First wave of APRA funding influences
Oklahomans to advocate for broadband service
The submission window is open for broadband service providers to apply for federal funding that will expand and improve Oklahoma broadband infrastructure.
This month, the Oklahoma Broadband Office announced service providers can compete for $374 million in grant funding made possible through the American Rescue Plan Act to expand high-speed internet throughout the state. The application portal closes Oct. 9.
“This is the first time we’ve had any statelevel money to help solve this problem,” said Brian Whitacre, Oklahoma State University Extension specialist in rural economic development and chair of the Oklahoma Broadband Expansion Council.
“Before, we were just relying on federal programs, but this is the first time we’re hopefully going to take a big step toward solving this problem.”
Rural residents lacking access to quality, high-speed internet connection are encouraged to advocate for broadband service with their qualifying providers.
“If your area or house is unserved, you can talk to local providers, such as electric cooperatives, and they can receive priority points for funding,” Whitacre said. “Be vocal, talk to the provider in your area and tell it you need a connection.”
Whitacre said internet providers must specify the exact locations and buildings where they propose to expand or improve a broadband connection.
Southern-land grant universities create innovative, safe turfgrass
From college football players to preschooler soccer teams, one factor influences every sport: surface.
Athletes risk injury as their bodies make contact with the surface they play on. The safety of running, kicking, throwing and tackling is determined by surface quality and type.
Research projects across the southern U.S. are making
a difference in sport safety by developing different varieties of turfgrasses and studying the underlayment and construction of stadium and community soccer fields, golf courses, home lawns and more. Clemson University, North Carolina State University, Oklahoma State University, University of Tennessee and University of Georgia are part of a system of 15 agricultural research centers at land-grant universities in the southern U.S. where scientists collaborate to conserve the region’s natural resources and sustainably feed a growing global
population. Oklahoma State University
Researchers at OSU developed and commecialized 10 new types of turfgrass.
OSU’s recent bermudagrass variety, Tahoma 31, can be found on golf courses, football fields and soccer complexes nationwide, as well as in the stadiums and practice fields of the Philadelphia Eagles, the Washington Commanders, the Baltimore Ravens and the Chicago Bears.
Todd Tribble, athletic field superintendent at OSU, learned about turfgrass man-
agement as a Clemson University student. Tribble said the knowledge he gained as he studied at Clemson correlates to his turfgrass role at OSU.
“Both universities are in USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7,” Tribble said. “So, the grasses we grow here are the same type of grasses grown at Clemson. Most day-to-day management tasks are very similar. The only real difference is the amount of winterkill we see on bermudagrass here because our winters can sometimes be quite severe.”

‘Euphoria’ sparks tough conversations at OSU
of health education, reached the student body for the second time on Sep. 20, 2023.
“Euphoria,” an HBO show, starring Zendaya, has taken the world by storm with the release of the first season, and again with the release of the second season in early 2022. The show follows a group of teenagers navigating relationships, platonic and romantic, in a world of trauma, sex and drugs.
The audience is primarily collegeaged viewers, with the content covering issues young adults might experience. Rue, the main character, is a drug addict while other characters experience abuse, insecurity and various mental health issues.
In the show, the content is often intense with graphic depictions of drug use, substance abuse, overdoses and violence.
The department of wellness at OSU became aware of the show’s popularity after the release of season 2 in January 2022. The issues arising in the show were the exact issues the department was working toward decreasing on campus.
“Euphoria: Unraveled,” a presentation put on by Ryane Draper, grant manager, and Macy Stokes, coordinator
Both Draper and Stokes raised concerns about issues like addiction, mixing substances, overdose and substance abuse during the presentation.
Using the show, “Euphoria,” they piqued the interests of students to discuss the importance of awareness on these issues.
Short two-to-three minute clips from “Euphoria” were shown to expose the correct signs to look out for when spotting addictive behaviors. Between each clip, both presenters explained how to help if you somehow find yourself in a similar situation to one on the show.
Addiction, one of the main themes on the show, is a complex issue to discuss. In the presentation, they identified factors that can lead to addiction. Mental health issues, trauma and access to prescription medication are all risk factors for developing an addiction.
In “Euphoria,” Rue was diagnosed early in life with multiple different mental health issues, including OCD, ADD and depression. When she got older, her father became deathly ill, and she took care of him. This gave her access to his prescription medications.

