preliminary data for 2010 indicates the state once again will fail to meet the national standard.

Underreported: Agency blames computer error FROM PAGE 1A

“It’s an honest mistake,” said Sheree Powell, DHS spokeswoman. “It’s not anything intentional. We were not intentionally trying to hide this.” The agency inadvertently failed to report to the federal government some federal fiscal year 2009 cases of abuse and neglect in foster homes that took awhile to review, according to Deborah Smith, DHS director of children and family services. She blamed a computer search error for the mistake. “I can tell you the people who discovered the data were just very disappointed that ... we had reported data that was inaccurate,” Smith said. “Very embarrassed. It really bothered them.” The agency also deliberately did not report to the federal government instances where children were abused and neglected in state shelters or group homes. DHS officials say they don’t have to include those figures. The federal government says it should. DHS admitted in filings for a lawsuit that 154 children were abused or neglected in state shelters and group homes in calendar year 2009. Had the agency included that data, the state would have had to report that about 1.58 percent of children were abused or neglected while in state care, according to the attorneys for a child advocacy group that is suing the state. That’s nearly five times the acceptable national standard and the third worst rate in the nation behind only New York and Mississippi, according to data contained in a federal government report known as the Child Maltreatment 2009 report. Powell and Smith defended the agency’s decision not to report the number of children maltreated in state shelters and group homes. In Oklahoma, complaints of abuse and neglect in state facilities are investigated by the DHS Office of Client Advocacy Investigations Unit, while allegations of abuse or neglect in foster homes are investigated by DHS child protective services workers, they said. The federal government only requires the agency to report abuse and neglect

confirmed by child protective services workers, they said. The omission is mentioned in a brief disclosure statement contained within a thick report filed with federal officials, Smith said. However, the Child Maltreatment 2009 report indicates children maltreated in state facilities should be included in state statistics. It states: “The Children’s Bureau established a national standard for the absence of maltreatment in foster care at 99.68 percent, defined as: ‘Of all children in foster care during the reporting period, what percent were not victims of a substantiated or indicated maltreatment by foster parents or facility staff members?’ ” Kenneth Wolfe, deputy director of the office of public affairs for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families, said Oklahoma is one of 14 states that exclude data concerning children abused and neglected in state institutions. The exclusions make those states look better in comparison with other states than they would if the figures were included, he said. Powell said DHS Director Howard Hendrick was busy and unavailable to be interviewed. She confirmed that Hendrick and other DHS administrators review news releases before they are sent out. Records show Smith presented the incorrect data that indicated Oklahoma had done better than the federal standard to DHS’ governing commission Sept. 29, 2010. There is no record of staff members ever going back and telling the commission the information was incorrect, although administrators have known it for months, Powell acknowledged. Children’s Rights, a New York-based child advocacy group, is suing DHS officials in Tulsa federal court. The group contends foster care practices in the state are so poor that children are being harmed. Attorneys for that group have accused Hendrick and other DHS staff members of not providing the commission with information concerning areas where the agency has performed poorly. Powell, however, con-

tends Children’s Rights has been twisting information to make DHS look bad. “There are millions of dollars to be gained if they can succeed in a federal class-action lawsuit,” she said. Powell said state-tostate comparisons are unreliable because different states have different standards. For example, she said, Oklahoma policies require workers to visit foster homes more frequently than most other states. “The more a state visits their children, the more likely abuse and/or neglect will be discovered and consequently, the worse it may look,” she said. Different states also have different standards for confirming abuse and neglect, she said. Oklahoma is one of 10 states that use a credible evidence standard. Twentyeight states use a preponderance of evidence standard. Other states use standards that range from “reasonable” to “clear and convincing evidence,” the Child Maltreatment 2009 report says. The DHS statistics that show 154 children were found to have been abused or neglected in state shelters and group homes in 2009 compare to 87 who were found to have been maltreated in foster homes. Many would consider that shocking, since the number of Oklahoma children in foster homes greatly exceeds the number in state facilities. Powell, however, said the reason for the discrepancy is the state uses much tougher standards for abuse and neglect in state institutions. “A staff member missing a required 15-minute check” would be grounds for a finding of neglect in a state facility, she said. Most of the findings of abuse and neglect in state facilities fall in the neglect category, she said. Of the 154 confirmed findings of abuse and neglect in state facilities in 2009, six were categorized as abuse with injury, one as sexual abuse, 15 as confirmed abuse, 131 as neglect and one as neglect with injury, records show. Smith noted the 154 cases of maltreatment in state facilities occurred during calendar year 2009, while statistics are reported to the federal government based on the federal fiscal year.

Mexico’s newest export to U.S. may be water BY ELLIOT SPAGAT Associated Press

SAN DIEGO — Mexico ships televisions, cars, sugar and medical equipment to the United States. Soon, it may be sending water north. Western states are looking south of the border for water to fill drinking glasses, flush toilets and sprinkle lawns, as four major U.S. water districts help plan one of two huge desalination plant proposals in Playas de Rosarito, about 15 miles south of San Diego. Combined, they would produce 150 million gallons a day, enough to supply more than 300,000 homes on both sides of the border. The plants are one strategy by both countries to wean themselves from the drought-prone Colorado River, which flows 1,450 miles from the Rocky Mountains to the Sea of Cortez. Decades of friction over the Colorado, in fact, are said to be a hurdle to current desalination negotiations. The proposed plants have also sparked concerns that American water interests looking to Mexico are simply trying to dodge U.S. environmental reviews. Desalination plants can blight coastal landscapes, sucking in and killing fish eggs and larvae. They require massive amounts of electricity and dump millions of gallons of brine back into the ocean that can be harmful to fish. But desalination has helped quench demand in Australia, Saudi Arabia and other countries lacking fresh water. Dozens of proposals are on the drawing board in the United States to address wa-

ter scarcity but the only big project to recently win regulators’ blessings would produce 50 million gallons a day in Carlsbad, near San Diego. A smaller plant was approved last year in Monterey, some 110 miles south of San Francisco. Mexico is a relative newcomer to desalination. Its largest plant supplies 5 million gallons a day in the Baja California resort town of Cabo San Lucas. Skeptics already question the two proposed plants in Playas de Rosarito. “It raises all kinds of red flags,” said Joe Geever, California policy coordinator for the Surfrider Foundation, an environmentalist group that has fought the Carlsbad plant in court for years. Water agencies that supply much of Southern California, Phoenix, Las Vegas and Tijuana, Mexico, are pursuing the plant that would produce 50 million gallons a day in Rosarito near an existing electricity plant. They commissioned a study last year that found no fatal flaws and ordered another one that will include a cost estimate, with an eye toward starting operations in three to five years. The U.S. agencies want to consider helping pay for the plant and letting Mexico keep the water for booming areas of Tijuana and Rosarito. In exchange, Mexico would surrender some of its allotment from the Colorado River. Mexico would never give up water from the Colorado, which feeds seven western U.S. states and northwest Mexico, said Jose Gutierrez, assistant director for binational affairs at Mexico’s National Water Commission. Mexico’s rights are enshrined in a 1944 treaty.

Rural-urban divide seen on tax credits

JACKSON, JR. Oklahoma Watch

Weeding through the politics of the current tax credits debate can be a daunting task, especially when one must factor in lobbyists, campaign contributions, party alliances and the ever-elusive motives of political gain. Yet, there is one more factor rarely discussed — one that is shaping Oklahoma’s future. “Naturally, there is a divide of Democrats and Republicans in the Legislature,” noted former State Treasurer Scott Meacham. “But there’s an even greater divide there between rural and urban legislators.” Mike Southard, Ada Jobs Foundation president, fears the divide is becoming greater and ultimately will impact where the state invests its tax credits and incentives. Southard made that conclusion after attending the first hearing held by the Task Force for the Study of State Tax Credits and Economic Incentives in August. “I was so mad by what I heard, I haven’t gone back,” Southard said. “People were told they couldn’t even speak until they first rattled off how many jobs a tax credit had created for them … but economic incentives are much more complex, especially in Oklahoma’s rural communities.” Southard pointed to Boeing’s plans to move more than 500 engineering jobs from California to Oklahoma as an example. The Aerospace Employer & Employee Tax Credit program is credited with playing a role in that decision — a study by Boeing and The Greater Oklahoma City Chamber shows that will cost the state $3.5 million but is projected to infuse $270 million into the Oklahoma economy. “Naturally, everyone would like a Boeing to come to town,” Southard said. “Who wouldn’t? What people don’t realize is those types of deals are rare — extremely rare. For us, here in Ada, I’d rather see 10 new businesses with 10 jobs each, staying for the next 10 to 20 years. That would have just as great an impact on our community.” Southard wonders if rural Oklahomans can successfully make that argument to the task force. He’s not alone. “Our voice in rural Oklahoma is barely being heard,” said state Sen. Tom Ivester, D-Sayre. “The bedrock of Oklahoma’s economy is the oil and gas industry and agriculture. As for oil and gas, outside of corporate headquarters in Oklahoma City or Tulsa, nearly all of the work is done in rural parts of our state. No one seems to think about that much. Then there’s agriculture. You won’t see big corporations coming to the defense of agriculture like they do with oil and gas.

Why don’t we have any tax credits for rural farmers? “The truth is the power has already gradually shifted toward the urban communities.” The political gap between rural and urban Oklahoma is slowly widening. Redistricting for the 2012 elections already is complete with 61 of 101 House Districts going to counties with populations greater than 69,700 — Oklahoma; Tulsa; Cleveland; Comanche; Canadian; Rogers; Payne; Wagoner; Muskogee; Creek; and Pottawatomie. Those same counties will also account for 28 of the Senate’s 48 districts. While the redistricting process is, in itself, based on a complex format, Rep. David Dank, R-Oklahoma City, said the shift clearly gives urban Oklahoma “greater influence” and therefore more responsibility. “For the first time in state history, urban legislators will outnumber rural legislators,” said Rep. Dank, the task force’s cochairman. “We have to remember the threshold for these tax credits is the cost-benefit to the taxpayer, regardless of whether you’re talking about 10 or 12 jobs in Sapulpa or 200 jobs in Oklahoma City or Tulsa. “Rural Oklahoma is important to all of us. Will urban legislators listen to rural Oklahoma? That’s the hope.” Mark Van Landingham, The Greater Oklahoma City Chamber’s vice president of government relations and policies, doesn’t buy into the notion there is a growing imbalance in power between rural and urban Oklahoma. “I think rural Oklahoma has, and will continue to have, a strong voice,” Van Landingham said. “Why? They have a very strong rural caucus.” The Rural Venture Capital Formation Incentive Act and Small Business Capital Formation Incentive Act have both been touted for rural economic development in the past, but both are scheduled to expire Dec. 31. Dank and

others expect those programs to fade quietly into the sunset because of their “lack of transparency.” Instead, small businesses now are encouraged to apply for the Small Employer Quality Jobs Program, which offers cash incentives for companies in communities with fewer than 7,000 residents. The incentives, however, are tied directly to the creation of new jobs. I Five new jobs for communities of 3,500 or fewer residents I Ten new jobs for communities between 3,500 and 7,000 residents I Fifteen new jobs for communities over 7,500 residents Yet not every tax credit or incentive is tied to job creation. The state’s Historical Preservation Tax Credit is a prime example and is also being heavily scrutinized, although some claim it spurred major revitalization projects statewide in Shawnee, Cordell, Ardmore, Sapulpa and other towns. In Shawnee, more than $11.4 million was invested in a two-phase restoration of The Aldridge Hotel, a nine-story “skyscraper” built in 1928. The hotel, placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000, is now a 60-unit apartment complex for low-income seniors. “For $250,000, that hotel could have been leveled and that would have been the end of that,” said Southard, Shawnee’s former community development director. “Instead, the investment is made. Afterward, over $20 million is reinvested in Shawnee’s downtown. Without that historic preservation tax credit, that hotel is never rehabilitated and Shawnee’s downtown doesn’t experience that revitalization. That’s something to think about.”

Tulsa philanthropist keeps giving quietly BY ZIVA BRANSTETTER

AT A GLANCE

Tulsa World ziva.branstetter@ tulsaworld.com

TOP 10 RECIPIENTS OF GEORGE KAISER FAMILY FOUNDATION GRANTS TULSA — From bustling preschools in north Tulsa to smoothly paved trails winding along the Arkansas River, George Kaiser’s influence is everywhere in Tulsa. Yet Kaiser himself is nowhere. His family name appears on one building — the oil and gas company he has operated for more than 40 years — despite the fact his foundation has given more than $300 million to charity here over the past decade. That apparently suits Kaiser — ranked by Forbes Magazine as one of America’s richest men with an estimated $10 billion fortune — just fine. “Naming rights are a seductive philanthropic inducement, yet more anonymous operational support may better advance the charitable purpose,” Kaiser writes in an essay for an upcoming issue of the Chronicle of Philanthropy. Kaiser, 69, eschews publicity and society functions and rarely gives interviews. Friends say he’d rather visit a women’s prison or preschool serving poor children than don a tuxedo and attend a banquet. Recently, a national controversy over a federal loan guarantee for a solar company in which his foundation invested has swirled around him. A congressional investigation is under way into the loan guarantee program and critics have questioned whether Kaiser, who raised at least $50,000 for President Barack Obama’s campaign during a 2007 fundraiser, received preferential treatment. Kaiser has declined to defend himself in the media, though a spokesman issued one brief statement noting the George Kaiser Family Foundation was among investors who suffered a loss when the solar company went bankrupt.

Making an impression Kaiser is a self-effacing man, referring to himself in one 2005 speech as a “robber baron from Red State America.” He owns no vacation homes, airplanes or yachts and travels on commercial flights, often flying coach. Aubrey McClendon said he first met Kaiser in 1989, when the two had lunch in Tulsa. McClendon was just starting Chesapeake Energy Corp., now the second-largest natural gas producer. “I’ll always remember after it was over seeing him fold himself into a used Crown Victoria car that he had recycled from his field operations,’’ said McClendon, now chairman of the board and CEO of Chesapeake in Oklahoma City. “I knew then that I was dealing with a man who knew the value of a dollar and also knew how to relate to people from all walks of life.” While Kaiser’s $1.6 million home in midtown is far above Tulsa’s average home price, records show his top employees live in homes valued considerably higher. For this story, the Tulsa World interviewed about a dozen people and reviewed hundreds of pages of nonprofit records, court filings and other public records as well as news accounts and transcripts of speeches by Kaiser. Kaiser declined a request for an interview but answered a few questions sent via email to a spokesman. Kaiser works about 70 hours a week, much of it in his Kaiser-Francis Oil Co. office in south Tulsa. Kaiser spends about half of his time on philanthropy and the rest on his energy, banking and other businesses.

I look at George Kaiser as being probably the most influential businessman in my life as far as someone I could look up to and take his advice not only about business but how he lives.” TOM WARD CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER WITH SANDRIDGE ENERGY INC.

Kaiser communicates often through email. Kaiser once responded via email to a reporter while astride an elephant in India, where his foundation bought about 4 percent of the Bombay stock exchange. Tony Knowles — former two-term governor of Alaska and president of Kaiser’s National Energy Policy Institute — described Kaiser as “informed and engaged” in policy discussions. “He asks questions, brings up issues. It’s a wonderful combination of his feet are on the ground and his head is in the clouds,” said Knowles, born and raised in Tulsa. Kaiser is married to Myra “Cookie” Block, 66, from Tulsa. A story in the 1980 Tulsa Tribune described her father, Charles Goodall, as a philanthropic oilman. She is a curator of fiber art work, founder of the Brady Craft Alliance and reportedly shares her time between Tulsa and San Francisco. Kaiser is more closely affiliated with Congregation B’nai Emunah, considered the more conservative of Tulsa’s two synagogues. Records show the George Kaiser Family Foundation gave the congregation $28,000 in 2009. “We’re so proud of him in the Jewish community,’’ said David Bernstein, community relations director for the Jewish Federation of Tulsa. “He gives to causes in the community and outside the community.” Kaiser was the first in his immediate family to be born a U.S. citizen. His father, Herman, was a judge and the family fled Nazi Germany and came to the Tulsa in 1940, sponsored by an uncle. Kaiser was born four years later. Kaiser graduated from Tulsa’s Central High

School and then Harvard, obtaining an undergraduate degree and MBA. Kaiser married Betty Eudene, whom he met on a blind date, and the couple had three children: Philip, Leah and Emily. Betty died in 2002. The family started Kaiser-Francis Oil in the mid-1920s. Kaiser took it over in 1969, after his father suffered a heart attack. It grew from a small operation with less than a dozen employees and wells in one state to a diverse oil and gas company with more than 1,000 employees and operations in 25 states and Canada. Tom Ward, chairman and chief executive officer with SandRidge Energy Inc., based in Oklahoma City, said he has often sought Kaiser’s advice, calling him “the most astute investor I’ve ever met.” “I look at George Kaiser as being probably the most influential businessman in my life as far as someone I could look up to and take his advice not only about business but how he lives,” Ward said. Like his entry into the oil business, Kaiser’s role in the banking world also began in a low-key way and grew to become high profile today. Along with fellow oilman Charles Schusterman, Kaiser began acquiring small shares of the Bank of Oklahoma, news accounts state. By 1980, he and Schusterman owned the second largest portion of BOK stock. In 1986, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. propped up the struggling bank with an infusion of cash. Five years later, Kaiser bought it from the FDIC for $60 million. Today, the publicly traded BOK Financial Corp. makes more than that in one quarter’s

net earnings, records show. Stan Lybarger, president and chief executive officer of BOK Financial, has worked for the company since Kaiser joined the board, with virtually no banking experience. “The first year he bought it we made $9 million and now we make more than that in a month,” Lybarger said. Kaiser first made the Forbes list of richest Americans, with an estimated $265 million net worth, the year after he purchased BOK.

Driven by ‘dumb luck, guilt’ As his oil and banking businesses flourished, Kaiser made the transition to philanthropist. Steven Dow, executive director of Community Action Project of Tulsa, said Kaiser formed his current foundation in 1999. The foundation has donated more than $6 million to Educare and has funded three studies to measure the effectiveness of the

early childhood education program. Educare provides education for about 350 atrisk children at two Tulsa sites, with a third under construction. Educare represents the flagship of the foundation’s broader effort to fund education for about 2,000 children ages birth to 3 statewide. Dow said early childhood education is one of Kaiser’s favorite causes. In essays and rare appearances, Kaiser has said he feels obligated to give out of “guilt” and “dumb luck” for being born into a caring family and relative privilege. In a 2009 speech, Kaiser discussed the importance of Tulsa and the state vying for federal stimulus funding for local needs. “There has never been more money shoved out of the government’s door in world history and probably never will be again ... Our selfish, parochial goal is to get as much of it for Tulsa and Oklahoma as we possibly can,’’ he said then. Kaiser joined other

wealthy Tulsans and companies in forming the Tulsa Community Foundation in 1998. At the time, Tulsa was one of the few major cities without such a foundation. Today, it has nearly $160 million in assets and gave about $45 million to organizations in Tulsa and nationwide in 2009, records show. The following year, Kaiser formed the George Kaiser Family Foundation. It grew from $1 billion in assets in early 2005 to nearly $4 billion at the end of 2009, records show. Ken Levit, foundation executive director, said Kaiser is the sole donor and has given about $3.3 billion of his own funds to it. He noted Kaiser is not on the board but “is a spirited participant” in the foundation’s giving. Records show about eight out of 10 dollars the George Kaiser Family Foundation spent in 2009 stayed in Tulsa.

Panel looks at Solyndra, Kaiser foundation BY ZIVA BRANSTETTER Tulsa World ziva.branstetter@ tulsaworld.com

While records show Tulsa oilman George Kaiser visited the White House 16 times since 2009, an official who accompanied Kaiser says his foundation’s investment in a solar energy company never came up during the meetings. A congressional committee is investigating the $535 million federal loan guarantee made to solar panel maker Solyndra Inc. in 2009. At issue is whether the Obama administration rushed approval of the deal to please donors, including Kaiser. Testimony in hearings Friday focused on a 2010 loan restructuring for Solyndra. That deal allowed investors, including Kaiser’s foundation, to be repaid a combined $69 million before taxpayers in the event of Solyndra’s bankruptcy. Members of the committee have questioned whether Kaiser’s White House meetings involved Solyndra, which filed for bankruptcy and closed last month. Solyndra listed the George Kaiser Family Foundation as its largest private investor, with a 35percent stake. The foundation’s 2009 financial form shows it invested $342 million in Solyndra Inc. In a statement issued Friday in response to questions from the Tulsa World, Rep. Cliff Stearns, R-Fla., did not name Kaiser. Stearns is chairman of the House subcommittee leading the investigation. “The investigation has found that Obama campaign fundraisers enjoyed direct access to the West Wing and to the senior White House officials setting policy, an alarming level of political influence contaminating the DOE (Department of Energy) loan program,” Stearns’ statement read. Former two-term Alaska Gov. Tony Knowles attended at least eight meetings with administration officials, records show. Knowles is president of the nonprofit National Energy Policy Institute, a joint project founded by Kaiser and the University of Tulsa. Knowles said Friday he arranged and participated in meetings between Kaiser and “White House and other administration personnel, members of Congress and a wide variety of energy-related organizations. The purpose of these meetings was to inform decision makers and opinion leaders of the progress and results of an extensive independent and scholarly research study on the cost effectiveness of a wide variety of energy policies.” “Never in any of those meetings was there any attempt by George Kaiser to discuss or promote the financial relationship between the George Kaiser Family Foundation, Solyndra, and the federal government. “Additionally, whether in public meetings or in my personal conversations, George has never introduced the subject of his or the foundation’s commercial interests in relation to any work done by NEPI on national energy policy.”

White House visits White House visitor logs reviewed by the Tulsa World show that Kaiser made 16 visits on nine days between March 12, 2009, and April 14, 2011. Kaiser was accompanied on various visits by Knowles, Ken Levit, Gerard Clancy and others. Levit is executive director of the George Kaiser Family Foundation. Clancy is dean of the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine — Tulsa. The logs show Kaiser visited officials including Valerie Jarrett, a senior adviser to Obama, and Rahm Emanuel, White House chief of staff. Kaiser has declined to

comment directly on the Solyndra matter. The foundation, in a statement issued after Solyndra filed for bankruptcy, noted it was “among many investors in Solyndra and has suffered a loss as a result of the company’s inability to overcome serious challenges in the marketplace.” One of the challenges involved subsidies the Chinese government gave to solar manufacturers in that country, the statement noted.

IRS rules Under IRS rules, if the Solyndra investment had made a profit for the George Kaiser Family foundation, Kaiser himself would not have profited because the funds would be required to stay within the foundation. The foundation has about $4 billion in assets and donated about 1 percent of that to charities, most in Tulsa, in 2009, records show. Records indicate the foundation’s private equi-

ty arm, Argonaut, invested in another solar firm that received a loan guarantee. The Department of Energy announced last month it had finalized a $737 million loan guarantee to Solar Reserve LLC to build a solar facility in Nevada. The company’s website lists Argonaut Private Equity among its investors and Steven R. Mitchell as a board “participant.” Mitchell, managing director of Argonaut Private Equity LLC, was a member of Solyndra’s board. In 2006, he was listed as managing director of GKFF Investment Co. LLC, records show.

Guarantee program Records show that the Department of Energy loan guarantee program began in 2007 under the Bush administration to encourage renewable energy development and reduce dependence on foreign oil. On Oct. 7, 2007, Bush Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman invited 16 compa-

nies, including Solyndra, to submit full applications for the program. Key investors at the time included the George Kaiser Family Foundation and Madrone Partners LP, a private equity fund related to the Walmart founder’s family. On Jan. 9, 2009, a loan committee determined that the Solyndra project needed additional study and did not approve the loan guarantee. But by Sept. 2 of that year, the Energy Department signed off on the loan guarantee. Records show that officials in the Office of Management and Budget raised numerous concerns that the company was not fi-

nancially sound and could go bankrupt. Approval of the loan came two days before a Solyndra groundbreaking Sept. 4, 2009, emails released by the committee indicate. “It’s the same day unemployment numbers come out and we’d want to use this as an example where the Recovery Act is helping create new high tech jobs,” states one email written about a week before the deal was approved. Kaiser’s last meeting with Obama administration officials before the Solyndra loan was approved occurred on June 25, 2009, records show.

Study discussed Knowles said that in the meetings he attended with Kaiser and administration officials, they discussed an upcoming study by the energy institute. That study finds that solar energy technology “is still a relatively inefficient means of energy conversion.” Other visits by Kaiser to Washington involved efforts to preserve funding for Early Head Start programs, said Steven Dow, executive director for Community Action Project of Tulsa County.

Cancer survivors share bond at race

Thousands of walkers begin the one-mile walk at the Komen Oklahoma City Race for the Cure in Bricktown.

HEALTH | PINK HATS IDENTIFY THOSE WHO HAVE BATTLED BREAST CANCER BY MATT PATTERSON Staff Writer mpatterson@opubco.com

Linda Lowe and Connie McGowen work alongside each other at the Federal Aviation Administration in Oklahoma City, but that’s not the only thing the two have in common. Lowe, 56, and McGowen, 55, ran and walked in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure on Saturday morning in downtown Oklahoma City. They are co-workers, friends and breast cancer survivors. Lowe never thought she’d get breast cancer. It didn’t run in her family, and she was diligent about getting annual mammograms. But doctors found a tumor in her breast seven years ago. “I was shocked,” Lowe said. “And it wasn’t just a small tumor, it was a huge one.” Lowe had a double mastectomy. It hasn’t been an easy road, but she said she finds inspiration in being around so many survivors. At the Race for the Cure, survivors are noted by the pink baseball caps they wear. “It really helps to see this many people out here supporting this cause,” she said. “It just gets bigger and better every year.” McGowen also has faced the battle. Two years ago a mammogram revealed a lump in one of her breasts.

“I had a lumpectomy, I was one of the fortunate ones,” McGowen said. “I’m thankful I didn’t skip my mammogram that year. We found it early so I didn’t have to go through chemo but I did have radiation treatment.” For the co-workers, the bond shared by facing the same disease is strong. “We’ve both been through the same thing,” McGowen said. “It helps to have someone who knows what you’re going through because it’s a very difficult experience.” It’s a shared experience for many at the survivors’ breakfast. The energy created from the Race for the Cure, even at such an early hour, is contagious to those who have been through the battle and their families. Nancy Davis, 44, doesn’t have breast cancer and she wasn’t running in the race, but she wanted to see what the Race for the Cure was like. She was at RedHawks Field Saturday morning with her teenage daughter. “It’s inspiring,” she said. “You see so many women with pink hats. It takes a lot to get me up to get out here on a Saturday morning, but really when you look at them and how much fun they’re having and all their courage it’s inspiring. We plan on making this a tradition for us.”

Warwick, Grier accept Langston doctorates BY YVETTE WALKER Night News Director ywalker@opubco.com

Three iconic women of song, stage and screen appeared at Langston University’s President’s Scholarship Gala at the Cox Convention Center on Friday night. The names are wellknown, if generational — ’60s singer Dionne Warwick, ’70s actress Pam Grier and ’80s Broadway actress/singer Jennifer Holliday — and they all contributed to the annual event, which raises money for student scholarships. Holliday entertained, and Langston University Interim President Henry Ponder gave honorary doctorates to Warwick and Grier. Grier, who starred in 1974’s “Foxy Brown,” made a comeback in the 1997 crime thriller “Jackie Brown,” and has starred in recent movies, and cable and TV series such as “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” and “The L Word.” However, Ponder said he was impressed by her interest in agriculture and Western heritage. Grier sponsors a community garden on the grounds of Fort Worth’s National Multicultural Heritage Museum. She said she started it for practical reasons. “The community was very hungry, and they wanted to know how to grow nutritious food,” she said, adding people need organic and “decent holistic food” to eat. “Without nutritious food, she said, “we set our students and our community up to fail.” Warwick is as known for her lilting ’60s ballad “Do You Know the Way to San Jose?” as for her 1982 song for AIDS research, “That’s What Friends Are For.”

