Spare the rod, spoil the child

SHAWNEE

Shots ﬁred Police investigate incident outside Shawnee bar By Kim Morava Kimberly.morava@news-star. com

JASON SMITH william.smith@news-star.com

he title of this column harkens back to that age-old disciplinary tool of whipping a kid when he or she did something wrong. I’ve seen parents use the “timeout” method of discipline, and I’ve even seen parents beg, barter with and flat out bribe a child in the hopes that the behavior would improve. My folks had a graduated scale for dealing with my wrongdoings. If my crime warranted a stern speech, that’s what I got. If my crime warranted that I be grounded for a week, that’s what I got. But if my crime warranted a hot fanny… well… that’s what I got. It usually amounted to a couple of swift open-palm whacks to the backside, which was plenty for getting my attention, but I remember one time in particular when Dad drove the message home a little more fiercely. On a particularly sunny summer day, he caught me and some of my neighborhood friends standing in the road playing traffic cop… with real cars. Needless to say, he was less than amused. He promptly carted me into the house and promptly found his weapon of choice — my paddle ball. With a quick tug, the ball and elastic string were detached, and all that was left was the ideal spanking tool. So not only did I get my swats, but I lost a favorite toy in the process. And to this day I get goose bumps when I see a paddle ball. My uncle told me a story that still confuses me. I’ll never understand why anyone would willingly carry out this plan. Apparently he decided it would be fun to hide anything and everything my grandmother could use for spanking him, and then deliberately do something that would bring down her thunder and lightning. His jollies came from watching her frantically search the house for a whoopin’ stick, but he grossly miscalculated how off-the-charts her rage would go during this process. Obviously, he never duplicated that little stunt. Note: Just to clear the air, I don’t want this to be interpreted as me having come from an abusive family. Nothing could be further from the truth. But I do come from a family that demands respect from its children, and because the rod was not spared, not one of us was spoiled.

Shawnee police continue to investigate a shots-fired incident after a security guard discharged a weapon at a vehicle during an incident in the parking lot of Dietrich’s Bar. A filed police report indi-

cates a security guard shot at a vehicle that was accelerating toward another security guard after the occupants were asked to leave the bar, which resulted in a passenger being hit by gunfire. The driver of the vehicle fled, but a person showed up at a hospital emergency

As police sorted out the scene, they learned there had been a fight inside the bar and a security guard was trying to get two individuals in a Lexus to leave when the driver allegedly yelled at another security guard and accelerated the Lexus toward that guard in an attempt to hit him, the

report shows. At that point, the other security guard fired at the Lexus four or five times until the vehicle stopped, the report reads. The passenger, later identified as Joseph M. Davis, 35, of Seminole, got SHOTS, Page 5A

Cave-in on Country Club road The details: • Cul-de-sac off Highland that runs under Country Club road fills up when it rains, causing moisture to soak into cracks. • Cracks in the culvert over time creates a void, resulting in a cave-in. • The city plans on replacing the whole section where the cave-in occurred. • The city plans on replacing one side of the street at a time in order for residents to have access to the road. • Construction is planned to start at the beginning of next week after parts are ordered. • The project is expected to take around three to four weeks.

The cul-de-sac off Highland that runs under Country Club road collapsed recently and will be replaced beginning next week. ED BLOCHOWIAK STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

EAST CENTRAL WORKFORCE

Workers clean debris, help ﬁx ﬂooding caused by tornado By Jessica Walker jessica.walker@news-star.com

The city of Shawnee recently received a federal grant, which provides workers from East Central Workforce to help in relief efforts from the May 19 tornado.

“The workers from East Central Workforce have been doing an excellent job in cleaning out the creek areas they’ve been assigned,” said City Engineer John Krywicki. Krywicki said the creek in the Larkins Meadow

area has been cleared but the area of overgrown grass and weeds is on private property and is the responsibility of the property owner. The workers from East Central Workforce are helping to clear out debris

Largest NM county gives same-sex licenses TAOS, N.M. (AP) — Dozens of gay couples gathered at a plaza in New Mexico’s biggest city Tuesday to hear the words many once thought they would never hear: “With the power finally vested in me by the state of New Mexico, I now pronounce you married.” The ceremony came just a few hours after the county clerk opened her door to a line of more than 100 people waiting to get same-sex marriage licenses following an Albuquerque judge’s declaration Monday that gay marriage was legal. Two other counties began issuing marriage licenses to gay couples last week, and three more said they planned to do the same. Russell Garcia and Chayne Avery were among the couples who tied the knot in Albuquerque. They said it was the culmination of a long journey since they met in college 20 years ago — when there were hardly any gay characters on television, let alone the prospect that they could someday marry. “Never thought I’d experience this,” said an emotional Garcia, 40, after the ceremony. The ruling by state district Judge Alan Malott came on the heels of a similar decision in Santa Fe and the decision by the county clerk in the southern New Mexico county of Dona Ana

week to recognize samesex couples. That means residents in the state’s three largest counties can easily get same-sex marriage licenses locally. Gay couples can now get married in about a dozen states after a series of court fights, ballot measures and legislative decisions provided new momentum to the movement in recent years. New Mexico’s law has long been unclear, but the floodgates were opened last week when the Dona Ana County clerk began issuing marriage licenses and a judge in Santa Fe ordered the county clerk there to do so. And Republican Gov. Susana Martinez and Democratic Attorney General Gary King indicated they planned to do nothing to try to halt the practice Still, a group of Republican legislators is planning to file a lawsuit to stop clerks from issuing licenses to same-sex couples. One of those lawmakers, Sen. William Sharer of Farmington, said it is up to the state Legislature, with the consent of the governor, to make laws — not the county clerks or district judges. “It is inexplicable how a district court just today discovered a new definition of marriage in our laws, when our marriage law has not been changed in over a century,” Sharer said.

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A former Billings Senior High School teacher who pleaded guilty to raping a 14-year-old student who later killed herself has been sentenced to 30 days in jail by a judge who said the victim was “older than her chronological age” and “as much in control of the situation” as the teacher. District Judge G. Todd Baugh sentenced Stacey Dean Rambold to 15 years in prison for sexual intercourse without consent, with all but 31 days suspended. He gave Rambold credit for one day already served, The Billings Gazette reported. The girl’s mother repeatedly screamed, “You people

Weather History So much cool air moved southward on Aug. 28, 1944, that Raleigh, N.C., had a high of only 68 degrees, which is its lowest maximum temperature ever in August.

suck!” and stormed out of the courtroom Monday. Rambold, now 54, was charged in October 2008 with three counts of sexual intercourse without consent alleging that he had an ongoing sexual relationship with Cherice Morales, starting the previous year when she was 14. Morales took her own life in February 2010 while the case was pending. In July 2010, Rambold entered a three-year deferred prosecution agreement with prosecutors that said the charges would be dismissed if Rambold completed a sex offender treatment program and met other conditions, including having no contact with

“Not yet,” said Union County Clerk Mary Lou Harkin. “We’ve had a couple calls ... but I am going to hold off for now, until I get a court order or other direction.” But more court orders could be in the works as a number of clerks around the state said they had received calls from a man saying he planned to show up and seek a same-sex license and would file a lawsuit if denied. Malott’s ruling was seen as more sweeping than the temporary Santa Fe order because he directly declared gay marriage was legal. The clerks in San Miguel, Valencia and Taos counties said Tuesday they would begin issuing the licenses as well. But Assistant Attorney General Scott Fuqua said the decision wasn’t binding on clerks outside Bernalillo and Santa Fe counties. Helen Taylor, 45 and Apryl Harris, 47, of Rio Rancho, didn’t want to wait until the battle was played out in state courts. The emotional couple was among the first to receive marriage licenses in Bernalillo County Tuesday. They had originally planned to get married in New York in February. “It was better to do it here,” Harris said. “This is our home.”

having unsupervised visits with minors, who were family members, and did not inform counselors that he had been having sexual relations with a woman. Defense attorney Jay Lansing said Rambold has since continued his treatment with a different program and an evaluation found him at low risk to re-offend. Baugh said he was not convinced that the reasons for Rambold’s termination from treatment were serious enough to warrant the 10-year prison term prosecutors recommended.

