There’s plenty to be thankful for this year — those feeding the pets of Tulsa’s homeless, a one-of-a-kind basketball coach, a youthful leader helping the disabled and a couple’s rediscovered ring.

Abo ve & bey ond Longtime school custodian does what she can to support the kids Happy Thanksgiving!

By Kyle Hinchey • Tulsa World Marsha Hatton never intended to work as a custodian at Disney Elementary School for more than a few years. The only reason she took the job in the first place was because her previous workplace shut down and her supervisor knew of an opening at the school.

But 23 years later, Hatton’s still there. Why? Aside from being just flat-out good at custodial work, the 57-year-old Tulsan keeps coming back for the students.

“I get a bunch of different kids every year, and it’s nice to always see so many different faces.

I know more people in this neighborhood here than in my own neighborhood.”

Disney Principal Donna Gilford said Hatton’s passion to help and willingness to listen has made her a beloved figure for students. Although her job duties end with taking out the trash and keeping the floors clean, the custodian goes above and beyond by taking care of the kids. »» See Hatton page A10

Arrest made in east Tulsa slaying Two women allegedly lured Owasso man to an armed robbery

By Stetson Payne Tulsa World

Tulsa police arrested two women on complaints of first-degree murder and armed robbery connected to the July killing of an Owasso man.

Kelsey Dawn Lipp, 23, and Aleczandria Reinhardt, 27, are accused of luring 24-year-old Dustin Barham to the Sierra Pointe Apartments in the 1400 block of South 107th East Avenue on July 25 and killing him in a robbery.

Police responded that night to a call that shots had been heard at the complex shortly after midnight, and officers found Barham bleeding profusely in his 1991 Chevrolet pickup in the parking lot. Barham reportedly had been shot in the leg between two apartment buildings and fled to his truck.

He was unable to give

any description of his attackers before he was pronounced dead at St. Lipp John Medical Center about 1 a.m.

Detectives later discovered that Barham had Reinhardt been lured to the complex through a social media app.

Police reportedly received an anonymous tip Monday that revealed Lipp and Reinhardt’s involvement in the robbery and killing, according to an arrest report. The tip reportedly identified both suspects by name and explained both of their roles in the crime.

Detectives contacted Reinhardt, alleged to be the shooter, on Tuesday.

She agreed to speak with detectives and confessed that she and Lipp had con-

spired to rob Barham.

At the time, Lipp lived in the complex, and Barham was killed near her apartment, police said.

Reinhardt reportedly told police Lipp made a fake account on a social media app to lure Barham.

During the attempted robbery, Barham reportedly tried to grab the gun from Reinhardt, but he was shot multiple times.

That woman reportedly ran to her car and fled before officers arrived, police said in the arrest report.

After being read her Miranda rights, Lipp reportedly told detectives Tuesday that Reinhardt and another person had left her apartment shortly before the shooting.

Lipp denied involvement in the killing and told detectives that her phone number or WiFi could have been used by the Reinhardt to lure Barham.

Homicide detectives met with Lipp while canvassing the area after Barham’s killing, but she reportedly did not tell them then about Reinhardt’s in-

volvement or that she was ever at the scene, according to the arrest report.

Lipp was arrested Tuesday afternoon and booked into the Tulsa County jail at 7:24 p.m., according to jail records. Reinhardt was arrested Wednesday on a $250,000 bond on the robbery charge; bond is yet to be set on the murder charge.

Lipp was charged with armed robbery Sept. 29, 2016. The pending charge involves a series of armed robberies with a similar scheme, according to her arrest report.

Lipp recently participated in the Women in Recovery program and had been released from custody Friday in the 2016 case, according to court records. After her arrest Tuesday, she is being held in the Tulsa County jail without the option of posting bond.

Man pleads guilty to sexual abuse Detectives examined phone that contained sexually explicit acts of adult with 10-year-old girl From Staff Reports

A Claremore man pleaded guilty to sexually abusing a then-10-year-old girl and filming the act.

Zachary Wayne Newberry, 25, pleaded guilty Tuesday to sexual exploitation of a child in U.S. District Court, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Newberry was accused of video recording himself sexually abusing the child in December 2017 or January 2018. The phone

that contained the explicit content was anonymously mailed around August to Tulsa police detectives.

T u l s a Police Cyber Crime de tec tives examined the phone’s data and Newberry discovered a video of a girl performing a sex act on an adult, according to a probable cause affidavit.

Police later identified the

Okmulgee woman killed in crash; DUI alleged State troopers arrested a man on a manslaughter complaint after an Okmulgee woman died Tuesday afternoon in a single-vehicle wreck.

Matthew Nix, 31, of Morris, was allegedly driving a 2014 Chevrolet pickup truck under the influence of drugs Tuesday afternoon on Oklahoma 52, according to an Oklahoma Highway Patrol report.

Nix was northbound on the highway when his vehicle departed the roadway and collided with a guard rail. His passenger, Darla Maxwell, 46, was transported to an Okmul-

gee hospital, where medical personnel pronounced her dead.

The wreck occurred about a half mile south of Herrick Road in Okmulgee County. Whether Maxwell or Nix were wearing safety belts remains under investigation.

Troopers arrested Nix on complaints of firstdegree manslaughter, operating a vehicle while under the influence of drugs and failure to stay in a single lane of traffic, according to Okmulgee County jail records.

“I don’t know the identity of the tipster, but I thank him or her for helping us. The anonymous package was vital in bringing Newberry’s despicable, criminal offenses to light,” said U.S. Attorney Trent Shores.

Newberry is scheduled for sentencing Feb. 25.

The minimum penalty

for the crime is 15 years in prison, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.

He is also charged in Tulsa County District Court with child sexual abuse; possession, procuring or manufacturing child pornography; and possession, manufacturing, selling or distribution of child pornography.

His next court date is scheduled for Dec. 20.

Mass. man hosts a free Thanksgiving dinner For 33 years, he’s invited strangers to share meal, friendship

By Cathy Free The Washington Post

For his first Thanksgiving alone in 1985, Scott Macaulay was thinking that he would have to heat up a frozen turkey dinner and turn on a football game to stifle the silence in his apartment near Boston.

With his parents recently divorced and “nobody talking to anybody,” he said, “I was looking at a pretty rotten Thanksgiving. And I absolutely hate to eat alone.”

Then Macaulay, a divorced vacuum cleaner repairman, had an idea: What if he took out an ad in his hometown paper, the Melrose Free Press, and invited 12 strangers to join him for Thanksgiving dinner? It seemed like a manageable number to host at the First Baptist Church he attended — and, yeah, it was a little crazy, but it had to be better than being lonely.

“I knew that I couldn’t be the only one in this situation,” he said. “There had to be at least a dozen people out there who didn’t want to spend Thanksgiving Day alone.”

Actually, more.

Since those 12 strangers gathered around his table for turkey, stuffing and pumpkin pie 33 years ago, Macaulay has made his free feast an annual event, inviting anyone to make a reservation by calling his office phone number that’s printed in the paper. He does not own a cellphone or computer. Through the years, he has fed plenty of widows, widowers, homeless people, college kids who can’t make it home — even the guest who crawled under the table a few years ago. All are welcome.

In the town of 27,000

about 10 miles northwest of Boston, Macaulay feeds 60 to 100 people every year. When the oven broke at his church one Thanksgiving, he moved the repast to the basement of Melrose’s Green Street Baptist Church, which now donates space for the dinner every year.

About a week before Thanksgiving, Macaulay, 57, who owns and lives above Macaulay’s House of Vacuum Cleaners, goes grocery shopping and buys everything himself, though he prefers not to say how much it all costs him because “that would take away the spirit of it.”

Asked again, he said the total exceeds $1,000.

The menu includes four large turkeys, five kinds of pie (pumpkin, apple, mince, cherry and the ever-popular Hershey’s frozen sundae pie), sweet potatoes, stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy, butternut squash, cranberries, fruit cups and rolls with butter. He stores it all in refrigerators at the church until the morning of the feast.

A few days beforehand, he hauls in sofas, recliners, oriental rugs and even a couple of fake fireplaces, and decorates a rec hall to resemble a cozy

living room. Candlesticks and cloth napkins are placed on tables, curtains are hung in the windows, and adjoining rooms are set up for guests to relax and get to know one another over appetizers: chips and dip in one room and cheese and crackers in the next.

“This isn’t about the food, though,” Macaulay said. “It’s about having a place to go. Silence is unbearable, especially on Thanksgiving. My goal is always to replicate the feeling of having a nice dinner in somebody’s home.”

Reservations usually come in at the last minute, he said, “because everyone is hoping for

a better offer.” After 32 Thanksgivings, Macaulay can laugh about it and never takes offense. He’s made dozens of friends and an equal number of memories.

“There was a guy one year who’d just lost his wife,” he said. “And after dinner, he put on her old apron and helped me to do the dishes.”

One year, he said, an elderly woman paid $200 for an ambulance to drive her to the church from her nursing home. She arrived decked out in fancy clothes and told Macaulay she hadn’t been out in seven years. She cried when dinner was over.

Last year, two people showed up with service

dogs.

Another year, Macaulay took a plate out to a woman who was living in her car and was too ashamed of her plight to come inside until almost everyone had gone home.

“She came in to get some leftovers,” Macaulay recalled. “And she sang ‘Amazing Grace’ with this incredible voice. What a year that was.”

Then there was the time his parents both showed up. Macaulay’s mother was dying of breast cancer and wanted to be with family. So did his dad.

“There they were, sitting on the couch together,” he said, “holding each other’s hand, years after their divorce. I can still see them sitting there.

That’s a happy memory.”

Infants have spent their first Thanksgiving with Macaulay, and more than a few elderly people have sat down for their last.

Some people return year after year to relax with strangers in front of a faux fireplace.

Geoff Shanklin, 65, who lives alone and has attended every dinner, said he watches in admiration each year when Macaulay makes the dinner happen.

“He prepares it all and we bring ourselves,”

Dutch writer thought she’d found a stolen Picasso The real story — part of a publicity stunt — is much weirder

By Amanda Erickson The Washington Post

Nearly seven years ago, a team of art thieves pulled an incredible haul, stealing works by Picasso, Matisse, Gauguin and Monet from a gallery in Rotterdam. The Guardian called it “one of the most spectacular art heists of modern times.”

Last weekend, a Dutch novelist thought that she’d stumbled upon one of the works — Picasso’s “Tete d’Arlequin” — buried under a tree in the Romanian countryside.

Mira Feticu, who wrote a book about the heist, said she’d received an anonymous letter about 10 days ago with instructions for tracking the painting.

Feticu’s discovery sent shivers of excitement through the art world.

Though four Romanians were arrested in connection with the crime in 2014, the paintings were never found. Investigators said they believed the works had been destroyed after the thieves failed to find a buyer.

Olga Dogaru, one of the perpetrators, even confessed to burning the works in her stove to protect her son.

She later retracted that statement. But specialists from Romania’s natural history museum said ashes from Dogaru’s stove contained traces of at least three of the oil paintings.

Feticu’s discovery cast doubt on those findings.

She delivered the artwork to investigators at the Dutch embassy, who spent the weekend feverishly working to determine whether the work

was real.

Then Sunday night, Feticu appeared on the Dutch public broadcaster NOS to say she’d been had. She alleged that the painting — and the letter she received — was part

of a publicity stunt to promote a new work by Dutch artists Bart Baele and Yves Degryse.

The pair had created the fake Picasso as part of their new project “True Copy,” a meditation on the work of notorious Dutch forger Geert Jan

Jansen, who made millions selling fake paintings. On their website, they said they would “abstain from any comment” until they had spoken with Feticu. “We will be back with more details on this issue within the next few days,” they wrote.

Shanklin said. “He really enjoys passing it on to lonely people in Melrose.

For people like me with nowhere to go, Scott is family.”

Last year, Loretta Saint-Louis, 66, was feeling down because she couldn’t make it to Ohio for her family’s annual gathering. Then she spotted Macaulay’s newspaper ad.

“I had no idea what I was walking into,” she said, “and I was surprised at how fancy and well-done it was. Scott really goes all out. It’s extraordinary that he does this, but he sees it as a gift to give to everyone. He really pulls the little community of Melrose together.”

Because Thanksgiving wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without giving thanks, Macaulay always asks people to write what they’re thankful for on a slip of paper and leave their thoughts in a basket.

He saves the submissions and reads them throughout the year, long after the table has been cleared and the dishes washed.

The top thing people write about is being thankful for their health.

“Sometimes, they’re grateful they no longer have cancer or that they finally found a job or have a place to live,” he said.

“One year, a guy wrote that he was thankful his son was speaking to him again. That one was a tear-jerker.”

Macaulay also has a son, Walter, 22, who helps serve and clean up. He’s the designated turkey carver.

Neither father nor son batted an eye a few years ago when Macaulay’s exwife strolled in with her new husband and offered to play the piano while everyone ate.

And as for the woman a few years ago who hid under the table?

“I don’t ask questions,” Macaulay said. “She got served the same as anyone.”

Roberts, Trump spar over judges The president fumed over another judge’s ruling against him

By Mark Sherman Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump and Chief Justice John Roberts clashed Wednesday in an extraordinary public dispute over the independence of America’s judiciary, with Roberts bluntly rebuking the president for denouncing a judge who rejected his migrant asylum policy as an “Obama judge.”

There’s no such thing, Roberts declared in a strongly worded statement contradicting Trump and defending judicial independence. Never silent for long, Trump defended his own comment, tweeting defiantly, “Sorry Justice Roberts.”

The pre-Thanksgiving dustup was the first time that Roberts, the Republican-appointed leader of the federal judiciary, has offered even a hint of criticism of Trump, who has several times blasted federal judges who have ruled against him.

Before now, it has been highly unusual for a president to single out judges for personal criticism. And a chief justice’s challenge to a president’s comments is downright unprecedented in modern times.

It seemed a fight that Trump would relish but one that Roberts has taken pains to avoid. But with Roberts’ court feeling the

Chief Justice John Roberts is pushing back against President Donald Trump’s description of a judge who ruled against the administration’s new asylum policy as an “Obama judge.”

heat over the president’s appointment of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, Roberts and several of his colleagues have gone out of their way to rebut perceptions of the court as a political institution divided between five conservative Republicans and four liberal Democrats.

Trump’s appointments to the Supreme Court and lower federal courts have themselves spurred charges that the courts are becoming more politicized.

As the justice widely seen as closest to the court’s middle, Roberts could determine the outcome of high-profile cases that split the court.

The new drama began with remarks Trump made Tuesday in which went after a judge who

ruled against his migrant asylum order. The president claimed, not for the first time, that the federal appeals court based in San Francisco was biased against him.

Roberts had refused to comment on Trump’s earlier attacks on judges, including the chief justice himself. But on Wednesday, after a query by The Associated Press, he spoke up for the independence of the federal judiciary and rejected the notion that judges are loyal to the presidents who appoint them.

“We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges. What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing

before them,” Roberts said.

On the day before Thanksgiving, he concluded, “The independent judiciary is something we should all be thankful for.”

Trump hit back from his resort home in Florida, questioning the independence of federal judges appointed by his predecessor and confirmed by the U.S. Senate. He especially criticized judges on California’s 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

“Sorry Chief Justice John Roberts, but you do indeed have ‘Obama judges,’ and they have a much different point of view than the people who are charged with the safety of our country,” the president tweeted.

If the 9th Circuit judges are independent, he said, “why are so many oppos-

ing view (on Border and Safety) cases filed there, and why are a vast number of those cases overturned. ... these rulings are making our country unsafe! Very dangerous and unwise!”

Trump has never been reticent about criticizing the judiciary. Last year, the president scorned the “socalled judge” who made the first federal ruling against his travel ban. During the presidential campaign, he criticized Roberts himself for the chief justice’s decisive vote in 2012 to preserve President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul.

Trump also referred to an Indiana-born judge of Mexican descent, who was presiding over a fraud lawsuit against Trump University, as a Mexican who would be unable to rule fairly because of Trump’s proposal to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexican border.

Murder plot foiled with traffic stop From Staff Reports

A man who said he was forced to be the driver for another man who planned to kill someone foiled the plot by speeding past law enforcement officers in Dewey, causing them to pull over his pickup.

Federal court documents indicate that Dewey Police Officer Johnathan Pointer and a Washington County sheriff’s deputy stopped the speeding pickup on U.S. 75 about 2:45 a.m. Oct. 21.

The pickup’s driver, Franklin Majano-Fuentes, told the officers he was from Honduras and was driving to Bartlesville. He then leaned out the win-

dow and told Pointer he needed help, the court documents state.

During the stop, the deputy reportedly saw an AR15 in the back seat leaning against the center console.

Both Majano-Fuentes and the truck’s passenger, Andres Gomez, were taken out of the vehicle while the officers searched the truck, according to court records.

