Hundreds march for King Jr. at OSU

grandmother, Jewel Washington. Ones of a life he doesn’t know.

Tré Smith’s eyes watered as he glanced at his notes and a crowd of hundreds who stared at him.

He recalled stories told from his

“’Every day, I had to pick 250 pounds of cotton before I could go back home,’” Smith said. “This is hard for me and most people to understand because we simply have not had to face this type of situation.”

This was life for Black Americans before the Civil Rights movement and integration.

Smith’s retrospective speech informed a modern audience. Hundreds of OSU students and faculty marched through campus in celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. on Monday.

His lifelong efforts for racial equality inspired generations and those in Stillwater.

“Being a Black student at a predominantly white university institution, it means a lot for them to ac-

knowledge a Black man who wanted equality for all races,” junior Chauntal Dudley said. She serves as president of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated, a historically Black sorority.

University offices were closed Monday because of the holiday. The support for King Jr. still showed.

Holiday Happenings: What winter break means to Cowboy tennis

schedule begins; for tennis players, it’s a brief respite in what amounts to an allyear competitive season.

Cowboy tennis players Alessio Basile and Tyler Zink spent their winter break one simple way. Recharging the batteries.

Many student athletes’ batteries get a full semester to recharge before their competitive

While the spring includes week-in-week-out team matches, conference play, and a potential NCAA tournament bid, Cowboy and Cowgirl tennis players still compete at the highest level almost year-round.

The fall season often includes players entering intercollegiate,

national or international tournaments to improve their individual rankings across the various different systems that permeate the sport on an amateur and professional level. Only during the winter break does the flow of matches slow for both the college teams and individual players; that seasonal pause is time they definitely don’t take for granted.

California bracing for one final round of storms, officials assess damage

Taryn Luna Los Angeles Times

SACRAMENTO, Calif.

— Another moderate storm is expected to hit California on Sunday evening and continue into Monday, bringing more rain along the coast and inland valleys and up to 2 feet of snow in the mountain regions of Northern California.

But meteorologists say there’s good news on the horizon. The series of storms that has ravaged the state — flooding communities, forcing evacuations, shutting down major highways and leading to at least 19 deaths — should end this week.

“It looks like a dry period that we haven’t seen since the day after Christmas when this all started,” said Eric Kurth, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Sacramento.

The dry spell is expected to begin in Southern California on Tuesday, after up to an inch of rain falls overnight Sunday and continues with scattered showers on Monday.

Rain is similarly expected in the North Coast, Sacramento region, San Francisco Bay Area and Central Coast Sunday and Monday before a much lighter

system begins Wednesday. By Thursday, all of California should experience a respite from the rain, meteorologists said.

That’s when state and local officials will begin to assess longer-term rebuilding efforts in areas heavily damaged by the storms.

The Biden administration on Saturday approved Gov. Gavin Newsom’s request for a presidential disaster declaration to support the state’s response to flooding, mudslides and landslides in California, where 41 counties are under emergency declarations.

Brian Ferguson, a spokesperson for the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services, said the state continues to monitor the Monterey Peninsula and the Salinas River, where a flood warning remains in effect near the town of Spreckels.

Concerns that river flooding could cut off communities, such as Monterey and Carmel, on the peninsula have abated, though the state is still closely watching water levels on the river.

Newsom visited local first responders and the California National Guard on Friday in Santa Barbara.

Cowboy wrestling takeaways: Surber shines, bottom struggles resurface

Daniel Allen Staff Reporter

On Sunday afternoon, No. 13 OSU (6-1) downed Columbia (1-4) in New York City, earning a road win while also garnering well-rounded contributions from both ends of its starting 10.

Here are three takeaways from the Cowboys’ 23-12 win over the Lions.

A surplus of Surber: Before Sunday’s dual, OSU coach John Smith hadn’t pried away from his expectations for his junior, 197-pound wrestler.

One day, Surber is taking a top 10 opponent in Michael Beard to the final seconds of his bout, or earning a dualclinching pin on Oklahoma’s Keegan Moore. The next, he’s being ridden and taken-to-thewire against unranked Michial Foy of Minnesota in an eventual loss.

“We just need some consistency out of him,” Smith said earlier in the season. “Sometimes he can be a little shy or conservative with his moves. I want him to go out there and be aggressive. Show some fight.”

On Sunday, Surber was the aggressor.

As he headed toward the mat to begin the second period, a look of disdain could be seen. Perhaps it was disdain towards his performance, only leading unranked Javen Javero 4-1 as a result of two late takedowns — one coming as time expired in the first period. Perhaps Surber

himself took into account what his head coach had preached to him all season long.

“Be aggressive.”

It was a pivotal moment in the dual. OSU led 15-12, with only the 197 and heavyweight bouts remaining. A win for Surber would essentially force the Lions to go for a pin in the final bout in order to force a criteria decision.