Paul Becht, the Albuquerque lawyer for the GOP legislators, said it’s uncertain when and where their lawsuit will be filed. With more counties starting to issue licenses, Becht said, he’s trying to determine where best to file a lawsuit “so we’re not getting scattered results all over the place.” Bernalillo County Clerk Maggie Toulouse Oliver said she was happy the judge ordered her to issue the licenses. She said she had long wanted to but felt her hands were tied. Oliver estimated that the county would give out around 100 same-sex marriage licenses by end of Tuesday. Patricia Catlett and her partner of 25 years, Karen Schmiege, were the first to get their license there. Catlett, 61, is a graphic designer from Albuquerque, and Schmiege, 69, is a retired librarian. “I am so excited, I can’t stand it,” Schmiege said as they signed their papers. As the couple walked out of the booth where they received their license, the crowd applauded and cheered. The two raised their hands, and the crowd responded by putting their fists in the air. Despite the actions by New Mexico’s bigger counties in the past week, most clerks in the state’s rural counties said they were not changing their policies.

DIVIDED ATTENTION If you are thinking about splitting pills to save on prescription drug costs, be sure to ask the pharmacist whether your medication can be split safely. This is important because some medications (particularly those used to treat heart problems and epilepsy) can be delivered in dangerously inadequate doses if the pills are split unevenly. There are also types of pills that should not be split, such as extended-release pills that deliver medication over time and combination tablets that include more than one drug. Also on the no-split list are pills that are coated to protect the stomach and pills that crumble easily or are irregularly shaped. Finally, never split pills that are difﬁcult to swallow due to bitter taste. As an independent pharmacy, our goal is to provide our customers with the best possible advice. Here at HARRISON DISCOUNT PHARMACY, 1442 No. Harrison St., (405) 275-6169, you’ll feel conﬁdent in our ability to meet all of your family’s expectations and needs.

The department’s spring dance performance, The Beat of the Drum, will be presented March 7-8, 2014. The Beat of the Drum celebrates the relationship between drums and dancing and will feature choreography in a variety of styles married with a pulsing beat.

BIBLE VERSE But he, [being] full of compassion, forgave [their] iniquity, and destroyed [them] not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath. For he remembered that they [were but] ﬂesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again. How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, [and] grieve him in the desert! Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel. Psalms 78:38-41

Look out: A fall harvest of new broadcast TV shows NEW YORK (AP) — There’s something antiquated about the custom long known as the Fall TV Season. It was born of a bygone era (and still harkens back to it) when fall signaled all things important in America: the much-anticipated return to school, the resumption of football and the grand unveiling of next year’s car models. It was an era of the Big Three. And not just General Motors, Ford and Chrysler, but also ABC, CBS and NBC, which each autumn launched their new shows with the stated intention of airing these dramas and comedies through much of the season to come. This was an orderly, narrowly consigned TV world. So the Fall Season represented for viewers most of what they could expect to see in prime time for months ahead, at least until the “summer replacement” shows arrived the following June. “Midseason” (a term even Fox boss Kevin Reilly said recently he’d love to ban) wasn’t part of the lingo back then. Nor, of course, were terms like “cable networks,” HBO, Hulu or Netflix. A half-century later, the Fall Season persists — a festival of premieres by not three, but the five self-designated broadcast “majors” (which somehow includes the little-watched CW), with, some years, no discernible dividing line between the fall crop and the winter harvest. And no acknowledgment that outside this magic garden, bumper crops of other network shows are always blooming, stealing viewers

(and a large share of Emmy love). With all those caveats in mind, then, make way for the Fall Season. DON’T I KNOW YOU? Many of more than two dozen new series may already be familiar, at least by name, to viewers, since the networks have been flogging them all summer. They are familiar to TV critics, too, who got early copies of many of the new shows as long ago as June (with the proviso from the networks that some of these episodes were “nonreviewable,” since they were subject to be altered in small or large ways before their premiere date — or even re-shot completely). At some point before each show’s premiere date, a version designated “reviewable” will be furnished to critics. This doesn’t necessarily help. For a critic to make a sweeping assessment of any TV series’ potential on the basis of a lone episode, or even two or three, is as reasonable as writing a tellall biography of someone after meeting at a speeddating event. So there’s a possibility that CBS’ “The Crazy Ones” will ultimately reveal itself to be hilarious, and not one of the lamest new comedies on the schedule (as an initial viewing might suggest). A comedy set at an advertising agency, it brings back Robin Williams to TV sitcoms after “Mork & Mindy” 35 years ago (which TV’s mostsought-after viewers, as well as many present-day network execs, aren’t old enough to remember).

“The Crazy Ones” isn’t really a comedy. It’s a mystery: Who thought it, and bringing back Williams as its star, was a good idea? NBC (whose motto could be borrowed from a cable network hit, “The Walking Dead”) has brought back another sitcom veteran with what seems like happier results: Michael J. Fox in a self-named comedy. Addressing the real-life health problems (and triumphs) of this breakout star of “Family Ties” in the 1980s, “The Michael J. Fox Show” strikes a fresh, funny tone amid the flood of new comedies. NBC has further relied on its once-stellar past by reviving the successful cop show “Ironside,” this time with Blair Underwood, not Raymond Burr, as the intrepid detective in the wheelchair. FANTASTIC? Fantasy is fueling many new shows. NBC’s “Dracula” stars Jonathan Rhys Meyers in a reimagining of the vampire as a proto-environmentalist. In his guise as a 19thCentury American industrialist, Dracula wants to develop cheap, alternative energy in defiance of his enemy, Big Oil. There’s also Fox’s setin-modern-day “Sleepy Hollow” (complete with a headless horseman), ABC’s very cool, comicdriven “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” and ABC’s storybook spinoff, “Once Upon a Time in Wonderland,” which explores the psyche of tumbled-downthe-rabbit-hole Alice, complete with CGI rabbit voiced by John Lithgow. CW’s “The Originals” is a spinoff of “The Vampire

Diaries,” while the same network’s “The Tomorrow People” is a sci-fi series about a genetically advanced race that also happens to be young and sexy, and the paramilitary group of scientists who see this band as a threat to the status quo. And Fox’s “Almost Human” is a police drama set 35 years in the future, when human officers work alongside humanlike androids. From HBO’s “Game of Thrones” to PBS’ “Downton Abbey,” historical costume drama is big on TV. Youth-skewing CW is jumping on that trend with “Reign,” which focuses on Mary Stuart, who, better known as Mary, Queen of Scots, had been queen of Scotland since she was six days old, but, as the series begins, is a verrrry attractive teen (with babalicious ladies-in-waiting). GETTING REAL Another costume drama, of a sort: ABC’s very funny comedy “The Goldbergs,” which revisits the childhood of creator Adam Goldberg in the distant, “simpler” time of the 1980s. Rare on the lineup is a straight-ahead, humanist comedy-drama. This fall there’s only one: ABC’s “Lucky 7,” a potentially charming and engaging series about a group of New Yorkers who share a winning lottery ticket, and the effects of that windfall on their lives. ABC’s promisingly titled “Betrayal” is a soap that involves a murder, a marital affair, and a powerful family at war with itself. CBS’ “Hostages” puts Toni Collette in the middle of a political conspiracy:

She plays a surgeon ordered to assassinate her patient, the ailing President of the United States, to save her family held captive. Possibly the season’s most surefire hit is NBC’s “The Blacklist,” which stars James Spader as one of the FBI’s most wanted fugitives who surrenders to the FBI with a mysterious offer: to help them catch the terrorists he used to enable. THEY CAN GO HOME AGAIN Moving back home is an all-too-common trope in several new comedies. ABC’s “Back in the Game” finds sexy Maggie Lawson as a former all-star softball player who, postmarriage, returns with her son to move in with her irascible father, himself a washed-up baseball player (played by James Caan). “Family Guy” mastermind Seth MacFarlane’s live-action Fox comedy “Dads” focuses on two best friends and business partners whose fathers move back in. Its raunchy humor has already ruffled critics’ feathers (and elicited a promise from the show’s creators to give it the necessary tweaks), but its problems are more fundamental: It isn’t funny. On CBS’ grim-in-spiteof-itself “Mom,” newly sober single mom Christy is suddenly inflicted with the return of her formerly estranged mom (Allison Janney), who, to say the least, didn’t serve as much of a parental example: “While other mothers were cooking dinner,” Christy reminds her, “you were cooking meth.” On NBC’s “Sean Saves the World,” Sean Hayes

plays a divorced dad with an overbearing mom (played by Linda Lavin) and a weekends-only 14year-old daughter who moves in with him fulltime, complicating his life. On CBS’ “The Millers,” Will Arnett stars as a recently divorced local TV news reporter whose outspoken mother moves in with him while his dad moves in with his sister. But broken marriages are always ripe for laughs. On CBS’ promising “We Are Men,” three divorced men bond and offer dating advice to a young pal who was left at the altar by his betrothed. On the comedy “Trophy Wife,” Pete (played by Bradley Whitford) has two broken marriages behind him when he lucks upon lovely Kate (Malin Akerman), who, on becoming Pete’s third bride, suddenly finds herself in a sort-of blended family with three stepchildren and two exwives — a big cast and complicated dynamics that surely have ABC dreaming may qualify this show as a hit akin to “Modern Family.” A strong contender for silliest new show — which means it might be first to go, or, on the other hand, run for years — is “Enlisted.” It’s a military comedy set in the not-so-funny modern age of war, with three brothers stationed on a small base in Florida. If there’s an issue of taste (are wars still being fought suitable for comedy?), this sitcom somewhat navigates it. Whether “Enlisted” is actually funny is another matter entirely.