Jennifer Holliday perfoms Friday at the scholarship gala.

Ponder said Warwick’s philanthropic and charitable activities made her a worthy candidate for the honorary degree. Warwick called the award “prestigious.” “I happen to know the full value of a scholarship, as I was awarded a scholarship to follow my dreams and graduated from the University of Hartford ... from the Hartt School of Music.” She thanked the university, sponsors and guests for their dedication in giving and spoke to the students in the form of familiar lyrics: “I say to the recipients on behalf of all the donors ... “They want you to keep smiling, keep shining,

“Knowing you can always count on them, for sure ... “That’s what friends — and they are your friends — that’s what they’re for.” Earlier in the evening Holliday stole the show, belting out a mini-concert of at least six songs (including the showstopping “And I’m Telling You” from Broadway’s “Dreamgirls”). Part-comedian, part-inspirational speaker, she revealed that she turns 51 next week, and has had multiple sclerosis for 15 years, but shared the message that it’s never too late to change your life. “I’m grateful to God that I can still sing. I’ve been paralyzed for a while, and I’ve been blind, but I can still sing.” After Holliday’s last song, Grier ran on stage in tears, and presented her a corsage that the singer had mentioned she needed for a concert in Washington, D.C., on Sunday. The event raised $155,000 in sponsorships and $120,000 in ticket sales, said Jeff Packham in Langston’s Office of Public Relations.

‘IT’S IMPORTANT THAT WE ACKNOWLEDGE EACH OF THEM AND HONOR THEIR SERVICE AND THEIR SACRIFICE’

Honoring Oklahoma’s WWII veterans BY BRYAN PAINTER Staff Writer bpainter@opubco.com

Bud Stark leaned forward and touched the Eagle, Globe and Anchor emblem on the base of the Marine Corps War Memorial. When many look at that memorial or even think about the Battle of Iwo Jima, they can see Joe Rosenthal’s Pulitzer Prizewinning photo. That’s not what Stark, of Norman, saw at all as he journeyed Wednesday with fellow veterans on the Oklahoma Honor Flights trip to the Washington area. The 85-year-old left the sidewalk and entered the green grass. Just seeing the memorial wouldn’t be enough. “It touched my heart to touch the monument and talk to my old buddies,” Stark said. “I felt I was closer to them and could talk to them.” Some estimate that 1,000 World War II veterans are dying each day. With that in mind, state Rep. Gary Banz, R-Midwest City, started the Oklahoma Honor Flights hub in 2009. The latest trip was the fifth, with 103 veterans traveling to visit the World War II Memorial. As it was raining, they took a windshield tour, driving by the Lincoln and Korean War memorials and mentioned the Vietnam Memorial. They stopped at the Marine Corps War Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery. Banz said 16 million responded to the call to serve in World War II. Current estimates identify fewer than 3 million remain. At best estimates, about 60,000 are living in Oklahoma, Banz said.

“It’s important that we acknowledge each of them and honor their service and their sacrifice,” he said. On Tuesday night, the veterans were recognized during a ceremony at Rose State College. At 4 a.m. Wednesday, they boarded buses. At 7 a.m., their flight departed Will Rogers World Airport, taking them closer to their memories of World War II.

went into the Marine Corps. He was a lot of fun.” They went through boot camp and advance training together and then it was off to war. “J.R. was about 40 feet from me when he was killed at Iwo (Jima),” Stark said, his voice almost in a whisper. “I had to pay homage to J.R. and all the others around me that we lost. I just had to. “I’m sure happy I made the trip, I know that.”

He ‘just had to’

They never stopped

Stark grew up in Sherman, Texas, about 2 miles from his buddy, J.R. Sullivan. The two teenage boys joined the service together. “We grew up during the Depression,” Stark said. “J.R. never had a new pair of pants until he

The Will Rogers quote, “We can’t all be heroes. Some of us have to stand on the curb and clap as they go by,” was just inside the cover page of the program for the Oklahoma Honor Flights recognition ceremony. In the time it took Tuesday

night for slightly more than 100 World War II veterans to file into Rose State Performing Arts Theatre, the clapping never ceased, and the hundreds of family and friends never sat down. The emotions continued to roll just like the waves on the beaches many of them never have forgotten. At the playing of “Taps,” tears trickled under wire-framed glasses over wrinkles that represented trenches of time. During the playing of the songs of each of the military branches, veterans stood, or if unable to do so, gestured accordingly. All proud, some tightjawed, others smiling. One veteran gave a double-fist pump to the words “nothing can stop the U.S. Air Force.”

During the ceremony, a stage video screen showed a photo of two hands, one delivering a baton to the other. The exchange zone in a relay race is an example Banz offers when talking about Oklahoma Honor Flights and how the generations of the past are placing the responsibility of defending this nation in the hands of those much younger. This is done at top speed without breaking stride, Banz said. As they entered the ceremony, the veterans were paired with students in ROTC and Civil Air Patrol. The veterans were given a pocket-size copy of the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights that they took the oath to “preserve, protect and defend.” The young people were given an Oklahoma Honor Flights coin created to honor the veterans “as our heroes,” Banz said. The students and the veterans were asked to stand and face each other, if possible, and exchange these items. A young red-haired man presented the commemorative coin to the man with thick white hair and received the pocket-size copy. Then the ROTC student gently patted the veteran on the back of his left shoulder while they looked at each other and smiled. “Young people, these are your heroes,” Banz said. “Take the baton and honor them by pledging to preserve, protect and defend our Constitution and our way of life.” The baton had been passed.

As World War II veterans have aged, the emphasis is placed on ensuring they have an opportunity to go to Washington to visit their memorial. The inaugural Honor Flight took place in May 2005. A half-dozen small planes flew out of Springfield, Ohio, taking 12 World War II veterans on a visit to the memorial, according to the national organization’s website. In August 2005, an ever-increasing waiting list of veterans led to a transition to commercial airline carriers with the goal of accommodating as many veterans as possible. Partnering with HonorAir in Hendersonville, N.C., they formed the “Honor Flight Network.”

On Sept. 24, 2007, HonorAir out of Hendersonville, N.C., and Henderson County, N.C., were the first city and the first county in the nation to fly all of their World War II veterans to Washington. In 2009, state Rep. Gary W. Banz, RMidwest City, the son and nephew of five World War II brothers, worked to help start Oklahoma Honor Flights hub. Before that, Oklahoma veterans had to travel with hubs of other states. Slightly more than a week before Veterans Day 2009, then-Gov. Brad Henry threw his support behind a privately funded effort to help World War II service members and other veterans get to Washington to visit national monuments and memorials dedicated to their service. In early November of that year, Henry announced during a state Capi-

tol news conference that Oklahoma had become an official state hub of Honor Flight Network Inc., a national nonprofit organization that raises money to organize and finance trips. And May 17, 2010, marked the inaugural trip of the Oklahoma Honor Flights chapter to Washington. The second trip was taken in October 2010. The Oct. 12 trip was the third of 2011 and the fifth flight overall for Oklahoma Honor Flights, a nonprofit organization created solely to honor Oklahoma’s veterans for their sacrifices. Banz continues to work tirelessly with Oklahoma Honor Flights along with others, including his wife, Linda Banz. With this, the fifth flight, 502 veterans have traveled with the Oklahoma Honor Flights hub. There currently are more than 360 veterans on the waiting list, Banz said.

Oklahoma Honor Flights recognizes American veterans for their sacrifices and achievements by arranging for them to visit Washington at no cost to see the National World War II memorial. Priority: Top priority — for which applications only are being accepted — is given to World War II and terminally ill veterans from all wars. In time, the flights will be expanded to include Korean and Vietnam veterans. Guardians: Guardians fly with the veterans on every flight to provide assistance and to ensure veterans have a safe, memorable, and rewarding experience. Flight goal: The group’s goal is to have three flights in 2012 as it did in 2011. The group intends to take at least 100 veterans on each trip.

them personally.” They were just boys when they left for the war, and many had never been far from home. Kappel was 19, “just a redneck farm kid,” when he left for the Philippines; Joseph Williams, of Del City, said he joined the Army in 1944, just out of high school. Austin was among the older ones — he turned 21 on his way to the South Pacific.

But they were bound by their common mission, and they finally were honored for that with a national memorial here in 2004. And the organizers of the honor flights and the donors to the program are trying to get as many as possible to see it. “Everything has been well planned, ideally put together,’’ Joseph Williams said. “I couldn’t ask for a better trip.”

Vernon’s 84-year-old voice faded. His past and mine had just collided around the memories of one deceased man, Carl W. Keepers. To him, Carl was an older brother. To me, a second-grader at the time, he was the man who didn’t talk just right, who wore a long coat even in the heat of August, but was a very kind and giving soul. Carl would bring coins to my dad’s corner booth at the swap meet under the stadium at Garfield County Fairgrounds. This whiskered friend always had a coin for me. He asked nothing in return just smiled and walked on, leaving me with a grin, and a wheat penny that possibly dated back to about the year his life changed forever. Tuesday night, I was floating from table to table at Rose State College visiting with World War II veterans scheduled to leave the next morning for the fifth of Oklahoma’s Honor Flights. This one was taking 103 men to see their memorial in Washington. While interviewing one of these individuals, I noticed the eyes of the veteran across the round table fixed on mine. Long story, a little shorter, I

Here’s what several Oklahoma veterans said when asked:

Washington Bureau ccasteel@opubco.com

WASHINGTON — “Now I know what royalty feels like,’’ Charles Austin said as he walked along the granite plaza of the National World War II Memorial. The Greatest Generation isn’t used to being pampered. But Austin, 88, of Norman, felt that way Wednesday, courtesy of Oklahoma Honor Flights, a nonprofit organization formed to show gratitude to the men and women who served the U.S. military during World War II by taking them, all expenses paid, to Washington to see their memorial and some other sights. “It’s an amazing trip,’’ said Austin, who was one of 103 Oklahoma veterans on the fifth Honor Flights trip from the state. Before the Oklahomans arrived, Honor Flight contingents from Wyoming, Missouri and Tennessee walked the vast memorial as drizzle turned into rain. A supply of wheelchairs was stowed on each bus. Each group had its own hats and T-shirts — Ozarks Honor Flight, Music City Honor Flight, Oklahoma Honor Flights. Some of the veterans were greeted by family members, some from the Washington area and some from farther away. Roger Deapen, of Harrah, toured the memorial with his son, who had come from Los Angeles. As the veterans walked to the memorial’s entrance, six members of the U.S. Air Force saluted, while on-lookers clapped and expressed gratitude for the veterans’ sacrifices. “I’ve never experienced anything like this,’’ said Kelly Kappel, of Clinton. “They have got this thing so organized. They really did a good job.” U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt, a Missouri Republican, was there to greet the veterans from his state. U.S. Rep. Jim Cooper, D-Tenn., was there for his. U.S. Rep. James Lankford, R-Oklahoma City, stood in the plaza of the memorial talking to the

made my way around and started to introduce myself, but he interrupted and said, “I knew your dad and your uncle.” I went ahead and said, “I’m Bryan Painter, with The Oklahoman,” in case he was confused. He continued, “I knew your uncle, Bonnie, and your dad, Clarence.” There was no name tag on me. This man lives in Boise City in the far western Panhandle. He had no idea where I worked, or that my father died Sept. 3, 1999. Vernon didn’t know who I was, but I guess through resemblance, he knew whose I was. He had grown up in Enid,

around the corner from my dad and uncle. This left me stunned. Recovering a little, and not yet having asked his name, the stick-on tag read “Vernon Keepers.” “Who was Carl Keepers?” I blurted out. “He was my brother, he died in August, 12 years ago,” he said. “I’m going for me, but I’m especially going for Carl.” Sadly, I’d missed an article written by my co-worker Michael McNutt in late March 1995. It was a story about a man who received a Purple Heart and other medals almost exactly 50 years after he was wounded for a second

time during World War II. That man was Carl W. Keepers, a Marine paratrooper. Carl suffered a leg wound at the island of Bougainville near the Solomon Islands. Having recovered, he was sent to the 27th Regiment of the 5th Marine Division as part of the ground force attacking Iwo Jima on Feb. 19, 1945. Carl was critically injured on March 11, 1945, during the battle for Iwo Jima. The machine-gunner corporal was hit in the head with shrapnel from an explosion. Doctors operated but left pieces of shrapnel close to his brain. Hospitalized for

months, he received his honorable discharge in February 1946. “They brought him back to the states at Camp Pendleton while I was in the boot camp in the Navy in San Diego,” Vernon told me. “I got to go see him.” Vernon went from boot camp to engineering school and days after graduation, World War II ended. Still serving, he was on ships with assignments including picking up Army soldiers in the Philippines and bringing them back home to the U.S. “After the war, Carl would never talk about it,” Vernon said, “and I didn’t ask. Sometimes trying to relive those things is more difficult than experiencing them.” Carl lost some mental faculties and, after going back to Enid in ’46, was unable to keep a full-time job. He never married. In his apartment, he kept a little replica of the Iwo Jima Memorial and some pictures. “That’s where he almost lost his life, so it was very important to him,” Vernon said. “That’s why this trip is so important to me.”

Age: 85 Hometown: Choctaw Military Branch: U.S. Navy “Well there are several, but I think probably the most notable is that my communication officer told me that I’d messed up again when I reported that I’d just received the message that a bomb with the force of 200 B-29s had just been dropped on Hiroshima. He said ‘Well you’ve messed up again. It couldn’t possibly be that big.”

JAMES LAWSON Age: 87 Hometown: Tulsa Military Branch: U.S. Army “Sailing into New York harbor and seeing the Statue of Liberty was the thing that cheered me up. I’d had enough of that over there.”

BILLY JOHNSON Age: 87 Hometown: Ponca City Military Branch: U.S. Navy He was working in a Naval station not far from Washington, D.C., and had “liberty coming up for the weekend” but was denied. So he never got to D.C. to see the sights. “I’m getting even with him now,” he said laughing.

GLEN STEWART Age: 88 Hometown: Tulsa Military Branch: U.S. Army Air Corps Stewart, a crewman, flew on 65 missions. “I guess Christmas Day of 1944. I’ll always remember that of course. We took off in the dark and landed in the dark, flew two bombing missions that day, ate turkey between them.”

GEORGE TEAGUE Age: 90 Hometown: Oklahoma City Military Branch: U.S. Army Air Corps “I appreciate the ones that are fighting today.”

RICHARD COMBEST Age: 87 Hometown: Ponca City Military Branch: U.S. Army Air Corps “You’d have a full crew the first of the week and down a few come the next week.”

NEW YORK — Thousands of demonstrators protesting corporate greed filled Times Square on Saturday night, mixing with gawkers, Broadway showgoers, tourists and police to create a chaotic scene in the midst of Manhattan. “Banks got bailed out, we got sold out!” protesters chanted from within police barricades. Police, some in riot gear and mounted on horses, tried to funnel the crowds away. Sandy Peterson of Salt Lake City, who was in Times Square after seeing “The Book of Mormon” musical on Broadway, got caught up in the disorder. “We’re getting out of here before this gets ugly,” she said. Sandra Fox, 69, of Baton Rouge, La., stood, confused, on 46th Street with a ticket for “Anything Goes” in her hand as riot police pushed a knot of about 200 shouting protesters toward her. “I think it’s horrible what they’re doing,” she said of the protesters. “These people need to go get jobs.” Two dozen people were arrested on charges of criminal trespass Saturday morning when demonstrators entered a Citibank branch near Washington Square Park and refused to leave, police said. One protester also was arrested on a charge of resisting arrest. Earlier in the day, demonstrators paraded to a Chase bank branch, bang-

ing drums, blowing horns and carrying signs decrying corporate greed. Marchers throughout the country emulated them in protests that ranged from about 50 people in Jackson, Miss., to about 2,000 in the larger city of Pittsburgh. “Banks got bailed out. We got sold out,” the crowd of as many as 1,000 in Manhattan chanted. A few protesters went inside the bank to close their accounts, but the group didn’t stop other custom-

ers from getting inside or seek to blockade the business. Overseas, violence broke out in Rome, where police fired tear gas and water cannons at some protesters who were smashing shop and bank windows, torching cars and hurling bottles. Dozens were injured. Tens of thousands nicknamed “the indignant” marched in cities across Europe. Protesters also turned out in Australia and Asia.

Can protests last without leaders? BY CHRIS HAWLEY AND DAVID B. CARUSO Associated Press

NEW YORK — They were out to change the world, overthrow the establishment and liberate the poor. But first somebody would have to do something about those bongo drums. At the Occupy Wall Street protest camp in Manhattan, protesters agonized over what to do about drum players who had turned part of the site into an impromptu dance floor. The neighbors were complaining about the racket. The protesters had tried to put a time limit on the noise, but the drummers were refusing to obey. “It’s an issue, definitely,” sighed protester Kanene Holder, 31, on Friday night. “We’ll have to work

it out.” Reining in a few pesky percussionists would seem to be an easy task for a movement seemingly on the verge of becoming a political force. But one month after it burst onto the scene and inspired similar protests across the country, the Occupy Wall Street protest remains stubbornly decentralized. On Saturday the protesters planned to march on bank offices and into Times Square. But while their message against corporate greed has struck a nerve with many Americans, the lack of leaders has baffled many. In Minneapolis, Hennepin County Sheriff Rich Stanek has been meeting every morning with a delegation of protesters — “at least, the ones who come forward and say they are

the organizers,” Stanek said. Protesters say the decentralization is deliberate and note that other movements, like the 1960s civil rights effort, began in a similarly disorganized way.

Coming off a week when his nearly $450 billion jobs bill died in the Senate, Obama made no reference to that failure, instead promising to renew efforts to get Republicans to vote on individual components of the legislation. “Next week, I’m urging members of Congress to vote on putting hundreds of thousands of teachers back in the classroom, cops back on the streets and firefighters back on the job,” Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address Saturday. “And if they vote n ` o’ on that, they’ll have to tell you why,” he said. They’ll have to tell you why teachers in your community don’t deserve a paycheck again. They’ll have to tell your kids why they don’t deserve to have their teacher back. They’ll have to tell you why they’re against common-sense proposals that would help families and strengthen our communities right now.”

DEFENSE SHIFTS IN DOCTOR’S TRIAL LOS ANGELES — Dr. Conrad Murray’s attorney says he knew months before the physician’s trial that a theory that Michael Jackson drank a fatal dose of the anesthetic propofol would have to be abandoned. Defense attorney J. Michael Flanagan made the statement Friday. Murray has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter in the June 2009 death of the superstar from an overdose of propofol. The idea of Jackson orally giving himself the fatal dose was long touted by defense attorneys as a centerpiece of their case. The attorneys have even referred to a fruit juice jar found at Jackson’s bedside, suggesting he had taken the drug with juice. Flanagan initially dropped the bombshell Wednesday that the defense was abandoning the strategy. “We are not going to assert at any point in this trial that Michael Jackson at any time orally ingested propofol,” he said. “We abandoned oral propofol months ago,” said Flanagan, saying they were swayed by a report from the leading expert on the drug, who is expected to testify for the prosecution next week. He said Dr. Steven Shafer had questioned “the bioavailability of oral propofol,” meaning whether it would be absorbed into the body if swallowed. ASSOCIATED PRESS

Cain demonstrates his marketing skills BY SHANNON MCCAFFREY Associated Press

JACKSON, Tenn. — Herman Cain is firing up the crowd at a tea party rally in this West Tennessee town when the generator powering his sound system shudders to a halt. Cain stands awkwardly for a few moments then suddenly begins to sing. Slowly at first but gaining in speed, he belts out “Impossible Dream” in the rich baritone he’s honed in church choir. “You know, when it’s your rally, you can do what you want to do!” Cain says as he finishes with a raucous laugh. The 500 or so supporters who jammed the strip mall parking lot to hear the Republican Party’s newest star roar their approval. Momentum restored, Cain launches into a pitch for his signature 9-9-9 tax plan, and the crowd is right there with him, chanting 9-9-9. The 65-year-old’s improbable campaign for the presidency is all about momentum right now. How does he maintain the wave he’s riding in recent polls that have catapulted to the elite top tier in the GOP race? There are many reasons his bid could fade as quickly as it rose. He acknowledged Friday that he will trail former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Texas Gov. Rick Perry significantly in fundraising. Cain has never held elected office and could wilt under the rigors of the campaign trail. But Cain’s moment is right now, and the former Godfather’s pizza chief ex-

ecutive is marketing himself with practiced skill, banking on his charisma and the notion that the messenger is as important as the message. “In the field right now, he’s the most like me,” said Jimmy Hoppers, 60, a physician from Jackson, who was hoping to meet Cain so he could hand-deliver a $1,000 donation to his campaign. “He’s run a business and paid the bills. He’s authentic.” On Friday night Cain, who is black, drew about 2,000 people — some in workshirts and overalls and nearly all white — to a feed barn in rural Waverly, Tenn. Cain — ever the salesman — knows his audience. He closes by invoking God and singing the hymn “He Looked Beyond My Faults.” “I love him,” gushed truck driver James Bland after Cain spoke. “He doesn’t talk down to you. I think he gets the working man.” “And it makes me so happy that he’s put God back into things,” chimed in Bland’s wife, Karen. In a year of anti-govern-

ment fervor, Cain is casting himself as the antipolitician Main Street candidate who would bring common-sense business know-how to the bureaucratic thick of Washington. The former conservative radio show host is brash and straight-talking, saying that “stupid people are ruining America.” He mimics liberals with a high-pitched whiny voice. “Well, he doesn’t have foreign policy experience,” he says to laughs. “And the guy we have in there now does?” Cain doesn’t ignore the race issue, saying that some critics have called him “a racist” and an “Oreo” for leaving the “Democrat plantation.” “I have grown up telling it like it is and I am going to continue to tell it like it is,” he said at a campaign rally in a suburb of Memphis, where he was born. “I don’t talk politician.” Voters are responding He drew large crowds Friday as he kicked off a two-day bus tour in Tennessee, hopscotching to three tea party events across the state.

Bachmann pledges to seek border fence BY MIKE GLOVER Associated Press

PERRY, Iowa — Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann on Saturday signed a pledge to push for construction of a fence along the entire length of the border with Mexico, raising the issue of illegal immigration in an Iowa town where about one third of the residents are Hispanic. Bachmann also renewed her attacks on the immigration policies of Gov. Rick Perry of Texas, one of the rivals for the Republican nomination, and she criticized President Barack Obama for what she called his failure to control the

border. “I will secure that border and that will be job one,” she said. Bachmann’s call for increased border security was made in a town where the meatpacking industry has drawn immigrant workers. Thirty-two percent of the town’s 9,800 residents are Hispanic. Van Hipp Jr., head of Americans for Securing Our Border, said Bachmann was the first GOP presidential hopeful to sign the pledge. The document binds Bachmann to support the construction of a double fence along the U.S. border with Mexico by 2013.

WASINGTON BRIEFS LAWMAKERS PRAISE TRADE DEALS

LANKFORD WORKS ON POSTAL SERVICE BILL FOR SMALL POST OFFICES

Rep. Frank Lucas, the chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, said the trade deals approved with Colombia, Panama and South Korea last week will help the farm sector “compete globally, expand U.S. exports, create jobs and bring much-needed income to communities across rural America.” Lucas, R-Cheyenne, has been pushing for the deals to give farmers and ranchers better access to the markets in those countries. The House and Senate approved the deals. All five of the U.S. House members from Oklahoma voted for the deals. Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Tulsa, also voted for them; Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Muskogee, had surgery for prostate cancer and missed the vote. According to Lucas’ committee, farm exports could grow by nearly $2 billion once the agreement with South Korea is fully implemented and by $370 million in Colombia. Rep. James Lankford, R-Oklahoma City, said exports have benefited a broad range of Oklahoma companies. “The Oklahoma economy is supported by more than $5 billion a year flowing through the state as a result of trade,” Lankford said. “Over the past 14 years, exports from Oklahoma to South Korea, Panama and Colombia have increased 63 percent, 105 percent and 661 percent, respectively. We can further improve exports with the passage of these trade agreements.”

Legislation to reform the U.S. Postal Service was amended by Rep. James Lankford to give small post offices the same rights to appeal closure as bigger post offices have. Lankford, R-Oklahoma City, also changed the bill to give the beleaguered agency some temporary financial relief by delaying $4.5 billion in payments the service must make to prefund retiree health benefits. “These two amendments improve an already strong bill,” Lankford said. “Postponing health insurance contributions for four years will give the Postal Service more time and flexibility to implement reforms and ease the pressure of finding quick fixes that will only hurt current employees. Additionally, allowing rural postal branches and stations the same appeals process will ensure each community’s voice is heard during the streamlining of branch locations.” The postal service is considering closing 95 post offices in Oklahoma, mostly in rural areas, and closing nearly 3,700 nationwide.

COLE WRITES LETTER DISCOURAGING INTERNET GAMING AS FEDERAL REVENUE Rep. Tom Cole, R-Moore, has joined a long list of lawmakers who have written letters to the congressional “super committee” about possible debt reduction proposals. Cole sent a letter seeking to discourage Internet gaming as a new source of federal revenue and to protect the interests of Indian tribal gaming. Cole is a member of the Chickasaw Nation, which operates several casinos in Oklahoma. He told the committee that he didn’t support Internet gaming. However, he wrote, “if an Internet gaming regime is established, anything short of a comprehensive system developed through the regular committee process threatens the constitutionally recognized sovereignty of Indian tribes.” Tribal gaming, Cole wrote, is regulated by the National Indian Gaming Commission and guided by compacts between states and individual tribes. Internet gaming by tribes would have to be regulated by the commission under the framework established by federal law, he wrote. The super committee, which must come up with at least $1.2 trillion in deficit reduction by Thanksgiving, has held many of its deliberations behind closed doors and it’s not clear whether Internet gaming is being discussed. Cole told the committee that Internet gaming would generate relatively little revenue for the federal government and, because of opposition, could jeopardize any plan the committee develops.

Romney’s GOP success brews tea party test BY CHARLES BABINGTON Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney’s early success in the Republican presidential race is challenging the tea party’s clout. Will it continue to pull the GOP sharply right? Will it slowly fade? Or merge with mainstream Republican elements in a nod to pragmatism, something it’s hardly known for? On the surface, Romney’s strength seems at odds with the tea party’s fiery success in ousting Republicans seen as compromisers, and in making the House GOP caucus more ideological, even when its leaders plead for flexibility. Romney defends the government’s 2008 bank bailouts, plus the mandated health insurance he initiated as Massachusetts governor. He says he can work with “good Democrats.” Although he later changed, Romney once supported abortion rights, gun control and gay rights. These positions run counter to the beliefs and goals of many tea party activists scattered throughout the country. Yet Romney is faring better in polls, fundraising and debates than are contenders with stronger tea party credentials, including Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum and Rick Perry.

Several Republican strategists, and even some tea party leaders, say they aren’t surprised or alarmed. Their overarching goal is to defeat President Barack Obama next year, they say, and if Romney is best-positioned to do that, they’ll endure his shortcomings. “The perception that tea partyers are ideological purists is wrong,” said Sal Russo, a longtime Republican strategist in California and a leader of the Tea Party Express. “We are a broad-based movement,” he said, “and we are looking to win in 2012.” Danny Diaz, a Washington-based Republican strategist unaligned with any presidential candidates, agrees. “The tea party movement is an anti-Washington movement,” he said. While Perry and Herman Cain might make a more dynamic claim to that mantle, he said, Romney has never lived in Washington, and tea party activists won’t rule him out. “Many of them are pragmatists,” Diaz said. They desperately want to oust Obama, he said. A CBS-New York Times poll found that tea partyers are more satisfied with the GOP presidential field than are Republicans in general. Cain was the top choice among tea party activists, with Romney second.

