Crockett remembered for ‘heart of gold’ Kassie McClung @KassieMcClung

Jacob Andrew Crockett loved music and making people smile more than anything else. He was a vocalist in the metal band “HuriK,” and when he wasn’t immersed in music, he surrounded himself with family and friends. Crockett was killed in a homicide on Oct. 29 in a west Stillwater apartment. The Stillwater resident was 19. “He was, in all reality, a real happy kid with a heart of gold and a big smile,” said longtime friend Nokose Foley. “He was always ready, if you had any troubles going on, to sit down and talk with you.” Foley met Crockett and his twin brother, Jesse, between classes at Stillwater High School in 2011. Foley hit it off with the brothers and soon formed a strong friendship with Crockett. He was friendly to everyone he met. “Once you decided to be nice to him and talk to

him, he would hit it off with whoever would really get to know him,” Foley said. Crockett was born in Tulsa to Ben and Ky Crockett on July 31, 1995. He attended school in Chandler and graduated from Stillwater High School. Darcie Wilson, who watched Crockett and his brother grow up in Chandler, said he was full of ambition and liked to make people laugh. Wilson grew up with two younger brothers, who are also identical twins, and said she felt like she were an older sister to four boys. “(Crockett) has had a crush on me since he was like 12,” she said. “And when I got married, he sent my husband a message on Facebook and he was like, ‘You may have married her bro, but she’s been mine since I was 12. I have dibs.’ So, he’s a silly kid.” After Crockett graduated high school, he enrolled at Northern Oklahoma College. NOC primarily serves a gateway program to serve students who otherwise not be admitted to Oklahoma State University. The college

also admits students seeking general education courses. In the interest of his love for animals, Crockett was studying to become a veterinarian. He also worked as a customer service representative at Carmike Cinema and was a member of Life Church in Stillwater. Foley said he admired Crockett’s eagerness to grasp each day. One morning, Foley awoke to Crockett shaking him awake because he wanted to begin the day and go on a walk. When the pair arrived to Couch Park in Stillwater, they stopped to talk about music, girls and school. “At one point (Crockett) said, ‘You know what, Nokose, no matter what happens, you know I’m always going to stick around, right?’” Foley said. “And I said, ‘Bro, you better be careful with that, you know. Something might happen.’ And he said ‘No, I’m serious. No matter what happens, I’ll always stick around. Bros till the end. Don’t worry about it.’” Crockett was close to his family and was dedicated to Jesse. He and his family

were always ready to offer help to people in a time of need. “He always tried to help people if someone had been kicked out of their house or their life had been turned upside down,” said Will Pinckney, Crockett’s cousin. “(His family) would always open their house for people like that. They always tried

O’COLLY

to help people.” Crockett will be remembered best for his willingness to help others, his love of music and his desire to make others happy. His funeral was held Monday afternoon at Life Church in Stillwater. “I want people to look at him as someone who you could be proud to

say was your best friend; someone who was fun to hang out with, fun to talk to, always smiling, always willing to give you a hug and someone who just had a heart of gold,” Foley said. “Even though it sounds like a cliché, he was a good, Christian boy.” news@ocolly.com

OSU leads the way in drone research cause UAVs are the fastest growing sector of the aviation industry with a projection of 80 percent to be used in future agriculture, Jacob said. Oklahoma is in a great position to develop the industry, and OSU will provide the workforce the industry needs, said Stephen McKeever, Oklahoma secretary of science and technology and director of OSU’s National Energy Solutions Institute. “OSU is one of the leading universities doing research and education for young people in this area,” McKeever said. “We are providing technology development through research and on the other hand providing future workforce.” Jacob said the graduate program is a success because of the foundation laid by Andrew Arena, T.J. Cunningham Endowed Chair and professor. OSU recently teamed up with other leading universities across the country to be named a Federal Aviation Administration Center of Excellence for UAS and is still awaiting

