SPECIAL REPORT: BREAKING THE CYCLE | Day 2

Despite a four-year downswing, damaging earthquake risk remains

By Corey Jones Tulsa World

Oklahoma is well on pace for a fourth straight annual drop in seismicity, despite a May earthquake near Medford with a magnitude 4.5 — tied for the state’s 13th largest ever.

There have been 27 earthquakes of magnitude 3.0 or greater in the first half of 2019.

That is 72% fewer than at this time in 2018 (97) and 433% fewer than 2017 (144). But the rate remains substantially higher than the historical activity of two or three a year at 3.0 magnitude before induced »» See Quakes, page A3

Turning counseling into an art form PACES

By Guerin Emig

PACEs — Protective and Compensatory Experiences — are known to act as buffers or insulators against trauma, as well as promote healing.

Most prominent is the unconditional love of a parent or mentor — like a coach. Other therapies include strengthening relationships, mindfulness, exercise or physical activity, and hobbies or clubs.

School’s out for summer and some fraudsters with stolen identity information apparently see that as an opportunity to cash in.

School districts across the state, including some in the Tulsa area, are reporting a sudden uptick in fraudulent unemployment claims for people still employed in schools. State officials say such claims have soared nationally since a massive data breach in September 2017 at one of the nation’s largest credit reporting companies exposed the personal information of 145.5 million U.S. consumers.

Drugmaker says state wants a ‘scapegoat’ Defense seeks judgment in company’s favor without additional testimony

By Nolan Clay The Oklahoman

NORMAN — The judge overseeing the state’s opioid case is being asked to end the trial “here and now.”

“The State has used this trial — and a slew of illogical, legally defective theories far outside the bounds of Oklahoma precedent — not to ‘abate’ anything but to find a scapegoat,” attorneys for Johnson & Johnson and its subsidiaries argue.

The drugmaker is asking Cleveland County District Judge Thad Balkman to issue a judgment in its favor without hearing any further testimony.

Defense attorneys filed the request Wednesday morning after the state’s final witness, a former drug sales rep, testified. Such motions made at the midpoint of civil trials are often routinely rejected with little discussion.

The judge, though, has set aside two hours to hear the request on Monday, the 28th day of the historic trial.

At the trial, the state of Oklahoma is asking the judge to hold Johnson & Johnson and its

subsidiaries accountable for an opioid epidemic that has killed close to 7,000 Oklahomans. The state wants the judge to order the drugmaker to pay more than $17.5 billion to abate a public nuisance.

Johnson & Johnson contends it actually was an afterthought in a case built for much of the past two years against Purdue Pharma “and its flagship product, OxyContin.” The state settled with Purdue Pharma before trial for $270 million and with generic drugmaker Teva Pharmaceuticals USA for $85 million.

“Having compromised with the manufacturers of the drugs that fueled its crisis, the State and its contingency counsel pivoted, training their sights on a defendant they believe can satisfy an astronomical judgment,” defense attorneys told the judge in a 121-page legal filing.

In the legal filing, the attorneys argue a judgment in favor of Johnson & Johnson is warranted on both legal and factual grounds including their claim the state shares blame for the crisis.

The state is asking for the trial to proceed.

“If the kind of conduct that you have seen and heard and witnessed with your own eyes over the last month and a half isn’t the kind of conduct that ris-

Johnson & Johnson created a mutant strain of poppy in 1994 that allowed it to manufacture and supply massive amounts of opioids. For years, Johnson & Johnson supplied more than 60 percent of all active ingredients for opioids manufactured and sold in the United States.”

Mike Hunter Oklahoma attorney general es to a nuisance here in the state of Oklahoma, then we should all go lock ourselves in a very safe and secure dungeon and make sure we never come out again,” state attorney Brad Beckworth

told the judge last week.

In a response Sunday, the state told the judge defense attorneys had raised nothing new in last week’s legal filing — “nothing this Court has not already rejected.”

In the legal filing and a onepage summary sent to the media, Johnson & Johnson sharply criticized Attorney General Mike Hunter for making the public nuisance claim.

“Even as the attorney general argues for a far-reaching application of public nuisance law in this case, the attorney general argues just the opposite in a climate change case in California” involving oil producers, Johnson & Johnson said in the summary.

In a statement about the criticism, Hunter told The Oklahoman it was absurd to compare the opioid epidemic to climate change.

“The opioid epidemic can be curtailed through a discernible and focused series of actions, including education, prevention, treatment and enjoining deceptive marketing practices. Climate change, on the other hand, is a hypothetical global phenomenon with countless factors and influences, such that attempted abatement via a judicial order ... is totally inapplicable,” Hunter said.

In blaming Johnson & Johnson for the opioid epidemic, the

state put on evidence two former subsidiaries sold the raw materials to other drugmakers.

“Johnson & Johnson created a mutant strain of poppy in 1994 that allowed it to manufacture and supply massive amounts of opioids,” Hunter said in a news release last week after the state rested its case. “For years, Johnson & Johnson supplied more than 60 percent of all active ingredients for opioids manufactured and sold in the United States.”

Johnson & Johnson told the judge, though, that the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration carefully regulated and specifically authorized those sales.

“The theory fails because Tasmanian Alkaloids and Noramco sold their products under strict international and federal regulatory systems that state tort law cannot second-guess,” defense attorneys wrote in the legal filing.

The judge is expected to rule on the defense request Monday afternoon. If the trial continues, more defense witnesses will testify this week. Six have testified so far. Testimony could wrap up this week or early next week.

The judge will then hear closing arguments and announce the verdict in August. nclay@oklahoman.com

reported receiving nearly 30 such claims in the last two weeks, compared to less than 20 in a typical year.

“One day last week, 20 claims came through in one minute. They appear to be taking advantage of the fact that it’s a holiday week and people are out (of the office),” said Jay Loegering, executive director of human resources at Union. “Some school districts close for a couple of weeks or a month during the summer, and if you don’t respond within a certain period of time, those funds automatically get paid out.”

Oklahoma State School Boards Association represents 370 of Oklahoma’s

512 school districts on unemployment claims.

“Based on what we know, there has been a tremendous increase this year, going from almost none to large amounts,” said Brandon Carey, an attorney at OSSBA. “Since January, we have received 337 fraudulent claims for districts we represent, compared to 10 in a typical year previously.”

The Oklahoma Employment Security Commission gives employers a 10-day window to respond to unemployment claims before payments could be sent out. That has had school officials and employees at OSSBA working for them on these matters scrambling.

“What we do is make sure we are responding

quickly. A lot of times these are individuals currently working for districts who have had their information stolen. The district needs to contact the employee quickly and get them to write out a statement that can be sent to OESC fraud hotline,” Carey said.

And even if there is obviously flawed information on the claim, such as mismatched Social Security numbers and names or even misspelled names, Loegering said the state has paid out on some fraudulent claims.

“We have to answer each one of these like it’s a true claim,” he said. “We have to pull employment records and we’re getting written statements from employees that they are still employed with us. We

have been instructing our employees to file police reports because the employee would be earning income that’s reported to IRS that they don’t know about and didn’t receive — so there are consequences both for employer and employees.”

Government entities, including public schools, pay the actual costs of unemployment benefits for their eligible, former employees through reimbursement to the state insurance fund.

“All districts get a quarterly statement of unemployment payments. We are emphasizing the need to respond quickly if they have any indication that this is fraud to contact the fraud hotline and closely review their quarterly statements,” said Carey.

“For our members, we do a lot of that work for them. It has been really busy. The bigger districts were getting most of the fraudulent claims earlier in the year. That seems to be spreading and there has been an uptick in the Tulsa area and those suburban districts.”

Shalonda Sanders, compliance director at the state Employment Security Commission, said the agency has been implementing new safeguards to try to prevent and identify possible fraud.

“We started noticing it late last year. It’s really been a national trend, unfortunately,” said Sanders.

“It’s these gangs of people in different states — Florida, Georgia, Michigan and even in New York and some

seismicity took hold.

The most in a year was 903 in 2015, of which 27 were at least magnitude 4.0.

State Seismologist Jake Walter said Oklahoma, particularly the north-central area, still has a high likelihood for a damaging quake in the next several years based on the observed seismicity.

So Oklahomans shouldn’t be complacent or think seismic activity has returned to more normal levels that have been seen in the past.

“If you take the last five years and compare the number of 3.0s in Oklahoma relative to the number of 3.0s in California, Oklahoma has had more earthquake activity than the state of California,” Walter said.

He said researchers are still unraveling the finer points of how man-made earthquakes work.

For example, there was a recent magnitude 2.7 quake near Cushing. The question becomes: Was it an aftershock from the 5.0 in November 2016, or is it from continued wastewater injection even though the disposal now is in a shallower formation?

State regulators have imposed volume caps on the deepest disposal wells in a 15,000-square-mile area of interest prone to induced seismicity. Some well operators have avoided the restrictions by plugging back wells into shallower formations or moving ac-

tivity into other areas.

“There’s still a lot to be done to understand induced seismicity, and what we learn will better inform regulators and the public and enhance public safety in general,” Walter said.

A project the Oklahoma Geological Survey is conducting compares aftershock zones in the state.

Walter said large earthquakes near Pawnee, Cushing and Cherokee had fewer aftershocks than Fairview. He explained that the Oklahoma Corporation Commission reacted more strongly and swiftly to the others and not Fairview because the Fairview quakes were much farther from disposal wells.

“There’s still a load of research questions we’re trying to answer because I think some of these answers might assist the OCC in intelligently regulating induced seismicity and protecting the public,” Walter said.

The U.S. Geological Survey the past three years has produced a short-term hazard forecast for induced seismicity that put Oklahoma’s risk in some areas on the same level as the shakiest parts of Cali-

fornia.

