Stillwater’s only pool hall exceeding expectations Kaelynn Knoernschild @kaelynn_k
Your weekend bar crawl may now be filled with more shots. Shots Pool Hall, 421 S. Washington, officially opened Jan. 9 and is already more popular than the owners originally anticipated. “(Opening weekend was) a lot busier than we expected,” said Kevin Burnett, co-owner of Outlaws and Shots. “We had 200 people show up the first night; I thought we would have 20.” The 7,500-square-foot. pool hall features five large TVs mounted between popular beer emblems that adorn the walls. Twelve blue-topped Diamond pool tables fill the space, along with a bar and seating areas. The pool tables are available to rent for $5 per hour. Shots offers peanuts, chips and frozen pizzas to its customers, but Burnett said he plans to begin serving a variety of food options in the future. The bar will soon feature drink specials once a liquor license is issued, which the owners hope they receive in

the next couple of weeks. “We’re still in the learning-to-walk stage,” said Greg Cummings, owner of J.R. Murphy’s and co-owner of Outlaws and Shots. Burnett said a few more updates, including additional lighting and seating, are in the works, as well as improving the exterior of the building. Burnett said the design of Shots is original, and the owners didn’t look to any other pool halls for inspiration.
“We didn’t try to model it off of anyone else,” Burnett said. “We knew what we had as far as square footage to deal with and had an idea of what we wanted.” With the property being vacant for four years, the coowners decided it was time to start making a few dollars off of their prime real estate and began drawing up plans in June 2014. Burnett said remodeling began in August and continued throughout the fall. “We 100 percent gut-

ted (the building), took everything out of here and started from scratch,” he said. Bobbie Weide, who manages the establishment’s finances, said she estimates the renovation cost at least $200,000, which is $50,000 more than Cummings originally figured last fall. Burnett said he wants to create a casual, inviting atmosphere where people can enjoy playing pool and watching sports at Shots. “It’s a break from every-
thing that’s normal about the Strip,” said Austin Harney, a Shots employee. Burnett said he plans for the pool hall to be busy, as it is already scheduled to host tournaments and competitions. “We’re in the process of trying to get some pool leagues up and running,” Burnett said. The pool hall is accepting team applications, he said. Pool enthusiasts interested in competing can participate in tournaments
held each Sunday at 2 p.m. with registration beginning at 1 p.m. Two of the three billiards leagues in Stillwater, USA Pool League and Billiards Congress of America, have already claimed the pool hall as their practice location. In May, Shots will host the pool league playoffs for nationals in Las Vegas, and the Midwest 9-Ball Tour is scheduled for June. “Anybody in town that’s interested in seeing some, basically, professionals playing billiards, they should come check it out,” Burnett said. news@ocolly.com

OSU student who fired revolver at party charged with first-degree manslaughter Kaelynn Knoernschild @kaelynn_k
An OSU student was charged Tuesday with one count of first-degree manslaughter in connection to the death of former OSU student Alexander Vierling on Dec. 21. Police said Tristen Leanne Taylor, 18, accidentally shot and killed the 21-year-old at a party at an apartment in the 500 block of South West Street the evening of Dec. 20, 2014. Vierling showed several people at the party his revolver and removed the
cylinder and displayed the single bullet, according to the affidavit. Taylor was sitting next to Vierling on a couch and saw the .22 Magnum revolver on his left thigh, the affidavit states. Taylor had the gun in her hand and Vierling allegedly told Taylor, “You won’t shoot me with it.” Taylor pointed the gun at Vierling and the gun fired, according to the affidavit. The bullet struck Vierling in the forehead, according to the police. A witness saw Taylor holding the revolver to Vierling’s head after the shot was fired.
When police arrived, Taylor allegedly raised her hands and shouted, “I shot him. It was an accident. I thought it was a toy and he said, ‘Shoot me.’” Police noticed a “significant

She said Vierling told her not to take the gun and asked her how drunk she was. Taylor said she believed Vierling handed her the
gun. She recalled Vierling saying, “You won’t shoot me with it,” to which she replied, “It’s not real why does it even matter?” Taylor said the gun was in her hand but did not recall pointing the pistol or pulling the trigger. She said she heard a loud pop and Vierling leaned over. She said she saw blood coming from Vierling’s nose. Police said Vierling suffered a gunshot wound to the forehead.

‘The Lego Movie’
‘Gone Girl’
Let’s just give directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller the benefit of the doubt. Like the duo’s “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” and “21 Jump Street,” “The Lego Movie” proves that even the most cringe-worthy concept can lead to a special film. A family-friendly alternative to “Team America,” this self-aware action-adventure succeeds as both social commentary and as a statement on the importance of ingenuity.
David Fincher’s follow-up to “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” delves even further into the twisted side of the human mind. Although “Gone Girl” plays out like a trashy soap opera, Fincher’s direction makes for a darkly comedic indictment of tabloid journalism. Ben Affleck reinforces his acting chops; Tyler Perry — no joke — steals virtually every scene he’s in; and Rosamund Pike gives one of the most chilling performances of the year.

