Troopers out in force for holiday weekend

Sports, Page 5b

Oklahoma Highway Patrol troopers aren’t taking the holiday weekend off. In fact, Capt. Ronnie Hampton, commander OHP Troop F headquartered in Ardmore, says there will be more troopers than usual on area roads, highways and Interstate 35. “We will have increased patrols throughout the seven-county (Carter, Johnston, Love, Marshall, Murray, Garvin and Pontotoc)

area,” Hampton said. And that’s not the only place those enjoying the holiday weekend should expect to encounter troopers. Hampton said there will also be a special Point of Last Drink operation conducted Saturday in Carter County. “We are planning another large scale DUI saturation patrol in Carter County focusing on the areas where our Point of Last Drink data shows to be a problem,” the troop commander said. Troop F troopers conducted a similar POLD operation during the July 4th holiday. That

Dickson High School juniors Victoria Chapman and Taner Hale examine radish plantings Thursday at the school’s greenhouse. Horticulture students planted a variety of vegetables and flowers as part of the first class project in the newly revitalized greenhouse. Laura Eastes/The Ardmoreite By Laura Eastes laura.eastes@ardmoreite.com

hen agriculture teacher and FFA advisor Zack Gradberry first arrived at Dickson High School in August 2013, he noticed pretty quickly the district’s greenhouse used as a teaching tool in the horticulture class and an aid for FFA projects was not in the most ideal condition. The plastic-shell was no longer clear, but an aged-yellow. Holes and cracks in the shell prohibited the facility from any sort of temperature control. It was also not the place to be when a rain storm came though, and, at times, insects could be seen on the plants, he said.

In an effort to rehabilitate the greenhouse, the school district purchased a new shell, and Gradberry turned to the Noble Foundation to ask about who to hire for installation. “I was just asking for a recommendation,” Gradberry says of speaking with a Noble Foundation employee at a training event. “He said he could do one better.” Following that initial conversation with Frank Hardin, Noble Academy education and outreach manager, Noble Foundation volunteers took on the greenhouse project, not only installing the new shell, but transforming the greenhouse into a viable year-round plant production factory. The transformation took place during the summer, with the greenhouse ready for

students when academic classes began earlier this month. “If it wouldn’t have been for them, I don’t know how long it would have taken us to get it where it is now,” Gradberry says. Gradberry points to the perimeter of the greenhouse first in explaining all the efforts made by the Noble Foundation volunteers, who dug a trench around the greenhouse to end drainage problems. Additionally, the building’s plumbing, electrical and lights were updated thanks to the Noble Foundation, which has a long-history of supporting community projects and being proactive in educational outreach in area schools.

Efforts to bolster GT numbers falter EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the sixth in a series looking at Ardmore City Schools’ community relationships, performance and chain of command. By Michael Pineda michael.pineda@ardmoreite.com

Ardmore City Schools caught the attention of the Oklahoma State Department of Education during fall 2013 when it reported only 120 gifted and talented students in the system during the Oct. 15 reporting period.

The number fell well short of the 506 reported during the previous school year, and failed to include any high school students. Leading in to the reporting period, the high school had presented 20 students. Even with the 20, ACS would have had only Missy Storm 140, which was a sharp decline from years past.

What’s Saturday

A Homegoing Celebration, honoring the life of Rondre Lamar Hornbeak, age 38, will be at 11 a.m. Saturday at Macedonia Baptist Church. His final resting place will be in Abramsville Cemetery in Gene Autry with his Pastor, the Rev. John Roberts, officiating. Rondre died Aug. 22, 2014. He was born in Ardmore, Nov. 25, 1975, to Brenda Kay Brown and Ronnie Luther Hornbeak. He attended Heritage Christian Center and Ardmore High School. Rondre accepted Christ as Lord and Savior and was baptized July 7, 2007, under the leadership of Pastor John Roberts at Macedonia Baptist Church. He loved the Lord. He would stand during Sunday School and give his testimony about God’s love. Rondre was a big help to his family. He had a special place in his heart for

his nephew Quinten and niece Derika. He always encouraged them to pursue their dreams, while assisting Derika with the cleaning of her room. He called Quinten his godson, while Derika was his little girl. He and Mamo Sarah took care of each other. He would drive her to and from paying bills and grocery shopping. They had a joke between themselves as being the poorest two in the family. He and his great-aunt Medie had a pastime of having lunch at Casey’s. He loved those times. Rondre’s passion for life was with his family and serving his family. He was an aide to them in every way possible. After the death of his parents, his aunt Gwen Willis, uncle James and the late Evelyn Agers-Hornbeak, stepped into his life and helped rear him. Aunt Gwen and Uncle James remain

special in his life today. Rondre’s death came as a shock to all. He was preceded in death by his father Ronnie Luther in 1988, his mother Brenda Kay in 1989, and his paternal grandfather Luther Hornbeak in 1989. He leaves to mourn his death, yet, to forever cherish those precious memories, two daughters, Darian of Tulsa, and Mariah of Edmond; paternal grandmother Sarah Hornbeak, Dunbar; three sisters and a brother-inlaw, Ronesha and Derrick Roberts, Ardmore, Yvette Vasquez and Valerie Hornbeak and a brother, Luther Hornbeak, each of Las Cruces, N.M.; a great-aunt, Almedia Roberts; special cousins with whom he grew up, Cardell Hornbeak, Baeyan Brown and Ursula Hill; aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, numerous other cousins

‘Tipsy Tow’ seeks to avoid holiday DUIs Tipsy Tow, a free ride for drivers who have had too much to drink and a free vehicle tow, will be offered in Ardmore starting at 6 p.m. today and continuing throughout the Labor Day weekend. The service, promoting safer streets over the holiday, is sponsored by the American Automobile Association; and Chuck Mai, spokesman for AAA Oklahoma, says Tipsy Tow isn’t just for AAA members — it’s for anyone. “The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration tells us someone is killed in a drunk driving crash every 51 minutes on average throughout the year,” Mai said. “Over the Labor Day weekend, that statistic jumps to one

drunk driving fatality every 34 minutes.” While AAA encourages drivers to plan ahead and use a designated driver or a cab, sometimes the unexpected happens. “We often hear of people taking chances and driving when they really shouldn’t, simply because they don’t want to hitch a ride and leave their car behind. This way, everyone, including the vehicle, gets home safely,” Mai said adding Tipsy Tow, “will safely transport you and your vehicle within a 15mile radius from point of pickup, no questions asked. Call for a Tipsy Tow at (800) AAA-HELP. AAA will dispatch a truck which will tow the vehicle and give a ride for up to two people. The

only catch, Mai says, is that there’s only one place AAA will take motorists: home. Tipsy Two will operate until 4 a.m. Tuesday.

fluctuation in numbers. Also, I believe a few years earlier, the enrollment at the high school was higher.” On Dec. 13, Assistant Superintendent Missy Storm sent an email to Kim Holland, who was the Ardmore High School Principal. In the email, Storm said, “The State Department of Education has extended Ardmore the opportunity to identify gifted and talented students at the high school. This offer is only extended through the first of next week. It is imperative that we take advantage of this, for obvious reasons.” Storm said she was involved in the effort to identify additional students in an effort to prevent the school from losing funding. But the effort would fall short. Bates identified the lost funding at $74,000. “There was funding loss from the October count because they (high school GT students) weren’t considered at all, and that factors through the fiscal year,” Storm said. “We didn’t get the numbers adjusted in time in December when they opened it back up, and we got called back in early November. Part of this is there is also a change in staffing at the state department and with our own accreditation officer. So you have got a lot of different players there. “So I got called that these numbers look strange, and then there was a follow-up — we don’t want that to be that kind of hit on your district. What can we do to help and then we try to catch up? And we did not get those numbers caught up and entered in time for what they call the mid-term adjustment.” Storm also described the effort that went into identifying the high school students qualified for GT before the adjustment, which involved her meeting with high school personnel. The meetings included a review of the test scores needed in addition to a teacher-referral form. “We were in constant communication, here are the criteria, here is last year’s list that was printed out from PowerSchool, here is last year’s eighth graders now ninth graders, this would be a good starting place. I don’t know if they do qualify or not. Basically that would have been the work done in the spring had it been done. And so I got that for them.” Storm said she and two others keyed the scores in, working through the week before the winter break and communicating with high school personnel to try to verify the information. “Everybody was working pretty