Savannah Evanoff @SavannahEvanoff

When people hear “drone,” their heads fill with unsettling thoughts like missiles, attacks and warfare. But at Oklahoma State University, they are called UAVs ­— unmanned aerial vehicles — and are used for purposes such as agriculture, meteorology and emergency response. Jamey Jacob, professional engineer and OSU professor, explained that a standard drone has a wingspan of approximately 6 feet and consists of the aircraft, ground control station, autopilot, communication system and payloads carried by the vehicle. “There is always a pilot involved,” Jacob said. “He just happens to be on the ground.” In 2011, OSU began offering a master’s degree in mechanical and aerospace engineering with an option to specialize in unmanned aerial systems. This was great timing be-

the results. “We have a very strong hands-on program that requires students to build and test things,” Jacob said. About 40 people research various aspects of UAS. One project focuses on emergency-response efforts. “What I am working on is developing a UAV for the use in fire protection

or basically emergency response for firemen,” said Fred Keating, a student in the program. If drones were allowed to operate after an emergency, cell coverage could quickly be restored, said Thomas Hays, a Ph.D. candidate who performs UAV propulsion research. They could generate and update maps of the affected areas and airlift

supplies when clogged or destroyed roads prevent access. “The drone is not going to save your life any time soon, but it will make the people who are trying to save you much more effective at doing so,” Hays said. Another graduate student, Taylor Mitchell, is working on a project coordinated by the De-

partment of Energy. He called the project’s goal as a double win. “... The idea is to detect carbon dioxide leaks,” Mitchell said. “It increases the amount of oil you get and reduces greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.” Other areas of research focus on aircraft design and performance. news@ocolly.com

Calhoun, McKnight anchor Cowgirls’ defense

TREVOR GREER/O’COLLY

Natalie Calhoun is known for her speed and intelligence at centerback.

Hayden Barber @officialbuber Texas born and Texas raised, Natalie Calhoun and Niki McKnight solidify the Cowgirls’ back end due to their long-lasting bond. “Me and Niki have known each other since we were 9,” Calhoun said. “We know each other (well). We know each others’ style of play.” Oklahoma State’s two centerbacks grew up just 20 minutes away from each other and played on the same club team. The two complement each other. McKnight is strong, physical,

a leader. Calhoun is fast, intelligent, an opportunist. Cowgirl goalkeeper Rosa Medina has six clean stat sheets this year, but that would not be the case if it were not for Calhoun and McKnight. Oklahoma State coach Colin Carmichael raves on the Dallas-area partnership. “I wouldn’t say they are untouchable, but they look great,” Carmichael said. There is always something to be said for chemistry, especially at the centerback position in the Cowgirls’ 4-3-3 formation. With the back end cleaned up from last year when OSU recorded only five shutouts, the rest of the team is free

to play and not stress the defensive too often. Physicality was Carmichael’s message throughout the preseason, and McKnight has helped make that come true. McKnight, injured all of last season, is a redshirt freshman this year alongside the sophomore Calhoun. It was uncertain where exactly McKnight would play coming into this year. With a great deal of injuries plaguing the Cowgirls, there was a significant need for an attacking force to compliment Courtney Dike. Nevertheless, after a quality performance against Oklahoma in the season opener, as well as her per-

sonal dynamic with Calhoun, Carmichael decided to solidify her position and put her in the back. It proved to be one of the greatest decisions of the year. The pair knowing how to play into the others weaknesses was never more prevalent than the Cowgirls’ match against Tulsa. Coming off of a six-game losing streak, the squad was down on itself. It was unclear whether the team would throw in the towel or put its feet in the dirt and brace the storm. Throughout the game, Calhoun could be seen sweeping the width of the field, often managing to work as a blockade on the

O’COLLY

strong, athletic Tulsa attack. However, even when Calhoun failed to brace the barrage, McKnight served as the judge, jury and jurisdiction. McKnight was an anchor in the back in a true fight of a game. “When we’re communicating, everyone knows where everyone is, so it sets us up for success,” McKnight said following the Tulsa game. Imagine playing the sport you love alongside your best childhood friend, lasting for over half of your life and beyond. Now put that on the college stage for all to see, leading your team to the No. 2 seed in the conference

