Coffee on the go coming to Stillwater Carlie Hasty Sta f f r ep o rt e r @ o c o l ly

Rumors of a drive-thru Aspen Coffee Company have been circling campus for weeks.

Kelly Lyda, Aspen Coffee owner, confirmed the rumors.

“We will be opening in a few months with all of the customer favorites on the menu,” Lyda said.

While the menu is still pending, there are a few

items certain to be on the list, including the Granita, Aspen’s famous coffeeflavored frozen treat.

Aspen Coffee has three locations throughout Stillwater. The drive-thru will be at Duck Street and Maple Avenue where Quench Buds used to be, Lyda said.

The opening date has not been decided.

“The drive-thru Aspen underwent construction about a month ago and should be done in a few more,” said Hannah Fleshman, an employee at the Aspen on Perkins Road.

“The outside design will look like a log cabin, surrounded by a patio. You will be able to drive up to two different windows, but you can walk up to one window.”

The hope of creating an easier way to access locally brewed coffee spurred the idea of a drive-thru, Lyda said.

“We will not be sacrificing time for quality,” Lyda said.

“Our customer satisfaction is important to us.”

Accounting freshman Jessica Henson said the addition of another coffee venue close to campus might make the wait for coffee a bit shorter.

“The lines for coffee in the morning can be ridiculous,” Henson said. “Everyone has to have their morning coffee.”

The company has been searching for real estate near campus, but space is limited because of existing businesses and restaurants, Lyda

said.

“I’m glad Aspen found a spot near campus,” said Savannah Donica, an Aspen barista. “People are always wanting coffee in-between classes.”

Lyda said the drive-thru will not only be convenient for students, but also families.

“We want to make Aspen a place for college kids to get coffee, but also a place for families to go as well,” he said. “But it’s not always easy to get out of your car with kids.”

Those interested in working at the Aspen drive-thru can fill out an application inside the Aspen on Perkins Road. news@ocolly.com

Zack Furman/O’COLLY Aspen Coffee Company has three locations in Stillwater, and a fourth is on the way. The new Aspen will be a drive-thru.

Stillwater man pleads guilty to first-degree murder, sentenced to life without parole News I Isaiah Zoar Marin, 22, was charged with first-degree murder Oct. 30, the day he nearly beheaded Jacob Crockett. On Wednesday, he pleaded guilty.

Marin appeared before the court from the Payne County Jail with attorneys Peter Astor and Adam Haselgren, who stipulated that, according to an Oklahoma Forensic Center psychological evaluation, Marin was competent to K a e ly n n participate in court proKnoernschild ceedings.

Marin was deemed “not Ma naging E d i to r competent to stand trial” @ k a e ly n n _ k in April and objected to that evaluation at his June 1 court hearing.

Many of Crockett’s friends and family attended the hearing, and his immediate family members addressed the court, expressing how Marin’s isaiah Marin actions had personally affected them.

Ben Crockett, an OklaSniffles and sobs homa Highway Patrol filled the Payne County lieutenant and Crockett’s Courthouse Wednesday father, spoke first. morning as a Stillwater “This tragedy has man pleaded guilty to the absolutely ripped all of murder of a high school our hearts out,” Ben said. friend.

“I took the life of Jacob “hearty” laugh.

“Jacob, our sweet child, Crockett intentionally by he was so easy to love,” stabbing him to death,” Ben said. “None of us Marin told Special Judge Phillip Corley on Wednes- will ever be the same. We will forever cherish the 19 day.

years and three months we had with him.”

Ben said his twin boys, Jacob and Jesse, had been friends with Marin since high school.

Ben asked Marin how he committed such a horrible crime against his friend.

“They loved you, and they trusted you,” Ben said. “You are a coward. He never even had a chance. We feel your life should be over.”

Ben ended his emotional testimonial with more harsh words for Marin.

He told Marin that if and when he sees the gates of heaven, Jacob will be

there waiting for him with a loving smile on his face.

“You damn don’t deserve that,” he said.

Crockett’s mother, Ky, spoke of the pain the loss of her son has caused her over the last 10 months.

“The pain and heartache is simply unbearable,” Ky said. “The hole in my heart is sometimes too big to fill.”