enrolled in Dickson’s horticultural class took what they’ve learned in the classroom and put it into practice, utilizing the updated greenhouse. Gradberry says having a fully functional greenhouse will enrich the curriculum and give students the hands-on experience in areas such as plant classification, reproduction, plant growth, soil and more. “What I teach in the classroom, they can put into practice,” he says. He envisions much growth

fast,” she said. “So, there was some human error, I was very much involved with trying to get all that put together.” The only problem was there was a miscommunication on when the mid-term adjustment took place. Storm said she had spoken with Timmie Spangler, state director of Gifted and Talented, Instructional Materials and Library. She said Spangler asked her to have the adjusted numbers in before Christmas. “(Spangler) wasn’t more specific; perhaps I should have also asked,” Storm said. “They aren’t off like we are, so I sort of assumed that was what they were going to do. They ended up doing the mid-term adjustment on the Thursday or Friday just as we got dismissed, if I am not mistaken — earlier than I anticipated and perhaps what Ms. Spangler had (anticipated). “That meant all this hurry up, roll up your sleeves, get this done, and we still didn’t receive the funding; we didn’t rescue the funding effort. It was an ouch.” The list would draw criticism, and on March 13, 2014, Storm sent out an email to high school personnel addressing the situation and her role in putting the list together. Storm wrote that there was a lot of misinformation traveling about, and she wanted to clarify some misunderstandings so that everyone could get on the same page. She pointed out the district’s plan was different than the state’s in that GT director Shirley Morgan wanted students’ status reviewed when transitioning from elementary to middle school and from middle school to high school. In the email, Storm also wrote, “I also need to make it clear that the GT list was submitted to me in December by Ms. (Dena) York, Mr. (Chauvin) Aaron and Mr. Holland; it was not a list generated from me, Ms. Morgan or from anywhere else. I have been told by several of you that some of the students on this list are not gifted. If this is the case, it is apparent not enough attention was paid to the names before they were submitted to me and that this certainly has proven to be a problem for us all. But it is the list we are currently bound by and the one which you must use to verify.” During an interview, Storm was asked if she would have been able to catch errors when entering the students into the system in December. “No,” she said. “Part of what was going on at that point, (staff ) were identifying. I had none of the identification parts because that comes in an individual gifted plan.” Storm said the process went backwards, and explained that because of what the school was doing, not all of the documentafrom the greenhouse and its ability to advance Dickson’s successful FFA program, which was 120 students strong last year. FFA horticultural programs typically encourage and teach members about growing vegetables, plants and flowers as well as leadership, as the students organize sales and markets, benefiting the FFA. “I would love to see a plant sale, where we are selling vegetables straight to consumers,” Gradberry says. Juniors Victoria Chapman and Taner Hale also looks forward to seeing a Dickson FFA market or sale. Chapman enrolled in the agriculture class after spending this summer

tion was available, which would have included a teacher recommendation, a test score or project or something along that line. “Because of the time frame, they weren’t producing all of that for my evidence, these were just names,” she said. “And I don’t know all of the names to be able to do that.” Storm said when the list went back to teachers, there were questions about why some names had been included. “The word was this was the list I had sent to the high school, I didn’t know those students, their names. I had provided the previous year’s list for them to verify, which should have been done in the spring of 2013, and we would have started with a better slate, which is where we are now. We kind of had things out of order. It was not a list generated from (central office), we had no way of doing that.” Storm was made aware that providing documentation would be difficult, according to a string of emails. On Dec. 13, she had notified Holland there had been an extension to send in the names, and on Dec. 18, she emailed Holland and high school counselor Dena York. In the email, Storm wrote, “I have added those students Kim and I discussed this evening. They are only entered as a name and checked in the Arts (category) … they will need additional information entered, of course. I also marked them in PowerSchool in hopes of having an updated roster on the WAVE (state reporting system) by tomorrow evening. Once that has occurred, I will ask the accreditation and GT application to be opened so that they can be revised early Friday morning. I will wait to speak to Timmie Spangler at the (State Department of Education) until I know we are well on our way to being able to finish this up.” Storm asked for information to be provided the next day, which included: • One or more ability types indicated • Two or more criteria to document the identification • Begin checking programming options • Begin preparing individualized GT plan to be signed by a parent • Forward a copy of the letter to be sent to parents for review and approval She also wanted the letter finalized two days later as well as individual GT plans for signing. Holland responded in an email the next morning, “Missy, What does finish this up mean? By tomorrow we won’t be able to accomplish a lot more, so help me understand by Friday (next day) what the expectation is.” Storm responded, “By finishing up, I mean to be able to call

working on a garden with her mother. She wanted the chance to get a more in-depth learning experience of what makes plants grow. Hale says he shares a similar interest of learning the ins and outs of plant growth. He planted squash and radishes in the greenhouse Thursday. “With the new shell, the air conditioning will stay at between 85 and 90 degrees, even in the winter; this gives us a better chance at our growing projects,” Chapman says. “We hope to provide for our community and our school with fresh vegetables and flowers.” “Locally raised and grown by us,” Hale adds.

the SDE, I want to have each student’s TWO documented criteria identified so that, if asked, I can justify this. And that we are underway on indicating one or more programming options and creating the corresponding individual GT plan so we can have parents sign on Jan. 6.” On Jan. 7, Storm wrote Spangler an email thanking her for working with the school, and told her she had been able to work with the high school principal and counselors to identify each of the gifted and talented students according to the criteria. She also said she, as well as the director of curriculum, had entered students into PowerSchool, and individualized plans had been created and parents had been notified. Two days later, Spangler told Storm there was no way to open up the WAVE to synchronize the new numbers. “State aid is in the middle of mid-term adjustments and verification, and cannot open that up. They are pulling all kinds of reports, and I have no idea when this can be done. I am waiting myself on verification from them of information my department needs to share with districts. Since information had to be pulled before the end of the year, I am not even sure they can change the numbers on the report now. I will find out what can be done when they are finished with their reports and verification.” Storm responded and said serving students is the school’s main objective, and discussed a loss in revenue and said it would be appreciated if the state department would take this into consideration. “Sadly, we were in the middle of reviewing each of the students’ cumulative folders when we had to cancel classes due to the ice storm,” Storm wrote. “When we did get it entered into our student accounting system (PowerSchool), I was unable to connect with you; just very unfortunate timing all the way around. “As I have said from the time I got to this new position, it is going to be a slow uphill climb to get things back on track. So on we go. I hope that you will get some hopeful news. But if not, I still am glad we are on track for our students.” That same day, a letter was sent from Spangler to Bates notifying him that Ardmore City Schools was one of 25 districts randomly selected for an audit to determine compliance with provisions of the Education of Gifted and Talented Children Act.

Fighting racism …and sharks

OLLYWOOD—Happy Friday, everybody, and God Bless America. The New York Times announced it will refuse to print the name Washington Redskins in its sports section. The editor says the name is associated with imperial conquest, cultural genocide and racism. From now on, the newspaper will simply refer to the team as the Redskins. Los Angeles beaches had huge waves and shark warnings Wednesday. Never poke sharks in the eyes to protect yourself. A shark will usually swim right by you in the ocean but if you embarrass him in front of his friends by poking him in the eyes, he’s got to eat you to save face. Mexico’s president Enrique Peña Nieto addressed the California legislature Wednesday and thanked the state for welcoming immigrants from Mexico. Next month marks 50 years Argus that California has offered Mexicans Hamilton a pathway to citizenship. It’s called the San Diego Freeway. New Yorkers objected strenuously to a poll Monday which said New York City is the least friendly city in America. For instance, last night in Times Square, two complete strangers agreed to share a cab. One guy took the tires and the radio while the other guy took the engine. President Obama returned from his vacation Monday with the world coming apart at the seams. He’s fighting charges he’s aloof and disconnected. After his news briefing Tuesday, President Obama confidently predicted America will be out of the Ice Bucket Challenge by 2017. NAACP Image Award producer Charles Belk was seized on the street by Beverly Hills cops for six hours because he fit a bank robber’s description. It said tall, middle-aged, and black. Bank of America isn’t taking that 16 billion dollar fine from the Attorney General well at all. President Obama was reported ready Wednesday to order U.S. air strikes of ISIS positions in eastern Syria and Iraq. It was their use of Molotov cocktails that moved Obama to finally bomb the terrorists . He found out that ISIS was burning cities without paying any carbon taxes. San Diego’s Doug McCain, who was killed fighting for ISIS, was described as an aspiring rap singer by his classmates on Tuesday. This casualty points to one conclusion. ISIS is recruiting failed rap singers to help overthrow Syria and Syria is recruiting cops from Missouri to deal with ISIS. The Missouri Department of Insurance helped Ferguson businesses file claims for looted merchandise, broken windows and lost business Wednesday. It helped when the agitators finally left. Al Sharpton has chosen to stay out of the public eye, he’s back on MSNBC every day.