U.S. drops plans to remain in Iraq BY LARA JAKES AND REBECCA SANTANA Associated Press

BAGHDAD — The U.S. is abandoning plans to keep U.S. troops in Iraq past a year-end withdrawal deadline, The Associated Press has learned. The decision to pull out fully by January will effectively end more than eight years of U.S. involvement in the Iraq War, despite ongoing concerns about its security forces and the potential for instability. The decision ends months of hand-wringing by U.S. officials over whether to stick to a Dec. 31 withdrawal deadline that was set in 2008 or negotiate a new security agreement to ensure that gains made and more than 4,400 American military lives lost since March 2003 do not go to waste. In recent months, Washington has been discussing with Iraqi leaders the possibility of several

thousand American troops remaining to continue training Iraqi security forces. A Pentagon spokesman said Saturday that no final decision has been reached about the U.S. training relationship with the Iraqi government. But a senior Obama administration official in Washington confirmed Saturday that all American troops will leave Iraq except for about 160 activeduty soldiers attached to the U.S. Embassy. A senior U.S. military official confirmed the departure and said the withdrawal could allow future but limited U.S. military training missions in Iraq if requested. Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity. Throughout the discussions, Iraqi leaders have adamantly refused to give U.S. troops immunity from prosecution in Iraqi courts, and the Americans have refused to stay without it.

Yemen air strike kills 9 al-Qaida militants BY HAMZA HENDAWI Associated Press

SANAA, Yemen — The United States raised the tempo in its war against alQaida in Yemen, killing nine of the terror group’s militants in the second, high-profile air strike in as many weeks. The dead in the late Friday night strike included the son of Anwar al-Awlaki, the prominent American-Yemeni militant killed Sept. 30. The successes come even as Yemen falls deeper into turmoil, with President Ali Abdullah Saleh

clinging to power in the face of months of massive protests. At least 18 people were killed Saturday when Saleh’s troops fired on protesters and clashed with rivals. “Everyone with interests in Yemen, including al-Qaida and the Americans, is raising the stakes at this time of uncertainty” said analyst AbdulBari Taher. “The Americans are wasting no time to try and eliminate the alQaida threat before the militants dig in deeper and cannot be easily dislodged.”

WORLD HIGHEST BIRTHRATES ADD TO BURDEN OF DEEPEST POVERTY

Challenges lie ahead as population hits 7 billion BY DAVID CRARY

AT A GLANCE

AP National Writer

She’s a 40-year-old mother of eight, with a ninth child due soon. The family homestead in a Burundi village is too small to provide enough food, and three of the children have quit school for lack of money to pay required fees. “I regret to have made all those children,” says Godelive Ndageramiwe. “If I were to start over, I would only make two or three.” At Ahmed Kasadha’s prosperous farm in eastern Uganda, it’s a different story. “My father had 25 children — I have only 14 so far, and expect to produce more in the future,” says Kasadha, who has two wives. He considers a large family a sign of success and a guarantee of support in his old age. By the time Ndageramiwe’s ninth child arrives, and any further members of the Kasadha clan, the world’s population will have passed a momentous milestone. As of Oct. 31, according to the U.N. Population Fund, 7 billion people will be sharing Earth’s land and resources.

Ironic milestone for many In Western Europe, Japan and Russia, it will be an ironic milestone amid worries about low birthrates and aging populations. In China and India, the two most populous nations, it’s an occasion to reassess policies that have already slowed once-rapid growth. But in Burundi, Uganda and the rest of sub-Saharan Africa, the demographic news is mostly sobering as the region staggers under the double burden of the world’s highest birthrates and deepest poverty. The regional population of nearly 900 million could reach 2 billion in 40 years at current rates, accounting for about half of the projected global population growth over that span. “Most of that growth will be in Africa’s cities, and in those cities it will almost all be in slums where living conditions are horrible,” said John Bongaarts of the Population Council, a New York-based research organization. Is catastrophe inevitable? Not necessarily. But experts say most of Africa — and other high-growth developing nations such as Afghanistan and Pakistan — will be hardpressed to furnish enough food, water and jobs for their people, especially without major new familyplanning initiatives. “Extreme poverty and large families tend to reinforce each other,” says Lester Brown, the environmental analyst who heads the Earth Policy Institute in Washington. “The challenge is to intervene in that cycle and accelerate the shift to smaller families.”

Food, water shortages Without such intervention, Brown says, food and water shortages could fuel political destabilization in developing regions. “There’s quite a bit of land that could produce food if we had the water to go with it,” he said. “It’s water that’s becoming the real constraint.”

GROWTH RATE SURGES According to demographers, the world’s population didn’t reach 1 billion until 1804, and it took 123 years to hit the 2 billion mark in 1927. Then the pace accelerated — 3 billion in 1959, 4 billion in 1974, 5 billion in 1987, 6 billion in 1998. Looking ahead, the U.N. projects that the world population will reach 8 billion by 2025, 10 billion by 2083. But the numbers could be much higher or lower, depending on such factors as access to birth control, infant mortality rates and average life expectancy — which has risen from 48 years in 1950 to 69 years today.

The International Water Management Institute shares these concerns, predicting that by 2025 about 1.8 billion people will live in places suffering from severe water scarcity. “Overall, this is not a cause for alarm — the world has absorbed big gains since 1950,” said Bongaarts, a vice president of the Population Council. But he cautioned that strains are intensifying: rising energy and food prices, environmental stresses, more than 900 million people undernourished. “For the rich, it’s totally manageable,” Bongaarts said. “It’s the poor, everywhere, who will be hurt the most.”

Family planning goals The executive director of the U.N. Population Fund, former Nigerian health minister Babatunde Osotimehin, describes the 7 billion milestone as a call to action — especially in the realm of enabling adolescent girls to stay in school and empowering women to control the number of children they have. “It’s an opportunity to bring the issues of population, women’s rights and family planning back to center stage,” he said in an interview. “There are 215 million women worldwide who need family planning and don’t get it. If we can change that, and these women can take charge of their lives, we’ll have a better world.” But as Osotimehin noted, population-related challenges vary dramatically around the world.

The Asian giants For nearly 7 million commuters who ride the overtaxed suburban rail network in Mumbai, India, each work day, every ride is a scramble. Each car is jam-packed; sometimes, riders die when they lose their foothold while clinging to the doors. Already the second most populous country, with 1.2 billion people, India is expected to overtake China around 2030 when its population soars to an estimated 1.6 billion. But even as the numbers increase, the pace of the growth has slowed. Demographers say India’s fertility rate — now 2.6 children per woman — should fall to 2.1 by 2025 and to 1.8 by 2035. More than half of India’s popula-

tion is under 25, and some policy planners say this so-called “youth dividend” could fuel a productive surge over the next few decades. For now, China remains the most populous nation, with 1.34 billion people. In the past decade it added 73.9 million, more than the population of France or Thailand. Nonetheless, its growth has slowed dramatically and the population is projected to start shrinking in 2027. By 2050, according to some demographers, it will be smaller than it is today.

Western Europe Spain used to give parents more than $3,000 for every newborn child to encourage families to reverse the country’s low birth rate. But the checks stopped coming with Spain’s austerity measures, raising the question of who will pay the bills to support the elderly in the years ahead. Spain and Italy, both forced to enact painful austerity measures in a bid to narrow budget deficits, are battling common problems: Women have chosen to have their first child at a later age, and the difficulties of finding jobs and affordable housing are discouraging some couples from having any children at all. In 2010, for the fourth consecutive year, more Italians died than were born, according to the national statistics agency. Italy’s population nonetheless grew slightly to 60.6 million due to immigration, which is a highly charged issue across Europe. Unlike many countries in Europe, France’s population is growing slightly but steadily every year. It has one of the highest birth rates in the European Union with around 2 children per woman. One reason is immigration to France by Africans with large-family traditions, but it’s also due to familyfriendly legislation. The government offers public preschools, subsidies to all families that have more than one child, generous maternity leave, and tax exemptions for employers of nannies. Like France, the United States has one of the highest population growth rates among industrialized nations. Its fertility rate is just below the replacement rate of 2.1 children per woman, but its population has been increasing by almost 1 percent annually due to immigration. With 312 million people, the U.S. is the third most populous country after China and India.

Africa Lagos, Nigeria, is expected to overtake Cairo soon as Africa’s largest city. Private water vendors there do a brisk business in the many neighborhoods that otherwise lack access to potable water. The power grid doesn’t produce enough power. Periodic blackouts extend for hours, days, sometimes weeks. Such is daily life in Nigeria’s commercial capital, where the population is estimated at 15 million and growing at 6 percent or more each year. Problems with traffic congestion, sanitation and water supplies are staggering; a recent article in UN-Habitat said two-thirds of the residents live in poverty.

Stunned by bloodshed, Egyptians torn over army BY SARAH EL DEEB Associated Press

CAIRO — An army crackdown on a protest that killed more than 20 Christians has not only stunned Egyptians, it has left them with deeply torn feelings toward the force seen as the protector of the nation. Even supporters of the ruling military are grappling with the question of how the bloodshed could have happened. The deaths a week ago deepened mistrust of the military among the “revolutionary” sector, the liberal and leftist activists who have been leading protests against the generals’ rule for months. They have become increasingly vocal in calls for the army

ALSO IN THE NEWS ... ALL DISCRIMINATION MADE ILLEGAL CAIRO — Egypt’s transitional military rulers have

issued a decree prohibiting all forms of discrimination, including on the basis of religion. The step comes about a week after 26 people were killed in clashes involving minority Coptic Christian protesters, the military and others. It was the worst bloodshed since Hosni Mubarak’s ouster in February. The anti-discrimination measure carries a maximum penalty of three months in prison and a fine of up to nearly $17,000.

to step aside. A broader sector of the public has been thrown into shocked confusion. Many Egyptians view the military as the last bastion of stability — a force “made up of our own

sons,” as many often say — and tend to trust it to handle the transition toward a democratic system. So images of army troops wildly running over protesters with armored vehicles have jolted them.

OTHER TOP NEWS STORIES PARDONS BEGIN FOR PALESTINIANS JERUSALEM — Israel’s president on Saturday began the process of formally pardoning hundreds of Palestinian prisoners who are to be exchanged for an Israeli soldier held by Gaza militants for five years. A spokeswoman for President Shimon Peres said he received the files of hundreds of prisoners set for release in the first phase of the deal and has 48 hours to sign the pardons. The swap will likely happen Tuesday. Under the deal, 1,027 Palestinians — including some behind attacks on Israelis — will be released in two stages in return for Sgt. Gilad Schalit, who was captured by Hamas-backed militants in a 2006 cross-border raid. Israel has agreed to uneven prisoner exchange deals for decades. This swap, however, is the most lopsided to date. Critics say it encourages more abductions, is unjust to families of those killed in attacks and also poses the risk that freed militants will return to violence.

INMATES DIE IN PRISON RIOT MEXICO CITY — A bloody, hours-long fight in a prison in the Mexican border city of Matamoros on Saturday left 20 inmates dead and 12 injured, state officials said. The fight apparently started with a dispute between two inmates and other prisoners joined in, creating a melee that lasted until authorities retook control of the facility in Matamoros, which sits across the border from Brownsville, Texas. The violence comes as Mexican prison conditions have been under increased scrutiny because of violence and escapes. On Thursday, a fight between gang members at a prison outside Monterrey left seven inmates dead. In July, a riot in a prison in the border city of Juarez killed 17 inmates.

IRAN DISMISSES U.S. ACCUSATIONS TEHRAN, Iran — Iran’s Foreign Ministry dismissed U.S. accusations that Tehran was involved in a plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador in Washington, saying Saturday the claims had no “legal logic.” The ministry said the Iranian government has no connection to Manssor Arbabsiar, the man arrested in the alleged plot. It derided the claims, saying U.S. officials have put forward no proof. “Unilaterally announcing accusations without showing documentation and creating a media wave against Iran is in no way compatible with legal logic, and can only be a purely media and political show,” it said, adding the accusations were “put together based on statements, guesses and suppositions by individuals involved in drug smuggling” would never stand up in a “proper, neutral courtroom.” President Barack Obama said Thursday that the U.S. will be able to support all of its allegations that Iran was directly involved in a plot to kill the Saudi ambassador to the United States, Adel Al-Jubeir.

STORM DELAYS EVACUATION WELLINGTON, New Zealand — Efforts to evacuate

an ill American woman from Antarctica have been delayed due to a storm. Renee-Nicole Douceur, whom doctors suspect suffered from a stroke or brain tumor in late August, had hoped to fly Monday to the city of Christchurch in New Zealand. But a planned rescue flight from Chile never left due to bad weather in Antarctica, the Christchurch newspaper The Press reported.The 58year-old Douceur had earlier asked for an emergency evacuation but was turned down due to concerns over the safety of making such a flight. Her symptoms include faulty vision, as well as speech and memory problems. Douceur, who is from the small coastal town of Seabrook in New Hampshire, works as a manager for contractor Raytheon Polar Services Co. ASSOCIATED PRESS

enough to have this baby,” said another message. “Bubba, if anything happens to me, you take this child.” Initially, she and her brother used the Internet to try to diagnose her illness. The single mother-to-be had been exposed to mold while she was remodeling her home and her symptoms seemed to match up to mold exposure. At her family’s encouragement, she visited a number of doctors. In July, a CT scan revealed that she had head and neck cancer. Now she had to choose between her life and her baby’s life. Phillips said she agonized only for a while before deciding against taking potentially lifesaving chemotherapy in hopes that she would soon hold a healthy baby in her arms.

The turning point Crimm collapsed at her home in Ryan and was rushed to OU Medical Center in Oklahoma City on Aug. 16. Doctors said that the invasive tumor had begun wrapping around the brain stem, slowing squeezing the life out of Crimm. But on a beautiful sunny morning two days later, Crimm felt good enough to sit on the edge of her hospital bed to visit with her brother. He returned to his medical equipment business in Edmond with a lighter heart. At noon, the baby’s heart rate plummeted. Then Crimm’s heart stopped 90 minutes later. With “code blue” issued, doctors and nurses rushed to resuscitate her and decided it was best to take the 2pound, 1-ounce baby, Dottie Mae, by C-section. Phillips raced back to the hospital, where the baby was in neonatal intensive care and the mother was in intensive care in a separate building. “Sister was dying right there. She was gasping,” he said. “The human body fights death.”

A mother’s will Crimm’s will was so strong she got off the ventilator and was no longer under sedation after several days. “There was still a lot of hope at that point,” said Jennifer Phillips, Ray Phillips’ wife. Doctors told the family that a treatment plan developed for Crimm could offer a small chance of surviving the aggressive cancer. “The cancer was such that it had crossed one of her eyes and it had destroyed the muscle behind her eye. It paralyzed her throat. When she did talk, she was hard to understand. As far as her mind, she was there,” Ray Phillips said. But Crimm’s improvement was short-lived. She often fell unconscious and hadn’t been able to sign Dottie’s birth certificate. She hadn’t named the father so Phillips gained guardianship because she frequently told him that if she didn’t survive, she wanted him and his wife to raise the baby with the four children they already had at home. “I think she’s a miracle. I just want to do right by her and do what Stacie asked,” Jennifer Phillips said.

A nurse’s determination On Sept. 8, Crimm stopped breathing and once again was resuscitated. Hospital doctors and nurses warned the family that she likely was dying. “Her heart had stopped. She quit breathing. She was technically dead, and then they brought her back,” said Ray Phillips. But she had not yet held the baby whose life she had chosen above her own. She’d never touched the golden fluff of fuzz framing her baby Dottie’s angelic face. Never counted those fingers as tiny and perfect as a doll’s. Never looked into those dark blue

eyes. But a quiet yet determined nurse and mother, Agi Beo, couldn’t bear to think of Crimm’s emotional pain. “She was in the last stage with the brain tumor. And she never got to see the baby,” Beo said. “This baby was everything she had in this world.” With Crimm’s death imminent, Beo worked

with nurse Jetsy Jacob to step up their questioning of the family, health care professionals and disease experts about Crimm’s condition, including her staph infection. They talked to Neoflight, the medical center’s neonatal transport team, about using a capsule-like ICU to safely move Dottie. When his sister regained consciousness later that day, Phillips asked what

her mother’s chest. The two gazed into each other’s eyes for several minutes. She smiled at the baby who at last lay in her arms. No one said a word. No one had a dry eye. Stacie Crimm died three

days later. Last week, Ray Phillips fulfilled his last promise to his sister. Healthy, 5pound Dottie went home to live with Ray and Jennifer Phillips and her four new siblings.

OKLAHOMA LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS, PROSECUTORS EDUCATE VICTIMS, OFFENDERS ABOUT ABUSE

AT A GLANCE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE As defined in Oklahoma statute: Domestic abuse is an assault and battery against a current or former spouse, a present spouse of a former spouse, a former spouse of a present spouse, parents, a foster parent, a child, a person otherwise related by blood or marriage, a person with whom the defendant is or was in a dating relationship as defined by Section 60.1 of Title 22 of the Oklahoma Statutes, an individual with whom the defendant has had a child, a person who formerly lived in the same household as the defendant, or a person living in the same household as the defendant.

Domestic violence hurts all involved, officials say BY TIFFANY GIBSON Staff Writer tgibson@opubco.com

Seminole County sheriff’s deputies Marvin Williams and Robbie Chase Whitebird lost their lives two years ago on the type of call that makes law enforcement officers extremely wary — domestic abuse. Patsie Hobert had called 911asking for help in getting her son, Ezekiel Hobert, 26, out of her house in Semi-

nole. He already was facing a charge of trying to strangle her. Hobert is accused of opening fire at the deputies with a rifle when they went to his mother’s door. Williams, 43, was shot outside the residence, and Whitebird, 23, died inside the home.

Responding to abuse State officials say domestic violence cases are some of the most difficult situations to deal with for both victims and law en-

forcement. October is National Domestic Violence Awareness month. “Domestic violence calls are one of the more unpredictable and dangerous calls that an officer will respond to,” said Oklahoma City police Sgt. Jennifer Wardlow. “You usually have people who are very upset, tempers are flared and it’s an unpredictable situation.” “You don’t know when you’re walking into it if it’s a verbal argument or

something that has escalated into some type of physical altercation.” Wardlow said officers responded to 6,492 cases of domestic violence in 2010. The numbers are on track to reach the same level this year.

Upholding the law Oklahoma statutes include misdemeanor and felony charges for domestic abuse, but it’s up to SEE ABUSE, PAGE 26A

I Felony domestic assault and battery carries up to 4 years in prison I Misdemeanor domestic assault and battery carries up to 1 year in county jail and/or a fine up to $1,000 I Felony domestic assault and battery by strangulation carries 1 to 3 years in prison and/or a fine up to $3,000 if the person has no prior convictions. If they have a prior conviction for felony domestic abuse, they could serve 3 to 10 years in prison and/ or pay a fine up to $20,000. I Any conviction for domestic abuse requires the completion of a 52-week domestic violence program. The courts are required to set a review date of no more than 120 days out to review whether the defendant is making satisfactory progress in their domestic violence classes.

ADVOCACY | WONDERFULLY MADE HOME AIMS TO PROVIDE HAVEN FOR OTHER TARGETS BY CARLA HINTON Religion Editor chinton@opubco.com

“I will praise thee for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” — Psalms 139:14 During her first marriage, Lisa Miller-Baldwin often recalled a frightening moment from her childhood.

She remembered her mother cowering in fear underneath a kitchen table to hide from her abusive husband, Miller-Baldwin’s father. The Oklahoma City woman said the terrifying memory popped up frequently when her own spouse began to beat her. These days, Miller-Baldwin is a tireless champion for domestic violence prevention and awareness. In August, her Wonderfully Made

Foundation opened the Wonderfully Made Home, a residence offering transitional housing for domestic violence victims and their children. This month, Miller-Baldwin is spearheading the Teen Speakout program, talking to students at several area high school schools about teen dating violence.

discontent. The biggest question on many people’s mind is why? What are they protesting? Critics of the Occupy movement claim that these kids don’t even know. Both the protesters and those behind the national Occupy movement disagree. Kalle Lasn, co-founder

and publishing editor of Adbusters magazine, published a call to action in July: “On Sept 17, flood into lower Manhattan, set up tents, kitchens, peaceful barricades and occupy Wall Street.” “I think the young people of today look into the future and see a big black hole, a future that doesn’t compute,” Lasn said in a

telephone interview from his home in Vancouver, B.C. “They see financial crisis, ecological crisis and political crisis, and unless they stand up for their future, they feel they won’t have a future.”

Financial crises Originally the protest was a response to the mortgage and credit prac-

tices many feel caused the financial crisis, he said. “No one from Wall Street has been brought to justice from the shady business practices that brought on the 2008 economic meltdown,” Lasn said. Jay Andrew Vehige, 21, used social media to help SEE OCCUPY, PAGE 26A

organize the Oklahoma City protest. “I became involved through Adbusters,” he said. “At first it was an emotional connection, watching videos of our brothers and sisters getting beat down by the New York City Police Department. “If you see how the corporations are influencing us, you can see how those protesters were taking the beating for 99 percent of America. If I didn’t get involved, I would have been irresponsible.”

Banking regulation Vehige said he wants to see reinstatement of the Glass-Steagall Act, which prohibited banks from owning other financial institutions, limiting their ability to go into speculative practices, like trading in subprime mortgages. “Without the GlassSteagall Act, the major banks have been able to monopolize the economy like they did in the 1920s.

Johnson Products Company’s “No Excuse, Stop the Abuse” domestic violence initiative, Miller-Baldwin flew to Washington, D.C., on Tuesday to speak before a congressional panel on domestic violence and its impact on children. And Miller-Baldwin plans to reach out further on Oct. 29 with “Mirror, Mirror On the Wall,” a stage play she wrote about domestic violence. The fundraiser for MillerBaldwin’s foundation will be performed at the MetroTech Springlake Campus. Miller-Baldwin said more than anything, she would like to see lives changed so that domestic violence can be eradicated. “It’s a passion that I have that I don’t want a woman to experience what I did,” she said.

Escaping the abuse Miller-Baldwin said she was talented, had a good job and lived and worked among family and friends who loved her. She said she worked for about six years as a dispatcher and later as a jailer for the Oklahoma City Police Department. Yet, she stayed in the abusive situation that reminded her of her mother’s own plight. Baldwin said low selfesteem, a strong faith belief in marriage, and a desire to have her five children raised in a home with their natural father initially kept her from ending the marriage. Also, she said she wed at age 17 and did not have the proper tools to discern what a healthy relationship was. More significantly, she also viewed such mistreatment as normal, perhaps because she had witnessed her mother being abused

tumultuous financial situation,” Vehige said.

Campaign finance Jay Trenary, a local trial attorney and Republican political campaigner, is the legal coordinator for Occupy OKC. Trenary said his main concern is campaign finance reform. “The common denominator in what we all believe is that our political process has been corrupted by relying too heavily on money,” said Trenary. “Political campaigns have become a battle of who has the most money rather than who has the best ideas.” He said he wanted to engage and help the protesters after he saw video of NYPD Deputy Inspector Anthony Bologna pepperspraying three women who appeared to be demonstrating their First Amendment right to peaceably assemble. “If anyone here gets arrested I’m more than happy to help represent them. I want to make sure we act legally, are treated fairly and that the constitution is followed,” said Trenary. Kaley Morelock, 24, one

of the organizers of Occupy OKC, said her main concerns are environmental, but she wants the government to grant consumers a debt bailout. “It’s difficult to ascertain the demands and solutions that we would like because everything is so corrupt, it’s like, where do you begin?” Morelock asked. “So that’s what we are doing while occupying this space,” she said. “We are finding the list of our grievances and demands, and the feasible solutions we can ask for.”

by her father during her childhood, she said. Miller-Baldwin said she eventually divorced her first husband in 1999, after 16 years of marriage. She said her spouse’s refusal to attend marriage counseling finally drove her to divorce court. Her son’s desire to go stay with a relative if his parents stayed together also contributed to MillerBaldwin’s decision to end the marriage. “My son said, ‘Mom, if you’re going to continue to stay with Dad, can we stay with Grandma?’ ” MillerBaldwin said. “I could actually see it hurt my children and that did it for me.” With the children all grown now, Miller-Baldwin said they are proud of her efforts to help others. As for their parents’ marriage, Miller-Baldwin, who has since remarried, said her children have told her one important thing: She should have left long before she did.

Helping others Miller-Baldwin said she began reaching out to help other victims of domestic violence after an afternoon of feeling sorry for herself. Miller-Baldwin said she was divorced by then but still struggling with the effects of living in an abusive situation. “I felt hurt and God reminded me that how I was feeling, there were other people feeling the same way,” she said. Miller-Baldwin said during her personal Bible study time, she was drawn to a Scripture that describes how the Lord’s children are “fearfully” and “wonderfully” created. She said she began to

see herself the way God sees her and not the way her ex-husband or anyone else viewed her. “I’m not defined by what you said I am. I’m defined by what God said I am,” she said. Miller-Baldwin, a member of Community Lighthouse Church, said she decided to start the Wonderfully Made Foundation as a way to help victims still stuck in abusive relationships. She said the Wonderfully Made Home, which recently opened in Oklahoma City, will accommodate up to four families with children and is intended as a haven for women who stay with abusive men because they don’t have anyplace to go. As for the efforts to reach out to the high schools through her speak-out program and the play, Miller-Baldwin, who has a bachelor’s degree in education, said she wants people to realize that domestic violence is occurring in homes of varying socio-economic levels and cultures. She said she is hoping people will learn to start talking about the issue so that victims may feel more comfortable stepping forward for help. She said she also wants to prevent teens from entering into unhealthy relationships. Miller-Baldwin said she has many ideas she wants to see to fruition but she often lacks the money to get them done. Nevertheless, she plans to use what resources she has to see lives changed. “I’ve always been a 100percent person,” she said, smiling. “I’m going to work to eradicate domestic violence with what I’ve got.”

officials to decide the victim in a relationship and the appropriate punishment. Defense attorney Dustin Phillips said the Oklahoma Legislature decided to make domestic violence by strangulation a felony in July 2005. When an offender hits a spouse, Phillips said it is considered a misdemeanor if the offender has no prior convictions of abuse. He said a domestic violence felony can also be filed if the offender causes great bodily injury, meaning any type of bone fracture, disfigurement, impairment of a body part or substantial risk of death. Phillips said domestic violence is prevalent. “And there’s usually a lot more in the lower income,” he said. “I’ve actually had cases where the man was accused of hitting the woman, and a year later I’ve defended the woman accused of hitting the same man.” Phillips said the hard part about defending domestic abuse offenders is that he sees victims return to the people who hit them. “A woman came in and hired me because her boyfriend beat her up. Her boyfriend was a drunk, angry bad person,” Phillips said. “He would continually beat her up, lock her in the closet. Things you can’t imagine.”

Oklahoma statistics According to a report from the Office of Attorney General, Oklahoma Domestic Violence Fatality Review Board, 5,386 incidents of domestic violence were reported throughout Oklahoma County in 2009. That same year, 25 people died as a result of domestic abuse. In 2010, 21 people died from domestic violence, according to data from July 1. Prosecutor Melissa

Blanton said the number includes both homicides and suicides. She said often victims see those as the only ways out of dangerous situations. “We have strong laws, but the enforcement of the laws isn’t always the strongest,” she said. “Law enforcement and prosecutors don’t hold offenders as accountable as much as they can.”

Self-defense Blanton said she has been working on domestic violence cases for 10 years and worked as an assistant district attorney in Grant and Garfield counties before joining the Young

Women’s Christian Association in Enid. Blanton has prosecuted many abuse cases, and said domestic abuse can occur in any type of relationship, including samesex domestic violence. She said it’s more common than people realize, but underreported sometimes. “People who are not out and if they report the domestic abuse, they may face discrimination or friends and family may not know,” Blanton said. Some of her caseloads also have involved victims as offenders. One of the cases she recalls is a woman who stabbed her husband in the back with a knife while he was leaving the kitchen. The woman was arrested on a complaint and later told authorities she had been battered for years. “If the female was really the victim, there’s usually evidence. Domestic violence is not just a one-time incident,” she said.

