RUNNING WOMAN Finding a new way to look at travel she could beat most of the

By LINDSAY GABLER Staff Reporter men that were running.

WednesdAY, JAnuArY 16, 2013 She grew up in an England village and has lived in six diverse different countries.

Most people wouldn’t think someone with these qualities would end up in the middle of Oklahoma.

Ruthie Loffi, administrative associate to the director of Campus Life and the assistant director of the Student Union, would watch American TV shows and wonder what it would be like to live in America.

The environment and the accents fascinated her.

She never suspected that she would actually be in American, though.

Coming from a village on the east coast of England, Loffi feels incredibly blessed to have had the experiences that she has had, along with the passions that she has acquired through her experiences.

Running for Loffi is a sport she is extremely dedicated to.

She was first introduced to running long distances when she lived in Bombay, India, which is now Mumbai, India. Residents and visitors of India who enjoyed being active could participate in an event called Hash House Harriers, an international group of non-competitive running clubs.

Loffi decided to participate and discovered that

Because of that event, she decided to explore the sport of running more thoroughly. The feeling of complete freedom and empowerment encourages Loffi to continue to run. “It’s how I relax. It’s a time to absorb God’s beautiful creation and be thankful for the gifts I’ve been given,� Loffi said. Loffi’s first race was a 5K in 1994, the first year she came to live in the United States.

She was advised to try a full marathon, and in 1995, she ran one in Houston, Texas. Since then, she has run nine marathons. Loffi has also run around 15 half-marathons and a few 10Ks and 15-mile races.

Last October, Loffi participated in her first 50K, and because of that, she has been inspired to run a 50mile race this or next year.

An event that is very close to her heart is the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon. Every year she runs either the half-marathon or the full marathon.

Loffi was living in Oklahoma City and working just seven miles away when the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building was bombed on April 19, 1995. “Two things about that event really impacted me: The callousness and brutality of the bombing, yet on the other side of that, the amazing spirit of the Oklahoman people all pulling together in a

clear demonstration of love and compassion forTHE those DAILY O’COLLEGIAN PAge around them,� Loffi said.

Another interesting fact about Loffi is that she has lived in six completely diverse countries. “My first husband worked for Halliburton as a field office manager. Not having children, it was easy to move us every two to three years,�

Loffi said.

Loffi lived in Bombay, India; New Delhi, India; Cairo, Egypt; Port Harcourt, Nigeria; Luanda, Angola; Cape Town, South Africa; and Moscow, Russia. Through moving so often, Loffi learned to be open to experiencing new environments and respecting the cultures of different countries. “I always made an effort to absorb as much as I could in each country, to be humble and appreciative of the opportunity I was given,� Loffi said.

The toughest time with moving to a different country was when she moved to India. She wanted to go home nearly every day for the first six months. “Being plucked from an PHOTO COURTESY OF RUTHIE LOFFI environment which is so fa- Ruthie has run nine marathons and 15 half-marathons and plans to run a 50-mile race soon. miliar to you that you take the mass of people everymersed myself completely beings in every part of the it for granted and placed where. in the experience and never world.

‘Jumpin’ Little Juke Joint’ celebrates 39 years

Eskimo Joe’s celebration of its 39th birthday began Monday and continues through Sunday.

By LINDSAY GABLER Staff Reporter

A restaurant and bar so widely known to provide the cheesiest cheese fries, the loudest music and the most exciting experiences is turning 39 this week.

Eskimo Joe’s, Stillwater’s Jumpin’ Little Juke Joint, began celebrating its birthday on Monday and will continue through Sunday.

The theme for Eskimo Joe’s 39th anniversary is “Dance to the Music.� Each day of the week will have exciting events and specials.

Monday kicked things off with Chad Sullins and the Last Call Coalition headlining the Folds of Honor concert. Tuesday featured Karaoke Night.

Wednesday, the new Eskimo Joe’s and Pistol Pete design will be unveiled at noon. Later Wednesday

evening, Joe’s will host a Celebrity Waiter Night with OSU’s Coaches vs.

Cancer. Thursday will be double trouble with Kids Night and Ladies Night.

Friday night will have face painting and many drink specials. Saturday will open with the Kids’

Carnival with face painting, water rides, snow cones, a petting zoo and more. There will also be the release of a new T-shirt that benefits the Humane Society. That night will end with a concert from Jonathan Tyler.

