New exhibition at Gardiner Gallery of Art

Thomason News & Lifestyle Editor

Internationally acclaimed Latin American art is now in Stillwater.

OSU’s Gardiner Gallery of Art’s new exhibition, “Modos de ver/Ways of Seeing,” features works from Latin American artists to celebrate Latin American and Hispanic Heritage month and the gallery’s recent renovation.

The exhibition has pieces from eight artists that cover a wide variety of topics from pre-Hispanic heritage to migrations in and out of Latin America. It also includes many different mediums from sculpture to video.

The artists have combined traditional modes of art with modern ones to grapple with the past to understand the present.

Chris Whittey, head of the Department of Art, Graphic Design and Art History at OSU, said the exhibit provides valuable insights into the world through a Hispanic lens.

AUSTIN, Texas — Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton says he will file criminal complaints against the Board of Managers who spearheaded his impeachment after his home address was published in documents posted online last week.

In a news release sent Monday, Paxton cited a new state law that makes it illegal to post someone’s address or phone number online “with the intent to cause harm or a threat of harm.” It is meant to protect people from “doxing,” the practice of posting someone’s personal information online without their permis-

The attorney general said he and his family have received “multiple threats of violence.” The complaints will be filed with district attorneys in the managers’ eight home counties, according to the news release.

“The impeachment managers clearly have a desire to threaten me with harm when they released this information last week,” Paxton said. “I’m imploring their local prosecutors in each individual district to investigate the criminal offenses that have been committed.”

Paxton, a Republican, was impeached in May on allegations of corruption. The Texas Senate cleared him after a two-week trial last month.

OSU student named finalist for 4-H Youth in Action Award

Lauren King Staff Reporter

Jenessa Dugger of Harthshorne, Oklahoma was recently announced as runner-up for the 2024 4-H Youth in Action Award by the National 4-H Council. Dugger was recognized for her commitment to supporting heart patients.

The 4-H Youth in Action Awards began in 2010 to recognize 4-H members who

have used the knowledge they gained in 4-H to create a lasting impact in their community while advancing their own future careers and goals.

Dugger is a member of the Lakewood 4-H Club in Pittsburg County. She created her nonprofit, Arts for Hearts, to raise funds by auctioning pieces of art donated by Oklahoma artists. Proceeds from the project help patients at the Saint Francis Heart Hospital. Dugger was recognized for the 4-H Youth in Action

Award due to her commitment to supporting these heart patients. This was an accomplishment that hit close to home for Dugger. A heart patient herself, Dugger understands the stress and struggle patients feel. Dugger focuses on raising awareness and funds to support others experiencing heart problems. Serving as a leader on her tribe’s reservation, Dugger honors her heritage and meets the needs within her community.

Cowboy Extra

Gundy breaks down KU game, red zone issues

Daniel Allen Staff Reporter

Two years ago, Mike Gundy’s Oklahoma State Cowboys were on the victorious end of a matchup with Kansas.

On Oct. 30, 2021, OSU celebrated a 55-3 thumping of the Jayhawks on Homecoming weekend. Despite the 52-point victory over a then-Big-12 bottom dweller, Gundy said he’s seen drastic improvements within a KU program which at the time hadn’t logged a winning season in 13 years.

Jayhawk coach Lance Leipold has a pedigree of pulling off drastic turnarounds.

During his coaching stint before KU, Leipold turned a Buffalo program with just one bowl game appearance in the previous five seasons into a yearly contender for the MidAmerican Conference Championship.

Before that, he transformed Wisconsin-Whitewater program into a NCAA Division III juggernaut, capturing six national championships in eight seasons.

One year later, Gundy was on the losing end.

Kansas dominated the Cowboys, 37-16, in Lawrence. Not to mention, that win gave KU its first bowl berth since 2008.

Such a turnaround sparked a comparison to Bill Synder at Kansas State.

In Synder’s first year in 1989, the Wildcats finished 1-10, prolonging a seven-year streak of losing seasons. Two seasons later, they attained their first winning season. Two years after that, their first bowl berth. Then, 19 bowl appearances, 225 wins and two Big 12 titles in 27 seasons.

While Gundy was careful to hand out comparisons, he noted the parallels.

“(Leipold) believes in things, and that’s what they’re gonna do,” Gundy said. “He’s had his coordinators with him for almost 20 years… They don’t waste a lot of time doing things. That’s the same way with coach Snyder.