The federal agency didn’t do a forecast for 2019. A USGS spokesman said the agency is unlikely to do another one in the future.

“The reason is because that induced seismicity has been decreasing every year since we did our first forecast back in 2015-2016, and as such, we’re moving on to different priorities,” said Drew LaPointe, a USGS public affairs specialist. “The long-term forecast we’ll be releasing in the next few weeks for 2019 mentions this decrease in activity as well, but not in great detail.”

Walter said that viewpoint represents a lack of federal interest in longterm monitoring of induced seismicity in the central U.S. He also called it a significant public relations matter for Oklahoma.

Businesses looking to relocate here and insurance companies have contacted Walter to better understand the seismic hazard.

The USGS forecast for 2018 showed a broadening of the area considered to be at an elevated risk.

“So unless it gets updated, that document isn’t

representative of the seismic hazard as it exists today,” Walter said.

Financier due in court over sex crime charges Registered sex offender Jeffrey Epstein faces new federal case

By Michael R. Sisak and Jim Mustian Associated Press

NEW YORK — Wealthy financier and registered sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is due in court following an arrest in New York on new sex-trafficking charges involving allegations that date to the early 2000s, according to law enforcement officials.

Epstein Epstein, a wealthy hedge fund manager who once counted as friends former President Bill Clinton, Great Britain’s Prince Andrew and President Donald Trump, was taken into federal custody Saturday and is expected to appear Monday in Manhattan federal court, three law enforcement officials told The Associated Press.

One of the officials said Epstein is accused of paying underage girls for massages and molesting them at his homes in Florida and New York.

The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the pending case.

A message was sent to Epstein’s defense attorney seeking comment. Epstein is being held at the Metro-

politan Correctional Center in Manhattan, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons website.

Epstein’s arrest, first reported by The Daily Beast, comes amid renewed scrutiny of a oncesecret plea deal that ended a federal investigation against him.

That deal, which is being challenged in Florida federal court, allowed Epstein, who is now 66, to plead guilty to lesser state charges of soliciting and procuring a person under age 18 for prostitution.

Averting a possible life sentence, Epstein was instead sentenced to 13 months in jail. The deal also required he reach financial settlements with dozens of his once-teenage victims and register as a sex offender.

Epstein’s deal was overseen by former Miami U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta, who is now Trump’s labor secretary. Acosta has defended the plea deal as appropriate under the circumstances, though the White House said in February that it was “looking into” his handling of the deal.

U.S. District Judge Kenneth Marra of Florida ruled earlier this year that Epstein’s victims should have been consulted under federal law about the deal, and he is now weighing whether to invalidate the non-prosecution agreement, or NPA, that protected Epstein from federal charges.

It was not immediately clear whether the cases involved the same victims since nearly all have re-

mained anonymous.

Federal prosecutors recently filed court papers in the Florida case contending Epstein’s deal must stand.

“The past cannot be undone; the government committed itself to the NPA, and the parties have not disputed that Epstein complied with its provisions,” prosecutors wrote in the filing.

They acknowledged, however, that the failure to consult victims “fell short of the government’s dedication to serve victims to the best of its ability” and that prosecutors “should have communicated with the victims in a straightforward and transparent way.”

The victims in the Florida case have until Monday to respond to the Justice Department’s filing.

According to court records in Florida, authorities say at least 40 underage girls were brought into Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion for what turned into sexual encounters after female fixers looked for suitable girls locally and in Eastern Europe and other parts of the world.

Some girls were also allegedly brought to Epstein’s homes in New York City, New Mexico and a private Caribbean island, according to court documents.

Saturday’s arrest also came just days after a federal appeals court in New York ordered the unsealing of nearly 2,000 pages of records in a since-settled defamation case involving Epstein.

NEWS BRIEFS After quakes, Californians prepare for next big one RIDGECREST, Calif. — Shaken residents were cleaning up Sunday from two of the biggest earthquakes to rattle California in decades as scientists warn that both should serve as a wake-up call to be ready when the longdreaded “Big One” strikes.

California is spending more than $16 million to install thousands of quake-detecting sensors statewide that officials say will give utilities and trains precious seconds to shut down before the shaking starts.

Gov. Gavin Newsom said it’s time residents did their part by mapping out emergency escape routes and preparing earthquake kits with food, water, lights and other necessities.

A magnitude 6.4 earthquake Thursday and a magnitude 7.1 quake Friday were centered 11 miles from the small desert town of Ridgecrest, about 150 miles from Los Angeles.

A graphic posted on Twitter by Indonesia’s geophysics agency predicted waves of 1.6 feet for parts of North Sulawesi and North Maluku. There were no immediate reports of major damage or casualties.

Iran exceeds nuke limits Iran raises level of uranium enrichment, says it remains open to talks to save deal

By Jon Gambrell and Nasser Karimi Associated Press

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran increased its uranium enrichment Sunday beyond the limit allowed by its 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, inching its program closer toward weapons-grade levels while calling for a diplomatic solution to a crisis heightening tensions with the U.S. Iran’s move, coupled with earlier abandoning the deal’s limit on its lowenriched uranium stockpile, intensifies pressure on Europe to find any effective way around U.S. sanctions that block Tehran’s oil sales abroad.

But the future of the accord that President Donald Trump unilaterally pulled the U.S. from a year ago remains in question. While Iran’s recent measures could be easily reversed, Europe has struggled to respond, even after getting a 60day warning that the increase was coming.

Meanwhile, experts fear a miscalculation in the crisis could explode into open conflict, as Trump already has nearly bombed Iran over Tehran shooting down a U.S. military surveillance drone.

Trump warned Tehran on Sunday that “Iran better be careful.” He didn’t elaborate on what actions the U.S. might consider, but Trump told reporters: “Iran’s doing a lot of bad things.”

International reaction to Iran’s decision came swiftly, with Britain

From left, spokesman for Iran’s atomic agency Behrouz Kamalvandi, Iran’s government spokesman Ali Rabiei and Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, attend a press briefing in Tehran, Iran, on Sunday. The deputy foreign minister says that his nation considers the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers to be a “valid document” and seeks its continuation­. Ebrahim Noroozi/AP

warning Iran to “immediately stop and reverse all activities” violating the deal, Germany saying it is “extremely concerned,” and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a longtime critic of the accord, urging world powers to impose so-called “snapback sanctions.”

The European Union said parties to the deal are discussing a possible emergency meeting after Iran’s announcement, with EU spokeswoman Maja Kocijancic saying the bloc is “extremely concerned” about the move.

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tweeted: “Iran’s latest expansion of its nuclear program will lead to further isolation and sanctions. Nations should restore the longstanding standard of no enrichment for Iran’s nuclear program. Iran’s regime, armed with nuclear weapons, would pose an even greater danger to the world.”

At a news conference, Iranian officials said the new level of uranium enrichment would be reached later in the day, but did not provide the percentage they planned to hit. Under the nuclear

deal, the cap for enrichment was set at 3.67%, a percentage closely monitored by inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N.’s nuclear watchdog.

“Within hours, the technical tasks will be done and enrichment above 3.67% will begin,” Iran nuclear agency spokesman Behrouz Kamalvandi said. “We predict that the IAEA measurements early tomorrow morning will show that we have gone beyond 3.67%.”

Ali Akbar Velayati, an aide to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, made remarks in a video Saturday about Iran’s need for 5% enrichment.

Bushehr, Iran’s only nuclear power plant, is now running on imported fuel from Russia that’s enriched to around 5%.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif sent a letter to EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini outlining the steps it had taken, said Abbas Araghchi, a deputy foreign minister.

“We will give another 60-day period, and then we will resume the reduction of our commitments,” Araghchi said, without elaborating.

No home, no mail, no health care State prepares to deny Medicaid to people who can’t get mail Some 5,600 Tulsans — according to the latest count — were homeless at some point last year.

The figures were the result of the Community Service Council’s annual census of homeless people, released this month.

That number was down a little compared to 2018, which is good, but really in the same range of the past several years.

On average, homeless Tulsans needed 27 days to secure housing again, and 65% were homeless for the first time. The council’s “point in time” count for Jan. 24 showed 1,188 people were in various shelters or on the street; 288 of them were children.

We wonder if any of those people might have had trouble picking up their mail.

It’s not an idle curiosity because the Oklahoma Healthcare Authority is getting ready to deny Medicaid assistance to Oklahomans whose mail is returned to the agency undelivered. The authority says it has little choice in the matter, but it’s a heartless rule that misunderstands the lives of many of the people served

by Medicaid, including a lot of those 5,600 Tulsans.

In a newsletter to supporters, Oklahoma Institute for Child Advocacy CEO Joe Dorman reported that 2% of a recent mailer by the authority to SoonerCare clients were returned undelivered and half of those people had no email address on file with the agency.

A spokeswoman says the agency hasn’t actually started looking for whom to take off Medicaid because they can’t receive mail and won’t be ready to start kicking people off Medicaid until this fall, but Dorman’s numbers are still interesting. At any given time, the state has almost 800,000 people on Medicaid; 1 percent of that number is 8,000, most of whom are children, the vast majority of whom, we believe, are legitimate Medicaid recipients. Except that they can’t receive mail.

And in Oklahoma your ability to get health care can depend on exactly that.

New compacts must protect tribes and state

By Gov. Kevin Stitt

Fifteen years ago, the citizens of Oklahoma approved State Question 712, and the Oklahoma Legislature passed laws permitting the state to enter into gaming “compacts” with the federally recognized Indian tribes located in Oklahoma.