Women in prison Blanton said she could charge a victim with a lesser crime or drop the case altogether if evidence shows the victim was acting in self-defense. According to an annual report from the state Correction Department, about 71 percent of women in prison have endured domestic abuse. About 36 percent of female inmates have been raped after the age of 18. “There have been cases where they felt it was selfdefense,” Blanton said. “The majority of women in prison appear to be victims of some type of domestic violence in their past.”

‘Midnight Woofness IV’ finds pets new homes BY MATT DINGER Staff Writer mdinger@opubco.com

EDMOND — Midnight Woofness IV — a roundthe-clock animal adoption marathon — began at midnight Friday. The goal is to find homes for more than 550 animals by 5 p.m. Sunday, when the event ends. By 5:30 p.m. Saturday, 314 cats and dogs already had new homes. All the animals available for adoption have been spayed or neutered and are current on vaccinations. The price range for adoption ranges from free up to $150. Many of the animals come from the Oklahoma City Animal Shelter, but a dozen local animal rescues also are participating in the event at PetSmart, 1921 S Broadway. PetSmart Charities pays for the events, and a different event is held every six months at a store in the Oklahoma City area. “Last night, we had about 300 people here when we opened,” said Central Oklahoma Humane Society volunteer and event spokeswoman Whitney Zeka-McFadden.

‘Pup rally’ The event opened Friday night with a flash mob and a “pup rally,” she said. “We got everyone out here through social media, virtually,” Zeka-McFadden said. “And we’re on pace to break our record. We set and break national records every single time.” The record for the number of adoptions, set at the last event, is 565, she said. Many of the pets adopted at the events are saved from euthanization.

Creepy critters are only natural at Haunted Hike BY ROBERT MEDLEY Staff Writer rmedley@opubco.com

Creepy creatures might come crawling out or swooping down when the sun starts to set in the woods at Martin Nature Park. Spiders, bats and snakes and other creatures are around, naturalist Emily Hiatt said. But nature’s frights are not so scary, she said. A chance to walk in the woods in the evening will start at 5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 29, at the Haunted Hike at Martin Nature Park, 5000 W Memorial Road. Every 30 minutes, people will be able to take a walk into the woods with a guide until about 8 p.m. or later. Inside the visitor’s education center will be snakes, spiders, puppet shows and face-painting for children. Hiatt, the nature center’s new naturalist, got the idea for a haunted hike from the Custer State Park in South Dakota. Hiatt has been in Oklahoma City about a month after working as a trail guide at the Wind Cave National Park in South Dakota. “Halloween is coming up, and I wanted to do something like it here,” Hiatt said. Neil Garrison, a longtime Martin Nature Park naturalist who works parttime now, said there is no guarantee anyone will see a bat, but there are bats in the park.

IF YOU GO Anyone interested in taking the haunted hike should preregister by calling 7550676.

ONLINE Video To see a video about the event, search for “Haunted Hike” on NewsOK.com.

“What we have around here is the red bat,” Garrison said. “They don’t hang out with other bats or go in caves but hang upside down on a tree limb most of the time.” Boy Scouts have built bat boxes this year that bats may move into at the park to hibernate in the winter. The bat boxes will be displayed at the event. The park is usually closed after dark, so not too many visitors have seen bats during the day. “In the evenings when the sun is going down you can see them,” Garrison said. “Bats are a good subject to talk about. I don’t know if any will be flying around, but bats are kind of a motif of Halloween.” Park worker Ryan Stickney said he plans to dress as a bee and show groups the bee hives at the park. Children can wear costumes. The cost for the evening is $2 a person.

“If we didn’t have these, we wouldn’t be able to save as many lives as we do,” Zeka-McFadden said.

‘Came with a name’ Lisa Kippenberger and her daughter, Madeline Hightower, 11, were there when the event started, and returned Saturday

afternoon to adopt a pit bull terrier mix. “He came with a name, and his name is Dude,” Madeline said. Kippenberger said she went to the store to get crickets for their lizard last night, learned about the event and returned with her daughter at midnight.

“I told her before we came last night that we were not getting a dog,” Kippenberger said. “But we needed one to keep the other one company,” she said. “We fell in

love with one last night, and she was gone the next day.” “So if you see one that you want, get it right there or it’s going to be gone,” Madeline said.

Agents seek city bank robber FROM STAFF REPORTS

An Oklahoma City bank was robbed of an undisclosed amount of cash Saturday morning by a man who handed a note to a teller demanding money. About 9 a.m., the robber entered BancFirst at 6200 Waterford Blvd. and gave the teller a black bag and a note that said, “Fill the bag with money. Nobody will get hurt,” FBI spokesman Clay Simmonds said. After the bag was filled, the robber left the bank. He was seen leaving the area southbound on Pennsylvania Avenue in a white 2007 to 2010 Chevrolet

Monte Carlo. Simmonds said nobody was injured during the robbery. The robber is described as a 6-foot, 1-inch tall white male weighing about 190 pounds. He was wearing black pants, an orange long-sleeved shirt, sunglasses, and a New York Yankees baseball cap. Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to call the FBI at 290-7770. The Oklahoma Banker’s Association offers up to $2,000 for information leading to the identification, arrest or conviction of anyone robbing a member bank.

October 19, 1934 - October 10, 2011

EDMOND Gaylon L. Stacy, 76, of Edmond, OK, passed away Monday, October 10, 2011, in Edmond. He was born October 19, 1934 at home in Bridge Creek, OK to Bryan and Onetia Stacy. His family moved to Blanchard when he was in the 2nd grade. Gaylon attended OU and worked for local radio stations KNOR and WNAD in Norman while he was a student. He also was a member of the 45th Infantry Division of the Army National Guard while in school. He went to work at KWTV in 1959, and for the next ten years produced and hosted “The Gaylon Stacy Show,” a daily variety program. Gaylon also played several lead roles in productions at the Lyric Theatre, the Jewel Box Theatre, and the former Mummers Theatre. One of his greatest pleasures was singing with the OK-4, a popular comedic barbershop quartet that performed nationwide and throughout Canada, two USO tours to the South Pacific, and Mexico City. Gaylon later served as a member of the Edmond Board of Education as well as two terms in the Oklahoma Legislature. He’s also held positions with the Higher Education Alumni Council, the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation, Metro Technology Center, the Oklahoma Lumbermen’s Association, and the Oklahoma Self-Insurers Association. Gaylon was truly a renaissance man, having many interests and excelling in many different capacities. Gaylon was preceded in death by his parents; and by brothers, Mack Stacy and Jim Stacy.

Stephen D. Newby July 29, 1950 - October 14, 2011

MUSTANG Stephen D. Newby, age 61, departed this mortal realm Friday, October 14, 2011. He died unexpectedly at home in his sleep after a brief illness. Steve was born July 29, 1950 in Dodge City, Kansas, to Sidney and Mary Newby. He is survived by his wife of 13 years, Vicki Newby; two children and their spouses, Kiamichi and Barry Bray, and Sid and Anneliese Newby; a stepdaughter and husband, Misty Miller and Brendan O’Connor; stepson, Michael Miller; ten grandchildren: Devin, Isabella, Christian and Kaiden Bray; Lakota, Quincy and Loralei Newby; Leilani and Jacinda Young-Miller, and Mira Miller-O’Connor. He also leaves behind sister, Rebecca Mallett; ex-wife and mother of his surviving children, Dorothy Newby; and many other family members, loved ones and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents; and daughter, Heather, from his first marriage. Steve was extraordinarily capable in many things. A selfless, compassionate, brilliant man with a great sense of humor, he loved his family above all else. He’d say he “made sawdust” but was a master carpenter. Meticulous and exacting, his credits include remodeling, restoring and renovating homes, buildings and offices in such places as Wyoming, Colorado, New York, Massachusetts, and Oklahoma. He also spent the last seventeen years of his life sharing his experience, strength, and hope with thousands of friends. He was a profound inspiration to so many, as well as quite a card. Never a dull moment with Steve! He will be sorely missed. A service to celebrate his life will be held at 11 a.m., Wednesday, October 19, at the South Colonial Chapel.

John Earl Graham February 13, 1938 - October 12, 2011

OKLAHOMA CITY John Earl Graham passed from this life too soon in the early morning hours of October 12, 2011. He was born on February 13, 1938 to John and Jewell Taylor of Storey, AR. Due to complications after his birth, he was later adopted by his aunt, Earl and Beulah Graham, who brought him to Oklahoma City at the age of two. John lived in the OKC Metro area for the remainder of his life. He was a graduate of NW Classen H.S. and served in the Air National Guard for 7 years. In August of 1958, he met and subsequently married the love of his life, Carolyn Sue Kinney, on March 25, 1960. John worked as a meter reader for ONG as they began their family. In 1963, he completed the OKC Police Academy and served 20 years on the force. During his tenure he drove a cruiser, worked in the pilot program for community service officers, walked his beat on N.E. 23rd St. and flew as observer in the helicopter program. He retired from OCPD in 1983 after 20 years of service. John then embarked on a second career with the OK County Sheriff’s Department serving papers. The majority of his tenure was spent transporting prisoners intrastate, ending with his appointment to Sergeant in Judicial Services. John was a charter member of the Fraternal Order of Police organizations for the OCPD and the OK County Sheriff’s Department. He was a member of the Retired Police Officers Association, serving as their President for 10 terms. He enjoyed the camaraderie of the Blue Knights and their frequent motorcycle runs. His weekend breakfast group was another source of friendships that he valued. On March 25, 2011, John celebrated 51 years of a loving, happy marriage with “Suzie.” “Johnny” was a wonderful provider, husband, father and exceptional “Poppy” to his twin granddaughters. He is best remembered for his joyful spirit, infectious laughter and steady stream of jokes. Johnny is survived by his wife, Suzie, of the home; daughter, Debbie and Stephen Hageman of Wichita, KS; son, John Michael, and twin granddaughters, Grace and Hannah Benson; step-grandchildren, Cory Hageman, Lindsay and Ben Jervis; sisters, Betty Jenan and Nova Perret; and a brother, Delmar Taylor. His family extends love and appreciation to his longtime partner, Deputy Colonel Miller, for his unrelenting support in respect of his departed partner. We are grateful to Colonel for the comfort of the common and familiar traits, born of a longtime partnership, that remind us of our daddy. Many thanks to the Medical Team at Oklahoma Heart Hospital for their efforts on daddy’s behalf. We love you, Poppy. Like you always told us, “When it’s your time to go, it’s your time.” You may be “DRT,” but you remain very much alive in our hearts now and forever. Visitation will be Saturday and Sunday, 1 – 8 p.m., with the family receiving visitors from 2 - 4 p.m., at Buchanan Funeral Service. Services to celebrate his life will be 10 a.m., Monday, October 17th, at Baptist Temple, with interment to follow at Chapel Hill Memorial Gardens.

BUSINESS Military advice cents-able Anyone who is planning to marry may have had advice to seek financial counseling with their intended before taking their vows. That’s solid advice; money could be a pressure point in a marriage. Many companies offer financial literacy classes at work; churches and some nonprofits do the same, usually at no cost to participants. And the Internet is loaded with tips. Last week, the Oklahoma Marriage Initiative announced it has teamed up with Consumer Credit Counseling Services of Central Oklahoma, Army OneSource and the Oklahoma National Guard to help military couples who are dating, engaged or newly wed — after identifying financial literacy as a primary need for Oklahoma. “With military families ... there are different challenges they face and we wanted to make sure they are well equipped to handle their situation,” said Jennifer Wallis, vice president at Consumer Credit Counseling Services. Apart from learning about money management, couples also will learn about military basics, where a non-service member can gain insight into acronyms, the command structure and military resources. “We wanted to provide these couples with the skills, education and resources to help them succeed as couples within a military environment,” said Paula McBride, community support coordinator for Army OneSource. On Oct. 29, couples of any branch of the military may attend the free workshop from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Hillsdale College, 3701 S Service Road, Moore.

BY PAULA BURKES Business Writer pburkes@opubco.com

It’s time for open enrollment for most employer-sponsored health insurance plans, and Linda Payne of First Fidelity Bank in Oklahoma City plans to set aside several thousand dollars in her medical flexible spending account (FSA) to pay for out-of-pocket health care expenses next year. Payne, a widowed mother of two, typically designates about $500 annually, or $42 a month, to the taxfavored account. But she’s putting aside more for next year, because she plans to pay for LASIK eye surgery for her daughter as a college graduation gift. “Amy graduates Dec. 17 from Oklahoma State University,” Payne said, proudly. “We’re planning to have her consultation in December, and then schedule her surgery for January.” Because FSA contributions are made with pretax dollars, Payne estimates she’ll save about 30 percent on the money she sets aside — or $1,000 on a $3,000 allocation. This year’s open enrollment period is the last opportunity to take full advantage of flex accounts for LASIK, orthodontic braces or other costly medical expenses. Under health care reform, employee contributions to FSAs will be limited to $2,500 starting Jan. 1,

JOB POSTINGS SHOW DECLINE WASHINGTON — Employers advertised fewer jobs in August than the previous month. Some may have pulled back on hiring in the face of wild stock market swings and renewed recession fears. Companies and governments posted 3.1 million job openings in August, down from 3.2 million in July, the Labor Department said last week. Nearly 14 million people were out of work in August, which means an average of 4.6 unemployed workers competed for each opening.

PREPARE FOR WORST NEW YORK — With some experts predicting the economy already is slipping back into recession, now’s the time to make sure you and your family are prepared. The Economic Cycle Research Institute says families are earning less and cutting back on spending. Families are advised to assess finances and job security. Then lay out a plan to handle risks.

DID YOU KNOW? I About 83 percent of employers offer taxfavored medical flexible spending accounts to pay for out-of-pocket health care costs, but only 23 percent of employees participate. The average annual contribution is $1,500. I Health insurance costs are expected to rise by 7.2 percent for 2012, faster than the rate of inflation. Sixty-six percent of mid- to large-size companies plan to increase employee premiums for single coverage, with 73 percent raising premiums for dependents.

DENTAL LABORATORY TECHNICIANS CRAFT CUSTOM CROWNS, DENTURES, IMPLANTS

Aging population drives demand for dental techs BY PAULA BURKES Business Writer pburkes@opubco.com

A former dental assistant, Bridgette Cannon found she loved dentistry, but wasn’t a people person. “I didn’t want to deal with patients,” she said, “just work on teeth.” Cannon found her niche as a dental laboratory technician — working with molds of patients’ teeth or soft tissues to create crowns, bridges, dentures and implants. Cannon worked three years as a full-time tech and for the past 15 years has taught others the craft as program director of the dental laboratory technician program at Moore Norman Technology Center. About half of enrollees are high school students, but other students, she said, are pursuing the field as a second career. “I love to think about making someone smile. We’re the ones,” she said, “who can give that makeover smile.” With an increasing interest in cosmetic dentistry and the aging and longer life spans of baby boomers, the job demand for techs today is high, Cannon said. Oklahoma doesn’t require dental laboratory technicians to be certified, but other states do. Steve Roberts, owner of Paragon Esthetics Inc. in northwest Oklahoma City, picked up the skill 35 years ago through on-the-job training at a former office of his older brother’s. “I was a lab monkey,” Roberts said. “I used to ride my bike there to pour plaster models.” Today, there’s a move toward taking digital impressions of patients’

mouths to pattern those models, versus using polyvinyl to make traditional molds. But the handcrafted process to create the custom-made, final products remains much the same. “It’s creative; kind of like sculpting,” Roberts said. “With the use of shade guides, you match and layer colors much like a painter picks up and mixes different colors from a palette, and use different drilling burrs for shape and contour.” A single tooth may require two and half weeks’ work, Roberts said, and implants, three months to six months. Creating implants is particularly rewarding, he said. “Many people can’t eat with dentures, which can move around (and) create sore spots on their gums,” he said. “But with implants, they can.” Jeff Singler of Singler Dental Ceramics in Dallas finds the work equally satisfying. “You’re trying to make teeth look good in people’s heads, and to do it good, it’s difficult,” he said. “But it’s interesting and challenging. You get to be creative and help people.”

TULSA — Small business is big business in Oklahoma. That was clearly evident Friday as small business owners from across the state gathered with government leaders and other community representatives for the Oklahoma Governor’s Conference on Small Business. About 500 people registered for some portion of the conference at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa. Among them was Eric Cline, who traveled about five hours from Beaver to gain new contacts and ideas to take back to his hometown. “The networking has been wonderful,” Cline said. “I want to see our little town grow and succeed. … We have a good place for (businesses) to start up inexpensively.” Friday’s conference was about igniting small businesses and encouraging

them to get involved to make a difference. Government officials, including Lt. Gov. Todd Lamb, Secretary of Commerce Dave Lopez and Tulsa Mayor Dewey Bartlett welcomed conference participants and praised the contributions of small businesses to the economy. Before a capacity luncheon crowd, Gov. Mary Fallin spoke about the strides Oklahoma has made and the reputation it’s gaining as a pro-busi-

ness state. “This year I told the Legislature I want to work on doing everything we can to turn Oklahoma’s economy around and to create the right business climate so that when you invest money as small business owners you can get the best rate of return and increase your bottom line profitability,” Fallin said. She noted that the coming legislative session will focus on the tax structure. “We need you as small

Throughout the day, small business owners also gleaned ideas from a variety of breakout sessions. Dave Shideler, a rural development specialist with the Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service, discussed some of the challenges that face rural entrepreneurs — including isolation, communication challenges, fewer resources and the need to increase demand for their business — and practical ways to overcome those issues. Becky McCray of Hopeton, publisher of smallbiz survival.com, delved into the need for businesses to use social media, including blogs, video and Facebook, to promote and advertise their products or services. A blog is the best tool for a business, McCray said.

Patriot Act does not allow access to safe-deposit box Dear Mr. Berko: I have what I consider to be a lot of cash and gold coins that I want to put into a safe-deposit box. But my broker told me that according to an article he read, the federal government can open safe-deposit boxes. He told me that a secret executive order during the Roosevelt administration in 1933 allows the government to seal all safedeposit boxes in banks and financial institutions. What can I do with the gold coins that I want to secure and the cash that I don’t want to put in a tin can in my backyard? Is there any way to stop the government from taking my money or my property? The government doesn’t own the banks, so how can it do this, anyway? CS, Waterloo, Iowa Dear WS: The government controls all banks. As long as we ask the government to insure deposits and money market funds, and as long as we ask the government to regulate deposits, lending practices, credit cards and the like, the government can do anything it wants to do. And yes, there’s

TAKING STOCK little we can do to stop the government from sealing from our safedeposit boxes if it really wants to. But I’m a silly millimeter away from being 100 percent certain there’s nothing in your broker’s literature that speaks about the Roosevelt administration issuing an order to seal bank safedeposit boxes. I think your broker must be recovering from recent brain surgery, or his slinky got kinked. Executive Order 6102 is real, and it was issued in 1933 by President Roosevelt. Its purpose was to order American citizens to turn in their gold, and it forbade the ownership of gold or gold coins. There is nothing in 6102 to suggest that safe-deposit boxes could be sealed. Still, if the government can forbid Americans to own gold,

perhaps ... Now, some readers believe that the Patriot Act legislation states that during a bank holiday, the Department of Homeland Security has the right to open all safe-deposit boxes and that there is a list of property agents can confiscate, including guns, cash and precious metals. Well, I want all you conspiracy theorists to know that this is pure tommyrot and balderdash. My daughter is an attorney (one of the good ones), and she’s read that act backwards, forwards, inside, outside, up, down and sideways — and she says the Patriot Act doesn’t even mention bank holidays. If someone proclaims that the IRS can access safe-deposit boxes, though, he’s as right as butter on popcorn. My daughter says it’s legal, but only under certain conditions. The IRS cannot willy-nilly open your safe-deposit box unless it has a federal judgment against you that freezes your account, in which case the IRS must use a “notice of levy,” and you would have to be present during the opening.

Now you know why the IRS has always allowed Americans to deduct their safe-deposit rent from gross income on their tax returns. So, if you’re worried about the IRS getting too cozy, empty the box you have now and continue to pay the annual charges for appearance’s sake. Then, rent a box at a bank where you don’t conduct any banking business, preferably in another city or state. The Justice Department also can open your box with a court order if it believes you possess items related to national security, stolen government property, documents related to the official secrets, etc. However, if someone prevails in a lawsuit against you, and he knows you have a safedeposit box and where you have that box, some states (California) will allow the plaintiff access to your box. So if you have a box, keep quiet about it. Give a key to a trusted friend, a trusted attorney or a trusted relative. Address your financial questions to Malcolm Berko, P.O.

3 money missteps grandparents may make BY DAVID PITT Associated Press

It’s so tempting to want to give the grandchildren everything and put their wants and needs first. However, one of the common money mistakes grandparents make is to put spending on grandkids ahead of their own retirement security. Here are three money missteps grandparents make and ways to avoid them: 1. Excessively spoiling grandchildren Financial advisers and estate planners have all kinds of stories about retirees who insist on spending significant amounts of their savings on grandchildren. Too often they fail to recognize the severity of the risk it poses for their own retirement security. “You really cannot reason with people not to do it,” says Jean A. Dorrell, an estate planner in Summerfield, Fla. “They know they shouldn’t be doing it, but they will continue until they don’t want to do it anymore.” Another temptation is for grandparents to set up Uniform Gifts to Minors Act (UGMA) or Uniform Transfers to Minors Act (UTMA) accounts for children as a way to pay private school expenses or for college costs such as tuition, books, or room and board. However, many don’t realize that when their grandchild becomes an

adult (age 18 or 21 depending on the state where the account was established) the money can be spent on anything the child wants, says Casey Weade, a financial planner with Fort Wayne, Ind.-based Howard Bailey Financial Inc. The assets in these accounts are owned by the child. The account can affect the amount of financial aid a college student may receive. Weade says it makes more sense to set up a 529 college-savings plan which offers tax benefits when used for qualified college expenses including tuition, books and housing. 2. Failing to establish an estate plan Estate planning is essential. The smooth transfer of wealth between generations is an important part of a family’s financial well-being, yet most families don’t have the proper documentation in place. That would include a will, a power of attorney for finances, or a trust. In a 2009 survey of more than 1,000 people aged 18 and older by Lawyers.com, just 39 percent of respondents reported having a will. Even fewer had a power of attorney and fewer still had set up a trust. 3. Leaving retirement funds on autopilot It’s very common to have multiple accounts, says Chuck Cornelio, president of defined contribution for Lincoln Financial Group, which pro-

vides retirement and other financial services. It’s not unusual to see workers with as many as six or seven. Frequently workers fail to consolidate accounts in a way that would enable them to manage their money effectively. Consolidating accounts into an IRA, for example, helps ensure the money is adequately diversified

across investment options and can help in developing an overall retirement plan. Having both a traditional IRA and a Roth IRA account to pull money from can help a retiree control taxable income. With a Roth IRA, deposits are taxed when made to the account, but money can be pulled out in retirement tax-free.

EAGLE & BEAGLE Don Mecoy dmecoy@ opubco.com

EAGLE & BEAGLE

Eagle Perhaps I should apologize for a slightly snide remark I made here last week about those who claim stocks were on sale after the recent unpleasantness. Apparently they were. The S&P 500 gained 6 percent last week, its best five-day showing since July 2009 and its highest close for more than two months. Nearly all state-based stocks rose, with 15 local firms posting double-digit percentage gains. The best of the crop was Oklahoma City-based PostRock Energy Corp, which added 22.3 percent to close at $3.62. Other major gainers included Gulfport Energy, up 21 percent; LSB Industries, up 19 percent; Panhandle Oil & Gas, up 17 percent; and Helmerich & Payne, up

16 percent. This sale likely is for a limited time.

Beagle This week’s beagle appears to be developing a bad habit. For the past four Fridays, the price of Blueknight Energy Partners shares has fallen. Since reaching $7.76 in mid-September, the units have fallen to $5.52 at Friday’s close while setting a new 52-week low on Oct. 4. The good news is that the new low came a day before the company disclosed that it has settled litigation related to the messy and protracted SemGroup Energy Partners case. James C. Dyer, CEO of BKEP’s general partner, declared that the SemGroup legacy issue was “resolved and behind us.” That’s got to be a relief for long-term investors.

SOCIAL SECURITY Q&A

Take steps to match number with name Q: I received a notice from Social Security recently. It said my name and Social Security number do not match Social Security’s records. What should I do? A: It’s critical that your name and Social Security number, as shown on your Social Security card, match your employer’s payroll records and your W-2 form. If they don’t, here is what you need to do: I Give your employer the correct information exactly as shown on your Social Security card or your corrected card; or I Contact your local Social Security office (www.socialsecurity.gov/ locator) or call 1-800-7721213 (TTY 1-800-3250778) if your Social Security card does not show your correct name or Social Security number.

For more information, visit our website at www.socialsecurity.gov.

New numbers issued Q: Are Social Security numbers reassigned after a person dies? A: No. We do not reassign Social Security numbers. In all, we have assigned more than 460 million Social Security numbers, and each year we assign about 5.5 million new numbers. The current system has enough new numbers for several more generations. For more information, go to our website at www.social security.gov or call us tollfree at (800) 772-1213 (TTY (800) 325-0778). This column was prepared by the Social Security Administration.

The Dow rose for a third straight week and turned positive for the year. Over the past two weeks, the index has had its biggest two-week gain since March 2009. The averageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best week in months was fueled by increasing investor confidence that Europe was getting closer to resolving its messy debt crisis. Even if Greece is forced into bankruptcy, investors now believe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely the damage to the global economy will be contained.

problems have hurt corporate confidence. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney recommended last week that investors shift money to safer investments, such as bonds, and away from stocks. But some financial analysts see the increased short interest as a contrarian signal for optimism about stocks. If stocks keep rising like they did last week, it could trigger a spurt of buying, J. Morgan strategist Thomas Lee wrote in a report. Short sellers would scramble to buy stocks to limit their losses in a move called â&#x20AC;&#x153;short covering.â&#x20AC;?

Short of confidence Investors are placing the most bets since 2009 that stocks will fall. They are discouraged by the volatile stock market, Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slow progress in resolving its debt problems and the tepid U.S. economic recovery. So, they are shorting stocks, which means theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re betting stocks will fall. To short a stock, an investor borrows a share and sells it. Later, if the price falls as expected, the investor can buy the share again at the lower price and pocket the difference. Investors had 14.95 billion shares borrowed for short sales on

Taking a chance Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the downside for owning AMR, the parent of American Airlines: A weakening economy would mean fewer fliers, volatile oil prices mean losses can pile up quickly and American hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t kept up with rivals in the industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consolidation. Combine all that, and investors worry that AMR may file for bankruptcy protection, which would wipe out shareholders. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the upside: Everyone already knows the worst-case scenario, and some financial analysts say the stock has dropped so much that it looks cheap. If the company can avoid a bankruptcy filing, it looks like a good buy, says Sterne Agee analyst Jeff Kauffman.

To be sure, AMRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s challenges are stiff. It is actually at a disadvantage because it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t file for Chapter 11 in the last decade, like its major competitors did. United, Delta and US Airways were able to cut their labor and other costs under a bankruptcy courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s protection. Mergers across the industry also mean United and Delta have leapfrogged American Airlines in terms of size. But American is also modernizing its fleet after announcing the largest aircraft order in history. That could draw new fliers. It also is negotiating with its workers to lower labor costs. Kauffman says AMR could rise to $6 in the next 12 months.