“The similarities are that they stay in their box. They know what they want. They’re not real complicated which allows players to compete and play fast.”

The especial Jayhawk wishbone

KU holds the nation’s sixth-best rushing offense, averaging 232.3 yards a game. Sixteen of the offense’s 25 touchdowns have come on a run.

Last week, the Jayhawks tallied 399 rushing yards in a blowout win against UCF.

That success derives from the tandem of running backs Devin Neal and Daniel Hishaw,

whom each average at least 6.9 yards a carry. The legs of quarterbacks Jalon Daniels and Jason Bean have been major catalysts in the rushing success, as well.

KU offensive coordinator

Andy Kotelnicki runs a wishbone-caliber scheme, involving multiple motions and pre-snap cadences. A year ago, it gave the OSU defense trouble, as KU tallied 554 total yards of offense – 351 of which came on the ground.

“They’ll try and create leverage and confuse you,” Gundy said. “Creating a lot of eye candy and distractions, which they’re good at.

“The good news is that

we’ve worked on that for the last three weeks. The challenge this week is all of that, and then (matching) up triple option after they reset.”

Although the Jayhawks haven’t had a set quarterback given the recurring injuries involving Daniels, Bean has proven to be a capable piece under center.

“We have to prepare for (Jason) Bean this game,” Gundy said. “I don’t know what’s going on with Jalon Daniels, but he’s not been out there for a couple of weeks. But I don’t know that they change a lot (offensively) when he’s in there. They’re gonna do the same stuff, in my opinion. Now,

(Daniels) might bring some things to the table differently. But we’ve got to prepare for the guy that’s been out there the last three weeks.”

Recurrent red zone struggles?

The good news for the Cowboy offense is its .941 red zone success rate. Through 17 trips, OSU has scored 16 times.

The bad news is six of those 16 scores were field goals.

The Cowboys mustered one touchdown on Kansas State’s defense in their 29-21 win over the Wildcats and were forced to attempt six field goals, four of which came in the red zone. Before Friday’s game, the

Ethan Scott

Wildcat defense had yet to prevent a red zone score through four games. And while they did so just once, Gundy acknowledged that the five made field goals need to be touchdowns moving forward, with greater Big 12 defenses looming ahead.

“(Kansas State) kicked our ass,” Gundy said. “The offensive line played well in this game. But in that particular area we didn’t get any movement.

“We can’t win by attempting six field goals in a game. We’re not gonna be that fortunate much more.”

sports.ed@ocolly.com

OSU coach Mike Gundy said the Cowboys aren’t going to be fortunate enough to win games if they continue to settle for field goals. OSU attempted six Friday.

Takeaways

Cowgirls’ offense continues to struggle in loss to WVU

OSU needs to reclaim its offensive groove

Oklahoma State extended its losing streak to three games in Sunday’s 1-0 loss at West Virginia.

The Cowgirls started 4-0 in conference play, beginning with a road win over Iowa State on Sept. 14. After defeating Kansas, Kansas State and Central Florida at home, the Cowgirls have dropped three consecutive road games. Here are three takeaways from Sunday.

The Cowgirls’ offense has hit a brick wall. Not only has OSU lost three consecutive games, but they’ve also been shut out in each of them. They all ended with the same final score, 1-0.

OSU recorded only three shots on goal in Sunday’s loss. The Cowgirls were outshot 12-6 by the Mountaineers, seven of which were on goal. The Cowgirls have now been outshot 32-20 in their past three games.

Team-leading goal scorers Logan Heausler and Hannah Chance have found little efficiency recently. Heausler previously scored four goals in four

games but has since failed to find the back of the net. Chance highlighted the offense with seven goals in the Cowgirls’ first five games this season but hasn’t scored a goal since Aug. 31.

OSU needs more production from both offensive playmakers.

OSU has trouble closing out games

Despite its recent offensive struggles, OSU’s defense has kept its opponents in check for the majority of the game.

However, OSU has surrendered a late goal in each of its last two matches.

Cincinnati’s Ellie Flower scored the game-winning goal in the 82nd

minute on Thursday, and West Virginia’s Taylor White in the 68th minute on Sunday.

OSU has a lot to prove as the season wraps up OSU has a challenging schedule to close out the regular season.

The Cowgirls will face Big-12 juggernauts in Brigham Young (10-1-3 overall, 3-0-3 Big 12) and Texas Tech (12-0-3, 6-0-1) next week, followed by a Bedlam match with Oklahoma. OSU must click on all cylinders to have a shot at making a deep Big-12 Tournament run.