SHOTS

The incident occurred about 1:49 a.m. Saturday. At about 2:28 a.m. Saturday, officials with the hospital in Seminole reported they had a gunshot victim in their emergency room seeking treatment, so police responded there. The report shows they talked to Davis’ girlfriend who told officers she heard the gunshots; she and her friends drove Davis to the emergency room. Police also spoke with Davis at the hospital, who told officers he and the driver got into a fight with someone at the club. Davis

also told officers that as they tried to leave, a security guard came out and yelled at them before the shots were fired, according to the report.

Davis reported he got out of the car when he realized he was hit, and that’s when the driver fled and he got into a car with his girlfriend and went to the

Seminole ER. From the report, it appears the bullet entered his left bicep and split before exiting in two places. The case was turned over

to detectives for further investigation and will likely be turned over to the district attorney’s office for further review. Watch for any updates.

out of the vehicle and was holding his arm, according to reports. The security guard tried to stop the driver of the Lexus from driving off, the report shows, by using mace and firing one more round, but the driver of the vehicle left going northbound on Kickapoo Street. Police at the scene found six bullet casings and took possession of the security guard’s .40-caliber firearm.

Make students safer; give them sidewalks

Area highway contract is approved; March of Dimes luncheon is today

Governor

Dear Editor, What a blessing to live where people are friendly and helpful. God’s blessings often go un-noticed, without us realizing we’ve been blessed. Several local physicians, receptionists and nurses have recently been such a blessing in dealing with my husband’s illness; one doctor told me about a new resident memory care facility in Shawnee. In trying to find bed sheets to fit a hospital bed mattress, the local hospital’s manager of environmental services was so helpful in giving me telephone numbers of local health care businesses that had those linens. The manager of a quick car tune and lube business was another blessing as he quickly calmed my nerves by solving the problem causing my car to show a red light regarding the engine. In the afternoon, what a shock to find my husband’s partial plate had fallen from his hand, to the floor, when he fell asleep. They landed right in front of our big lovable dog asleep at my husband’s feet. The dog thought: “Wow, a bone!” Results: Four splintered pieces! What a blessing when a Tecumseh Denturist solved the problem in an hour! This blessing allowed my husband to eat the fish dinner he was wanting! Now, I want another blessing! But not for me! I want a big blessing for some school children. I’ve seen students walk in ditches with waist high grass on both sides of Union Street; plus, they walk in mud when it rains, as it did recently. Cars are lined up, going north and south beside them. This is very dangerous! These children were wearing nice new clothes and shoes, while buses, cars and sidewalks were taking students away on the north end. Give these children a big blessing of safety with sidewalks on the south. Did it take this 76-year old great grandmother to see the need to make others aware before a tragedy occurs? Shawnee, our children need this blessing! God bless, Correna Wilson Pickens Shawnee

Favorable news not likely to be reported Dear Editor, August 28, 2013 will mark the 50th anniversary of the Dr. Martin Luther King—Civil Rights march on Washington, D.C. Dr. King was well aware that in 1863 President Lincoln issued his Emancipation Proclamation to declare the end of slavery. For Dr. King, the march was to come before the nation a peoples’ grievances nonviolently. Now referred to as the “I have a dream” speech is reputed as one of this nation’s most revered ever. Dr. King’s speech is regularly quoted by persons throughout the world who aspire to be free. For those who have never read this speech in its entirety are encouraged to do so. Dr. King’s messages reminded America that the nation, in its infancy, made a pact with Almighty God Himself to ensure freedom, liberty, justice, opportunity and self-determine for all not a select few. That denying these God given rights to any person is a violation of that covenant with the Almighty. He reported to America that it had issued bad checks to many of its people through its illicit laws, policies, attitudes and that the downtrodden were present in Washington to collect on that promissory note. Dr. King also appealed for racial amelioration whereby all people would be judged by the content of their characters not the color of their skin as well as any other socially artificial attributes. His dream was for all to afford each other dignity and respect as well as forgiveness for past and recent past injustice and to begin anew. Throughout Dr. King’s life, ministry and service, he advocated individual responsibility, self-reliance as well as minimal government intrusion and centralize authority. Only when a person’s God given rights were intruded upon was government to come forward to protect their rights. I dare say that on this momentous day the mainstream media outlets will pontificate that little has come forward since Dr. King. They will not report that since 1970 through 2010 that the number of African-Americans elected to office at all levels has gone from 715 to more than 5,456; earned college degrees from 6 percent in 1980 to 29 percent in 2011; millionaires from barely 2 percent to more than 8 percent in 2011 or any other progress. Although advancements needs to continue, nothing favorable will not likely be reported. Dr. King had a dream. They have a nefarious scheme. Stephen A. Peterson Shawnee

While most season bag limits remain unchanged from last year, notable changes that were approved this year by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service include a daily limit increase on teal from four to six, on canvasbacks from one to two, on Canada geese from three to eight and on light geese (snow, blue and Ross’) from 20 to 50. These changes are aimed at managing these bird species through protecting their habitats from overuse while providing more opportunity to hunters. There also was an adjustment in the daily limit of scaup from six to three. Josh Richardson, migratory game bird biologist, said for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, the increases in daily harvest limits do not necessarily mean most hunters will significantly increase their harvests. “These changes could benefit hunters who happen to find themselves in a lot of birds on a good day of hunting or in an area that birds use heavily,” Richardson said. “Another group that will benefit includes those hunters who would likely spend more time hunting these species but couldn’t justify the time and effort it may have required in previous years just to try to harvest four teal or three Canada geese. Now they might have more incentive to go, harvest some birds and help manage the populations.” Every year the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service proposes frameworks to states for structuring their waterfowl seasons, and Wildlife Department officials briefed members of the Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission on the changes at their August meeting. In the Panhandle counties this year, duck season will run from Oct. 12 through Jan. 8, with youth waterfowl hunting days set for Oct. 5-6. In Zone 1, which includes most

of northwest Oklahoma excluding the Panhandle, duck season will run from Oct. 26 through Dec. 1 and Dec. 14 through Jan. 19. Youth waterfowl days in Zone 1 will be Oct. 12-13. Zone 2 duck season dates will be Nov. 2 through Dec. 1 and Dec. 14 through Jan. 26, with youth waterfowl days slated for Oct. 19-20. The daily limit of six ducks may include no more than: five mallards (only two may be hens), three wood ducks, three scaup, two redheads, two pintails and two canvasback. The season for Canada geese this year will be Nov. 2 through Dec. 1 and Dec. 14 through Feb. 16; for whitefronted geese, Nov. 2 through Dec. 1 and Dec. 14 through Feb. 9; for light geese including snow, blue and Ross’, Nov. 2 through Dec. 1 and Dec. 14 through Feb. 16. The sandhill crane season will Oct. 19 through Jan. 19, and the Conservation Order Light Goose Season will be Feb. 17 through March 30. For more information consult the “2013-14 Oklahoma Waterfowl Guide,” which will be available in midSeptember. ••• The fourth annual Kyle Lewis Memorial Golf Tourney is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 21, at the Elks Golf and Country Club. There will be two tee times for the tournament that day at 8:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., both with shotgun starts. The $85 per player includes lunch, green fee, cart, and refreshments. The format is a four person scramble. ••• Dane Pollei, the director of the Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art, reminds people the museum is offering free admission through Sept. 1.