Ky also told of how kind and loving Crockett was, claiming “he was the hands and feet of Christ.”

“Jacob always had a smile for those who needed it,” she said.

Ky said Wednesday was a day of justice for her son

and that Marin’s actions would not destroy her or her family.

Crockett’s twin brother, Jesse, 20, told the court he has two therapists and is on medication to help him cope with the death of his brother.

“My heart has been ripped out, trampled on and spit on,” Jesse said. “I can never see my brother get married, pursue his dreams, have kids or be called ‘Uncle Jesse.’”

Despite his loss, Jesse ended his statement by looking Marin in the eyes and granting forgiveness.

“I forgive you,” Jesse said. “I forgive you.”

After hearing the family’s statements, Corley sentenced Marin to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Marin will receive mental health treatment from the Department of Corrections.

Outside the courtroom, Ben spoke on behalf of his family and told reporters justice was served in his son’s case, for Marin will no longer be a threat to innocent people.

“These past 10 months have certainly been a nightmare ride,” he said.

“We felt all along that the suspect in this case deserved the death pen-

alty, but we had the utmost faith in the district attorney and her team and this was the route we needed to go.”

Ben said he credits close family members and God for helping his family through the tragedy.

“My family has a deep rooted faith in God,” he said. “We know that Jake is in heaven. We knew that the minute this happened, that has never been in question. Certainly, our hearts were broken and we miss him tremendously, but our knowledge that he is in heaven waiting on us — that gets us through the day.”

Ben said he and Ky will eventually be able to grant forgiveness to their son’s killer.

“Our forgiveness comes from God,” Ben said. “The father in me, the man in me, that’s a tough road.”

He said he and his wife are devoting their time and efforts to helping Jesse overcome the loss of his brother.

“Our focus right now is on our surviving twin son,” he said “We want to be that supportive family for him and make sure he makes it through this.” news@ocolly.com

After shaky first half, Cowboys beat CMU 24-13

Chandler Vessels SP ORT S r ep o rt e r @ChandlerVessels

Oklahoma State football coach Mike Gundy stood on the sideline in Mount Pleasant, Michigan, with a look of bewilderment on his face.

Cowboys kicker Ben Grogan had just missed his second field goal of the game.

It was that kind of night for OSU, despite the Cowboys’ 24-13 win over Central Michigan in their season opener Thursday night. The Cowboys would consistently put themselves in position to score, but often times failed to capitalize. The first drive of the game ended with Zach Sinor punting from the CMU 49-yard line.

On the ensuing drive, after Tre Flowers intercepted CMU’s Cooper Rush, OSU couldn’t even move the ball the 11 yards needed for a touchdown. The Cowboys settled for a field goal.

The Cowboys started the season 1-0, but it felt hollow.

OSU eventually picked it up near the end of the first quarter, when Mason Rudolph connected with Jhajuan Seales for a 21-yard pass to once again put the Cowboys in the red zone.

Chris Carson and Rennie Childs helped the Cowboys pound their way to the goal line, where J.W. Walsh

eventually scampered into the end zone. But even that almost didn’t happen. A CMU penalty the play before aided the Cowboys, giving them a second chance at third down.

The Cowboys had a 10-6 lead at halftime.

The opening drive of the second half ended with Rush scrambling for a 16-yard touchdown. The Chippewas had their first lead of the game, 13-10.

But it would be the last for CMU as the Cowboys’ defense tightened up.

“I thought our defense played pretty well in the second half,” Gundy said.

“We tackled better. Their quarterback’s a good player, so we knew we’d have some issues with him. But too many penalties and we’ve got to be better in the kicking game. But overall, to start the season, it’s a win for us, so I’m happy for the team.”

Rudolph kept the quarterback touchdown trend going with a 21-yard running score on the Cowboys’ next drive to put them back on top.

It wasn’t until the fourth quarter that a quarterback actually threw for a touchdown. Rudolph passed for 18 yards to Marcell Ateman, giving the Cowboys their largest lead.

To his credit, Rudolph did not look like a player playing in just his fourth game. The sophomore played with poise as he passed for 266 yards and a touchdown without throwing any interceptions.