As the men were put in handcuffs, Majano-Fuentes again told Pointer he needed help and explained that he intentionally sped past the officers in a 35 mph zone, documents state.

Majano-Fuentes said he wanted to be pulled over because Gomez had forced

him to drive to Bartlesville so Gomez could kill someone there. Gomez then confessed, “It’s my fault, and I was wanting to kill him,” the records state.

Gomez said he was mad at the person he wanted to kill because he had not been paid for roofing work, the documents say.

When Gomez had confronted that man about the money earlier in the day, the man reportedly beat Gomez. Officers observed that one of Gomez’s

eyes was swollen shut and that dried blood was around his mouth.

Gomez and MajanoFuentes reportedly had gone to Dewey to retrieve the rifle, which had been reported stolen in Bartlesville, and were on the way to kill the man when they were pulled over.

The two were both charged in federal court with re-entry of a removed alien. Gomez also faces a charge of being an alien in possession of a firearm.

Texas man dies after being struck by van A Dallas-area man died after he was struck by a van that left the scene Tuesday night near McAlester, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol said Wednesday.

Curtis Wayne Johnson, 34, of Lancaster, Texas, died after he was struck by the vehicle while he was walking on a service road of U.S. 69 about one-quarter mile south of McAlester, troopers said.

He was taken by ambulance to McAlester Regional Health Center, where he died from injuries sustained in the collision, the OHP said.

Johnson was walking south about 7 p.m. Tuesday when he was struck by the vehicle that was also being driven south, troopers said.

The van left the scene of the accident and authorities were trying to determine more information about it and the driver.

Tulsa race massacre survivor dies Felicia Collins (left), executive director of the YWCA greets Tulsa race massacre survivor Dr. Olivia Hooker during a reception for the premiere of “Before They Die,” a documentary about the massacre.

Olivia Hooker was 6 years old at the time of the 1921 massacre in north Tulsa

By Harrison Grimwood Tulsa World

Olivia Hooker, among the last known survivors of the Tulsa race massacre, died Wednesday morning at her New York home.

Hooker, 103, was 6 years old at the time of the 1921 massacre in Tulsa’s Greenwood District.

In one of her last interviews, Hooker told how she and her siblings were covered with a large tablecloth. Her mother instructed them to remain silent while a white mob ransacked their home.

“It was horrifying for a little girl who was only 6 years old trying to remember to keep quiet,” Hooker said.

Hooker died Wednesday morning, Tulsa City Councilor Vanessa Hall-Harper said she was told by Hooker’s family.

TULSA WORLD FILE

Hooker was the first AfricanAmerican woman to join the U.S. Coast Guard. She was also a psychology professor and an activist.

Hooker advocated and raised awareness for the massacre, said Jamaal Nash-Dyer, project director of the 1921 Tulsa Race Riot Centennial Commission.

“She wanted to make sure the story was no longer a secret,”

Nash-Dyer said. “We, as a state and as a nation, have a horrible way of trying to hide things that are embarrassing and that are tragic.”

During the massacre on May 31, 1921, the Hooker family home was ransacked by a white mob while she and her siblings hid.

Her father’s successful clothing store, Samuel D. Hooker and Son, was also destroyed, along

with the rest of Tulsa’s thriving black Greenwood District.

“She was just one of the drum majors for justice,” Nash-Dyer said.

The massacre would leave at least 37 dead — though some unofficial estimates put the figure in the hundreds — and about 10,000 people homeless.

“Tulsa, as well as this nation, tried to sweep this tragedy under the rug,” Nash-Dyer said.

“With the light of Dr. Hooker and some of the other survivors, (they) would not allow this to rest.”

Hooker has shared the stories of the massacre with national audiences, is one of the founders of the Tulsa Race Riot Commission and filed an unsuccessful lawsuit seeking reparations for survivors.

Hooker “never stopped fighting” to bring awareness about the massacre, Hall-Harper said.

“She was the first one who, to my knowledge, refused to call the 1921 race riot a riot,” HallHarper said. “She said it was not

a riot, it was a massacre.”

The event began on May 31, 1921, after a black man was wrongly accused of raping a white woman. That man was held at the Tulsa County jail and, on two separate occasions, groups of armed black men offered to protect him and were turned down. As the group of armed black men returned to the Greenwood District, a white man attempted to disarm one of them and a shot was fired, beginning the violence, according to the Oklahoma Historical Society.

White mobs set fires on the edge of Greenwood during the night. On the morning of June 1, thousands of whites descended into the district, looting, setting fires and killing blacks who fought back but were described as outnumbered and outgunned.

Authorities did little to quell the violence.

Bargainhunters get a head start on sale ads

By Reece Ristau Tulsa World

After Robyn Farrar finishes her turkey and pie on Thanksgiving, she’ll grab her hefty copy of the Tulsa World’s Thankful edition and thumb through the hundreds of ads to begin mapping out her Black Friday battle plan.

Farrar didn’t have to go far to get an early-bird copy of the 4-pound paper — it was a short walk to the Tulsa World’s front door from her office in the Williams Center Tower. “It’s just great to have it early,” she said.

Hundreds of Black Friday deal hunters stopped by the newspaper’s downtown office at 315 S. Boulder Ave. on Wednesday afternoon to purchase the Thankful edition, which cost $4 and featured more than 40 advertising inserts. Employees of the newspaper’s marketing department, some dressed in festive sweaters or newspaper delivery gear, sold papers to pedestrians and drivers at the curb.

“We’re so excited to be able to do this every year — give our customers the first chance to get the Thankful edition with all the inserts,” said Sarah Lorenzen, marketing director for the Tulsa World.

Todd Jeffery, a Tulsa County sheriff’s deputy, bought a paper so he or his wife can flip through it while they drive to Edmond for their family Thanksgiving.

He said they’ll scan for Christmas deals and catch up on the news. It will be “something to read on the drive,” he said.

Christi Benavidez was taking her daily lunch hour stroll through downtown when she stopped for a copy. The JD Young employee said she usually sits down with the Thanksgiving day paper over her morning coffee on Thursday, so she was happy to get a head start on her Black Friday shopping list — a new TV and some mattresses.

Lisa Riggs, a payroll accountant, pulled up at the curb to grab a paper. While she said she’ll go out with her family to shop on Friday, they don’t wake up before dawn or sprint through stores for the hottest sales.

“We just go for the fun of it,” she said.

Amusan, who had known Hooker since the early 2000s, spoke about the importance of the activist maintaining the will to share her story to enlighten thousands of people who might have been unfamiliar with her experience a century ago.

“As a survivor of the massacre, I think her greatest impact was her never tiring in the need to seek justice,” said Amusan.

Clark: Funeral more festive than solemn »» From page A9

Clark pioneered country music on the Las Vegas Strip, according to Halsey, who indicated that, at one time, the belief was show-goers in Vegas would not support country music. But when Robert Goulet was too ill to perform, Clark got an opportunity to play at the Frontier and knocked a home run as a pinchhitter.

“By the time he finished that show, they were throwing babies in the air,” Halsey said.

Halsey also shared the origin story of Clark’s

historic 21-show tour of the Soviet Union in 1976.

He said Clark suggested inviting a delegation of Soviet officials who were in the U.S. to a performance in Las Vegas. The officials were impressed and extended an invitation to Clark to perform on their turf. Halsey said Clark, accompanied by the Oak Ridge Boys, went to the Soviet Union to entertain people with no political message attached.

“We saw the whole attitude of Soviets change toward Americans,” Halsey said, calling it a cultural and diplomatic

success.

Halsey began the eulogy by saying his heart was filled with gratitude because he got to spend the majority of his life with Roy and Barbara Clark. A decades-long friendship came about because of Halsey’s relationship with Wanda Jackson, who, in 1959, told Halsey she had hired a great guitar player from Washington, D.C. How great could the guitar player be? Halsey found out when he saw Clark perform for the first time in Independence, Kansas.

“I couldn’t believe it,” Halsey said.

Halsey said Clark changed the face of country music and changed the landscape forever by playing for people who had never heard country music before. He said Clark was fearless and confident and believed he could do anything, but was not conceited.

Said Halsey: “He will be remembered forever.”

The service ended with a video of Clark, showing why he earned the nickname “super picker,” performing a wow-inducing version of the instrumental “Malaguena.” Those at the service rose and applauded.

Tribesmen kill ORU grad on remote island Man known for sense of adventure had kayaked to island to meet reclusive people

By Ashok Sharma Associated Press

NEW DELHI — An American adventurer and graduate of Oral Roberts University in Tulsa who kayaked to a remote Indian island populated by a tribe known for shooting at outsiders with bows and arrows has been killed, police said Wednesday.

Officials said they were working with anthropologists to recover the body.

Dependera Pathak, director-general of police on India’s Andaman and Nicobar Islands, said seven fishermen have been arrested for helping the American reach North Sentinel Island. The Sentinelese people are resistant to outsiders and often attack anyone who comes near, and visits to the island are heavily restricted by the government.

Pathak identified the American as John Allen Chau and said he told a hotel he was 26 years old.

Chau was apparently shot and killed by arrows, but the cause of death can’t be confirmed until his body is recovered, Pathak told The Associated Press.

“It was a case of misdirected adventure,” Pathak said.

Chau arrived in the area on Oct. 16 and stayed in a hotel while he prepared to travel to the island. It was not his first time in the region: he had visited the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in 2015 and 2016, Pathak said. North Senti-

In October, American John Allen Chau (right) was photographed with the founder of Ubuntu Football Academy Casey Prince, 39, in Cape Town, South Africa, days before he left for a remote Indian island of North Sentinel Island. Chau, who kayaked to the remote island populated by a tribe known for shooting at outsiders with bows and arrows, has been killed, police said Wednesday.

nel is in the Andaman Islands at the intersection of the Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea. ORU President William Wilson issued a statement about Chau’s death on Twitter on Wednesday afternoon.

“The story of ORU alumnus John Chau’s death at the hands of an isolated people group has gone around the world today,” Wilson said.

“Not surprising that

John would reach out to the unreached in order to share God’s love but we are deeply saddened to hear of his death.”

Chau organized his visit to the island through a friend who hired seven fishermen for $325 to take him there on a boat, which

also towed his kayak, Pathak said.

The American went ashore in his kayak on Nov. 15 and sent the boat with the fishermen out to sea to avoid detection, Pathak said. He interacted with some of the tribespeople, offering gifts such as a football and fish. But the tribespeople became angry and shot an arrow at him, hitting a book he was carrying, Pathak said.

After his kayak was damaged, Chau swam back to the fishermen’s boat, which was waiting at a prearranged location.

He spent the night writing about his experiences on pages that he then gave the fishermen, Pathak said. He set out again to meet the tribespeople on Nov. 16.

What happened then isn’t known. But on the morning of the following day, the waiting fishermen watched from a distance as the tribesmen dragged Chau’s body. They left for Port Blair, the capital of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, where they broke the news to Chau’s friend, who in turn notified his family, Pathak said.

Police charged the seven fishermen with endangering the life of the American by taking him to a prohibited area.

Chau had lived in Oklahoma, where he attended Oral Roberts University, and in southwestern Washington state, where he attended Vancouver Christian High School.

Phone messages left with some of his relatives were

not immediately returned Wednesday.

Kathleen Hosie, spokeswoman for the U.S. Consulate in Chennai, the capital of India’s southern Tamil Nadu state, said she was aware of reports concerning an American in the islands but could not comment further due to privacy considerations.

Survival International, an organization that works for the rights of tribal people, said the killing of the American should prompt Indian authorities to properly protect the lands of the Sentinelese and other Andaman tribes.

“The British colonial occupation of the Andaman Islands decimated the tribes living there, wiping out thousands of tribespeople, and only a fraction of the original population now survives. So the Sentinelese fear of outsiders is very understandable,” Stephen Corry, the group’s director, said in a statement.

Shiv Viswanathan, a social scientist and a professor at Jindal Global Law School, said North Sentinel Island was a protected area and not open to tourists. “The exact population of the tribe is not known, but it is declining. The government has to protect them,” Viswanathan said.

Poachers are known to fish illegally in the waters around the island, catching turtles and diving for lobsters and sea cucumbers. Tribespeople killed two Indian fishermen in 2006 when their boat broke loose and drifted

onto the shore.

One of Chau’s friends, Casey Prince, 39, of Cape Town, South Africa, said he met the adventurer about six years ago, when Chau was a manager on the soccer team at Oral Roberts University. Chau and others on the team traveled to South Africa to volunteer at a soccer development and social leadership program Prince founded, Ubuntu Football Academy.

Since then, Chau had been back to visit Prince and his family or tutor and coach boys in the program about four times. Most recently, he was there from mid-September to midOctober, Prince said.

Prince described him as easy to like, kind, joyful and driven by twin passions: a love of the outdoors and fervent Christianity.

“He was an explorer at heart,” Prince said. “He loved creation and being out in it, I think having probably found and connected with God that way, and deeply so.”

Prince declined to discuss what Chau had told him about his plans for traveling in India or the islands, saying instead he wanted to focus his comments on who Chau was.

But he said Chau, who previously spoke of having been bitten by a rattlesnake, accepted the dangers that came with his adventures.

“If he was taking a risk, he was very aware of it,” Prince said.

Next Mars rover will look at ancient crater It will look at former delta and lake for clues to planet’s past

By Sarah Kaplan The Washington Post

In a search for ancient life on Mars, NASA will send its next rover to explore Jezero Crater — the site of a former delta and lake.

The rover, which is scheduled to launch in 2020, is equipped with a drilling system that can collect and store rock samples that contain clues to Mars’s ancient past. Once the samples are cached, NASA hopes to send follow-up missions to retrieve the samples and return them to Earth.

“Getting samples from this lake-delta system will revolutionize how we think about Mars and its ability to harbor life,” said Thomas Zurbuchen, NASA’s associate administrator for science.

The landing site selection came after years of research and days of fierce debate over the best spot to look for evidence of ancient life on an alien world. Among the alternatives being considered were Columbia Hills, an ancient hot spring that was explored by the nowdefunct rover Spirit, and Northeast Syrtis, a network of ancient mesas that may have harbored underground water.

Ultimately, Zurbuchen said, Jezero was selected for the diversity of its terrain. Each type of rock at the site — from clays that could preserve signs of ancient organisms to volcanic rocks that hint at Mars’s planetary evolution — should help the rover achieve its two

main science goals. First, to determine what the Red Planet’s environment was like deep in the past.

And second, to figure out if life ever got going there.

Results from past missions have revealed that Mars was not always the desolate desert world we see today. Dormant volcanoes suggest it once boasted intense volcanic activity. And landforms like the dried-up delta at Jezero Crater demonstrate that liquid water existed on the surface — which means Mars may have had a thicker atmosphere to keep the water from boiling away.

This new view of Mars

resembles what is known about early Earth. And scientists know microbial life began here as early as 4 billion years ago.

If it happened here, why not there?

Jezero Crater is the best place on Mars to probe that question, said Tim Goudge, a geologist at the University of Texas who is one of the leading advocates for the site. Deltas are beloved by scientists because of the way they gather sediments from across a watershed and deposit them in layers, which eventually harden into rock. Many of the most ancient fossils found on Earth come from this kind of environ-

ment.

If a microbe ever swam in Mars’s waterways, its organic remains may still be buried in the mudstones along the rim of Jezero Crater.

“Sedimentary rocks tell us the history of what’s been happening at a site,” Goudge said. “It’s recorded in the layers, and you can read them like a book.”

In a memo announcing his selection, Zurbuchen noted that Jezero offered opportunities for exploration after its initial mission, which will last 1.5 Martian years (or about 2.8 Earth years).

The crater is not far from an area known as

“Midway,” which shares many characteristics with Northeast Syrtis. At a recent workshop to assess the potential landing sites, members of the project science team for Mars 2020 said that an extended mission connecting Jezero to Midway might allow scientists to explore the best of both sites.

Jezero Crater is a more treacherous environment than the kinds NASA usually lands in. Often, landers have to arrive at what scientists jokingly refer to as a “parking lot” — a flat, featureless region — and then drive long distances to reach rocks of actual interest. But an

innovative new technology called terrain relative navigation (TRN), which allows the spacecraft to compare images of the landscape beneath it to a map of known hazards, should make it possible for the rover to land safely.

Since TRN has never been deployed before, Zurbuchen asked engineers for an additional analysis of the technology. Without assurance that the technology will work as designed, the complex environment at Jezero might pose too high a risk for landing.

But Zurbuchen said he was happy with the progress on TRN so far.

Phones fail during wildfires, highlighting cell weaknesses

By Anousha Sakoui, Todd Shields and Scott Moritz Bloomberg

As wildfires raged across California, mobile phones went silent as towers and lines succumbed to the flames.