‘X-Men: Days of Future Past”
The latest “X-Men” movie has quickly found its place among the best of the genre. If nothing else, it’s definitely the most entertaining one I’ve seen since “The Avengers.” The film expertly balances its seemingly crowded ensemble, with each member given the appropriate amount of screen time. And though “Days of Future Past” is still a summer blockbuster, the focus remains on its characters. Mystique’s ( Jennifer Lawrence) battle with her personal demons, especially, is exceptional.
Most anticipated shows of spring 2015
HBO
AMC
FX
‘Game of Thrones’
‘Better Call Saul’
‘Louie’
The highly-anticipated HBO drama “Game of Thrones” returns for its fifth season April 12 at 9 p.m. Thrones fanatics will be able to experience the show in a whole new way long before the premier date. The final two episodes of season four have been remastered for IMAX screenings and will be showing Jan. 23-29 at select locations. Season five is the beginning of a new era for Game of Thrones. As the show closes in on George R.R. Martin’s latest plot point, episodes will soon surpass Martin’s latest novel. HBO has kept a close relationship with Martin and feels confident their idea of where the show will go won’t harm the integrity of Martin’s future novels.
“Better Call Saul” premieres on AMC on Feb. 8 at 10 p.m. The “Breaking Bad” spinoff features the show’s cocky lawyer Saul Goodman, but a younger, less arrogant version. The series is set in 2002, six years before Saul runs into Walter White and company. At this point, Saul is down on his luck and simply trying to make ends meet. Viewers will be treated to subtle, yet not overwhelming, nods to the parent show and experience an original story within a familiar universe.
Louie will return for season five at 10:30 p.m. April 9 on FX. Comedian Louis C.K. is the show’s writer, director and lead role and claims the new season will be much lighter and comedy-heavy than the fourth season. The show has always technically been a comedy, but as it progressed, the dramatic elements slowly began to define the series. He’s explained the new season will be far less dramatic with a “goofy and playful feeling.” Though fans will see more comedy, they’ll see less episodes. Season five will be a short eight episodes compared the season’s 14.

JACKIE’S 6-PACK: Surprisingly summer Jackie Dobson @OColly
The weather this week has been better than any of us could have asked for. In honor of that, I’m going to give you all something that you might have been craving for a while: a great pick of some summer beer. So sit back in your lawn chair, and enjoy this beautiful weather while you can with one of these great brews in your hand. Make sure you stock up for the inevitable return of winter.
Boulevard Wheat This is a beer I think is entirely underrated. It’s pretty commonly found on tap and is sold in most liquor stores I’ve been to in Oklahoma. It’s light, smooth and sweet. I like adding a lemon to bring out the citrusy undertones.
Santa Fe Brewing Happy Camper This is the beer of my people. The can is a New Mexico flag and the aromas of the beer scream, “Drink me on the top of the mountain.” This IPA is pretty mild as far as IPAs go, and it’s great to sip on. This is best enjoyed outdoors.
Sam Adams Summer Ale This is getting to be a rarity on the shelves of liquor stores, so hurry before they run out. This is one of my go-to beers in the summer, and its sharp, refreshing flavor will always pair well with sunshine and good friends. I love putting lemon in this beer, too.
Shiner Ruby Redbird This grapefruit/beer blend is an amazing combination and should set an example to all brewers on brewing a fruit blend. The grapefruit is there just enough for you to taste but not enough to overpower the hops us beer drinkers love.

Strongbow Cider I’m an advocate for all ciders. Every cider is awesome in its own way. This cider is wonderful in the way that it’s sweet and crisp, perfect for some awesome outdoor time. It’s refreshing enough to drink after a run and delicious enough to wash down some barbecue.

BOTA box wine
This isn’t beer, but it’s just as wonderful. I’m new to the boxed wine world, and I’m already a believer. BOTA sells small boxes of wine that have the equivalent of three glasses. My favorites so far are Cabernet Sauvignon and the Old Vine Zinfandel.

OSU ASSISTS CERN EFFORT most powerful particle accelerator, to essentially spin protons round and round at nearly the speed of light until they collide, with the hope of creating new particles. The ATLAS detector, one of two giant multi-purpose particle detectors that collect data from the collider, then find these new particles with high masses and records their energy. “We are looking for particles that haven’t existed since moments after the big bang or in stellar explosions,” said Haley. “And now we can create these things in our detectors and see what happens.”
Dr. Joe Haley, an assistant professor of physics at OSU, examines the ATLAS Detector at CERN. BY JACKSON HODGES
Oklahoma State University researchers are working at one of the world’s most famous laboratories to
discover subatomic particles that haven’t existed for billions of years. Dr. Joe Haley, an assistant professor of physics, is one of the leaders of the OSU High Energy Physics group that has joined scientists from around the world conducting research near Geneva, Switzerland, at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. “Our main goal is to sift through the data that we are collecting from the ATLAS detector to see if we can find hints of new particles,” Haley said.