What KSU said after the Cowboys’ win

Baylor Bryant Staff Reporter

The Oklahoma State Cowboys defeated the Kansas State Wildcats, 29-21, at home on Friday night. The Cowboys are now 3-2 on the season and 1-1 in the conference.

Here is what K-State coach Chris Klieman and the Wildcats said after the game.

Klieman on OSU’s performance

“I want to congratulate Oklahoma State. I thought they played well. I knew they were going to play well. They beat us tonight. Beat us at the line of scrimmage quite a bit.

“A couple of things really stick out. We have turned the ball over, which we can’t do. We don’t create any turnovers on defense, so it’s not like we’re getting any short fields for the offense. We give up too many big plays on defense, and we’re not getting enough explosive plays on offense.”

Klieman on OSU’s RPO in the first half

“They’ve done that in the past. They hadn’t done it yet this year a lot. But they’ve done it against us, and we struggled with them, but you are really struggling when you can’t stop the run.

“I mean, they’re creasing us for seven, eight yards a pop. You can’t hold forever on those RPO’s and so it was a combination. We were getting beat at the line of scrimmage and they were getting some good yards and then we didn’t make the plays downfield in the RPO game.

“You’re gonna give up some RPO’s but you got to tackle the guys and just once again, we just didn’t do that we’ve got to be better, and we’ve got to be better as coaches.”

K-State quarterback

Will Howard on the rushing attack against OSU

“I mean, if that’s what the defense is giving us, then we’re going to take it. I’m more than willing to do that if that’s what is asked of me and, you know, obviously we did a little bit of that tonight. It wasn’t enough, obviously to get to where we want, but at the end of the day, we just got to be better. I got to play better.”

K-State linebacker

Austin Moore on if OSU surprised them

“I mean, we expected them to come up with new stuff, we add new stuff, too. On defense, we add new stuff on offense. So, we knew there’s gonna be new things. We knew we were gonna have to adjust and be ready to see it again. So, we weren’t surprised by that.”

Kansas State coach Chris Klieman said the Wildcats gave up too many big plays on defense to the Cowboys.

Impeachment...

Continued from 1

Last week, the managers who unsuccessfully fought for Paxton’s removal from office posted dozens of pages of evidence they said they were unable to release during his impeachment trial. The address of the Paxton family’s Austin home was temporarily visible on several documents. The managers pulled them offline the morning after they were published to redact them, saying they were correcting the “mistake.”

None of the 12 lawmakers who served on the Board of Managers, including several North Texas legislators, commented Monday. Rusty Hardin, one of the private practice lawyers who prosecuted the impeachment on behalf of the managers, said Paxton’s complaints have “no merit in the law.”

“He’s going to abuse the criminal justice system to punish the people who brought him before the impeachment court,” Hardin said, calling it an abuse of power.

The Dallas Morning News asked the police, sheriff and prosecutors’ offices in Collin, Dallas and Tarrant Counties whether they’d received any complaints from Paxton. The Dallas Police Department said to reach out to the district attorney, whose spokesperson did not answer a request for comment.

A representative with the Collin County sheriff said they had not, to their best of their knowledge, received such a complaint but would not answer further questions.

“Our office will not comment on this matter. Please seek alternative sources for your story,” Sgt. Jessica Pond wrote in an email.

Proving guilt under the new law depends on the individual facts of the case.

The potential penalty is a class B misdemeanor punishable by fines and up to 180 days in jail. If someone is hurt as a result of the offense, the penalty increases to up to a year in jail. However, the law does not apply to public servants who posted to a publicly website in the performance of their official duties.

Before the new anti-doxing law went into effect last month, state statute already made it a felony to maliciously post the home address or phone number of a public servant online. It is unclear why Paxton is not filing complaints under this law. His spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

While redacted from his annual personal financial disclosures, Paxton’s home addresses are visible on local public appraisal district websites.

GOD’S WONDERFUL LOVE GIFT!

“But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.” (Ro.5:8 NLT)

One of the important foundations of our faith is the extent of God’s love for us. It is how far He would go to help us in our sinfulness. If we were to face the righteous judgment of God without his help, we all would be eternally lost; separated from God and all that is good, and it would be forever.

