Progress405 off to an up-and-down beginning >Some renters managing a variety of issues while others are content BY dan iel n o r m a n

Staff Reporter
eyond the picturesque brochures, a new apartment building can be riddled with problems. Progress405 on Boomer Road opened its doors a few days before the start of the semester. Some residents almost immediately noticed issues, from minor problems such as nicks and scratches on walls and appliances, to things as major as malfunctioning air conditioners. One apartment in particular has seen quite a bit of the issues. Roommates Carley and Alayna, who gave only their first names, said their air conditioner malfunctioned the first night they were in the apartment and then again a few days later. They also had issues contacting the maintenance staff. “The first time, (the maintenance technician) came immediately, but he didn’t fix it,” Carley said. “He just messed with it for a second and said if it didn’t get better to call him in two hours, and then he didn’t answer his phone. We called around 7 p.m., and it got fixed around midnight.” When the roommates called after their air conditioner malfunctioned for the second time, they called late at night and didn’t get an answer. However, when the roommates called again the morning after, a technician came immediately. MONDAY, AUGUST 22, 2016

One tenant’s closet at Progress405 came with a large hole, one of numerous issues residents have had at the complex.
“There’s paint issues with all of the rooms, and there’s a hole in my closet,” Alayna said. “In the bathroom, they used a warped board, so our bathroom wall isn’t straight. It bows out.” The roommates have had better luck with the maintenance staff than with the front office. “When I showed the maintenance guy all the stuff that’s wrong, he did say someone was going to come fix it,” Alayna said. The staff also offered to put them in a hotel the first time their air conditioner malfunctioned, Alayna said. Despite the issues, the roommates agree they enjoy living in the complex. “We keep having problems, but I do feel like they’re trying really hard with the maintenance,” Alayna said. Although some residents such as Carley and Alayna are facing issues, other residents, such as Danielle Hawkins, a management
junior, said they haven’t had any problems and are enjoying the new complex. “Everything’s perfect so far,” Hawkins said. “The buildings are really modern, so I like that.” Progress Builders LLC built Progress405. Michael Allard, president and chief construction officer of Progress Builders LLC, said the company checks each apartment to make sure everything works properly and is set, but as many times as these checks are performed, some problems won’t be apparent until someone moves in. “These things happen when you move 400 or 500 kids in all at once into apartment homes and apartment suites,” Allard said. “Our construction guys are out there for several weeks after move-in because when you move in so many people all at once, things are certain to not be perfect.” Ill-fitting shower rods have been one of the biggest issues
reported to the Progress405 staff, Allard said. “It seems like we may have bought a bad batch of shower rods because I see about 50 shower rod replacements,” he said. Issues with new apartment buildings are not unique to Progress405. Residents of the new Prime Place development on West Elm Avenue, such as Gage Huffman and Megan Harris, have faced similar problems. The elevator was out of order and still under reparation during move-in, said Huffman, a business marketing sophomore. “I love it, but I think there’s still some stuff to work on,”
OCOLLY.COM
Huffman said. “When we checked out our new apartment, there wasn’t much, just nicks and stuff here and there, but with the time they had, I’m not bothered by it.” Harris, a nutritional science sophomore, has faced more challenging issues with her hot water, or lack thereof. “We don’t have hot water, and the people across our hall don’t have hot water,” Harris said. “At one point, they tried to fix it, and I showered once with hot water, and then it didn’t work, but they’ve tried to fix it. They try and do stuff as fast as possible.” Despite this issue, Harris also said she likes the building.
Issues with new structures will always arise no matter how well they’ve been checked, Allard said. “As many times as we go through … turn stuff on and plug stuff in, and the building department goes through and makes sure there’s hot water and everything’s running fine, as many times as we do that, things happen,” Allard said.