The dummy tells you to be active By Phillip Alder

Brian Tracy said, “I’ve found that luck is quite predictable. If you want more luck, take more chances. Be more active. Show up more often.” In my experience, the better you play, the luckier you will be. And when you are being lucky, press the accelerator to the floor. This week we are looking at active and passive defense; whether the defenders should try hard to win tricks or should wait for declarer to give them winners. Often the auction will provide clear evidence of which way to turn. But sometimes it will not help. Then the defenders should study the dummy for guidance -- as in this deal. South is in four hearts. West leads the diamond two. After winning with his ace, what should East do next? The dummy is threatening because that spade suit is surely going to provide declarer with a source of tricks, on which he can discard his losers. East must defend actively by shifting to the club 10. Here,

this garners three tricks in the suit to defeat the contract. Then East should congratulate West on his lead. If he had chosen, say, a trump, declarer would have taken at least 11 tricks. Finally, defense can be affected by the form of the game. When you are playing Chicago or Swiss teams or knockout teams, when overtricks are relatively unimportant, follow this week’s guidelines. But when you are competing in a pair event, where overtricks can be like gold-dust, you must be more careful if your active defense is likely to blow a trick.

Mystery solved

Mystery of Death Valley’s moving rocks solved DEATH VALLEY NATIONAL PARK (AP) — For years scientists have theorized about how large rocks — some weighing hundreds of pounds — zigzag across Racetrack Playa in Death Valley National Park, leaving long trails etched in the earth. Now two researchers at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego, have photographed these “sailing rocks” being blown by light winds across the former lake bed. Cousins Richard Norris and James Norris said the movement is made possible when ice sheets that form after rare overnight rains melt in the rising sun, making the hard ground muddy and slick. On Dec. 20, 2013, the cousins catalogued 60 rocks moving across the playa’s pancake-flat surface. “Observed rock movement occurred on sunny, clear days, following nights of sub-freezing temperatures,” they wrote in a report published Wednesday in the online scientific journal PLOS ONE. The conclusion proves theories that have been floated since geologists began studying the moving rocks in the 1940s. Richard Norris, 55, a paleobiologist at Scripps, and James, 59, a research engineer, launched their “Slithering Stones Research Initiative” in 2011, the Los Angeles Times reported. After getting permits from the National Park Service, they installed a weather station in the area and placed 15 stones equipped with global positioning devices on the playa. The “GPS stones,” which were engineered to record movement and velocity, were stationed at the southern end of the playa where rocks begin their strange journeys after tumbling down a cliff. Eventually, Richard and James Norris returned to inspect the instruments. “We found the playa covered with ice,” Richard recalled to the Times. “We also noticed fresh rock trails near shards of thin ice stacked up along the shoreline.” The following afternoon, “we were sitting on a mountainside and admiring the view when a light wind kicked up and the ice started cracking,” he said. “Suddenly, the whole process unfolded before our eyes.” databank friDAY, august 29, 2014 Today is the 241st day of 2014 and the 70th day of summer.

Human skull donated to Goodwill store

AUSTIN (AP) — Police are scratching their heads trying to work out who donated a human skull to a thrift store in Austin, Texas. Homicide Detective Derek Israel said that foul play is not suspected and that he just wants to know how the adult skull came to be left at the Goodwill store. Goodwill store staff discovered the skull while sifting through donations on July 16. A spokeswoman says it could have been gifted up to a week prior to its discovery. No other details about it have been released. This is at least the fourth skull to be donated to the international nonprofit this summer. Three were donated in July to a Goodwill store

Shaun the shaggy sheep finally shorn SYDNEY (AP) — Shaun the shaggy Australian sheep has at last been shorn smooth. But the woolly wanderer wasn’t the wooliest of them all. The sheep apparently had been hiding for years on a farm on the island state of Tasmania and had never been shorn. The Australian Broadcasting Corp. reported Thursday that Shaun lost 23.5 kilograms (52 pounds) of wool at his first haircut. Owners Peter and Netty Hazel had hoped Shaun would beat a record held by a now-deceased New Zealand sheep named Shrek.

Dogs get blues when youngsters go back to school LOS ANGELES (AP) — Young people aren’t the only ones who get back-to-school blues. Pooches used to months of constant playtime can get upset when their best buddies disappear with the dog days of summer. Many dogs whine and wait eagerly at the front door but eventually adjust to the absence of their young owners when they are in class. But millions of dogs can feel abandoned, sad and unable to cope — and they look for ways to lash out. Many of the nation’s 80 million dogs have separation anxiety, Dr. Nick Dodman, of Tufts University’s Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine in Massachusetts, said citing studies. Dogs with separation anxiety will bark, howl or whine; destroy something, leaving behind scratched doors, damaged blinds or torn curtains; or have accidents, Dodman said. Side effects for anxious dogs don’t stop at whimpering. Some dogs refuse to eat when their owners are gone, experts say. Nearly half the anxious dogs have noise phobias, so if a storm hits while they are in an empty house, they can panic. A really insecure dog might become clingy and follow their owners around. Besides recommended independence training, there are some things owners can do to ease their dogs’ blues. Dodman suggests:

n Make your departure a happy time with toys and treats. n Create a place in the house where the dog feels safe. n Start the new routine before school begins. n Don’t indulge behavior with baby talk or sympathy. n See a vet if it doesn’t improve. To cope with separation, first-grader Harry Williams of Kanab, Utah, takes the family dogs, Flora and Gandalf, to the bus stop each morning to get a bit more time with them. “He is sad to leave them and hugs them like 10 times before he gets on the bus. Usually Flora whines when the bus pulls away,” mom Jill Williams said. But the dogs mostly sleep while the youngster is at school. For those whose dogs have more serious problems, other more expensive options include pet sitters, dog walkers and doggy day camp. For the young Grimmett sisters in Edmond, their dogs, an English setter and a Yorkshire terrier, got plenty of attention and outdoor playtime over the summer, but the dogs don’t throw a fit when 10-year-old Willow and 5year-old Coral go to school, which started this month. The dogs welcome the girls home with unconditional love and affection — and no criticism, said mom, Dr. Danel Grimmett of the Sunset Veterinarian Clinic.

“Yes, they miss their girls, but they seem to understand,” she said. “And all the time away during the day disappears as soon as the girls return.”

Responsibility for birth control falls on both partners

Springsteen picture book out in November

By Abigail Van Buren DEAR ABBY: I am sick to death of hearing about people who have too many kids and the hardship it imposes. Common sense for the women is to use birth control, but why don’t men step up to the plate and have a vasectomy? I had one years ago Abigail and it has Van Buren worked well for me. I never hear it mentioned on talk shows or read it in any advice columns, including yours. Men of America, wake up! — JOSEPH IN LAS VEGAS DEAR JOSEPH: I’m sure the word “vasectomy” has been used in previous Dear Abby columns, but I’m glad to remind my male readers. While I have never taken a poll on this subject, I’ll hazard a guess or two about why men are reluctant to have them: One, they equate it with castration; two,

they think at some point they might change their mind or their partner; and three, they’re afraid it will be painful. Drumroll: For any men out there who are worried that some tragedy might wipe out your family and you will have to start over, sperm can be banked for up to 20 years and used should the need arise. P.S. There are also more options open to women than the pill. These include IUDs and, if they’re sure they want to be finished with childbearing, tubal ligation.

nnn DEAR ABBY: I raised three kids in a normal household, putting them to bed between two sheets. Now my two younger ones no longer sleep between sheets, but wrapped up in a blanket on a sheetless mattress. One of them has children, and is passing the habit on to them. The only thing I can conclude is that it’s laziness, and I’m wondering where I went wrong. Has anyone else encountered this? — TAKEN ABACK IN MISSOURI DEAR TAKEN ABACK:

People have varying sleep “styles.” If, when your children lived with you, you taught them to launder their sheets and make their beds, then you didn’t go wrong. (One can only hope they wash those blankets regularly.) If possible, invite your grandchildren for sleepovers so they can experience how the “other half” lives. You would be doing them a favor because children can’t learn what a parent hasn’t taught them. nnn DEAR ABBY: I’m a 25year-old woman and lonely. I’m interested in a guy I have known for years. He’s my older brother’s friend, and we’re only six years apart. When I expressed my interest in him, he politely let me know that he would not date me because of my brother. Is there a secret code that I’m missing? Is it taboo for a man who is your older brother’s friend to date the younger sibling? I am confused as to why it would matter since we are both adults. — LONELY IN WISCONSIN

Pictured from left to right: Amber McCullers, PT, Sharee Franks, PTA and Bonnie Nelson, PSS

DEAR LONELY: While it isn’t “taboo” to date the sibling of a close friend, it can lead to complications if the relationship doesn’t work out. Friendships have become strained or ended because of it. Not knowing the man you have your sights set on, I can’t speculate whether the reason he gave you was the truth. It could also be that the feelings you have for him are not reciprocated, but regardless — now that you know he isn’t interested, it’s time to look elsewhere for someone to assuage your loneliness.