TECHNOLOGY

Exploring Google Glass through eyes of early users SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Geeks aren’t the only people wearing Google Glass. Among the people testing Google Inc.’s wearable computer are teachers, dentists, doctors, radio disc jockeys, hair stylists, architects, athletes and even a zookeeper. Some 10,000 people are trying out an early version of Glass, most of them selected as part of a contest. To get a sense of the advantages and drawbacks of the device, The Associated Press spoke to three Glass owners who have been using the device since late spring: Sarah Hill, a former TV broadcaster and current military veterans advocate; David Levy, a hiking enthusiast and small business owner; and Deborah Lee, a stay-athome mom. Glass is designed to work like a smartphone that’s worn like a pair of glasses. Although it looks like a prop from a science fiction movie, the device is capturing imaginations beyond the realm of nerds. The trio’s favorite feature, by far, is the handsfree camera that shoots photos and video through voice commands. (Images can also be captured by pressing a small button along the top of the right frame of Glass.) They also liked being able to connect to the Internet simply by tapping on the right frame of Glass to turn it on and then swiping along the same side to scroll through a menu. That menu allows them to do such things as get directions on Google’s map or find a piece of information through Google’s search engine. The information is shown on a thumbnailsized transparent screen attached just above the right eye to stay out of a user’s field of vision. Among the biggest shortcomings they cited was Glass’ short battery life, especially if a lot of video is being taken. Although Google says Glass should last for an entire day on a single battery charge for the typical user, Hill said there were times when she ran out of

power after 90 minutes to two hours during periods when she was recording a lot of video. Glass’ speaker, which relies on a bone conduction technology, also is inadequate, according to the testers the AP interviewed. They said the speaker, which transmits sound through the skull to allow for ambient noise, can be difficult to hear in any environment other than a quiet room. “If you are out in the street or anywhere else where there is any noise, it’s impossible to hear,” Lee said. “That has been challenging because there is no way to adjust it. If you could adjust the sound, I think it would solve a lot of problems.” Hill, 42, a resident of Columbia, Mo., became a Glass evangelist shortly after she picked up the device at Google’s New York offices in late May. As the AP watched her get fitted with Glass though a video feed on Google’s Hangout chat service, Hill quickly began to rave about her ability to take hands-free pictures and fetch information from the Web simply by asking the device to get it. “This is like having the Internet in your eye socket,” Hill said. “But it’s less intrusive than I thought it would be. I can totally see how this would still let you still be in the moment with the people around you.” The liberating aspects of Glass came into sharper focus for Hill as she took a cab to the airport for her flight back to Missouri. During the taxi ride, she began a video call on Google Hangout with people living in Austria, the United Kingdom and St. Louis. As the cab was preparing to drop her off at the curb, Hill was about to end the call so she could carry her baggage. Then came her first Glass epiphany. “That’s when it hit me that, ‘Holy cow, I don’t have to cut the call off,’” Hill recalled. “I could continue talking because I didn’t have to hold a phone. So I carried on a conversation through the airport and people were staring at me like, ‘What is that thing on

your face?’” Hill became accustomed to the double takes and quizzical looks as she wore Glass to community gatherings, restaurants and shopping excursions. The encounters usually led to her offering others to try on Glass, and most were impressed with their glimpses at the technology, Hill said. “When you have these glasses on, it’s like it helps you see the future,” Hill said. “It helps you see what’s possible.” Hill, a former news anchor and reporter for KOMU-TV in Columbia, Mo., believes Glass is destined to transform broadcast journalism by empowering reporters to capture compelling images at scenes without the need for cumbersome equipment. She likens it to having a satellite TV truck that only weighs 1.5 ounces. Glass also would make it easier for reporters to field questions from viewers through the Twitter app or through direct texts. Hill has already used Glass to provide a tour of the World War II memorial in Washington, D.C., for veterans gathered in St. Louis by Veterans United, where Hill now works as the group’s chief storyteller. The veterans were too old or ill to make the journey themselves, so Hill gave them a closeup look through a video feed transmitted through Glass in June. Lee, a New York City resident, has been relying on Glass mostly to capture precious moments with her 9-month-old daughter, Maddie. Her favorite moment came when she photographed some of her daughter’s first giggles a couple months ago. Lee, 34, told Glass to take the pictures as she as tickled and kissed her daughter’s tummy. “Obviously, you can’t do that with a phone in your hand, so I am totally loving Glass,” Lee said. “It has really been great.” Glass also allowed Lee to set up live video sessions with her parents in Oregon so they could see Maddie eat her first solid food just as she saw it. She also took pictures of her raising Maddie airborne

that wouldn’t have been feasible with a camera requiring hands-on operation. “I am capturing all these tiny moments that are really exciting with a baby,” Lee said. Unlike Hill’s experience in Missouri, hardly anyone in New York gives her a second look when she wears Glass in Central Park or around her neighborhood. “I thought more people would stop me in the street or something like that, but that hasn’t really happened,” Lee said. Levy, 39, rarely wears his Glass around his hometown of Boulder, Colo., because he doesn’t want to stand out from the crowd. Just two days after Levy picked up the device in New York, he recalls seeing someone else wearing the device at the airport. “My initial reaction was, ‘What a jerk,’” Levy said. “There was a little bit of ostentatiousness about it, as if he were flaunting it. I am a low-key guy who doesn’t like a lot of attention. I have an iPhone that does a lot of things that I might otherwise make Glass do if I didn’t want to make a spectacle of it.” Glass has impressed Levy while wearing it for his main purpose of taking pictures and video of some of the trails charted by Protrails.com, an online hiking site he co-owns. His objective is to share more of the Continental Divide with schoolchildren in hopes it will inspire them to do more outdoor exploration and less sitting at home. “I was wondering if Glass would feel like a burden or part of my hiking equipment. It actually feels pretty cool,” Levy said. “They are totally fine on my head and don’t block any of my view. When you see something interesting, you can immediately have a camera

on it. I really enjoy being able to capture those images.” Glass’ ability to take hands-free pictures and video has raised concerns among privacy watchdogs who believe the device will make it easier to secretly record the activities of other people. But Levy is convinced that what Glass can do isn’t much different than what many people already do with their smartphones. To prove his point, Levy used his iPhone to record a conversation he was having with a friend who was railing against the privacy risks posed by Glass. “I recognize that Glass can make people uncomfortable, but I have to say the privacy issues are a specious concern,” Levy said. “If I have a phone in a restaurant, I can get a picture of just about anybody I want with it. So what’s the difference between a phone and Glass?” Lee regularly has Glass with her when Maddie is around other babies and said she hasn’t heard any privacy objections from other parents. That could be because she has been careful about following the social cues around her. If she sees other parents snapping pictures of their babies with their phones, Levy has donned her Glass. If no one else is taking pictures or video, though, she leaves Glass in her bag. Some analysts question whether Glass will have mass appeal once it hits the market. Skeptics who have seen the early participants walking around wearing Glass believe the device will eventually be remembered as a geeky curiosity that never lived up to its hype, similar to the Segway, the twowheeled, self-balancing scooters that remain an anomaly more than a decade after they first went on sale.

Angela McIntyre, a research director for Gartner Inc., believes the retail price for Glass will have to plummet to $200 to make a significant dent. Early testers had to pay $1,500 for the device, though Google hopes to bring that price down by the time of its mass-market release next year. Even then, McIntyre believes smartwatches, another type of Internetconnected device starting to appear on the market, will win a bigger following than Glass. “Most people are just more used to putting technology on their wrist,” she said. “It’s less intrusive and obtrusive to wear a watch that can serve as a second screen to your smartphone.” In a recent report on wearable computing, Forrester Research analyst Sarah Rotman Epps predicted Glass will appeal largely to “young, socially connected tech optimists” and professionals, such as surgeons, construction managers and even farmers, who could use the device as part of their jobs. She defines tech optimists as people “who see technology playing a positive role in their lives.” Hill figures it’s still way too early to envision all the different ways that Glass will be used. “We are guinea pigs using the Model Ts of a new age in computing,” she said. “They don’t have heated seats or radios or all the amenities that they will eventually, and we are still learning how to drive them.” ___ AP Technology Writer Michael Liedtke recently wrote about his own experience with Google Glass.