Stitt Within a few years, Oklahoma led the nation in the number of tribal gaming casinos and was near the top in terms of gaming revenue. By any measure, Oklahoma’s tribal gaming industry, and its economic impact on our state, have been a huge success and emerged as a big business. As a Cherokee citizen and governor of the great state of Oklahoma, I am

Editorial Board

proud of what this partnership has accomplished.

Today, tribal gaming is the eighth-largest industry in Oklahoma. We are now the third-largest gaming market in the country, behind only Nevada and California, generating an estimated $4.5 billion in annual revenue for the tribes, and home to the world’s largest casino.

Moreover, in large part due to the success of the gaming partnership between the state and the tribes, the tribes have become the third-largest employer in the state, providing jobs to more than 54,000 Oklahomans.

The agreements between the state and the tribes giving them exclusivity to the gaming industry are, however, terminating as of Jan. 1, 2020, and it is imperative that we come to terms on new compacts prior

to the end of the year.

The easiest thing to do is simply renew the existing compacts “as is,” rather than do the hard work of closely reviewing and negotiating new compacts that reflect the state of affairs today. I believe, however, that voters elected me to look at everything in state government with a fresh eye and, where necessary, make the difficult decisions that are in the best interest of all 4 million Oklahomans.

In this case, that means sitting down with our tribal partners to discuss how to bring these 15-year-old compacts to an agreement that reflects market conditions for the gaming industry seen around the nation today. My intent is that any new agreement protects the dynamic success of economic growth and development for our tribal partners,

Gloria Fletcher �������������President and Publisher Wayne Greene ����������������� Editorial Pages Editor Ginnie Graham ���������������������������Editorial Writer

while also fairly building the state of Oklahoma to the benefit of every citizen.

For example, 15 years ago the tribal gaming industry in Oklahoma did not exist. To incentivize this industry from its infancy, the current agreement provides that, in exchange for “exclusive rights” to conduct gaming in Oklahoma, the tribes pay the state an “exclusivity fee” starting at 4% and topping at 6% of revenues received. This was reasonable and fair to help introduce the gaming industry in Oklahoma to the world in 2004. Today, Oklahoma’s fees are the lowest in the nation.

Today, most state-tribal compacts around the country provide for exclusivity fees to the state of 20% to 25%. In fact, in November 2018, voters in our neighboring state of Arkansas approved four new casinos in the state, two of

which will be bid on by tribes from Oklahoma, according to media reports. In Arkansas, the fee will start at 13% and max out at 20%.

As your governor, I am absolutely committed to reaching new agreements with our tribal partners that recognize their historic and significant economic contributions to Oklahoma and provide a framework for them to have even more continued economic growth in the years ahead.

I am committed to representing you in a manner that reflects the current fair-market contribution to the growth of the gaming industry and puts all parties in a position to achieve new heights of success for today’s citizens and future generations of Oklahomans.

Kevin Stitt is the governor of Oklahoma.

“At the time, these behaviors were solutions to a larger problem,” Hays-Grudo said.

“The larger problem is the fact that either you are a child being abused or neglected and feeling hopeless, or you’re an adult who didn’t develop the ability to soothe and regulate your emotions when you’re stressed.

“And in fact, your body didn’t develop the ability to help you do that. You might want to do that, but your body is programmed to get upset and stay upset because life is dangerous. That’s what your body learned as a child.”

Examples of long-term ramifications include premature death in adults, according to a study published in 2009 in the American Journal of Preventative Medicine.

Participants were questioned in 1996 and 1997 about potential ACEs under eight categories. People with an ACE score of 6 or higher were found to have died nearly 20 years earlier on average than those with no ACEs. As transformative as germ

THE ACES PYRAMID

Adverse childhood experiences Social conditions / Local context Generational embodiment / Historical trauma

The ACE pyramid depicts the unproven but theorized progression from conception to death of how Adverse Childhood Experiences influence a person’s health and ability to function.

The two foundational layers are based on research that indicates trauma may have roots in family histories or local socioeconomic conditions and can be passed through genetics to offspring.

ACEs themselves disrupt a brain’s development, with immediate and lasting consequences. Insufficient or maladaptive brain growth gives rise to social, emotional and cognitive dysfunction.

To cope with their trauma, a person self-soothes by engaging in unhealthy or risky behaviors. Those behaviors increase health risks — disease, disability and social problems — that accumulate and become chronic.

Poor health and disease contribute to early death.

Gaps in scientific understanding exist between each of the connected layers up to the adoption of unhealthy behavior.

theory was more than a century ago, ACEs appear poised to have a global effect.

Hays-Grudo noted how germ theory prompted wholesale changes in hospital policies and procedures to block the transmission of germs.

Doctors no longer simply used the same instruments from patient to patient like during the Civil War. The ongoing paradigm shift in how trauma affects developing brains has reverberated through scientific circles for two decades and now is beginning to filter more into public consciousness and practice.

Hence the more nuanced and illuminating question, “What’s happened to him or her?”

Suffering adolescents pursue risky but soothing behaviors Children raised in traumatic environments grow up chasing instant and soothing behaviors. Think smoking or drinking or sex.

Depicted in an eight-stack pyramid, the unproven but promising theory describes how Adverse Childhood Ex-

periences influence a person’s functioning and well-being from conception to death.

The pyramid’s base is generational embodiment or historical trauma, followed by social conditions and local context. ACEs disrupt neurodevelopment, which then leads to social, emotional and cognitive impairment. In turn, health-risk behaviors are adopted and cultivate disease, disability and social problems.

Early death tops the pyramid.

Clancy, who also serves on the Laureate Institute for Brain Research advisory board, said the best interruption points to stop harmful programming of the brain are at home. But often those environments are chaotic.

So the next best option is schools, which must be a neighborhood’s anchor and safe place, Clancy said.

Kristin Atchley, former executive director of counseling at the Oklahoma Department of Education, said educators often have viewed in-school suspension and other punishment as appropriate ways to correct “bad” or “difficult” kids.

Actually, the “problem” students need wraparound services to help them cope and heal — not overly punitive measures, she said.

For example, Atchley said educators must be mindful of a kindergartner who is caught stealing from another student.

Schools can’t punish young children who learn to steal as a survival mechanism, she said.

And that mindset must extend to other adverse behaviors that arise from ACEs to truly help struggling children.

“If our policies and procedures are saying the day a kid comes to school high they are out, we are not being restorative,” Atchley said. “And we are not getting that kid the actual services they need.”

PACEs Carrying a high ACE score doesn’t mean that a dire trajectory is set in stone.

Scientists already know how to counteract harm imparted

by ACEs, which is especially critical early on because rewiring the brain becomes increasingly difficult as time passes.

PACEs — protective and compensatory experiences — are known to act as buffers or insulators against trauma, as well as promote healing. Most prominent is the unconditional love of a parent or mentor.

Other mitigating factors for trauma are strong friendships, mindfulness, exercise or physical activity, and hobbies or clubs. Think sports, band, 4-H, scouts, church, a coach or teacher.

PACEs provide opportunities to build the brain architecture that allows a person’s body to calm physiologically and learn positive habits and behaviors in the present and carry them into the future, said HaysGrudo, of Tulsa’s Center for Integrative Research on Childhood Adversity.

“Children with high ACEs and no PACEs have a very difficult time in life because they don’t have the opportunity to develop the skills and the competencies — the psychological skills, the social skills and even the cognitive learning skills — to compensate for the abuse and neglect that has compromised how their brains develop,” she said. “ACEs are not a death sentence. I know many people with high levels of ACEs who live very happy and productive and good lives.

“And that’s generally because they also had many other good things going on in their lives.”

Strong predictors of behavioral, health problems Strengthening the science supporting the ACE pyramid is paramount for researchers.

And Tulsa is an important outpost in this endeavor, garnering national recognition.

Amanda Morris, a regents professor of human development at OSU-Tulsa, said the ACE test is a better predictor of health and behavioral outcomes than almost any other method. The power is derived from looking at myriad early stressors encompassed by household dysfunction and maltreatment.

“Those 10 items predict not only health but mental health outcomes,” Morris said. “And the rates at which they are predicting are better than many other simple measures and methods looking at one factor.”

Morris also is a researcher involved in the landmark Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development study. The Laureate Institute for Brain Research in Tulsa is one of 21 sites across the United States charting social, behavioral, physical and environmental factors that may affect brain development and health.

Nearly 12,000 subjects ages 9 or 10 were enrolled in the ABCD study, with 742 in Tulsa.

Entry closed in October, with researchers set to track the participants for 10 years.

“So many studies are just one time point,” Morris said.

“Sort of the chicken and the egg: what’s causing what? This allows us to look at cause and effect and change over time.”

Researchers regularly conduct intensive surveys, neurocognitive assessments and brain imaging to try to answer questions about influences in a more robust manner, she said. »» See Research, page A7

She can tell the kids affected by trauma, the ones with high ACE (adverse childhood experience) scores, about their brain cells and neurotransmitters. But it is better to show them.

She’ll use her tattoos and explain: “These are pathways.

You lose your temper and go straight to fighting; your aggression and testosterone and adrenaline ones will be fatter. Right here. We’re going to put that one on a diet and get another one healthier.

We’re going to exercise it and use it. Next time you’re mad, we’re going to do this instead.

If you do it enough times, it’ll get fat, and the fat one will get skinny.

“These colors are serotonin and oxytocin and dopamine.

Those are the things that get you addicted and get you happy or depressed. What are the ones we need to get fat, healthier? What are the ones you need to muscle up? We want less of the colors like the depression. We want more serotonin. In your brain, this is what’s happening.

“They can see what I mean,” Orvis said. “They can make sense of it.”

Three years ago, Orvis made her first visit to KendallWhittier Elementary as part of the Healing Hearts Club, the Tristesse Grief Center’s sixweek program for area public school students who have encountered trauma.