When we struggle to understand why “Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.” —Psalm 43:5 (NIV) With the recent unexpected suicide of comedian and actor Robin Williams, many in the world struggle to understand what would lead someone who seemed to have it all to take his own life. Even though Robin candidly shared his lifelong struggles with depression and addictions, it’s still difficult to comprehend how a funny and kind man would be so desperate to end it all. For those who saw a comedic genius on stage and in the movies, it might be harder to grasp the pain he often concealed. I recall reading an article about the famous comic about 10 years ago. The article revealed facts about the beloved actor’s childhood. As a child, he was overweight, shy and bullied by others in his class. Comedy became his relief and earned him friends. Robin’s father, who was a senior executive at Ford Motor Company, was away much of the time and,

according to some sources, when the elder Williams was home, the young boy found his father “frightening.” His mother also worked, leaving Robin to be cared Carol for by the maids Round employed by the family. He claimed his upbringing left him with “an acute fear of abandonment and a condition he described as ‘Love Me Syndrome.’” Robin Williams is not the only one of us to battle depression. I’ve been there. There are some — even Christians — who consider the topic taboo. Depression exists. Study the Bible and you will find many people, including King David, who struggled with the affliction. Even the saint, Mother Teresa, fought depression, which can be triggered by the death of a loved one, illness, loss of a job or status, divorce or many other traumatic events. Commenting on Robin William’s death, Andrew Solomon, author of “The Noonday Demon,” said, “We have to recognize that if you have depression and enormous wealth and success, the love of most of the people in America — you can have all those things and still be subject

to the ravages of depression. The tragedy is that he didn’t have any place to turn.” Solomon’s last statement made me wonder. No place to turn? A man who brought so much joy and laughter to others had no place to turn? The psalmist reminds us, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit” (Psalm 34:18, NIV). English Baptist pastor and writer, Charles Spurgeon once said, “I find myself frequently depressed — perhaps more so than any other person here. And I find no better cure for that depression than to trust in the Lord with all my heart, and seek to realize afresh the power of the peace-speaking blood of Jesus, and His infinite love in dying upon the cross to put away all my transgressions.” If you are thinking about suicide, don’t keep it inside. Tell someone. Never give up the fight. There is always hope. The author is available to speak at women’s events or to lead prayer journaling workshops.

OBI taps into rivalry spirit in quest for blood Oklahoma Blood Institute will bring “Bedlam to Ardmore” with a game plan to save lives through a blood drive from 9 a.m. to noon Sunday at Rawhide Cowboy Church. “Someone needs blood every two seconds,” said John Armitage, M.D., president and CEO of OBI. “That is why we are asking everyone to rally their community spirit along with their school spirit this football season.” Anyone age 16 and older can be a blood donor. Each blood donor will receive the choice

A federal judge in Utah has issued a final ruling that strikes down parts of the state’s anti-polygamy law, in a lawsuit filed by the family that appears on the TV show “Sister Wives.” The Associated Press

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Utah’s governor says the state should appeal a court ruling that favors the family on the TV show “Sister Wives” and strikes down key parts of a law criminalizing polygamy. Republican Gov. Gary Herbert said Thursday at his monthly televised news conference on KUED that state laws should be defended in court until all appeals are exhausted. For now, it appears to be legal in Utah for people to legally marry one person and live with others they consider spouses. Though that practice was illegal until a judge’s ruling that was finalized Wednesday, police and prosecutors in

Utah have long declined to criminally charge consenting adults in plural marriages. The lack of enforcement may have influenced U.S. District Judge Clark Waddoups’ decision, Herbert said, but the law should stay on the books. “I think it’s probably not good policy and good practice for families to have that kind of a situation, so that’s my own provincial view of traditional marriage,” Herbert said. A federal judge on Wednesday finalized a ruling in favor of the TLC reality TV stars Kody Brown and his four wives, deciding that the

law forbidding cohabitation violates their right to religious freedom. Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes’ office said in a statement Wednesday that attorneys are reviewing the ruling and expect to make a decision on an appeal in the coming weeks. The Brown family’s attorney Jonathan Turley says the state has 30 days to submit a notice of appeal in the case. There are an estimated 38,000 people who call themselves fundamentalist Mormons and practice or believe in polygamy, according to the polygamy advocacy group Principle Voices. Most of them live

in Utah and other Western states. Utah’s bigamy law was stricter than the laws in 49 other states, making it illegal to even purport to be married to multiple partners or live together. Most bigamy laws prohibit people from having multiple legal marriage licenses. The judge left in place that portion of Utah’s bigamy law. The practice of polygamy is a legacy of the early teachings of the Mormon church. The mainstream Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints abandoned polygamy in 1890 as Utah moved toward statehood. Today, it strictly prohibits the practice.

Pope to honor dead on both sides of WWI VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis will honor the dead from both sides of World War I during a visit next month to northern Italy that witnessed some of the decisive final battles of the conflict — and where his own grandfather battled. On Sept. 13, Francis will lay a wreath at the Austro-Hungarian cemetery in Fogliano di Redipuglia, near Gorizia on Italy’s border with Slovenia. He will then celebrate Mass at the nearby Fascist-era memorial to 100,000 Italian dead. The Vatican said Thursday that Francis would pray for the victims of all wars during the visit, his main com-

memoration of the 100th anniversary of the start of World War I. While Italy was technically part of the Triple Alliance with AustriaHungary and Germany at the start of the war, it remained neutral until declaring war on Austria-Hungary in May, 1915 after a series of secret negotiations with Britain and France. More than 600,000 Italians were killed over the next three years, with the Battle of Caporetto in October, 1917 one of the deadliest of the entire war. Francis has previously said he recalls hearing “many painful stories from the lips of my grandfather,” who fought in the war.

The pope’s paternal grandfather, Giovanni Carlo Bergoglio, was drafted into the war at the age of 30 with a regiment along Italy’s border with Slovenia, according to documents unearthed by the newspaper and TV station of the Italian bishops’ conference. The elder Bergoglio fought in several battles during the subsequent years and at the war’s end obtained a certificate of good conduct and 200 lire. He returned to civilian life in Piedmont, but immigrated to Argentina a decade later, as Italy’s post-war economy struggled to recover.

Markets stock market

Ukraine conflict weighs on markets; retailers fall NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. financial markets ended slightly lower Thursday, marking their first loss in a week of record highs. The escalating conflict in Ukraine, disappointing retail earnings and profit outlooks combined to weigh down the market, eclipsing some good news on the U.S. economy and labor market. “The key driver was largely the Ukraine news and the uncertainty of what that means,” said Erik Davidson, deputy chief investment officer at Wells Fargo Private Bank. U.S. stock index futures pointed to a lower opening in premarket trading Thursday, following a downward turn in global stock markets as traders reacted to the developments in Ukraine. Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko said Russian forces had entered his country. He called an emergency meeting of the nation’s security council. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note declined as investors sought out lower-risk assets. A string of disappointing earnings and profit outlooks late Wednesday and early Thursday also weighed on the market early on. Not all the news was discouraging. The Commerce Department estimated that the U.S. economy grew at an annual rate of 4.2 percent in the April-June quarter. The Labor Department added to the good news, saying the number of Americans seeking unemployment benefits slipped last week to 298,000, a low level that signals employers are cutting fewer jobs and hiring is likely to remain strong. “The economic data in the U.S. continues to look quite good,” Davidson said. Nonetheless, major

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says he still intends to act on his own to change immigration policies but stopped short of reiterating his past vows to act by end of summer. Obama also says that the flow of unaccompanied minors attempting to cross the border has fallen, with the number of apprehensions in August dropping below July’s levels. He says if Congress does not act on a broader immigration overhaul, he will do what he can to improve the system. Obama has ordered a review of executive actions he could take on immigration and had said he intended to act by summer’s end.