DEAR ABBY

Fear of 911 publicity causes some not to make the call DEAR ABBY: A friend of mine was a victim of domestic violence. When I asked her why she didn’t phone 911 for help, her response was, “They play those 911 calls on the radio all the time.” She didn’t want her prominent husband’s career damaged by adverse publicity. Today, a group of us discussed the issue over breakfast. Many of the women said that because of the popularity of 911 calls being broadcast on the Internet, radio and TV, they’d be hesitant to phone for help when needed, too. Abby, someone is going to suffer serious harm out of fear that their call for help will be publicized. Do you know what can be done about this new “drama entertainment”? I wouldn’t want my terrified call heard by the public ei-

ther, so I’d take my chances without calling for help. I just hope I don’t wake up dead one day as a result. — PUBLICITY-SHY IN FLORIDA DEAR PUBLICITYSHY: Nothing can be done about “drama entertainment” as long as the public has an appetite for it. The reason for the practice of “if it bleeds, it leads” in the media is that it draws viewers and listeners — which means advertising revenue. In the case of domestic violence, calling 911 is the

lesser of two evils. Out-ofcontrol abusers have been known to maim and kill the ones they “love.” Ask yourself if your friend’s husband’s career was worth risking her life for. It makes more sense to risk a 911 call being broadcast than to have cameras and TV reporters camped on your lawn while the EMTs or the coroner carry your battered, bloody body out on a gurney. ——— DEAR ABBY: I’m overweight and have a family history of heart disease and diabetes. An injury to my back severely limits my ability to exercise, so diet is an important part of my health plan. My problem is people CONSTANTLY try to get me to eat. I explain my situation, but they still urge me to have “just a

taste.” If I go to a party and shy away from the buffet, the host feels I’m being rude. Recently, my supervisor at work became insulted because I refused some food she brought to a work meeting. These people wouldn’t be upset if an alcoholic refused a drink, so why are they so hostile to me? (Another thing that upsets me is when somebody dies an early death, these same folks say, “He should have taken better care of himself.”) — UNDER ATTACK IN ARIZONA DEAR UNDER ATTACK: For many people, food has become something other than fuel for the body. It can symbolize love, caring, acceptance — and when it is refused it can seem like a personal rejection to the person offering it. (Yes, I know it’s

crazy.) Your best defense is to remind your hosts, your supervisor, your co-workers and friends that you have a family history of health problems and are on a doctor-advised restricted diet to manage it. Remind these generous souls that socializing is more about the company than the food, and you are grateful that they understand. ——— DEAR ABBY: You give so much great advice, I’m wondering if there is a basic principle you abide by in order to help guide you when giving advice. — CURIOUS READER DEAR CURIOUS: I hadn’t really thought about it, but I suppose it’s something like this: Show up for work ready to put forth my best effort. Be honest enough to admit that not

everyone agrees with me or that I’m sometimes wrong. Tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Don’t pull any punches, don’t preach and always try to be succinct. ——— Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Envoy to seek release of American held in NKorea WASHINGTON (AP) — A senior U.S. envoy will travel to North Korea this week to seek the release of an American sentenced to 15 years of hard labor in the authoritarian country, the State Department said Tuesday. The visit by Bob King, the U.S. special envoy for North Korean human rights issues, will be the first public trip to North Korea by an administration official in more than two years and could provide an opening for an improvement in relations severely strained by Pyongyang’s pursuit of nuclear weapons. State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said King will request a pardon and amnesty for 45-year-old Kenneth Bae on humanitarian grounds. Bae, a tour operator and Christian missionary, was arrested in November and accused of committing “hostile acts” against North Korea. He suffers multiple health problems and was recently hospitalized. Washington has been calling for Pyongyang to grant amnesty since Bae

was sentenced on April 30. King will fly to Pyongyang on Friday from Tokyo on a U.S. military plane, and fly out on Saturday. “We remain deeply concerned about the health and welfare of Kenneth Bae, the American citizen currently detained in North Korea,” the White House said in a statement. “We urge the government of North Korea to grant special clemency to Mr. Bae immediately and allow him to return home with Ambassador King.” When King last visited North Korea in May 2011 to assess the impoverished North’s food situation, he came home with Eddie Jun, the last American to be held then freed by Pyongyang. Jun, a KoreanAmerican from California, was arrested for alleged unauthorized missionary work during several business trips to the country. He was released on humanitarian grounds. Bae’s sister revealed earlier this month that he was moved from a labor camp to a hospital after losing more than 50 pounds. Terri

Chung, of Edmonds, near Seattle, says her brother, a father-of-three, suffers from diabetes, an enlarged heart, liver problems and back pain. He was born in South Korea and immigrated to the U.S. with his parents and sister in 1985. For the past seven years Bae has been living in China, Chung says. According to U.S. officials, Washington first made its offer to send King to North Korea several weeks ago, but Pyongyang only recently took them up on the offer. Pyongyang has yet to declare it will release Bae. Rep. Rick Larsen, who represents the Washington state district where Bae is from, said he was encouraged by the State Department’s decision to send King and commended

North Korea has dialed down its rhetoric in recent months and has moved to improve its relations with rival South Korea, a staunch U.S. ally. The two sides have agreed to reopen a shuttered, joint industrial park and hold reunions of Korean families divided since the 1950-53 Korean War. North Korea, analysts say, has previously used detained Americans as bargaining chips in its standoff with the U.S. over its nuclear and missile programs. Multination aidfor-disarmament talks have been on hold since 2009, and efforts by Washington to negotiate a freeze in the North’s nuclear program in exchange for food aid collapsed 18 months ago. Two senior Obama administration officials re-

portedly made secret visits to North Korea in 2012 in an effort to improve relations with the government of young leader Kim Jong Un, but apparently made little headway. Bae is at least the sixth American detained in North Korea since 2009. The others were eventually allowed to leave without serving out their terms, some after prominent Americans, including former Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, visited North Korea. In an interview posted online by a pro-North Korean newspaper this month, Bae requested that a high-ranking U.S. official should come to North Korea and seek a pardon for his release. It wasn’t clear from the video whether Bae was speaking voluntarily.

their efforts to seek Bae’s release. “Kenneth’s family has waited in anguish and uncertainty, but has never wavered in their tireless advocacy on his behalf,” Larsen said in a statement. “I will continue working with the State Department and Kenneth’s family to ensure his safe return home.” North Korea and the U.S. do not have formal diplomatic relations, and their tenuous ties have been in a tailspin for more than a year after Pyongyang conducted long-range rocket launches and a February nuclear test in defiance of U.N. Security Council resolutions. When sanctions were then tightened, North Korea issued dire threats against the U.S. and its allies.

LANDSCAPING

Hardy Plumbago best used as ground cover By Tom Terry Master Gardener

Hardy Plumbago, Ceratostigma plumbaginoides, which is shown in the picture, features bright blue flowers. It is best used as a ground cover in a shady or partially shaded area. It will not tolerate strong afternoon sun. Its common name is Leadwort. Several examples of this plant can be seen on the west side of the OSU Extension Center on MacArthur at Acme Road. Although it is on th west side it is shaded by trees from the hottest afternoon sun. Hardy Plumbago should be started in the spring months of April through June. Existing plants can be divided at that time. The green leaves last all summer and begin to turn a reddish bronze in the fall. After frosts occur the leaves drop and the plant is dormant. It is slow to reappear in the spring and may take a couple of years to begin spreading. It is worth the wait to have these very blue flowers in your shady areas. The flowers mature into seed heads which have an attractive copper color. Steve Dobbs in his book “Oklahoma Gardening” says that Hardy Plumbago needs well drained soil. It will not tolerate soggy compacted soils. Fertilize in the spring and avoid making another application after July. This keeps the plant from developing tender growth that is

more susceptible to low temperatures. Another Plumbago that is seen frequently in our area is Plumbago auriculata. This plant is most

often grown in containers although it can be planted in the flower bed. It has masses of large phlox like blooms. The white version is ‘Alba’. The one with

light blue flowers if ‘Royal Cape.’ Some people have good luck placing this plant in the flower bed and it survives the winter. I know of one instance where a

container of Plumbago auriculata was left outside all winter and it survived and is blooming this summer. I don’t run that risk. I grow mine in a flower pot and

cut it back to overwinter in the garage. The Plumbago auriculata plant is readily available in garden centers in the spring in both white and blue blooms.

Do stink bugs and their relatives hurt my pecans and garden vegetables? Stink bugs and their relatives, the leaf-footed bug and squash bug feed on plants by means of a piercing stylet (think hypodermic needle) that they

use to suck nutrients from the plant. As they feed, they insert a chemical into the plant to break down the cell walls. The bugs then feed on the liquefied plant tissue. They can kill plants simply by the large numbers of insects feeding on a plant. In the process of feeding, the bugs can also transmit diseases.