Sunday, the last day of the celebration, will provide complimentary birthday cake and cupcakes, complimentary popcorn and Dustin the Twisted Balloon Guy from noon - 3 p.m. “It’s been 39 years since Eskimo Joe’s first opened its doors as a 900 square feet bar and now the restaurant and retail footprint encompasses 28,000 square feet,� said Stan Clark, CEO and founder of Eskimo Joe’s. “It’s amazing to think how this place has transformed over the years and we’re grateful to the fans who’ve helped in our success!�

Clark and original partner Steve File tore down an old barn and used the wood to help remodel the stone building at 501 W. Elm Ave. in the summer of 1975.

They bought mismatched furniture, pieced together

a stereo from home and opened for business with a passion to serve the coldest beer in town, play red-hot tunes and to treat individuals so well they can’t believe it.

That concept took hold, and today the juke joint has evolved into not only a partying hot spot, but also an OSU fan hub and family-oriented tourist attraction that serves over 7,000 plates of cheese fries every month.

Its reputation and outreach can be seen throughout the nation and elsewhere in the Eskimo Joe’s shirts, at times gracing the torsos of people who haven’t been to the restaurant.

A Joe’s anniversary celebration would not be complete without a commemorative T-shirt. The Eskimo Joe’s 39th Anniversary T-shirt is available at Eskimo Joe’s Clothes World Headquarters in Stillwater, at Woodland Hills Mall in Tulsa, by phone at 800-256-JOES (5637) or online at www. eskimojoes.com. news@ocolly.com

Q-and-A: Summer wrestling update

By TIM AHRENS Editor-in-Chief

The summer is a time for athletes participating in fall sports to start preparing for another season of play.

Oklahoma State football players report on July 31 and will have their first day of practice on August 1.

The Cowgirl soccer team’s exhibition at SMU on August 16 is merely a month away.

Wrestling won’t begin until November, but OSU’s wrestling room is already filled with the sounds of bodies hitting the floor and wrestlers grappling each other.

The 2014-15 season will include home duals with Iowa and Penn State, the four-time defending national champions. Coach John Smith provided an update on how new wrestlers are fitting in, as well as what those returning are doing.

Q: What does the offseason entail for wrestlers?

Smith: For us, a lot of it is kinda maintaining our strength. You’d like to see guys maintain their weight, sometimes that’s not the case. Most of our guys come in on their own, put an hour on the mat and are lifting three days a week. It’s just trying to maintain a level of conditioning and not letting your body completely slip into poor conditioning.

Q: Former wrestlers Tyler Caldwell and Chris Perry have wrestled well recently. Caldwell was

crowned a world champ at 74 kgs at the University World Championships in Pecs, Hungary, and Perry won silver at 86 kgs.

What are they doing now that they don’t wrestle for OSU any longer?

Smith: They’ll continue to train; their goal is to win a senior world championship, and it’s a good start for both of them. For Chris that was disappointing, he felt like he was the better wrestler that didn’t have the match he needed to have. But it was a good experience for both of them, facing several foreigners. They’ll continue to chug along and work towards 2016.

Q: When do incoming freshmen report and begin to train?

Smith: Most of our freshmen are in, they’re in summer bridge and doing really well. I’m really high on this group from the standpoint of character and discipline. It’s been a real promising summer with these guys. I like the group, I like the character of the group. I know we have a tendency to get a little excited early. We’ve got to see them grind out through school and practice during the academic year, but it looks good right now.Just in general, all of them have looked pretty solid. Chandler Rogers has been a nice surprise, he’s a kid who can grind some situations out. Obviously for those guys, they’re preparing for junior nationals which is

in a week. All of them look pretty good.

Q: How’s Chance Marsteller, the No. 1 overall recruit, looking to you?

Smith: Chance is coming off of a back injury, so he’s kind of slowly getting back on the mat. His conditioning’s not where it needs to be, but in time it should get there.

Q: Alex Dieringer won the national title at 157 pounds last year, what is he working on in the summer?

What about Josh Kindig, who finished runner-up at 149 pounds?

Smith: Dieringer’s been traveling around and working in different areas,

Summer concert series enters eighth year

PHOTO COURTESY OF SHEERAR MUSEUM

The summer concert series is held on Fridays through Aug. 8.

By AMELIA HENDERSON Staff Reporter

Mahlon Halleck is responsible for one of Stillwater’s more artistic events, the Cool Classics Summer Concert Series, that draws audiences during the hot summer months.