EXECUTIVE Q&A WITH LISA G. NOON

Noon rises over Oklahoma Realtors breakfast in a historic home. My husband and I love old houses and historic sites, plus he’s a great storyteller, so that would be a great combination! Q: What’s the best part of your job? A: The constant change; there is never a dull mo-

BY RICHARD MIZE Real Estate Editor richardmize@opubco.com

Robert Green was a real buyer’s broker, doing whatever he could to help clients, even lending money to a young couple for a down payment on a house — and his daughter, Lisa, was paying attention. But photography, Lisa thought, was her calling. Off she went to college at the University of Nebraska, with warm memories of her dad, and especially the help he gave that young couple, tucked away with other times living in Bellevue, Neb. But public relations turned out to be her forte, then economic development, then marketing — and then working with Realtors. It was then, 17 years ago, that the daughter, now Lisa G. Noon, found her real niche working with the Virginia Association of Realtors. She found that Realtors make it a habit to take care of their clients. She thought of her dad. She was hooked. Noon, 53, came to Oklahoma last spring to take the reins of the Oklahoma Association of Realtors as CEO. Here are excerpts from an interview with The Oklahoman: Q: The National Association of Realtors’ bus tour was in Norman on Thursday. When the tour first started, it hit just the big cities. Is it just now getting to smaller cities, or is there something about Norman, or Oklahoma, that prompted the stop here? A: Actually, the bus was headed to the Southwest part of the country, and we simply asked them if they could stop in Norman while our annual conference is there. Fortunately for us, they said yes! It’s exciting for our Realtors because of what the bus represents: The fact that homeownership does matter in this country by improving our communities and strengthening our economy. Q: How did a nice per-

PERSONALLY SPEAKING I Position: CEO, Oklahoma Association of Realtors. I Birthplace: Offutt Air Force Base, Omaha, Neb. I Family: Peter, husband of 32 years; grown son Cameron; teenage daughter Kelly; and three small dogs. I Education: M.A. mass communications, B.A. journalism and marketing from University of Nebraska-Lincoln; CAE (Certified Association Executive) professional designation in 2001; RCE (Realtor Certified Executive) designation in 2010. I Magazines/websites: “I’m a closet economics geek: I like RealEstateEconomyWatch.com, The McCarville Report Online, and I’m on Realtor.org daily to see what’s going on with our constantly changing industry.”

son like you wind up working with Realtors? A: I started my career in communications and marketing, working in state economic development, university relations, and finally corporate marketing before going on to work with the Virginia Association of Realtors 17 years ago. Once I was there, I felt like I’d truly found my niche. I absolutely love working with Realtors, which may come partially from watching my dad. After he retired from the Air Force, he became a real estate broker, and I have warm memories of all the personal help he provided to his clients — even lending $500 to a young couple once to help them with their down payment. Realtors are the ultimate in service-oriented pro-

fessionals, and the more I work with them, the more I admire them for the many, many services and care they provide to their clients and customers — plus the vast amount of knowledge they’re required to have to do a good job. Q: What did you want to be when you grew up? What happened? A: I’ve always had a love of photography, and that was my original career aspiration. When I was in college, that program was under the journalism degree, and so that’s where I started. Somewhere along the line, though, I just happened to take a class in public relations, and that was like a light bulb. Q: If not this, what do you think you would be doing for a living/career? A: Running a bed-and-

Accounts: Some see new rules as big headache FROM PAGE 1C

2013. Currently, employers can set their own FSA limits. In Oklahoma City, Hobby Lobby Inc., Chesapeake Energy Corp. and Phil-Good Products Inc. allow workers to set aside up to $5,000, while Capital Abstract & Title Co. and American Fidelity Assurance Co. offer $10,000 caps. Many workers, such as Capitol Abstract’s Valerie Fried who earmarks $7,000 annually to help pay bills associated with chronic health issues for her and her husband, are upset with the looming $2,500 cap. “It’s too low for those of us with high medical expenses,” Fried said, “especially with rising deductibles (on health insurance).” Others already are annoyed that, as of this year, without a doctor’s prescription they can’t use FSA contributions to buy over-the-counter (OTC) medicines. Susan Relland is all too familiar with the issues surrounding FSAs. Her employer, American Fidelity, administers 7,500 plans for 130,000 participants nationwide, and Relland — a former Washington-based employee benefits attorney who lobbied in the health care debate — now serves as the company’s vice president of law and government affairs. “Many doctors are refusing to write prescriptions for OTC meds at all,”

AT A GLANCE PREPARE FOR CHANGE I To offset increasing health care costs, many employers are expected to increase premiums, co-pays and deductibles. So don’t automatically enroll in last year’s plan, without first making sideby-side comparisons. I Be sure current physicians and area hospitals are in the plan’s network. I Review pre-existing condition exclusions, prior authorization requirements and annual limits. I Check prescriptions you take against the list of each plan’s approved drugs for co-pay variations. I Make a list of premiums, out-of-pocket expenses, co-pays, coinsurance, deductibles, specialists and benefits for each health, vision and dental plan. I See if the cost for dependent coverage has increased. Some employers are raising costs now that coverage is available for dependents through age 26. I Ask if your employer offers a wellness program or incentives for healthy behaviors such as exercising regularly or not smoking. SOURCE: OKLAHOMA INSURANCE DEPARTMENT

Relland said. “There’s already a shortage of health care providers, so it’s hard to find time for someone to come in just because they need a prescription.” The rules don’t allow providers to write prescriptions over the phone, she said, “and they can’t write them in advance for something like baby aspirin or cold and flu medications — just in case they or their child gets sick and needs it.” Flex account holders also have had issues using debit cards to buy over the counter meds, Relland said. Account administrators often require additional information to substantiate a claim is valid under rules set by the In-

ternal Revenue Service, she said. “And if employees, to avoid that, fill their baby aspirin or whatever through the pharmacy, the pharmacist may charge a dispensing fee that is more than their FSA tax savings,” Relland said. Regardless of the headaches, every employee who has an opportunity to participate in an FSA should, said Relland, noting employees don’t have to buy employer health insurance to participate. “FSAs,” she said, “give workers training wheels to learn to take more responsibility for their health and advantages of health savings, which will be vital under health care reform.”

ment, and no day is ever the same. Q: What do you do to relax? What about it relaxes you? A: I guess this goes back to my love of pictures, but I discovered scrapbooking a few years ago and I’ve loved it ever since. It’s ful-

filling to know that I’ve got memories to pass on to my kids someday. Plus, I never really sit still and it gives me something creative to do while I’m relaxing at home. I also enjoy walking our dogs with my husband and reading as much as I can.

AUSTIN, Texas — Oklahoma State players and coaches still field the magic question every week. Are the Cowboys good enough on defense to be a serious championship

contender? Yet there was OSU getting Texas’ offense off the field when Fozzy Whittaker fell just shy of the end zone early in the fourth quarter on a fourth-down catch that threatened to cut into OSU’s 14-point lead. And yet there was Daytawion Lowe stripping the ball out of UT quarterback David Ash’s hands with less than five minutes to play to all but seal the Cowboy win.

In an overall performance that Mike Gundy described as “good, not great,” the Cowboy defense, not the offense, made the key plays in the fourth quarter in No. 6 OSU’s 38-26 victory over No. 22 Texas on Saturday at Royal-Memorial Stadium. OSU became the first team in 100 years to beat UT in Austin in back-toback seasons. “It’s just one of those SEE DEFENSE, PAGE 2B

COMMENTARY

USTIN, Texas — For one splendid series Saturday, Brandon Weeden and Justin Blackmon looked like their old selves, playing pitch-andcatch with the best of them. Four connections, for 57 yards on 63-yard touchdown drive that gave Oklahoma State a second-quarter lead. Vintage Cowboys. Otherwise, Texas corralled Blackmon and frustrated Weeden. Blackmon had just three other catches for 17 yards. Weeden threw for just 155 yards outside that drive, finishing with a career low 218. And still, sixth-ranked OSU beat the Longhorns, 38-26 at Royal-Memorial Stadium. Yes, the Cowboys have some great ballplayers. But they’ve also got a bunch of really

good ballplayers. We’ve been saying it and saying it, but Saturday the Cowboys proved it. Backup tailback Jeremy Smith ran for two huge touchdowns. Josh Cooper made a sensational catch to set up OSU’s first touchdown. Cowboy linemen, rarely considered studs, won the trenches. Defensive tackle Nigel Nicholas and d-end Jamie Blatnick played the game of their lives, each with four tackles for loss. Caleb Lavey, James Thomas, Daytawion Lowe and Cooper Bassett produced OSU’s three takeaways. Wilson Youman got a late sack that helped seal the game. Name me the all-star on that list. “I’m very happy with the guys,” said Weeden, who sometimes talks like a coach. “It’s a testament to where the program’s headed.” Immediately, the program is headed high up the BCS rankings, which will be released Sunday, presumably with OSU in at No. 4, just behind the monsters Alabama, LSU SEE TRAMEL, PAGE 2B

OSU 38, TEXAS 26 Smith torches Texas for 2 long TDs

AUSTIN, Texas — Jeremy Smith found himself touting not his big day, but the other guys in orange who struggled to find him. “Texas’ defense is too fast,” Smith said, shaking his head. Not fast enough for him. Smith provided two bolts Saturday, touchdown romps covering 30 and 74 yards, announcing himself as yet another playmaker in the Oklahoma State arsenal. And both runs were vital, providing points and a change of complexion in the Cowboys’ 38-26 win. With the Longhorns focused on containing Brandon Weeden, Justin Blackmon, et al, in the passing game, OSU ran for 202 yards and three touchdowns, with Smith and Joseph Randle together averaging 8.7 per pop. Smith’s pops were like double-barreled blasts. “Today was a game where they literally sold out to stop the pass,” Weeden said. “Those two backs kind of threw us on their shoulders and carried us. “Jeremy had two really big ones that were a back-

and Oklahoma. To beat the Sooners in December and LSU or Bama in January, the Cowboys will need the Weeden/Blackmon combo clicking, plus all the help they received Saturday. But winning at Texas for the second straight year with some blanks in Pete’s Pistol is no small deal. In-state, where bloodthirst for Bevo is high and we saw up close how vulnerable are the Longhorns, a 12-point win is disappointing. But na-

breaker.” The Longhorns made no bones about their strategy. They bracketed Blackmon with regularity, even triple-covering him at times. “You’ve got 81 (Blackmon) on one side and we have to double and it creates gaps,” said new Horns defensive coordinator Manny Diaz. “We were trying to do things to help with their passing game. “We had a couple selfinflicted wounds.” The first came with the

Cowboys leading 14-10 and facing a fourth-and-1 at the Texas 30 late in the first half. Deciding against a long field goal, OSU seemed to catch the Longhorns adjusting, and with an extra offensive lineman creating a jumbo package, blew open a massive hole in the middle that sprung Smith untouched. “There was a little bit of a lull, it seemed,” said Cowboys offensive coordinator Todd Monken. “Did

we get (the first down), did we not? And everybody was kind of standing around. And you know, you’re also trying to decide if we’re going to kick it. Is it close enough for a field goal? Do we go for it? “It’s like, ‘Screw it. Let’s go.’ The play was 4-23-10. We just ran it.” Interestingly, just moments before, Smith was getting an earful from a coach on the sideline. “Pretty much cussing me out,” Smith said. The message? “I messed up on a play,” Smith said. “I’ve just got to get downhill.” Message received. “It was firing me up a little bit,” Smith said. “The next thing I know, the hole’s wide open.” Then late in the third quarter, with the Cowboys scuffling to put the Longhorns away, Smith provided the haymaker, the 74yard gash, again up the gut. Once considered OSU’s short-yardage back, Smith ran away form UT safety Blake Gideon. “Coach (Diaz) put it on the front five to play for third down and stop the run letting the back guys do what they do,” said linebacker Keenan Robinson. “We didn’t get it done.” The Cowboys have always maintained they have two stud backs, even with

tionally, winning comfortably at 22nd-ranked Texas will carry weight. Even if it wasn’t OSU’s best shot. “I thought we played good, not great,” Mike Gundy said. “It’s not easy winning down here. No matter what anybody says … they haven’t given up the game down here. They can still make some plays.” But so can the Cowboys, even beyond Weeden and Blackmon. Starting with Smith, who not so long ago was OSU’s short-yardage tailback. Now he’s become its home run hitter. His last four touchdowns have come on double-digit yardage plays, including

runs of 30 and 74 yards. The first came on a 4th-and-1 play and capped a late drive that gave OSU a 21-10 halftime lead. The latter came in the third quarter and made it 38-24. Both were made possible by gaping holes; Smith was untouched on both. “I said this to the team yesterday,” Gundy said. “We may be getting close enough so that everybody can relax and just go play. So many years, we relied on two or three guys making all the plays, and if they didn’t play well enough, you’ll get beat.” That’s not these Cowboys. They didn’t play perfect. Kicking-game foul-ups. Too many Texas

yards on the corner. Too many dropped passes. But style points aren’t in vogue when playing at Texas. “I don’t think we played great,” Weeden said. “If we can play like that and still come out with a win in this environment … this is sweet. “We finished. That’s the main thing. We finished the game out on the road in a tough environment. I’m really proud of the guys. This is not an easy place to play.” But it is a special place to win, even in this postColt McCoy era of the Longhorns, especially when Texas makes Weeden look like something less than the greatest

Randle getting more carries. Saturday provided proof. Smith ran for 140 yards on seven carries, while Randle went for 68 and a score on 16 attempts. “We knew Jeremy Smith was good,” Blackmon said. “On most teams, he’d probably be the starter. They complement each other well, him and Randle, with the ways they run.” Said Monken: “I think we have two starters. And they both bring a lot to the table. If we introduced our starters, both are guys we count on and rely on. “It just worked out today. Sometimes the opportunities come and sometimes they don’t. Jeremy doesn’t get a chance to control that. But when given opportunities, he’s played really well.” And, Smith said, he’ll take the opportunities whenever he can. “Sometimes that’s just the way football is, especially college football these days,” he said. “There’s not just one back, there’s a 1-2 punch. “Each week, you just have to figure, this guy might have a big game, or this guy might have a good game. You never know. You’ve just got to keep your composure and whatever happens, happens.”

things that when it’s time to go and get it done, we get it done,” said OSU defensive end Jamie Blatnick, who had a career-high nine tackles and two sacks in the game. “I’ve got a lot of confidence in my teammates and we work hard and we know it’ll come our way.” It was an afternoon where Brandon Weeden only passed for 46 yards after halftime and Justin Blackmon did not reach 100 receiving yards. The Cowboys (6-0, 3-0 Big 12) punted a season-high six times. But of the Longhorns’ 26 points, only 17 were allowed by the defense, and one touchdown came on a 15-yard drive after an OSU punt hit Andrae May in the leg and was recovered by UT. OSU allowed a season-low 370 yards, forced three turnovers and recorded five sacks. That gives Weeden confidence that the Cowboys are not one-dimensional. “We put so much pressure on ourselves offensively to score and put up huge numbers,” Weeden said. “It’s not going to be like that all the time. That’s just not reality, especially when we play really good football teams. Sometimes it’s going to swing and (the defense will) win games for us and they’ll do what it takes to push us through. “That was the case for

the most part today, without a doubt. They played outstanding.” And the Cowboys made their biggest defensive stands in the final period. Down 38-24 late in the third quarter, UT (4-2, 1-2) staged a 16-play drive that ate up more than seven minutes of clock and amassed 63 yards. But the Longhorns needed 64 yards, as Whittaker fell to the ground before crossing the goal line after catching a short pass from Ash on fourth-and-goal from the 3-yard line. OSU’s next two drives resulted in a safety when Weeden stepped out of the

back of the end zone and a three-and-out, but the Cowboy defense answered by forcing a UT punt before Lowe’s forced a fumble on UT’s final possession. “Those were big,” Gundy said. “Even though we stubbed our toe there by taking the safety, that momentum was huge at that time and obviously took points off the board for them.” The defense also set up the Cowboys’ first score, as Caleb Lavey recorded his first career interception on the Longhorns’ second possession. On OSU’s ensuing drive, Weeden hit

Josh Cooper over the middle for a 37-yard pass to the 1 before Joseph Randle took the ball into the end zone on the next play to give the Cowboys a 7-0 lead. Not all was good for the Cowboy defense. It allowed UT freshman Malcolm Brown to run for 135 yards and two touchdowns on only 19 carries. But OSU was not often fooled when UT began running more gimmick plays in the second half, other than when it gave up a 24-yard touchdown run by Brown on a Statue of Liberty play. When the first BCS

rankings are revealed Sunday evening, OSU is projected to be in the top 5. The Cowboy offense is already regarded as one of the nation’s elite. And Lavey hopes Saturday’s performance shows that the defense can pick up that offense when it is not at its best. “We have an awesome offense, and it gets so much credit,” Lavey said. “But we’re trying to prove ourselves as a defense to the nation, as well. We’re trying to make plays and we’re just trying to prove that we’re part of the team, too.”

POSTGAME

OSU-TEXAS REPORT CARD

OSU NOTEBOOK

O-line, pass rush get A’s Berry Tramel btramel@ opubco.com

USTIN, Texas — OSU’s performance wasn’t pristine. The passing game was not in high gear and the kicking game was suspect. But the Cowboys did enough things right to win comfortably in a tough environment.

COMMENTARY

Defending Boise State The longer the game went on, the more Texas offensive coordinator Bryan Harsin went to his Boise State gimmicks. Lots of wildcat formation, with the ball snapped directly to tailback Fozzy Whittaker. Several reverses. And a statue of liberty play in which tailback Malcolm Brown scored on a 24-yard run. But the Cowboy defense played disciplined and wasn’t harmed too much by the gimmicks.

Hands Mike Gundy lamented what he counted as five dropped passes, which helped stifle the OSU passing game. But the Cowboys also took early command thanks to two excellent catches. Middle linebacker Caleb Lavey intercepted David Ash’s pass by tipping the ball, which was thrown behind Lavey, before spearing it. That set up a touchdown drive which was highlighted by Josh Cooper’s leaping, diving catch to the Texas 1-yard line.

Offensive line Brandon Weeden was sacked just once, and that on a safety in which he stepped out of the back of the end zone. And the Cowboy running game was spectacular, with tailbacks Jeremy Smith and Joseph Randle combining for 208 yards on 24 carries.

Uniforms Solid, with black helmets, white jerseys, orange numbers and black pants with orange stripes. The black helmet on an 87-degree day wasn’t the best way to stay cool, but a good look. Think Texas Tech, only replacing the red with orange. Kicking teams OSU usually wins the kicking game. Not Saturday. After Justin Gilbert’s 104-yard kickoff return for a touchdown to open the second half, the Cowboys allowed Fozzy Whittaker to answer with a 100-yard kickoff return. Whittaker averaged 30.4 yards per return on his other five kickoff returns, too. Plus, a Texas punt bounced off Andrae May while he was blocking, allowing the Longhorns to recover on the OSU 15-yard line.

Footwear Kudos to equipment manager Wes Edwards and his staff. The Cowboys showed no signs of sloppy footing on the Royal-Memorial Stadium turf. Meanwhile Texas quarterback David Ash was slipping all game.

Short-yardage offense The Cowboys faced four plays on third or fourth down needing two yards or less. They converted just one. But the one was big; Jeremy Smith’s 30-yard touchdown run late in the first half, on 4th-and-1.

Deep passing game Weeden four times threw deep to Justin Blackmon. All were incomplete. Offensive coordinator Todd Monken lamented the missed opportunities, considering how often Texas covered Blackmon one-on-one.

Pass rush The Cowboys got after Ash, a freshman, with five quarterback sacks. Twice that many times OSU flushed Ash from the pocket and mostly contained his scrambling. Defensive coordinator Bill Young got pressure with both blitzes and his front four. End Jamie Blatnick and safety Daytawion Lowe each had two sacks.

Ball security The Cowboys’ only turnover came on a flukish punt play. Meanwhile, OSU produced three takeaways, and while linebacker James Thomas’ late interception was irrelevant, Caleb Lavey’s first-quarter interception and Cooper Bassett’s fourth-quarter recovery of Ash’s fumble (courtesy of Lowe) were huge.

Where do the Cowboys fit in the national title hunt? The first BCS standings will be released Sunday night (ESPN, 7:15 p.m.) and unbeaten Oklahoma State figures to play prominently in the picture. Not that Cowboys coach Mike Gundy is paying attention. Not yet. “Honestly, I didn’t even know it was on. Really,” Gundy said. “I just know that when I go home, my boys usually have that on the TV, and they’ll start giving me the information about what’s going on. “As a parent, you know how you kind of listen to ’em, but really, you want to get to something else. I don’t like to know what’s going on, I just like to coach the guys and get them ready for Missouri.” Three teams — Alabama, LSU and Oklahoma — are generally considered the front-runners at this point. Still, many projections place the Cowboys, which won Saturday’s game at Texas 38-26, at No. 4. Gundy’s belief: just win. “We’ll have a chance to do whatever we want in the BCS,” he said, “because I would guess that two or three teams in the Big 12 and two or three teams in the SEC will control their own destiny. “So we just have to do the best we can to keep winning games.”

GOOD/BAD BREAK With the Cowboys backed up at their own 1-yard line after a goal-line stand by their defense, Weeden stepped over the back line of the end zone for a safety — the lesser of two evils, since he proceeded to throw an interception returned for a would-be touchdown. A touchdown would have pulled the Horns within 38-31. Instead, the safety was the final points Texas would get. “It was a rush of emotions,” said Texas safety Blake Gideon, who had the interception runback. “You are thinking the game is turned around and you just scored a touchdown, but you turn around and everybody stops. “It’s one of those deals where it’s a game of inches. He stepped out by a couple inches, so it turned out in a positive way for them.”

RETURN TO SENDER The second half started with each team striking for touchdowns in the opening 24 seconds — on kickoff returns. Justin Gilbert raced officially 100 yards as the Cowboys received the kickoff to start the half, taking the ball out of the end zone. Moments later, Fozzy Whitaker did the same for the Longhorns. Did the Cowboys let down? “I’d like to say we didn’t,” Gundy said. “I don’t think we did, we just have to get better at it.” The returns provided a swing both ways. “When you think you have the better team and you open the second half and you return it, to put us up 18 points,” Gundy said, “if you just don’t let them return it, you hold them one time, you probably score and the game’s over. And we don’t go through all these issues at the end of the game.” Gundy said it had been a long time since he’d seen back-to-back kickoff returns for scores. “Not since about the sixth grade,” he said.

HORNS STICK WITH ASH Texas had been alternating quarterbacks since replacing Garrett Gilbert, using both Case McCoy and David Ash in games. Against the Cowboys, Ash went the distance, to mixed results. He finished 22-of-40 passing for 139 yards, with two interceptions and no touchdowns. He ran 15 times for a net of 21 yards, with his rushing total taking a hit with five sacks, one of which led to a lost fumble. “He has gotten better and better each week and he needs an opportunity to play,” said Texas offensive coordinator Bryan Harsin. “I thought he did a good job getting rid of the ball. The more opportunities he gets, the better he is going to get.”

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT OSU-TEXAS Here’s a look at what coaches and players had to say after Oklahoma State’s 38-26 win over Texas: I OSU coach on Mike Gundy on winning in Austin in back-to-back seasons: “It’s not easy to come down here and win. They’re a much better football team this year than they were last year. Last year, when we came down here, in my opinion, they were really reaching and it was a much easier task. This year, they’ve made some changes and obviously played much better.” I OSU safety Daytawion Lowe on his forced fumble in the fourth quarter: “Caleb Lavey came off the edge and through the (defensive) tackle, and I just came around free. And when (UT quarterback David Ash) turned his back, I knew I had a chance to strip it, and that’s what I wanted to do. I thank God for giving me the opportunity to make that play.” I Texas coach Mack Brown on the fourth quarter: “I thought on fourthand-3 we were in position. We had Fozzy (Whittaker) open, and the ball was inches short. Then even when we come back and get the interception for the touchdown, it happens to be a safety. So we didn’t get the breaks, or make the breaks, we needed to in the second half to win the game.” I Texas tailback Fozzy Whittaker on the UT rushing attack: “Going into this game, we wanted to test the interior of their defense. Our game plan was just pound it at them, run it. Whoever was in, just run it at them as

BROWN IMPRESSED WITH WEEDEN OSU quarterback Brandon Weeden’s passing day of 218 yards was a season low and tied his career low. Still, he left an impression on the Longhorns. “We kept him at bay some,” said Texas coach Mack Brown, “and then he’d come right back and just stick it. He’s so good. He made some great throws. And those are not college throws. Those are pro throws. “We’d have some guys covered, but he would just hit them.”

COWBOYS CLEAR BARRIER

hard as we can and get the yards. I thought we did a good job pushing downfield.” I OSU quarterback Brandon Weeden on winning the day after his birthday: “This is the best birthday present I got, without a doubt. I said

on Monday, a win would be the best I could get. You always hear about Mack Brown’s record of 13-0 (the game after) the Red River Rivalry, but this is sweet.” BY GINA MIZELL

OSU’s Caleb Lavey Oklahoma State linebacker Caleb Lavey, who recorded his first career interception, sat down with The Oklahoman after the Cowboys’ 38-26 victory over Texas. How did it feel to get your first-career interception in such a key game in your home state? It was really exciting. Every turnover is huge. I’m glad I got my first one, especially down here in Texas. It was a lot of fun. I think everybody dreams about making a big play or two down in Austin, in front of the big lights. What did you see on that interception play?

Talk all week centered on how the Longhorns had never lost under Brown after the Oklahoma game, a 13-0 stretch. That streak ended Saturday. In this case, the Cowboys were favored. And while they used to have to count on things going right in the series, now they like to think they can count on winning if they just play well. “We’ve got good players,” said OSU offensive coordinator Todd Monken. “And that makes things a lot easier. Whatever was then was then. And whatever is now is now. “That’s why all that stuff about Mack Brown being 13-0 after OU … well he’s got a different team. He’s got a new staff. That’s a fact. And we’ve got a different team and we’ve got a different staff. “I don’t know what it’ll be next week, maybe they haven’t lost three games in a row, I don’t know. They’ll come up with something.”

I was dropped back in coverage and read the quarterbacks’ eyes. Luckily, I got a hand on it. I give credit to the gloves for bringing that sucker in. What does winning at Texas in back-to-back seasons mean to the OSU program? It was a big deal for all of us players. Texas is a good football team. They’re always a good program. They can beat anybody on any given day. So it was a huge deal for us to come down here and beat them. It doesn’t mean anything to be 6-0 right now. We’ve just got to keep winning, keep pushing each other in practice and just try to be a better football team.

In the first quarter, an OSU punt bounced off UT’s Quandre Diggs and the Cowboys recovered. But officials ruled Diggs was blocked into the ball. In the second quarter, a Texas punt bounced off OSU blocker Andrae May and the ’Horns recovered at the Cowboy 15-yard line. The play was upheld upon review, and Texas scored on the next play.

COWBOY MILESTONES I Jeremy Smith’s streak of 10 straight games with a rushing touchdown ties Terry Miller for the second-longest in OSU history. Barry Sanders had 15 in a row. I Hubert Anyiam had 47 receiving yards, giving him 1,019 in his career. He is the 23rd Cowboy in history to reach 1,000 yards receiving. I Gilbert’s 100-yard kickoff return gives him two touchdowns this season on kickoff returns and four for his career, tying Perrish Cox’s school record. I Gilbert also had a career high 11 tackles, I End Jamie Blatnick and tackle Nigel Nicholas each had four tackles for loss, the most by a Cowboy since Nathan Peterson had five against Baylor in 2007.

HOW THE AP TOP 25 FARED

NATIONAL NO. 8 CLEMSON 56, MARYLAND 45

Clemson rallies to stay unbeaten BY DAVID GINSBURG AP Sports Writer

COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Tajh Boyd threw four touchdown passes, freshman Sammy and No. 8 Clemson rallied from an 18-point deficit against Maryland to remain unbeaten with a 56-45 victory Saturday night. The Tigers (7-0, 4-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) trailed 28-10 late in the first half and 35-17 in the third quarter before storming back behind Boyd, who went 26 for 38 for 270 yards as the catalyst of an offense that amassed 576 yards. Boyd had plenty of help. Watkins scored on an 89yard kickoff return that put Clemson up 49-45 with 7:24 left. Watkins returned an earlier kickoff 70 yards, and his 345 all-purpose yards set a school record.