WASHINGTON (AP) — After a bleak start to the year, the U.S. economy grew at a brisk annual rate of 4.2 percent in the April-June quarter, the government said Thursday, slightly faster than it had first estimated. The upward revision supported expectations that the second half of 2014 will prove far stronger than the first half. The Commerce Department’s second estimate of growth for last quarter followed its initial estimate of 4 percent. The upward revision reflected stronger business investment than first thought. The seasonally adjusted 4.2 percent annual growth rate for the gross domestic product — the nation’s total output of goods and services — came after the economy had shrunk at a 2.1 percent annual rate in the January-March quarter. That was the economy’s biggest drop since the depths of the Great Recession, and it reflected mainly the effects of a harsh winter that kept consumers away from shopping malls and disrupted factory production. Many economists say they expect growth of around 3 percent in the current July-September quarter and for the rest of the year.

Chickasaw Nation hosts ‘Native Voices’ — a must see exhibit

he “Native Voices” exhibit opened to the public Tuesday at the ARTesian Gallery and Studios in Sulphur. The exhibit is hosted by the Chickasaw Nation and by all accounts “Native Voices: Native People’s Concepts of Health and Illness” is more than interesting, — it’s thought provoking. The interactive exhibit allows visitors to move through the displays at their own pace and understand the connection between wellness, illness and cultural life through interviews with Native Americans, Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiians. Chickasaw Governor Bill Anoatubby called the fact that this is the first time the traveling exhibition has been displayed in the lower 48 states an “honor” adding, “This exhibit is very, very interesting. In addition to that, people will be educated about how Native Americans view health in their communities.” “Native Voices” will be featured as the cover of the lifestyles section in the Sunday edition of The Ardmoreite. We hope this upclose look at the exhibit will energize readers to see the exhibit for themselves. “This exhibition honors the Native tradition of oral history and establishes a unique collection of information,” Dr. Donald A. B. Lindberg, National Library of Medicine Director, said at Tuesday’s opening. “We hope visitors will find ‘Native Voices ’both educational and inspirational. We hope Native people will view it with pride.” We agree the exhibit is a must see.

Sunday lunch, Monday blues

IOFRIO, SPAIN —Sunday in Spain and time for

lunch. This small town, about an hour from the Mediterranean coast, is famous for the trout that are raised here in large concrete ponds. Families from all over Andalusia crowd into a dozen different restaurants. Ours is the only table set for two. Many hold three generations, or even four. Next to us, three large young men enter together and dutifully embrace their abuela, or grandmother. It is a lovely scene except for one stark fact. Many of the young people we saw that Sunday are out of work. The unemployment rate for Spaniards under 25 is about 54 percent, and almost half of those under 30 still live with their parents. Yes, families draw strength and nourishment from this weekly ritual. But in many cases they come together because young people have to rely on their parents for shelter, food and pocket money. “Spanish youth in crisis” reads a recent headline in the Financial Times, and the story quotes Ramon Espinar, spokesman for a group called Juventud Sin Futuro (Youth Without Future). “We used to have certain promises about our lives and how our lives

would pan out,” he says. “They told us that if we study and go to college and learn languages, t h e r e would be a future for us, that steve & we would cokie be able roberts to find work and live our life. That promise existed until 2008. But now that promise is broken for me and for a whole generation.” The decade before 2008 was known here as las vacas gordas, the years of the “fat cows.” Tourism and construction boomed. Young people left school early, lured by well-paying but low-skill jobs. But then, writes the FT, came “the housing bust, the banking crisis, debt, default and bankruptcies, the cruelty of the house evictions and the shame of the European bailout, the long and bitter recession and, of course, the loss of millions of jobs.” The landscape is littered with evidence of reckless spending from those years. Luxury hotels sit empty on mountaintops. A large prison has never been opened because the state ran out of money. Older people were often protected from disaster by stringent rules guaranteeing them job security and generous benefits. So when companies were

forced to downsize, their children paid the price. And they’re still paying. Economists describe the “scarring effect,” meaning that when young people fail to find work, they are at a permanent disadvantage and never reach their full earning potential. Moreover, they have to delay marriage, children and independence, and the psychic toll adds to the economic one. “It is as if someone hit the pause button on your life,” one young Spaniard told the Financial Times. These stay-at-home kids are so common — not just in Spain but throughout southern Europe — that they now have a name: NEETs. That stands for young people “Not in Employment, Education or Training,” and there are about 14 million across the continent. The European Monitoring Centre on Change recently warned that having such a large number of NEETs poses a threat to social cohesion and stability. These young people “are at higher risk of being socially and politically alienated,” said the report. “They have a lower level of interest and engagement in politics and lower levels of trust.” European leaders are finally paying attention. Last year they created the Youth Employment Initiative, a fund of more than $11 billion designed to help NEETs through enhanced job training,

apprenticeships and subsidies. But so far the impact on jobless rates has been minimal. The only real answer is steady, long-term economic growth that encourages employers to hire young people and pay them well. But European policymakers, like those in the United States, are split over how to generate that growth. Mario Draghi, who heads the European Central Bank, made news last week by advocating “a more growth-friendly overall fiscal stance” to combat Europe’s persistently weak recovery, particularly in Southern countries like Spain, Greece and Italy. But the northern Europeans, especially the Germans, who enjoy a much lower unemployment rate, continue to favor a more austere approach that prizes balanced budgets over spending and stimulation. And the expensive social benefits enjoyed by older workers add to budget woes all over Europe and limit policy options. While the politicians quarrel, young Spaniards suffer. That abuela kissing her grandsons is certainly happy to have them around for Sunday lunch. But she’d be a lot happier if they had jobs to go to on Monday morning.

have not forced Russia to resolve the crisis diplomatically. “I think there are ways for us to deepen and expand the scope of some of that work,” he said. A look at sanctions the U.S. and Europe have imposed on Russia: U.S. SANCTIONS In mid-July, the United States imposed sanctions on lucrative Russian energy and defense entities, as well as major banks. The penalties significantly expanded on previous U.S. sanctions, which hit Russian individuals and companies with travel bans and asset freezes.

But the new sanctions stopped short of fully cutting off key Russian economic sectors, a card that U.S. officials said they were holding in case Moscow launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine or took similar provocative actions. The Treasury Department sanctions targeted two major Russian energy firms, Novatek and Rosneft, and a pair of leading Russian financial institutions, Gazprombank and VEB. The sanctions restrict the entities’ ability to access U.S. capital markets, officials said. Eight Russian firms re-

sponsible for the production of small arms, mortar shells and tanks were also hit with sanctions. Also included on the sanctions list were four individuals: Putin adviser Igor Shchegolev, Russian State Duma Deputy Speaker Sergei Neverov, Ukrainian separatist leader Aleksandr Borodai and Sergey Beseda, an official with Russia’s Federal Security Service, the intelligence agency that replaced the KGB after the collapse of the Soviet Union. EU SANCTIONS In late July, the European Union imposed

widespread sanctions on Russia that ranged from freezing the assets and imposing travel banks on rich Russians to prohibiting banks controlled by the Russian government from selling bonds and shares on the EU market. The EU, Russia’s biggest trading partner, also banned the export of certain oil exploration equipment — action intended to hamper long-term development of Russia’s oil industry. Moreover, the EU banned exports and imports of weaponry and other military goods to and from Russia.

A look at US, European sanctions on Russia WASHINGTON (AP) — With Russian tanks apparently crossing into southeastern Ukraine, President Barack Obama is suggesting the possibility of more sanctions on Russia. The sanctions imposed so far have not deterred Russia, but uncertainty over their long-term impact has caused economic growth forecasts to plum-

met, prompted investors to pull money out of the country at almost twice the pace as last year and forced its central bank to raise rates to defend the Russian currency. Russian stock markets dived on Thursday as Switzerland joined the European Union in imposing restrictions on Russian state banks and fears grew that the U.S. and EU could impose further sanctions on Russian businesses and individuals. Obama said that sanctions already announced have had some impact, yet he conceded that they

Health hints

Stick with ‘good’ carbs as part of a healthy diet By Anthony L. Komaroff, M.D.