John 3:16 expresses that simply. “ God so loved the world! God went to great lengths to supply a way for us “not to perish;” not to be separated in eternal regret from all that is good and wonderful. It is God who took the initiative. We are so dead in our sins that we did not even see our need fully. To save us, God sent his

Son, Jesus, to die for us; to pay the penalty that was rightfully ours, so that we, humans, could go free.

What does he ask from us? When we learn (hear) the message of God’s love, of Jesus’ sacrifice for us; we trust him, admit our need(our sin), and honestly thank him for his love gift. God forgives all our sins and declares us righteous in his sight.(Ro.5:1) He also gives us a new life within. We are “born again”, and we begin a new and real relationship with God. It is a love relationship; “We love him because He first loved us.” (1 Jn.4:19)

“How great is the love the Father (God) has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!” (1 Jn.3:1 NIV) Not by any works we have done, but receiving freely Gods love gift. It is free to all!

Dehydration — it’s more than being thirsty

Laurel Kelly Mayo Clinic News Network

Water is essential to good health. Every cell, tissue and organ in your body needs water to work properly. Water is essential for maintaining your body temperature; lubricating and cushioning your joints; and getting rid of waste through urination, perspiration and bowel movements.

Dehydration occurs when you use or lose more fluid than you take in, and your body doesn’t have enough water and other fluids to carry out its normal functions. If you don’t replace lost fluids, you will get dehydrated.

Thirst isn’t always a reliable early indicator of the body’s need for water. Many people don’t feel thirsty until they’re already dehydrated. That’s why increasing water intake during hot weather or when you’re ill is important. Dehydration can lead to serious complications, including:

— Heat injury. If you don’t drink enough fluids when you’re exercising vigorously and perspiring heavily, you may end up with a heat injury, ranging in severity from mild heat cramps to heat exhaustion or potentially life-threatening heatstroke.

— Urinary and kidney problems. Prolonged or repeated bouts of dehydration can cause urinary tract infections, kidney stones and even kidney failure.

— Seizures. Electrolytes — such as potassium and sodium — help carry electrical

signals from cell to cell. If your electrolytes are out of balance, the normal electrical messages can become mixed up, which can lead to involuntary muscle contractions and sometimes to a loss of consciousness.

— Low blood volume shock (hypovolemic shock).

This is one of the most serious, and sometimes life-threatening, complications of dehydration. It occurs when low blood volume causes a drop in blood pressure and a drop in the amount of oxygen in your body.

Preventing dehydration

To prevent dehydration, drink plenty of fluids and eat foods high in water, such as fruits and vegetables. For most healthy people, letting thirst be your guide is an adequate daily guideline. Thirst isn’t always a reliable indicator of hydration, though, because when you’re thirsty, you already could be dehydrated.

But how much water do you need to drink every day?

It’s a simple question with no easy answer. Studies have produced varying recommendations over the years. The amount of water your body needs depends on many factors, including your health, how active you are and where you live.

You don’t need to rely only on water to meet your fluid needs. What you eat also provides a significant portion. For example, many fruits and vegetables, such as watermelon and spinach, are almost 100% water by weight.

In addition, beverages such as milk, juice and herbal teas are composed mostly of water. Even caffeinated drinks — such as coffee and soda — can contribute to your daily water intake. But go easy

on sugar-sweetened drinks. Regular soda, energy or sports drinks, and other sweet drinks usually contain a lot of added sugar, which may provide more calories than needed. So how much fluid does the average, healthy adult living in a temperate climate need?

The U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine determined that an adequate daily fluid intake is:

— About 15.5 cups of fluids a day for men.

— About 11.5 cups of fluids a day for women. These recommendations

cover fluids from water, other beverages and food. About 20% of daily fluid intake usually comes from food and the rest from drinks.

Treatment

The only effective treatment for dehydration is to replace lost fluids and lost electrolytes. The best approach to dehydration treatment depends on your age, the severity of dehydration and its cause.

Most adults with mild to moderate dehydration from diarrhea, vomiting or fever can improve their condition by drinking more water or other

liquids. Diarrhea may be worsened by full-strength fruit juice and soft drinks.

If you work or exercise outdoors during hot or humid weather, cool water is your best bet. Sports drinks containing electrolytes and a carbohydrate solution also may be helpful.

Children and adults who are severely dehydrated should be treated by emergency personnel arriving in an ambulance or in a hospital emergency room. Salts and fluids delivered intravenously are absorbed quickly and speed recovery.

Water is the essence of hydration but it’s also no joke.
