Final recommendations

Superintendent Keith Ballard will ask the Tulsa school board to close 14 school buildings, retain sixth-graders in all but a handful of the city’s elementary schools and make three high schools accommodate grades 7-12.

Tax-program dropouts may get second chance

Woman serving life requests new hearing in wake of police probe BY OMER GILLHAM

BY RANDY KREHBIEL

World Staff Writer

A Tulsa woman who is serving a life sentence for a drug conviction has asked for a new hearing because a third officer associated with her case has been named in a police corruption probe, court records show. Sheila Devereux, 47, filed an application for post-conviction relief earlier this week in Tulsa County District Court. Devereux, who is now represented by Tulsa attorney Stanley Monroe, was convicted on Oct. 24, 2005, of one count of drug trafficking.

As first reported by the Tulsa World in October, Devereux asked the district attorney to review her life sentence because two Tulsa police officers involved in her arrest are charged with planting drugs in other cases, U.S. District Court records show. SEE INMATE A4

Save Our Tulsa seeks earlier election date BY P.J. LASSEK

World Staff Writer

A nonprofit group, Save Our Tulsa, wants the City Council to set either a July 12 or Aug. 9 election date for voters to decide its proposed changes to the city’s form of government. The group’s effort, led by Tulsa businessman John Brock, would strengthen the mayor’s role and

weaken the council’s along with making changes to council terms and the voting cycle. The July and August dates, however, could cost the city as much as $160,000 if it is the only entity holding an election. The group originally sought to have changes placed on the ballot for the city’s already scheduled Nov. 8 general election. “We just want to move forward

1970 — Earth Day

1989 — Stalker killed

Trash was gathered, streets were swept and ponds and parks were cleaned in the first Earth Day, an event to increase public awareness of environmental problems. More than 2,000 communities participated in the now annual event suggested by Sen. Gaylor Nelson, D-Wis., who said “the polluted countryside represents the antithesis of freedom.”

The highly publicized Morning Stalker rapist who preyed on south Tulsa victims in the early mornings was killed when he pointed a shotgun at two police officers who were investigating a robbery. Police said Royce Owings was responsible for 12 rapes and 20 armed robberies.

1983 — Hitler hoax

More than 200 persons were killed and 1,000 buildings were damaged in Guadalajara, Mexico, by a series of explosions caused by a buildup of gas in the city’s sewer system. Many residents had complained three days earlier about a foul smell in the air, but the government ignored the complaints.

The West German news magazine Stern reported the discovery of 60 previously unknown diaries of Nazi Dictator Adolf Hitler, covering the period from 1932, when Hitler began his rise to power, to his suicide in April 1945. But the diaries turned out to be a hoax. Written on modern paper with modern ink, they

TAXES: The Legislature is considering allowing a “do-over” of sorts. FROM A1

Those 57 equal roughly 15 percent of all program contracts and a big change in the program’s historic performance. “Really, there hasn’t been much (performance failure). Not at all,” said Ken Chuculate of the Oklahoma Tax Commission’s Ad Valorem Division. “In total, it’s been less than 5 percent, and this is an incentive that’s been around since 1986.” Another widely used state incentive program, Quality Jobs, also appears to have been affected by the recession. Rebates paid to employers through Quality Jobs fell 23 percent from 2009 to 2010 as the number of participants leaving the program outstripped the number entering it. The property tax exemptions, as with most Oklahoma tax incentives, are received only after the conditions of the program are met. The 57 employers’ failure to

tions can be held. The deadline to call for an election in July is midMay, she said Bryant said that if more than one entity has an election on the same day, they split the cost of the shared precincts. On Wednesday, the council received a written request from Save Our Tulsa to set an election date. Earlier this month, City Clerk Mike Kier certified three initiative petitions submitted by the group in December. The City Charter calls for the council to select the election dates for initiative petitions within one year of the submission of the petitions. The petitions, bearing a collective 84,253 signatures, were submitted to Kier in early December. The first petition had 26,635 signatures verified, the second 26,997 and the third 26,895, meaning that 3,726 signatures out of the total

meet requirements, therefore, has not cost the state anything. Under current law, employers that do not meet requirements are out of the program and can receive no further exemptions. The Legislature, however, is considering a “do-over” of sorts. Senate Bill 935, by Senate President Pro Tem Brian Bingman, RSapulpa, would allow companies that missed the mark for 2009 to get back into the program if they fulfilled the requirements in 2010. They would not receive the exemption for 2009 but could receive it for another outgoing year. In effect, the company would have six years instead of five to meet the five-year requirements. It could be argued that the measure will have an impact on the state, since employers could regain exemptions they would have lost under current law. Bingman’s communications director, Jarred Brejcha, said the bill “helps companies if they lost employees during the financial crisis by rewarding them for bringing those employees back.” The Tax Commission estimates about $10.1 million in tax exemptions are at stake, although Chuculate said it is not known how many of the 57 affected employers will