“We had to drive through neighborhoods with sirens and public address systems to alert residents and visitors,” said David Katz, a spokesman for the Malibu Search and Rescue Team. “In some cases, we had to go house to house on foot.”

Those experiences during the widespread fires that claimed more than 70 lives — as well as during and after hurricanes earlier this year — reveal a downside to the wireless communications upon which Americans are increasingly dependent: Mobile service falls short of old-fashioned landlines when it comes to surviving catastrophic events.

That can leave citizens unable to receive automated warnings or call 911 for help.

“The current technology gives us ubiquity, but not great resiliency,” said Jamie Barnett, a partner at the Venable law firm and former chief of the Federal Communications Commission’s public safety bureau.

More than half of U.S. households — and more than 70 percent of adults renting their homes — rely on mobile phones, according to survey results from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control.

The devices are convenient, but can fail when a storm knocks down a cell tower, when batteries run down, and when the lines that carry phone calls from towers to the network are cut during recovery efforts.

There is no requirement for cell sites to have backup power. The industry has resisted efforts to make that mandatory, arguing that it would be overly burdensome in part because it can be expensive to rent space for equipment and hard to get permits to store fuel in some places.

Widespread service failures after Hurricane Michael in Florida last month brought criticism from the FCC, which is now reviewing phone companies’ performance.

President Donald Trump visited ravaged areas of California on Saturday and viewed the charred remains of burned-out homes dur-

ing a visit accompanied

by Gov. Jerry Brown and Gov.-elect Gavin Newsom.

The president stressed common ground on how to approach the forestfire problem, marking a change of tone from his previous criticism of the state’s Democratic leaders.

The largest mobile providers said they were working hard to restore service as soon as crews are able to access damaged areas.

“Overall, our network continues to perform well and is currently operating at more than 99 percent of normal in affected areas in Northern and Southern California,” said Jim Greer, an AT&T spokesman.

“Our wireless network has performed amazingly well throughout the devastating fire,” said Howie Waterman, a Verizon spokesman.

In decades past, telephones at the end of copper lines could offer service, even during widespread electricity failures, if a nearby hub managed to have power, perhaps from a generator.

That’s not to say that arrangement is indestructible. For weeks after Hurricane Maria bombarded Puerto Rico last year, landline service was “generally non-existent,” according to an FCC report.

Cellphone service, too, was badly damaged but recovered faster, pointing to an advantage of mobile service: phone companies keep portable cell towers that they move into trouble zones when needed.

In California, the city of Malibu tweeted on Nov. 13 that AT&T and Verizon Communications were installing temporary towers. AT&T said it deployed eight truck-borne cell sites, including four in Malibu and three in Paradise.

Nevertheless, vulnerability increases as dependence on wireless phones grows. The number of wireless service outages reported to the FCC jumped to 1,079 in 2016 from 189 seven years earlier, according to the Government Accountability Office. Accidents such as damage to cables during construction work made up about three-fourths of the total, with almost all the remainder due to storms and fires, the agency said.

The GAO said network resiliency would be improved if there was a requirement for power backups at cell towers. It

also listed possible disadvantages of such an approach: some cell sites, such as rooftops, might not be able to accommodate heavy backup gear, and power interruptions could outlast an emergency battery, or a generator’s fuel supply.

After Hurricane Michael swept through Florida last month, FCC Chairman Ajit Pai criticized what he called “slow progress” in restoring wireless service.

Five days after the storm struck, 65 percent of cell sites in hard-hit Bay County weren’t working, according to agency figures.

Pai ordered an investigation, which is continuing.

Carriers defended their restoration efforts and offered free mobile service to some customers.

More recently, AT&T offered waivers of fees for some services for landline customers affected by three California fires.

And some wireless providers have handed out free phones.

The vast majority of service interruptions in California were caused by underground fiber lines being burned, according to a Verizon spokeswoman. If fiber is carried on poles that burn down, then there will also be service interruption.

FCC commissioners who monitored efforts in Florida reported a sometimes-chaotic scene, with crews sent in to restore power lines and other utilities at times cutting fiber lines that support phone networks.

“Cuts during recovery and restoration are something that we see through every storm,” FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr said at a Nov. 15 news conference. “We have to do a better job of that, in addition to the broader questions of making sure the network itself survives the storm.”

After Hurricane Katrina devastated parts of the Gulf Coast in 2005, the FCC passed requirements for backup power for mobile phone sites. The wireless industry opposed the regulations in court and the FCC withdrew them.

The FCC agreed to voluntary steps proposed by the carriers in 2016 that calls for them to help each other, and to consult with localities. After disasters strike, the agency publishes data that shows what portion of a county’s cell sites are working, without specifying performance company-by-company.

Today we give thanks An all-American holiday to celebrate grace and good fortune Happy Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving is an all-American moment to acknowledge that none of us succeeds alone and that all of us are part of a greater community.

Other nations have harvest festivals or religious celebrations of blessings, but the tradition of a holiday to mark what we have by grace and good fortune — a moment that is simultaneously secular and religious — is a uniquely American hybrid that has often been imitated The past several years, the Tulsa World has styled its Thanksgiving paper as the Thankful Edition, dedicating pages throughout the paper to stories about people who are doing good things or have some special reason to be thankful. It’s been a big hit with our readers who appreciate the holiday tone to our product.

On the editorial page, we set aside our usual debates of politics and policy in favor of consideration of the eternal verities for Thanksgiving.

Each year, we invite community leaders to offer their meditations on any Thanksgiving theme they choose.

This year Calvin Moore, president and CEO of Meals on Wheels of Metro Tulsa Inc., remembers the sense of community around his grandmother’s Thanksgiving table and relates that to his group’s efforts to bring food to those who need assistance.

Camille Prevett, a member of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation and fifthgrade reading teacher, tells the story of the first Thanksgiving from a different perspective than we normally hear and explains the complex relationship Native Americans have with the holiday.

We commend each of them to your reading.

We’ll go back to our usual format tomorrow, but for today, we are pleased to join our readers in offering public thanks for those things that make us fortunate as individuals, families and citizens.

Thankful for a culture of generosity

By Calvin A. Moore

My grandmother’s house at Thanksgiving was always a special place. Oven-roasted turkey, green bean casseroles, the smell of cornbread dressing and the sight of my Aunt Rita’s lemon meringue pies, coupled with the smiling faces, a fine tradition of storytelling and warm embraces from loved ones made that day Moore special above others. As a kid, it produced in me a sense that all was right in the world.

In rural south Mississippi, it was not unusual on Thanksgiving Day or any other day for that matter, for folks to just drop by. Some were friends or acquaintances of the family, others were unexpected guests, and sometimes, complete strangers.

Our grandmother, Jamesetta Fairley, affectionately known as Granny, would make unexpected guests feel as though the Thanksgiving meal and celebration was prepared specially for them. She would take the time to introduce our guests and make them feel welcome. She would include them in our family traditions, especially when each member would take turns uttering a few words about what they

were most thankful for. She would take time to make room for them at the table. Togetherness mattered.

Her example helped us understand that kindness, unconditional positive regard for others, the fundamental recognition that life is made sweet by the people we embrace, the bonds we form with each other and the promises we keep to one another — a culture of generosity — is something we should all strive for and be thankful for.

For the past four years, I have had the honor and privilege of leading and serving Meals on Wheels of Metro Tulsa. Throughout the past two decades of involvement in

the not-for-profit sector, I’ve seen the work that we and many other charitable organizations do as an embodiment and expression of this culture of generosity, where relationship, connection, transformation and opportunity have become essential.

Today, 150 community volunteers, 200 meals on wheels drivers, staff and board members will come together in this spirit of service to express fully this culture of generosity. Working together, we will deliver Thanksgiving meals, caring conversations and safety and wellness checks to help seniors and others who live with challenges remain independent, vibrant and safe

in their homes.

This work reminds me each day, that even the most independent among us, if fortunate to live a long life, may experience a decline in health that can chip away our independence and lower our quality of life. Average life expectancy has risen to nearly 80 years. Living longer means more years dealing with the struggles that accompany advanced age. Add to that the increase in geographic mobility of our families, and the result is thousands of Oklahoma seniors left behind, food insecure and alone. Factor in the struggles, and the challenges of loneliness, isolation and depression, and it becomes clear that we need to cultivate our values of community, inclusion and generosity more than ever.

As I pause to give thanks and serve today, I am aware that we are blessed as a city, as a community and as people, when we cast a vision of generous giving and gracious living, so great in breadth and depth that all can live in an environment where everyone cares, where everyone counts and where togetherness matters.

Many Native Americans view day with mourning

By Camille Prevett

During the fall of 1621, the Pilgrims and Wampanoag sat down to eat a meal that became known as the first Thanksgiving. They ate turkey, pumpkin and cornbread, or so every American history and children’s book tells us.

There was an event that Prevett occurred within the realm of what could be considered a feast; however, most Native Americans would tell you this history is wrong and not quite as civilized as one might think.

In the early fall, the Pilgrims harvested their first successful crop then shared with the Wampanoag, but this is not the first time Native Americans had contact with Europeans.

A mere five years earlier, the Wampanoag was nearly triple in size before Europeans

brought the plague over on ships and captured whatever natives survived and had not taken solace elsewhere. When the Pilgrims arrived, they settled in an area known as Patuxet, which was once a thriving Wampanoag village.

Over time, the Wampanoag developed a relationship with the Pilgrims. Unlike the first wave of Europeans, the Pilgrims traveled across the sea as families, leading the Wampanoag to believe they meant no harm. Traditionally, Native American tribes did not travel with women and children if they intended on attacking others.

Eventually, the Wampanoag taught the Pilgrims how to grow corn, fish and gather berries and herbs.

While the first Thanksgiving was the result of reciprocity, it was also the last Thanksgiving that represented that reciprocity.

The Pilgrims wanted to show their thanks to the Wampanoag by inviting them to eat

with them. There was a great deal of sharing and peacemaking, but Thanksgiving has become completely different to many Native Americans today.

Shortly after the first Thanksgiving, native people fell under attack from the settlers. As settlers began taking possession of native lands, tribal communities suffered great losses and were forcibly removed from their homelands. Some communities were completely annihilated and cease to exist today.

Many natives still gather with their friends and family to partake in a meal, but these gatherings act as a means of mourning.

While there are other national holidays Native Americans treat as days of mourning, Thanksgiving represents the beginning of the end.

The end of Native American cultures and traditions due to removal and forced assimilation. The end of tribal languages as a result of abuse in boarding schools. The end of

Turtle Island and the beginning of what is now known as America.

In many Native American homes and communities, you may see the Three Sisters — corn, beans and squash — being served in some manner on Thanksgiving because it represents strength to many native people. Alone, the stability of these crops is weak, but they work together to create a strong trio.

Some communities may host a ceremony with singing and dancing as means of praying and honoring their ancestors.

There are several different dances performed to allow for healing. And some families don’t do anything different on this day because it is not something that should be acknowledged.

ulsa animal control officers saw more and more homeless people on street corners with pets.

So they started collecting pet food.

“People would see animal control officers coming toward them, and they would run away,” said Susan Stoker, field supervisor for Tulsa Animal Welfare.

Police say man arrested after asking officers for drugs, fleeing

By Stetson Payne Tulsa World

After allegedly asking officers where he could buy illicit substances, an Arkansas man led Tulsa law enforcement on a drawnout, low-speed chase with officers using stop sticks nearly half a dozen times.

Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office deputies finally arrested Joshua Stacy, 31, of Jacksonville, Arkansas, when they pulled him from his Ford F-350 in the 700 block of East Charles Page Boulevard in Sand Springs.

TCSO Capt. John Bryant said the chase started when Tulsa police officers were working a col-

lision near the 400 block of South Houston Avenue about midnight Wednesday. At the collision scene, Stacy reportedly pulled up and hollered at the officers incoherently. “(Stacy) began asking of-

ficers where he could find drugs to purchase and if they had drugs they could sell him,” Bryant said. “The officers then attempted to stop the individual because he appeared to be not in his right mind and shouldn’t

have been driving.”

Stacy then fled the scene with Tulsa officers in pursuit through downtown.

Speeds never reached more than about 19 mph, Bryant said, with the chase cutting through empty downtown streets and eventually to the IDL. After 20 minutes and having deployed stop sticks once, Tulsa police asked deputies for assistance with the chase.

A procession of Tulsa officers, sheriff’s deputies and at least one Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper followed Stacy’s truck and attempted multiple times to puncture the truck’s tires.

Bryant said the stop sticks soon became a

safety hazard to other officers and the public as the chase progressed on Charles Page Boulevard into Sand Springs, where Sand Springs police joined the pursuit and Tulsa police backed off.

Stacy reportedly stopped several times, shouting and talking with officers and news crews. Several officers used PepperBall launchers to try to force Stacy from the truck.

The chase ended in the Atwoods parking lot when Stacy pulled off the road, all but two of the truck’s six tires running flat.

He became combative with deputies and had to be forcibly removed from the cab of the dam-

aged pickup, bucking and screaming until he could be put in the back of a deputy’s vehicle.

Bryant said several deputies suffered minor cuts and scrapes from broken glass and from taking Stacy to the ground during his arrest. Stacy was booked into the Tulsa County jail on complaints of eluding, resisting arrest and a previous 2009 felony case, according to jail records. He is being held in lieu of a $15,500 bond.

“So for homeless people or people who are in need of help, these pets can bring such comfort and joy into their lives.

These pets are so important to them.

“Whatever the situation, whether it is getting them food or medical care or whatever, if we can help the pets, that helps the person. Feeding and caring for these pets is crucial for these people.”

In many cases, help for a pet can save both the life of the pet and the person who cares about the pet.

“Absolutely,” Frederick said.

“These are people that will do absolutely anything to save their pets, so if we do something to help the pet then we’ve done something very important for the pet owner.”

The food for Feeding the Pets of Tulsa’s Homeless comes in from several places. There are people who give regular donations, as well as local pet supply companies that help.

Several nonprofit groups around Tulsa donate time to fill one-gallon bags filled with either dog or cat food.

Then Tulsa Animal Welfare workers donate time to help distribute the food to homeless people at a couple of locations each week. The group has been

passing out pet food at Iron Gate, 501 S. Cincinnati Ave., on Wednesday mornings. It also passes out pet food on Thursday nights at Night Light Tulsa, 202 N. Maybelle Ave. “It isn’t just homeless,” Stoker said. “We’re finding there are a lot of people out there who are working but just don’t make enough money to care for themselves and their pet.

“So we help people all the time who are living paycheck to paycheck and may be living in their car. Everyone is in a different situation. We’re just

there to help those folks. Whatever their circumstance, if they are in need, we want to help.”

There’s no way to know exactly how many pets in Tulsa are being fed each week through the group.

“The need is always growing,” Stoker said. “No matter how much food we have, there are always more people in need.

“We’ve really grown over the years. But the more people we can help is more people that can care for their pet and fewer pets that have to be in our shelter.”

At the start about five years ago, Stoker and a few other officers put together a plan.

Stoker picked up 10-pound bags of donated pet food on trips to a Minnesota shelter.

Two animal control officers, Pete Theriot and Jeff Brown, started distributing the food to homeless people with pets they noticed on the street.

From that point the program has grown at an amazing rate.

And it’s grown beyond food.

Now they host regular veterinarian clinics so that pets of the homeless can get medical treatments such as vaccines that they need.

The regular food distribution now sometimes includes additional clothing, people food, blankets, pillows and even haircuts. They also often have a small library of books to share.

“Anything to make life a little bit better for these folks,” Stoker said. “We want their lives to be better so that the lives of their pets can be better. We want them to be able to keep and care for their pets.”

The group is preparing Christmas stockings to give homeless pet owners in the upcoming weeks. It expects to pass out more than 100 stockings that are filled with leashes, collars, harnesses, dog coats, blankets, chew toys, bowls and treats.

“Maybe that helps someone who wants to treat their dog to be able to treat themselves for Christmas,” Stoker said.

“We know the best place for a pet is with their pet owner who loves them because the animals give them unconditional love. In many cases, people will give up everything, they’ll not get the help they need, to stay and take care of their pets. We want to help them care for those pets.”

As the need grows so do the donations. Now there are a lot of ways people and organizations can get involved.

“We’re always looking for help,” Stoker said. “We’re up to passing out about 1,000 pounds of pet food every week, but we know there is a need for more.

Tulsa is such a great community. I hear people talk about the generosity of Tulsans all the time, and it is true.

“I understand there are a lot of needs in our city, in any city.

This program takes donations to help pets, but in reality it helps so many people, too.

These are people who absolutely love their pets, want the best for their pets, and if we can give them a little peace of mind, it is a wonderful thing.”

Cat obit raises $3K for humane society BELLOWS FALLS, Vt. (AP) — A Vermont man has helped raise more than $3,000 for a local humane society through a humorous and heartfelt obituary for his cat.

