The strategy behind Roe’s championship run
File Photo Taylor Roe makes her way to the finish at the OSU Invitational at the OSU Cross Country Course on October 17, 2020 in Stillwater, Oklahoma.
Ben Hutchens Staff Reporter Taylor Roe said by nature she is not a risk taker Part of what makes Roe, an Oklahoma State junior, winning the NCAA Championship in the women’s 3,000 Meters special is the risk she took to do it. Roe hung in the back of the pack in Saturday’s race. She followed the verbal commands of coach Dave Smith, who yelled instructions to push to the front with 1,000 meters left. Smith was also there for a hug when Roe finished first, bringing home OSU’s
first NCAA Championship in cross country or track since Sinclaire Johnson in 2019. Smith said he isn’t a gambler by nature, either, but the strategy to start out slow was adopted to highlight Roe’s strength and endurance. “Strategically, it was a great move,” Smith said. “It paid off, obviously. But it’s risky because when you kind of go with almost everything you’ve got from not far out you can mistime it and misjudge it and come up about 100 meters short and then pretty soon everybody comes back on you because you sort of stagger down the home stretch.” Smith said the reason he wanted Roe to make her way to the front at the 1,000-meter mark is because that is when the psychology of the race changes. More runners are likely to take off at that point and Roe had to be part of that group. With 750 meters left, Roe made her move. Smith said Roe’s push caught NC State freshman Katelyn Tuohy by surprise. Tuohy had to wait for the
pack to stretch back out before she made her move. Tuohy couldn’t recover and finished second. Roe’s push took her to the finish line with a time of eight minutes, 58.95 seconds. It was her first NCAA National Championship. Roe spoke to the media Tuesday. “It’s still sinking in,” Roe said. “I think every morning I’ve woken up it’s been a little bit more.” Roe and Smith shared a smile when asked if a national championship is what they expected when Smith began recruiting Roe. Smith emphasized the difficulty of getting a title. “You always hope, and you always dream, but you rarely see it happen,” Smith said. “As a coach who has been doing this for 25 years, did I think this was going to happen? No. I did not. What she did is extremely unlikely, which makes it great.” sports.ed@ocolly.com

WHEN IS LITTLE MUCH?
There is a short chorus that has encouraged me many times. “Little is much if God is in it. Labor not for wealth or fame. There’s a crown and you can win it. If you go in Jesus’ name.” The woman, who poured the precious ointment on Jesus just before he was crucified, was criticized for “wasting” this expensive item. Yet, Jesus said everywhere the gospel is preached this woman’s action would be told. (Mk 14:3-9) Little things mean a lot as we are willing to serve the Lord. Paul mentions many in Romans 16 who helped him. The Good Samaritan stopped to help the man beaten and robbed. (Lu.10:30-37) Paul writes as you have opportunity, do good to all men, especially to other believers.(Gal.6:10) When the poor widow dropped the two pennies, all that she had, into the temple offering. Jesus said she gave more the large offerings given. Her “large giving” was in relation to what she had. (Mk.12:41-44)
Many people may plan to give when they receive a great amount of money, but that large amount of money may never come. We may plan to give time or talent to a project when we have more time, but that perfect time arrangement may never happen. Again, the apostle Paul encourages us “as you have opportunity, do good to all men.” We never know when a little gesture of kindness, with money, or helping in an area of service, spending a little time with a person, a word of encouragement, will be just the action that will be a great help to someone. These can be practical ways of living out the Lord’s challenge to love one another. This is the fulfilling of the many commandments in the Bible: loving people by word and action.

