Early voting in Payne County started Thursday and will continue through Saturday.

Early primary voting begins Ale x Sloan P o l i tics Rep orter @ sloan _al ex

Registered voters of Payne County may cast their Super Tuesday ballots early at the Payne County Election Board this week.

In-person absentee voting, commonly known as early voting, will be available at the Payne County election board Thursday through Saturday. The election board will be open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday and Friday and from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday.

In addition to in-person absentee voting, registered voters in Oklahoma have the option of requesting an absentee ballot through the mail.

The deadline to request mail absentee ballots was Wednesday, and the ballots must be received by the county election board by 7 p.m. March 3.

All registered Payne County voters have the opportunity to participate in this election in regards to a Payne County resolution reforming the county’s alcohol laws.

Only voters registered as Democrats, Republicans or Independents may participate in the Presidential Primary. Democrats and Independents may vote in the Democratic primary, while only registered Republicans can vote in the Republican primary.

Dondee Klein, secretary at the Payne County Election Board, said early voting is for everyone, not just people who can’t make it out to the polls on Super Tuesday.

“A lot of times, people will say ‘this line is a lot less than the one at my polling place,’” Klein said. “You do not have to have a reason to do that, to vote early or by mail.

Either one of those are just for your convenience.”

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2020

Voters who wanted to vote by mail applied for an absentee ballot on the Oklahoma State Election Board’s website or filled out an application in person at the county election board.

Absentee ballots, whether cast by mail or in person, are the first ballots counted in the election.

“When we get the numbers off of our machine, it counts the absentees as a precinct,” Klein said. “They’re the first ones counted on election night, because they’re ready at seven, where the other polls are just closing down at seven.”

The last opportunity to cast a ballot in this election will be on Super Tuesday, March 3, at designated polling locations.

Voters can check their registration and find their polling place through the Oklahoma State Election Board’s website.

Coronavirus forces University to rethink study abroad Elli e Meler o N e ws Ed ito r @ ele an or _ m el er o

Students going abroad for spring break can breathe a little easier; Oklahoma State University will not cancel all of its spring break study abroad programs, Randy Kluver said following an information gathering session Thursday.

The session was called following Tuesday’s announcement that the Center for Disease Control has issued travel advisories for Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Iran and Italy. Kluver, the dean of the School of Global Studies and Partnerships, said the University will cancel all spring break study abroad programs to places the CDC has given a level three travel advisory, but there has been no official decision concerning the other programs.

The University has asked faculty in charge of spring break study abroad programs to prepare risk assessment reports for each of their programs to be turned in by Wednesday. The University will then start making decisions regarding each program after reviewing the assessments. The University will not make any decisions about summer programs until the end of March.

“We will not send students into a coronavirus hotspot,” Kluver said. “Any place that’s under State Department level three or CDC level three, we will not send students into those zones.

“We are asking faculty, ‘Is it possible to reconfigure

your trip, if you’re planning to go there, to redirect?’”

Just because there is an outbreak in a country doesn’t mean all programs to that country will be canceled. For example, all trips to Milan, Italy, will be canceled because it has been given a level three advisory, but the fates of trips to Rome are undecided.

Kluver said any decisions made following the assessments will not be final because the coronavirus situation is constantly changing.

“Our clear message to the faculty is, ‘We will respond immediately once the map changes,’” Kluver said.

Kaitlyn Cole is supposed to go with the College of Arts and Sciences to Europe in May. The program is supposed to go to England, France, Switzerland and Italy, and Cole said she’s concerned the program will be canceled.

“I’m a little upset because I’ve put a lot of money toward this,” Cole said.

“I’ve planning basically my summer and all of my plans from now until the end of the summer around this trip. But I also understand it could be my life or death.”

The program costs $5,000, and Cole said she has paid about $3,500 already.

For students whose programs do get canceled, the University will try minimize the money students lose.

Following last year’s Boeing 737 Max bans, OSU started an emergency fund to help defray costs in case

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2020

more study abroad trips get canceled, but Kluver warned the fund doesn’t have much money because it’s still fairly new.