DEAR DOCTOR K: In your column you often distinguish between “good” and “bad” carbohydrates. What makes a carb good or bad?

DEAR READER: Carbohydrates – carbs – occur naturally in a variety of foods, from fruits, vegetables and milk, to breads, cereals and legumes. Carbs are also added to many foods, often in the form of sugar. Your digestive system transforms carbs into glucose (blood sugar). They are your body’s main source of energy. Whether a carb is “good” or “bad” depends on several factors. Some of the most important are: – Whether they are refined or whole; – Their effect on your blood sugar level; – Their fiber content. REFINED V E RSUS WHOLE. Refined carbs include white flour, white rice, soda, fruit drinks and sweets. The refinement process strips away many of the original carbohydrate’s valuable nutrients, fiber and vitamins. Good carbs, on the other hand, are intact, or minimally processed. They include whole grains, which

lower the risk of heart disease, diabetes and possibly stroke. Other minimally processed carbs include brown rice, oats, whole wheat flour, fruits and vegetables. (On my website, AskDoctorK.com, I’ve put a table with examples of healthy carbs to enjoy and refined carbs to avoid.) EFFECT ON BLOOD SUGAR. Your body digests refined carbs and sugars quickly. This causes blood sugar levels to rise rapidly following a meal. When the pancreas – an organ in your abdomen – senses high levels of blood sugar, it produces bursts of insulin. Insulin lowers blood sugar levels by driving the sugar from the blood into the cells. The cells need it for energy. So far, so good. The problem is that if your pancreas has to keep responding to sudden surges of blood sugar, many times a day, day after day, it gets pooped. After many years, the overworked pancreas can’t make insulin as well as it used to. That can lead to Type 2 diabetes. Good carbs take longer to digest. As a result, blood sugar and insulin rise slowly and peak at lower levels. Fruits, vegetables and whole grains tend

to keep blood sugar levels steady. The pancreas isn’t overworked, and the risk of diabetes is reduced. FIBER CONTENT. There FRANK and ERNEST are two types of fiber: insoluble and soluble. Insoluble fiber is found in the skin, peels and husks of fruits, vegetables and whole grains. It passes through your digestive tract without breaking down and helps prevent constipation. Soluble fiber is chiefly found in oats, legumes (beans and peas) and a part of fruit called pectin. Soluble fiber improves THE BORN LOSER blood sugar levels. And it decreases the level of LDL cholesterol in the blood, reducing the risk of heart disease. Fruits, vegetables and whole grains are good sources of fiber. For many years, people were told that low-fat diets were healthy. That’s wrong. Just as there are good and bad carbs, there are good and bad fats. Unfortunately, the low-fat diet craze led many people BEETLE BAILEY to substitute carbs for fat as an energy source. Even more unfortunately, the carbs people chose were bad carbs. So stick with the good carbs and eat a balanced diet.

Dickson begins its season at Carl Albert By Micah McVicker micah.mcvicker@ardmoreite.com

After years of deriding the BCS, fans will finally get what they wanted with the new College Football Playoff. The topranked Seminoles open the season on Saturday against Oklahoma State in Arlington, Texas. The

DICKSON — The Lady Comets embrace the challenges posed by strong area programs. Moreover, the Marietta Lady Indians have an opportunity this season to defend their Class 3A state title. Dickson will open its season today at Carl Albert. Jennifer Mays-Krimmer said the aforementioned challenges in Southern Oklahoma are beneficial. “I think it’s actually a really positive thing,” Mays-Krimmer, the girls cross-country coach, said. “It’s less of a challenge and more of a goal. When really dominant programs are in the west, the east or the northern part

of the state, it doesn’t mean as much to us. “My girls, and coach (Bryce) Bell’s boys, they know these kids that are winning these state tournaments. This is more of a motivator for us.” Plainview’s girls won state for five consecutive years, from 2008-12. Plainview coach Jerry Naylor is nationally renowned. Before the Lady Indians’ half-decade of dominance, Madill’s girls program won three consecutive state championships. Plainview, meanwhile, won seven state championships in 2A, from 1999-2007. “We love the fact that they have these great programs because we want to get there and compete with them,” Mays-Krimmer said, which happens often because the schools compete in many of the same meets. Dickson gets its first opportunity against

Plainview on Sept. 6, when Ardmore High School hosts the Lake Country Conference meet. Dickson, however, has to build numbers in its program. The internal competition will elevate the Comets program. Mays-Krimmer said basketball players who don’t play softball will learn lessons of perseverance, toughness and competitiveness. “One of the things I want my kids to do is to compete every week all year long,” MaysKrimmer said. “I want them to learn what it’s like to be in those competitive atmospheres, and to win. It’s a winning mentality I want them to get. The only way that you do that is if you’re competitive all the time.”

Big inning propels Lady Eagles By Micah McVicker micah.mcvicker@ardmoreite.com

WILSON — Five two-out, run-scoring hits gave Wilson all the necessary offense on Thursday, as the Lady Eagles defeated Empire 11-3 in five innings. Wilson improved to 3-5. Coach Danny Way said the work his team has done the past couple of weeks started to bear fruit. “We spent lots of time in the cage hitting. They’re finally getting their hands through the zone,” Way said. “Just swinging the bats, mainly, is what we’ve been working with, and doing our job. We finally did it today. It worked out well.” The Lady Eagles seized a lead they would not relinquish in the bottom of the second stanza. Courtney Schiralli led off with an infield single and, Makayala Raines drew a walk. After a strikeout, lead-off hit-

ter Connar Battles bunted for a hit, and two runs scored due to a pair of errors. Wilson sent 11 hitters to the plate in the inning, and finished the frame with a 7-2 lead. Caycee Griffin and Jaide Way each delivered two-out RBI hits in the second inning. A lack of velocity on the offerings from Empire freshman pitcher Toni Kelly allowed his team plenty of time to make adjustments, Danny Way said. Kelly struggled with her command, and her defense did her few favors. In contrast, Schiralli — also a freshman — struck out four Empire hitters. Three of them went down looking. Way said Schiralli has a pretty good screwball that gets in on hitters’ hands. “Her changeup wasn’t working as well today as it has been,” Way said. “She’s usually got a pretty good changeup as well. “Her best pitch is her screwball. She was finding her spots a little bit. The catcher (Kassidy Morse, a junior) was making sure she was spotting the corners.”

Schiralli helped herself offensively, as her and senior Kendall Osteen each went 3 for 3. Osteen’s second RBI single of the game gave Wilson a 9-3 lead. In the fourth, Jaide Way scorched an offering off the pitcher’s leg for an RBI infield hit. Toni Kelly couldn’t field the ball, but she remained in the game. The next hitter, Schiralli, added the Lady Eagles’ fifth two-out run-scoring hit. The next half-inning, Schiralli notched her fourth K, allowed a walk, then induced a flyout to left fielder Caddidy Whagley, who tossed to Makayla Raines at second base for the game-ending double play. Danny Way said the team’s goal — a team with four freshmen in its batting order — is to make a run at districts. Way said starting pitcher Selina Whitener, a junior, has not been cleared to play after undergoing knee surgery last year. “She’s supposed to be back in the next couple of weeks,” Way said. “We’ll have an extra pitcher at that time.”

Lady Wolves improve to 11-0 No trap game here. In advance of its game against the Class 3A No. 7 Marlow Outlaws, Davis could’ve stumbled against Class A Roff. Granted, the Tigers are ranked No. 18. But Davis — itself ranked No. 10 in Class 3A — left no doubts about its focus, extending its unbeaten start: The Lady Wolves are now 11-0. Casady Webb had a hit for Davis, which managed four on the day. The senior catcher also paced the Lady Wolves with two RBIs. That was sufficient for Macie Buckaloo, who pitched 6 1/3 innings of three-hit ball. She struck out six hitters. Davis plays Marlow at home today at 5 p.m. Marlow 1, Lone Grove 0

The host Lady Outlaws dealt the Lady Horns their first loss since Aug. 15, defeating Lone Grove 1-0 on Thursday. Lone Grove (11-4) had its 10-game winning streak snapped. In a five-inning contest, the Lady Outlaws scored the game’s only run in the third frame. Madi Baughman pitched 4 1/3 innings for the Lady Horns. Baughman also had a hit for the Lady Horns, who managed three on the afternoon against

pitcher Gigi Wall. Lone Grove, No. 8 in Class 4A, committed one error. Marlow was flawless in its fielding chances. Marlow travels to Davis for a 5 p.m. first pitch in Murray County. Lone Grove’s next contest is at Tishomingo on Tuesday, with first pitch scheduled for 5 p.m. Healdton 4, Marietta 1

Healdton won its third consecutive game on Thursday, earning a home win against the Lady Indians. The Lady Bulldogs scored three times in the decisive second inning, scoring a pair of runs on an error. Landry Willis pitched for Marietta, and her throwing error allowed the third run to score. Healdton pitcher Mikaela Reuber struck out six, allowing a half-dozen hits and the lone earned run to notch the win. Ryleigh Harmon drove home the Lady Indians’ run, and Marietta (6-9) outhit Healdton 8-5, but Reuber stranded base runners. For the Lady Bulldogs, Hunter Tolliver delivered an RBI. She and Caycee Griffin each went 1 for 3, while Maddie Bradberry went 1 for 1 and scored a run.