Oklahoma State’s tasty tennis tradition Payton Little Staff Reporter
When thinking of tennis, many things come to mind. The back-and-forth rallies, the echoes of tennis rackets booming as contact is made with the ball or even screams of celebration when winning a set. For Oklahoma State, there is one tradition that is pretty unique. Ever since the Greenwood Tennis Center was built in 2014, Mike and Anne Greenwood have strived to build up the Cowboy and Cowgirl tennis fan bases. They use pizza.. At OSU tennis matches, admission is free and so is dinner. Simple Simon’s pizza can be found at nearly every home tennis event hosted in Stillwater. “We had no concessions,” Anne Greenwood said. “We were just trying to build our fan base so we said, ‘what if we brought in pizza? We’ll pay for it.’ The best part of this facility is the fans. We wanted to take it up a notch and also have dinner for our fans and hopefully build a fan base.” What started out as the Greenwood family rewarding tennis fans has now turned into a staple of the Greenwood Tennis Center. After enough time, Cowgirl tennis coach Chris Young has built the pizza into the overall tennis budget, establishing pizza as an Oklahoma State tradition. “We need to get the students more engaged with that,” Young said. “That’s always been my goal because I can’t imagine that the kids in the dorms wouldn’t want some free pizza.” Even the tennis athletes notice the pizza. It helps build bigger crowds and more electric environments. During the 2021 season, the pizza was put on hold due to COVID-19 protocols. This 2022 season marks the return of the GTC pizza, and Alana Wolfberg, a junior for the Cowgirls, has especially taken notice of the louder energy that has come with its return. “These are probably the biggest crowds I’ve seen since I’ve been in college,” Wolfberg said. “Obviously last year it was super restricted and so we kinda got used to playing in smaller crowds and we weren’t doing well so people weren’t coming.

Democratic lawmakers block GOP effort to end California COVID-19 state of emergency Phil Willon Los Angeles Times SACRAMENTO, Calif. — An effort by Republican state lawmakers to end Gov. Gavin Newsom’s COVID-19 state of emergency was blocked in the Democratic-controlled California Legislature on Tuesday. For more than a year, GOP lawmakers have accused the governor of abusing his executive powers to respond to the crisis and asked legislators to vote to end the emergency in a state Senate committee hearing Tuesday, arguing the declaration was no longer necessary and constituted government overreach. The Newsom administration has said that the more than 2-year-old state of emergency must stay in place to continue the state’s pandemic response. The Democratic governor has used that broad authority to waive statutes and laws to facilitate testing and vaccination programs, and to ensure that California had enough capacity in hospitals to handle caseload surges. State Sen. Melissa Melendez, a Lake Elsinore Republican, said that it’s the Legislature’s responsibility as a coequal branch of government to change the laws and statutes necessary to address the pandemic and that lawmakers have had more than two years to do so. She urged her colleagues not to abdicate that responsibility and noted that more than half the states in the country have ended their states of emergency and are still able to respond to the pandemic. “We ended school years and we shuttered businesses and we implemented lockdowns and we enforced remote work and we implemented all sorts of policies and testing,” Melendez said when arguing in favor of her resolution. “We have grown over the last few years. We are equipped to deal with this and this constant state of emergency is no longer necessary.” Melendez’s resolution failed in the Senate’s governmental operations committee by a 4-8 vote, split along party lines with a number of Democrats not voting. The measure is eligible to come up for reconsideration at a later date. During the debate, state Sen. Ben Allen, a Santa Monica Democrat, said that “it’s important that (the declara-
tion) be ended at some point,” but that he was concerned that doing so now would hinder the state’s aggressive efforts to provide free COVID-19 testing and therapeutics. Senate Governmental Organization Committee Chairman Bill Dodd, a Napa Democrat, praised Newsom’s response to the pandemic, saying the executive actions he’s taken have allowed California to fare better than many other states to combat the spread of the virus and reduce hospitalizations. “Nobody had a playbook on this thing. I think the governor got it right. I think he continues to get it right,” Dodd said before the vote. “The existing state of emergency proclaimed by the governor is absolutely important to ensure that the state can quickly and efficiently continue to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and be prepared for possible future variants and surges.” Since he declared a state of emergency on March 4, 2020, Newsom has issued 70 executive orders involving the COVID-19 pandemic that addressed a range of issues, including price gouging, allowing mobile vaccination clinics, halting evictions and postponing the deadline for filing tax returns in 2020. Most of those have either been rescinded or have expired. In February, the governor terminated 19 provisions in executive orders, which included requirements that all state-owned properties be made available for emergency. Another 18 provisions will expire at the end of March, including those that protect COVID-19 relief funds from garnishment and allow for virtual corporate and public meetings, according to Newsom’s office. Additional executive orders that limit liability for data breaches on telemedicine platforms and allow video assessments for those with COVID-19 symptoms who receive in-home supportive care are set to be rescinded on June 30. Under the 1970 California Emergency Services Act, the governor has broad authority to respond during a state of emergency such as a pandemic. The governor can make, amend and rescind state regulations and suspend state statutes, and has the power to redirect state funds to help in an emergency — even funds appropriated by the Legislature for an entirely different purpose. The