Andre Ellington rushed for a career-high 212 yards and two touchdowns for the Tigers, who have scored at least 35 points in all but one game this season. Maryland (2-4, 1-2) provided Clemson with an enormous scare behind sophomore quarterback C.J. Brown, who ran for 162 yards and a touchdown and threw three scoring passes in his first college start. Terrapins first-year coach Randy Edsall waited until just before the game to pick Brown as his starter over Danny O’Brien. Brown did everything but win the game. In addition to his rushing total, he completed 17 for 35 passes for 177 yards. But Clemson had too much offense for the Terps to overcome.

Clemson would be forced to rally again, but Boyd, Watkins and Ellington were up to the challenge. Maryland led 28-17 at halftime, but left the field lamenting several missed opportunities. The Terrapins dropped two potential interceptions, and Ronnie Tyler muffed a long pass late in the second quarter inside the Clemson 25. The Tigers opened the game with a 95-yard drive but had to settle for a field goal. Maryland then punted, but Watkins dropped the kick and the Terrapins recovered. Two plays later, Davin Meggett ran in from the 9. A second turnover produced a second Maryland touchdown, this one a 46yard interception return by Cameron Chism that made it 14-3.

burg to put Maryland up 45-42, Watkins took off on his decisive kickoff return and Ellington clinched it with a 44-yard touchdown run with 3:55 to go. The Terrapins took their second 18-point lead early in the third quarter when Brown capped a 78-yard touchdown drive with a 22-yard pass to Furstenburg. Boyd responded with a 13-yard TD pass to Watkins to make it 35-24. After each team kicked a field goal, Boyd connected with Watkins for 51 yards, ran for 4 and threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to Watkins. The 2-point conversion got Clemson to 38-35 entering the fourth quarter. The comeback became complete when Boyd threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Jaron Brown with 11:26 left to end an 80-yard drive.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK

Boise State president looking for automatic qualifying status Boise State president Robert Kustra says the university’s responsibility is to get the Broncos as close as possible to an automatic qualifying status in the BCS. The Big East is expected to invite Boise State’s football program to join a reconfigured conference as soon as next week, but that might not be the best move for the Broncos at this time. “I don’t have any idea right now … of who’s going to be in, who’s going to be out” in the Big East, Kustra told The Associated Press. “And so if anybody asked me today, if anybody invited me today, I wouldn’t know what I was getting invited to.”

BIG EAST WANTS TO RAISE EXIT FEE The Big East knows which schools it wants to add. Now it’s just a matter getting those programs to come aboard. To help convince some of the candidates — such as Boise State — that the Big East will be stable in the long run, the conference has a plan in place to double its exit fee to $10 million. An official in the Big East told The Associated Press that conference leaders are slated to vote Monday on raising that fee, which will clear the way to invite six new members. Along with Boise State, which would be invited only to play football in the Big East, the league also wants to invite Air Force and Navy as football-only members and Conference USA members Central Florida, SMU and Houston to join in all sports.

VIRGINIA SHOCKS GEORGIA TECH Perry Jones ran for 149 of Virginia’s 272 yards on the ground and the Cavaliers beat No. 12 Georgia Tech at its own game, 24-21, on Saturday night. The Cavaliers (4-2, 1-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) sealed the victory by holding onto the ball for the final 6 minutes, making five first downs to get inside the Yellow Jackets’ 5. But they didn’t need to score, and when quarterback Michael Rocco took a knee for a 3-yard loss on the game’s final play, thousand of fans surged onto the field at Scott Stadium. Georgia Tech (6-1, 3-1), off to its best start since 1966, came in with one of the nation’s top offenses, but it was held to just two pass completions and a season-low 296 yards by a Virginia defense that made the most of an extra week to prepare for the tricky triple option.

LATTIMORE HURT IN S. CAROLINA WIN South Carolina won its first game since former starting quarterback Stephen Garcia was removed from the team, defeating Mississippi State 14-12. However, the Gamecocks didn’t come through unscathed. Coach Steve Spurrier told reporters that doctors told him running back Marcus Lattimore sprained a knee in the fourth quarter.

BALL STATE HOLDS OFF OHIO Steven Schott kicked a 27-yard field goal in the fourth quarter and Ball State held off Ohio for a 23-20 win on Saturday. Following Schott’s game-winner, Ohio’s Tyler Tettleton, a former Norman North standout, threw his second interception of the day, to Joshua Howard. Tettleton had two touchdowns, 246 yards and two interceptions on 18-of-30 passing for Ohio (4-3, 1-2).

PATERNO BACK TO THE BOX Joe Paterno coached Penn State’s homecoming game against Purdue from the Beaver Stadium press box. The 84-year-old Hall of Famer is recovering from right shoulder and pelvis injuries suffered after a receiver ran into him in practice Aug. 7. Paterno was feeling better last week before two of his players pulled him back to avoid another collision during the 13-3 win Oct. 8 over Iowa. Paterno said that left him sore — including his surgically repaired hip. He was on the field for pregame warmups Saturday before heading upstairs for the Nittany Lions’ 23-18 victory.

TOP PERFORMERS I J.J. McDermott, SMU, threw for 358 yards and two TDs in a 38-17 victory over UCF. I Riley Nelson, BYU, threw for 217 yards and three TDs, and rushed for 87 yards to lead the Cougars over Oregon State 38-28. I Keith Price, Washington, threw for 257 yards and had four first-half TD passes in an impressive 52-24 rout of Colorado. I Jacory Harris, Miami, passed for 267 yards and three TDs to help the Hurricanes beat North Carolina 30-24. FROM WIRE REPORTS

TEXAS A&M 55, BAYLOR 28

Aggies’ prolific air show keys rout of Bears BY BRENT ZWERNEMAN San Antonio Express-News

COLLEGE STATION, Texas

— Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman sought out dynamic Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III following the No. 21 Aggies’ 55-28 whipping of the No. 20 Bears on Saturday at Kyle Field. “Seemed like a heck of a kid,” a relieved Sherman said. “I told him, ‘If you’re ‘3,’ I don’t want to meet ‘1’ and ‘2.’ ” While Griffin in typical fashion set the field on fire, the Bears had an unpleasant encounter with a couple of Aggie “1s” carrying the same first name: quarterback Ryan Tannehill and receiver Ryan Swope. “Tannehill is a great practice player, and Swope is a great practice player,” Sherman said. “And they play the game like they practice.” Tannehill and Swope appeared to be running drills against a beleaguered Bears secondary, with each turning in whopping statistical days and leaving Baylor in a daze before 87,361 fans, the fourthlargest crowd in Kyle history. Swope, a junior, col-

lected a school record four touchdowns as part of his 11 catches for 206 receiving yards. Two of his touchdown receptions went for 68 yards. “He’s a tremendous athlete and just a good route runner,” Baylor safe-

ty K.J. Morton said. Tannehill, a senior, threw six touchdowns — second most in school history to Dustin Long’s seven against Texas Tech in 2002 — and for 415 yards, third most in school history.

“Ryan has a great feel for the game,” Swope said. “He’s a smart football player and just a great athlete.” Meanwhile the Aggies (4-2, 2-1 Big 12) continued their rebound from two tight losses to Oklahoma

Tigers, Franklin roll over Iowa State BY R.B. FALLSTROM AP Sports Writer

COLUMBIA, Mo. — James Franklin accounted for five touchdowns. Got humbled a bit, too. Franklin threw three touchdown passes and ran for two scores for Missouri in a 52-17 rout of Iowa State in the Tigers’ 100th homecoming game on Saturday. He was intercepted twice, one of them returned for a score, providing teaching points. “Those were very poor decisions by James, and the great thing about that is he came back,” Tigers coach Gary Pinkel said. “Body language-wise, he was disappointed how he let the team down. “The good news is how you respond to it and I thought he did a great job of coming out of that and executing our offense.” Michael Egnew, T.J. Moe and Wes Kemp each had a scoring reception for Missouri (3-3, 1-2 Big 12), which scored on its first four possessions. Much of a sellout crowd of 71,004 had dispersed by the end of

mage,” Sherman said. For his part, Griffin set Baylor’s single-game passing record with 430 yards. The Aggies, however, kept the pressure on him with five sacks, including 2½ by outside linebacker Damontre Moore. The game’s turning point occurred early in the fourth quarter. Baylor, trailing 41-28, tried unsuccessfully to convert a fourth-and-goal from the 4-yard line. A&M safety Trent Hunter blitzed on the play and hurried Griffin into lobbing an errant pass toward the back of the end zone. “After that fourth-down stop, every guy was running off the field, jumping up and down,” Nealy said. The offense in turn marched 96 yards on a drive capped by a 47-yard touchdown pass from Tannehill to Uzoma Nwachukwu. “This win is huge,” said Sherman, one usually not given to dramatic flair. “We think we have a good team, but are we? We have to prove it every single time we walk on the field.”

BIG 12 SCOREBOARD

Wildcats come back for victory LUBBOCK, Texas — Collin Klein ran for three touchdowns and threw for another as No. 17 Kansas State came from behind to beat Texas Tech 41-34 on Saturday night. Klein ran for 110 yards on 23 carries, scoring on three short runs and hitting Chris Harper for a 3-yard TD pass on the Wildcats’ (6-0, 3-0) first drive of the third quarter. Tyler Lockett returned a kickoff 100 yards early in the second quarter for the Wildcats, who are undefeated after six games for the first time since 2000. Texas Tech (4-2, 1-2) was held to two field goals in the second half. Seth Doege had 461 yards and a touchdown on 43-of-63 passing, but had three of his four turnovers in consecutive possessions in the fourth quarter. He also ran for a score. He had just one interception coming into the game. After Texas Tech’s field goal late in the game to pull within 41-34, the Red Raiders recovered an onside kick.

State and Arkansas with a second consecutive victory over an in-state rival. A week earlier, A&M prevailed 45-40 at Texas Tech, as the Southeastern Conference-bound Aggies continue their farewell tour of the Big 12. “It’s been a blast, and we’ve blocked out the media talking all the (stuff) they’ve talked about us,” A&M defensive end Spencer Nealy said. “Really, it’s just given us our swagger back. And this week is crucial to continuing the fun.” The Aggies, who next play at Iowa State as they try to keep pace in the Big 12, for the first time in four games outscored their opponent in the second half. This time, they busted open a 24-14 halftime lead by unleashing an ideal mix of the run and pass against the staggered Bears (4-2, 1-2). In addition to Tannehill’s 37 passes, the Aggies ran the ball 45 times, with Christine Michael leading the way with 105 rushing yards. He and Cyrus Gray have alternated 100-yard games over the past three contests. “The offensive line is moving the line of scrim-

the Tigers’ 10th straight victory at home, and their first game at Faurot Field in a month. “It’s always good to start fast and be able to move the ball and score points like that,” Franklin said. “They’re going to make plays, too, so I think we did a good job putting our mistakes behind us.” It was the most lopsided setback of the year for Iowa State (3-3, 0-3). A.J.

Klein’s 78-yard interception return for a touchdown was the lone highlight for the Cyclones, who have been outscored 54-10 in the first quarter. “They were a dangerous football team waiting to explode,” Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads said. “They did it twice with long fields, they did it twice with short fields and made mincemeat out of our football team.”

Missouri had no penalty yardage in its fifth straight victory in the series, addressing a problem area. Linebacker Luke Lambert had two fumble recoveries. Pinkel was pleased at the improvements, with the Tigers set to play Oklahoma State next week. “If we’re very focused, we can be pretty good,” Pinkel said. “And if we’re not focused, we can be very average. Everybody’s got to be locked in.” After scoring on the first four drives for a 28-3 cushion, the Tigers turned it over in the passing game the next three times but were hurt only by Klein’s third career touchdown. The Tigers had 298 yards rushing one week after managing just 112 yards in a loss at No. 17 Kansas State. “We need to become more focused for games like this, to go out there and give everything we have,” linebacker Jake Knott said. “We thought we had fixed everything. They found another weakness, so we’re going to have to go back and fix that weakness.”

Run game lifts Cavs past No. 12 Jackets BY HANK KURZ JR. AP Sports Writer

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Virginia coach Mike London paused for a minute, as if he was trying to measure his words, and then smiled like he was throwing caution to the wind. Virginia had just finished off a 24-21 victory against No. 12 Georgia Tech, a triumph that caused several thousand fans to stream onto the field, and he was enjoying the feeling. “This is one of those wins that can change the perception of what you think about yourself,” the second-year coach said. “Last-second play against Indiana. Last-second play against Idaho. Overtime. But this is one of those wins against a good team with a lot of accomplishments that you can try to turn the corner on, about how you think about yourself.” And the Cavaliers, given two weeks to prepare, beat the Yellow Jackets at their own game. Perry Jones ran for 149 of Virginia’s 272 yards on the ground and the Cava-

liers slowed Georgia Tech’s triple option better than anyone has all season, limiting it to 296 yards. “It’s probably the hardest we’ve prepared for a game and the results showed,” senior cornerback Chase Minnifield said of the extra time to get ready a bye week allowed. “Without that second week, we might not have had the same result,” he said. The Cavaliers (4-2, 1-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) sealed the victory by holding onto the ball for the final 6 minutes, making five first downs to get inside the Yellow Jackets’ 5. But they didn’t need to score, and when quarterback Michael Rocco took a knee for a 3-yard loss on the game’s final play, thousand of fans surged onto the field at Scott Stadium. “People in the past have basically put us on the back burner, put us to the side,” said Jones, whose yardage came on just 18 carries. “I’m glad we came out with a statement victory.”

MCVAY SETS RECORD

BY TIM DAHLBERG The Associated Press

Without the benefit of a lip reader it was hard to tell what Prince Fielder and Albert Pujols found so funny when they shared a laugh at first base during Game 4 of the National League Championship Series. Could have been some kind of inside joke between the two slugging free agents to be. Perhaps even the idea that the Cardinals would actually give up a piece of the team to keep Pujols, surely a laughable notion on its own. Or maybe they were just laughing about flouting baseball’s fraternization rule on national television and getting away with it. Not that anybody gets punished anymore for yukking it up with members of the other team. If they did, someone like Orlando Hudson of the Padres would owe more in fines than he gets in salary for the conversations he has with anyone who happens to stop at second base. But a rule is a rule. And there’s nothing ambiguous about section 3.09 of baseball’s official rules. “Players of opposing teams shall not fraternize at any time while in uniform,” it reads. Go early to any baseball game, and you’ll see that rule broken around the batting cage. Watch any game and invariably you’ll see someone chatting on the base paths with a member of the other team. But the Cardinals and Brewers are battling each other to get in the World Series. It’s serious stuff, for both the franchises and their rabid fans. Watch Fielder and Pujols, and it seems little more than a laughing matter. It wasn’t always that way. There was a time in baseball when chatting up an opposing player on first SEE BASEBALL, PAGE 11B

OSU BASKETBALL STILLWATER — Walking

across campus, the Oklahoma State freshman hardly looks out of place. His orange shirt is the latest in Nike Dri-Fit style, paired with plaid shorts and Nike sneakers. And a comfortable smile suggests he’s quite at ease in his new surroundings. Except for a few details. There’s his height, not at all fudged with an official listing of 7-foot. And

Oklahoma State center Marek Soucek came to Stillwater from the Czech Republic, and he’s one of 32 athletes for the Cowboys from other countries. PHOTO BY STEVE GOOCH, THE OKLAHOMAN

there’s his heavy Eastern European accent, unmistakable, yet manageable through solid English. And there’s the fact that

Marek Soucek, OSU’s latest basketball find, nearly 5,300 miles from home, is still running to catch up to a whirlwind recruitment

that brought him from the Czech Republic to here — barely — in time for the upcoming season. Soucek’s role on this

year’s squad is uncertain, with a lack of bulk and strength a potential drawback to any immediate impact. Still, Cowboys coaches are excited about his future, whether that’s sooner or later. And so is he, now that he’s finally gained a firm foothold, after gaining traction for getting to the United States was initially so difficult. SEE SOUCEK, PAGE 16B

INTERVIEWED BY RYAN ABER, RYABER@OPUBCO.COM

At 36, Corey Hart could probably still be playing baseball. But in 2006, when he was 30 years old, the Brewers organization told him they weren’t interested in his services as a player anymore but wanted him to stay with the organization as a coach. The former Westmoore and OU standout decided to make the leap to coaching. He has spent the last two seasons as the hitting coach for the Florida Marlins’ Double-A team in Jacksonville, Fla. I played with the Brewers my last year, went to spring training the next year and they released me on a Friday and offered me the coaching job for the High-A team at the same time. I interviewed Saturday and was coaching by Sunday. It was something I always wanted to do, and the opportunity fell open for me, so I jumped on it., Luckily I didn’t have to start at the bottom of the totem pole. I probably could’ve played a little while longer. I wasn’t sure if it was time or not but I was kind of seeing the pattern of maybe seeing the same ability in other guys around, but they had to pay me more since I’d been playing longer. I figured that wasn’t going to change much, so it was time. It’s been great. I really enjoy coaching. I go to the office and put my work clothes on, and it’s a baseball uniform. That’s my suit and tie. I had no reason to leave the Brewers (after the 2009 season), except the Marlins came after me and offered me money I

couldn’t turn down. My wife, Stacy, is a diehard Brewers fan. She grew up in Wisconsin. She was ... it hurt. But it was something we had to do. She still follows the Brewers. There’s about six or seven of us Sooners with the Marlins. I make the joke all the time that the Sooners are slowly taking over the Florida Marlins organization. It can’t hurt us to fill it up with Sooners. My favorite memory of college has to be winning the Big 12 Tournament in 1997. We played well but we lost early in the tournament and had to fight our way back and beat everybody. We dug down deep and found something there and came out with the win.

My parents still live in south Oklahoma City and we try to get there once a year at least if we can. Part of me wants to be a big-league hitting coach, but there’s part of me that doesn’t because the job security isn’t very high. If your players don’t hit, they can fire you at any time. It could be a future goal. It would be something I would do once, but it’s not easy. The hitting coach doesn’t swing the bat one time all year. Your job rests with them. I can’t count the number of times I’ve been mistaken for one of the other Corey Harts. Now, it’s the baseball one more often. It doesn’t bother me really. I’m used to it. It doesn’t happen as much

anymore as it used to when I was with the Brewers. I actually played with the other Corey Hart (in 2005 with Nashville). I’ve been getting his cards in the mail for close to 10 years now. I signed a couple of them early and sent them to people. When I finally met him, I told him I did that and he said he’d signed a few of mine too and done the same thing so it was kind of an ongoing thing. As for the other Corey Hart (the musician), I had to get used to hearing the song (Sunglasses at Night) everywhere, especially on the road. It seemed like everywhere we went, they’d play that song when I came to the plate.

SOONERS RALLY PAST KANSAS NFL

Peterson sees opportunity vs. Bears BY ANDREW SELIGMAN AP Sports Writer

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — For one brief moment, it was 2007 all over again in Adrian Peterson’s mind. The Minnesota Vikings’ star couldn’t help but think about his own spectacular performance against the Chicago Bears when he saw Detroit’s Jahvid Best go 88 yards untouched to the end zone on Monday night. One big run brought on one big flashback. Now, he’s wondering if a replay is in order. Peterson, a former OU star, will try to create more havoc against a defense that is giving up big plays at an alarming rate when the Vikings (1-4) visit the Bears (2-3) on Sunday night. If he does, it won’t be the first time he ran wild at Soldier Field. Four years ago, Peterson blew through Chicago like a winter wind gust and was a one-man highlight reel in just his fifth game as a pro, running for a club-record 224 yards while leading Minnesota to a three-

point win. Three weeks later, he set the NFL mark with 296 yards against San Diego, but his total against the Bears still stands as an all-time high for an opponent. When he saw Best break off that big run during the Lions’ 24-13 victory over Chicago, he had a flashback. “It was a feeling of, ‘Hey, if the guys are willing, we’re going to be able to take advantage and get something like that out of ‘em also this Sunday

night,“’ he said. “We’ll see how things pan out.” So far, things aren’t panning out well — for either team. Detroit and Green Bay, the last two unbeaten teams at 5-0, are threatening to make it a two-way race in the NFC North after Chicago won the division last season. If the Bears or Vikings are going to make a move, they’d better start now. “They just don’t hand out championships this

early in the season,” coach Lovie Smith said. “It’s as simple as that. Five wins won’t get you anywhere.” He was quick to point out that the Bears turned their season around a year ago just when it looked like they were basically finished and went on a run that catapulted them all the way to the NFC championship game. What’s happening so far is in many ways eerily familiar. The play-calling at times has been heavily skewed toward the pass. The offensive line is a mess. And Jay Cutler continues to be harassed every time he drops back. He was dodging the onslaught against the Lions all night, sidestepping the rush and still throwing for 249 yards. He was only sacked three times, but it easily could have been more. As it is, Cutler is tied with Sam Bradford and Tarvaris Jackson for the league lead with 18 sacks after being taken down 52 times a year ago.

The No. 22-ranked Oklahoma volleyball team recovered from a two-set deficit to beat Kansas 3-2 in a Big 12 matchup Saturday in Norman. Junior libero Maria Fernanda became OU’s career leader in digs. She had a match-high 21 Saturday and has 1,446 in three seasons. OU (18-5 overall and 5-2 Big 12) had a season-best eight kills and a match-best .429 hitting percentage from Brianne Barker.

OU GYMNASTS DO WELL Current and former Oklahoma gymnasts performed well Saturday at the World Championships individual event finals in Tokyo, Japan. Steven Legendre and Jonathan Horton finished in the top eight in the floor exercise and still rings, respectively. Legendre finished fifth in the floor with a 15.400 score. Horton, a 2008 Olympian, was seventh on the rings at 14.300. Another OU gymnast, Jake Dalton, had not qualified for the individual finals. But he was added to the list of competitors in the floor exercise as a replacement for Marian Dragulescu of Romania. Dalton finished in eighth place with a 15.133 score.

BAYER WINS FEATURE Kevin Bayer of Bixby won the preliminary A feature race late Friday night at the Sooner Midget Sprint Nationals at I-44 Riverside Speedway in Oklahoma City.

Najera won’t play at Pan Ams with Mexico Charlotte Bobcats forward and former Oklahoma standout Eduardo Najera will not play for Mexico at the Pan American games because he couldn’t reach an insurance agreement. Najera, considered Mexico’s top player, says insurers declined to provide him a policy because of his “age and history of injuries.” Mexican officials said the policy would cost about $26,000, but the 35-yearold Najera hinted other issues may have come into

play. He says that during training he “felt very little interest” from the coach in having him and other players in the squad.

SIMPSON IN CONTENTION AT SEA ISLAND Webb Simpson shot a 1-under 69 on Saturday and is tied for third heading into the final round of the McGladrey Classic. Simpson and world No. 1 Luke Donald are vying for the PGA Tour money title and both have said they will play next week at Disney. Simpson trails Donald by

$68,971, but could move into the top spot with a strong round Sunday. Simpson also is looking for a tour-leading third win this year, which could make him the favorite for PGA Tour player of the year.

JERRY WEST REVEALS LIFELONG DEPRESSION Jerry West says he has battled depression since childhood, when his father would beat the future Hall of Famer, causing low selfesteem that has plagued him despite a successful career as one of the NBA’s biggest influences.

West says his West Virginia childhood was devoid of love and filled with anger as a result of his abusive father, who left him feeling tormented and worthless. West tells HBO’s “Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel” he “would go to bed feeling like I didn’t even want to live.” West’s memoir, “West by West: My Charmed, Tormented Life,” is in stores Wednesday. It’s a book his wife, Karen, their four sons and his four siblings didn’t want him to write. The HBO interview airs Tuesday. FROM WIRE REPORTS

NLCS: ST. LOUIS LEADS SERIES 3-2

Brewers look to extend series to aces BY COLIN FLY AP Sports Writer

Shaun Marcum thinks people really want to see two aces face off in Game 7 with the NL pennant on the line. He can go a long way to forcing that matchup with a strong effort Sunday. Marcum will get the ball for Milwaukee when it faces Edwin Jackson and St. Louis in the league championship series, with the Brewers trailing 3-2 in the best-of-seven series. If the Brewers win, Yovani Gallardo would pitch against Chris Carpenter on Monday night. “I think I’m on the bandwagon with everybody in here, probably everybody in the country that wants to see Yo versus Carp in Game 7,” Marcum said. “I’m going to try to get the ball to Yo.” This series has been more about what comes next on the mound. St. Louis has taken the lead in every game of the MILWAUKEE

series, and the Cardinals’ bullpen is 2-0 with a 1.66 ERA in 21 2/3 innings over the first five games. Manager Tony La Russa has made 23 pitching changes using all eight of his relievers. “In the end, players decide, pitchers decide who plays,” La Russa said. “We’re all basically reading basically the same. We just have different weapons. When you watch the game tomorrow, the players will decide. “Edwin’s going to decide how far he goes. It depends on how he’s pitching. I don’t go in thinking let’s get 5 1/3 from him. I don’t think anything. I just watch the game.” Cardinals closer Jason Motte said La Russa is deflecting credit he deserves for his managing in this series. “He knows how to push the right buttons. You can say what you want, but it’s worked so far. He knows so many stats and so many numbers and situations,

Holliday went 3 for 3 with the two RBIs in his final atbat. He drove in the Cardinals’ first run of their loss Thursday with a solo homer — his first home run of the postseason — and later doubled. The surge comes two days after he looked so out of sorts and went fishing for a series of pitches out of the zone that manager Tony La Russa publicly stated that he wouldn’t bat Holliday fourth again because the pressure to produce was “unfair” on the left fielder.

Five hits in the span of eight at-bats might alter that view. “The home run for him was big — that oppositefield (shot),” said teammate Lance Berkman, who hit cleanup Friday. “Once you find something like that, something clicks that kind of takes a little of the heat off, a little of the pressure off. You can relax a little bit, you see the ball a little bit better. He may go on a rampage and carry us.” MCT Information Services

Baseball: Too much talk FROM PAGE 9B

base meant you weren’t going to play first base anymore. Baseball fined players just for talking with members of the other team, and players themselves made sure their teammates understood the opposition was the enemy, not their friend. Think Ty Cobb was looking to make buddies when he sharpened his spikes before running the bases? Would someone like Bob Gibson stop to say hello to a first baseman they had just brushed back the inning before? Times have changed, sure, with players switching teams so often now that they invariably have friends from other teams. They’re all rich young men, too, who like nothing better than to hang out with those of their ilk. Save it for dinner after the game, though. There’s no laughing in baseball — not when it’s between players from opposing teams. Joe Torre would certainly like to see it stop, though teams didn’t seem to take his memo on the subject earlier this year very seriously. The executive vice president of baseball operations is old school in his belief that opposing players shouldn’t be hugging each other and having conversations on the field.