“They were haywire,” Orvis says of the children she first encountered. “I thought, ‘Oh my god, I don’t want to work with kids.’ I went back the

next week, and they said, ‘We were hoping you would come back.’

“I said, ‘You were? You guys didn’t listen to anything.’ “‘You were so nice and you

asked us questions about us and you let us talk.’

“I was like, ‘OK.’ I didn’t realize what I had done. I had no idea.

“By the third week, they

asked me, ‘How many more times do you get to come?’

They were telling me things.

‘Do all moms do this? How come my dad does this?’ They had a grown-up for a whole hour who would talk to them and hear them. They were my little angels in disguise.

“Now, I can’t ever walk away from them.”

Orvis goes into schools throughout Tulsa. She goes to Union, Jenks and Bixby. Oc-

casionally, she goes to Muskogee. She has been called to go to Stillwater and as far away as Missouri.

As an outreach therapist for the Grief Center, she sees students who have lost loved ones or had classmates commit suicide. She lets them ask questions and tell her things, like at Kendall-Whittier. She helps.

“Wednesday, I went to three different schools,” Orvis said.

“They pull out the kids; we sit for an hour. Some are teenagers. We process and work with coping skills. Then it’s on to another school with firstand second-graders, and we color and do activities. Then I might go and do a continuing education unit where I educate a community on how to work with kids that have been through it.”

This is what resilience looks like. A child experiencing trauma has it in her to cope or power through. Sometimes, all it takes is a triggering mechanism, like a caring, stabilizing adult.

Sometimes, it takes a therapist with really cool tattoos.

“If anybody is going to be resilient, it’s a kid,” Orvis said.

“There are days I hear things and my mind is just blown.

What these kids have seen or have been told ...

“Then that same kid will give me a fist bump on their way out of a session or ask for my card when their friends aren’t around. They’re starving for somebody, and if they can find that person — there’s a lot of us out there — it can help tremendously.”

THE ACE TEST Take the test below to find out your ACEs score. For each “Yes” answer, score one point. As your ACE score increases, so does the risk of disease and social and emotional problems.

An ACE score of 3 or more is considered high.

1. Before you were 18, did a parent or other adult in the household often or very often swear at you, insult you, put you down, or humiliate you, or act in a way that made you afraid that you might be physically hurt?

2. Before you were 18, did a parent or other adult in the household often or very often push, grab, slap, or throw something at you, or ever hit you so hard that you had marks or were injured?

3. Before you were 18, did an adult or person at least 5 years older than you ever touch or fondle you or have you touch their body in a sexual way, or attempt or actually have oral, anal, or vaginal intercourse with you?

4. Before you were 18, did you often

or very often feel that no one in your family loved you or thought you were important or special, or your family didn’t look out for each other, feel close to each other or support each other?

5. Before you were 18, did you often or very often feel that you didn’t have enough to eat, had to wear dirty clothes and had no one to protect you, or were your parents were too drunk or high to take care of you or take you to the doctor if you needed it?

6. Before you were 18, were your parents ever separated or divorced?

drinker or alcoholic, or who used street drugs?

7. Before you were 18, was a parent often or very often pushed, grabbed, slapped, or had something thrown at him/her, or sometimes, often, or very often kicked, bitten, hit with a fist, or hit with something hard, or ever repeatedly hit over at least a few minutes or threatened with a gun or knife by a domestic partner?

Research: Brains can compensate for trauma, but it’s difficult The study doesn’t directly collect ACEs. But it does seek insights into stressors that would be categorized as ACEs.

some of these experiences last all the time. Why they literally change the body’s DNA blueprint for how to react to stress, and these changes can be passed across generations.”

What’s happening within brain

Generational costs of trauma

Consider the legs of a child who suffered from polio.

Even when cured of the crippling disease, the developmental opportunity or period for those muscles was lost, Hays-Grudo said. So polio survivors had to use leg braces for the rest of their lives, despite the absence of the disease.

“We see some of the same effects in the brain,” HaysGrudo said. “There are sensitive periods where if the brain does not get the kind of stimulation it’s expecting as a human being — as a species, we expect certain things to happen in development — if it doesn’t happen, it’s much more difficult later on.

“It can happen. The brain can make up for it later, but there’s a lot of difficulty.”

Therein lies the importance of early childhood development.

Stress is a natural response to help keep a person alive in an emergency. The body pumps out cortisol and adrenaline, placing a person in a heightened state to achieve feats not usually within his or her ability.

But Hays-Grudo said the chemicals over a long time become corrosive. The chemicals are meant as a short-term response to protect the body or help it cope.

Researchers repeatedly subjected adult male mice to mild foot shocks after introduction of an odor — fear conditioning. The conditioned males were mated with unconditioned females.

The Emory University scientists were examining offspring inheritance of a parent’s exposure to trauma. Or, simply put, trauma that transverses generations.

They found that two successive generations (children and grandchildren) exhibited behavioral sensitivity to the odor, with an enhanced representation of the odorant receptor’s pathway.

The offspring weren’t conditioned to fear the odor, nor did they learn the behavior from the conditioned male parent because they were separated. Evidence indicated the odor fear was passed biologically, with epigenetic marks that might be the basis for the inheritance.

The study was published in 2013 in Nature America.

Similar links are beginning to be established in humans.

A team of researchers studied 32 Holocaust survivors — interned in a concentration camp, witnessed or experienced torture, or had to flee or hide during World War II — and their adult children for biological effects of stress.

The levels are supposed to decrease and normalize once the threat subsides. But if the stressors are consistent, a person may stay in a hypervigilant state.

Wear and tear develops on the body and can result in auto-immune or heart diseases, as well as cancer, Hays-Grudo said.

“If this is happening in developing systems, it has a much worse effect and more enduring effect than if it happens to adults,” Hays-Grudo said. “Because now the brain is expecting this, and the brain is not getting exposed to other experiences that would allow other parts of the brain to develop.”

Scientists are learning how deep these alterations can go through “inherited epi-

genetics.”

Hays-Grudo described epigenetics as the chemicals that sit on top of our DNA and attach to its strands.

Epigenetics essentially act as on-off or dimmer switches that make it more or less likely for DNA to be replicated to create cells, Hays-Grudo said.

“When you turn off that process, you turn off some of the production of chemicals needed, for example, for brain cell regeneration — new neurons,” Hays-Grudo said. “It also may turn off receptors for all of the cortisol that you’re pumping out when you’re stressed, and then the cortisol doesn’t leave the body. You just stay stressed.

“So these epigenetic changes to certain DNA structures have given us a clue why

The scientists compared them against demographically similar control subjects who lived outside of Europe during the war, meaning they weren’t exposed to trauma from the Holocaust.

They found genetic alterations associated with Holocaust trauma present in both parents and their children that couldn’t be attributed to the offspring’s own traumatic experiences or psychopathology.

Morris, the OSU-Tulsa regents professor involved with the ABCD study, described ACEs as more of a social problem. A person can’t “catch them” like a sickness by talking about them, she said.

Openly dealing with ACEs rather than repressing trauma is a means to heal and recover. A public health and prevention approach, along with policy changes, are keys to halt the spread of ACEs, she said.

“So the science is really an important part of the story here. Why? Because it predicts these health and behavioral outcomes better than almost any other measure we have,” Morris said. “And the root of it is family dysfunction and things that we know — it’s difficult — but we know how to target and help families.

Through resources. Through building good parenting skills and relationships.

“It’s not like a communicable disease. It’s a thing we can fix.”

1 in 4 don’t plan to retire Poll suggests disconnect between retirement plans and realities of aging in workforce

TULSA WORLD

Tonkawa man fatally shot in Stillwater

CHICAGO — Nearly one-quarter of Americans say they never plan to retire, according to a poll that suggests a disconnection between individuals’ retirement plans and the realities of aging in the workforce.

Experts say illness, injury, layoffs and caregiving responsibilities often force older workers to leave their jobs sooner than they’d like.

According to the poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, 23% of workers, including nearly 2 in 10 of those over 50, don’t expect to stop working. Roughly another quarter of Americans say they will continue working beyond their 65th birthday.

According to government data, about 1 in 5 people 65 and older was working or actively looking for a job in June.

For many, money has a lot to do with the decision to keep working.

“The average retirement age that we see in the data has gone up a little bit, but it hasn’t gone up that much,” says Anqi Chen, assistant director of savings research at the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College. “So people have to live in retirement much longer, and they may not have enough assets to support themselves in retirement.”

When asked how financially comfortable they feel about retirement, 14% of Americans under the age of 50 and 29% over 50 say they feel extremely or very prepared, according to the poll. About another 4 in 10 older adults say they do feel somewhat prepared, while just about onethird feel unprepared. By comparison, 56% of younger adults say they don’t feel prepared for retirement.

Among those who are fully retired, 38% said they felt very or extremely prepared when they retired, while 25% said they felt not very or not at all prepared.

“One of the things about thinking about never retiring is that you didn’t save a whole lot of money,” says Ronni Bennett, 78, who was pushed out of her job as a New York

Pedestrians pass beneath City Hall in Philadelphia, in February. Nearly one-quarter of Americans say they never plan to retire, according to a poll. While many plan to keep working, workforce changes and illness may alter those ideas. Matt Rourke/AP

City-based website editor at 63.

She searched for work in the immediate aftermath of her layoff, a process she describes as akin to “banging my head against a wall.”

Finding Manhattan too expensive without a steady stream of income, she eventually moved to Portland, Maine. A few years later, she moved again, to Lake Oswego, Oregon.

“Sometimes I fantasize that if I win the lottery, I’d go back to New York,” says Bennett, who has a blog called Time Goes By that chronicles her experiences aging, relocating and, during the past two years, living with a pancreatic cancer diagnosis.