The Brattleboro Reformer reports Bellows Falls artist Charlie Hunter posted the obituary for his cat Pvt. Silas Goodrich on Facebook last week, saying that his nearly 18-year-old companion has gone to “the catnip patch in the sky.”

Hunter says that Goodrich was put to sleep after his health declined due to kidney disease.

Hunter encouraged readers to donate to the Windham County Humane Society in exchange for a sticker of Silas’ face.

He says writing the obit and raising money for the humane society has helped him deal with the sadness of the loss of his beloved pet.

Israel steps up boycott fight after Airbnb ban in settlements

By Isabel Debre Associated Press

KFAR ADUMIM, West Bank — Israel said Tuesday it would slap high taxes on vacation rental company Airbnb and encourage legal steps against the site over its decision to ban listings from West Bank settlements.

The threats of sanctions ramp up Israel’s fight against a global movement advocating for boycotts over the country’s treatment of the Palestinians.

The Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions campaign, also known as BDS, has claimed a number of successes in recent years, leading Israel to identify it as a major threat.

Israeli Tourism Minister Yariv Levin called on Airbnb to reverse what he called a “discriminatory decision” and “disgraceful surrender” to the boycott movement, vowing that Israel would retaliate.

“If you have a policy of discrimination against Israelis you cannot earn money in Israel,” he told The Associated Press.

He also said the government would encourage hosts in West Bank settlements to sue the company

to make it “pay” for its decision. Levin added that Israel would impose other restrictions on Airbnb’s operations in the country, without elaborating.

Airbnb announced on Monday that it would delist some 200 properties in the coming days and cease its operations in Israeli settlements “that are at the core of the dispute between the Israelis and Palestinians.” The company declined to comment on the Israeli threats.

Israel captured the West Bank and east Jerusalem in the 1967 Middle East war. Today over 400,000 Israeli settlers live in the West Bank, in addition to some 200,000 Israelis in east Jerusalem.

Most of the international community considers settlements illegal and an impediment to the creation of an independent Palestinian state. Israel sees the territory as disputed and says the fate of the settlements must be resolved in peace negotiations with the Palestinians.

The boycott movement, which calls for sanctions against settlement products and companies doing business in the West Bank, has made inroads in recent

years, helping to tarnish Israel’s international image and prompting it to take retaliatory measures.

Israel has enacted a law banning any foreigner who “knowingly issues a public call for boycotting Israel” from entering the country.

It has identified activist groups from around the world whose members can be denied entry upon arrival.

BDS supporters say that in urging businesses, artists and universities to sever ties with Israel, they are using nonviolent means to

resist unjust policies toward Palestinians. Israel says the movement masks its motives to delegitimize or destroy the Jewish state.

The Palestinian-led movement claims responsibility for pressuring some large companies to stop or alter operations in Israel or the West Bank, including carbonated drink maker SodaStream, French construction company Veolia and international mobile phone giant Orange.

Airbnb’s decision coincided with the publication

of a Human Rights Watch report Tuesday investigating tourist rental listings in settlements by Airbnb and Booking.com.

Entitled “Bed-andBreakfast on Stolen Land,” the report says that Israeli settlements’ discrimination against Palestinians uniquely violates humanitarian law and Airbnb’s nondiscrimination policy.

Most Palestinians must obtain a permit to enter the settlements or Israel proper and typically do so as laborers.

Omar Shakir, Human Rights Watch’s IsraelPalestine director, said that with its threatened sanctions, Israel was prioritizing its support for settlements over a thriving tourism industry in Israel proper that relies on services like Airbnb. If applied, the sanctions could affect lodging costs for thousands of tourists expected to arrive in Tel Aviv next year for the Eurovision song contest.

Shakir said the government’s response “reflects the degree to which the government is willing to go, putting the whole country’s interests at stake over its illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank.”

Human Rights Watch, along with Palestinian officials and other rights groups, have for years pressured Airbnb to pull out of Israeli-occupied territory.

Senior Palestinian official Saeb Erekat called Airbnb’s decision an “initial positive step,” and urged the company to extend its decision to Israeli listings in east Jerusalem. The BDS movement echoed that sentiment in a statement on its website.

For settler hosts, who see their homes as an integral part of Israel, the decision triggered outrage and confusion.

Tsofiya Jacob has rented out her apartment in the Kfar Adumim settlement using Airbnb for the past year and a half to a regular rotation of European and American tourists. She advertises her rental on Airbnb as an “escape from daily tumult” in Israel, and doesn’t mention that the property, complete with a Jacuzzi and desert views, is located in the West Bank.

“I see this (community) as part of home, part of Israel,” Jacob said. “I understand the sensitivities but despite that, in my opinion, we are here.”

Disabled veterans bond during annual deer hunt More than 40 participated in this year’s Disabled American Veterans Hunt

By Katie Lauer Post-Bulletin

ROCHESTER, Minn. — Tom McLaughlin sat shotgun in a Polaris ATV with his blaze orange jacket, 870 Remington shotgun and wooden walking stick while he was driven out to his hunting blind on the far southeast side of Chester Woods Park.

Through miles of winding trails, the low roar of the ATV was seemingly the only noise in the freshly snowy park — except for the occasional gunshot.

The 71-year-old disabled Vietnam veteran was one of 41 hunters in this year’s Disabled American Veterans Hunt.

“This is a unique situation,” McLaughlin told the Post-Bulletin . “This is really a benefit to disabled veterans who don’t have a chance to go out and hunt, if not at Chester Woods.”

Once a year for the past seven years, the park is closed down for veterans and their dependents to hunt whitetail deer. A perfect pairing, the park’s trails create greater accessibility for the veterans, who in turn help control the deer population in a management hunt.

While his son sets up his own tree stand, McLaughlin — who, in Vietnam, was shot multiple times and lost his left leg — hunts in a ground blind with a heater (and snacks) in an area that allows him to walk around in the woods to his own abilities.

He’s harvested one deer

Veteran Tom McLaughlin readies himself for a ride to a deer blind in Chester Woods Park in Olmsted County, Minnesota, with help from Nate Pike (left) of Olmsted County Veterans Services. Olmsted County has closed the park for about two weeks to allow hunts to manage the deer herd in the park. Disabled veterans get an opportunity to hunt for four of those days.

throughout his now four hunts, but he said it’s really not about the deer at the end of the day.

“This gives me, being a veteran and having a son who’s a combat veteran, the opportunity for us to get out and do something together that we don’t always have the chance to do with my limitations,” he said. “This way, ‘Dad’ gets to go along, and he gets to spend time with his son.

“We have that common bond of combat, and now we have this thing that we can go out and bond even more.”

That level of access and camaraderie is what Chester

Woods park manager Tom Eckdahl said is the whole point of the hunt.

“It’s about the desire to want to give back; it isn’t about killing deer,” Eckdahl said, although that aspect is helpful, too. “It’s been just a highlight for us.”

Each year, Chester Woods staff, volunteers and local businesses provide blinds, stands, heaters, clothing and more for the veterans. There’s even two track chairs for those in wheelchairs or with limited mobility. They also have people who help in the field, prepare meals throughout the day and even

butcher any harvested deer.

Eckdahl said this is all put together to provide the best, accessible experience possible, even for those not familiar with hunting.

“The veterans are students of the firearm, but they’re not all students of the hunt,” he said.

“We’re wanting to teach something, and we’re at their beck and call.”

Iraq veteran Leah Langdon said she appreciates that high level of help and commitment.

“I think that a lot of people don’t realize or understand how much goes into it,” Langdon said. “They really do a lot

to make sure that everyone will be able to come out here with their different ability levels. Literally, all you have to do is show up, they take care of everything for you, and I think that’s something that’s been really amazing and has helped a lot of people come back.”

The now 33-year-old graduate student from Mapleton said she always looks forward to the hunt — being the only weekend she takes off all year.

“There’s just something about sitting out in the woods by yourself, and if it weren’t for this, I probably wouldn’t have the opportunity to otherwise,” she said. “I love the staff and a lot of the hunters are repeat hunters, so it’s almost like we have our own little hunting family now.”

According to their turnout statistics, that “family” has grown quite large: One year, they had a veteran who had served in each of the conflicts from World War II to present day; The veterans’ disabilities range from muscular/skeletal problems and amputated limbs to those with hearing loss and mental health issues; They’ve even had vets travel from out of state from places such as Delaware and Florida.

Eckdahl said this has become one of the top hunts in the state, alongside other hunts in places like Mankato and Camp Ripley.

But he said that success simply wouldn’t happen without all of the dozens of people involved.

“We really want to thank our commissioners and the list of 60-plus businesses and organizations,” he said. “With their blessing and approval, it’s allowed us to continue this event.”

Company’s flu vaccine production method may boost protection Flucelvax was produced with cellbased technology

By Riley Ray Griffin Bloomberg

Crafting better flu shots comes down to dispensing with 1940s technology, according to CSL Ltd., which says its new method of vaccine production may offer better protection against the virus that killed almost 200 American children last season.

Flucelvax, an immunization produced by CSL’s Seqirus unit with cell-based technology, was 36.2 percent more effective in preventing flu-like illness last winter than conventional

shots made using chicken eggs, the Melbournebased company said in a study released Friday.

Vaccination is recognized as the best way to protect against the respiratory disease, which kills as many as 650,000 people annually. Still, the shot’s effectiveness varies from year to year, depending on the closeness of the match between that season’s circulating viruses and the vaccine, which is usually reformulated annually. While eggs have been used to grow flu viruses to make vaccines for decades, scientists have found that once inside the egg, flu tends to undergo adaptive changes that makes it better suited to chickens, not people. Am-

plifying vaccine viruses in mammalian cell culture aims to avoid that problem.

“This is a real advance,” said Paul Perreault, CSL’s chief executive officer, in a telephone interview.

“Cell-based technologies are showing effectiveness.

It tends to give a better match and will help tremendously in the confidence for consumers to go out and get vaccinated.”

The prospect of better protection comes at a higher cost. Seqirus, which is the world’s largest cell-based influenza vaccine producer, said Flucelvax has a list price of $20.47 for a standard 0.5 ml dose — slightly more than egg-based options like Fluzone, Fluarix

and FluLaval, whose prices range from $15 to $17, according to Bloomberg data. An alternative eggfree approach from Parisbased Sanofi, called Flublok, uses recombinant proteins to genetically match prevailing strains.

“There’s a slight premium on the cell-based, and should be if it’s more effective,” Perreault said.

Seqirus made 21 million doses using the technology during the 2017-2018 season at a plant in Holly Springs, North Carolina. A process improvement program approved recently by the Food and Drug Administration will enable it to ramp up supply and respond faster in the event of a flu pandemic or vaccine shortages.

128 Chicago school workers out after background checks CHICAGO (AP) — A review of Chicago Public Schools’ background checks prompted by a newspaper investigation has resulted in nearly 130 school district employees being terminated, recommended for dismissal or simply resigning under scrutiny.

Among the 128 workers were nine teachers, 35 people classified as classroom aides and an unspecified number of people the district lists as substitute or hourly workers, the Chicago Tribune reported.

Another 124 employees remain barred from work because they haven’t submitted fresh fingerprints for an updated background check.

The district’s review, and additional measures to protect students, came after the newspaper reported in June that ineffective background checks sometimes exposed students to educators with criminal convictions and arrests for sex crimes against children.

The vast majority of the district’s more than 68,000 school employees, vendors and volunteers have been cleared for duty, the district said.

Updated statistics show that district officials have also moved to part ways with hundreds of workers, vendors and volunteers, even as they continue reviewing newly obtained information on hundreds of other adults to determine if they should be allowed into schools.

The Tribune reported that 27 coaches, plus a group of 350 vendors and volunteers, still can’t work in district schools after their background checks uncovered information that prompted a closer district review of their personal history.

Citing state privacy laws, the district declined

to identify the pulled workers and volunteers, the schools where they were assigned and the nature of background check information that led to their removal or dismissal.

“With egg-based vaccines, you need to order more eggs and need more chickens,” Perreault said.

“But cells can be generated immediately.”

The company collected electronic medical records from 92,192 people who received a cell-based vaccine and 1,255,983 people who received an egg-based vaccine during the last influenza season between Aug. 1, 2017 and March 31, 2018. The sample population included U.S. patients over the age of 4 who received either form of vaccine in primary care.

The last 2017-2018 Northern American flu season, in which the H3N2 strain dominated, was especially bad, lead-

ing to some 900,000 hospitalizations, including 185 pediatric deaths, in the U.S. alone.

Last season’s shot reduced a person’s overall risk of having to seek medical care at a doctor’s office for flu-like illness by 40 percent, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta said this month. Effectiveness for the H3N2 strain was 25 percent.

So-called egg-adapted changes to the viruses used in the vaccine might have contributed. That production method was discovered by Nobel prizewinner Frank Macfarlane Burnet in Melbourne in the 1940s and routinely used by vaccine makers since.

Cash-strapped Argentines won’t give up their beef

By Pablo Gonzalez and Patrick Gillespie Bloomberg

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — Four blocks from the presidential palace in downtown Buenos Aires, a construction worker organizes lunch for his 25-person crew.

Rather than fetching sandwiches from a nearby store, he’s cooking up two huge slabs of beef and sausages inside the 3-foot-high bucket of a mechanical digger that serves as a makeshift barbecue.

“It’s a luxury we aren’t ready to give up,” says Carlos, one of the workers, who will pay 135 pesos ($3.80) for the meal served without salad or even a plate. “Without our end-of-the-week asado, we couldn’t survive.”

Argentines are prepared to sacrifice a lot amid the longest recession in 17 years — from buying stale bread to forgoing name-brand pasta. But they’re not about to skimp on beef.

In the sixth-largest ranching nation, grilled beef is so ingrained in culinary and social habits that consumption is proving resilient to belt-tightening.

Argentines wolfed down their famed grilled cuts at an annualized rate of 57.7 kilograms (127 pounds) per person in the first 10 months, up slightly from the

last two years, according to data compiled by industry group CICCRA. A dip in September proved short lived with consumption bouncing back in October.

The data show Argentina is still much more carnivorous

than much richer nations on a per capita basis. To be sure, that may not be surprising considering how tender and flavorsome the country’s grass-fed beef is.

But it’s coming as the economy is predicted to shrink 2

percent this year, inflation is running at about 40 percent, unemployment is nudging 10 percent and the peso is down almost 50 percent, the most among emerging currencies. It’s little surprise then that consum-

er confidence is the lowest since President Mauricio Macri took office in late 2015.

Other staples are getting hit hard.

Bread consumption was down 40 percent in September from August, according to a organization representing 300 bakeries, partly because of a surge in costs as Macri winds back energy subsidies. Some bakeries have stopped giving away bread at the end of the day and instead are selling it at a 50 percent discount.

“This crisis is the worst I have seen in my 76 years,” Daniel Insua, an adviser and former president of the Western Bakeries Association, said by telephone.

“A lot of our members are going back to wood ovens as it’s cheaper than using natural gas.”

Premium gasoline consumption has also slumped as people switch to cheaper regular fuel, while shoppers are going down market in products such as pasta, rice and sodas. But there’s little to show they’re seeking out cheaper proteins.

“Some, mainly pensioners, are buying less beef, but they keep buying,” said Delfina Porcel, a butcher and grocer in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Constitucion. “Most of them have stopped buying tomatoes or lettuce rather than beef.”

In Texas DA’s office, a tattooed tilt to the left Self-styled ‘biker lawyer’ signals shift in legal system

By Justin Jouvenal The Washington Post

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Mark Gonzalez was speeding across the south Texas plains last year when a police officer pulled him over, he said. He had a routine for such stops.

Gonzalez cut the engine and stretched his tattoo-covered arms out the window to show he wasn’t a threat. He knew that when the officer ran his information through a law enforcement database, he would pop up as a member of a motorcycle club that police consider a gang, though members call it a social club.

“I’m the newly elected district attorney of Nueces County, and I’m going to come back as a gang member,” Gonzalez recalls telling the officer.

The officer let him go.

The improbable ascent of the self-styled “Mexican biker lawyer” to a top law enforcement job two years ago speaks to the profound change sweeping dozens of local prosecutors’ offices across the country. From deep on the Gulf Coast to Denver, Chicago and Philadelphia, voters in recent years have been turning to a new wave of district attorneys pushing a boldly liberal agenda.

They are freezing use of the death penalty, decriminalizing marijuana possession, diverting lowlevel offenders to classes and treatment instead of jail, vowing to aggressively prosecute police shootings and seeking less severe sentences.

In a field that is 95 percent white and overwhelmingly male and

straight, many are minorities, women or gay and hail from unlikely backgrounds, such as civil rights work or the public defender’s office.