Stink bugs can pierce the shell of a pecan after it has hardened. The resulting damage to the nut is a black spot on the kernel and a bitter taste to the nut. Leaffooted bugs feeding on pecans prior to shell hardening will cause a condition known as black pit and the nut will abort. They do little damage af-

ter shell hardening. Squash bugs and their immature young only feed on the cucurbit family. They prefer squash, pumpkin, watermelon, cantaloupe and cucumber, in that order. There are several true bugs that are predators that are beneficial and eat other insects. You should know the in-

sects in your garden before you apply an insecticide. Synthetic insecticides that will control true bugs include: Acetamiprid, Carbaryl, Esfenvalerate or Lambda-cyhalothrin. Malathion will not kill squash bugs. Organic insecticides that will control true bugs are Pyrethrins and Neem Oil. Keep in mind that Neem oil will

control the immature bugs more easily than the adults. Always follow the label instructions for mixing proportions and safety information. For more information contact the OSU Extension Center, 14001 Acme Road, corner of MacArthur and Acme Road in Shawnee or 273-7683.

Oklahoma State defense has new wrinkles

STILLWATER (AP) — Don’t call Oklahoma State’s revamped defense “aggressive.” New defensive coordinator Glenn Spencer has added some new wrinkles, and many observers have been using that word to describe the changes. But Spencer, now preparing for Saturday’s opener against Mississippi State in Houston, doesn’t like labeling his particular brand of football. “I haven’t said (the word

aggressive), that’s being said a lot,” said Spencer, who was promoted after four years as the Cowboys’ linebackers coach, replacing Bill Young. “All I know is, we just try to get them to play hard every snap. We try to get them to know situations and to execute what we want them to. We’re demanding on them, we try to get them to be accountable to each other, and until you do that on a Saturday afternoon

when the scoreboard’s on, all the talk doesn’t mean anything.” As far as coach Mike Gundy is concerned, the Oklahoma State defense won’t be dramatically different from the unit that ranked sixth among the 10 Big 12 schools last season as the Cowboys went 8-5. “Glenn has been here for a number of years, so he was very familiar with our personnel,” Gundy said. “We really haven’t adjusted very much on

defense, it’s more of an attitude and a little bit of an approach.” Defensive tackle Calvin Barnett, a senior who was All-Big 12 last season, feels that there is a greater sense of camaraderie in the group. “He’s really helped us come together as a defense,” Barnett said of Spencer. “A lot of us hang out even more. There’s always going to be groups within the team, but the groups

QUESTION: What new Washington Redskins head coach was hired in 1981? TUESDAY’S ANSWER: Looking to improve their quarterback position, the Philadelphia Eagles drafted Syracuse QB Donovan McNabb with the second overall pick of the 1999 NFL Draft. McNabb would start the season as backup, but he got his chance the second half of the season and helped the Eagles finish on a strong note, winning their final two games. In 2000, McNabb’s first full season as a starter, the Eagles compiled an impressive 11-5 record, reversing their win-loss ratio from the previous year.

have gotten bigger. We do a lot more together and that’s really helped our defense a lot. He wants to be more aggressive, but at the same time, he’s not letting us forget that we still are a family.” There’s that word again. Senior cornerback Justin Gilbert also used it. “From my point of view, that’s pretty much how you can describe our defense,” said Gilbert, who also serves as the team’s top kick returner.

OKTAHA — Tanner Nelson earned a pitching victory and was perfect from the plate Tuesday, igniting Dale to a 12-2 run-rule decision over Oktaha. The game was stopped after the sixth inning on the 10-run rule. Nelson and reliever Hunter Pinkston toiled three innings apiece. Nelson, who surrendered one unearned run, gave up one hit and struck out five. He walked two and hit two. Oktaha earned one earned run off Pinkston, who permitted two hits. He fanned two and walked four. At the plate, Nelson went 3-for-3 with two doubles and a single. Xavier Lanham chipped in with a double and a single. Three Pirates — Chase Byndas, Jace Wilkins and Skyler Martin — finished with a double apiece. Gunnar Hathcock added two singles. Dale finished with 11 hits but committed four errors. “We played better than we did yesterday,” Dale coach Jerry Sanford said. “We hit it better but we have to pitch better. It’s a process. You can’t worry about things early in the season.” Monday, Dale suffered its first loss of the season with a 5-1 decision to visiting Roff. The Pirates, 9-1, will play a 4:30 p.m. varsity/junior-varsity doubleheader Thursday against visiting Stonewall. Friday’s scheduled game with Tupelo was cancelled.

Tecumseh’s Jordan Detherage locks in on a pitch in the Lady Savages’ 7-2 win Tuesday over host Shawnee. Detherage, the winning pitcher, was 1-for-4 with a two-run double. JASON SMITH STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

DOUBLE THREAT Tecumseh’s Detherage hot on both sides of the ball Winning pitcher Jordan Detherage recorded a route-going fivehitter and contributed a two-run double Tuesday to propel Tecumseh to a 7-2 victory over host Shawnee. Tecumseh never trailed after posting two runs in both the second and third innings for a 4-0 lead. Shawnee scored both of its runs in the bottom of the seventh. Detherage, in seven innings of work, whiffed two, walked one and hit one. Aspen Grimes of Tecumseh had an RBI single and a double. Teammate Bailey Smith knocked in a fifth-inning run on a double and also had a seventh-inning single. Tecumseh captured its eighth straight triumph and improved its record to 11-1. “We got some timely hits and made some key defensive plays,” Tecumseh coach Chad Trahan said. Tecumseh combined seven hits with five walks, one hit batsman and six Shawnee errors. Alexis Freeman of Shawnee went 3-for-4 with two singles and a double. The Lady Savages, ranked fifth in Class 4A, will entertain Harrah at 5 p.m. Thursday in a junior varsity/

varsity doubleheader. Shawnee, 5-3, will launch the Shawnee Tournament Thursday. The tourney will run through Saturday. Note: Report compiled by Fred Fehr. Ada no match for Lady Pirates DALE — Freshmen stole the show Tuesday as Class 2A top-ranked Dale smothered Ada 10-0 in a matchup stopped after 4 1/2 innings on the run rule. Dale moved to 12-0 as Ada surrendered six hits to go along with six walks. Ada’s pitcher also hit four batters. Freshman hurler Erin Harris improved to 6-0 by giving up two hits in five innings. She didn’t walk a batter and fanned seven. Three other Dale ninth graders — Lauren Hood, Lacey Hood and Danielle Manning — also played vital parts. Lauren Hood drove in three runs via a double and a single. Lacey, her twin sister, had a two-run triple and Manning added a run-scoring three-bagger. Dale netted four runs in both the first inning and the fourth inning.

The Lady Pirates were guilty of just one error. “We played real well,” Dale head coach Andy Powell said. “Erin threw it really well. We have a really young team but we are off to a good start.” Dale will journey to Luther Thursday for a 4:30 p.m. varsity/junior varsity doubleheader. Powell’s squad will play at 5 p.m. Friday at Henryetta. Note: Report compiled by Fred Fehr. Bethel solid in 14-2 rout JONES — A robust hitting attack and good defensive play carried Bethel to a 14-2 victory over Jones Tuesday. Bethel collected 17 hits and didn’t commit an error in the five-inning game. The contest was called on the run rule. Victorious hurler Kim Herron (52) went the distance and allowed nine hits. She fanned six and didn’t permit a walk. Eight Bethel players had two hits each and Bry Flanagan chipped in with a double. HS SOFTBALL, Page 2B

While things could change over the next few days, Oklahoma Baptist’s starting lineup is taking shape. Kickoff is at 1:30 p.m., Saturday, against Southwestern College (Kan.). While a standing-roomonly crowd is expected, tickets are still available at www.obubisontickets. com. The football staff announced Monday that Cale Grauer, a sophomore from Claremore, will be the starting quarterback. The rest of the offensive starters are likely Darryl Fields (sophomore, Madill) at running back and Cy Stallard (freshman, Cleveland) at fullback. Tackles are Zach Clark (freshman, Oklahoma City) and Van Gray (sophomore, Moore); guards are Dustin Malloy (freshman, Cleveland) and Mark Knapp (freshman, Pinon Hills, Calif.); and Mike Miears (freshman, Tuttle) starts at center. Starting receivers are Derek Serowski (sophomore, Moore), Eric DeLay (freshman, Cleveland), Nyko Symonds (sophomore, Oklahoma City) and Turner Coon (freshman, Dale). Defensive ends are Kimes Gilbert (freshman, Oklahoma City) and Christian Edmonds (freshman, Ardmore), with Tylor Whitfield (sophomore, Moore) at nose. Brynden Pitzer (freshman, Edmond) and Tyler Day (freshman, Ardmore) are the inside linebackers with Keegan Metcalf (freshman Elk City) and Levi Jennings (freshman, Moore) on the outside. D’Ante Meeking (freshman, Allen, Texas) and Nelson Mederios (sophomore, Edmond) are at safety. Cornerbacks are Dominic Shegog (freshman, Lawton) and Eugene Estes (freshman, Spring, Texas). Austin Manger (freshman, Midwest City) is the kicker and Jarrod Haynes (freshman, Allen, Texas) will handle the punting duties. Note: Report provided by Ray Fink, OBU sports information director.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Pick 6: Unsettled quarterback competitions (AP) — If a decision has been made on who will start at quarterback for Penn State in its opening game, Bill O’Brien isn’t saying. “The first Penn State offensive series the starting quarterback is going to go out and both guys need to be ready to play,” the second-year coach said Tuesday. “That’s as much as you’re going to get out of me today on this subject.” West Virginia’s Dana Holgorsen is taking a similar approach. Same goes for Lane Kiffin at USC and a few other coaches. A couple days before the college football sea-