Although the objective of the research is to discover new particles and create new forms of matter, the true purpose of the work is to add to what is already known about the universe, explained Haley. The team has been part of the ATLAS collaboration since 2006. OSU researchers travel to CERN two to three times per year, with two postdoctoral fellows located at CERN full time. OSU researchers are split into two categories -- experimental and theoretical. The group from OSU is responsible for a small part of the overall experiment, which involves around 3,000 scientists from every inhabited continent. The ultimate goal is something that Haley calls the “theory of everything,” a concept that explains every unanswered question in physics. To read full story visit news.okstate.edu.

Loecker receives praise after absence Jordan Bishop @Jordanbishop35
You may not see her name on the stat line or hear her name during TV and radio broadcasts. But if you go to an Oklahoma State women’s basketball game at Gallagher-Iba Arena, you will definitely notice the impact of sophomore Katelyn Loecker. She will be blocking out, allowing her teammates to rebound or creating open lanes with screens. The truth is, the 6-foot forward with the French braid is everywhere when she’s on the court. Coach Jim Littell has said on occasion Loecker is a “coach’s dream.” Teammates have reiterated Littell’s observations. Junior guard Brittney Martin said Loecker is an embodiment of the energy and spirit the Cowgirls need coming off the bench. After playing in 33 games for a team that made it to the Sweet 16 her freshman year, Loecker looked as if she were going to be a key piece for the team preparing for another run to the NCAA Tournament. In August, however, Loecker injured her shoulder in a lifting accident. After having a history of shoulder problems, the large amount of weight on the bar just proved too much for her right shoulder. She decided to get it checked out at a hospital in Oklahoma City, inevitably deciding surgery would be best. The
doctor’s initial prognosis was a timetable of six months. Loecker would have to miss most of the Cowgirls’ nonconference schedule. No. 45 said being on the sidelines was rough initially, but she felt she had to step up as a voice from courtside. “It was hard, but that was my situation, so I had to just be there for my teammates as much as I could,” Loecker said. “I would try to be positive with them if we were making mistakes and try to pick them up when they came off the floor.” While she was unable to play, the sophomore was participating in rehab after she was able to get out of her sling. She initially started using the elliptical machine and jogging to keep in shape until she was able to have fullrange of motion in her shoulder. It wasn’t until late October when she was able to start lifting again and increase her levels of conditioning, which was simultaneous to the start of the Cowgirls’ season. Following the exhibition game against Southwestern Oklahoma State on Nov. 4, Littell confirmed Loecker was on schedule to return around Christmas. Four days following the winter holiday, she did. Against Northwestern State on Dec. 29, it had been just over a week since she had been cleared to participate in contact practices. Four minutes into the game, Loecker went to the scorer’s table. After an emphatic introduction by P.A. an-
FRIDAY, JANUARY 23, 2015
nouncer Larry Reece, she got a standing ovation. On a 15-minute restraint that night, Loecker only had to play 13 in an 89-44 blowout. Afterward, she said her shoulder felt solid and didn’t have any problems. Mentally, she was a mixture of anxious, excited and nervous. “I had to tell myself it’s another basketball game — I’ve played hundreds of basketball games,” Loecker said. “I just had to relax my body and come out and play like I knew I could.” During her time on the court, she gives the Cowgirls her key element: hustle. Throughout games and practices, you will find her being the first one down the hardwood every time. “I know that I’m not going to be the most talented person on the team, so I got to outwork people,” Loecker said. “Basketball is my passion.” Littell said Loecker would do anything the coaches asked for without a complaint. Her humbleness makes her a great student of the game and a better player to coach. “She competes so hard,” Littell said. “She will reverse the ball and run your offense exactly how you want it. She will do everything she can to please the coaching staff. No question, probably the best teammate we have on the team.” Throughout her career for OSU, Loecker has a career-high of nine points, which happened last year, and a season-high of seven coming against Oklahoma

on Monday. For Loecker, the numbers don’t matter to her. Her motivation is the result at the end of the game. “I will do whatever it takes to win,” she said. “I love winning, and it’s all I really care about. I just want to do everything I can for the team. If it’s the things that you don’t see in the stats, I don’t care.” Even at a time when the Cowgirls are coming off two losses and have

dropped under .500 in conference play, Loecker’s work ethic does not waver. Describing herself as a “terrible loser,” she is extremely critical of her play and what she needs to do better. And after the losses, she is right back in the gym working on whatever she can do to help her team get better, personifying the ultimate teammate.

Big Country is one of the more legendary characters to come through Stillwater. The 7-foot, 300-pounder grew up in the small town of Gans, Oklahoma, and came to Oklahoma State in 1991. Legend has it that his OSU teammate Byron Houston coined the nickname following Reeves’ awe-struck reaction on his first plane ride. The center won over fans with his physical stature and high-energy play, as he appeared in 136 games for the Cowboys. Reeves capped off his collegiate career by leading OSU to the 1995 Final Four, averaging 21.5 points per game in 1994-95. The Vancouver Grizzlies selected him sixth overall in the 1995 NBA Draft. His first two years in the NBA were productive and earned him a massive six-year, $61.8 million contract. His best statistical year was 1997-98, and he retired during the 2001-02 season. Following his NBA career, Big Country returned to Oklahoma and now owns a cattle ranch near his hometown.
