Oklahoma State University’s Wine Forum will bring a taste of sophistication to Stillwater.

OSU’s School of Hotel and Restaurant Administration will host its ninth annual Wine Forum on Friday and Saturday.

The event will begin with a gala dinner focused on patrons and donors. The gala will include live and silent auctions for about four hours.

Tickets for Friday’s activities start at $1,000 with tables selling for about $20,000. These tickets are available for corporate sponsors and local supporters.

Wine Forum will continue Saturday, and all other events will be open to the public. Seminars will begin at 10 a.m. and will consist of different wineries answering questions while also discussing how different wines taste.

The final event will be a grand tasting from 7-10 p.m. in Human Sciences Building.

The tasting will consist of 28 wineries and 12 Oklahomaarea chefs.

Wine Forum When: Friday and Saturday Where: Human Sciences Building Tickets: $100 for public tickets to Saturday’s grand tasting; $125 for combined seminar and grand tasting

The grand tasting will take place in Human Science’s North Wing.

Public tickets to the grand tasting are $100, according to the Wine Forum website.

A combined seminar and grand tasting ticket is $125.

Gabe Hargrove, an HRAD senior, said the auction’s goal is to raise money for scholarships and HRAD programs.

He said the grand tasting will be an inclusive event.

“It’s kind of an all-youcan-taste, all-you-can-eat experience,” Hargrove said.

“It’s definitely the most lighthearted, easygoing part of the whole event.”

Hargrove said a former executive member persuaded him to take the Wine Forum class in 2015. Hargrove said

there are usually more than 20 majors represented in the class, and everyone who participates receives a scholarship.

Hargrove became the student executive chair shortly after Wine Forum 2015 and said he mostly serves as a liaison between staff and students, going to staff meetings and communicating with student committees.

Wine Forum has been a great preparation for life after college, Hargrove said. He said he believes it improves communication skills while offering an incredible opportunity to make friendships in a professional setting.

Hargrove said his favorite part of Wine Forum has been the relationships he has built with both students and advisers.

“Every single month something new, something challenging kind of shapes us and brings us together,” he said. “I think the resolve of our team has been the most exciting part.”

Vanna Mullins, an HRAD junior, said she was also inspired to get involved in Wine Forum after taking the class. Mullins is now on the ambassador committee and in charge of recruitment and all auction activities.

Mullins said she encourages the public to buy a ticket and attend the event Saturday.

“It’s a very fun, lively event,” Mullins said. “Often when you think of seminars you think, ‘Oh that’s boring,’

but this is the polar opposite.”

Aside from being enjoyable, Mullins said the event is worthwhile because it’s extremely beneficial for OSU students as a whole.

She said the aspects of Wine Forum highlight several majors while raising awareness involving the HRAD program’s benefits.

Preparing for Wine Forum has been a labor-intensive process, and Mullins said the work has gotten more frequent as the event comes closer. She said once the vision was established, the recruitment and planning process began. The previous year has required a 15- to 20hour commitment per week, Mullins said.

Mullins also said her favorite part of her Wine Forum experience has been the connections she has formed.

“My favorite part has definitely been the friends I’ve made,” Mullins said. “I’ve been working with the same crew for two years, and I’ve gotten to know them so well and realized how wonderful they are.”

Karen Fraser, Wine Forum event coordinator,

BOYCE SHEPHERD LAW

has worked closely with the students to prepare for the event. Fraser said Wine Forum is unique because it is a student-driven event, something she hasn’t heard of being done elsewhere.

Fraser said Wine Forum brings attention to Oklahoma through the finest wines and foods in the country while also giving people a chance to connect with top winemakers in the state and offering educational information.

Fraser, an OSU alumna, said it has been great to come back to the school and work with the students and university. She said her favorite part of the event involves watching students learn and grow throughout the event-planning process.

“They’re so excited about what they’ve done, and they’re so proud,” Fraser said. “It’s just an exciting thing to watch that happen, to see it all come together.”

Water

News

Stillwater official says tap water still safe despite chlorine McNickle said he didn’t know whether too much or too little ammonia was injected. Because the water quality is checked bihourly, water department staff were immediately aware of the problem and shut off the ammonia and chlorine pumps.

“I can tell you there was never unsafe water put in the system,” McNickle said.

The staff found the ammonia mechanism had broken. Because chloramine cannot be made without ammonia, the plant switched to cleaning the water with free chlorine.

Free chlorine is safe to drink in regulation, but it causes water to smell and taste like a chlorinated pool.

Sa m H olzsch u h Sta ff R epo rt er @ o c olly

Stillwater’s tap water will smell and taste strange for two to three weeks but is safe to drink.