Carson showed why he earned the starting running back position. The first-year junior college transfer rushed for 89 yards on 21 carries,

displaying his power and vision as he shed tacklers and found holes to run through.

It wasn’t a pretty win, but thanks to a stellar second half, the Cowboys were able to get the victory. sports@ocolly.com

INSIDER From OSU Communications

ALCOHOL MAJOR FACTOR IN CAMPUS SAFETY

LIFESAVER Automated external defibrillators (like the one seen on the left) are now carried in every OSU Police Department patrol unit. The AED is used in combination with CPR on individuals suffering from sudden cardiac arrest. Besides the police patrol vehicles, AEDs are also located in high-traffic areas across campus.

Story By Alex Marianos September is National Campus Safety Awareness Month and over the next few weeks Oklahoma State University will be offering several additional educational opportunities to become informed about safety topics including sexual violence, alcohol awareness and bystander awareness.

Although OSU is located in one of the safest communities in the country and the campus continues to be one of the safest in this region, much of the safety of the campus is determined by the ability of individuals to take control of their own personal safety.

“Oklahoma State University has made a commitment to and investment in the safety of this campus,” said Chief Public Safety Officer Michael Robinson. “In addition to a highly trained and certified police department with more than 30 officers, the university has invested in technology, emergency preparedness, and educating our students and employees about safety issues.”

Educational programs are important to supporting safety on campus. OSU police officers take part in outreach efforts that not only educate but also help to deter dangerous incidents and crime from occurring.

Adam Queen is the C-CASE officer for the OSU Police Department. C-CASE stands for Campus and Community Alcohol and Safety Education. The main focus of his work is to educate students about the dangers of irresponsible alcohol use, which happens to be one of the biggest obstacles to safety on this and most college campuses.

“When a person introduces alcohol into their body, the ability to make sound studentconduct.okstate.edu/smart decisions is reduced,” says Queen. “The greater the consumption, the greater the risk of

making a bad decision. Unfortunately, sometimes these bad decisions lead to situations that can end in deadly accidents or a crime of a sexual nature.”

According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, students between the ages of 18 and 24 are more likely to be assaulted by another student who has been drinking and experience alcohol-related sexual assault or date rape at a higher rate.

OSU also provides resources through the Alcohol and Substance Abuse Center located in University Counseling Services. Kara Niccum is a alcohol and substance abuse counselor.

“Alcohol and drug use have the potential to become problematic for college students due to several factors. Many students come into college having already experienced substance use and/or expect that substance use will be part of their college experience,” said Niccum. "When you combine college students newfound independence with their age groups developmental tendency toward risk taking and seeking peer approval, the combination can lead to problematic substance use.

In addition, pressure to succeed academically, manage their finances, establish a peer group/dating relationship, all while discovering their identity and making decisions about their future can lead to substance use in an effort to manage mounting stress.”

OSU’s Student Conduct Education and Administration has information about drinking responsibly and safely.

Those tips can be found at https://studentconduct. okstate.edu/smart In addition, if you believe that you have an issue with alcohol or substance abuse, students can visit the Alcohol and Substance Abuse Center on campus to get information about alcohol and substance abuse, DUI assessments, interventions, counseling and more. Visit their website at http://ucs.okstate.edu/ for more information.

OSU taking businesslike approach on Florida trip Jordan Bishop S p o rt s Rep o rt e r @Jordanbishop35

The palm trees and beaches won’t be on the Cowgirls’ minds.

Even though Labor Day weekend in Florida seems like a vacation, Oklahoma State soccer is there for business.

The Cowgirls won’t have time for anything else, for they play the No. 5 Gators on Friday night at 7 and then No. 19 UCF at 11 a.m. Sunday. Although most of the OSU soccer team has been on crosscountry trips, for some players like freshman forward Marlo Zoller, it will be the first time.

Zoller has made a big impact on the Cowgirls’ season so far, especially against Georgia where she started and played 70 minutes. Zoller also scored in that game on a 30-yard kick from the far right side of the field to help lead OSU over the Bulldogs.