Meanwhile, Americans have mixed assessments of how the aging workforce affects workers: 39% think people staying in the workforce longer is mostly a good thing for American workers, while 29% think it’s more a bad thing and 30% say it makes no difference.

A somewhat higher share, 45%, thinks it has a positive effect on the U.S. economy.

Working Americans who are 50 and older think the trend is more positive than negative for their own careers — 42% to 15%. Those younger than 50 are about as likely to say it’s good for their careers as to say it’s bad.

But remaining in the workforce may be unrealistic for people dealing with unexpected illness or injuries. For them, high medical bills and a lack of savings loom large over

day-to-day expenditures.

“People like me, who are average, everyday working people, can have something catastrophic happen, and we lose everything because of medical bills,” says Larry Zarzecki, a former Maryland police officer who stopped working in his 40s after developing a resting tremor in his right hand and a series of cognitive and physical symptoms he at times found difficult to articulate.

At 47, he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Now 57 and living in Baltimore, Zarzecki says he has learned “to take from Peter and give to Paul, per se, to help make ends meet.”

Zarzecki has since helped found Movement Disorder Education and Exercise, a nonprofit organization that offers support and treatment programs to those with similar diseases and certain traumatic brain injuries. He has also helped lobby state and national lawmakers to address rising prescription drug prices.

He receives a pension and health insurance through the state, but he spends more than $3,000 each year out of pocket on medications.

“I can’t afford, nor will my insurance cover, the most modern medication there is for Parkinson’s,” he says. “Eat, heat or treat. These are decisions that people in my position have to make. When it’s cold out, or if it’s real hot out, do you eat, heat (your home) or treat (your ailment)?”

Stillwater police arrested a man on a murder complaint Sunday after an early morning shooting left a Tonkawa man dead.

Darwin Lonestar Marcel Doyal, 29, of Stillwater, was booked into the city jail after Jared Lance Roybal, 23, of Tonkawa, succumbed to his injuries at an Oklahoma City hospital, according to a Stillwater police news release.

Officers determined Roybal and his brother were driving in the 3100 block of East Raintree Drive before 2 a.m. when they came upon two vehicles stopped in the roadway and two people involved in a verbal altercation, the release states.

One of the vehicles drove off as the two got closer, but a man later identified as Doyal con-

Doyal

fronted Roybal, yelling at him and, pulling out a handgun, shot him once in the neck, po-

lice said.

Roybal’s brother drove him to a convenience store in the 600 block of East Sixth Avenue about 1:45 a.m. and asked the clerk to call 911.

Roybal was taken to the Stillwater Medical Center before being transferred to OU Medical Center in Oklahoma City, where he died.

The investigation is ongoing, and police are asking anyone with information to call the department at 405-372-4171.

Justice Department shaking up legal team on census WASHINGTON — The Justice Department is shaking up the legal team trying to add a citizenship question to the census.

Officials say a new team of lawyers will take over the litigation.

The Supreme Court has barred the inclusion of a citizenship question, at least temporarily. But the Justice Department has said it will continue to try to find legal grounds to force it onto the 2020 census.

A Justice Department official tells The Associated Press that the team will be made up of career lawyers and political appointees. The official says a top civil attorney in the department, John Burnham, will no longer lead the litigation team.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the matter ahead of a court filing expected Monday.

Indian land case has broad reach Experts say Supreme Court could change its approach to review

By Chris Casteel The Oklahoman

OKLAHOMA CITY — The U.S. Supreme Court, which has failed to reach a decision in a closely watched Indian land case out of Oklahoma, likely deadlocked and may try a different approach in its next term, according to Indian law experts.

It is also possible that Justice Neil Gorsuch may reconsider his recusal in the case and participate when the court begins its next term in October, the experts said.

Stephen Greetham, senior counsel for the Chickasaw Nation, said Chief Justice John Roberts may be uncomfortable disposing of the case on a 4-4 ruling given the seriousness of the question before the court.

“So what I’m waiting for is to see if the court issues an order further directing the parties to refine the arguments to other questions the court is looking at analyzing,” Greetham said.

“Or, alternatively, having a justice unrecuse himself is not uncommon.”

Roberts announced last month that the Supreme Court would rehear the case of whether the Muscogee (Creek) Nation’s reservation was officially disestablished by Congress. The court first heard oral arguments in the case in November 2018.

The case arose from an appeal by Creek tribal member Patrick Murphy, who was convicted of murder and sentenced to death in an Oklahoma state court inside the boundaries of the tribe’s historic reservation.

Murphy contends that he should have been tried in federal court because federal authorities have jurisdiction on a reservation that still exists. The state of Oklahoma argues that Congress clearly meant to disestablish the reservation because it stripped the tribe of its jurisdiction in eastern Oklahoma, its authority and property. The U.S. Justice Department is siding with Oklahoma in the case.

The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with Murphy’s argument but delayed its ruling from going into effect pending a potential ruling from the Supreme Court.

When the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case, Gorsuch recused himself because he had been on the 10th Circuit court during Murphy’s appeals, although he did not rule on whether the reservation had been disestablished.

If the Supreme Court deadlocks at 4-4, the 10th Circuit’s decision will be upheld and the reservation deemed still in existence.

FROM THE BULLPEN TO THE BLIND Diamondbacks’ Archie Bradley invites duck hunters to sit in with MLB players

BY KELLY BOSTIAN

A

rizona Diamondbacks pitcher Archie Bradley is making a call from the bullpen to see if hunters might like to join him in a dugout in Oklahoma. Or more accurately, in a duck blind.

The former Broken Arrow baseball and football standout who was drafted by the Diamondbacks in the first round in 2011, developed a love for waterfowl hunting about the same time his baseball career took off. Now he and former BA teammate Mak Monckton and Spring Valley Rod & Gun Club founder Adam Maris have an idea to boost Oklahoma’s reputation as a waterfowl hunting destination and provide an escape

for hunters and for professional athletes alike.

“The goal is to get some of my teammates in and put together packages around being able to hunt with these guys,” he said. “Eventually to make it a place where we’re consistently welcoming in major league players and pro athletes in general.”

The business bears the name of Bradley’s black Labrador retriever, Crash. He bought a ranch in Pawnee County with a small wetland where he can hunt and named the ranch Crash Landing. So it seemed fitting to name the new guide service Crash Landing Outdoors, he said.

Maris, who built a 12,000-square-foot

lodge and gun club off the Cimarron Turnpike north of Stillwater last year, said Crash Landing is a separate operation but will often work in concert with the lodge. Cost for the trips will be $650 per person per day.

“Archie is spearheading this and bringing in teammates and other pro players and the idea is to book threeday blocks,” Maris said. “We’re going to try to do that seven to 10 times this year, so 21 to 30 days of the season. As this evolves further (Crash Landing) could become that exclusively.”

Bradley said commitments to youth »» See Ducks, page A11

Who: Diamondbacks pitcher Archie Bradley with guide Mak Monckton and Spring Valley Rod & Gun Club owner Adam Maris.

Martin Charnin, ‘Annie’ lyricist, dies at 84

By Mark Kennedy Associated Press

NEW YORK — Martin Charnin, who made his Broadway debut playing a Jet in the original “West Side Story” and went on to become a Broadway director and a lyricist who won a Tony Award for the score of the eternal hit “Annie,” has died. He was 84.

He died Saturday at a White Plains, New York, hospital, days after suffering a minor heart attack, his daughter, Sasha Charnin Morrison, told The Associated Press.

“He’s in a painless place, now. Probably looking for Cole Porter and Ira Gershwin,” Morrison wrote Sunday on Instagram.

Charnin was a keeper of the “Annie” flame, protective of what he created with songwriter Charles Strouse and book writer Thomas Meehan. The 1977 original won the Tony as best musical and ran for 2,300 performances, inspiring tours

and revivals that never went out of style.

Charnin attributed the success of “Annie” to its sweet optimism and its message that things were going to get better. After all, it was written during a period of instability, he told AP in 2015.

“We were living in a really tough time. Right in the middle of Nixon. Right in the middle of Vietnam.

There was an almost-recession. There was a lot of unrest in the country and you can always feel it and a lot of depression — emotional depression, financial depression. We wanted to be the tap on the shoulder that said to everyone, ‘It’ll be better.’ ” With Andrea McArdle replacing Kristen Vigard as the red-haired moppet Annie and Dorothy Loudon added as Miss Hannigan, the production went on to open in New York in April 1977 with a bang.

The musical contained gems like “Tomorrow” and

“It’s the Hard Knock Life.”

Charnin’s lyrics, which earned him and Strouse a Tony for best score in 1977, are playful and moving: “You’re never fully dressed/without a smile” and “No one cares for you a smidge/when you’re in an orphanage.”

Charnin, who won a Grammy Award for the “Annie” cast album, found shards of his work also included in Jay-Z’s 1998 Grammy-winning album “Vol. 2... Hard Knock Life.”

His song “Tomorrow” has been heard on soundtracks from “Shrek 2” to “Dave” to “You’ve Got Mail.” In 2016, Lukas Graham used parts of the chorus from “Annie” for his “Mama Said” hit. “ ‘Annie’ has touched generations and each one of the generations that it has reached has a very fond, distinct, specific memory of it. Because they love it — they don’t like it, they love it — they pass that memory on like a baton in a relay race,” Charnin said.

Indonesia relief spokesman dies at 49

By Stephen Wright Associated Press

JAKARTA, Indonesia — Indonesia’s disaster agency spokesman, who was respected for informing the public accurately and quickly about the country’s frequent natural calamities, has died.

He was 49.