Castro’s slam sends McHugh, Houston over Rangers HOUSTON (AP) — Jason Castro hit a grand slam, Collin McHugh threw seven solid innings and the Houston Astros beat the Texas Rangers 4-2 Thursday night. McHugh (7-9) earned his third straight win, allowing two runs and eight hits while striking out six. In his six August starts, McHugh gave up eight runs over 37 2-3 innings. Castro snapped an 0-for-20 slump with a single in the second. In the fifth, he wiped out Texas’ 2-0 lead. Jose Altuve singled in the Houston fifth and Chris Carter walked, finishing starter Nick Tepesch. Dexter Fowler reached on an infield single to set up Castro’s second career grand slam, a drive off Ramon Mendez (0-1). Josh Fields pitched the eighth and Tony Sipp worked the ninth for his second save. Leonys Martin scored on a double play in the Texas first, and Mike Carp drove in Robinson Chirinos with a sacrifice fly in the third. Martin, Chirinos and Elvis Andrus each had two hits for Texas. In a scary moment to end the fourth, Rangers right fielder Jim Adduci hit the back of his head on the dirt track and then the padding along the line after tracking down a foul ball and getting undercut by second baseman Rougned Odor. Adduci was removed as a precaution in the fifth for Daniel Robertson. TRAINER’S ROOM Rangers: OF Shin-Soo Choo will have surgery on Friday to remove a bone spur in his left elbow. He is expected to be able to return to baseball activities for workouts by Nov. 1. ... OF Alex Rios missed his second straight game with a swollen right thumb, but manager Ron Washington said he expects him to play on Friday. Astros: OF Robbie Grossman was out of the lineup after turning his left ankle on Wednesday night. Manager Bo Porter said he is listed as day to day. ... Reliever Darin Downs (strained muscle on his right side) is to start a rehabilitation assignment with Double-A Corpus Christi on Friday and is expected to pitch Sunday. UP NEXT The Rangers send RHP Scott Baker (2-3) to the mound Friday night for his second straight start in Houston. He is 2-0 with a 2.13 ERA in seven outings since the break. Houston will counter with LHP Brett Oberholtzer (4-9).

Hill surpasses Manziel’s mark in win COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Kenny Hill looked more than ready to replace Johnny Manziel on the field. He is still getting used to the attention that goes along with the job. Hill broke Manziel’s single-game passing record with 511 yards and No. 21 Texas A&M beat No. 9 South Carolina 52-28 on Thursday night, ending the Gamecocks’ 18-game home win streak. Hill looked poised and confident in his first start, leading the Aggies (1-0, 1-0 Southeastern Conference) to the most total and passing yards against South Carolina. The sophomore completed 44 of 60 passes with three touchdowns. The hardest part of his night came after the celebration on the field. “I just wanted to get the first press conference over with,” said Hill, who hadn’t spoken with reporters before. “I get nervous up here.” That’s a far cry from Manziel, a lightning-rod personality quick to speak his mind and gesture to crowds and opponents.

the Heisman Trophy in his freshman year, and one of the Aggies’ biggest worries was if they could find the same rhythm with a different leader. Hill made it clear they could. “We aren’t a one-trick pony,” Aggies coach Kevin Sumlin said. But Hill would like a different nickname: “I don’t really like ‘Kenny Football.’” Hill helped Texas A&M to a 31-14 halftime lead and finished up with the

most passing yards allowed in Steve Spurrier’s 10 seasons with the Gamecocks (0-1, 0-1). “I think we all had a chip on our shoulders,” Texas A&M defensive lineman Julien Obioha said. The Aggies piled up 680 yards of offense, the most South Carolina’s given up since Arkansas went for 650 in 2007. Manziel held five of the Aggies’ six best single-game passing marks, topped by his 464 yards in a loss to Alabama last

season. Hill moved past them all with his flawless showing on the road. “That team was so much better than us, it wasn’t funny,” said Spurrier, trying for his 200th victory as an SEC coach. “They outcoached us, out-played us, they were better prepared and they knew what they were doing.” Hill’s 44 completions were also a single-game school record, moving past Jerrod Johnson’s mark against Oklahoma State in 2010.

No. 18 Ole Miss pulls away from BSU ATLANTA (AP) — Bo Wallace threw four touchdowns passes in a sloppy season opener, and No. 18 Mississippi pulled away in the fourth quarter to beat Boise State 35-13 on Thursday night. Shaking off Wallace’s three first-half interceptions, the Rebels (1-0) got the victory before a sparse crowd in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game. But it was hardly the sort of convincing performance they were hoping for entering the season with their highest ranking since 2009. Ole Miss led only 7-6 entering the fourth quarter be-

fore finishing off Boise State (0-1) when Wallace threw for TDs on three consecutive throws, ruining the debut of new Broncos coach Bryan Harsin. Cody Core hauled in a pair of TDs: a 30-yarder in the final minute of the first quarter, then a 76-yarder midway through the fourth after grabbing a short pass on a slant route and breaking free down the middle of the field. Boise State is coming off its worst season since 1998 Boise State quarterback Grant Hedrick looks for (8-5) and seems to have lost a receiver down field during a college football its BCS-busting swagger. game in Atlanta on Thursday. the ASSOCIATED PRESS

Bull riding

Several Oklahoma cowboys to ride at Winstar By Scott Joiner scott.joiner@ardmoreite.com

An outdoor arena arose along Interstate 35 this week — one that will host the Professional Bull Riders today and Saturday at Winstar World Casino. “It’s one of our outdoor events,” Ryan Dirteater said. “It’s pretty neat. They have it set up pretty cool. The fans like it. It’s a little hot, but they’re still there. We have dedicated fans that love bull riding.” Dirteater is one of several Oklahoma natives who will ride against elite bulls. The Hulbert native finished sixth at the PBR finals last year. “I grew up in Northeast Oklahoma and been riding professional for seven years now,” Dirteater said. “I’m just a smalltown country kid, living a dream. I’ve been through a lot, throughout my career with a lot of ups and downs. I’ve been injured probably three years out of the seven. Bull riding is tough, it’s a tough field to work in. Injuries happen, you never know when.” The top 35 bull riders in the world compete in PBR at locations across the globe. Five former world champions will ride at Winstar along with Oklahoma natives Dirteater, L.J. Jenkins and rookies Gage Gay and Brady Sims. The cowboys will have one ride on

Friday and another on Saturday. At the end of the second round, the top 15 will move to the finals and compete for the $30,000 prize. In 2011, Thackerville became the first outdoor venue to host the PBR since 2005. Dirteater is doing well this season heading into the World Finals in Las Vegas starting Oct. 22. “Now I’m in the top 25 and need to climb up a little higher than that,” Dirteater said. He’s competed in Ardmore a few times before qualifying as a professional, and has been to Thackerville several times with PBR. “It’s the best bulls in the world and the top 35 bull riders,” Dirteater said. “Our show is really great. They breed the bulls and if they’re not careful, they’re going to start doing back flips on us.” Dirteater said the only thing that crosses his mind before the shoot opens is, “don’t Ryan Dirteater hangs on during a ride earlier this season. He is one of the 35 cowlet go.” PBR breeds the bulls and even puts boys competing in the Professional Bull Riders event at Winstar starting today. them in water for exercise, similar to re- professional bull riders one, they’re solid.