Atherton’s renovations reinvigorate hotel BY lu ke gar z a Staf f reporte r
Scott Bernard scampered back inside the doors of the main lobby after valeting another guest’s car. Short-staffed for the morning, Bernard was forced to assist his employees, offering them bits of advice as he walked down the hallway to his office. Bernard, general manager of The Atherton Hotel since October 2012, was a little rushed. Sweat accumulated on his brow. But after walking into his office and sitting at his desk, he beamed with pride as he talked about the newly renovated Atherton Hotel. The hotel was open for the first 1 1/2 years of Bernard’s tenure, but for 26 months, from May 14, 2014, to July 22, it was under construction. It needed a new elevator. An additional building was necessary to accommodate the new elevator shaft. This allowed for relocation of the front desk, now with living-room-style chairs for guests to sit in as they check in. The goal was to create a one-of-a-kind hotel experience: combine the tranquil feeling of Stillwater with the upbeat buzz of the student body on campus. “It’s a really cool atmosphere here,” Bernard said. “Working with students keeps you young. “The vibe on campus is fantastic.” Before the changes, the MONDAY, AUGUST 22, 2016
entry to the main lobby faced west, toward Library Lawn. This caused problems for people trying to locate the hotel, especially those driving on Hester Street. Now, the entrance faces east. “One of the goals is to make it guest-friendly,” Bernard said. “Sometimes if people weren’t familiar with campus, it was really hard to find the front desk.” Guests who experienced a delayed arrival often became frustrated, Bernard said. Starting off on the wrong foot with a customer could lead to a bitter relationship, one that might persuade him or her to not to come back for a second stay. This prods employees of the hotel to essentially play catch-up with their guests, stressing the need to repair a relationship damaged in its early stages. “Many times we were forced to recover as soon as they checked in,” Bernard said. “Campuses are difficult if you aren’t familiar, as it is. This made it a lot easier for our customer experience, and it’s a better deal altogether.” Unreliable utilities also caused rifts between guests and management before the renovation. Guests expect everything to work the way it’s supposed to. This led to the replacement of components

‘Oklahoma China’: The journey of a Joe’s cup BY R achel Mor etti Sta ff Reporter
A staple among Oklahoma State students and residents of Stillwater might appear simple at first. However, the colorful 22-ounce Eskimo Joe’s cups, which customers get to take home from the restaurant on every visit, have taken on a legacy of their own. The tradition’s roots date to the fall of 1983 when the Oklahoma Legislature’s raising of the drinking age from 18 to 21 caused Eskimo Joe’s CEO and founder Stan Clark to consider expansion of his then-3.2 beer bar. “That’s when I go, ‘This great business is getting ready to dry up and go
away. What am I going to do next?’” Clark said. “That was really the watershed event in our history, honestly, when we tried to put a kitchen in and create a great restaurant and see if we could keep the great business that we had going by then. Thankfully, we were able to do so.” The addition of the famous Joe’s cups came four years later, after the first Eskimo Joe’s remodel, which included a dishwasher. Once Clark heard the idea to put his logo on cups brought in from his distributor, Jim Schlimpert, a tradition was born. Today, Eskimo Joe’s goes through about 600,000 cups a year. “We just think it’s a

When locals get their hands on them, the cups take on a new identity. “(The cups) have kind of picked up the name of ‘Oklahoma China’ because our cabinets are full of them here,” said Kendra Moreland, Eskimo Joe’s director of public relations. Most of the customers have come to love the cups rachel moretti/O’COLLY and what they stand for, Joe’s cups “represent all the good times,” CEO Stan Clark said. including Chris Young, a We’re all-in on it.

It’s a part of Stillwater.” The cups have been an instrumental part of Eskimo Joe’s and its history, Clark said; the logo on the cup represents 41 years of a life-changing restaurant. “We have really touched a lot of lives,” Clark said. “I think (the cups) just represent all the good times at Joe’s.” Rachel Moretti is a strategic communications freshman from Allen, Texas.