Sutopo Purwo Nugroho died Sunday morning in Guangzhou, China, where he had been undergoing cancer treatment since June, the National Disaster Mitigation Agency said.

Nugroho revealed in early 2018 that he had been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer and was told he might not survive more than a year. As his personal tragedy unfolded, the year would become one of the worst in recent memory for natural disasters in Indonesia. Thousands died in a series of earthquakes, tsunamis, floods and landslides.

Nugroho continued to work while enduring intense pain, typing news releases from his hospital bed after undergoing chemotherapy, updating social media, holding news conferences and fielding calls from reporters at any hour.

“He was a hardworking figure who served the media and public independently and tirelessly even while very sick,” disaster agency chief Doni Monardo told The Associated Press. “He deserves to be called a humanitarian hero.”

In a country where many officials are notorious for economy with the truth or outright distortion, Nugroho distin-

guished himself by marshaling facts, combating hoaxes and frequently drawing attention to lack of disaster preparedness and man-made factors that worsen natural calamities.

He was the public face of the thousands of people involved in Indonesia’s arduous disaster relief efforts and affectionately known as “Pak Topo,” a moniker that combined abbreviations of his name and the Indonesian word for mister.

Tributes poured in Sunday from people of all walks of life in Indonesia and neighboring countries.

Indonesian President Joko Widodo said on Twitter, “We have lost a person whose life was dedicated to other people.”

He quoted one of Nugroho’s recent comments: “Life is not about how long we live but how much we can help others.”

Actor Cameron Boyce, best known for his role as the teenage son of Cruella de Vil in the Disney Channel franchise “Descendants,” has died. He was 20 years old.

Boyce, who played Carlos de Vil in the “Descendants” movies, died Saturday at his home in Los Angeles, according to his spokesperson.

An official cause of death has not been announced, but his family released a statement Sunday saying Boyce “passed away in his sleep due to a seizure that was a result of an ongoing medical condition for which he was being treated.

“The world is now undoubtedly without one of its brightest lights, but his spirit will live on through the kindness and compassion of all who knew and loved him. We are utterly heartbroken,” the family

statement said.

Boyce starred alongside Adam Sandler in “Grown Ups” and “Grown Ups 2,” and other film credits include “Mirrors,” “Eagle Eye” and the indie feature “Runt.” He also starred in the upcoming HBO series “Mrs. Fletcher.”

“Descendants 3” is scheduled for release in August.

His spokesperson said Sunday that Boyce was also a philanthropist who

used his celebrity to advocate for those without a voice, including the homeless. Last year, he was honored for his work with the Thirst Project, bringing awareness to the global water crisis and raising more than $30,000 for the organization to build two wells in Eswatini, formerly known as Swaziland, in efforts to bring clean drinking water to the region.

Church plans $2M renovation Pastor says updating the church’s aging facility will help his congregation as well as Claremore’s north side

By Kayleigh Thesenvitz The Claremore Daily Progress

CLAREMORE (AP) — When the Claremore Plaza shopping mall was originally built in the 1970s, it was a welcome addition, replacing a former landfill with retail and restaurants.

Today, it is a bit more of an eye sore.

The home of Cedar Point Church is uneven and falling apart.

But renovations to make the building better than ever before begin Sept. 1.

Cedar Point Lead Pastor Rick Burke said that over the next two years the church will be renovated

in two phases, costing approximately $2 million.

“We call our church a story changing church,” Burke told The Claremore Daily Progress. “We’ve seen this happen to a lot of people.

They come in with a broken past, a lot of broken things going on in the world, and as they encounter the goodness of God, their stories begin to change and their life takes on a different form.”

The same is true for their facility, Burke said. They want the transformation of their church building to be symbolic.

“It will be a memorial to what God can do in our lives,” he said.

The second purpose for the ren-

ovation is to give back to the community, he said.

“Part of our vision is to be relentlessly good to this community,” Burke said. “We want to elevate that end of town, and we think that fixing it up will be good for the north end of Claremore.”

“I really believe in putting something into the community where you live,” he said.

The third reason, Burke said, is to prepare the building for those that have not yet been reached by God. Phase 1 will include a 700-seat worship center, a 4,300-squarefoot space for pre-K, an expanded kitchen, an updated main entryway, an expanded lobby with coffee bar and comfortable seating, a new youth worship area, and a new entryway near the kids area

for easy check-in and check-out.

The hope is to have phase 1 complete by Easter 2020.

Phase 2 will involve relocating classrooms and office spaces to more efficient locations and further expanding the kitchen and KidsLife areas. They will also build flex spaces, finish the community services area, update parking, and install a half-court basketball floor next to the playground.

The building is old.

“It looks like it is one step away from being condemned,” Burke said.

“Any time that anybody wins here, we all win,” Burke said.

“God is raising the bar for us and taking us to another step, but also we hope it blesses the community and helps raise that end of town.”

4-year-old Edmond girl drowns in lake An Edmond 4-yearold drowned in Lake Eufaula on Sunday, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol reported.

Troopers say the girl went missing from a residence near the lake a couple of hours before her body was found in about 5 feet of water 20 feet from the shoreline.

The medical examiner pronounced her dead about 1:35 p.m., according to the report. She was not wearing a personal flotation device.

The girl’s name is not being released due to her age.

Murphy: High court may hear case again »» From page A9

attorney general of the Seminole Nation and former justice of the Pawnee Nation Supreme Court, said he wasn’t surprised that the court struggled with the case.

“The most likely outcome was that they just ran out of time,” he said.

“These are some very complicated, earth-shattering issues. I think this is one of the biggest cases during my career in a quarter century in Indian law.”

The Supreme Court has not set a date for the second round of arguments.

The case did not make the calendar for October, the first month of the new term.

The state of Oklahoma spent nearly $600,000 for a Washington, D.C., law firm to present the state’s case to the high court. No contracts for further work on the case have been negotiated or entered into.

Test for reservations The U.S. Supreme Court has established a test for determining whether a tribal reservation has been disestablished. The 10th

Circuit court applied that test and decided the Creek Reservation had not been disestablished.

One of the judges wrote later that Oklahoma’s unique tribal history may require some exception to that test.

McBride and Greetham said the court may look for a way to rule on the case without having to toss its own test, which was established in the 1984 case of Solem vs. Bartlett and reaffirmed three years ago.

“What I think the Supreme Court is struggling with here is a potential Oklahoma exception to Solem,” McBride said.

After oral arguments in November, the justices took the unusual step of asking the state of Oklahoma, the U.S. government and Murphy’s attorneys to answer additional questions. They were: • Whether any statute grants the state of Oklahoma jurisdiction over the prosecution of crimes committed by Indians in the area within the 1866 territorial boundaries of the Creek Nation, irrespective of the area’s reservation status.

• Whether there are cir-

cumstances in which land qualifies as an Indian reservation but doesn’t meet the definition of Indian country as defined in U.S. law.

Greetham said, “You see, in the request for supplemental briefing, the court was looking for a way to situate its analysis in kind of an Oklahoma-specific context, without doing violence to the established case law. And that’s a challenge.”

Parade of horribles

would disrupt more than 100 years of settled law and create chaos in criminal and civil matters, including taxation and regulation.

Lisa Blatt, a Washington, D.C., attorney representing Oklahoma in the case, warned the justices that “155 murderers, 113 rapists and over 200 felons who committed crimes against children” may have to be retried if the Supreme Court sides with the tribe.

McBride and Greetham said Blatt’s arguments were exaggerated and inaccurate.

“The bottom line: Those concerns are grossly overblown,” Greetham said.

“And we were actually disappointed with how much the state’s oral argument before the court relied on that parade of horribles rather than a clean analysis of the law.”

In the first place, they said, Murphy won’t be freed. If the Supreme Court were to rule that he was wrongly tried in state court, he would be tried in tribal or federal court.

“It’s not a get-out-of-jail free card,” Greetham said.

The Five Tribes, often referred to as the Five Civilized Tribes, are the Cherokees, the Chickasaws, the Choctaws, the Creeks and the Seminoles.

Those tribes’ reservations encompassed what is now eastern Oklahoma before statehood. The Creek reservation included what are now Creek, Hughes, Okfuskee, Okmulgee, McIntosh, Muskogee, Tulsa and Wagoner counties.

The Supreme Court’s decision in the Creek case is expected ultimately to affect the other four tribes in nearly every aspect.

Oklahoma contends that a ruling for the Creeks ccasteel@oklahoman.com

Ducks: Hunting a passion for major leaguer »» From page A9

sports kept him out of the woods as a kid even though an early duck hunting experience when he was 8 or 9 years old struck a chord. With a busy baseball schedule and traveling games through the spring and summer and then going right into football in the fall, “I never really had any time for it,” he said.

“A guy from Broken Arrow took me on my first real duck hunt and from there it was like a fire was kinda lit inside of me,” he said. “I really enjoy being outdoors from duck hunting to deer hunting, really anything.”

He played ball and hunted with Monckton and their partnership and passions for the outdoors grew from there, he said.

“Obviously after the draft I was able to get more stuff, get some leases, buy some more equipment and that’s when it really started to take off,” he said.

Any serious waterfowl hunter has to have a retriever, so along came Crash and then came the ranch and now the partnership with Monckton and Maris. He said somewhere between 30 and 50 days of his off-season were spent hunting last year, mostly duck hunting.

“I think finding something outside of baseball that I’m very passionate about and want to be involved in was very important for kind of my selfidentity in a way, to relate to something other than just baseball,” he said.

The hunting guide business is a plan that looks forward, beyond baseball, he said.