The push intensified in the midterm elections, with liberal groups including George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, the American Civil Liberties Union and a political action committee created by Black Lives Matter activist Shaun King contributing millions of dollars or resources to expand this still relatively small pool of progressive prosecutors. They had notable successes in Boston, Dallas and San Antonio, as well as in the race for Delaware attorney general, an office that handles criminal cases.

Collectively, the prosecutors represent one of the biggest hopes for criminal-justice reformers in an era when President Donald Trump had largely pushed for a harsher approach — until he recently endorsed a bipartisan bill loosening mandatory minimum sentences.

The nation’s 2,400 dis-

trict attorneys wield significant power in the criminal-justice system, with wide discretion over charging and sentencing and influence over which defendants are granted the right to post bond.

This new breed of prosecutors is upending a traditional tough-on-crime focus by emphasizing a holistic approach over conviction rates and long sentences.

Over the summer, Wesley Bell, a black City Council member in Ferguson, Missouri, and former public defender, unseated Bob McCulloch, the prosecutor who didn’t bring charges against the police officer who shot Michael Brown in 2014. Bell’s victory was powered by anger over the way McCulloch handled the case.

Civil rights lawyer Larry Krasner won a landslide victory in Philadelphia’s district-attorney race in November 2017, promising one of the nation’s most ambitious agendas. Krasner fired 31 prosecutors during his first week on the job, saying they were

insufficiently committed to his overhaul. He slashed prosecutions of sex workers and ordered his staff to seek plea deals that generated the least amount of prison time, not the most.

Few of their stories are as surprising as the 39-year-old Gonzalez’s: Could a man who had never prosecuted a case in his life transform justice in a state synonymous with an uncompromising approach to law and order?

Gonzalez wore brown cowboy boots and drove a large pickup truck when he arrived at the Nueces County Courthouse on a Monday in mid-October, but otherwise it’s hard to imagine someone further from the image of a Texas lawman.

There’s the biker affiliation. A “Not Guilty” tattoo splashed across his chest that celebrates his victories as a defense attorney.

And an office decorated with a large and dramatic portrait of Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapata.

Beyond style, what has made Gonzalez a polarizing figure in Nueces

County and brought him national attention is the substance of the changes he has been trying to implement.

Gonzalez said he has sought to charge defendants less punitively and seek shorter sentences.

He is diverting people charged with a handful of misdemeanors, such as marijuana possession, from the courts, instead asking that a fine be imposed. The money goes to funding positions in the District Attorney’s Office and charity. Those who can’t afford to pay can perform community service.

He said he has opened case files to defense attorneys, giving them every shred of evidence that might help their clients. And he has signed a letter rebuking former Attorney General Jeff Sessions for instructing federal prosecutors to seek

stiffer sentences.

When asked to explain his approach, Gonzalez jumped from a chair in his office and began rummaging through boxes that remain packed nearly two years after his election. He was looking for a photo that is every bit as important to his career as the law degree that hangs nearby — his mug shot.

He has blown up and framed the grainy photo.

An 18-year-old Gonzalez stares out, his lips pursed as if trying to suppress a smile. It was taken shortly after he was booked for driving while intoxicated in nearby Kleberg County following a party in 1999.

“Everyone needs to always remember what they’ve been through, how you were treated and how it affects you,” Gonzales said. “How many DAs have a mug shot?”

POLITICS A WEEKLY LOOK AT THE PEOPLE, POLLS & POLICIES SHAPING THE POLITICAL LANDSCAPE

THE 116TH U.S. CONGRESS

Meet the Dems likely to wield gavels in ’19

By Kevin Freking

N

The Associated Press

ow that Democrats have captured control of the House for the next two years, the party’s most senior members are poised to regain the wide-ranging power of committee chairmanships. While some of the Democrats have gained fame in feuds with President Donald Trump, others are relatively little-known outside of Capitol Hill.

A look at the Democratic lawmakers expected to wield the gavels and shape the party’s top priorities:

NITA LOWEY

APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE

Lowey, 81, would be the first woman to oversee the committee that determines where the federal government spends its money.

The New York Democrat, who represents the lower Hudson Valley, said the committee will seek to increase funding for infrastructure and for safety-net programs such as Head Start and Pell grants.

ADAM SCHIFF

INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE

Schiff, 58, represents parts of Los Angeles, including Hollywood and Burbank. As the top Democrat on the intelligence panel, he has been one of Trump’s favorite foils in Congress.

Schiff has repeatedly criticized the House’s Russia investigation, which his GOP colleagues conducted, saying it was inadequate.

Now Schiff will get his chance to conduct his own targeted investigation into Trump’s 2016 campaign and its ties to Russia.

ELIJAH CUMMINGS

oversight and govt. reform committee

Cummings, 67, will likely head the committee that could make life the toughest for the Trump White House because of its broad investigative powers. Cummings would likely seek Trump’s business tax returns and other company-related financial records. He said he will work to make the president accountable, but will also challenge Republicans to uphold their oversight responsibilities, saying, “I think we as a body can do better.”

JERROLD NADLER

Judiciary Committee

Nadler, 71, has been in Congress since 1992 and has served on the Judiciary Committee for much of that time. He is expected to make one of his first priorities as chairman protecting special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation and requesting that Mueller’s materials are preserved in case he is fired. The Judiciary panel would also oversee impeachment proceedings, if Democrats decided to move in that direction. But Nadler has expressed caution about the idea.

Dems planning House overhaul Rules package lays out new majority party’s priorities for new Congress in 2019

By Lisa Mascaro The Associated Press

H

WASHINGTON — ouse Democrats unveiled a draft rules package last week for how they would govern the chamber when they take over the majority in the new Congress next year.

The changes are large and small, from a requirement to post legislation at least 72 hours before action is taken to restoring some floor rights for the resident commissioner from Puerto Rico and other nonvoting delegates.

One change, proposed by Rep.-elect Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, who is Muslim, clarifies the 180-year-old rule against wearing hats on the House floor to allow for religious headwear, including headscarves.

The rules package is traditionally the first vote of the new Congress. It is considered a reflection of a party’s priorities and influences legislation.

The draft from incoming Rules

Waters, 80, is expected to chair a committee with oversight of banks, insurers and investment firms. She has opposed Republican-led efforts to roll back the DoddFrank financial reform law and is promising colleagues that she will prioritize protecting consumers from abusive financial practices.

The California lawmaker can also conduct aggressive oversight of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and steps it has taken to reduce enforcement.

president’s business interests. Protecting the State Department is also a priority for him, including looking into whether career officials have been “purged” because they were deemed insufficiently loyal to the president.

COLLIN PETERSON

RICHARD NEAL

Agriculture Committee

Ways and Means Committee

Peterson, 74, is a moderate from a heavily rural congressional district in western Minnesota. He is a strong critic of Trump’s trade policies and could use his platform to highlight how farmers have been harmed by retaliatory tariffs from China and other nations. His top priority now is to get a farm bill passed, if not in the current Congress, then in the next one.

Neal, 69, who represents western and parts of central Massachusetts, is expected to lead the committee that has oversight of tax and trade issues. He is promising hearings on the $1.5 trillion tax cut Republicans pushed through last year and has said he would consider a middle-income tax cut, but only if rates for the top income earners go up to help pay for it. The committee has jurisdiction over trade.

JOHN YARMUTH

BOBBY SCOTT

Yarmuth, 71, is serving his sixth term from Kentucky, where he represents much of the Louisville area. He’ll put together a budget blueprint that includes Democratic lawmakers’ top priorities. He also has said he will hold hearings on a single-payer health plan modeled on the Democratic push to create “Medicare-for-All.”

Scott, 71, is poised to lead the Democratic oversight of changes that Secretary Betsy DeVos has enacted at the Education Department. The Virginia Democrat, who represents parts of the Tidewater area, has told colleagues that he would continue work to free students from the burden of crippling debt, ensure workers have a safe job environment and conduct rigorous oversight to the administration’s “deregulatory agenda.”

ELIOT ENGEL

FRANK PALLONE

Engel, 71, has been a consistent critic of the president’s foreign policy. He has told colleagues that one of his top priorities will be to investigate where the Trump administration’s foreign-policy actions are intertwined with the

Pallone, 67, was a key player when a Democratic-led Congress passed President Barack Obama’s health care law. Pallone said he’ll focus on putting forward legislation to protect that law and on lowering the cost of prescription drugs. Pallone said he also wants to boost

Budget Committee

Foreign Affairs Committee

Education and the Workforce

Energy and Commerce Committee

Committee Chairman Jim McGovern, D-Mass., and backed by Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, was presented Thursday as Democrats met privately to prepare for the new year.

The topics touch on several areas — budgeting, oversight, diversity and the legislative process, among others.

It ensures that the first bill of the new Congress, H.R. 1, will be a sweeping package of good-government reforms, with provisions on voting rights and campaign finance. It is being crafted by Rep. John Sarbanes, D-Md. Many of the rules being proposed sweep away those Republicans had put in place when they took over the majority after the 2010 elections.

For example, Democrats would end the GOP’s practice of using so-called dynamic scoring to count the revenue that would come from expected economic growth to help offset the costs of a bill. Republicans used dynamic scoring last year to help pass tax cuts.

The Democrats would also revert back to the Gephardt Rule, named after former Democratic leader Dick Gephardt, which automatically allows for increases in the nation’s debt limit as part of passing the annual budget. It’s a way to reduce the political

showdowns that have become common over the vote to raise the government’s borrowing authority.

Other proposed rules, in the case of the 72-hour posting, amplify what the GOP majority had set out to do with their own three-day rule, which sometimes resulted in a Republican bill being posted minutes before midnight to allow for a vote as quickly as possible.

The package would stand up Pelosi’s new office of diversity, which is expected to help hire and promote minorities to jobs on Capitol Hill, an effort that Democrats started right before they lost the majority in 2010.

And it would change the name of the Education and Workforce Committee back to Education and Labor, in a nod to unions.

As Congress struggles to update its sexual harassment laws, it would clarify that nondisclosure agreements “cannot prohibit a staffer from speaking” to the compliance or ethics offices.

The package remains a work in progress, aides said. McGovern has been convening lawmakers for weeks to gather input, and the 12-page document is stamped throughout with invitations — “Your Idea Here” — for more input.

administration’s response to Hurricane Maria, which devastated Puerto Rico.

PETER DeFAZIO

RAUL GRIJALVA

DeFazio, 71, has hopes of working with the Trump administration on infrastructure legislation to generate jobs and repair roads, bridges and airports. He said he wants to work fast, before the 2020 presidential election process kicks in and makes it harder for anything substantial to get done. The obvious barrier is finding the money, at a time when the national deficit is already exploding.

Grijalva, 70, will likely lead a committee that has oversight over national parks and other public lands. The Arizona Democrat has pushed back against the Trump administration’s efforts to expand mining and drilling on federal lands. He’ll conduct oversight into the environmental toll of the administration’s actions.

Transportation and Infrastructure

ADAM SMITH

Armed Services Committee

Smith, 53, says his top national security priority for the next Congress is oversight of the president, from “the politicization of the military, to his mismanagement of disaster response, to the lack of a consistent policy concerning civilian casualties, to his policies on Russia, and more.” He said the panel needs to conduct aggressive oversight of the Pentagon’s budget and weapons programs.

BENNIE THOMPSON

Homeland Security Committee

Thompson, 70, of Mississippi, will lead aggressive oversight of actions that the administration has taken on immigration, including its “zero tolerance” policy of prosecuting all adults caught crossing the border illegally and putting their children under the care of the government. The committee will also examine the

Natural Resources Committee

MARK TAKANO

Veterans Affairs

Takano, 57, would have oversight of efforts to expand access to private health care providers. He says he would work to hold for-profit colleges accountable when they mislead student veterans and that he would continue work to advocate for deported veterans to ensure they get their citizenship and can access their benefits.

JIM McGOVERN

Rules Committee

McGovern, 58, will likely lead a panel that determines what bills are debated on the floor and what amendments are allowed to be voted on. McGovern has been critical of Republicans for blocking votes on amendments with broad public support, but it’s unclear how far Democrats will go in reversing those practices.

Visitors to Plimoth Plantation, a living history museum village where visitors can get a glimpse into the world of the 1627 Pilgrim village, walk among buildings in Plymouth, Massachusetts.

In 2020, Pilgrims’ story will highlight natives Planners for 400th anniversary want to tell the whole story

By William J. Kole Associated Press

PLYMOUTH, Mass. — The seaside town where the Pilgrims came ashore in 1620 is gearing up for a 400th birthday bash, and everyone’s invited — especially the native people whose ancestors wound up losing their land and their lives.

Plymouth, Massachusetts, whose European settlers have come to symbolize American liberty and grit, marks its quadricentennial in 2020 with a trans-Atlantic commemoration that will put Native Americans’ unvarnished side of the story on full display.

“It’s history. It happened,” said Michele Pecoraro, executive director of Plymouth 400, Inc., a nonprofit group organizing yearlong events. “We’re not going to solve every problem and make everyone feel better. We just need to move the needle.”

Organizers are understandably cautious this time around. When the 350th anniversary of the Pilgrim landing was observed in 1970, state officials disinvited a leader of the Wampanoag Nation — the Native American tribe that helped the haggard newcomers survive their first bitter winter — after learning his speech would bemoan the disease, racism and oppression that followed the Pilgrims.

That triggered angry demonstrations from tribal members who staged a National Day of Mourning, a somber remembrance that indigenous New Englanders have observed on every Thanksgiving Day since.

This time, there’s pressure to get it right, said Jim Peters, a Wampanoag who directs the Massachusetts Commission on Indian Affairs.

“We’ll be able to tell some stories of what happened to us — to delve back into our history and talk about it,” Peters said. “Hopefully it will give us a chance to re-educate people and have a national discussion about how we should be treating each other.”

The commemoration known as Plymouth 400 will feature events through-

out 2020, including a maritime salute in Plymouth Harbor in June, an embarkation festival in September, and a week of ceremonies around Thanksgiving.

The Mayflower II , a replica of the ship that carried the settlers from Europe to the New World four centuries ago, will sail to Boston in the spring. That autumn, it will head to Provincetown, at the outermost tip of Cape Cod, where the Pilgrims initially landed before continuing on to Plymouth.

Events also are planned in Britain and in the Netherlands, where the Pilgrims spent 11 years in exile before making their perilous sea crossing.

But the emphasis is on highlighting the often-ignored history of the Wampanoag and poking holes in the false narrative that Pilgrims and Indians coexisted in peace and harmony.

An interactive exhibit now making the rounds describes how the Wampanoag were cheated and enslaved, and in August 2020 tribal members will guide visitors on a walk through Plymouth to point out and consecrate spots where their ancestors once trod.

There are also plans to invite relatives of the late Wampanoag elder Wamsutta “Frank” James to publicly read that speech he wasn’t allowed to deliver in 1970 — an address that includes this passage: “We, the Wampanoag, welcomed you, the white man, with open arms, little knowing that it was the beginning of the end.”

“The Pilgrims had hardly explored the shores of Cape Cod for four days before they had robbed the graves of my ancestors and stolen their corn and beans,” the speech reads.

Dusty Rhodes, who chairs a separate state commission working to ensure the commemoration has a global profile, said she hopes it all helps make amends for centuries of “mishandled and misrepresented” history.

“The Pilgrims were the first immigrants,” said Plymouth 400’s Pecoraro.

“We’re in a place in this country where we need solidarity. We need to come together. We need to be talking about immigration and indigenous people.”

Plymouth, nicknamed “America’s Hometown,” is sure to draw a crush of

2020 presidential candidates who will use its monuments as campaign backdrops. With President Donald Trump, Queen Elizabeth II and other heads of

state on the invitation list, state and federal authorities already are busy mapping out security plans.

Wampanoag tribal leader and activist Linda

Coombs, who’s helped plan the commemoration, is skeptical that anything meaningful will change for her people.

“It’s a world stage, so

we’ll have more visibility than we’ve had in the past,” she said. “We’ll see if it’s enough. It’ll be a measuring stick for all that has to come afterward.”

t’s hard not to wince when you watch Rabu Leyva walk across a basketball floor.

His left knee seems to buckle every time he puts weight on it and he lurches forward and down until the joint locks into place and pushes him back into an upright position.

Leyva hobbles along in this exaggerated way because of an old basketball injury.

As an Oral Roberts University student in 1997, Leyva went up for a fast-break layup in an intramural game and landed wrong on his left foot. REALLY wrong.

Impact on the knee caused the joint to twist 90 degrees out of phase, tearing Leyva’s anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments and damaging his posterior cruciate ligament.

“It was grotesque,” he remembers. “The thigh and the shin were running straight but the knee pointed out to the side. My best friend couldn’t look at it. He had to look away.”

Leyva’s doctors said they couldn’t imagine a person hurting himself worse in a basketball game. It seemed more like what happens when a football defender’s helmet smashes into a running back’s knee from the side.