OSU is not the only university to consider suspending study abroad programs. The University of Oklahoma announced Wednesday it has suspended travel to countries impacted by the coronavirus. Elon University in North Carolina suspended its program in Florence, Italy, and the University of Tennessee’s Center for Global Engagement has suspended all spring and summer study abroad programs to China and South Korea.

In January, OSU suspended all university-sponsored travel to China after the U.S. Department of State and the CDC issued travel warnings for China. Since then, the coronavirus has spread to 47 countries, including the first confirmed case in Latin America in Brazil.

On Wednesday, the CDC confirmed a person in California with no known exposure to the virus tested positive for the disease, which may be the first case of community spread in the United States.

There are no confirmed cases of coronavirus in Oklahoma.

Laurence Burnsed, an Oklahoma State Department of Health epidemiologist, encouraged people to listen to travel advisories in a statement Tuesday.

“As public health officials, our goal is to reduce the risk of contracting the

virus and returning to the United States after traveling to a destination where the virus is being spread from person-to-person,” Burnsed said. “The immediate health risk to the general American public is still low.”

University Health Services is monitoring the coronavirus, and it encourages people to follow basic precautions to avoid the spread of illness, such as washing hands and avoiding contact with sick people, according to its website.

“We’re really trying to respond,” Kluver said.

“Number one, the security and safety of our students is top priority.

“This is really our first and foremost priority is making sure that students are safe, but we really do want them to understand the world they live in as well.”

OSU decided it will not cancel all spring break study abroad programs in the wake of the coronavirus, but there is still a possibility some programs will be canceled.

McKnight Center entices international talent to ‘flyover state’ Z ach Go shor n S taff Repo rter @ z achxgo s h

The Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, led by music director and Grammy award winning violinist Joshua Bell, brought its prestigious sound to Stillwater on Wednesday and Thursday evening.

The performance is part of the McKnight Center’s inaugural season, which has brought top of the line talent to Stillwater.

Mark Blakeman, the Marilynn and Carl Thoma executive director of the McKnight Center, said bringing the Academy of St. Martin to Oklahoma State was an integral part to creating the precedentsetting season.

“They were simply going to tour the east coast, and then they were going to fly to the west coast to tour. We were going to be a flyover state,” Blakeman said. “We enticed them to make a stop in the Midwest. They have come here specifically to be a part of our inaugural season.”

The Academy of St. Martin is the most recorded orchestra in the world with 753 albums and counting, including recording on the soundtrack for the 1984 Oscar-winning film “Amadeus.” Joshua Bell, who directs the orchestra while also performing, is a world-renowned violinist and recipient of several notable awards,

“The Paganini with him as the soloist was absolutely the best. I play the violin, and I don’t even know how he did that.”

Robin Terronez including a Mercury and Grammy Award.

For its first night in the McKnight Center, the Academy performed pieces from Mozart, Nicolò Paganini and Johannes Brahms. The orchestra, which contained less than 60 musicians, featured Joshua Bell as what is called a ‘play-conduct,’ where the musician conducts and performs simultaneously. This proved no problem for Bell as he mastered both sides of the performance.

To watch Bell perform is an art of its own.

Whether he’s playing the violin with the orchestra, conducting with his bow or playing a solo piece, every movement he makes is animated and expressive on a level that exudes passion. Robin Terronez, who was in attendance for the performance, said Bell’s solo piece was her favorite part of the performance.

“The talent was unbelievable,” Terronez said.

“I felt the performance.

Them being able to come

to the McKnight Center added so much to the culture and music here, and Joshua Bell is just over the top talented. The Paganini with him as the soloist was absolutely the best. I play the violin, and I don’t even know how he did that.”

The Paganini piece, “Violin Concerto No. 1 in D major, Op. 6,” includes a long, extremely difficult violin solo that Bell made quick work of, bringing sounds out of his legendary 1713 Stradivarius violin that are seemingly inconceivable.

Even with two nights of a nearly full house, Mark Blakeman said it is possible that they will be back in Stillwater at a future time.