“When people get out here and see this lodge and experience this thing, they’ll know this is not just a couple-years deal,” he said. “We’re looking to invest in these communities and these farmers we’re working with and we’re looking to be here for the long haul. I see this as something I can retire on and have this unbelievable outdoor service we can offer to people across the

country and not just Oklahoma.”

The pro athlete said an example from a January 2019 hunt drives home the point.

“In the duck hunting world, it would be described as the perfect morning,” he said. “Everything was set up. Everyone was in the blind ready to go. We had plenty of time before shooting light. The sun was coming up and it was probably about 28 degrees, steam coming up off the water and just thousands and thousands of

ducks in the air. Something like you only see on TV. “To have a moment like that with this group of guys and seeing the reaction from these guys them high-fiving and talking on and on about how great this hunt is and how they’ve never been on anything like this, it really hit home with what we are trying to do.”

Getting enough potassium requires more than a supplement Dear Doctor: Your recent column about how potassium can help lower blood pressure was quite helpful, but when I looked into supplements, they turned out to be almost useless. Why is that? What foods should I be eating?

Dear Reader: Potassium is a mineral that plays a key role in the optimal functioning of nerves, muscles, fluid balance, and, as we wrote about recently, the regulation of blood pressure. Although it’s found in a wide range of whole foods, Americans’ ongoing love affair with highly processed and fast foods has led to diets that fall short of adequate potassium.

The most recent guidelines for daily potassium intake were released last March by the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine. They recommend a minimum of 2,300 milligrams per day for healthy women, and 3,400 mg per day for healthy men.

These newest recommendations are lower than those established in 2005.

Unfortunately, according to the National Institutes of Health, the majority of Americans get less than half the amount of the mineral that they need. It seems logical that, since you can boost

Ask the Doctors Dr. Ko & Dr. Glazier

your intake of just about any vitamin or mineral with a supplement, you should be able to do the same with potassium. However, it’s not that simple. Potassium has the potential to interact with a variety of medications, including blood pressure meds, diuretics and some common pain medications.

Depending on the specific medication, it can result in potassium levels that are dangerously high or dangerously low. Too much or too little potassium can lead to muscle cramping, nerve problems, problems with cognition and potentially life-threatening heart arrhythmias. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration requires over-the-counter potassium supplements, including multivitamins, to contain less than 100 mg, which is a fraction of the recommended daily intake.

from a wide variety of whole and fresh foods, you can meet your daily potassium needs. Foods that contain high or moderate levels of potassium include fish like salmon, tuna, cod and snapper; most red meats; leafy greens like spinach and chard; black beans, pinto beans and white beans; avocados; bananas; apricots; potatoes; tomato sauce and tomato paste; watermelon; lentils; cantaloupe; yogurt; and coconut water. One quick and easy way to give a meal a potassium boost is with frozen spinach, which can easily be added to soups and stews and used as a side dish. Beans, beets and avocados make great additions to salads.

Try swapping out sweet or salty ultra-processed snacks for cantaloupe or watermelon.

Although getting enough potassium without the help of supplements may seem daunting at first, deliberate food choices and just a bit of advance planning will get you into the zone.

Rahm wins Irish open again Jon Rahm captured the Irish Open title for the second time in three years after shooting 8-under 62 in the final round to win by two strokes.

It was the Spaniard’s second victory of 2019, after winning the Zurich Classic team event on the PGA Tour with Ryan Palmer in April, and his fourth victory in two years on the European Tour.

Rahm tamed the Lahinch links in western Ireland by making an eagle and eight birdies, including one from 3 feet at No. 14 after an approach with a 5-iron from rough right of the fairway. He finished at 16-under 264.

Shanshan Feng set a high target for such low scoring at the Thornberry Creek LPGA Classic, in Oneida, Wisconsin, and she figured she had done enough.

Three birdies in a four-hole stretch had taken her from three shots behind to one shot ahead Sunday, or so she thought. It was only after she hit 7-iron to 3 feet on the final hole that she saw the leaderboard and realized she was tied with Ariya Jutanugarn.

“I’m like, ‘Oh, no. I have to make that one,’” Feng said.

No problem. Leaving the flagstick in, she rolled in her final birdie putt for a 9-under 63 and a one-shot victory over Jutanugarn, who had hit 8-iron to 3 feet for birdie and a 64.

Feng won for the 10th time on the LPGA Tour, but her first victory since Blue Bay in China in November 2017.

The shootout on the soft Thornberry Creek at Oneida course materialized the way everyone expected.

Patty Tavatanakit shot 61 and was part of a five-way tie for the lead before the final two groups even teed off. She wound up in a tie for 15th. Seven players had at least a share of the lead at some point in the final round.

Big rain, big wreck lead to Haley’s first NASCAR Cup victory

By Jenna Fryer Associated Press

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Teeth chattering, hands shaking, stomach churning, Justin Haley anxiously waited for NASCAR to pull the plug on a rain-wrecked weekend at Daytona International Speedway.

A 500-1 longshot making just his third career Cup start, Haley won the rainpostponed, rain-shortened race at Daytona on Sunday. He inherited the lead after a 17-car accident

decimated the field and a lightning strike forced NASCAR to stop the race.

Haley waited out the delay, admittedly too nervous to do more than pray for the skies to open and the race to be called.

The wait of 2 hours, 12 minutes was well worth it for the 20-year-old Indiana native driving for first-year team Spire Motorsports.

“I had no expectation to win this race,” said Haley, admitting he’d have quick-

ly been passed for the lead if the race resumed.

“We were just trying to keep the fenders on it.

That was the whole goal of the race, to finish with no scratches. Yes, I really did pray for rain.”

As the clouds darkened over the track at the start of the third and final stage, drivers picked up the intensity.

Clint Bowyer pulled out of line and tried to pass Austin Dillon for the lead, but Dillon would not

relinquish the spot.

TULSA WORLD

Soccer: Never trailed in tournament The United States’ Megan Rapinoe (left) celebrates with teammates after defeating the Netherlands on Sunday in the Women’s World Cup final at the Stade de Lyon in Decines, outside Lyon, France. AP

»» From page B1

“Getting to play at the highest level of the World Cup with the team we have is just ridiculous.

But to be able to couple that with everything on the field and to back up all of those words with performances and to back up all of those performances with words, it’s just incredible,” Rapinoe said. “I feel like this team is in the midst of changing the world around us as we live, and it’s just an incredible feeling.”

Lavelle, at 24 the team’s upand-coming star, added her third goal of the tournament on an 18-yard left-footed shot in the 69th minute after a solo run from the center circle.

“It’s been a long journey. It doesn’t seem real yet. I hasn’t hit me, it’s so surreal, to be part of this group and to play with these players,” Lavelle said.

The monthlong journey isn’t over quite yet for players who captured the hearts of a nation.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio needed just a few seconds after the match to invite the team to a ticker-tape parade up the Canyon of Heroes in Manhattan on Wednesday.

Fans, many dressed in red, white and blue, chanted “Equal Pay!” at the final whistle, a reminder players sued the U.S. Soccer Federation in March claiming gender discrimination.

The sides have agreed to mediate the lawsuit.

Rapinoe drew the ire of U.S. President Donald Trump by saying she would refuse to visit the White House. Trump called out Rapinoe on Twitter, saying she should never “disrespect our Country, the White House, or our Flag, especially since so much has been done for her & the team.” He said he would invite the team win or lose.

But shortly after the title game, Trump tweeted: “Congratulations to the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team on winning the World Cup! Great and exciting play. America is proud of you all!”

Rapinoe also called out FIFA on the eve of the championship, suggesting soccer’s governing body was not doing enough to grow the women’s game, pointing to unequal prize money and the scheduling of the final on the same day as the championships of the CONCACAF Gold Cup in Chicago and the Copa America

final in Brazil.

Whether unequal treatment from soccer officials will change is uncertain. The Americans’ dominance in France is unquestioned.

They never trailed at the tournament and set records with 26 goals and a 12-game World Cup winning streak dating to 2015.

Jill Ellis became the first coach to lead a team to two Women’s World Cup titles, and the U.S. joined Germany in 2003 and 2007 as the only repeat champions.

While the U.S. has four titles, Germany is the only other nation with even two.

“It’s just chemistry. They put their hearts and soul into this journey,” Ellis said. “They made history.”

Mia Hamm and Brandi Chastain were among the former American players who joined the current generation for the postgame celebration.

PGA: Wolff earns two-year exemption »» From page B1

ing Collin Morikawa and Bryson DeChambeau by one stroke in a tense finish to the first-time PGA Tour event.

“I completed everything I wanted to in college and now I’ve done something that very few people could say they’ve done, and it makes me really happy,” said Wolff, who became the first player since Jordan Spieth in 2013 to win a PGA Tour event before his 21st birthday.

Wolff struck his second shot on the 573-yard, par-5 hole from the fairway to the far left of the green, where it landed just a few feet away from a bunker. He proceeded to sink the dramatic putt in front of a packed 18th gallery at the TPC Twin Cities.

“I’m usually not an emotional guy at all, but tears definitely came to my eyes when I stepped off and picked that ball up out of the hole,” Wolff said.

Morikawa had the opportu-

nity to forge a tie, but he just missed his eagle attempt from 22 feet away in the middle of the green. When the ball rolled on the left edge and about 3 feet too long, Morikawa winced.

“I hit a really good putt. I thought it was good from the start and once it got about halfway I knew it was a little low.

What can you do?” said the 22-year-old Morikawa, who also turned pro this summer. His putt for birdie on the 17th horseshoed out.

The pair of newbies, who once played against each other on the California high school circuit and shared the lead with DeChambeau after the third round at 15 under, embraced on the green. Then Wolff began the celebration of the $1.152 million prize and an automatic two-year exemption on the tour.