Halleck, a local string instructor, came up with the idea of starting a summer concert series in 2007. Due to the lack of cultural activities, Halleck wanted to start this unique summer concert series to give performers the chance to showcase their talents during the slower summer months of July and August.

When Halleck first started the Cool Classics Summer Concert Series, it only lasted three weeks; with much progress and recognition, this summer concert now lasts almost five weeks long and is going into its eighth season.

With 60 years of experience performing the violin and viola, Halleck still occasionally performs at the Cool Classics Summer Concert Series. Although Halleck is still involved with the Cool Classics Summer Concert Series, the Sheerar Museum of Stillwater History now puts on this concert with assistance from the Oklahoma

Arts Council with funding.

Charles Barraclough, the assistant director of the Sheerar Museum, spoke about this year’s featured artists and details of the concert series.

“Appassionata is a couple from the Tulsa area,” Barraclough said. “They do a variety of music, like classical, all the way to Michael Jackson and Guns N Roses.

All in which are interesting to hear on the harp and viola.”

The Cool Classics Summer Concert Series is held at the Sheerar Cultural and Heritage Center Auditorium, which is located at 702 S. Duncan St. in Stillwater.

The Sheerar Museum of Stillwater History announced the eighth annual Cool Classics Summer Concert Series, beginning July 11, and each Friday through Aug. 8, at the Sheerar Cultural and Heritage Center Auditorium.

There are five performers this year: MORGAN on Friday, Trio Aleszky on July 25, Edgar Cruz on Aug. 1, and Twelve Tone on Aug. 8.

All concerts begin at 7:30 p.m. and last about an hour. Each concert is free and is followed by a reception. One of the most unique aspects about this concert series is that the artists and the audience are allowed to interact.

“The purpose is to greet the artists and have questions for them,” Barraclough said. “That’s one of my favorite parts about the series, is they come and talk with the audience.” news@ocolly.com

doing some clinics and camps. He’s getting bigger and will move up a weight, possibly two. He’s preparing for that.

Josh is just maintaining right now; he’s lifting and getting on the mat about three or four days a week.

I think this a time to get better and work on some things, and Josh has done that all summer long.

Again, he’s working; these guys have got to work and make money. And every chance to do a clinic, they’re doing clinics. Of course there’s certain rules

by NCAA that we got to follow with those clinics and camps, and we keep a pretty close eye on them while they do it. sports@ocolly.com

‘Purge’ sequel hopes to fulfill original’s potential

By BRANDON SCHMITZ Entertainment Reporter

“Dawn” opened to nearly $73 million domestically in its first weekend.

‘Dawn’ carries predecessor’s momentum

By BRANDON SCHMITZ Entertainment Reporter

This year has seen more than its fair share of stellar sequels to beloved films, including “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” “22 Jump Street,” “How to Train Your Dragon 2” and “X-Men: Days of Future Past.”

Fortunately, this alarming streak does not appear to be ending anytime soon – not if “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” has anything to say about it.

Directed by Matt Reeves (“Cloverfield”), this sequel to 2011’s “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” jumps ten years ahead, with humanity struggling to overcome the effects of a devastating virus.

Meanwhile, Caesar (Andy Serkis) leads a nation of genetically evolved apes. A truce is set between the two groups, although it quickly proves to be fragile at best.

Although the first film provided a glimpse of ape society, it is “Dawn’s” primary focal point. Within one decade, Caesar and his people have built a culture, a school – even a veritable fortress.

None of these aspects venture too far into the fantastical, however, as the apes still communicate largely through sign language.

All of this is elevated by the exceptional motioncapture CGI technology, which is consistently used as a storytelling tool, rather than a crutch.

Virtually all of the named apes possess a distinct appearance and personality, while delivering more pathos through subtle facial expressions and hand motions than any of the movie’s spoken dialogue.

After watching “Rise,” it was difficult to imagine a more nuanced portrayal of Caesar himself, but Serkis manages to outdo himself.

Although he has settled into his leadership role, Caesar is visibly conflicted throughout much of the film. Additionally, the writers take several chances with the character that I did not see coming.

Unlike the first film, which possessed a solid but noticeably weaker human element in James Franco, “Dawn’s” non-CGI cast – while still comprised of supporting roles – shines.

Jason Clarke’s Malcolm, while optimistic, is never obnoxiously naive, as he is fully aware of the potential threat.

And though Gary Oldman’s presence as Dreyfus is fairly minimal, he, despite being an antagonist, is only concerned for the survival of his people.