“We plan to bring amazing orchestras every season to the McKnight Center, and they’re certainly one of the finest from Europe, so I think there is every possibility that they’ll come back,” Blakeman said. “Joshua Bell also does a lot of performing away from the Academy of St. Martin as a chamber musician and feature soloist, and he often puts together tours with other artists doing duos and trios and things like that. It’s quite possible that we could see Joshua back at some point soon without the Academy.”

The McKnight Center is set to announce their new 2020-2021 season lineup this Saturday at noon.

Reeves brings Cowboys together Laurent experiences highs and “This is that opportunity H allie Hart lows of basketball in Stillwater of a lifetime, to be here and S taf f R epo rt er @ h allieha rt

The highlight of Trey Reeves’ career happened at Arkansas his sophomore season.

The Oklahoma State men’s basketball team fell to the Razorbacks 66-65, but Cowboy walk-on Reeves had an opportunity to play.

In front of a crowd that included several of his family members, Reeves made a layup in the paint, extending OSU’s lead to 24-11 about midway through the first half.

Reeves listed that moment as one of his favorite memories as a Cowboy, along with earning a scholarship spot his junior year. The two points against Arkansas have been the only points of his career, but the impact he makes on his team is something no stat sheet can summarize.

Senior guard Lindy Waters III described the gluelike role Reeves has among his teammates.

“He’s kind of like the backbone,” Waters said. “We all have different functions that are important, but he’s the one that really holds us together.”

The Cowboys will recognize Reeves as one of six seniors when OSU faces Iowa State on Saturday afternoon in Gallagher-Iba Arena. Although Reeves has never played more than six minutes in a game as a Cowboy, he is an upbeat leader who provides his teammates with the voice of encouragement they need.

to be playing at Oklahoma State, and something not a whole lot of people get to do,” Reeves said. “So I’ve always taken the approach that I’m going to enjoy it and going to do everything in my power to help the team, no matter what that may be.”

During Reeves’ first summer practicing with the Cowboys, he was thrilled about the everyday aspects of playing basketball at OSU. He could step into the locker room and find a locker with his name on it. He could put on a jersey that represents his father’s alma mater. He could go to Gallagher-Iba Arena any time he wanted to put up some shots or work out.

“It was a dream come true,” Reeves said.

Throughout his life, Reeves has proudly worn his love for OSU like it’s a favorite T-shirt. At Muldrow High School, his rival schools had orange-and-black color schemes, but that didn’t stop him from sporting Cowboys apparel.

“I wore more orange than probably everybody else in the school combined, all the way from preschool all the way through my last day of high school,” Reeves said.

Reeves said the way his family raised him gives him motivation to embrace his role as the guy who will always be there to pick up his teammates and give them confidence. He said his parents have consistently urged him to give his best effort in whatever he does, and he takes their advice seriously

OSU forward Trey Reeves’ impact on the Cowboys is something no stat sheet can show.

from the gym to the classroom, which has led him to earn Senior of Significance honors at OSU. Reeves’ dedication to lifting his friends’ spirits shows when he interacts with teammates such as Waters. When Waters had difficult games, he said he turned to Reeves for high fives and pep talks during timeouts.

“It’s just those little things that just keep it going,” Waters said.

Coach Mike Boynton said Reeves made him realize leadership isn’t about age or skill. Instead, it revolves around traits such as heart and work ethic, qualities that endear Reeves to not only his coaches and teammates but also to the Cowboy fan base.

“My approach has just been to let it spread, to let that attitude take precedent over every aspect of my life,” Reeves said. “Try to help the team, try to do the best in the classroom, try to be a great teammate, a great friend to my friends, a great family member. Just try to allow that to shine through in all aspects.”

Jonathan Laurent’s lone season at Oklahoma State didn’t go as planned.

A lot of graduate transfers, especially from lower levels, want to find a key role on a big stage in order to get as much pro exposure as possible.

Laurent was different.

He just wanted to win.

Except the Cowboys weren’t as successful as they had hoped.

“His main goal was to be part of a program where he got along with his teammates, where he could have success and play in the postseason,” OSU coach Mike Boynton said. “I’m sure he was frustrated, but he didn’t let his frustrations change the way he approached the team.”