son begins, some coaches have decided it’s best not to decide on a starting quarterback — at least not publicly. They’ll head into the opening weekend with their starters still a mystery and/or with plans to play multiple QBs. Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy has said he’ll use two signal callers against Mississippi State after the preseason competition between Clint Chelf and J.W. Walsh ended in a draw. Both look like good options. Each played extensively last season, passed for more than 1,500 yards and completed more than 60 percent of

his passes. Gundy won’t say who’ll take the first snap. Not every coach is so fortunate. Here are six teams planning to unveil their starting quarterback during Game 1. 1) Penn State. O’Brien is choosing between two players who have never thrown a college pass. Sophomore Tyler Ferguson has had a full season to learn, but highly-touted freshman Christian Hackenburg arrived on campus in time for spring practice and the race has been neck-and-neck since. O’Brien has said he’d like

to settle on one and be done with it. The Nittany Lions open with Syracuse, so he probably won’t have time to experiment. 2) Syracuse. Speaking of the Orange, they also have an OR listed on the depth chart at quarterback. Oklahoma transfer Drew Allen or sophomore Terrell Hunt will start against Penn State at MetLife Stadium, home of the Giants and Jets. Allen didn’t arrive until August, giving Hunt a huge head start. But Allen has the talent advantage and the conventional wisdom is that the job will be his. 3) West Virginia. Hol-

gorsen, trying to replace Geno Smith, has narrowed it down to Florida State transfer Clint Trickett and fellow junior Paul Millard. Millard backed up Smith last season but threw only 19 passes. Trickett has more game experience. Millard is more experienced in Holgorsen’s uptempo spread. With the Mountaineers opening against William & Mary, expect auditions to continue. 4) Southern California. Sophomore Max Wittek filled in for Matt Barkley when he was injured at the PICK 6, Page 2B

Ramirez hits 350th homer PITTSBURGH (AP) — Aramis Ramirez had three hits, including his 350th career home run, and drove in four runs as the Milwaukee Brewers edged the Pittsburgh Pirates 7-6 on Tuesday night. The 16-year veteran third baseman helped stake the Brewers to a 5-0 in the fifth inning, but the Pirates rallied to tie it in the sixth. But Milwaukee pulled out the win when rookie pinch-hitter Caleb Gindl hit a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the eighth inning. With the game tied 66, Rafael Betancourt hit a one-out double off Bryan Morris (5-7) and took third on Scooter Gennett’s single. Gindl then lifted a fly to right that scored Betancourt and gave the Brewers their third victory in four games. Pittsburgh, which entered the day one-half game behind St. Louis in the NL Central, lost its third in a row. Milwaukee’s Norichka Aoki reached base in all five plate appearances, with two singles and three walks. Jonathan Lucroy

added three hits, and Gennett had two. Pedro Alvarez went 4-for-4 with a walk, and hit his NL-leading 32nd home run for the Pirates. Neil Walker had a threerun homer among his two hits. Andrew McCutchen, Andrew Lambo and Felix Pie also had two hits. Earlier Tuesday, the Pirates acquired right fielder Marlon Byrd and catcher John Buck from the New York Mets to bolster an offense that ranks 24th in the major leagues in runs. Both players are expected to join the team on Wednesday. With the Pirates down by a run, McCutchen doubled and Alvarez walked with one out in the ninth, but Jim Henderson held on for his 22nd save in 25 opportunities. Rob Wooten (3-0) allowed Alvarez’s homer but pitched 1 1/3 innings for the win. Both starting pitchers had rough outings. The Brewers’ Kyle Lohse gave up five runs and 13 hits in 5 1/3 innings. Pirates All-Star left-hander Jeff Locke was tagged for five

runs and eight hits in 4 2/3 innings. Lohse had been 4-1 with a 2.05 ERA in seven starts since the All-Star break. Locke’s struggles continued as he has allowed 16 runs and 23 hits in 11 1/3 innings in his last three starts. Over his last seven outings, he is 0-2 with a 7.02 ERA. Alvarez tied it 6-6 by lining a solo home run off the right-field foul pole, snapping a tie with Arizona’s Paul Goldschmidt for the league lead. Milwaukee had gone ahead by a run in top of the inning when Ramirez lined a two-out RBI double to center that scored Lucroy, who had singled. A first-inning run scored when Ramirez grounded into a double play. He hit a solo home run, his eighth of the season, with one out in the fourth. After Lucroy hit a twoout RBI single in the fourth, Ramirez followed with a two-run double that put the Brewers up 5-0. The Pirates came back to tie it with four runs in the fifth and one in the sixth.

Cowboys DT Jay Ratliff to miss at least six games IRVING, Texas (AP) — Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Jay Ratliff’s long absence just got a little longer. Ratliff will miss at least the first six games of the season after he was placed on the physically unable to perform list with hamstring and groin injuries. The Cowboys made the move Tuesday as part of getting their active roster down to 75 players. Ratliff, who turns 32 Thursday, missed offseason workouts and training camp after sports hernia surgery late last season. He missed 10 games in 2012 with ankle and groin problems. He last played Nov. 18 against Cleveland. Dallas cut nine players and placed defensive end Tyrone Crawford and lineman Ryan Cook on season-ending injured reserve. The released players were receivers Anthony Amos, Jared Green and Eric Rogers, quarterback Nick Stephens, tight end Colin Cochart, guard Dennis Godfrey, linebacker Deon Lacey, cornerback Brandon Underwood and kicker Brett Maher. Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said he was confident Ratliff would play this season. “I believe in Jay,” Jones

said before the move with Ratliff was announced. “There’s some things that can be frustrating when you have injuries. I’m convinced that we’ve got a program now — he’s had a few setbacks — that hopefully will put him on the road where he can play for us at some point this season.” Ratliff has only two sacks since signing a seven-year, $49 million contract with $18 million guaranteed two years ago. He will have missed 16 of 22 games by the time he’s eligible to return Oct. 20 at Philadelphia. “The groin injury has been the one he’s been dealing with mostly through all of last year and through the offseason, so I think the biggest issue with him is regaining his strength,” coach Jason Garrett said. “Strength enough to go out on the field and do the things he needs to do to anchor and change direction and all the things that are required to play his position.” With Ratliff sidelined, the Cowboys could be forced to play the opener Sept. 8 against the New York Giants without both starters on the left side in their new four-man defensive front. Left end Anthony Spencer is recovering from

knee surgery. George Selvie, a fouryear veteran who didn’t join Dallas until after training camp started, has taken Spencer’s place. Nick Hayden, a sixth-year pro who was out of football last season, started in Ratliff’s spot in last weekend’s preseason game against Cincinnati. “He’s done a very good job for us since he’s been here,” Garrett said. “He shows up as a playmaker in the run game and also affecting the quarterback in the pass game.” The release of Stephens means Alex Tanney will get most or all of the playing time in the final preseason game Thursday night against Houston. The Cowboys didn’t sign Tanney, a second-year player out of Monmouth College in Illinois, until the start of training camp and need to decide whether to keep a third quarterback behind Tony Romo and Kyle Orton. Rogers made a strong early impression in training camp in Oxnard, Calif. — not far from his college home at Cal Lutheran — but didn’t have a catch in four preseason games. Green, the son of former Washington Redskins star and Hall of Fame cornerback Darrell Green, and Amos had three catches apiece in the preseason.