governor also has the authority to commandeer private property, including hospitals, medical labs, hotels and motels. Under the act, a state of emergency can only be rescinded by the governor or by a vote of the Legislature. Last year, the California Supreme Court upheld an appeals court ruling that affirmed Newsom’s emergency powers. Two state Republican lawmakers had challenged Newsom’s power, arguing he had no right to issue an executive order requiring ballots to be mailed to the state’s 22 million registered voters before the Nov. 3, 2020, election. Ann Patterson, the governor’s legal affairs secretary, said in February that rescinding the state of emergency would “cripple” California’s response to the pandemic. Under Newsom’s executive powers that will remain in place, the state will continue to largely waive licensing requirements for health care facilities,
workers and testing labs — actions designed to boost the state’s vaccination and testing capacity and expand the scope of practice for pharmacists, technicians and EMS workers. Kathryn Austin Scott of the California Hospital Association told lawmakers that, if the state of emergency ended, medical facilities would lose thousands of health care workers who were allowed to come in from outside California due to a licensing waiver issue by the governor. Patterson also said that all state mask and vaccine mandates, including those for schoolchildren and health care workers, were enacted under the state health and safety code. Even if the state of emergency ends, those mandates would remain in place until rescinded by the state’s top public health officer. ___ news.ed@ocolly.com

‘OBI-WAN KENOBI’ Trailer Recap
Courtesy of Tribune News Service Ewan McGregor, who plays the main character of Obi Wan-Kenobi, arrives at the 75th Annual Golden Globes in 2018.
Connor Gray Staff Reporter March 9 saw The Walt Disney Company hold their 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders Webcast. This event was much anticipated for fans of all things Disney because this is a time when Disney can give any updates on upcoming projects that will be hitting our screens soon. With photo stills being released a day prior and a poster a couple weeks beforehand, fans anticipated that the livestream may show us the first look at the “OBI-WAN KENOBI” TV show, and Disney did not disappoint with these expectations. The trailer opens with narration from Ewan McGregor, returning to his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi, saying “The fight is done. We lost,” as a slight arrangement of the iconic musical piece “Battle of the Heroes” by John Williams plays. The last time that Star Wars fans heard this music was during the final showdown between McGregor’s Kenobi and Hayden Christensen’s Anakin Skywalker in what was the emotional turning point in the entire Star Wars saga. Kenobi then says, “stay hidden,” as we see an
aged Ewan McGregor on the desert planet Tatooine looking at the first reveal of a young Luke Skywalker, played by Grant Feely at the Lars Homestead from the original “Star Wars” in 1977. From there, John Williams inserts the beloved “Duel of the Fates” theme as we get our first look at Fortress Inquisitorious from the 2019 video game, “Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.” We also see the Grand Inquisitor, played by Rupert Friend, for the first time in live action ever since his debut in the hit animated show, “Star Wars: Rebels.” His line, “the key to hunting Jedi is patience,” as he ignites his crimson lightsaber tells us everything we need to know about how endangered Obi-Wan is and the risk that puts his mission of protecting Luke Skywalker in. There are various other faces and places that we see in the trailer that are both familiar and unfamiliar. Joel Edgerton makes an appearance reprising his role from “Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith” as Owen Lars, the uncle of Luke and stepbrother to the villainous Darth Vader. Other inquisitors are also introduced such as the Moses Ingram’s never seen character, as well as another familiar face from “Star Wars: Rebels,” in Sung Kang’s Fifth Brother. The trailer shows us a lot of Tatooine which
makes sense because in the 19-year gap between Episodes three and four of the saga, Kenobi must keep a watchful eye out for Skywalker on the planet. Aside from Tatooine though, we are introduced to a planet that does not appear to be previously used and looks as if it takes a lot of inspiration from a Hong Kong aesthetic. Something interesting to note of a shot on this world, is that we see a standoff between an inquisitor and a hidden character with a gun eerily like Han Solo’s DL-44 blaster, but we will have to see on that. The trailer ends with the powerful music concluding with a mix of “Duel of the Fates” and “Anakin’s Dark Deeds” as the heavy and iconic mechanical breathing of none other than Darth Vader echoes behind the title card. This first look at “OBI-WAN KENOBI” certainly delivered a good tease of what is to come in this series and feels much like the Star Wars of old, largely in part to the music. “OBI-WAN KENOBI” premieres as a 6 episode limited series with each episode approximately an hour long. The series from a galaxy far, far away will land on Disney + on May 25, 2022. entertainment.ed@ocolly.com