She has been calm under the pressure of adjusting from the high school game to the speed of college, and Zoller hasn’t let anything distract her. She said she hoped the Cowgirls would get an upset over the weekend and get some national

recognition.

“We can go and tear them up hopefully,” Zoller said.

This is the third straight year the Cowgirls (2-1) have played Florida and they have yet to score against the Gators. OSU coach Colin Carmichael has changed up his game plan lately, though. After a Bedlam loss on Aug. 28, Carmichael decided to tweak his strategy against Georgia. A 4-0 victory against the Bulldogs caused him to say after the game he would probably be changing his strategy the rest of the season. This weekend will be no different.

“We’ve got something in mind,” Carmichael said.

“Florida is a great team; they possess the ball as well as any team in the country. They make you work so hard defensively — you can’t switch off.

We’ve got one or two little things we want to throw at them.”

The Cowgirls will be playing UCF for the first time. The Golden Knights (3-1) will play Ole Miss on Friday before facing OSU. UCF’s only loss this season was to Florida in its season opener. The key player on the Knights is senior midfielder Ashely Spivey, who leads UCF with three goals.

The Gators (3-1) are coming off of a win over defending national champion Florida State on Sunday.

goals. OSU will counter Jordan with sophomore forward Holly Brehmer, whose three goals leads both the Cowgirls and the Big 12. Brehmer has come seemingly out of nowhere for the Cowgirls after an offseason where she worked on conditioning and ball drills so she could get more minutes. It has paid off so far for Brehmer and OSU. Brehmer has played more minutes every game as she continues to impress the coaching staff.

Most anticipated video games of Fall 2015

BY Bran d on S c h m it z En te rta i n me n t R e po rt er

The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes Releases Oct. 23 for Nintendo 3DS

The “Zelda” series is no stranger to cooperative multiplayer, but “Tri Force Heroes” brings that experience to the online space.

Aesthetically modeled after 2013’s “A Link Between Worlds,” the game brings three Links together to fight and think through various dungeons.

Virtually every “Zelda” entry boasts its distinguishing features, but “Heroes” represents a significant break from tradition.

Link’s latest adventure not only places a strong emphasis on online multiplayer, but it also forgoes an interconnected overworld. Instead, the purity of the franchise’s dungeon-crawling experience takes center stage.

Admittedly, depending on how much a fan values intense exploration, these could be seen as negative qualities. However, based on everything that has been shown so far, “Heroes” is shaping up to be a worthwhile experiment.

Halo 5: Guardians Releases Oct. 27 for Xbox One

Master Chief is back with his first proper adventure of this console generation. Thankfully,

Microsoft “Halo 5: Guardians” releases Oct. 27 for Xbox One. Players will fight from two perspectives in the game.

343 Industries has remained tight-lipped about the story, but we have just enough exciting tidbits.

Players will fight from two perspectives throughout the single player campaign: that of Master Chief and that of newcomer Spartan Locke, each of whom leads a four-man fire team.

The former has gone missing — and perhaps rogue — causing the latter to track him down.

Considering the Chief’s status as a video game icon, “Halo 5” has the opportunity to cast him in a refreshing light.

Similar to “Tri Force Heroes,” “Guardians” is geared more toward cooperative play. Each player controls a different member of — depending on the level — either Chief or Locke’s team, providing unique perspectives within the squads.

The campaign isn’t all fans have to look forward to, though, for competitive multiplayer is another one of the series’ defining features. One of the new game types, Warzone,

especially, looks like not only a natural evolution of Big Team Battle, but also a culmination of “Halo’s” strongest elements.

Star Fox Zero

Releases Nov. 20 for Wii U Among the myriad annualized properties out there, it’s exciting to see a beloved series return after a decade-long hiatus.

Everyone’s favorite spacefaring woodland animals are set to return in a big way with “Star Fox Zero.” With “Bayonetta’s” Platinum Games developing the project alongside Nintendo, the rail shooter looks to return the series to its roots.

If the familiar locales and supposed lack of on-foot combat are any indication, then “Zero” is poised to be a worthy spiritual successor to “Star Fox 64.” You know, one of the most re-playable games out there? No pressure. digital.ed@ocolly.com