Film a key part of Cowboys’ prep for Texas Nathan Ruiz @NathanSRuiz With the Cowboys still searching for their sixth win and bowl eligibility, Oklahoma State’s three remaining games are critical. A bye gives the Pokes an extra week to prepare to face the Texas Longhorns on Nov. 15. That preparation comes from watching film. The Cowboys are required to watch film every day except Monday, OSU defensive coordinator Glenn Spencer said. About 45 minutes to an hour before practice is devoted to watching film, though players will often come in on their own time. In film study sessions, coaches walk the players through the team’s practice tapes, showing the players individually what they can improve on, while also spending time going over the opposing team’s plays, schemes and formations. “It’s very important,” linebacker Ryan Simmons said. “There’s key things that you can see, down to the snap count, how to anticipate the snaps, formations, what plays come out of those formations, the splits of the offensive line, the splits of the receivers, things to look for in order to just except certain things to give yourself the upper hand.” The coaching staff will normally go through tape

and find the key parts the players need to watch, cornerback Kevin Peterson said. Spencer, offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich and the assistant coaches try to show the players as many situations as they can. The footage the Cowboys watch comes from various games their upcoming opponent has played this season, while they may also view footage from their 2013 game against the opponent. Spencer and Yurcich both said they only focus on film where the scheme the opponent is facing is similar to OSU’s. “You try to get a library of tape during the year of (games) versus similar defenses to what we are to try to get a good cross-fit,” Spencer said. “As a staff, we’ll watch every game, but sometimes, you throw out game tape that might be irrelevant because the defense they’re playing against isn’t anything like ours.” The other side of watching film is personal improvement for the players. “You try to see your footwork, the play, the scheme for everything,” Peterson said. “It’s really trying to see how you play as a person. When you’re going through plans, it’s one thing, but then you see yourself play, you say ‘OK, I made this mistake. I can try and correct it next time.’” It also serves as a way of developing chemistry and leadership among players. Peterson and safety Jordan

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2014

Sterns have recently begun to work with true freshman cornerback Ramon Richards in watching film. Richards has been thrown into the fire due to an ankle injury that’s forced Ashton Lampkin out for the last five games. “We’ve got some older guys like Kevin that can sit down there and watch with him and tell him what to look for,” Spencer said. “It’s a lot different than just watching it as a game. He’s got to watch it for tendencies, tips. “These older guys know how to watch it. That’s something in the family that’s kind of passed down from generation to generation.” With all players spending numerous hours watching film, they gave a consensus answer to who spends the most time in the film room: themselves. “I’m in there often,” Simmons said. “I have to know my stuff. Being in this role (middle linebacker), you have to know everything that goes on. Trying to have the upper hand and make sure you’re telling your teammates what they can be expecting is a good thing.” Receiver David Glidden champions himself as one of the more attenative film watching on the team. “I don’t really pay that much attention to how much time other guys are watching, but I would like to say, hopefully, it’s myself,” Glidden said. Glidden has gained an appreciation for watching film since he became

a Cowboy, as he grasps the importance in studying himself and the team’s opponent. “When I was younger, I didn’t really understand the whole film study thing,” he said. “But as I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized that film study is really everything that we do. “When it comes down to it, it’s all a matter of

Stillwater crime rate lower than national average Kaelynn Knoernschild @kaelynn_k Recent incidents may have Stillwater residents on edge about the safety of their community, but reports show citizens can rest easy. In the past seven years, three murders — including last week’s homicide — have occurred in Stillwater, according to city-data.com. The website gives Stillwater a crime rating of 232.1, revealing the city is comparatively safer than nearby cities like Tulsa (564.6) and Oklahoma City (591.5). Stillwater also maintains a better crime rating than the U.S. average of 301.1. “Relatively, we have a safe community,” said Randy Dickerson, Stillwater Police captain. Before last week, the last homicide to take place in Stillwater occurred Oct.