get back into the program. Brejcha said SB 935 was filed at the request of a company in Bingman’s district. Brejcha said he did not know the name of the company. Meanwhile, Quality Jobs rebates tumbled to $49.9 million in 2010 from a record $64.8 million in 2009. Through April 15, Quality Jobs has paid out $17.1 million in 2011. Quality Jobs rebates up to 5 percent of an employer’s payroll providing certain employment and investment requirements are met. The largest active contract is with Dell Computers, which has received $15.6 million since 2005. Eight of the 10 largest Quality Jobs contracts, in terms of total payout, are no longer active, in most cases because recipients had received the maximum benefit or completed the 10-year term of the contract. Many other companies, however, have left the program, either voluntarily or because their contracts were terminated for failure to live up to the terms. Since the start of 2009, 42 new contracts have been signed while 49 were voided.

were thrown out. The threshold for each was 16,709 signatures, based on 25 percent of the 66,836 voters who participated in the November 2009 municipal general election. The three petition issues are: • Keeping nine council districts but adding three at-large members and the mayor to form a 13-member City Council. The mayor would be its chairman and would vote only in cases of a tie. • Returning council positions to two-year terms and merging elections with the state and federal cycle. • Changing elected offices to nonpartisan races. A candidate who gets more than 50 percent of the vote wins the seat. Otherwise, the two candidates with the most votes advance to the general election. The petitions are being challenged in Tulsa County District Court by four Tulsa residents. The lawsuit claims the group is “logrolling” multiple issues into one ballot question. It also challenges whether enough signatures were gathered. One of the plaintiffs, Herb Beattie, a community activist, has said that the proposed changes by Save Our Tulsa would ensure that “money would control Tulsa, rath-

er than one man, one vote.” Brock said Thursday he doesn’t think the legal challenge will prevail, and if there is a trial on the matter, he doesn’t think that will interfere with a public vote. Meanwhile, the City Council is pursuing a change-of-government proposal that would likely be placed on the Nov. 8 election and could face Save Our Tulsa’s changes if the council put both efforts on the November ballot. Councilors have been working on their proposal to have Tulsa run by a city manager who would answer to them. The mayor would be made a member of the council but with a diminished executive role. The council is still working out the details of its proposal and is planning a series of meetings in May to gather public input. Prior to Save Our Tulsa requesting different election dates, the council was told by Interim City Attorney David Pauling that, theoretically, if both proposals were placed on the same ballot they could both pass. Pauling said the question that gained the highest majority would prevail.

DeBruin and Wells are charged with theft of U.S. funds, possession of drugs and civil rights violations and are accused of planting small amounts of methamphetamine and crack cocaine on people. They are not accused of wrongdoing in the Devereux case. Re c e n t d e ve l o p m e n t s reveal that a third Tulsa police officer involved in Devereux’s case has been named as an unindicted coconspirator in the trial of Officers Jeff Henderson and Bill Yelton, her filing states. Frank Khalil was named as an unindicted co-conspirator March 24 by federal prosecutors overseeing the grand jury investigation of the Tulsa Police Department, a World investigation shows. Khalil is not charged with wrongdoing. The police trial for Henderson and Yelton is scheduled to begin June 20, while the trial for DeBruin, Wells and Officer Bruce Bonham is scheduled for May 16. Bonham is not connected to the Devereux case. Devereux’s adult children are hopeful about their mother’s chances of being freed from prison but realize that their options are dwindling, said Tyler Devereux,

Blagojevich jury process a challenge CHICAGO (AP) — An uncharacteristically subdued Rod Blagojevich got a good look Thursday at the first big challenge facing the ousted Illinois governor at his retrial on corruption charges: finding jurors who haven’t already heard about his case and haven’t decided he’s guilty. In a first day of jury questioning by U.S. District Judge James Zagel, a string of potential panelists said they believed politicians take bribes and that they view politics as dirty. Some told the judge they believe they can put aside their opinions and be fair in judging Blagojevich. One man wrote in his pretrial questionnaire that “Gov. Blagojevich was lucky that he wasn’t convicted.” Zagel later declined to eliminate him from the jury pool, saying he accepted the man’s assurance that he could be fair. Among others the judge refused to excuse was a former prosecutor who said it would be hard for him not to be influenced by what he knows of Blagojevich. The judge questioned about 20 prospective jurors and at the end of the day agreed to eliminate about half of them based on challenges from prosecutors and the defense. Blagojevich’s first trial ended last year with jurors deadlocked on all but one count of lying to the FBI. The 54-yearold former governor still faces 20 charges, including accusations he sought to sell or trade an appointment to President Barack Obama’s old U.S. Senate seat for campaign cash or a top job. Zagel has indicated there could be at least three more days of juror questioning before 12 jurors and a number of alternates are chosen. Published in the Tulsa World, April 22, 2011, Tulsa, OK NOTICE Notice is hereby given that Bank of the West, 180 Montgomery Street, San Francisco, California, 94104, has filed with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, an application to establish and operate a new branch office to be located at 3549 S Peoria Avenue, City and County of Tulsa, Oklahoma.