City Manager Norman McNickle said the chlorine odor in the city’s water is a remedy to a malfunction in the water plant.

The Stillwater Water Plant cleans the city’s water with ozone, but uses chloramine, a chemical combination of ammonia and chlorine, because of state regulation.

The mechanism that injects ammonia broke March 22 and began cleaning the water incorrectly.

The water might not be a health risk, but the smell and taste is unpleasant, McNickle said.

Stillwater’s plant provides 5 million to 7 million gallons of water per day as the city’s lone water provider.

Pamela Fleming has lived in Stillwater for 12 years and was one of the first citizens to draw attention to the chlorine smell in the drinking water. Fleming said she noticed the odor March 24.

Fleming posted her observations on a community watch page on social media that evening. She said when she realized there were many people noticing the same odor and taste in the water, she contacted

city officials. Fleming said the quickness with which the city acted to explain the problem impressed her.

Fleming said she believes the water is safe; however, she will continue to use bottled water instead.

“I just don’t like the way it tastes,” Fleming said.

McNickle said the poor taste does not correlate to poor quality.

“I admit, it doesn’t have the same pleasant taste we had previously,” McNickle said. “But we will be back (to normal) in two to three weeks.”

McNickle said the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality and the Environmental Protection Agency require chlo-

rine residuals in the treated water to ensure water stays clean after it goes through the pipes.

The water department staff treats the water with 4 milligrams per liter of chloramine, which the Department of Environmental Quality requires. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lists this as a safe level for drinking water. The same measure is used for free chlorine, which the CDC also considers safe.

The Department of Environmental Quality has been monitoring Stillwater’s situation closely. McNickle said if there were a health violation in the water, the city would be promptly

punished.

Repairs started Thursday morning, McNickle said.

The complicated ammonia device requires new parts, which he said will be in Stillwater soon.

In a 2012 study, the EPA found 68 million Americans were drinking water treated with chloramine in 1998, and McNickle said he trusts the water.

“I have young grandchildren, and I didn’t call them (to) tell them to quit drinking the water,” McNickle said. “There just isn’t anything wrong with it.”

higher education cuts puts strain on OSU O l ivi a R id dl e Sta ff R epo rt er @ nor malo l ivia

State funding cuts to higher education are affecting the affordability of education at Oklahoma State University.

Funding to the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education was reduced by 15.9 percent for the 2017 fiscal year, which begins July 1. The state provided $810 million for higher education, compared to the $963 million it provided for the 2016 fiscal year.

The decrease follows a series of cuts to funding.

The state cut $112 million in higher education funds between 2015 and 2016.

The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education oversee Oklahoma’s 25 public colleges and universities, which serve 414,000 students. OSU will receive $37 million less in state funds than the previous fiscal year.

In anticipation of these cuts, the OSU/A&M Board of Regents approved a 7 percent tuition increase in June for the 2016-17 academic year. OSU President Burns Hargis said the tuition increase would cover about half the loss of funding.

“I never like raising tuition,” Hargis told The Oklahoman in June. “But this year is an extraordinary year. These are hard choices.

2136 W. SUNSET

… When you start rendering the school unable to provide the services that are bringing that money in, you’re really messing around with some serious economic consequences.”

State funds account for 15 percent of OSU’s total revenue, a decrease from 18 percent the previous year, according to OSU Communications. Fifteen years ago, state funding accounted for 38 percent of the university’s total revenue.

The university has been able to partially offset the effects of decreased state funding through increased fundraising, growth in outof-state student enrollment and record-high overall

enrollment.

But despite a 10-percent increase in students during the past decade, the number of university employees grew by only 0.2 percent, according to statistics the university provided.

During her State of the State Address in February, Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin said supporting higher education is a priority for strengthening the state’s workforce and improving its economy.

“By working together and avoiding distractions, we can solve today’s problems and make Oklahoma grow and prosper,” Fallin said. “First, we improve the workforce and education. … We must be ac-

countable to the taxpayers on how we spend education dollars.”

The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education requested a $957,922,109 appropriation for the 2018 fiscal year, 18.3 percent more than 2017’s higher education appropriation.

However, for Fallin’s proposed 2018 budget, higher education spending remains the same.

In March, the regents voted to create a task force to review the status of Oklahoma’s higher education system, according to a state regents media release. The task force will “consider ways to improve degree completion and increase productivity by focusing on modernization, efficiencies and

innovation.”

John Massey, state regents chairman, said in the release the regents plan to examine how to overcome the budget challenges the recent state revenue shortfalls have caused.

“Higher education has never been more critical to the future of our state than it is now,” Massey said. “In this time of financial pressure and budget constraints, we believe it is imperative we take a fresh look at our operational structure, administrative practices and productivity initiatives.”