As the second period began, a flip switched. Surber, resulting from a catch-andrelease wrestling tactic, earned an eventual 21-6 tech fall over Javero, clinching a victory for the Cowboys.

It’s moments like these his head coach expects out of him. Tough, gritty and bold performances that involve doing whatever it takes to earn a decision or more — nothing less.

The bottom line: Consistency on bottom is often one of the deciding factors that determine how elite a

wrestler can be.

For Carter Young and Trevor Mastrogiovanni, it is more prevalent than ever. Young was a blue chip recruit that fell into Smith’s hands before to the 2021-22 season. There have been a bevy of flashes of talent and moments that could be tabbed as a possible foreshadowing of his potential, the inconsistencies have diminished any momentum for the sophomore wrestling moving beyond that — particularly with his struggles on bottom.

On Sunday, Mastrogiovanni — ranked No. 16 at 125 pounds — dropped his bout to unranked Nick Babin 6-0, nearly being ridden for the entirety of his bout and surrendering a grand 1:33 in riding time.

Young was stagnant offensively and appeared passive in his movements. It led to a scoreless first period for the sophomore wrestler and ended in a pin for Matt Kazimir of

Columbia, less than one minute into the second period of the bout.

Both wrestlers had struggled on bottom heading into the dual. Yet, both posted impressive victories in last week’s road win over Oregon State, while recording multiple escape points. At times this year, it seems as if those recurring bottom struggles have diminished entirely. Yet, on Sunday, they resurfaced. Moments like these will prevent wrestlers with even the utmost talent and potential from reaching their peak — as is the case at 125-pound and 141-pound weight classes for the Cowboys.

Finding balance in weight classes:

Over the course of the season, the amount of success that OSU’s upper and lower weight wrestlers accumulated has fluctuated.

In the 21-15 thriller over Oklahoma, it was the upper

weight classes that propelled the Cowboys to victory. In last week’s 20-12 road win over Oregon State, it was the lower weights that saved OSU from an upset loss.

“We need to be planning on knowing that (we) need to be performing at a higher level every time, all-around,” Smith said prior to Sunday’s dual. “If (we) have bad matches then we (need to) win close. We need some of those guys to step into those roles right now.”

Albeit some individual inconsistencies, there was apparent balance among both weight classes as the Cowboys took seven of 10 bouts in the win over Columbia. Should the inconsistencies among the upper and lower weights dwindle, Smith hopes that his team can become more complete and well-rounded. Perhaps Sunday’s dual was only a foreshadowing of what was to come.

“Getting around your friends and family again, it feels good to see them,” Basile said. “It makes you ready to go into spring season.”

When class isn’t in session during the summer months, many team members will still enter pro tour events in order to kickstart their future careers. Basile, a freshman, played in three

The winter intersession presents itself with valuable time to rest and recuperate, but not every player spends their time during break the same. While Basile focused on family time in his home country of Belgium, Zink, a junior returning to his second year with the Cowboys, chose to spend his break on the golf courses of Florida.

“I was golfing a ton,” Zink said,

chuckling. “There’s a good break period where I stop playing [tennis] a little bit and play golf until I start my preseason, which was about five weeks. The first three were off and then yeah, I got to work.”

Zink wasn’t alone in his decision to do pre-season training: “About two thirds of the team had a preseason where they trained really, really hard back home or went away,” said Cowboys head coach Dustin Taylor. “Nobody stayed here in Stillwater. The break was great for all of us, but we were chomping at the bit to get back together.”

“I think everybody is in a great place with their tennis, and hyped up for the season to start,” Basile said after the matches concluded.

“Now, we’ve just got to keep it up.”

Grand Slam Juniors tournaments this past summer and three ITF tournaments during the fall season, further cutting into what other students and studentathletes have to recuperate and develop for the new school year.

No better could the team have demonstrated that voracity to start the season than with their back-to-back wins over Texas-Rio Grande Valley on Saturday. It’s the kind of victory that Basile thinks represents where they are as a team, and hopefully what the rest of the season can be.

OSU senior Tyler Zink spent his winter break on golf courses in Florida. The Cowboys recently returned and opened their spring season with a doubleheader win on Sunday.

“Santa Barbara, that’s a different challenge and maybe a more challenging situation, because there the threats are all about land movement,” Ferguson said, adding that mudslides present a major risk even after the storms pass.

He said the Guard is working to get debris out of flood control channels and improve drainage to

lessen the impact of mudslides.

In Merced County, levee breaks on Bear Creek led to several feet of water in homes and schools, creating a need for another long-term recovery effort, he said.

Santa Cruz experienced “high tides, storm surges, wind and water all at the same time,” causing significant damage to the state beach and the town of Capitola, Ferguson said.