Similarly to “Days of Future Past,” “Dawn” is that rare tent-pole movie that is more character-driven than it is action-heavy.

That said, the film’s few large-scale battles are remarkable, with one in particular featuring a jittery documentary style a la “Saving Private Ryan.”

Michael Giacchino’s (“Up,” “Star Trek”) score is also refreshing, ditching the Hans Zimmer-esque “waaahs” – which, don’t get me wrong, I love when used sparingly – in favor of something more akin to John Williams’ “Star Wars” work. It’s straight out of classic Hollywood.

Perhaps the quietest blockbuster in recent memory, “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” excels through its morally gray characters. And though Serkis continues his trend of excellence set by “Lord of the Rings’” Gollum, the rest of the motion-capture ensemble is almost equally mesmerizing.

It’s the antithesis of “Transformers.”

The follow-up to last summer’s “The Purge” is set to hit theaters this weekend, although, given the reception of the mediocre first installment, most – myself included – will likely approach it with cautious optimism.

With director James DeMonaco back at the helm, “The Purge: Anarchy” is appropriately set one year after the events of the original.

America’s annual Purge, a night where all crime – including murder – is legal for 12 hours, kicks off just as a young couple’s car breaks down. While fleeing from a group of masked attackers, they and three others must work together to survive the night.

The first film, starring Ethan Hawke (“Gattaca,” “Training Day”) and Lena Headay (“300,” “Game of Thrones”) had an intriguing premise, attempting to be a suspenseful thriller with elements of social allegory.

Certainly, a society that is without crime for all but 12 hours each year is worth investigating.

However, by the end of the first act, “The Purge” devolved into a generic home-invasion film with few thrills and even less acknowledgment of the ideas it had initially presented.

Being confined to a single house did little to

explore the societal effects of the Purge. “Anarchy,” thankfully, takes the unsettling American tradition to the streets, with strangers being forced to rely on each other for survival.

And though the cast is full of relative unknowns, Frank Grillo provided an uneasy gruffness in “Captain America: The Winter Soldier.” The guy should feel right at home in this

SPECIAL $100SPECIAL

sequel.

I am not convinced that, under DeMonaco’s direction, “The Purge: Anarchy” will set the franchise on the right track, but the addition of Grillo, as well as the broader scope, gives me some hope.

Again, cautious optimism, folks. news@ocolly.com

Wings of Hope’s butterflies serve to remind

By ALYSSA GREGORY Staff Reporter

Fluttering around Stillwater, the Wings of Hope butterflies do more than beautify the surroundings.

They symbolize hope and remind the community that there is a place to go when home isn’t safe anymore.

In 2011, local artists painted 26 butterflies as an awareness and fundraiser project. They now hover around Stillwater and can be found at Oklahoma State University, churches, businesses and other locations.

“The butterfly symbolizes hope, new life, and growth through its caterpillar to butterfly transformation,” said Brenda Gills, senior counselor. “These are all things we desire for our clients and their families.”

The bright colors and detailed scenes on each butterfly catch the eyes of passers-by.

“My favorite butterfly

is located at Sunnybrook Christian Church,” said Melissa Oliver, senior counselor. “I love the design of this sculpture because of the bright, happy colors and numerous scenes depicted on the wings such as a bird, a church, and butterfly.

“I also like the location of the butterfly because community members can easily walk up to it and really appreciate the detailed artwork from up close.”

Twenty more locally painted butterflies will land around Stillwater in six months, with the dream that one day they will be dotted across all the counties Wings of Hope serves.

Covering Payne, Lincoln, Logan, Noble, and Pawnee counties, Wings of Hope’s purpose is to provide safety, hope and empowerment to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking. Services include counseling, shelter, childcare, advocacy, 24/7 crisis hotline, protective order

assistance and much more.

Within the year, Wings of Hope sheltered 63 women and 84 children, aided 299 victims with counseling and helped 273 victims file protective orders, Oliver said. She has worked with Wings of Hope for two years.

“It is apparent that our services are vital to the Stillwater community as evidenced not only by the number of people we serve, but also the stories they tell,” Oliver said. “We hear many heartbreaking stories but we also see incredible stories of resilience and survival – and that makes it all worth it.”

Anyone can make a difference by volunteering at Wings of Hope in childcare, graphic design, event planning or at the victim shelter. To volunteer or purchase or paint a butterfly, contact Wings of Hope at 405-372-9922 or by email at info.sdvs.org. news@ocolly.com