27, 2012 on 1100 block of South Husband Street. Prosecutors alleged 28-year-old Christopher Alden Dawes beat 32-year-old Jeremy Sutherland brutally after Dawes awoke to find Sutherland kissing his girlfriend. Dawes was convicted of one count of manslaughter in the first degree and one count of domestic assault and battery by strangulation after pleading guilty to both charges, according to court records. “Certainly we’re not exempt from the violence that plagues other communities or bigger cities, but Stillwater is unique in a couple of ways,” Dickerson said. “We have a pretty upper-scale community. We have a lot of educated people here, a lot of people with degrees and pretty stable jobs. We’re lucky to have the makeup of the community that we do … but occasionally bad things happen here, too.”

RACHAEL MALTBY/O’COLLY

Stillwater Police Capt. Randy Dickerson addresses the media after last week’s homicide. It was Stillwater’s first in two years.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2014

Dickerson said it would be rare to have more than one or two homicides in Stillwater in a year. “There’s been times in my career that we’ve had one or two a year, and then we’ll go two or three or four years without one,” he said. “I don’t know that there is a rhyme or reason to it.” The website indicates that Stillwater has a higher crime rating than surrounding small towns like Perry (227.8), Perkins (188) and Pawnee (94.3); however, Stillwater is about 15 times larger than both Pawnee and Perkins and almost 10 times as large as Perry. “It’s a relatively safe community, it’s just that we’re subject to some of the same violent crimes that other cities are, on a lesser scale, I believe,” Dickerson said. news@ocolly.com Stillwater Crime

• Six homicides have occurred since 2000. • Since 2000, Stillwater’s crime rating has been less than the U.S. average. • In 2012, there were 24 cases of rape in Stillwater. • As of Tuesday, the ratio of Stillwater residents to registered sex offenders was 15,520 to 1.

“In the Heat of the Night” came to the Student Union Theater on Tuesday night.

Play spotlights fear, relationships, race Montinique Monroe @iAmMontinique

Los Angeles Theatre Works took Stillwater back to the 1960s during a theatrical performance of “In The Heat of The Night” on Tuesday. Oklahoma State is the fourth stop during the LATW national tour in honor of the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Civil Rights Act. The cast confronts prejudice in the theatrical version of the Emmy and Oscar-Award winning show, challenging students, professors and residents to evaluate their belief systems. The play involves the murder mystery of a wealthy white man in Alabama, which results in

O’COLLY

the arrest of a black man passing through town. The black man known as Virgil Tibbs in the play is actually a detective who ends up assisting police chief Bill Gillespie in solving the mystery. Throughout the play, Gillespie’s personal prejudices are tested while working with Tibbs to bring fear and racial stereotypes to light. Actor Darren Richardson said this play strikes a discussion larger than race. “Our director, when he came out and introduced the play, he said this is a play about relationships, a play about fear,” Richardson said. “All there is really is these people who are fearful of (people of other races) because they don’t know them. They don’t understand.” Richardson said the play sends a message to help

people understand how to eliminate prejudice through realizing the similarities of all people. Tom Virtue, an actor and television guest star, said the explicit language in the play is crucial to help the audience feel the power of living during the Civil Rights movement. “The N-word is said quite a bit in this play, and it’s there for a reason,” he said. “So in a way, when people want to change the N-word because they’re trying to be politically correct, they’re actually doing a disservice to the message of the play.” Virtue said in previous performances the message behind “In The Heat of The Night” gives the audience an avenue to stand and speak out about changing racial views. news@ocolly.com PAGE 8


Color Splash Dash comes to Stillwater Amanda Taylor @amandajmtaylor

A color run is headed to Stillwater, and an expert is bringing it. The Stillwater Color Splash Dash is Saturday at Boomer Lake. Proceeds go to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Chris Beggs, a philanthropy veteran, is organizing the race. “Every year I host events to fundraise for different families or organizations,” Beggs said. He’s now raising money for a family in west Oklahoma that has a young boy with cystic fibrosis. In August, he put on a Color