Leyva wondered when he might return to playing basketball. He was told he’d be lucky if he didn’t spend the rest of his life walking with a cane.

Had a critical artery been

damaged, he might have lost the lower leg.

The doctors were able to relocate the knee, and surgeries repaired the damaged ligaments. After rehabilitation, Leyva was indeed able

to play basketball again with his friends.

But the knee was never really right again. The muscles had atrophied too greatly. As Leyva got older and heavier, walking became more difficult.

A lesser man might curse his fate.

But Leyva isn’t anything like that. He’s almost always smiling when he isn’t bellowing with laughter. “God is great!” are likely the first three words you’ll hear him say. Buoyed by his Christian faith, Leyva might be the most thankful person in Tulsa County.

He’s thankful for his wife, Kyna, and their lovely and athletic daughters: Alexis, 11; Paisley, 9; Sadie, 8. And he’s thankful to be head coach of one of the state’s strongest high school girls basketball programs.

Leyva is starting his second season at the Booker T. Washington helm. Last winter, the Hornets rallied in all three games at the state tournament to win the Class 5A state title.

Others were ecstatic.

Leyva was grateful.

“People who had a hand in hiring me came by afterward and thanked me for making them look good. I was just glad they had been willing to give me a chance. I’m blessed to be where I am,” he said.

A former Texan who attended Booker T. Washington High School in Houston, Leyva taught and coached 10 years at Thoreau Demonstration Academy and seven more at Memorial before getting his break.

choice to replace Annette Kennedy when the Hornets’ veteran former mentor stepped down following the 2016-17 season. She had nearly 400 wins and three state titles over 19 seasons.

But acting B.T. Washington Principal Tom Paladino, a former Thoreau administrator, had watched Leyva’s diligent work there as an algebra teacher and middle school girls basketball coach. And he knew Leyva was ready.

Does Leyva see the work of Providence in that scenario?

“Any time a doorway opens for me, I definitely believe God is working on my behalf,” he said. “I believe he blesses our diligence.”

He could ascribe similar factors in his hiring as Memorial girls coach seven years earlier. Until then, he had never received an interview for a varsity job.

“The question always was, ‘How come you’ve never

coached higher than the middle school level?’” he said.

But then-Memorial Principal Liz Martin was a former Thoreau counselor, also familiar with Leyva’s work. She and former Chargers Athletic Director Robert Sprague saw Leyva’s potential.

Memorial went to the state tournament in two of his first three seasons. With Leyva’s guidance, undersized forward Faith Ihim totaled more career points and more career rebounds than any Chargers girls player before or since.

Ihim completed a successful ORU basketball career last winter, averaging 14.5 points and 8.1 rebounds in her senior season.

Leyva’s coaching philosophy is lots of hard work, mixed with liberal portions of love and caring.

Hornets senior standout Rhys Anderson saw the caring side when Leyva helped see her through two knee injuries.

“He was with me during my surgeries and he was very close

to me,” she said. “He came in and checked on me and showed a lot of love. I’m thankful he was there during two of the toughest moments of my basketball career.”

Leyva makes practice fun, says Reginald Terry, a wellknown fixture in the B.T. Washington community and longtime volunteer coach for the Hornets’ football and girls basketball programs.

“He’s infectious with his enthusiasm and sometimes he gets criticized by some of our

fans because he’s so energetic,” Terry said. “But it works, and the kids seem to play harder up and down the board, even the ones who aren’t starters or in the top eight or 10.”

Leyva loves his family, Terry says, “and it just transfers into these kids. When a man loves his family, it’s the surest sign he’s going to love others.”

Kyna Leyva said her husband is the same person at home as he is in the community.

“He is an amazing father and husband. He brings joy and

stability to our home,” she said.

“He is such a hard-working coach and teacher. I have often found myself just bragging about him because I am so proud of who he is, day in and day out.”

Leyva has good days and bad days with his knee. He has considered a knee replacement, but doctors have cautioned him to wait as long as possible because such replacements don’t last forever and may require more attention later.

On the bad days, he knows where to turn.

“You learn to be thankful for what you have and what God has done for you,” he said.

“When this started, I just said if he could make it where I could play with my kids, I’d be good with everything else.

That’s what I remind myself when I’m feeling down.”

By Schuyler Dixon The Associated Press

FRISCO, Texas — Zack Martin can’t pinpoint why the Dallas offensive line was better in consecutive road wins after a mostly rugged first half of the season.

The Cowboys right guard has a few options: time to adjust to the seasonlong absence of fellow Pro Bowler Travis Frederick, a steady showing from Xavier Su’a-Filo at left guard for injured rookie Connor Williams or the position coaching change to former Dallas lineman Marc Colombo.

Dak Prescott would suggest picking any of them.

The quarterback doesn’t really care.

“I don’t know what we needed or whatever it was,” Prescott said Tuesday. “The mindset and the way that they’re playing right now, the confidence they have.

The way that they’re communicating is just something we’re trying to build on.”

The Cowboys (5-5) can pull even with Washington (6-4) atop the NFC East by beating their division rival on Thanksgiving. The surge into contention came from the pair of road wins against the past two NFC participants in the Super Bowl: Philadelphia and Atlanta.

Those victories followed a 0-4 start on the road, with communication along the front among the primary problems without Frederick, the center and traffic cop who is out and increasingly unlikely to play this year because of a nerve disorder.

Dallas has praised backup center Joe Looney, while Martin has played through a left knee injury sustained in a preseason game and aggravated early in the win over the Eagles. Who knows whether the 2014 All-Pro would be doing that if Frederick were still alongside him.

“Anytime you lose an AllPro player at a position, you can’t replace a guy like that,” Martin said. “But I think guys, through the season, we’re getting used to playing next to each other. We’re extremely lucky to

Cowboys guard Zack Martin drops back into pass protection against a rush by the Chargers’ Corey Liuget as quarterback Dak Prescott surveys the field last season in Arlington, Texas. “We’re getting better every week,” Martin said about Dallas’ reconstituted line.

have a guy like Looney here to be able to step in and play the way he’s played.”

Sacks of Prescott that were an issue in the four straight road losses haven’t disappeared. He has been dropped 34 times this season, already a career high, with multiple sacks in eight straight games.

But Prescott wasn’t sacked in the fourth quarter of the wins over the Eagles and Falcons, when the Cowboys matched tying scores with winning drives that featured a solid mix of star running back Ezekiel Elliott and clutch plays in the passing game. Time to throw for Prescott was crucial in several plays.

“There are still some things we need to clean up in protection, but we’re getting better every week and I think guys have bought

A mismatch? Saints offense vs Falcons defense ATLANTA (AP) — Talk about a mismatch. The New Orleans Saints have been unstoppable.

The Atlanta Falcons have struggled to stop anyone. It all adds up to a Thanksgiving night game that could get out of hand quickly.

“Where do you start?” moaned Marquand Manuel, the Falcons’ defensive coordinator.

The Saints (9-1) are leading the NFL in scoring and really piled it on the past two weeks, dropping 51 points on Cincinnati and 48 on defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia in a pair of blowout wins.

in,” Martin said. “It’s been trending in the right direction.”

And now, Elliott is coming off consecutive 100yard games and needs 91 yards to overtake MVP contender Todd Gurley of the Los Angeles Rams for the NFL rushing lead. Gurley is off this week.

Most amazingly, New Orleans has scored on 24 of its past 29 possessions, not counting kneel-downs at the end of the game. Eighteen of those possessions have resulted in touchdowns.

Next up is Atlanta (4-6), a team that has lost two straight and ranks near the bottom of the league in every major defensive category.

“The mindset of the way they’re going to block, that’s credit to Colombo, as much as it is getting back to the stuff we’ve done in the past that was more Cowboys football instead of trickems or whatever it was,” Prescott said. “The offensive line is doing a great job moving guys.”

Can our rivalries please be nasty?

T

his is the Thanksgiving version of The Picker. We’re here to help, really, by offering some basic truths.

Defenses will get better when it becomes a priority and not one second sooner.

When the PatriThe ots see a Picker game like the one OutPick ThePicker played last .com Monday night, they might feel like Tiger Woods when kids started booming drives 40 yards past his tee shots.

The most headacheinducing thing in the universe is a political groupie who says the fact-checkers are biased. Meanwhile, over here in reality, the truth is undefeated.

The least valuable “player” on the Thanksgiving dinner table is cranberry sauce. The most underrated player: Hot roll.

The Picks Friday

OU (-1½) at West Virginia: Boo to the Big 12, which publicly reprimanded Texas football player/hippie Breckyn Hager for saying “mean” things about OU after the Sooners gave up one zillion yards to Kansas last week. He said OU has no defense and, pointing to a clock, said, “Wait, wait — it’s 11:12 and what? OU still sucks.” You don’t have to like what he said, but all good rivalries should be just this side of nasty. It’s football, not hug-ball. For this reason, the Picker wants the stars to align in such a manner that Hager will get to play against the Sooners in the Big 12 championship game. OU by 5.

a power five conference squad wouldn’t want to face in a bowl game. Aggies have won 10 in a row since losing on a late TD at Michigan State to start the season. Who wants a piece of them on a neutral field? Utah State by 1.

The Pros Thursday

Redskins at Cowboys (-7½): NFL does Dallas a colossal favor by granting an annual Thanksgiving home game (opposing team must travel on a short week of preparation), so don’t go complaining about the Zeke suspension last year. The best teams in this division are getting worse and the worst teams in this division are getting better. What does that mean?

The survivor of a wide-open race loses a first-round playoff game, at best. Skins by 4.

Sunday

Kansas City’s Kareem Hunt (left) scores a touchdown in front of the Los Angeles Rams’ Lamarcus Joyner during Monday night’s high-scoring affair won by the Rams 54-51. Marcio Jose Sanchez/AP Arkansas at Missouri (-22½): Did you hear this for-real news?

Arkansas suspended two players for fraternizing with members of the “enemy” spirit squad before a game against Mississippi State last weekend.

Are you kidding? A big reason jocks play sports is so they can fraternize with cheerleaders.

In a perfect world, you hang out with enemy cheerleaders and try to extract secret intel from them. It’s like modern-day coaches have never seen an episode of “The Brady Bunch.”

Mizzou by 14.

Washington at Washington State (-2½): Apple Cup is the name of the rivalry. Compared to Red River War and Iron Bowl, it’s a namby pamby nickname for a blood feud. Maybe Apple Cup participants can share a blanket afterward, loser buys caramel latte for the win-

ner? Root for Wash State just because a possible Mike Leach vs. Nick Saban playoff matchup would be weird science. State by 3.

Saturday

OSU (-4½) at TCU: O-State has played up or down to level of competition for much of season, which should put them in the vicinity of average this week. Frogs have incentive on their side since they must win in order to be eligible for a bad bowl. Or is that an incentive? Maybe kids these days just want time off to play on their phones.

Cowboys by 8.

SMU (-2½) at TU: Bring a still-in-package toy. Toss it in a box. Get free admission to the game. The only way this could possibly be a better deal is if you got to donate the mobile phones of people who believe,

and share, anything on social media. They need a hobby, except they already have one.

It feels like Tulsa is due for one of those games where every bounce is found money. Hurricane by 2.

Michigan (-4) at Ohio State: The Ohio State coach, winner of many close calls, has nine lives and that’s still a true statement if you eliminate the “v.” Wolverines by 6.

Auburn at Alabama (-24½): Who would have thought excellence could be so boring?

Watching Bama games is as much fun as wearing socks and stepping into a puddle of water outside the shower. Anything can happen in a rivalry, but it surely won’t. Tide by 22.

Utah State at Boise State (-3): Coached by a Sallisaw Black Diamond, Utah State appears to be one of those teams that

Browns at Bengals (-3): Recently hired Bengals assistant Hue Jackson may know a thing or two about the Browns and their personnel since he was coaching them last month. Only coach-speak would dispute that being an advantage. Bengals by 9.

Packers at Vikings (-3½): Aaron Rodgers is LeBron James — or Eddie Murphy during a past incarnation of SNL. You watch because they may do something brilliant, but their squads are so-so. Vikings by 1.

Monday

Titans at Texans: The artists formerly known as the Houston Oilers are playing in Houston.

The Picker’s four favorite Oilers: 1. Earl Campbell (beast mode before it was a thing). 2. Bum Phillips (what would he think about bro country?). 3. Mike Renfro (yes, it was a bobble). 4.

Curley Culp (NCAA wrestling champ and Pro Football Hall of Famer). For nostalgia’s sake, there should be a “Luv Ya Blue” sign in the crowd, but an uninformed political kook might view it as support for Beto. Texans, unbeaten since 0-3 start, by 8.

Brooks’ best-ever Thanksgiving

Are we headed to a shootout like 2012 in Morgantown?

Should Oklahoma fans brace for another 2012-type shootout in Morgantown?

All indications are yes after watching Oklahoma and West Virginia display dynamic offenses and struggling defenses during much of November.

Landry Jones hit Kenny Stills with a 5-yard touchdown pass with 24 seconds remaining to power the Sooners to a 50-49 road victory in 2012.

The Mountaineers are the only Big 12 team not to beat Oklahoma since the conference locked into its current format in 2012.

Oklahoma has allowed 40-plus points in three games this month, while West Virginia opponents have hit that mark in two of the past three games.

The ingredients for plenty of points are there.

An Oklahoma and Texas rematch would be set up if both schools win this week.

Even with speed bumps ahead of both — OU has to beat West Virginia and Texas must win at Kansas — they obviously have each other on their minds.

An interview exchange with OU quarterback Kyler Murray: Q: If you win this week at Morgantown, you probably get Texas in the championship game. Is that what you’ve been wanting since October?

KM: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Q: Another shot at those guys?

KM: Yeah. Yeah.

And then there’s this.

Texas defensive end Breckyn Hager, after the Longhorns’ 24-10 win over Iowa State, was told OU allowed 40 points to Kansas.

“Hey, OU has no defense,” Hager said.

He then pointed to a nearby clock and said: “And what time is it? It’s 11:12 … and OU still sucks.”

NORMAN — A reporter asked Curtis Bolton about the “rivalry” between Oklahoma and West Virginia.

“You say us and West Virginia are a rivalry,” Bolton said with a shake of his head. “I wouldn’t call it a rivalry.

“I just know the last time I was there, their fans probably talked mess more than anybody else.

Their players are rowdy.

It’s a smash-mouth football game. I like those. I like when teams come out rough … I’m excited for this game. They talk a lot.

They’ve got a good squad on their side.”

The Sooners will play at West Virginia on Friday night in a high-stakes showdown. For both, a win comes with a trip to the Big 12 championship game.

OU will make its fourth trip to Morgantown since West Virginia joined the Big 12 in 2012. Each of those games — all with evening kickoffs — had intriguing storylines and finished with OU victories.

2012 OU 50, WVU 49 Tavon Austin won the battle, but the Sooners won the war.

The West Virginia wide receiver finished with a school-record 344 rushing yards and 572 all-purpose yards in the highscoring affair.

OU’s Landry Jones passed for 554 yards and six touchdown passes. His last throw — a 5-yard TD pass to Kenny Stills with

24 seconds left — sealed the Sooners’ victory.

West Virginia finished with 778 yards of total offense as OU couldn’t find the right combination on defense. At some points, OU played without a true linebacker on the field.

Perhaps the most frightening part of the game for OU fans? When coach Bob Stoops declined to squib-kick after the goahead TD and the ball was in Austin’s hands. He was stopped at the Mountaineers 23-yard line and OU was able to off the upset-minded hosts.

OU won the Big 12 and was defeated by Texas A&M in the Cotton Bowl.

2014 OU 45, WVU 33 Samaje Perine, in only his fourth game in an OU uniform, did something that no one since Adrian Peterson had accomplished — rush for 200plus yards as a freshman.

Perine was a beast in crunch time and ended with 242 yards and four TDs. The physical runner simply wore down the Mountaineers defense in his coming-out party. In three previous games that season, he had rushed for a total of 177 yards.

Perine also had 34 carries in this game. It would be the third-most of his three-year OU career.

The win also was significant for Stoops: his 100th league victory.

The game would be the high-water mark for OU, which was ranked No. 4 at the time. OU lost at TCU in its next game

(which was the last true road loss for the Sooners) and finished 8-5.

2016 OU 56, WVU 28 The expected showdown turned out to be a runaway as the Sooners routed the Mountaineers.

Snow welcomed the teams to the field, where both squads got testy with each other during pregame activities.

Then the game started.

Oklahoma raced to a 28-0 lead midway through the second quarter and led 34-7 at halftime on the brisk evening.

From that point, fans began racing to the exits.