Laurent summed up his Cowboy experience in a few words: highs and lows.

He played sparingly early in the season when OSU had its most success. When he needed to play more minutes during the losing streak, Laurent wasn’t overly effective because he was still finding his role on the team.

But Laurent started to find his groove as the season has gone along.

As the Cowboys began to adopt an inside-out offensive philosophy, Laurent’s play has improved drastically.

OSU forward Jonathan Laurent has created a second home in Stilllwater.

He wants to just enjoy the moment with his senior season nearing completion.

“It’s a sad feeling it’s all coming to an end,” Laurent said. “College basketball was a great experience, and I’m just gonna enjoy every single moment (of the last few games). I love this.”

Laurent spent his first two seasons at Rutgers.

He then transferred to UMass, playing there for a year after sitting out a season to redshirt.

Because of that redshirt season, he still identifies with UMass the most as a college basketball player.

“I transferred there

with four sit-outs so we were everywhere together,” Laurent said. “I would say that two-year bond where we really stuck together, that was my strongest bond since I’ve been in college.”

Despite only being in Stillwater for a year, OSU has become part of his identity.

He regrets that fans didn’t have more time to get to know him, but he is thankful for how welcoming they and the team have been.

“Everyone embraced me with open arms,” Laurent said. “(OSU) is always gonna be a home for me.”

Los Angeles Times Daily Crossword Puzzle Edited by Rich Norris and Joyce Lewis

Beck Gillespie/ O’Colly

Oklahoma songwriters sit down with aspiring writers to share their experience and ideas.

Aspiring songwriters come together B r eck G ille s p ie S taff Repo rter @ B r eckGil l es p ie

Rick Reiley, a songwriter from Cushing, said the only thing he wanted to do since he was able to hold a pen was write, igniting his passion to write songs.

On Wednesday, Oklahoma State University’s Allied Arts and the Red Dirt Relief Fund teamed up to help bring iconic red dirt musicians, such as Reiley, to campus for a songwriting workshop.

The popular red dirt genre has deep roots in Stillwater.

Bands such as Cross Canadian Ragweed got their start in Stillwater, and the genre has been popularized by many local bands.

The Red Dirt Relief Fund is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping Oklahoma musicians in need. Every year the organization hosts a fundraising event called Gypsy Cafe. The event will feature close to 60 Oklahoma singer-songwriters.

The third annual Jimmy LaFave Songwriting Contest is a part of the event. Winners receive a cash prize,

a donation to the Red Dirt Relief Fund in their name and a chance to perform at the Gypsy Cafe festival.

Entries are due March 1, and the contest is open to any unsigned Oklahoma songwriter.

John Cooper of the band Red Dirt Rangers began the workshop by inviting musicians to share their songwriting process.

“Songwriting itself is kind of a magical thing,” Cooper said. “It’s hard to describe.

You have to work at it to do it right. Put your heart and soul into it. Don’t try to pull yourself out, pour yourself in.”

Reiley prefers the stream of consciousness approach.

“Sometimes, after three or four pages of that, a spark will come and something will come from that,” Reiley said. “Great songs are everywhere.”

Bo Phillips, of the Bo Phillips Band, gets his inspiration from things that touch his heart and mind.

“Everything that I do, as far as writing, has to be something that has touched me in a way that makes me go, ‘Oh,’” Phillips said.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2020

“Write what you know and it will touch someone.”

The musicians were happy to help provide advice to aspiring songwriters, like children and family services senior Marissa Ibarra-Reyes.

Ibarra-Reyes came to the event to regain her inspiration for songwriting. They pointed her in the direction of events she could attend and gave her advice.

Gene Collier, writer of the famous song “Boys from Oklahoma,” grew up listening to his dad play guitar. Collier recommends that aspiring songwriters test their songs on themselves.

“Become your own audience,” Collier said. “If you do that, you’ll be a player until you die.”

He recommends looking to unusual stories for inspiration. He once wrote a song based on the musicians of the infamous Titanic and has also used films to inspire him.

“Music is as close to magic as human beings can get,” Collier said. “There’s magic in music. Music is magic. What a great thing we’re part of.”