Splash Dash in Elk City and raised more than $12,000 for cystic fibrosis research. “The response was overwhelming.” Beggs said. Fueled by the success in Elk City, he decided to bring a run to Stillwater. Beggs doesn’t charge for his services nor take any of the profit. He says he is satisfied by the awareness raised for the causes he believes in. “My biggest goal is not only to make an impact on the organization itself, but to raise awareness,” Beggs said. “That’s what I work hard for — for the community to get involved.” Beggs began his work in Denver when he was 21. He wanted to do something for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. It took him two weeks

to organize his first event. When it was over, he was shocked to realize he had raised $6,000. He decided to split between the Salvation Army and Red Cross. He never expected it to become a career. Now 30, Beggs doesn’t support only organizations and relief efforts, he also fundraises for families. When a local family was involved in a bad accident resulting in the loss of two children, he approached them offering his services. “I put myself out there to say whatever I can to help,” Beggs said. “It’s something I really don’t think about. It’s a complete God thing.” Many opportunities have risen for him to create awareness for families and

organizations — both those that approach him and that he approaches. “It’s hard to take credit,” he said. “People tell me I deserve all the kudos, but I don’t feel that way.” Registration for the Stillwater Color Splash Dash is $35. The fee will cover a T-shirt and color packet. news@ocolly.com Color Spash Dash

Daily Horoscope By Nancy Black Tribune Content Agency Today’s Birthday (11/05/14). A new level of personal power flavors this year. With the eclipse in your sign last month (10/23), your priorities and obligations shift. Creative sparks fly after 3/20, for a fun whirlwind. With discipline you can achieve big dreams. Take time out for yourself after 4/4, when introspective peace and quiet restores your muse. Nurture your light. To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. Aries (March 21-April 19) -- Today is a 9 -- A career window opens. This could cause changes and complications. Actions get farther than words. There’s abundant money available today and tomorrow (if you work for it). Balance emotional with pragmatic factors. Call if you’re running late. Taurus (April 20-May 20) -- Today is a 7 -- Work in partnership, and be willing to take the lead today and tomorrow. Don’t get caught up in the words (miscommunications happen). Gossip leaves a bitter taste... avoid it. Sort out the common aim, and go for it. Gemini (May 21-June 20) -- Today is an 8 -- Get introspective, and find what you’re looking for. Retreat from the world today and tomorrow. Sometimes if you get quiet enough, the answer arises unbidden. Nurture health with rest, exercise and good food. Make a discovery by accident. Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- Today is an 8 -- Today and tomorrow favor fun with friends. Put a family event on the schedule. Play in a group or community project, and contribute your piece of the puzzle. Find materials at home or nearby. Learn from an experienced tutor. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Today is a 9 -- Focus on your career today and tomorrow. Ask for what you need, and be patient... transmission breakdowns or slips in translation could warp the meaning. Repeat, and relax. Find multiple routes to your goal. Keep up momentum. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Today is an 8 -- Take a trip or explore a new scene. You don’t need to go far. Backyard journeys can be quite satisfying. Keep communications channels open, and expect some delays (especially with transportation or shipping). Saving is better than spending now. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Today is a 9 -- Get straight about what doesn’t work. Gain more than expected. Attend to finances and administration for the next two days. Avoid talking about money with partners, or risk misunderstanding. Handle affairs and present the report later. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Today is a 9 -- You have plenty of support. Teamwork is your secret weapon. Ignore doubts. You can succeed. You don’t have to do it all, personally. Delegate! Take care with a change in plans. Don’t give away your advantage. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Today is an 8 -- Take on more work, and earnings increase. Gather ideas and feedback. An important person is feeling generous. Take the student role. Put your heads together. A feisty argument could curtail travel. Relax at home. See a movie. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Today is a 7 -- Today can be really fun, especially avoiding miscommunication and arguments. A private conference spells out the facts. Now is the time to get creative. All is not as it appears. You get really lucky. Follow through. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Today is an 8 -- Your heart’s at home and in the garden. Pare down to make more space with a cleaning or renovation project. In a disagreement about priorities, listen to the opposing view. Consider all possibilities. Allow everything to gel. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Today is a 9 -- Desire for more income guides your decisions. Maintain objectivity. The funding will be available. A purchase becomes possible. Finish a study project now. Practicing something you love to do goes well now. Your territory expands.