“I’m a 20-year-old and I’m saying, ‘job security,’ but it really is,” Wolff said. “I knew as soon as I left college that I’m out

here with the best players in the world and I’d have to prove myself, and I did that.”

DeChambeau, playing directly in front of the Morikawa-Wolff pair, had just finished his upand-down afternoon with an eagle to take the short-lived lead at 20 under. The lively crowd, which went five rows deep behind the ropes near the final green, roared when DeChambeau crushed his second shot 204 yards from the intermediate rough onto the green within 6 feet of the pin. The world’s eighth-ranked player sank that putt to post one of seven eagles on 18 during the final round in yet more humid, wind-free conditions. DeChambeau, who had two of his three bogeys in the tournament on Sunday, figured he was headed for a playoff as he walked off.

“It’s so competitive now. Anyone can win on any week. It’s absolutely impressive,” DeChambeau said.

Honor: No plans to move Folds of Honor »» From page B1

of a second home for the organization. Purchased by John Rooney, Dan’s father, in 1965, the course has been owned by the Rooney family for more than 50 years, and will now serve as a respite for military veterans and active service members in the region.

Construction has begun on the course and American Dunes is scheduled to open Memorial Day 2020.

Rooney, a former member of the Oklahoma Air National Guard, did three tours of duty in Iraq and has run Folds of Honor from its headquarters in Tulsa since its inception, raising more than $50 million for families of fallen military members since 2007. But it was during a trip back to Grand Haven, where Rooney also served as a PGA professional, that the genesis of the organization came to be.

On a flight back to Michigan following his second tour of duty, Rooney met the family of Army Corporal Brock Bucklin, killed in action in Iraq in May 2006. Bucklin’s body was on board and Rooney watched as other passengers left the plane with little regard for the fallen soldier or his family.

Following his interaction with the Bucklins, Rooney sought to do something to honor the soldier and his family, and so came the first Patriot Golf Day at Grand Haven Golf Club. The event featured 67 golfers and raised about $8,500, serving as the precursor for Folds of Honor. In 2018, Patriot Golf Day stretched across all 50 states and raised nearly $10 million.

Grand Haven Golf Club, soon to be American Dunes, is where Folds of Honor and Patriot Golf Day began. Now it will serve as a permanent landmark for the organization it spawned.

“It’s an opportunity to commemorate Folds of Honor,” Rooney said. “Without this little golf course, this organization is never created.”

Roooney’s relationship with Nicklaus, the PGA’s all-time major championship leader with 18 major victories to his name, began through Folds of Honor and Patriot Golf Day many years ago. When Rooney brought his idea for the renovation of Grand Haven to Nicklaus and proposed a partnership in 2018, the Golden Bear embraced the concept immediately, Rooney said.

A visit to the course at Grand

Haven from Nicklaus this spring sealed the deal. Grand Haven will be transformed and remodeled by Nicklaus himself into American Dunes.

“Jack and his group saw tremendous potential in the site,” Rooney said. “It likely wouldn’t have been there much longer if not for Mr. Nicklaus and a bunch of other benevolent people who came along to save it.”

Capitalizing on the sand the land is built upon and its proximity to Lake Michigan, the new course and club at American Dunes will be a complete reimagination of the grounds with the goal of creating a completely different golf experience.

In achieving the dramatic overhaul, construction will require much of the course to be dug up in order to uncover sand that lies beneath and will also see the removal of many trees from the course. Ultimately, the hope is that Lake Michigan will have a greater presence, while the remaining trees are incorporated in the inland portions to unlock the potential of Folds of Honor’s second home.

“If we can do that, and at the same time honor our military and raise money for the education of the families of our fallen soldiers, this is going to be something very unique and very special in the game of golf,” Nicklaus said in a release.

The announcement of Folds of Honor’s involvement in the project in Michigan prompted some to wonder about the organization’s future in the Tulsa area. According to Rooney, Folds of Honor has no plans to move from its home in Owasso and renovations are underway to improve its headquarters at Patriot Golf Club.

Rather than a step away from Tulsa, Rooney said, American Dunes is a step for Folds of Honor toward a second base and a way to continue to grow the organization nationally.

Tulsa is Folds of Honor’s home, but in Michigan, the organization will now have a memorial for its birthplace.

“Most people, when they think of Folds of Honor, they think Tulsa and we’re very proud of that.” Rooney said.

“But not everyone knows where it all started and that’s what this project means to us.”

Emig: Developing quarterbacks is Gleeson’s most important job »» From page B1

absorption of Gleeson’s offense, not his digestion of Gleeson’s barbecue. Or Brown’s absorption, seeing as how Gleeson maintains it’s still a two-player race for the starting job while freshman Costello gains college seasoning.

“We will make a decision when it’s apparent to us. Coach (Mike) Gundy has said that,” Gleeson said during a recent chat with the Tulsa World and Oklahoman. “We’re not trying to fool anybody.

When the time comes, the time comes.”

OK. But back to the absorption of the offense...

“I don’t think that there’s too many hiccups, to tell you the truth,” Gleeson said. “Everybody’s got their football nomenclature in the way they talk about plays and technique. Once you get past that over a two- to three-month period, we’ve been able to make some ground this summer talking about defenses. That’s been really, really good.

“Yeah, they’re responding really well.”

Since playing offense in the Big 12 Conference without a productive, more-often-than-not dynamic quarterback is like playing defense without use of your arms, this is encouraging to hear.

It isn’t necessarily

surprising — no football coach ever sounds gloomy in July. It isn’t necessarily specific.

“Whoever ends up playing, we’ll make sure we tailor the package to the strengths of that guy,” Gleeson said without going into details on that package or that guy.

It’s safe to assume Gleeson will be imaginative either way. He had some good players at Princeton, but they thrived when he discovered creative uses for them. That’s what got Gleeson noticed the past two years as Tigers’ playcaller. That’s what got him to Stillwater.

That and the fact that his last two quarterbacks, Chad Kanoff in 2017 and John Lovett in ’18, became Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year playing two different ways — Kanoff dropped back and threw the ball, while Lovett was just as likely to run with it.

“I’m coming here to bring what I know about quarterback development to a really successful offense,” Gleeson said.

“That’s kind of been the narrative, to blend those two things together.”

The assumption is if Gleeson can develop Ivy Leaguers, surely he’ll feast with Big 12 talents the caliber of a four-star dual threat like Sanders.

The coach’s first inclina-

tion is to defend Kanoff and Lovett, to remind you both are on NFL rosters.

But he also allows: “The thing, I guess, that is a little different is there’s just so much more… This is a football environment. There’s a few more distractions at Princeton where they’ve got so much going on in other parts of their life. It’s not surpris-

ing to watch a kid like Justice Hill do what he did at the combine. If you want to develop football players there’s no better place in America than right here.

“I think these kids, and the quarterbacks in particular, are very locked in on their growth as players.”

We’re back to the development of OSU’s quarterbacks, the most important of Gleeson’s job requirements. This will be easier to judge once we see Sanders and/or Brown in action, and we discover just how effective Gleeson has meshed their skills with his system.

For now it’s enough for

the new coach to sound encouraged. That way, we can at least feel optimistic.

“The kids we have here,” Gleeson said, “I feel very much at home.”

Driller bits De Fratus pitches gem: Justin De Fratus combined with two relievers on a fourhitter to lead the Drillers past the Northwest Arkansas Naturals 4-0 on Sunday night at ONEOK Field. The Drillers (46-40 overall, 9-8 second half) salvaged a split of the four-game series with the Naturals (39-45, 8-8).

De Fratus (5-4) allowed four hits, struck out six and didn’t issue a walk over seven innings. It was his fifth quality start in his last six appearances.

“He was outstanding,” Drillers manager Scott Hennessey said. “Worked both sides of the plate, he had four pitches going, kept them off balance and never let them get into a rhythm. He never got into a pattern. Just a phenomenal job by a veteran pitcher.”

Zach McKinstry’s 409-foot leadoff homer in the first inning was the only run until Logan Landon’s three-run, two-out double in the seventh. Landon was in an 0-for19 drought since a three-run homer Monday.

“Last night (Saturday) he probably saved us six or seven runs defensively,” Hennessey said. “That was one of the best games I’ve seen in center field in this league in a long time. And Cody Thomas did the same thing for us tonight in left field in both gaps, and showed his athleticism. Just a phenomenal series by our outfielders.”

Thomas had several quality defensive gems, including a tumbling catch to rob Angelo Castellano of a two-run, extrabase hit in the second.

Late Saturday: Cristian Santana lined a walk-off RBI single with two outs and the bases loaded in the ninth to give the Drillers a 3-2 victory over NWA before 6,543 fans at ONEOK Field. Santana, hitless in four previous at-bats, has not gone 0-for-5 in any of his 76 games this season. Tulsa snapped a four-game losing streak.

1918 — Boston’s Babe Ruth lost a home run at Fenway Park when prevailing rules reduce his shot over the fence to a triple. Amos Strunk scored on Ruth’s hit for a 1-0 win over Cleveland. Ruth, who played 95 games in the season, finished tied for the American League title with 11 homers.

1935 — The AL extended its All-Star winning streak to three with a 4-1 victory at Cleveland’s Municipal Stadium. New York Yankee Lefty Gomez went six innings, which prompted the NL to have the rules changed so that no pitcher could throw more than three innings, unless extra innings.

1941 — Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox hit a threerun, two-out homer in the ninth to give the AL a dramatic 7-5 victory in the All-Star game

Monday

at Detroit’s Briggs Stadium. Up to that point Arky Vaughn of the Pittsburgh Pirates was the NL hero with two home runs, the first player to do so in All-Star play. Joe and Dom DiMaggio both played for the AL, marking the first time that brothers appeared in the same All-Star game.