Baker Mayfield threw two touchdown passes and added one on the ground for OU. Perine raced for 160 yards and two TDs. Joe Mixon had 147 yards and a TD, and Dede Westbrook had 100 yards receiving, including a 75-yard TD reception on which he shucked off a would-be tackler on a quick pass.

OU defeated Oklahoma State two weeks later to capture the Big 12 championship. It defeated Auburn 35-19 in the Sugar Bowl.

f John Brooks were to combine everything that was good and meaningful about his 79 previous Thanksgiving days, it wouldn’t equal his Thanksgiving 2018.

He’s extremely fortunate to have a Thanksgiving 2018.

Only a few days removed from a surgery that Bill resulted Haisten from a terrible Sports auto accolumnist cident on bill.haisten @tulsaworld.com Interstate 40 near Clinton, the former University of Oklahoma football and basketball radio voice is chewed up and sore.

On Monday, amazingly, he boarded a plane bound for Baltimore where he stunned his son — recent University of Tulsa graduate Remington Brooks — with a surprise holiday visit. Brooks and Remington’s girlfriend conspired to keep it a secret from Remington.

“My son had absolutely no idea,” Brooks said.

“The look on his face — priceless.”

How many 80-yearolds would even consider significant travel while recovering from surgery?

Then again, how many 80-year-olds play racquetball five days a week?

In part because he has remained physically fit, Brooks was able to extract himself from a mangled, rented Dodge Caravan that during a lane change collided with a recreational vehicle.

The other driver was not injured.

“I think there are a lot of people my age who would have died a week ago,” Brooks said by telephone. “Maybe their body couldn’t have handled the force of the crash. My body is getting a pretty good test right now, but the truth is, I’m handling it. I’m handling it with pain, but I’m handling it.

“No question. I’m an incredibly lucky guy.

Doctors and nurses have (marveled) at my age.

They’ll see that my birth year is 1938, and they double-check to make sure it’s correct. I say, ‘Yes, it’s 1938. Not 1838.’ I tell them that I’m 80 going on 60.”

Years ago, Brooks wrote a series of “Bobby Bright” Christmas books for children. The accident occurred around noon on Nov. 13, after he had been in Mangum for a reading at an elementary school.

After snacking on a Subway sandwich at a Love’s Travel Stop on I-40, he headed east for his Oklahoma City home.

He remembers in perfect detail most aspects of the accident, including the “deafening sound” of the air-bags deployment.

The crash was so violent a key from his personal key ring was jarred loose and became embedded in the fabric of the Caravan’s headliner.

As Brooks sustained a variety of internal injuries, he first was examined

at a Clinton medical facility and then transported to OU Medical Center in Oklahoma City.

Bad news travels fast, so his media-member friends both in OKC and Tulsa networked that day about Brooks’ situation and condition.

Initial reports were not positive. Within 24 hours, they weren’t just positive.

They were remarkably positive.

Surgery was necessary, but Brooks would survive and a complete recovery was expected. Brooks’ wife Lisa is younger by 23 years and also is a TU graduate.

“It’s been absolutely staggering,” Brooks said of the correspondence from people representing every chapter of his life.

Through calls and text messages, he was contacted by friends and associates from his OU years, from his time at the University of Tulsa (he did the radio calls of the Golden Hurricane’s great 1991 football season), from his work in hockey and horse racing, and from his relationships with various high schools throughout the state.

In 2009-12, Brooks was the radio voice of the Union Redskin football teams.

While in the intensivecare unit, Brooks was astounded by the activity on his phone.

“I had gotten through messages from about 150 people,” he reported, “and then the nurses came back and I had to quit.

On social media, there were messages from 700 people. It’s been amazing.”

For OU fans in their 50s or older, Brooks’ voice and signature big-play call of “Jiiiiiminy Christmas!!!!!” remain synonymous with Sooner football. In 197890, he and Mike Treps were partners on the OU radio network.

Brooks says his bigpicture plan is to live 40 more years. In the meantime, he’ll continue to heal from his great escape on I-40 and savor the best Thanksgiving ever with his son.

During his conversation with the Tulsa World, Brooks became emotional several times.

“If you took this script to Hollywood, no one would buy it,” he said.

“They would say, ‘This could never happen.

Thank you for coming by.’

And yet it did happen. I’m still here.”

Rejoice, Beggs in state title hunt

R

where you expect to play good people,” Beggs coach David Tenison said. “We will just have to take what the defense gives us.”

Last week, Beggs defeated Oklahoma Christian School 49-22.

“We had hoped that we could take control with our offensive and defensive lines,” Tenison said.

“Our kids went out and played well.”

Beggs (11-1), which reached the 3A final last year, scored the first 42 points of the game. Dalton Spring completed 9-of-11 passes for 168 yards. TJ Austin had seven rushes for 113 yards and two touchdowns.

“We were really resilient,” Tenison said.

ejoice Christian and Beggs entered the playoffs ranked second in their respective classes, but have become the front-runners to win state football titles.

Rejoice is the only undefeated team in the Class A quarterfinals Barry after No. 1 Lewis Hooker fell 28-0 last High school week to barry.lewis @tulsaworld.com Crossings Christian in the second round. Beggs and the rest of 2A had an even bigger obstacle removed last week when No. 9 Vian stunned top-ranked Oklahoma City Millwood 27-26, ending the Falcons’ 39-game winning streak.

Coach Brent Marley has stressed all season to his Rejoice team not to look too far ahead.

“Our theme all year has been ‘1-0’ — we have that painted on our door in the locker room,” Marley said.

“It’s about winning this game or winning the play right now. Stay so focused on doing your job.”

Marley shouldn’t have a hard time keeping the Eagles focused on their quarterfinal opponent, Crossings Christian.

Rejoice narrowly escaped from their previous trip there with a 21-20 win in Week 1.

“Both teams have im-

proved since that game,” Marley said. “They are the best team we’ve played all year. A key for us is, don’t give up the big play. In the first game, we missed a tackle on a 5-yard hitch and it turned into a 75yard touchdown. We gave up another touchdown on a busted coverage. And we can’t have turnovers on offense.”

Rejoice played that game without Andrew Crow, who has rushed for 2,307 yards and a stateleading 40 touchdowns.

Dillon Hair filled in with 163 rushing yards and two TDs. “I’ve coached a lot of great backs, but I’ve never had any of them have a season like Andrew’s,” Marley said.

Marley is hoping for a quicker start than it had last Friday when it trailed 8-7 at halftime before rolling to a 40-14 win over Gore.

“Our headsets weren’t working, we couldn’t communicate, we had a terrible first half, but we bounced back in the second half,” Marley said.

Marley’s plans for the week included taking the team to the new movie, “Creed II.” “I don’t want this week to be all football,” Marley said, and then added his message to the team for Friday’s game will be, “Stay focused, don’t try to do anything too special, relax and have fun.”

In 2A, Beggs will host No. 5 Kingston.

“It’s that time of year

school basketball coach (1,333) and five Texas state titles. Hughes was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame last year.

“It’s a great opportunity for us,” Memorial coach Bobby Allison said. “They wanted some Oklahoma teams to represent Robert Hughes because of his Oklahoma connections.

We want to push ourselves. The teams we play there are going to be as tall as us. You no longer have a height advantage; you have to be better at all things basketball-wise. ” Washington, back in 6A after being a state runnerup in 6A in 2017 and 5A in ’18, will participate in the 10th annual Thanksgiving Hoopfest at Duncanville’s Sandra Meadows Arena.

Barbara Smith kisses her husband, Willie, after returning an NSU national championship ring to him. The ring was stolen from their home, but it was recently returned.

IAN MAULE/Tulsa World

Meaningful ring, lost and then found, returned to thankful couple

C

Willie Smith and his teammates were awarded national championship rings after an 11-0 football season at Northeastern State University in 1958. Held

by Smith’s wife, Barbara, the ring represents more than just football.

By Jimmie Tramel • Tulsa World

OMMERCE — On this Thanksgiving, Barbara Smith is thankful a stolen ring was returned to her. A ring is just a material object, of course. It’s not as important as family and loved ones. But you have to understand Smith didn’t “just” get a ring back. She got back everything the ring represents. “It’s a symbol,” she said. “You can hold it in your hand, and it brings back so many memories.” In that respect, she got her life back. More accurate: They got their life back.

Barbara’s husband, Willie Smith, is a resident at Eastwood Manor, an assisted living center for seniors. Eastwood Manor is in Commerce, a short drive from Barbara’s home in Miami, Oklahoma.

She commutes seven days a week to spend time with her husband of 61 years.

Barbara said her husband has dementia related to chronic traumatic encephalopathy. CTE is a degenerative brain disease found in people who sustained repetitive brain trauma. Willie was a college football player in the 1950s.

The effects of CTE began to surface when Willie was in his 70s. He has pretty much lost the ability to speak, according to his wife, but he occasionally surprises

her with a word or two and sometimes even a sentence.

She has learned to “read” his expressions.

“I miss him as he used to be,” she said. “But he is still in there.”

Occasionally, something triggers Willie and he’s “back.” Maybe a ring can do that?

Dancing by the river The ring is Willie’s.

It’s a national championship ring earned by Northeastern State University football players in 1958.

Willie and his NSU teammates went 11-0 and beat Arizona State-Flagstaff (now Northern Arizona) 19-13 in the Holiday Bowl to secure a small-college (NAIA) na-

tional title.

A natural athlete from Fort Worth, Texas, Willie excelled in many sports and was a football champion at two colleges. Before being recruited to NSU, he was a Junior Rose Bowl champ while playing for Arlington State Junior College in Texas.

While in Tahlequah, he was set up on a blind date with Barbara. The blind date was arranged by football teammate Dan Smith and Brenda Thompson, a football queen who would later marry actor Chad Everett and become an actress (stage name: Shelby Grant). Among her movies: “Fantastic Voyage.”

Willie’s and Barbara’s first date launched a different kind of fantastic voyage, and

it sometimes involved foot traffic.

Barbara said Willie was such a sweetheart in college that he loaned his car to friends, so their early dates were walks to a restaurant or movie theater.

Weekends were spent with other students (Barbara said it seemed like everybody knew everybody) at the nearby Illinois River.

“We turned up our radios and danced out on the river banks,” she said. “The cafeteria wasn’t open Sunday night, so we all brought food. If we had been home — whoever had been home — brought food, so we had a big picnic and a dance on the river bank.” »» See Ring, page D5

It’s a symbol.

You can hold it in your hand, and it brings back so many memories.”

A plumped-up Mortensen plays a shorttempered slob with a big personality who can eat 26 hot dogs on a bet and play dice games with rent money, while Ali’s cultured pianist is impeccably dressed, uptight emotionally and educated vs. Tony’s street smarts.

They are great together, and Ali on the piano is a virtuoso of talent, and sometimes their comedy will make you smile in that predictable way.

“Come on, your people love fried chicken,” Tony yells to Don in the back seat. “You have a very narrow assessment of me,” Don responds. “Yeah, I’m good,” Tony replies, moronically.

Do you think these two will find common ground?

Will Tony be the opposite of a racist by the end of the trip? Will he punch someone he shouldn’t?

Will they make it back to New York by Christmas?

Answering these questions is more important to the filmmaker than better detailing the “Green Book” of the title, known as a “Negro Motorist’s Guide” to where blacks could safely eat and stay overnight if traveling across the country.

That is a fascinating story barely touched upon because “Green Book” is more focused on making a feel-good road-trip movie about America’s racial divide, both in 1962 and 2018.

Playing cello in NYC subway leads to career Tulsa native Gabriel Royal will return to perform at Duet Jazz this weekend

CONCERT Gabriel Royal 8 p.m. Friday-Saturday, Nov. 23-24, at Duet Jazz, 108 N. Detroit Ave. Tickets: $15. duetjazz.com NOTE: This is a 21-and-older show.

By James D. Watts Jr. Tulsa World

Tulsa native Gabriel Royal was in a New York City subway trying to figure out how best to spend the single dollar bill he possessed to survive another day.

“I was thinking I could buy a package of ramen noodles and a fruit punch,” Royal recalled.

“I figured the salt in the ramen and the sugar in the punch would be enough to keep me going.”

That’s when he came across a busker — one of the hundreds of musicians hoping to attract an audience and tips for their impromptu performances — screaming out songs and bashing at the guitar he held.

“I watched him for a moment and thought, ‘Hey, I’m a better musician than he is,’ ” Royal said. “Then I glanced down into his guitar case and saw that he had about $20.”

That was enough to make Royal hurry home to fetch his instrument of choice — the cello — and find an open spot in the subway to perform some of the original songs he had been writing.

“That first day, I made $30,” Royal said, laughing. “That might not sound like a lot but to someone who was dead broke as I was, it was enough to make me think, ‘Dude! I’m in the money!’ I went out the next day and made $50.”

Royal would spend the better part of a decade earning his living day-by-day in the New York underground, until his unique blend of soulful singing, melodies that blend pop, jazz and soul and the voice-like timbre of the cello caught the ears of people in the music and film industries.

“Every so often on the subway you’d have what I call these ‘holy moments,’ right after the

were Diane Bucchianeri, who taught him at Nimitz and later at the University of Tulsa, and Lou Lynch, owner of the Tulsa Violin Shop.

While Royal studied classical music, his personal musical tastes ranged widely.

“I loved all forms of music,” he said. “I’d get together with friends — one was in the jazz program, one was a violinist in the orchestra program with me, another was a rapper — and we’d just jam. While I love classical music, I never had any plans to play in an orchestra.

The goal was always to write and perform my own music.”

Royal majored in visual arts, as well as music during his time at the University of Tulsa, and after graduation got a job as a visual arts teacher in Oklahoma City. Three years later, he decided to make the move to New York City to work as an art teacher while pursuing his music. Unfortunately, he arrived right as the city’s public school system implemented a hiring freeze.

“Busking was an absolute necessity,” Royal said. “I mean, I wasn’t going out there to just spread love and joy. I was trying to survive. But it was also a great training ground as a performer.

Photos from Willie Smith’s football career are part of the decor in his room at Eastwood Manor in Commerce. IAN MAULE/Tulsa World

Ring: It sat on NSU athletic director’s desk for at least four years »» From page D1

The football player from Texas and the girl from Sand Springs hit it off so well that they got married while in college. They were wed just before the start of final exams and returned to their respective dormitories after spending a honeymoon weekend in Tulsa.

Barbara and Willie became parents when the first of three sons was born in September of the national championship season. Willie wanted her to go to St. Petersburg, Florida, for the championship bowl game, but she stayed in Oklahoma because they were cashstrapped and because she needed to take care of the baby.

Barbara said it was exciting when the team returned with the trophy — and other items.

“Several of the players came home with gifts for their spouses or girlfriends — alligator shoes and purses, mostly,” she said. “That was expensive for us, so Willie brought me a live baby alligator. It lived in our bathtub and had to be moved to the sink for our baths until it succumbed a few months later.”

They had a championship to remind them of wonderful college memories — at least until they didn’t.

given the ring by Duckworth. She called it “totally a miracle” and one of those “God intervention things.” And she got emotional.

“It really just warms my soul to know that it’s getting back to the rightful owner and how important it is,” Duckworth said. “It’s going to be an heirloom for generations to come. That’s what is so great about it.”

Barbara didn’t immediately drive back and show the ring to Willie. She wanted to wait for exactly the right moment.

Moments of return

Northeastern State University Athletic Director Tony Duckworth returned a 1958 national championship ring to Barbara Smith, wife of former NSU football player Willie Smith. The ring had been missing for more than five years. Jimmie Tramel/Tulsa World

Ring stolen during burglary Willie carved out a career in coaching after college. There were many stops, but the Smiths decided to settle in Ottawa County, where they have lived for 50 years. Living in Miami allowed Willie to make short commutes to Joplin, Missouri, where he was an assistant coach on state championship teams.

The Smiths’ Miami home was burglarized about five years ago. Barbara said thousands of dollars worth of jewelry was stolen. Among items that were taken: the only things that truly mattered to Barbara were her mother’s wedding rings and Willie’s national championship ring.

“Why would they take that?” she said when talking about the championship ring. “It’s not going to bring them a lot of money. It means everything to us, but what is it going to mean to some stranger? It was so frustrating.”

Barbara and one of her sons scoured Miami-area pawn shops in search of the championship ring. She said she gave police a list of things that were taken and provided photographs of some of the stolen items. Years passed. Maybe that ring is gone forever?

“I didn’t think we had a prayer of ever seeing it again,” she said. “It was just a loss that, every time I thought about it, it stabbed my heart.”

A commemorative football from NSU’s 1958 national championship season was placed in Willie Smith’s hands by his wife, Barbara, during his most recent birthday.

Willie was a player on the 11-0 team. IAN MAULE/Tulsa World

An ice cream man played a role in warming her heart.

Ice cream man delivers Tony Duckworth didn’t know the lay of the land when he became NSU’s athletic director in 2011. He thought it would be best to rent until he became better acquainted with Tahlequah.