Billie Eilish, BTS, Olivia Rodrigo to perform at 2022 Grammys

Courtesy of Tribune News Service Billie Eilish is set to perform at the 2022 Grammy awards after winning five Grammy awards in 2020.
Kate Feldman New York Daily News The Grammy Awards are already rolling out the red carpet. The first round of performers for next month’s show include Brothers Osborne, BTS, Brandi Carlile, Billie Eilish, Lil Nas X with Jack Harlow, and Olivia Rodrigo, CBS announced Tuesday. “The Daily Show” host Trevor Noah will host the 64th annual show from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, expected to be a return to normalcy after last year’s show was postponed, then muddled into a half-indoors, half-outdoors production during the pandemic. This year’s show was already postponed from a scheduled Jan. 31 date due to the omicron spike. The 2020 show snuck in just before the world shut down over COVID0-19. “Trevor was amazing as our host for the 63rd GRAMMY Awards with praise from the music community, music fans and critics,” Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. said in a statement when announcing Noah’s hosting gig in December. “We’re so excited to welcome Trevor back to the GRAMMYs stage and feel fortunate to once again have him hosting what we believe will be an unforgettable evening.” This will be the first time the Grammys have been held in Las Vegas, which has hosted the Latin Grammys 12 times since 2009. Jon Batiste, known best as the bandleader on “The Late Show with
Stephen Colbert,” leads the pack with 11 nominations for his albums “Freedom,” “We Are” and the soundtrack for Disney’s animated jazz movie “Soul.” Rodrigo, the 19-year-old first-time nominee, scored seven nods: record of the year (“Drivers License”), album of the year (“Sour”), song of the year (“Drivers License”), best new artist, best pop solo performance (“Drivers License”), best pop vocal album (“Sour”), and best music video (“Good 4 U”). Eilish also scored seven nominations, while Carlile has five of her own, including two up for song of the year. Brothers Osborne have been nominated for best country duo/group performance for “Younger Me” and best country album for “Skeletons.” K-pop sensations BTS are up for best pop duo/group performance for “Butter.” Lil Nas X, already a two-time winner, earned a string of nods for “Montero” and Harlow snagged two for his work on the same album. Ten performers will vie for album of the year: Batiste (“We Are”), Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga (“Love For Sale”), Justin Bieber (”Justice”), Doja Cat (”Planet Her”), Eilish (”Happier Than Ever”), Lil Nas X (”Montero”), H.E.R. (”Back of my Mind”), Rodrigo (“sour”), Taylor Swift (”Evermore”) and Kanye (”Donda”). The Grammys will air live on CBS on April 3, starting at 8 p.m. ET, as well as be available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+. entertainment.ed@ocolly.com