Torre was manager of the Cardinals in 1992 when relief pitcher Todd Worrell and first baseman Pedro Guerrero threw punches at each other after Guerrero brought Chicago’s Sammy Sosa into the clubhouse following a Cubs win. He immediately banned opposing players from the clubhouse and told his players that fraternization would not be tolerated. Utility player Rex Hudler made sure Sosa and any other opposing player understood. “Anyone else comes in here again, they’re free game,” Hudler said. “Open season, baby.” That kind of attitude seems to be mostly missing these days, with players treating the game like it’s one big fraternity. Pujols himself seemed taken back early in the season when his very public hug before a game with Jim Hendry, then the general manager of the Cubs, immediately prompted talk of the Cubs having the inside track for Pujols once his contract with the Cardinals expired. “He’s on the other side. I’m on our side. I just think it’s kind of ridiculous,” Pujols said. That may be true, but don’t blame fans if they think the line is being blurred. They come to watch Pujols hit, not hug, and many of them have

Holliday back on track ST. LOUIS — For St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Matt Holliday, the return to the lineup from a nagging hand injury has come in two stages. First, he was cleared to swing. Then he had to get healthy to work on his swing. Forced into a little onthe-job rehab for his hand and his bat, Holliday has steadily regained his form, lofting a homer Thursday and finishing Friday’s 7-1 rout with three hits. Holliday, who played at Stillwater, pulled a tworun double into left field to cap the Cardinals’ scoring as they took a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven National League Championship Series. After starting October without an extrabase hit in seven games, he has three in two games. “I’ve had an opportunity to work on my swing,” Holliday explained, “because now my hand is feeling good enough to work on my swing.” Batting fifth in the lineup for Friday’s Game 5,

trouble understanding just what there is to love about the other team. Pujols and Fielder are going to have a lot to talk about in the offseason. They’re the biggest catches on the free-agent market, and their new contracts likely will be among the richest ever in baseball. They’ll have plenty of things to smile about then, plenty of time to share a few laughs. For now, though, they should do us all a favor and just play baseball.

Arizona. The roof was open in the first two games against the Cardinals. “It’s going to be noisy no matter if the roof’s open or closed,” Cardinals shortstop Rafael Furcal said. “No problem. It’s a regular game.” Milwaukee won a major-league best 57 times at home during the regular season, and four more in the postseason. But St.

Louis won the most recent one at Miller Park and needs one of the next two for its 18th NL pennant. “Our record kind of speaks volumes. Our crowd has been outstanding for us all year,” Brewers third baseman Jerry Hairston Jr. said. “We feel confident at home. Hopefully we’ll play tomorrow like we always have here.” The NL winner hosts the World Series opener against Texas or Detroit on Wednesday night.

HIGH SCHOOLS

There is no Elias Sports Bureau to quickly compute the statistical prowess of Friday night in Oklahoma high school football history, but it’s hard to imagine a night with more highscoring games. And we’re not talking about a bunch of big blowouts or eight-man duels that look more like basketball scores. These were big-school, 11-man football games. In Class 4A and above, nine games had at least 73 points scored, with each losing team scoring 27 or more. Of course, no game had more offense than Enid’s 80-57 win over Bixby. “In 25 years as a coach and more as a player, it was the craziest game I’ve ever seen,” Enid coach Tommy Parker said. “I’ve never been a part of anything close to that.” What could have been the feeling in the Bixby fieldhouse watching film on Saturday morning? Imagine scoring 57 points, and losing — by 23. At Putnam City, the Pirates led Mustang 48-34 at the end of the third quarter, and put the game away with three fourth-quarter scores for a 69-34 win. These aren’t wild, spread offenses throwing

the ball 50 times a game, running fast-paced, nohuddle offenses. Enid’s Popeye Handley rushed for a school-record 379 yards. Putnam City threw for 256 yards, but on just nine completions, while rushing the ball 43 times in 55 offensive snaps (494 yards). Casey Curtis rushed 27 times for 262 yards as part of the Pirates’ 750 yards of total offense. Here are a few other score-fests of note: Noble 66, Southeast 27; Ada 49, El Reno 39; Piedmont 42, Elk City 36. And if you include Class 3A and 2A, you’ve got scores like Mount St. Mary 60, Cordell 38; Blackwell 50, Nowata 42; Dewey 48, Inola 32. You’re probably thinking, “Yeah, well, how good

was the defense being played in all of these highscoring ballgames?” You’re right, this kind of statistical anomaly wouldn’t happen if you had two really good defensive teams playing each other — say, two of the best defenses in the ultracompetitive Class 5A. Like Guthrie and Carl Albert. Wrong. Guthrie 38, Carl Albert 35. “Back when I started, everybody was running the double-tight end, Iformation, and the defenses had nine or 10 guys in the box,” Guthrie coach Rafe Watkins said. “If your quarterback threw the ball six times a game, he had to ice his elbow afterward. “It’s crazy to see some of these scores. Now, if you

only give up 21points, people are happy.” It’s not a new idea that offenses are getting ahead of defenses, particularly with the spread and all the creative formations offenses are using to get their playmakers in the open field. But even still, Friday was a night like we’ve rarely seen. For fans who like offense, you’re living in the glory days. For the football purists who prefer a 14-10 game, find solace in Watkins’ expectation for the future. “It’s a defensive coordinator’s nightmare right now, defending everything people are doing” he said. “But the defenses will catch up, and it will evolve. And it will all return back to where it was.”

Edmond North gets win to cap tough week No. 4 Edmond North improved to 7-0 with Friday’s win over Westmoore, which is the best start in school history. But the most recent win came as tough as it could have. The Huskies lost a teammate, sophomore defensive lineman Ryan Smith, on Wednesday. Smith died one day after breaking his leg in practice. The cause of death is still unknown. Plus, Edmond North faced its toughest test to date on the field. Westmoore led the Huskies 6-3 at halftime. “To be honest, we haven’t really been put through any kind of adversity, and it seemed like it all piled on us this week,” Edmond North coach Jeremy Dombek said. “That’s a testament to our seniors and to our entire football team.”

DIBBLE INCHES CLOSER TO POSTSEASON With Friday night’s 40-12 win over Elmore City, Dibble moved into prime position to secure a playoff spot in District A-5. There’s a good chance the Demons’ meeting with Rush Springs this week will be for third place in the district behind Wynnewood and Wayne. “I think we’re similar teams,” Dibble coach J.R. Conrad said of his team and Rush Springs. “Coach (Tim) Beard has done a great job over there. They line up and get after you. We’re going to have our hands full.” Seth Hamby Dibble hasn’t made the playDibble running offs since 2006. back Against Elmore City, the Demons pulled out the blowout win with backup quarterback Brandon Beasley leading the way on a three-pronged offensive attack featuring running back Seth Hamby and fullback Tazden Jevons. “It’s tough to defend those three,” Conrad said. “He (Beasley) can scramble and extend plays. He’s a pretty mobile guy.”

WOOD HAS BIG GAME IN NOBLE WIN Noble picked up its second win of the season Friday over Southeast, and junior running back Jimmy Wood had a huge individual performance for the Bears. Wood ran the ball 26 times for 286 yards and four touchdowns in Noble’s 66-27 win. For the season, Wood has 863 yards and six scores. The Bears (2-5) face another stiff District 5A-1 test Thursday at Deer Creek (6-1).

CUSHING BUILDING MOMENTUM Behind a strong performance by senior Dawson Myers, Cushing logged a second straight impressive victory. A week after shocking the Class 4A world by upsetting No. 1 Douglass 16-7, Cushing topped Cleveland 42-7 on Friday. Myers rushed for 268 yards and four touchdowns, and caught one pass for a TD, scoring four of his five touchdowns in the second half as Cushing pulled away from a 14-3 halftime lead. Cushing endured a three-game losing streak in September that concluded with a 34-33 loss to Glenpool. But now, the Tigers have won two straight and have positioned themselves for a playoff berth. “We’re building momentum program-wide,” coach Barrett Shupe said of his 4-3 squad. “When you beat a team like Douglass, it shows that the kids are really buying into what you’re doing. This has given some life to the program, and it’s been good for the community.”

SHATTUCK’S MCCANDLESS HAS WILD HALF Shattuck’s Aaron McCandless had a short but productive night in the Indians’ 47-0 win over Boise City on Friday. McCandless rushed the ball eight times for 124 yards and five touchdowns. He also kicked five extra points as Shattuck improved to 6-1 on the season. BY JASON KERSEY, SCOTT WRIGHT AND RYAN ABER

Blanchard fans kept chanting “Little Miller” when Lauren Miller stepped to the plate in the sixth inning of the state Class 4A state fast-pitch softball championship game Saturday against conference rival Tuttle. The sophomore outfielder played this season in the shadow of her older sister, Leslie, Blanchard’s senior pitching ace and University of Oklahoma commit, who had 13 home runs during the season plus three in the first two state tournament games. On Saturday it was little sister Lauren’s turn to be the hero. The younger Miller hit a towering two-run homer in the sixth inning that rallied the Lions to a comefrom-behind 4-2 victory over the Tigers and Blanchard’s second state title in three seasons. “I guess she will be big Miller now,” Blanchard head coach Larry Weaver said. The Lions entered the bottom of the sixth trailing 2-1 and with only one hit off Tuttle starting pitcher Caitlin Sill.

Leslie Miller, who gave up back-to-back home runs in the fourth on consecutive pitches to Tuttle’s Taylor Gallagher and Annie Combs, opened the inning with a single. Her sister then followed with the two-run blast that broke the hearts of Tuttle fans. “I’ve been telling myself, ‘I can do it. I can do it like Leslie can,’” Lauren Miller said. “It’s big shoes to fill, but I am going to try and step up and fill them. That time I got it done.” Leslie Miller said she knew her sister would deliver a big hit. “She’s been hitting home runs all season,” Leslie Miller said. “She keeps her cool at the plate. I had 100 percent confidence she would get it done.” One batter later, first baseman Ashley Trent, who had been intentionally walked in her first two at-bats with runners in scoring position, belted a long bomb over the leftfield fence. That gave the Lions a 4-2 cushion heading into the final inning. Tuttle threatened in the seventh, putting two runners aboard on an error and Shelby Carel’s single. But Leslie Miller was able

to retire the final two Tiger batters on a strikeout and pop-up on the infield to third baseman Kaytlynn Maxwell. It was the second time in three years that Blanchard has defeated Tuttle in the state title game, winning 3-1 in 2009. The Lions also won the only previous meeting between

the two clubs this season, 2-1 in nine innings. Leslie Miller allowed four hits and fanned eight in her final fast-pitch softball game for the Lions. “It makes me feel good to win it for my sister,” Lauren Miller said. “I felt like I needed to win in for her and my seniors.”

CLASS 5A STATE SOFTBALL TOURNAMENT

Jones’ 3 HRs propel Carl Albert BY ED GODFREY Staff Writer egodfrey@opubco.com

McKenzie Jones broke out of her batting slump in a big way Saturday. The Carl Albert junior hit three home runs — two in the same inning — as the Titans clobbered Tahlequah, 17-7, to win their fourth state fastpitch softball title in six years and second consecutive championship. Jones had six RBIs in the game — hitting two homers in a 10-run Titan fifth inning — and tossed the final 2 1/3 innings in relief to get the pitching win in the Class 5A state championship game at ASA Hall of Fame Stadium. “I keep feeling like I am going to wake up here in a second,” Jones said after Carl Albert’s slugfest with the Tigers. “I am so surprised right now. I just wanted to get out of my slump.” The Titans hit six home runs in the game and four in the fifth inning, including three consecutive blasts by Jones, Aaliyah Sebock and Morgan Heard. When Jones’ turn at the plate came around again later in the fifth, she belted a two-run homer after hitting a three-run blast ear-

lier in the inning. She corked a solo homer in the third that gave Carl Albert a 6-1 lead. “That’s something you tell your grandkids about,” Carl Albert head Colin White said of Jones, who was hitting in the No. 9 hole for the Titans. “She’s got something to be proud of.” The Titans, who had rallied from early deficits

in their first two state tournament wins, seemingly were going to cruise to victory in the state title game. They bolted to an early five-run lead with the help of Molly Davison’s two-run homer in the first. But Tahlequah batted around in the bottom of the third, scoring six times to take a 7-6 lead and chasing Carl Albert soph-

omore starting pitcher Abby Meador. The inning didn’t end until Sebock threw out a Tiger runner at the plate from center field for the final out. All but one of the Tahlequah runs in the frame were unearned as a Titan error kept the inning alive. “I guess they were trying to put me into cardiac arrest or something,” White said. “I knew they could score, but I wasn’t expecting that blow up. But I also knew we were still probably going to be able to score.” However, White didn’t expect 10 more runs and all in the same inning. After not scoring in the fourth, the Titan bats came alive again in the fifth as Carl Albert sent 14 hitters to the plate. In addition to Jones’ two home runs, Krista Waggoner doubled and singled in the inning and Ashley Jones scored twice. Jones then retired the Tigers in order in the bottom of the fifth to end the game on the 10-run rule. “I was more nervous (pitching the fifth inning),” Jones said. “I didn’t want to blow that lead. It was a great way to end the season.”

Romo, be like Brady DALLAS | QUARTERBACK HAS BEEN MORE LIKE FAVRE IN INCONSISTENT START TO SEASON BY RICK GOSSELIN The Dallas Morning News

DALLAS AT NEW ENGLAND

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. —

Tony Romo knows how to win football games. He also has mastered the craft of losing them. The Cowboys tote a 2-2 record to New England on Sunday to take on the Patriots. Almost singlehandedly, Romo has manufactured all of the victories and defeats. Romo completed crucial throws at the ends of games that delivered the victories over San Francisco and Washington. He also made the critical fourth-quarter errors that sent the Cowboys down to defeat against the Jets and Detroit Lions. Romo grew up in Wisconsin idolizing Brett Favre. Maybe it’s time he starts paying closer attention to Tom Brady. Romo learned from the gunslinger Favre that big plays can win games. If he studies Brady on Sunday, he’ll discover the importance of error-free football in a victorious equation. Counting playoffs, Brady has started 168 games for the Patriots. He has played turnover-free football in 43.4 percent of them. In those 73 games Brady has not given the ball away — no fumbles, no interceptions — the Patriots are 68-5. That’s a winning percentage of 93.1. Brady has a grasp of the obvious — if he doesn’t make mistakes, the Patriots are darn near unbeatable. So he protects the football. That’s why Brady has hoisted three Lombardi Trophies and constructed the best winning percentage of any quarterback in the game’s modern era

at 77.2. NFL quarterbacks are bestowed those $100 million contracts to win games, not lose them. Sure it’s about making good plays — but it’s also about avoiding the bad ones. An NFL team averages 11-12 possessions per game. Each turnover ends a possession, thus reducing a team’s chances of both scoring and winning. It also can put your defense in the perilous position of having to defend a short field. Late Romo interceptions set up both the Jets and Lions on the Dallas half of the field for their game-winning scoring drives. Drew Brees and Peyton Manning join Brady in the NFL’s penthouse of quarterbacks. Brees has played

turnover-free football in 39.1 percent of his 148 career starts, and Manning has played mistake-free in 38.3 percent of his 227 starts. Brees is 47-11 in games he has not given the ball away, and Manning is 7017. Brees wins 81.0 percent of the time he doesn’t commit a turnover, and Manning wins 80.4 percent of the time. Philip Rivers and Romo both became NFL starters in 2006. Rivers has played turnover-free in 35.5 percent of his 90 career starts, winning 28 of those 32 games. That’s a winning percentage of 87.5 when he plays without mistakes. Romo, on the other hand, has committed a turnover in 72.5 percent of his 69 career starts. The

celebrity quarterback has played only 19 mistakefree games in his career and won just 12 of them. Rivers takes better care of the football than Romo, which helps explain why his San Diego Chargers have four division titles and a trip to an AFC title game to show for the last five seasons. Romo has two division titles and just one playoff victory to show for his gunslinger swagger. He talks about learning from his mistakes. But he doesn’t. That’s what’s so annoying — his repetitious behavior. Against the Jets, Romo made two critical mistakes in the game’s final 10 minutes, losing a fumble at the New York goal line and then throwing an interception. His turnovers allowed the Jets to rally from 14-point fourth-quarter deficit for the victory. “It’s hard to swallow knowing that we lost this game because of me,” Romo said after the Jets loss. “We were in a position to win the football game, and I made the mistake that cost us. That’s why we lost.”

Rams brace for treacherous times BY JIM THOMAS St. Louis Post-Dispatch

ST. LOUIS AT GREEN BAY

ST. LOUIS — So Steve Spagnuolo, you’ve just lost your seventh cornerback of the season to the injured reserve list (and No. 3 out of your top four). You’re about to face the NFL’s No. 4-ranked pass offense (Green Bay), followed by No. 3 (Dallas), and then No. 2 (New Orleans). Aaron Rodgers, Tony Romo, Drew Brees. Back to back to back. Other than Tom Brady and New England’s top-ranked passing offense, this is a tour of THE elite aerialists in the Year of the Forward Pass. Your thoughts? “I needed to know that, huh?” Spagnuolo joked. “You needed to give me that, huh? The thoughts are go out there and play. Go out there, battle, compete. That’s what you have to do. We’ll make some adjustments along the way

I When: Noon Sunday. I Where: Lambeau Field, Green Bay, Wisc. I TV: Fox (KOKH-25, Cox 12/HD 712, UVerse 25/ HD 1025, Dish 25, DirecTV 25). I Radio: KREF-AM 1400.

scheme-wise, but guys gotta go out there and play.” The gauntlet begins Sunday at Lambeau Field when the Rams (0-4) take on the Packers (5-0) in a noon kickoff. You might get an argument from New England or New Orleans, but this Packers team may be the closest thing to the “Greatest Show on Turf” since the days of Warner, Faulk, Bruce, Holt and company a decade ago. OK, the Packers don’t have anything like Marshall Faulk in their backfield. But with apologies to Roland Williams and Ernie Conwell, the Rams didn’t have anything like Jermi-

chael Finley at tight end, either. What both teams had or have, in spades: Multiple options in the passing game. Defenses, even defenses with topflight secondaries, simply can’t cover them all. Spagnuolo watched on television only bits and pieces of the second half of Green Bay’s 25-14 victory at Atlanta last Sunday night “But I remember at one point (the announcer) saying, ‘that’s the 11th different receiver,’ and then it was the 12th,” Spagnuolo said. Rodgers completed at least one pass to 12 different receivers in that game,

tying a Green Bay franchise record. As was the case with Kurt Warner and the Rams way back when, if you’re a Packers receiver and you’re open, you better have your head turned and be ready for the ball. Because Rodgers will get it there. Back at wide receiver, Jordy Nelson is a big, long strider. James Jones will drop a pass or two, but has big-play potential and is coming off a breakout game (five catches, 140 yards) against Atlanta. Veteran Donald Driver is slowing some and his playing time has dipped, but remains tough in the slot. That leaves electrifying rookie Randall Cobb as the No. 5 wide receiver! “They’re scary good,” Spagnuolo said. This looks like a mismatch of epic proportions, and the Packers have to feel that they can exploit the Rams’ secondary.

NFL NOTEBOOK

3 Colts players staying home for Bengals game Three Colts players will not travel to Cincinnati for Sunday’s game. Running back Joseph Addai, left tackle Anthony Castonzo and defensive tackle Drake Nevis will stay in Indianapolis, the team says. Addai left last week’s game in the first quarter after hurting his hamstring. Castonzo missed last week’s game with a sprained ankle. Nevis has been battling a back injury. When Addai went out last week, rookie Delone Carter got more playing time. Indy could also use

Joseph Addai Indy running back

Shawne Merriman Buffalo linebacker

Donald Brown, its firstround pick in 2009, more. The Colts also have announced that Tom Zupancic, senior vice president of sales and marketing, has retired. Zupancic first joined Indy as a parttime strength coach in 1984.

MERRIMAN OUT FOR GIANTS GAME Buffalo Bills starting outside linebacker Shawne Merriman won’t play in Sunday’s game at the New York Giants because of an Achilles tendon injury. Merriman’s Achilles

flared up during Thursday’s practice, and he was held out of Friday’s practice altogether. Merriman said Friday he didn’t think the injury was significant. The Bills will have their bye next week, giving him an additional week to heal. Merriman finished last season on injured reserve because of a nagging injury to his right tendon. With both Merriman and Chris Kelsay (calf) out, the Bills will be down to two healthy outside linebackers — Danny Batten and Arthur Moats. Defensive lineman Spencer Johnson will also be available to fill in after working with the outside linebackers on Friday. FROM WIRE REPORTS

WEEK 6 GAMES GAME OF THE WEEK DALLAS at NEW ENGLAND (Line: NE by 7; Cote: NE 37-27) I Chanting protesters have gathered outside Game of the Week committee HQ, incredulous that a deserving 49ers-at-Lions game was passed over for this. You know what, though? Give me America’s Team visiting America’s Quarterback in a shootout that figures to be a punter’s day off. Dallas, coming off a bye, will rush everybody but Jerry Jones to try to disrupt Tom Brady, but that’s a strategy risk against a great, nimble-minded QB with myriad weapons. UPSET OF THE WEEK BUFFALO at N.Y. GIANTS (Line: NYG by 3 1/2; Cote: BUF 28-27) I “AAAWWWK!” bellows the Upset Bird. “New York, New Yaaawwwk!” This Game of the Week contender matches the NFL’s only two red-zone offenses with TD percentages above 70, so the “over” might be a wise wager. I get the point spread here, but Bills have won three of past four trips east to the Apple, and Buffs are simply the better team right now. Bison lead league with 16 takeaways and a plus-11 differential, so Bills don’t beat the Bills. DOG OF THE WEEK ST. LOUIS at GREEN BAY (Line: GB by 15; Cote: GB 45-10) I The Dog panel traditionally prefers anointing a game involving two putrid teams but occasionally — as here — knights a game for its disparity and raging noncompetitiveness. The Pack might sack Sam Bradford 10 times. Aaron Rodgers might throw for 500 yards. The heck of it is, I’m serious. Normally you take any ‘dog getting more than two touchdowns, but there are exceptions to every rule. (Quick aside: Packers are 5-0 for seventh time and won championships each of the first six times). SAN FRANCISCO at DETROIT (Line: DET by 4 1/2; Cote: DET 24-20) I King Sport revels in its unpredictability, and this game is one of the reasons the NFL loves itself: two teams a combined 9-1 after being 1-9 at this point last year. Niners are the real deal, should keep it close and have an outright upset shot — especially because Motown spent a lot of emotion beating Bears at home Monday night. There is a letdown factor at play. But I’m on the Lions’ bandwagon, and it’s rolling too fast to jump off. CAROLINA at ATLANTA (Line: ATL by 4; Cote: ATL 30-27) I Carolina spent a ton of emotion at home last week nearly upsetting the Saints, its most hated rival, in a very physical game. It won’t match that same level on the road this week against a Falcons squad that has won four of past five in series. INDIANAPOLIS at CINCINNATI (Line: CIN by 7; Cote: CIN 24-20) I Colts have won seven in a row in this series, but Peyton Manning’s absence renders such trends meaningless. Indy has been competitive in each of its past four losses, though, and all three Cincy wins have required second-half rallies, so this one might not be easy for the homies. JACKSONVILLE at PITTSBURGH (Line: PIT by 12; Cote: PIT 21-13) I Pittsburgh is a very good home team (26-8 Three River’ing under Mike Tomlin), and yet Jacksonville somehow has won three consecutive games at The Ketchup Bottle. PHILADELPHIA at WASHINGTON (Line: PHI by 1; Cote: WAS 19-17) I As much as I find it hard to imagine five consecutive Philly losses, I like ’Skins at home and coming off a bye — especially with a super-fired-up Washington defense out to avenge the way Michael Vick embarrassed it in the previous meeting last year. HOUSTON at BALTIMORE (Line: BAL by 7 1/2; Cote: BAL 28-17) I Baltimore is 4-0 in this all-time series, is on a 12-1 streak at home and is on an 8-1 run coming off byes, including 3-0 under John Harbaugh. Crows also have the run defense to neutralize Texans’ strength. CLEVELAND at OAKLAND (Line: OAK by 6 1/2; Cote: OAK 31-13) I Oakland had emotional upset win in Houston last week in wake of death of club owner Al Davis, and could face a letdown here — even at home and with a ceremony honoring Davis promising more emotion. NEW ORLEANS at TAMPA BAY (Line: NO by 4 1/2; Cote: NO 27-20) I Tampa can expect a bounce-back effort at home after being embarrassed 48-3 in San Fran last week, and Bucs have won three of past five vs. N’Aawlins. Oddly, though, the visitor has won four in a row in this series, and that trend should continue. MINNESOTA at CHICAGO (Line: CHI by 3; Cote: MIN 27-23) I Yeah, Chicago has won three in a row in this series. No, I’m not a big Vikes-on-the-road fan. But if Jahvid Best can shred this Chitown run defense, so will Adrian Peterson. And the way that shambles of a Bears O-line protects Jay Cutler, the grin surely hasn’t left Jared Allen’s face all week. MIAMI at N.Y. JETS (Line: NYJ by 7; Cote: NYJ 24-20) I ESPN and the Monday night stage welcome you to the Week 6 Desperation Bowl! Whose well of calamity is deeper: The winless team with the backup quarterback and the coach on the firing line? Or the blowhard team that was talking Super Bowl but has been rocked by three consecutive humbling defeats? Tough call. Dolphins have won three consecutive trips to the Jersey swamp and, coming off a bye, are a strong bet to stay inside a betting line inflated by New Yorkers’ characteristic overestimation of self. OFF THIS WEEK I Denver (1-4; next at Miami); Arizona (1-4; next vs. Pittsburgh); Kansas City (2-3; next at Oakland); Seattle (2-3; next at Cleveland); Tennessee (3-2; next vs. Houston) BY GREG COTE, THE MIAMI HERALD

Soucek: Adjusting to school, culture FROM PAGE 9B

“The stuff I had to do with the NCAA, then to get the visa, it was a long time,” said Soucek, who hails from Brno, the second-largest city in the Czech Republic. “I always think, ‘Next week I go.’ Then it was the next week. And the next week. That is the hardest thing.” OSU isn’t new to bringing in international athletes, with nine different programs featuring at least one athlete from another country, led by the 10 lining the rosters of track and field and women’s cross country. Overall, 32 athletes on OSU teams — 8 percent of all athletes — hail from other countries. What made Soucek’s arrival so different was timing. Since 9/11, the process for bringing international students to the U.S. has become more complicated. Before attaining a nonimmigrant visa, an international student must first be granted an I-20 form, which is a certificate of eligibility issued by the Department of Homeland Security. Beyond those hurdles, gaining clearance from the NCAA requires a few extra steps, with the high school graduation standards varying from country to country. With ample time to jump through all the hoops, the process isn’t so much difficult as it is detailed and deliberate. But the Cowboys’ interest in Soucek didn’t spark until late, when Travis Ford and his coaches found themselves in need of a big man and heard about this 7-footer with shooting skills and more. Although OSU coaches never met him or saw him play in person, they saw enough on film and heard enough from others to offer a scholarship in late spring. Soucek, who also had interest from Maryland, Gonzaga, Washington and others, considered it a fit and accepted, putting the process in motion. “My high school coach spoke to me that they want me here,” Soucek said. “They are looking for a player exactly like me. They show me a picture of beautiful locker room.

First, it was like, ‘Cool.’ Then it was, ‘OK, locker room is nice, but it’s not the first thing you look for.’ “So I spoke with Coach Ford and the other coaches. I feel like they’re good people.” And that was that. Sort of. “Any time you’re dealing with bureaucracy and you’re dealing with country to country, it takes a lot longer,” said Marilyn Middlebrook, OSU’s associate athletic director for academic services. “We had a late start on Marek.” Initially, the goal was to get Soucek in Stillwater in time for summer school in early June. Dealing with the NCAA proved to be more bureaucracy. “First they want my final graduate from high school papers,” Soucek said. “Sent it, took three weeks. Then they asked for more papers. Two more weeks. They keep asking me for more, more things. “I must take them, translate, send it.” Soon, the arrival goal slid to the start of school, Aug. 22. “Then it looked like they weren’t going to be done,” Soucek said. “What am I going to do, because I was just looking at going here?” School started without Soucek in the country, let alone at OSU. “We did not want to bring him over here until we knew he was eligible and ready to go,” Ford said. “And time was ticking on us.” With OSU’s first week of school coming to a close, Soucek got some good news. The NCAA finished its work and his I-20 form arrived in the mail. Still, there was work to do on his part, mainly setting up an appointment at the U.S. Embassy in Prague to clear the way for his visa. Soon, he was on his way to Stillwater. And, yes, it was a culture shock. “When you don’t have a car, you don’t have a chance to see much,” Soucek said. “From what I can see, it’s way different from the cities in Europe. There’s no center. The buildings they have are straight rows. One shop and a lot of parking spots.