“The water movement out of the Santa Cruz Mountains just moves so quickly that there is pretty significant damage to roads and bridges and other work that may take longer to recover from as well,” he said.

Another flood warning remains in effect along the Sacramento River, affecting Glenn, Butte and Tehama counties.

Coastal flood advisories remain in effect for beaches in San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, Monterey and San Francisco counties. The National Weather Service warned of high tide flooding in low-lying parking lots, beaches and walkways and increased risk of drowning due to rip currents.

OSU library receives $1.2 million grant to process U.S. Sen. Inhofe’s papers

Kennedy Thomason Assistant News & Lifestyle Editor

The Oklahoma State University Library received $1.2 million from the Senate Historical Office.

The money is a part of a preservation partnership grant, which will fund the supplies, employees and space to process, archive and make U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe’s papers publicly available.

Sheila Johnson, Dean of Libraries and Clerico Family Chair for Library Excellence, said the library is thankful for the opportunity.

“Senator Inhofe’s career has

helped shape today’s Oklahoma and left a mark on national discourse,” Johnson said. “We are honored to serve as the repository for the senator’s papers.”

Inhofe announced OSU as the repository for his archive in late 2022.

The papers that will be processed include documents of Inhofe’s public service from 1967 to 2023. These years cover his time as a member of the Oklahoma State House of Representatives, Oklahoma State Senate, Mayor of Tulsa, U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate. The papers vary, including constituent mail, Inhofe’s schedules, legislative, press and audiovisual files and awards.

The library was invited to apply

for support after receiving news that OSU would house Inhofe’s papers. The U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee earmarked $10 million to help with the archiving process.

This funding will preserve the senator’s records and donate the records to research institutions, which will make the documents public.

“Our Special Collections and University Archives endeavor to gather and protect significant records that preserve our history and culture,” Johnson said. “Sen. Inhofe’s papers represent an important element of Oklahoma history, and this collection will serve as a valuable resource for researchers for generations to come.”

OSU’s library has already received half of Inhofe’s collection. The other half is expected to arrive in early 2023. Archivists expect it to take over five years to process the collection due to its size, over 1,400 linear feet.

Inhofe’s collection will be housed by the OSU Library’s Special Collections and University Archives. All documents will be available to view by appointment.

For more information about Inhofe’s Collection or to inquire about accessing the material, contact the OSU Library Special Collections and University Archives at 405-744-6311 or libraryhelp@okstate.edu. news.ed@okstate.edu

The Senate Historical Office awarded the Oklahoma State University Library more than $1.2 million.

March participants congregated in front of the shade at Spears School of Business. Sophomore psychology student Brittanie Cannon performed the Black national anthem, “Lift Every Voice of Sing.”

Cannon’s voice serenaded the silent crowd full of student athletes, students, faculty, children and Stillwater citizens.

The short march began after the opening remarks. Four students led the group with a hand on a banner.

Some participants held poster board covered in various colors and slogans. Others walked in silence. Some made small talk with a stranger and continued King Jr.’s beliefs. Unity.

“It means everything,” sophomore Jayvion Frazier said. “Without him (King Jr.), I don’t think we could have gotten really far anywhere in the world. He brought down the barriers between anybody of a minority. It’s really good that we’re coming out and celebrating this.”

The group walked through Library Lawn, turned left on South Monroe Street and left of West University Avenue to the McKnight Center. The City of Stillwater closed portions of those roads for the parade.

OSU’s celebration for King Jr. was one of many throughout Oklahoma and the nation. The City of Stillwater hosted a longer unity march on Monday morning. Participants finished that route and joined the OSU march.

“It also shows that OSU believes in our history and making sure that it’s not just history,” Dayna Brown, a fellow member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, said. “It’s remembered for years to come and then that is consistently taught to next generations so that his legacy can continue on.”

OSU-Tulsa also held its 44th annual King Jr. Parade on Monday morning.

On Friday in Boston, bronze sculptor Hank Willis Thomas unveiled a piece depicting an embrace between King Jr. and his wife, Coretta Scott King.

“It’s nice to see we got a whole community and a whole university come together for something like this,” sophomore Myron Peoples said. “In Oklahoma City, we really don’t have too much like this going on. We might have a little group but not something as big as this.”

Coaches and student athletes from several OSU sports appeared at the March. Mike Boynton, OSU’s men’s basketball coach, brought his team to reflect on King Jr.’s work.

“I don’t think you can ever do enough of helping people understand, as a country, how far we’ve come while also recognizing we still got a long ways to go in a lot of ways,” Boynton said.

Smith, a recent OSU graduate, concluded the celebration with his keynote speech. He spoke for five minutes about lessons learned from his Washington and King Jr.

Dave Smith, OSU’s cross country and track and field coach, also walked along the route.