Breaking down OSU’s Bowman’s performance vs Iowa State
Gabriel Trevino Columnist
Column
Alan Bowman, for the first time this season, said he was OK with the offense punting.
After knowing he would only get four drives in each of Oklahoma State’s first three games as coach Mike Gundy experimented with using three quarterbacks, Bowman got a full game to start at Iowa State.
The Cowboys lost 34-27, but Bowman said he gained more in one game than the previous three.
“Going through the first three games, a punt wasn’t the best thing, because you wanted to score as many points as you could when you only have a certain number of plays,” Bowman said. “But getting a full game, knowing what’s going on, you can settle in and it was a lot better. I felt more confident and let it rip.”
It showed. Bowman took more risks down the field, completing some but missing on others.
His first two deep shots to De’Zhaun Stribling in the first and second quarters, he overthrew. The pass was in the right spot on Stribling’s outside shoulder, but Bowman’s passes were too far.
Later, with 11 minutes in the second quarter, he got another chance and connected on it. Jaden Nixon lined up as on outside in one-on-one with a linebacker. Nixon, who at one point last season ran 22 mph on a kick return, burned the linebacker off the line. Bowman didn’t miss, perfectly hitting Nixon in stride for a 60-yard touchdown.
But when the play breaks down, Bowman’s processing slows. He threw two interceptions, and nearly two more, in plays where Bowman forced a pass and led it inside, allowing the corner to jump it and intercept it.
“When a play breaks down, many coaches have told me, ‘Don’t make a bad play worse,’ and that was a bad play,” Bowman said. “I tried to force it in there and that can’t happen. Then on fourth down, I have to give him a chance. A little bit open is open on fourth down, and the guy made a great play.” Processing was a problem for Bowman on Saturday. At times, he wouldn’t move onto his later progressions until it was too late or not at all. In previous games, he would take his check downs, but against Iowa State, he wouldn’t until it was too late, limiting his receivers’ run-after-catch
potential. This was due to his pocket awareness. After looking at his first read, Bowman’s reaction would be to scramble. Even with a clean pocket or
one where all he had to do was move over a bit, he would abandon the tackle box and try to make a play on the run, which mostly didn’t work.
Overall, with cleaner
ball placement, even without fixing some of his mental mistakes, he could be a much better passer. With more time, Bowman could be a more than competent starter at OSU, but

Gundy wouldn’t confirm if that would happen.
“I can’t give you that answer right now,” he said. sports.ed@ocolly.com

Alan Bowman said getting the start and playing the entire game rather than rotating with other quarterbacks allowed him to settle in and become more confident.
OSU defeats Kansas State, earns fourth consecutive win
Parker Gerl Staff Reporter
After 30 minutes that consisted of little to no energy, a weather delay was issued.
Oklahoma State and Kansas State went into their locker rooms with the game scoreless, each searching for anything to give them an advantage.
“Obviously, when you get the weather delay, you get a little worried about how the rhythm is gonna be affected,” said OSU coach Colin Carmi-
chael. “Our kids handled it really well though.”
Quickly after the intermission, though, OSU put rhythm concerns to rest and earned a 2-0 win Sunday afternoon at Neal Patterson Stadium.
Xcaret Pineda, who’s known for her smooth passing and ability to set up others, fired one of her own from about 25 yards. She drained it and gave the Cowgirls a 1-0 lead after a slow-paced half and half-hour stoppage.
“It was honestly like a weird breakaway play,” Pineda said. “I just kept dribbling and I saw the defense slid over, so the shot was open, and I

just took it.”
Pineda got at least two or three additional good looks at the goal. She could have easily finished with two or three goals on the day had they been converted. She put a ton of pressure on Kansas State goalkeepers, nonetheless.
“I mean, it’s frustrating (not getting the additional goals),” Pineda said.
“Just because I went into the second half like, ‘Still need more goals to secure the game,’ so that was in my head for sure. I got the plays, and it was a really good ball by Megan (Haines), I just didn’t finish.”
After a long stretch of no points
being put on the board, Logan Heausler answered Pineda’s call for more goals. She drilled one in the 82nd minute, helping the Cowgirls take a commanding lead with time running out for the Wildcats to respond.
Then the OSU defense stood tall and coasted the final minutes to pick up another shutout win, moving to 10-2 overall and 3-0 in conference.
“My only regret is that we didn’t score a couple of more goals,” Carmichael said. “But to shut out another Big 12 opponent, I’m really pleased.”

Grace Gordon dominant in OSU’s third-straight shutout
Alyssa Brandon Staff Reporter
The Cowgirl soccer team is building an impressive defensive streak.
Goalkeeper Grace Gordon allowed no goals in OSU’s past two matches, and Sunday afternoon was no different.
Gordon shut down another offense, holding Kansas State scoreless on nine shots, while tallying up three saves. The Cowgirls earned their fourth consecutive win, 2-0, at Neal Patterson Stadium.
With two saves against Abilene Christian and three against Kansas in similar shutouts, Gordon continued to keep this defense grounded, adding to her already impressive 28save season.
What does it take to keep up this consistent pace?
“I think it’s just being a positive influential voice in the back because a lot of the time that’s one thing I can do right,” Gordon said.
OSU coach Colin Carmichael has spoken highly of Gordon being a vocal leader before, and she backed him up today, even with a quiet offensive strike from KSU.
“She was called upon in the first half to make a big team save, and she made it,” Carmichael said.
KSU tried to create rhythm before the end of the first half, but Gordon climbed the ladder and deflected the ball out of play, keeping the score 1-0.
Although the workload against recent opponents may have not been as steep as expected, Carmichael has taken notice of Gordon’s effort.
“She had not as much to do as maybe I thought she might,” Carmichael said.
“When called upon she’s really stepped up”.
The Cowgirls have allowed only one goal three games into conference play. Goalkeeping isn’t always a flashy job, but Gordon has been
so far in her run of conference success.
“Anytime keepers get shutouts, they’re happy,” Carmichael said.