Another shop …” Still, Soucek said he’s happy to be here, with a chance to play basketball, yes, but also to get an education, an opportunity that isn’t so readily available in other countries. So despite all those miles between him and family back in the Czech Republic, Soucek said he doesn’t find himself longing for home. “I think when you are 21 years old, you can stay alone and you don’t need to see your mom every day,” he said. “I don’t feel like, ‘Oh, I miss home. I’m lonely.’ Sometimes I do, but it’s not a big thing.” Middlebrook said that’s actually the norm with students from abroad. “American kids don’t appreciate what they have,” Middlebrook said. “They don’t appreciate that they’re here and they have school. The kids who come from other countries don’t always get those other opportunities. It’s a select group that gets to go to college. “These kids might be in the group that can’t go to college and would have to do something else. So when they get a chance to come here to college, they just excel. “We have very little trouble with our international students.” Soucek maintains regular contact with his parents and 13-year-old brother Martin via Skype. Before leaving Brno, he bought his grandparents a computer, so they could keep in touch, too. Soucek’s major issues are simply adjusting — to the culture, to the food, to school and to basketball. Not that he didn’t arrive with impressions and expectations. “You can see a lot of things from movies, because all movies are from States,” Soucek said. “Now I can see, just in movies all my life, it’s really like this. Cars look like this. “In Europe, everyone’s listening to U.S. music. Even singers in Europe are singing in English. A lot of my teammates are listening to hip hop, rap. I don’t like it as much. “I don’t understand anything they are saying. Even if I understand, I don’t understand what this means in context with

what they’re saying.” The basketball is different, too. “In the States you play a lot of one-on-one,” Soucek said. “In Europe it’s more team. I don’t want to say over here it’s not team sport, I think in Europe they pass more. I didn’t see much U.S. basketball. Everybody was asking me if I watch much NBA. I don’t have much chance to in Europe.” Soucek said he’ll bring some of that European style to the Cowboys. A skilled big man, he can shoot from the perimeter, uses his left and right hands equally well and considers passing his strength. “I like to pass the ball,” he said. “I like high-low situations. When I make great pass, and my teammates score, I feel more happy than when I make shots, because first I’m happy for a nice pass, then happy because we score.” Soucek’s place on this year’s team is still to be determined. In many ways, he’s still finding his way. Before arriving at OSU, he’d never worked much with weights and never done any strength training on his legs. At 235 pounds, Soucek needs to better fill out his 7-foot frame to survive with Big 12 big men. Still, his talents are intriguing enough that Ford won’t rule out including him in what figures to be a deep rotation. “A legit 7-foot, very skilled,” Ford said. “He has a great understanding of the game. Great attitude. He just has to get stronger at this point. “But by the time he’s done here, he’s going to be a really good player here. He has a great feel for the game, can really shoot it and is very eager to learn. He’s just got to get stronger.” Whenever his time comes, Soucek envisions how fun it will be. He’s mostly played in small gyms before small crowds. Peering around Gallagher-Iba Arena, even empty, he seemed in awe. “I can imagine,” Soucek said. “It’s going to be crazy. I’m looking forward to playing in front of 13,000 people.”

At approximately 7 p.m., fans can meet Kruger and the players and collect autographs during an informal 30-minute meet-and-greet session. Sponsored by Arvest Bank, the event is free to the public. The first 1,000 fans in attendance will receive a Hoops Jam T-shirt and team poster. Doors open at 5 p.m. BY MIKE BALDWIN

OSU RECRUITING NOTEBOOK

Broken Arrow’s Zac Veatch a versatile athlete

Barnett failed to qualify academically for Arkansas, so he went to the Corsicana, Texas, junior college. Barnett told Rivals.com that his relationship with defensive coordinator Bill Young played a role in his decision. “I’ve felt that Coach Young is a good man and has always been from all the way to my senior year when I was committed to them, so we’ve always had a good relationship,” Barnett told the website. One thing that might worry Cowboy fans, though, is that Barnett also told Rivals that he might take a few more official visits to other places, although he remains “100 percent” committed to OSU.

Oklahoma State got a versatile athlete that can play a number of positions when Broken Arrow’s Zac Veatch committed. Veatch, who plays tight end and defensive end for the Tigers, committed to OSU on Sept. 28. Veatch said the intention right now is for him to play tight end as a freshman, but that he could be moved to another position, including center. “He’s 6-4, he’s about 255 right now, and he can move,” Broken Arrow coach Steve Spavital said. “I like their thinking on that. He’s really a pretty versatile athlete. “He’s got that ability to play anywhere. ... I’m very proud. (OSU is) my alma mater.”

SANDERS LEADS HIS TEAM TO ANOTHER WIN Kendall Sanders, a fourstar athlete who committed to OSU in February, rushed for 200 yards as his Athens (Texas) team improved to 5-2 with a 42-21 win at Bullard on Friday. Sanders ran for touchdowns of 99 and 10 yards in the win. With the two touchdowns, Sanders now has 20 on the season. He needs just four more to tie his own school record, which he set last season.

BARNETT COMMITTED TO OSU AGAIN Oklahoma State picked up a commitment from a familiar name last week. Former Tulsa Washington standout Calvin Barnett, a three-star defensive tackle currently playing at Navarro College, was committed to the Cowboys out of high school until a signing day switch to Arkansas.

win over Lindbergh.

STRIKER LEADS ARMWOOD TO ROUT

Green-Beckham had five catches for 116 yards and two touchdowns in the 49-0 Hillcrest win, according to Missourinet.com. The yardage pulled GreenBeckham to within 253 yards of the national record. Saturday, Green-Beckham was reportedly at Missouri’s homecoming game against Iowa State. A week earlier, GreenBeckham earned U.S. Army All-American Bowl High School Player of the Week honors after racking up 354 yards and three touchdowns on 13 catches, and also rushing for a score in a win over Rolla.

Eric Striker, the lone linebacker committed to the Sooners, helped Seffner (Fla.) Armwood to an 80-0 rout of Strawberry Crest on Friday night to keep his team undefeated. Striker had a 50-yard fumble return for a touchdown in the blowout. Armwood recorded two safeties in the win.

MANUKAINU STRONG FOR TRINITY Sooners defensive end commitment Polo Manukainiu of Euless (Trinity), Texas, continued working his way back from an injury that has limited him through much of the season. Manukainu had a pair of early tackles and forced a fumble in Trinity’s 49-9 rout of Irving Nimitz on Friday night, helping the Trojans remain undefeated.

STATE COLLEGE ROUNDUP

SNU loses again, playoff chances on the line Southern Nazarene might have put its NAIA football playoff chances in jeopardy Saturday afternoon with a 41-17 loss to No. 7-ranked Mid-America Nazarene at Cessna Stadium in Wichita, Kan. SNU (5-2) entered the game No. 15 in the nation. The Crimson Storm had dropped five spots in last week’s rankings after a 28-12 setback Oct. 8 to previously unranked Northwestern Oklahoma State. With back-to-back, doubledigit losses, SNU will likely fall below No. 16 in Monday’s poll. The top-16 teams in the final NAIA poll will qualify for the postseason. Southern Nazarene has four games remaining, and it will likely need to win out and hope some teams above it in the rankings will lose along the way. The Storm received a little help Saturday when No. 23 Northwestern State was upset by Bacone 35-28 in Muskogee. Northwestern State (3-4) will likely drop out of the NAIA’s top 25. Mid-America Nazarene (5-1) had Saturday’s game in hand by halftime, leading 31-10. The Pioneers’ defense held SNU to 275 total yards, which was a welldone day considering the Storm offense rated among the best in the NAIA. Quar-

BRONCHOS LOSE FINAL ROAD GAME Dane Simoneau threw for 338 yards and five touchdowns as No. 5-ranked Wasburn hammered Central Oklahoma 48-3 in an NCAA Division II game in Topeka, Kan.

Central Oklahoma’s last four games of the season are at Wantland Stadium in Edmond, beginning 2 p.m. next Saturday against Fort Hays State (Kan.).

Museum at OU opens Stuart wing to showcase its Adkins Collection BY RICK ROGERS Fine Arts Editor rrogers@opubco.com

NORMAN — Forty years after it opened its doors to the public, the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art is preparing to celebrate a new milestone, the longawaited opening of the Stuart Wing. Named for University of Oklahoma Regent Jon R. Stuart and his wife, Dee Dee, the $13 million wing will add 18,000 square feet to the museum’s exhibition space. A free public opening is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and from noon to 5 p.m. Oct. 23. The Stuart Wing will house the Eugene B. Adkins Collection, one of the nation’s largest displays of Taos, N.M., and American Indian artists. Valued at about $50 million, the Adkins Collection numbers more than 3,300 works, including 400 American Indian paintings as well as pottery, baskets and jewelry. The Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art and Tulsa’s Philbrook Museum of Art are joint stewards of the Adkins Collection. “When Mr. Adkins passed away in 2006, muTop: The new Stuart Wing at the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art in Norman will seum directors around the country expressed open on Saturday. their interest in obtaining the Adkins Collection,” museum director Ghislain d’Humieres said.

City ballet to open season with ‘Coppelia’ ON STAGE “COPPELIA” I When: 8 p.m. Saturday, 2 p.m. Oct. 23. I Where: Civic Center Music Hall, 201 N Walker. I Information: 848-8637 or www.okcballet. com

BY RICK ROGERS Fine Arts Editor rrogers@opubco.com

During his relatively brief career, German author, composer, critic and jurist E.T.A. Hoffmann (1776-1822) penned stories that would subsequently provide inspiration for such influential productions as Offenbach’s opera “The Tales of Hoffmann” and Tchaikovsky’s ballet “The Nutcracker.” He also provided the narrative for “Coppelia,” the tale of an inventor who creates a life-size dancing doll.

Based on Hoffmann’s stories “The Sandman” and “The Doll,” “Coppelia,” which features a masterful score by Leo Delibes, had its premiere in Paris on May 25, 1870. “Coppelia,” which opens Oklahoma City Ballet’s 2011-12 season this week, focuses on Franz, a male suitor who becomes so infatuated with Dr. Coppelius’ doll that he ignores his true love, Swanhilda. She shows him the error of his ways by dressing as the doll and pretending to come to life. In the grand tradition of 19th SEE BALLET, PAGE 4D

Carpenter Square Theatre continues its 2011-12 season with a production of “Dark Matters.” Roberto AguirreSacasa’s thriller focuses on Bridget Cleary, a wife and mother who tells her family she’s researching UFOs for a book she’s writing. When she disappears, the family wonders if there’s some connection to her research. Performances are at the theater’s new location at 800 W Main. Curtain times are at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays through Nov. 5. Thursday performances begin at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 27 and Nov. 3. One 2 p.m. matinee is scheduled Oct. 30.

Museum: Artworks will be shared FROM PAGE 1D

As part of the joint stewardship, the Fred Jones Museum will have about 70 percent of the collection’s Western American art, while the Philbrook will have 70 percent of the American Indian art. The remaining 30 percent of each area will go to the opposite museum. Considering the size of the Adkins Collection, d’Humieres and his Philbrook counterpart (Rand Suffolk) discussed the possibility that some works might not be of museum quality. To their surprise, there was not a single piece that fit into that category. “Mr. Adkins was able to pick up the best of the best,” d’Humieres said. “His eye was unbelievable. He was a grand collector who went to auctions looking for the finest work. His collection was his life.”

Specific dates and guest speakers are listed on the museum’s website calendar at www.ou.edu/fjjma.

Benefits of space The renovation of the existing space and the addition of the Stuart Wing will bring the museum’s exhibition space to 40,000 square feet. That added space will allow the museum to exhibit several collections acquired within the past 15 years. On

view in the Stuart Wing’s new photography gallery is “No Heaven Awaits Us: Contemporary Chinese Photography and Video.” As part of the expansion, the Fred Jones Museum also will feature what it calls a visible storage area. Pieces of art that

normally would be placed in storage will be housed in an area that will allow visitors to see a larger percentage of the collection. “We have a lot of art that is not exhibited on public display, and thanks to our new visible storage area, visitors will be able to see

examples of ceramics, sculptures, baskets and kachinas,” d’Humieres said. “People will be able to look through this (glassed-in) area and see students from the School of Art, a reminder that we are not just a museum but a teaching institution.”

Ballet: Choreography was researched FROM PAGE 1D

century Romantic ballet, Franz and Swanhilda ultimately wed. While “Coppelia” has been presented in many versions during its 141-year history, Robert Mills, the ballet company’s artistic director, opted for a traditional production that hews closely to the original choreography by Arthur Saint-Leon. Mills and Jacob Sparso are sharing choreographic duties. “When you’re choreographing a new work, the sky’s the limit because it’s completely open to interpretation,” Mills said. “With a classic like ‘Coppelia,’ you have to decide how true to the original you want to be. “We researched the original choreography, and we’re using as much of that as we could find intact. Jacob and I are put-

ting our own version on it by paying homage to how the original production’s dances would have looked stylistically.” Regardless of the production, every choreographer faces the challenge of getting his dancers to convey the ballet’s story line as efficiently and as convincingly as possible. To achieve that, Mills and Sparso devoted considerable rehearsal time to help the dancers with their characterizations. “There are so many aspects of what has to be done in terms of the art,” Mills said. “If there’s a story to be told, it’s important to act it. You’re concentrating on every move your body makes. If you’re a male dancer, you’re concentrating on your partner’s needs. You have to be comfortable with every move you make so that the story gets past the orches-

HOROSCOPE I ARIES (March 21-April 19): You’ll easily match your energy to those around you. It’s not only good manners; it’s also economical for you to do so. I TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your tasks are set before you. The only trouble is that you’re not particularly looking forward to any of them. I GEMINI (May 21-June 21): You have the best kind of power. It comes from a deep place in the core of who you are. You don’t have to worry about protecting it. I CANCER (June 22-July 22): There’s a kind of bottleneck in your life. People are restricting your energy flow because they are trying to direct it in the way that best suits them, not you. Stand up for yourself. I LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ve been circulating in interesting ways — ways that will be helpful to others, not just you. You will speak plainly and directly and others will be all ears. I VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In the beginning, it is said, was the word. Today you will feel the power of words, especially the ones you choose to say. You will also feel the power of the words you hold back. I LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): As you promote your interests, you are promoting yourself, as well. People like that you present things with such enthusiasm. I SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): No one wants to be around a person who brings up his or her insecurities. Stick with those who treat their fellows with respect and dignity. I SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll be considered for a project. You would do a tremendous job in the role, but you need some guidance about how to best present yourself. I CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your future is calling you. The thing is, you’re still on the line with the past. Hang up the phone. I AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll be torn between tactics. Should you try to fit in with the culture around you, or should you exert an independent spirit? I PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You feel you have to keep going in the direction you are going. You relate to those in similar circumstances. CREATORS SYNDICATE

tra pit into the audience.” In addition to his choreographic duties, Mills is making a rare stage appearance as the doll maker in this production of “Coppelia.” It’s a character role which means there is no dancing involved. Playing the eccentric doll maker also gives Mills a chance to try out his comedic skills. While “Coppelia” deserves its status as a classical ballet, it’s particularly noteworthy for its humorous elements. The characters in “Coppelia” believe Coppelius’ doll is real because its movements are so lifelike.

That’s a scenario that bears more than a few similarities to “Pinocchio.” “Mistaken identity is classic comedy,” Mills said. “When Swanhilda breaks into the doll maker’s closet, puts the doll’s dress on and sits in her chair, she knows what’s going on but the others don’t. “Think of all the romantic comedies that come out of Hollywood. The ideas of mistaken identity and (misplaced) jealousy still work, much like the situations in this 1870 ballet remain relevant today. ‘Coppelia’ is ballet’s greatest comedy.”

BACKSTAGE

You might think a rural Kansas community with a population of 3,000 would have little to offer when it comes to the performing arts. But Lindsborg is no ordinary community. When Mark Lucas was growing up there, he saw a production of “The Nutcracker,” caught the Vienna Boys Choir in concert and heard operatic bass Samuel Ramey in recital. “Lindsborg has produced more musicians, performers and teachers than any other town that size you could imagine,” said Lucas, a choral music faculty member at the University of Oklahoma. “Lindsborg has always been very supportive of the arts.” As a high school student, Lucas participated in choir, band and orchestra. More impressive is that he excelled at all three. Lucas performed in the Kansas All-State Band as a sophomore, All-State Choir as a junior and All-State Orchestra as a senior. He also played the lead in productions of “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” and “Carousel.” “During my junior year, I had a life-altering experience when Eph Ehly conducted the All-State Choir,” Lucas said. “Ehly helped you connect with the emotional part of the music, something that’s not quantifiable. I got the feeling that this was special and it was something I could do well. After that weekend, I wanted to be a choral director.” After earning his bachelor’s degree, Lucas taught three years in Marion, Kan. and later spent four years

on the faculty of Kansas Wesleyan University. He’s now in his seventh year at OU where he conducts the University Singers, coconducts the Singing Sooners, teaches choral conducting and choral methods. With colleagues Richard Zielinski and John Schwandt, Lucas and the OU choirs will join the McFarlin United Methodist Church chancel choir week for a 7 p.m. “Hymn Festival” Thursday at the church, 419 S University. The concert will feature spoken reflections and hymn settings. Although the bulk of his teaching takes place at the college level, Lucas has become a specialist in the area of younger choirs, particularly in regard to the adolescent changing voice. His dissertation topic was “Adolescent Males’ Motivations to Enroll or Not Enroll in Choir.” Lucas discovered that young men are likely to enroll in choir if they like to sing and feel they’re good at it. In contrast, those who don’t like to sing or don’t think of themselves as good singers generally opt for other electives. Lucas wondered if he could change that mindset. Five years ago, he established the Young Men’s Vocal Workshop, a program that provides a positive experience for young men hoping to become

successful singers. Participants get a T-shirt that states “Real Men Sing.” “The first year, I would have been happy if we got 50 kids in the unchanged voice choir and 50 in the changed voice choir,” Lucas said. “To my surprise, 600 kids showed up. If guys get jazzed from an experience like this, they’re going to stay in choir.” As I watched Lucas rehearse his collegiate singers, it was obvious that he sought similar goals. The students were very responsive to his demands, all of which were delivered in a positive and encouraging fashion. The dynamic created was one of mutual respect. “The students I have in the University Singers are mostly freshmen and sophomores which means they’re often in a transitional phase,” Lucas said. “It’s a nice group to work with and I’ve found that when you ask them to do something, they respond very well. I often tell them that the difference between good and great or great and outstanding is the attention to details. “More importantly, I try to get my students to do two things in life, regardless of the career path they choose: do great work and treat people well. If you do these things, you’re going to be successful and you’re going to be happy. I wouldn’t trade my career for anything.”

OU staging rarely heard Claudio Monteverdi opera NORMAN — One way to describe “The Coronation of Poppea” would be as a beautiful exercise in irony, in which power, youthful passion and ambition triumph over virtue, with a little help from the goddess of love. Beautiful costumes, Claudio Monteverdi’s beautiful music and mood enhancing projections made up for the minimal set of the early baroque opera staged at the University of Oklahoma. Also projected on screens was the English text of Giovanni Francesco Busenello’s spare yet poetically charged libretto, making the steamy plot easy to follow. Augusta Caso was beautiful and statuesque, sultry, self-serving, manipulative, fearless and ultimately regal in the title role of the wannabe empress, making it easy to see why Nero would fall for her. Teddy Crecelius played Nero as more of a romantic hero than a terrible tyrant, willful but indecisive as he rebels against his old teacher, and corrupted by his absolute power, but not entirely, quite yet. Singing and performing their suggestive, R-rated love scenes beautifully, with just the right amount of restraint, Caso and Crecelius alternate in the roles with Madeline Schaefer and Jonathan Murphy. Rounding out the love quadrangle nicely were Alexander Krenz as Ottone and Lydia Gray as Drusilla, roles they will alternate with Joseph Ruelle and Kelli Tucci. Krenz brought the right angry, downbeat demeanor to Ottone, who still loves his former flame, Poppea, but transfers his affections to his true blue co-conspirator, well played by Gray. Tatiana Ogan was not only regal, but patrician, truly noble and touching, with

the right hint of jealousy and smoldering anger, as Nero’s soon to be discarded and banished wife Ottavia. Anthony Eversole brought a powerful voice and stoic demeanor to Seneca, who speaks reason to power, then accepts the consequences, killing himself in a moving death scene over the protests of his followers. Ogan and Eversole alternate in the crucial roles with Nicole Robertson and William Browning. Nearly stealing the show, however, was Suzanne Stanley, as the goddess of love, who delights in messing up mortals with her quirky bow and love darts, wearing a kind of ancient Roman Mohawk haircut. Directed by William Ferrara, with a small, on-stage band conducted by artistic director Jonathan Shames, the OU production made time seem to fly, despite its over two hours running time. Meaning something different to Italians in 1643 than it does to us, but still a “crowdpleaser,” as program notes point out, OU’s “Poppea” is highly recommended and shouldn’t be missed. — John Brandenburg

World War I series brings Sister Bess home to London MYSTERY | CHRISTMAS LEAVE PROVES DANGEROUS TO NURSE Charles Todd’s third World War I mystery about nurse Bess Crawford, “A Bitter Truth” (HarperCollins, $24.99) begins by placing her in great personal danger when she returns to London to enjoy her Christmas leave from the battlefields of France. When she arrives at her apartment about 10:30 p.m., she finds a woman huddled near her front door, a stranger who has been beaten severely. In an effort to entice the woman to enter her apartment and

get out of the cold, Bess introduces herself to the woman as “a nursing sister just returned from France.” The woman doesn’t even want to share her name but says Sister Bess can call her Lydia, her mother’s name. Lydia admits her husband beat her, and Bess recognizes physical symptoms that concern her. Nevertheless, Lydia decides she must go back home and make her apologies to him. But she asks a big favor of Bess. Would she go with her? With

many misgivings, Bess agrees. When they arrive, she discovers they are just in time to attend the funeral of a family member. A short time after the funeral service, a houseguest who had come for the funeral was found murdered. Who could be one of the most likely suspects? Bess, of course. Before Bess is found innocent and free to leave, two more murdered bodies are discovered. She didn’t commit any murders, of

course, but surely someone in Lydia’s family did. — Melba Lovelace

State offers pumpkin picking, hayrides BY LINDSAY VIDRINE

Fall may equate to football in Oklahoma, but it’s also the season when pumpkin patches and corn mazes sprout up across the state. These fun, family-friendly activities are a great way to create memories while enjoying the cooler weather. Oklahoma’s Agritourism program is bursting with attractions this time of year, including picking pumpkins off the vine, exploring corn mazes and attending festivals and haunted hayrides. At P Bar Farms in Weatherford, visitors can get lost in one of Oklahoma’s oldest corn mazes. This year’s design celebrates the local food movement with an intricate maze design that includes more than 3.5 miles of twists, turns and 95 decision points. While the correct route can be completed in 20 minutes, most people will need an hour to complete the two-part maze. Be prepared for a full day of

TG Farms’ pumpkin patch is in Newcastle.

fun and farmyard exploration with a visit to P Bar’s U-pick Pumpkin Patch, a game of laser tag or a visit to the petting farm. A haunted maze is available on October weekends for safe and scary Halloween fun. The haunted maze begins after dark. Celebrate the magic of autumn with a trip to the Reding Farm Maize in Chickasha and

enjoy more than 40 acres of cornfield mazes. This year’s theme is “The Chisholm Trail.” Known as the largest maze of its kind in Oklahoma, the Reding Farm Maize will have visitors trying to search for their way out as they twist and turn amid the corn stalks. Visitors to this annual event also will enjoy hay rides, a

pumpkin patch, a large sandbox and petting zoo with goats, chickens and rabbits. Sit around drinking hot chocolate and making s’mores by the campfire or try your hand at shooting corn and pumpkins from the farm’s popular corn cannon. A children’s tractor train is available for trips around the maze and farm, and there is a country store. An outdoor wine garden and haunted maze, known as Harvest of Fear, are just a few of the special weekend events taking place at the farm. It’s always nice to watch children learn that pumpkins grow on a vine and don’t come from a bin at the grocery store. Oklahoma pumpkin patches combine teachable moments with memorable fun for the whole family. For pumpkin picking, Woodbine Farms Pumpkin Patch in Ardmore is just the place. It is set on a real farm, surrounded by beautiful trees and nature. This pumpkin patch offers activities

geared for children that include protected hayrides, petting and feeding of farm animals, pumpkin picking, a corn cob cannon, rope maze and sand mountain. Make s’mores, witness duck races or learn to milk a cow on a fiberglass replica. Woodbine Farms is a great place to take pictures and it provides fun for the entire family. TG Farms in Newcastle is another pumpkin patch favorite. Activities include a huge corn maze, small hay maze and a large round bale maze along with hay rides, a U-pick pumpkin patch, farm animals and a fish pond. For more details on these and other fall attractions, go online to Agritourism.TravelOK.com. You can also order the free Oklahoma Land Bounty brochure which maps out locations for everything from pumpkin patches to corn mazes.

BILLY GRAHAM

Family scheme kept woman away from mother’s funeral DEAR ABBY: My mother’s family has never been close-knit, but what they did to her was despicable. My grandmother died recently, and not one person in the family called Mom to notify her. We saw it in our local paper. No funeral details were mentioned, so we called the mortuary repeatedly only to be told arrangements were “still pending.” Mother tried to contact her sister but got no response. She called her brother four times. He told her the same thing: the arrangements were pending. Two days later, Mom heard from another relative that her mother had been buried in a private ceremony with only immediate family. Mother called her brother again and was told it wasn’t true — the arrangements were still pending. The next day, Mom and I went to the cemetery to see whether the rumor was true. Imagine our sadness when we found my grandmother’s grave. Mom was heartbroken that she wasn’t able to pay her respects to her own mother. We went to my uncle to break the news to him, thinking he didn’t know, and were shocked when he admitted he had known all along about the arrangements, but that Mother’s older sister had instructed him to share no information with Mother. He said his “hands were tied” because she made him promise not to divulge any de-

tails to us. Abby, please tell your readers that no matter how dysfunctional family ties may be, everyone should be able to pay last respects to their own parent. And funeral homes should have the decency to tell callers that funeral arrangements are private rather than lying about it. Brenda in Texas DEAR BRENDA: Re-

gardless of what caused the falling out with her siblings, their behavior was brutal. They have made it plain that she should keep her distance, and for her own sake I hope she will. It is obvious who “runs” that family, and further contact will cause your mother only more pain and frustration. Sometimes people have to build their own family, and that’s what I recommend you do. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby. com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069. To order “How to Write Letters for All Occasions,” send a business-size, self-addressed envelope plus check or money order for $6 to Dear Abby — Letter Booklet, P.O.

DEAR DR. GRAHAM: My friend says she’s given her life to Jesus. But she doesn’t see anything wrong with doing drugs, and I wonder if she’s just fooling herself. How should I react? C.G. DEAR C.G.: Only God knows your friend’s heart and whether she has sincerely given her life to Jesus Christ. We’re to be wise and discerning, but we mustn’t be harsh or judgmental. Jesus warned, “Do not judge, or you too will be judged” (Matthew 7:1). If your friend has given her life to Jesus, then she needs your love, prayers and encouragement. God wants her to find her peace

in Christ — not in drugs. Ask God to help you confront her, lovingly but clearly, about her need to follow Him in all of her life. If she is deceiving herself about her commitment to Christ, ask God to help you point her to Jesus. Explain what we must do:

repent of our sins, trust Christ as Savior, and yield our lives to Him as Lord. God has reasons for placing you close to this friend. Ask Him to make you a tool in His hands, to bring the power of the Gospel into her life. TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