An ice cream man made the rounds through Duckworth’s rental neighborhood. Duckworth got an idea. He asked the ice cream man to consider adding an NSU football game to the list of future stops. The ice cream man agreed.

One day, the ice cream man visited Duckworth and said, “I have something for you.”

The “something” was a 1958 NSU national championship ring. The ice cream man said it was given to him by

the owner of the company to relay to Duckworth. Duckworth can’t remember specifics of how the owner acquired the ring. Pawn shop? Yard sale? Regardless, Duckworth was glad to receive the ring, and he was determined to find the person who used to wear it.

The ring sat on Duckworth’s desk for at least four years because he couldn’t match ring with owner. But the 60th anniversary celebration for the 1958 national champions was scheduled earlier this year and Duckworth figured somebody from that squad would surely know whose ring it is. He was right.

Pat O’Reilly, one of Willie’s teammates, contacted Barbara on behalf of Duckworth and told her the ring had been located.

“I just almost screamed,” she said. “I didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.”

Barbara drove to Tahlequah and was

Willie celebrated his 83rd birthday Oct. 25 at Eastwood Manor, where he has spent the past six and a half years.

A birthday cake was ready to be shared with family members who gathered for the occasion.

Drowsy, Willie was on the verge of falling asleep, but Barbara wanted him to be awake for a big surprise. She handed him a football. Eyes shut, the shape felt familiar. He gripped the football and cracked a slight smile.

A few minutes later, Barbara delivered the surprise. She slipped the ring — the ring that symbolizes the sum of their life experiences — on Willie’s finger and kissed him on his forehead.

There wasn’t much of a reaction.

Later, during a more private moment, Willie was wide awake for a second reveal. Barbara showed him the ring again. This time, tears ran down his cheeks. Barbara hugged her husband, offered a few words and put the ring away. She said he seemed pleased.

“It is difficult to see my big, strong hero so disabled,” Barbara said in a subsequent email to the Tulsa World.

“He looks as if he could just get up and come home with me and travel to all the places we planned to go in retirement, but, little by little, his brain injuries have taken their toll on his ability to function.

“I miss him terribly, but I know that he is still in there and sometimes he shows moments of pure reality. The best times are when he really looks at me and reaches to feel my hair or touch my check or take my hand and pull me close.”

Barbara said there are other moments, and maybe it’s better to leave them private, that are heartbreaking.

When giving the rediscovered ring back to her husband, Barbara said something she thought Willie deserved to hear: “You’re a champion.”

and ran off. It was early winter, and he was too scared to come back indoors. It took several days and long nights to encourage him to come back inside.

I advise getting a soft, full-body wrap-type harness and also a collar, so he’ll have two leashes. Cats can wriggle out of almost anything when they have a mind to it.

Put everything on the cat indoors to start out right, and get the cat used to the pull of the leashes and feel of the harness. Avoid trying to lead the cat; cats prefer to lead and take their time slowly exploring when outside, even rolling in grass or dust, rubbing their lips, chins, temples and tails to mark various fixed objects and nibbling various plants.

Cats have excellent depth perception and are generally safe on upper decks, but initially, I would be cautious and have the cat wear the harness and collar on a safety leash before letting him out on the balcony.

‘The Star Wars Holiday Special’ marks 40 years “Everybody agreed that a television special was a good idea,” said JonaLOS ANGELES — Forty than Rinzler, who worked closely with George Lucas years ago, on the Friday at Lucasfilm. before Thanksgiving, Lucas was busy in 1978. something strange happened. A special television Expectations were high event that had been billed for the sequel, and he was moving his production as “a dazzling lineup of company to Northern stars, animation, advenCalifornia. So he didn’t ture, music and visual have time to get involved effects” turned out to be two hours (including com- with the special. He came up with the general mercials) of “The Star concept, Rinzler said: He Wars Holiday Special.”

In a way, it made sense. wanted to expand on the Wookiees and introduce It was the golden age Chewbacca’s family; with of the variety show, and concept artist Joe Johnthe cast of “Star Wars,” which had blown up the cinematic universe the year before, had made appearances on the “Bob Hope Christmas Special,” “The Richard Pryor Show” and “Donny & Marie.” It wasn’t entirely without precedent that the most popular movie of the previous year would have a variety show of its own.

Even so, it wasn’t quite what fans, or television viewers, were expecting.

The show opened with Wookiees. Ten minutes of Wookiees. Yes, Chewbacca had a family, and they lived in a rad treehouse loft with thick green shag carpeting on a planet called Kashyyyk. Wookiees speak Wookiee, not English, and there were no captions, so it was 10 full minutes of grunting and miming, which is a lot.

There was something of a plot — Han, played by Harrison Ford, and Chewie had to get home in time to celebrate “Wookiee Life Day.” But then Harvey Korman appeared in drag as an alien Julia Child. Bea Arthur sang, tended bar at the Mos Eisley Cantina and danced with Greedo.

Diahann Carroll showed up for a virtual reality number, and Jefferson Starship played a hologram concert in a box.

Luke (Mark Hamill) and Leia (Carrie Fisher) made appearances but so did Art Carney. Boba Fett was introduced in an animated sequence, and at the end, the Wookiees donned red robes, grabbed orbs and marched into the sun.

Princess Leia sang.

Not surprisingly, the special was never aired again; neither was it ever officially released by Lucasfilm. It took on an urban-legendary status, occasionally popping up in bootleg VHS trading groups; Carrie Fisher once joked that she had a copy to play at parties “when I wanted everyone to leave.”

Over the years, as “Star Wars” morphed from film to franchise, much has been written about its regrettable holiday special.

And now, to mark its 40th anniversary, there’s even a play about its making.

“Everybody went into it with good intentions,” said Andrew Osborne, author of “Special,” a semifactual retelling of how it all went down that opens at L.A.’s Theatre of Note on Dec. 14.

Most of the writers and crew “were coming from a disposable pop culture perspective,” he said, and while George Lucas was hard at work creating a richly textured and expansive science-fiction universe, “everyone [at CBS] was like ‘how do we work in more musical numbers?’ ” It all started with the merchandise, or lack of it. When “Star Wars” premiered, no toys had even been developed.

Christmas 1977 came and went without the fans getting to play Jedi and Stormtroopers at home, a situation Fox wanted to correct by Christmas 1978.

But if the studio was going to sell toys, it needed something to remind kids how much they loved their heroes from a galaxy far, far away.

ston, he designed a “Clint Eastwood-style bounty hunter” named Boba Fett.

Then, according to firstperson accounts, production was turned over to CBS, who put the project in the hands of veteran variety show writers and producers.

Eventually, the holiday special made it to YouTube, where it has found new life with many watching it, Osborne says.

verything Torrel Miles thought he knew about people with disabilities was thrown aside after a car accident shattered his T12 vertebrae.

“You’d see them on the streets and people would talk about them like, ‘He’s just collecting a check,’ when they really needed help,” he said. “That’s the image I had and what I thought I had to look forward to.”

He expected the ensuing months of surgeries and physical therapy following the accident would play out like a movie montage with him struggling on the parallel bars as he ultimately learned to walk again.

His story ended differently, however, as the injury left him paralyzed from the waist down.

“I was prepared to walk out of there, and I didn’t.

I spent the next year and a half depressed, not wanting to leave the house,” he said.

When he was ready to return to the world, he found a community at the Center for Individuals with Physical Challenges and was inspired by its members.

“Seeing the people there led me to try to be a champion for disability,” he said.

MARKET WATCH

“I saw that other people with disabilities were just like me.

They had to go through trials and tribulations to restart their lives, all the obstacles they had to face.”

His experience at the center fueled a desire to return to school and be active in the community.

“Torrel is one of those people whose impact and influence kind of sneaks up on you,” she said. “He is quiet behind the scenes but before you know it, his positive attitude, bright smile and infectious spirit really grab a hold of you.”

and service.

As a board intern, Miles worked with agency staff to revamp and revitalize its disability etiquette program, which is designed to educate the public about how to better interact with people with disabilities and encourage employers to hire them.

“I feel like we’ve become more of a (human resources) program where we go to managerial staff and CEOs and employees and educate them in encountering people with disabilities so we can chip away at the stigma,” he said.

Krisann Diaz, director of development with Ability Resources, said Miles plays an essential role in the program,

from the planning to his presentations.

“As a result, the community has been impacted in such a positive way, including corporations hiring people with disabilities, people becoming more aware of accessibility needs when planning events and meetings, people feeling more comfortable when interacting with people with disabilities and using People First Language,” Diaz said.

“The program would not be what it is without Torrel’s passion and dedication to making the world a more inclusive place for people with disabilities. There is still a lot of work to be done, but we are making progress one training at a time.”

Miles’ work with Ability Resources recently earned him recognition at Leadership Tulsa’s Paragon Awards.

He was named a Rising Star Award winner, which honors an individual under 40 who demonstrates outstanding leadership.

Long said she has been impressed with Miles’ leadership journey and his outreach efforts in the community.

“Imagine the strength, tenacity and never-give-up attitude it must take for someone to turn his life around in that way,” she said. “That is Torrel. He truly is a rising star in Tulsa.”

The gains came from highgrowth stocks such as retail and industrial companies, and energy companies benefited as crude oil rose about 2 percent.

Smaller and more domesticallyfocused companies surged.

Those sectors have slumped over the last two months. Despite the gains Wednesday, the S&P 500 is down 3.2 percent so far this week.

Alec Young, managing director of global markets research at FTSE Russell, said the market has tumbled this autumn because growth in the global economy and in company profits is slowing down and

investors are worried that the situation will get worse.

Young said Wall Street essentially has a two-item wish list for the holidays: a general trade agreement between the U.S. and China and a sign that the Fed will raise interest rates at a more gradual clip.

Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping are scheduled to discuss the trade situation at a Group of 20 summit at the end of this month.

If those things transpire, he said, the stock market will settle down.

Millennials to splurge this holiday — on their pets

By Gerald Porter Jr. Bloomberg

Owner Jim Burns restocks the shelves with dog toys in May while working at Pet Supplies Plus, 8221 E. 61st St. Millennial shoppers, known for their industrydisrupting tastes, will spend heavily on their pets this holiday season, according to a new report. IAN MAULE/Tulsa World

Millennials love their pets, and that love’s showing up on their holiday credit-card bills.

The much-discussed generation of shoppers, known for their industry-disrupting tastes, will spend heavily on their pets this holiday season — more than double what consumers overall are expected to pony up, according to a report from PwC. Millennial households earning $70,000 or more will be the biggest spenders, forking over an average of $183 for pet gifts this holiday, versus the $67 that overall consumers will spend, according to PwC. High-earning millennials, feeling good about the economy, will spend an average of $2,021 on all gifts this holiday season

— including for humans.

The holiday spending comes as pet owners increasingly treat their animals like members of their families — a trend known as “humanization” — boosting spending for premium pet food and toys.

“It’s the same kind of joy you get when you bring home a gift to a small child,” said Lori Kogan, a psychologist and clinical sciences professor at Colorado State University.

Pet stores are trying to cash in on the trend. Petco is rolling out products targeted at gift-seeking consumers, with Christmas and Hanukkah-themed stockings, toys and treats already on shelves.

The company is also gearing its latest dog apparel brand, “Reddy,” toward millennial shoppers, according

Chief Merchandising Officer Alex Tomey.

“Millennial consumers are fanatics about their pets,” Tomey said.

Christopher Rivera, 32, makes that clear. Rivera — who works at an Unleashed by Petco, a small-format store on Manhattan’s Upper East Side — said he’s already bought a laser pointer for his 19-year-old cat, Ajani. With the holidays around the corner, the Bronx-native is now thinking about what else to put under the tree.

“I’m going to just give her some extra treats, maybe one of those Christmas trees that have the catnip in them,” he said, noting that his cat is “equal priority” as friends and family when it comes to holiday gifts.

“My cat is my sole responsibility; she’s a perpetual kid.”

Homebuilder confidence plunges as mortgage rates climb

By Katia Dmitrieva Bloomberg

Confidence among U.S. homebuilders plummeted by the most since 2014 as the highest borrowing costs in eight years restrain demand, adding to signs of a cooling housing market that will weigh on the Federal Reserve’s debate over how far to raise interest rates.

The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index dropped eight points in November to 60, the lowest level since August 2016, according to a report Monday. That compared with the median estimate of economists for a one-point drop to 67.

The homebuilder index represents one of the first breaks in high levels of business and consumer confidence that have persisted since Donald Trump was elected president in November 2016. While the index remains in positive territory, the group called on policy makers to take note of the housing situation as

a possible warning sign about the broader economy.

The slowdown may have implications for how far the central bank will extend its run of eight interest-rate hikes since late 2015. The Fed is expected to raise interest rates in December and will also update projections that in September showed a median outlook of three quarterpoint hikes next year.

“Rising mortgage interest rates in recent months coupled with the cumulative run-up in pricing has caused housing demand to stall,” NAHB Chief Economist Robert Dietz said in a statement accompanying the data. “Given that housing leads the economy, policy makers need to focus more on residential market conditions.”

The NAHB sub-index measuring current sales fell seven points to 67, the lowest since August 2016, while the index for the six-month outlook for transactions dropped 10 points to 65, the lowest since May 2016.

traffic declined eight points to 45, also the lowest since August 2016.

Other reports this week are expected to show a more stable housing-market picture, with starts and existing-home sales both projected to rise slightly in October, despite the headwinds.

Even small companies may be able to cut Amazon-like deals A company doesn’t need to be as big as Amazon to get a real estate deal

By Joyce M. Rosenberg Associated Press

NEW YORK — A company doesn’t need to be as big as Amazon to get a good deal on real estate.

Whether a small business wants to buy or rent, it may have leverage with landlords or local governments to get breaks on rent or taxes. It’s especially doable if a company can be a drawing card that helps boost local commerce or has significant job creation plans. The key is often to look for real estate in an area that needs an economic boost.

Even the smallest and newest businesses may be able to negotiate, says Seth Kaplowitz, who teaches real estate courses at San Diego State University.

For example, a young doctor or dentist willing to start a practice in an area that needs more medical or dental services may be able to get financial help in buying and/or setting up an office.

Small businesses can also band together and ne-

gotiate as a bloc, Kaplowitz says.

“They can say, ‘this is what we’re bringing to the downtown. What can you do to help us?’” he says.

Amazon, which plans headquarters in New York’s Long Island City section and Arlington, Virginia, each employing 25,000 people, won a promise from New York officials for at least $2.8 billion in tax credits and grants and expects $573 million in breaks from Virginia. Amazon, which is moving into a formerly industrial boat basin in New York, pledged money to fund job training programs for public housing residents, provide space for a new school and pay into a city fund that will be used for projects that benefit the community, Mayor Bill de Blasio says.

When businesses that cater to consumers are looking to rent, they can get favorable leasing terms and help with renovations and repairs if they have an attractive or unique brand that’s likely to draw shoppers or other businesses to a neighborhood or small shopping center. A retailer or service provider who offers “something nobody else has in the neighborhood” will appeal to a

landlord, Kaplowitz says.

Owners are also likely to get a better deal in a neighborhood that’s been depressed but is showing signs of turning around.

But even companies that cater to other businesses can get a deal. If they are willing to rent in a building that’s sat empty for some time, landlords are likely to make more concessions.

Owners need to first figure out if they want to buy or rent. If they’re interested in buying, they should consider if the business is likely to outgrow a property within a few years?

And if it does, is it feasible to add on to the space?

Owning a building means being responsible for its upkeep. Does the owner have the time or available staffers to deal with maintenance and emergencies? And financial resources for unexpected expenses like damage from severe weather?

Does the business have predictable or stable cash flow? If it does, buying may be best, Kaplowitz says.

“If you’re going to be around for a while, you want to own,” he says. “If you’re willing to wait out the up and down cycles, ownership is the way to travel.”

The Mortgage Bankers Association said last week the average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage rose to 5.17 percent, the highest since April 2010.

The stalling in the housing market will be a part of the Fed’s debate at its meeting Dec. 18-19, where investors expect the cen-

tral bank to raise interest rates for the fourth time this year.

The Fed and private economists generally expect growth to cool from its strong pace in the second and third quarters of 2018; some analysts see the possibility of a recession in 2020 as the effects of fiscal stimulus fade.

At the same time, the housing market’s slowdown may not be as much of a negative for the economy as during the previous expansion.

Residential investment accounts for about 3.9 percent of gross domestic product now, compared with 6.7 percent in 2005. The homebuilder index is still above 50, indicating more builders view conditions as good rather than poor.

Previous extended declines in the homebuilder index — which dates to 1985 — have preceded the last three recessions. The drop in early 2014 — a year the housing market slumped — was followed by a rebound as it recovered.