PICK 6

three played last season, but Roberson has star potential. He was the starter in Game 1 in 2012, and broke his leg in Game 2. He seems to be the fans’ choice in Bloomington. Expect to see all three as the Hoosiers open Thursday against Indiana State. 6) Cincinnati. With his unforgettable name and easy-to-spot dreadlocks,

Munchie Legaux became a college folk hero the past two seasons. His play, though, was spotty, opening the door for Brendon Kay to take the job at the end of last season. Kay’s sore shoulder has re-opened the competition, and coach Tommy Tuberville now says he expects both to play when the Bearcats open against Purdue.

end of last season. The circumstances were difficult, but Wittek didn’t do much to distinguish himself. He and fellow sophomore Cody Kessler have been battling to be No. 1 this season. USC opens at Hawaii, which should allow Kiffin to get a good look at both without worrying about losing a game. 5) Indiana. Coach Kevin Wilson has three options: junior Cam Coffman, and sophomores Tre Roberson and Nate Sudfeld. All

NEW YORK (AP) — With a new season of “Duck Dynasty” and the annual MTV Video Music Awards, two of the three most popular programs on television last week were on cable networks instead of broadcast. The exception was the CBS miniseries “Under the Dome,” which has led in the ratings for much of the summer. The MTV awards show was clearly the most talked about program, with Miley Cyrus’ risque dance routine setting social media records. The show was seen live on television Sunday by nearly 10.1 million people, sharply up from the 6.1 million viewers for last year’s program. The audience was bigger in 2010 and 2011 but slumped in the previous years, according to the

By the numbers By Frank Stewart Some declarers play by the numbers and aren’t happy until they compute the best percentage play to three decimal places. I know because I occasionally hear from someone who, he insists, has found a line of play one percent better than one I advocated. Percentages have their place. When you must choose among technical lines of play, prefer the one with the greatest chance of success. At today’s slam, South took the ace of diamonds and the ace of clubs, ruffed a club, led a trump to dummy and ruffed a club. When the king didn’t fall, South took the ace of spades, led a trump to dummy and let the nine of spades ride. He went down when West won and cashed a diamond. BEST PLAY What was the best percentage play? South’s play was slightly inferior. A better play — I think by about 4 percent — is to draw trumps and take the top spades. If the queen falls, South is home (with an overtrick). If not, he can finesse with the queen of clubs to try for a diamond discard. DAILY QUESTION You hold: ♠ 9 5 3 ♥ A Q J 7 ♦ A J ♣ A Q 10 3. The dealer, at your right, opens one spade. You

double, and your partner bids two diamonds. The opponents pass. What do you say? ANSWER: You must keep the auction alive since game chances still exist. Though partner might have no points for his minimum response, he might instead have as many as nine. Bid two hearts. Partner will expect a longer heart suit, but no other action is attractive.

‘Girls Gone Wild’ creator gets 270 days in jail LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Girls Gone Wild” creator Joe Francis was sentenced Tuesday to 270 days in jail and three years’ probation for assaulting a woman at his Los Angeles mansion in 2011. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Nancy L. Newman also ordered the 40-year-old Francis to complete an anger management course and attend 52 sessions of psychological counseling, according to Deputy City Attorney Mitchell Fox. A jury in May convicted Francis of five misdemeanor charges — three counts of false imprisonment, one count of assault by means likely to cause great bodily injury, and one count of dissuading a witness from reporting a crime. Francis’ attorney Steve Levine said key details of the case were proven to be false in court, and he is appealing the decision. “Joe has always maintained his innocence,”

Levine said. He added that the judge “still came to a very fair and measured decision.” According to Fox, Francis met three women on Jan. 29, 2011, at a college graduation party at the Supper Club in Hollywood. He grabbed the arm of one of the girls and took her to his limo, and the two others followed, believing they’d be taken to their car. Instead, they ended up in a gated area of Francis’ Bel Air home. Francis appeared to be interested in one of the women and tried to lead her away, but her friend pulled back, Fox said. Francis then “jumped on the friend, took her to the ground, choked her, slammed her head against the ground, dragged her across the ground, and when she got back up, did it several more times,” Fox said. He then apparently told the women they were trespassing and had to leave. 1220 N. Harrison 273-4230 kasterkeauto.net

ENTERTAINMENT

Dan Zanes, Elizabeth Mitchell make music for kids NEW YORK (AP) — Dan Zanes and Elizabeth Mitchell had only been playing for about 10 minutes when the stage was invaded. The first to appear was a stuffed lamb. Then a cuddly dinosaur. Then all hell broke loose and kids on tiptoes were putting all sorts of beloved stuffed animals — and a collection of 19 neatly organized My Little Ponys — on the lip of the stage to get a better listen. “Did they buy tickets?” Zanes happily teased from behind a guitar on New York University’s Skirball Center stage on Saturday. “Actually, ponies and dinosaurs get in for free.” If most concerts these days are about twerking and pyrotechnics, a Zanes concert usually involves some gentle choo-choo dancing in the aisles, world beats and teddy bears. Plus, it’s often over by noon — that’s when the target audience naps. “We have wild dance parties before lunch,” he says in an interview a day before the concert. “Who else is going to say that, right? I don’t care how many records you’ve sold: Who’s having the dance parties before lunch?” Zanes, a rail-thin, bushyhaired Grammy Award winner whom People magazine has called the “crown prince of contemporary kid’s music,” is a former member of the 1980s band The Del Fuegos who turned to children’s music after the birth of his daughter

and never looked back, building a career with infectious sounds from all over the world. Zanes’ globe-trotting music appetite ranges from elements of Tunisian Sufi, the Louisiana bayou, Appalachia, the Caribbean and South Africa to making a CD completely in Spanish. He likes to call what he does “21st-century, all-ages, handmade social music,” but everyone else calls them kiddie songs. “I accept it. But I don’t think of it as children’s music,” he says in his comfortable two-story Brooklyn home nestled in a diverse neighborhood populated by Bangladeshi and Pakistani immigrants. “This is really music for everybody to sink their teeth into.” Since his debut album, “Rocket Ship Beach,” in 2000, Zanes has recorded with all sorts of musicians, including Debbie Harry, Sheryl Crow, Natalie Merchant, Lou Reed, Ziggy Marley and Philip Glass. This month marks a new CD collaboration with Mitchell, also a giant among the nap set. To parents, the teaming up of Zanes and Mitchell is virtually akin to Paul McCartney and John Lennon working together. In “Turn, Turn, Turn,” Zanes and Mitchell team up with Daniel and Storey Littleton — her husband and daughter — to create gentle folk tunes. Five are Zanes’ originals, and there are also several traditional songs such as “Sail Away

Ladies,” ‘’Train Is A-Coming” and “Wim Wam Waddle.” The songs came easily when the four sat in Zanes’ living room for three days this spring to pick out songs for the CD, which was recorded upstate near Woodstock, N.Y. A tour will hit Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts this fall. “Songs were just flying out,” he says. “We just drink from the same well. We all love music and I think we love the idea of bringing some of these songs sometimes kicking and screaming into the 21st century.” He and Mitchell have been friends since they met at a maternity shop in SoHo when his album came out, and they’ve long wanted to record together. As a sign of how in synch they were, both showed up with a list of the same obscure songs, including “My Creole Belle.” “That’s kind of odd, you have to say,” she says by phone. “It was just really fun and really natural. He and I have really been on this similar path since Day One. We share a similar approach that if the heart and soul are in the right place then that’s all that’s important.” Zanes and Mitchell — her CDs include “You Are My Little Bird,” ‘’Catch the Moon” and the Grammynominated “Little Seed” — each emerged around the same time and have

seen the genre of family music explode. He estimates there are at least 10 times as many people making and performing music for kids now. “A lot of people felt sorry for me when I first started doing this. They really thought I’d given up rock ‘n’ roll so I could sing ‘Old MacDonald’ every day,” he says. “People’s imagination about what family music could be was very, very limited.” He gets inspired by his environment and recently moved into a new home not far from Pakistani and Bangladeshi restaurants

and women passing by in burkas. One neighbor is Haitian, another Puerto Rican. (One song from the new CD is “Coney Island Avenue,” which is a street near his home.) “I like to ask people about what they listened to growing up,” says Zanes, who was raised in New Hampshire. “I’m really appreciating the crazy quilt of cultures around me here. I just love that. I’m just a curious guy.” Over the years, he has learned to play guitar, banjo, mandolin, piano, bass, ukulele, harmonica, jaw harp and spoons. But

Zanes knows the sheer power of music on a toddler is the real beauty. “Being able to sit down and play an instrument for young people, you might as well be pulling a ferret out of your sleeve,” he says. “It’s that amazing.” ___ Online: http://www.danzanes. com http://emdev.pairsite. com/ ___ Follow Mark Kennedy on Twitter at http://twitter.com/KennedyTwits