Clemson University and North Carolina State University
Researchers at Clemson in South Carolina and North Carolina State University in Raleigh produced a playbook for managing sports fields.
Best Management Practices for Carolina Sport Fields, by McCarty and Grady Miller at North Carolina State, contains research-based information that serves as a reference guide for sports field managers, students and regulatory agencies worldwide.
“Information included in this book is the most current available and includes traditional and recent agronomic trends necessary to provide
desirable yet safe playing conditions,” McCarty said. “This information applies to natural grass fields as well as synthetic (turf) fields. It pertains to most fields and budgets, from professional to local parks and recreation fields, including football, soccer, baseball, softball, lacrosse and rugby.”
Miller’s research focused on several areas, including irrigation practices and turfgrass nutrition.
“Irrigation normally is just needed to supplement rainfall since the southern region of the U.S. usually gets adequate total rainfall amounts to meet the needs of turfgrass,” Miller said.
“However, there are times when rainfall frequency or distribution can result in drought-stressed turfgrasses.”
University of Tennessee
Researchers for the UT Center for Athletic Field Safety compared natural grass-playing surfaces to synthetic surfaces.

SINCE 1957,
Their goal is to improve athletic performance and reduce athlete injuries.
John Sorochan, the center’s director, also serves as a consultant to the NFL Players Association, the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) and other groups associated with turf venues. Sorochan was selected to oversee a massive research and installation project for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which expanded to include 48 teams playing at 16 venues across Canada, Mexico and the U.S.
Sorochan and the UT turfgrass team research how different balls bounce when they land on different grasses. They designed a device to test the stress involved when different-sized shoes perform on different turfs.
University of Georgia
University of Georgia turf research program scientists are taking turfgrass information to a new level.
They are providing information to Spanish-speaking audiences abroad. Led by Alfredo Martinez-Espinoza, a professor in UGA’s College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and a UGA Cooperative Extension Service plant pathologist, members of the UGA Turf Team were invited to develop a training and certification program to support the field managers of Mexico’s premier soccer leagues as they prepare for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
“Our jobs are to filter through all the problems presented to us and pinpoint research-based, actionable solutions that can be taught so our clients are competent and prepared as a result of working with us,” Martinez-Espinoza said.
Turfgrass scientists at land-grant institutions are advancing the aesthetic appeal and performance of turfgrasses to ensure they meet the highest standards.

The Oklahoma Broad Office commissioned a firm to develop an interactive map that reports Oklahoma’s current availability, speed and equity of internet service to help identify areas with poor internet service. Residents can zoom to an exact address and view the building’s status of underserved, unserved or served. The new map will improve the accuracy of a similar diagram managed by the Federal Communications Commission and allow Oklahoma residents to offer feedback on connectivity data. Witacre said the larger amounts of underserved populations are in eastern Oklahoma, but the higher percentages of underserved individual homes and businesses are in western Oklahoma.
After the Oct. 9 deadline for ARPA proposals, Oklahoma is set to receive additional rounds of broadband infrastructure funding: $167.7 million from the ARPA Capital Projects Fund and $797.4 million in Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment funds.

Draper introduced a few ideas that could decrease access to prescription drugs after using Rue’s situation as an example. Medicine lock boxes, available for free on campus, could restrict other’s access to personal medication.

instances showing drug use mixed with alcohol use.
One example, used in the presentation, was Rue overdosing by mixing substances at a party. Most of the attendees were unaware of what was happening, except Elliot, Rue’s friend, who gave her a medication that slowed her heart rate.
Draper and Stokes express how important it is to learn how to react in a situation where there could be a potential overdose.
First and foremost, call the authorities, whether that be OSUPD or 911. In the meantime, position the person into a recovery position, and prepare to give them CPR.
With the increase of fentanyl overdoses, having Narcan on hand has become a life-saving strategy when administered before the arrival of authorities. Community mentors, who live in dorms, also have access to Narcan when on call.
Thankfully, access to Narcan and other resources has increased on campus due to a grant received by the wellness department, the higher education prevention grant through the Oklahoma department of mental health and substance abuse services.
The grant provides educational resources as well as a public health vending machine located in the Colvin Recreation Center. The vending
machine contains fentanyl test strips, Narcan and various other resources. With addiction and substance abuse running rampant on college campuses, students often experience grief, strained relationships and other mental health issues. Stokes and Draper gave advice to students experiencing these issues. They said to show love and support, set boundaries to protect yourself and use your resources.
University counseling services can also help students struggling with addiction, substance abuse and mental health. If you find yourself grieving relationships that have been lost due to substance abuse, UCS also has a grief and loss team.