OSU boathouse christened at Riversport Adventures BY au br ie b ow l a n sta ff reporter
OKLAHOMA CITY — “Landlocked” is not a term in Oklahoma State’s vocabulary. OSU opened its kayak boathouse at Riversport Adventures in Oklahoma City on Saturday. The arena hosted a christening ceremony with speakers, champagne and a swiftwater safety demonstration from the OKC Fire Department. OSU’s Fire Protection & Safety program began working with the fire department to train for swiftwater rescue. Speakers at the event included OSU President Burns Hargis; Michael Knopp, executive director of the Boathouse District; Randy Seitsinger, associate dean of CEAT academic affairs, and Chris Goodwin, deputy chief of the OKC Fire MONDAY, AUGUST 22, 2016

qualified at its arena. It is a $45 million facility with international recognition for its technology. “We really are in the midst of OCOLLY.COM
river royalty here,” Hargis said. “This iconic kayak boathouse will be known far and wide.” The designers behind the boathouse, Rand Elliott, Mike Mays and Cody Pistulka, are architects for the Oklahoma River and worked with Scott Shipley, an Olympian in canoe, and his company S2O Design. Elliott is also one of the architects working on the new business building at OSU. After some champagne popping at the building, the OKC Fire Department showed the audience how first responders would react to a swiftwater emergency. “I don’t know how many 500and 100-year floods I’ve seen here in the city,” Goodwin said. “It’s one of the least prepared events because we have no facility where we can
train. We just can’t recreate it, but now that has changed with this facility.” Saturday was “OSU Day,” giving students and faculty a chance to raft for half-price. By the end of the day, “at least 50 people” had taken advantage of this deal, according to the Riversport Adventures office. OSU’s Fire Protection & Safety training program will continue its partnership with the OKC Fire Department to gain knowledge on swiftwater flood rescue.

Notes from the O’Colly Crime Desk: Aug. 15-21 BY vi cto r ia dodge Staff Reporter
Inmate assaults officer
An inmate attacked an officer Aug. 8, and another inmate came to the officer’s rescue. Tashka Robert Frank Maret, 24, being held in a booking cell at the Payne County Jail, punched detention officer Matthew Hudson after Maret had asked to go to the bathroom, according to a media release. In the released video, Maret picked Hudson up and threw him after catching him off guard. After Hudson called for backup, the two continued to fight. Then Robert Charles Hammock stepped in. Hammock, waiting to be released from custody, picked Maret up and held him on the ground as backup appeared, according to the video. Maret is charged with assault and battery on an officer and could face up to five years in prison, according to the release.
Courtroom fight
A fight broke out Wednesday between inmates in a Payne County courtroom. The fight occurred in Judge Stephen Kistler’s court while Jonathan Lee Goodman and Craig Andrew Phillips were waiting MONDAY, AUGUST 22, 2016
for felony docket calls, according to a media release. The men were sitting next to each other in the jury box when Goodman, reportedly unprovoked, attacked Phillips, according to the release. The two were quickly broken up, and Goodman was placed in insolation. Phillips was facing charges of copper theft and has past convictions of indecent exposure, according to the release. Goodman was in court for drug-related charges and is now facing additional charges for the attack, according to the release. He has past convictions of child abuse.
Manhunt
Two teens led Stillwater Police and the Payne County Sherriff’s Office on a manhunt in southeast Stillwater on Thursday. Jaden Alec Robinson, 19, was arrested on charges of eluding and obstructing a police officer, according to a media release. The other teen managed to get away. Police responded to a call about two male teenagers breaking into cars, stealing items from them and attempting to break into homes, according to the release. Robinson and the other suspected burglar were cornered at 19th Avenue and Prairie Road. Police
arrested Robinson after bringing in K-9 units. The second suspect was hit with a taser but escaped into a nearby field. Police are still searching for the second suspect. Robinson will face additional charges. His court date has yet to be set.
Armed robbery
Stillwater Police are looking into an armed robbery at Jack in the Box on Thursday. Two male suspects entered the restaurant at 508 E. Hall of Fame Ave. about 3 a.m. with a handgun. One man had a bandana covering his face, and the other had a black Oklahoma State jacket. After taking money, witnesses said the two drove north on Perkins Road. The vehicle appeared to be a small, dark-colored car with tinted windows and black rims. The pair took an unknown amount from the business. The case is still open. The Criminal Investigations Division will investigate the case. Stillwater Police is asking anyone who knows about the robbery to call 405-372-4171 or leave an anonymous TIP at 405-742-8301.