College Football Playoff era has finally begun

Oklahoma coach Stoops takes nothing for granted

A new era in college football is here. After years of deriding the BCS, fans will finally get what they — well, most of them — wanted with the new College Football Playoff. It’s new, it’s exciting and, as was the case with the old system, will probably cause plenty of complaining since only four teams get a chance to play for the title. It all starts with a handful of games this week before the full rollout on Saturday. To get you ready, we’ve got some of the top teams, players and games to keep an eye on as the season hurtles toward the Final Four in January. PLAYOFF BASICS So how will the new playoff system work? We’ve got a quick rundown: —Four teams get into the playoff, with the winners of the semifinals playing in the title game. —A 13-member selection committee will pick teams for the semifinals and selected other bowls. The committee will begin releasing rankings on Oct. 21 and end with the final matchups on Dec. 7. —The semifinals will rotate among six bowls: Rose, Cotton, Fiesta, Orange, Peach and Sugar. The Rose and Sugar bowls get the first two. —This year’s title game will be Jan. 12 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. TOP TEAMS Florida State. Defending national champion, reigning Heisman Trophy winner — might as well start there. Alabama. AJ McCarron may be gone, but the Tide is still strong. Oregon. The Pac-12 hasn’t won a national title since USC in 2004. The flying Ducks have a chance to change that. Oklahoma. The Sooners beat Alabama in the Sugar Bowl and have a menacing defense that returns most of its starters. Auburn. Tigers played in final BCS title game and are still stocked, with Heisman Trophy contender Nick Marshall back under center. TOP PLAYERS Jameis Winston, QB, Florida State. Won the Heisman and a national championship as a freshman. Can play a little. Marcus Mariota, QB, Oregon. A Heisman finalist, orchestrator of Oregon’s version of Duck Dynasty.

NORMAN (AP) — Those close to Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops say he’s one of the best because he takes nothing for granted. Stoops is the only coach to have won every BCS bowl game and a national title. He has coached two Heisman winners — Jason White and Sam Bradford. Last season, he passed Barry Switzer as Oklahoma’s winningest coach. He has a career record of 160-39 and closed last season with a stunning upset victory over Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. Those who work for him say he’s a meticulous planner, yet he gives them space. Those who play for him say he’s demanding, yet easy to talk to. The man who hired him, Oklahoma athletic director Joe Castiglione, said he respects the fact that Stoops doesn’t consider success a birthright. Even with a No. 4 preseason ranking, Stoops has constantly reminded folks that this team hasn’t accomplished anything yet. “He’s strong, but he also has some humility about him that I think is healthy, and is a good part of why he is consistently successful,” Castiglione told The Associated Press. His Sooners open the season Saturday at home against Louisiana Tech, and he is aware that there is plenty of work ahead if his lofty expectations — and those of the fans — are to be met. “At the end of the day, it gets down to your pride,” he said. “Every opportunity, you have a chance to win or lose. Guys understand that we don’t usually show and not get someone’s best shot. We’ve always got to be ready for that and it’s been that way for 16 years. Maybe it wasn’t that way in ‘99 (when he was hired), but it was after that. It’s no different. It’s a challenge every week.” Stoops has dealt with controversy, too — especially this year. Running back Joe Mixon was suspended for a year after police say he punched a young woman at a restaurant. The school is trying to suspend linebacker Frank Shannon for a year because it says he violated the school’s rules against sexual assault. Recently, Dorial Green-Beckham was denied a waiver for immediate eligibility after being kicked off Missouri’s team following numerous off-the-field issues. Stoops said he feels Oklahoma deals with such situations fairly on a consistent basis, and doesn’t believe they should cloud Oklahoma’s image. “I’ve been here 16 years,” he said on Oklahoma’s media day. “There’s a long track record of what we’ve done here. Reflect on that.” Stoops came to Oklahoma in the shadow of the legendary Barry Switzer and won a national title in his second year. Though his success has drawn attention from suitors over the years, Stoops has stayed in Norman and become the nation’s third-longest tenured BCS coach, behind Virginia Tech’s Frank Beamer and Troy’s Larry Blakeney. “That’s one of the things that stood out about OU — the solidity of it,” Oklahoma quarterback Trevor Knight said. “How he’s going to be here. I think it’s just the way he runs the program, the leader he is — that trickles downhill to the rest of the coaching staff, and even to us — just the way he approaches each and every day and the way he manages his life.” There’s more to it than just having elite athletes and knowing the game, though. Defensive tackle Chuka Ndulue said Stoops knows how to reach people. “He’s a great coach,” Ndulue said. “He knows how to talk football. I always say he could teach my mother what a safety has to do in certain fronts. Being able to just communicate with your players, getting the best out of them, just because he’s been doing it for so long — I can’t even explain it.” Defensive coordinator Mike Stoops, Bob’s brother, praises Bob’s confidence in his assistants. Jerry Schmidt, the school’s director of sports enhancement, says he’s successful because of the power Stoops gives him. Second-year offensive line coach Bill Bedenbaugh said Stoops understands the importance of life beyond football, something that hasn’t always been the case from his previous bosses. “He’s a family guy,” Bedenbaugh said. “The hours that you put in, you want to spend time with your family. He allows you — he expects you — to do that. That’s the different thing about him. I haven’t been around many guys that are like that in letting you have time with your family. That’s an important part — a big reason my wife loves it here too.”

Florida State players and coaches run onto the field before a game against Oklahoma in Norman, Okla. A new era in college football is here. After years of deriding the BCS, fans will finally get what they wanted with the new College Football Playoff. The top-ranked Seminoles open the season on Saturday against Oklahoma State in Arlington, Texas. The associated press

Bryce Petty, QB, Baylor. Bears set an NCAA scoring record last season. Might top it this season with Petty back. Myles Jack, LB/RB, UCLA. Taking the twoway thing to a whole new level. Nick Marshall, QB, Auburn. He won’t start the opener after being cited for marijuana possession. Once he gets rolling, watch out. BEST GAMES Michigan State at Oregon, Sept. 6. Best nonconference game of the season comes early, between two teams that could be in the hunt for coveted playoff spots. Michigan at Notre Dame, Sept. 6. Could be the last one between these rivals until at least 2020. Should be a good one either way. Stanford at Oregon, Nov. 1. A matchup that rarely fails to disappoint, though the Cardinal have won the past two. Baylor at Oklahoma, Nov. 8. Video-game offense against aggressive defense should be a fun battle of wills. Auburn at Alabama, Nov. 29. Not much chance of topping Auburn’s finalplay, 109-yard missed field goal return for a touchdown last season, but the Iron Bowl rarely disappoints. NUMBERS 18-5 — Odds for Florida State to win the national championship, according

to vegasinsider.com. Alabama is next best at 6-1. 8 — SEC teams ranked in the AP preseason poll, matching its own record for most teams from one conference, set in 2011. 52.4 — Points per game by Baylor last season, an NCAA record. 720 — Combined weight of Damien Mama (370) and Zach Banner (350), the projected starters on the right side of Southern Cal’s offensive line. 1,690 — Rushing yards last season by Nebraska’s Ameer Abdullah, the FBS’ leading returning rusher. 4,662 — Passing yards by Oregon State’s Sean Mannion, the leading returning passer in FBS. NEW FACES Several big-time programs will have new coaches at the helm. Here are a few: Charlie Strong, Texas. After four years of mediocrity under Mack Brown, the Longhorns are hoping to make a Strong push under their new leader. Steve Sarkisian, USC. Sark made the jump from one Pac-12 school (Washington) to another. USC fans hope he can right the Trojans’ horse after four chaotic years under Lane Kiffin. Chris Petersen, Washington. Petersen turned down numerous opportunities to leave Boise State before bolting to Washington. He had success with the Broncos and now hopes to keep the Huskies

rolling in the tough Pac-12 North. Bobby Petrino, Louisville. Petrino is back at Louisville after making the most of his second chance — remember the motorcycle accident with his mistress? — at Western Kentucky. James Franklin, Penn State. Bill O’Brien helped get the Nittany Lions back on track after the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal. Franklin, the former Vanderbilt coach, will be charged with leading them back into prominence. THE REPLACEMENTS Several teams will be counting on new players in key positions. A few of the prominent ones: J.T. Barrett, Ohio State. Replacing a Heisman Trophy favorite (Braxton Miller) is daunting enough, more so when you’ve never taken a college snap. South Carolina, Darius English. The sophomore gets to fill the shoes of the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft, Jadeveon Clowney. Texas A&M, Kenny Hill. Takes over the reins from Johnny Football. Alabama, (quarterback). Jacob Coker and Blake Sims are listed as the costarters at QB. Whoever it is will have a lot to live up to after AJ McCarron led the Tide to consecutive national championships.