“I think there’s so much divisiveness over one issue or another in our country that anytime you can get together and reflect on the way King Jr. saw the world, it’s a good thing,” Smith said.

OSU’s celebration of King Jr. continues Thursday night with a Q&A with actor Jay Ellis.

A look at Legoland’s Pirate River Quest boat ride

Dewayne Bevil Orlando Sentinel

WINTER HAVEN, Fla. — Legoland Florida theme park is ready to launch its new boat ride dubbed Pirate River Quest, during which passengers will see Lego characters amid natural beauty. The attraction, a free-floating voyage that leans into the history of Cypress Gardens, opened to the public this month.

“We’ve always maintained a nod back to some of the historical Cypress Gardens elements,” said Rex Jackson, managing director of Legoland Resorts - North America. “By bringing boats back to the canal waterways for the very first time, we’re able to expose a lot more of our guests to the hidden gem of Cypress Gardens.”

During a media preview, many burning Pirate River Quest questions were answered.

What’s the story?

Captain Redbeard’s treasure has been taken, and visitors help him solve clues and recover items such as blue sapphires, red rubies and gold coins. That will be the curse that prevents him from returning to Legoland. He also warns to keep your arms and wooden legs inside the boat at all times.

What do passengers see?

Folks on the quest immediately sail into the canals of the park’s Cypress Gardens area. The waterway has been there since the 1930s and was rehabbed for the new attraction. Installed near tall trees and other greenery are Lego figures, including monkeys, singing birds, alligators and “creepy crawlies,” not to mention a ship piloted by Calico Jade and the tentacles of a bright red kraken.

Some of the attraction’s figures aren’t as blocky as Lego structures can be.

“The monkeys that you see are actual Lego elements that you can get in Lego sets, just blown up. … But it is just one piece of plastic, that element itself. We’ve blown that up into a model that’s made of fiberglass, but they work really nicely on rides like this,” said Nick Miller, direction of operations. “They don’t fade. They are easy to clean.”

What do passengers do?

Riders follow the instructions of Redbeard (given via onboard audio), which include finding and counting gems along the shore, looking out for bony opponents in Skeleton Valley and participating in a seaworthy singalong near the finale. Passengers also, in a make-believe, theme-parky sort of way, fire cannons.

Remember, this is Legoland, steered to the 2-to-12-year-old set, so the tasks are fairly elementary. It shouldn’t be hard to spot one of the golden bricks, as requested. They’re about 3 feet long.

Pirate River Quest would not be considered a thrill ride, official say. And you’re unlikely to get wet onboard.

What’s the boat like?

Ride vehicles float free in the waters of the gardens and then onto Lake Eloise. It is steered and controlled by a real, live pilot; there is no submerged rail to guide the vessel. The flat boat has four padded rows with backs, and Legoland will cap the capacity at 11 people — only 8 of them adults — plus the navigator. Children under the age of 6 are required to wear life vests, supplied by the park. (Adult sizes also are available.)

There’s no bathroom on board, so plan accordingly before the 20-minute experience.

What will the lines be like?

Normal operations will see 10 vessels on the quest route at a time.

“We know there are a lot of people that are very excited about this ride in particular because it is taking you back into the nostalgic Cypress Gardens. So we do anticipate that it will be a popular ride,” Jackson said. “It is going to be connected very closely though to our Brickbeard’s Watersports Stunt Show. … We anticipate the lines will be busier around the same time that the show is either beginning, getting ready to start or right after it ended.”

What’s the connection to history?

“This is restoration of the original canalways, which we were given in a state of disrepair, not because of any previous issues, but because this lake is about a foot and a half taller now than it was in the 30s.” Miller said. “So the original sea walls are just underwater, they are no longer useful. We were able

to put a new sea wall around, restore the canals, restore the grasses and the plants alongside the canals.”

Passengers may also spy Cypress Gardens’ historic Florida-shaped swimming pool during the adventure.

“It’s a reason to bring a whole new generation into the gardens,” said Kelly Hornick, head of marketing and communications: “It’s reintroducing kids with Lego humor with Lego pirates and the silliness that comes with that, to be able to experience the gardens and really appreciate them.”

Do people still want to see gardens?

“Guests who come and actually walk through the gardens give us way more five-star reviews than guests who don’t. It is a pleasant surprise for

guests who find the gardens,” Miller said. “We want people to come back and take a walk because it’s a nice relaxing part of the day.”

What about public access to Lake Eloise?

As the Pirate River Quest boats head back to the dock, they’re in open waters. They may encounter paddleboarders, fishers or part of Legoland’s ski team in rehearsal.

“We do anticipate that some boaters or paddleboarders may decide to engage with some of our guests as they’re going through their ride experience as well,” Jackson said. “But that’s part of the Lake Eloise charm.”