her 20-year-old son. “This is a long process, and we must wait and see how it goes,” he said. “My mother is an optimistic person, but we must be patient.” On Sept. 30, the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals

upheld Devereux’s life sentence by denying her request to modify her sentence, records show. Devereux’s appeal argued numerous points, including that her sentence was cruel and unusual punishment. Tyler Devereux, a junior majoring in electrical engineering at the University of Tulsa, said: “My family and I are extremely grateful for Stanley Monroe and his office as they have continued to help my mother’s case move forward. We are now praying the DA’s Office sees the injustice of my mom’s case and

that they take a good look at the three officers involved in it.” Assistant District Attorney Doug Drummond said: “We have received the filing, and we will remain objective, and we will look at the issues of law as we go forward.” A jury sentenced Sheila Devereux to life without parole under the Uniform Controlled Dangerous Substance Act, according to her denied appeal. With two previous convictions for drug possession, she qualified for a life sentence under Oklahoma’s three-strikes law.

Her co-defendant, Earnest Allen Butler, 71, was paroled from prison in October 2009, Department of Corrections records show. He pleaded guilty on March 15, 2005, to drug trafficking and received a 13-year prison term, records show. Butler has a previous felony drug conviction. Devereux and Butler were found to have possessed 6.28 grams of cocaine base, which qualified them for drug-trafficking convictions by about 1 gram. In state court, 5 grams or more of cocaine base (crack) qualifies a person for a drug-trafficking charge, court officials have said. In federal court, the law governing crack-cocaine distribution was raised last year to 28 grams from 5 grams for a prison term of five years to 40 years. For a term of 10 years to life, the amount was raised to 280 grams from 50 grams. For his client, Monroe is asking for an evidentiary hearing based on newly discovered evidence and alleged ineffective counsel. The new evidence includes an alleged pattern of misconduct by Wells, DeBruin and Khalil, which could render

the officers impeachable as witnesses in Devereux’s case if an evidentiary hearing is granted, Monroe’s filing states. After her life sentence was upheld on appeal, Devereux’s family contacted the World and learned that District Attorney Tim Harris’ office is reviewing the cases of eight current and former Tulsa police officers whose names have surfaced in the grand jury investigation. Currently, 31 people have been freed from prison, had felony cases dismissed or had sentences reduced as part of the investigation. Devereux’s case is one of dozens of cases being reviewed by the District Attorney’s Office, Drummond has said. Her case is a higher priority because she refused to take a plea agreement, Drummond said. Devereux, who has maintained that she never engaged in drug trafficking, refused a plea agreement of seven years in prison, the World has reported.

House OKs bill to require more district funding for teacher pension system A requirement that school districts pay more into the state teachers’ pension fund for retired teachers who are hired back part time could pump $5 million a year into the underfunded system under a measure approved Thursday by the House of Representatives. A floor amendment approved Thursday to Senate Bill 891 would require school districts to pay the same rate for part-time retired teachers that they pay for full-time teachers — 16.5 percent of their salaries, said Rep. Randy McDaniel, the bill’s author. School districts now pay 9.5 percent for retired teachers who are hired part time. SB 891 passed by a vote of 77-17. It now goes go the Senate. The measure, if passed, would take effect July 1, 2012, to allow school districts to plan for the

change. The $5 million in additional revenue would go to the Oklahoma Teachers Retirement System. The teachers’ pension plan has a $10.4 billion unfunded liability and is 47.9 percent funded, which means that if all teachers and retired teachers cashed in their pensions at once, the plan could pay only 48 cents on the dollar. “It will improve the financial soundness of the plan,” said McDaniel, R-Oklahoma City. “If we can keep making improvements such as this, we’re trying to get it in fine financial condition.” The measure covers public schools, colleges and most universities, he said. Public schools and higher education would generate some savings by hiring retired teachers to work part time instead of hiring full-time teachers, McDaniel said.

NEWS BRIEF 5 Abidjan, Ivory Coast

Infighting erupts among Ivorian new army forces Ivory Coast’s new army turned its guns on a former ally who helped install the democratically elected president but failed on Thursday to defeat the renegade forces in Abidjan, military sources said. Infighting among forces who recognize President Alassane Ouattara also erupted Wednesday in the southwestern port of San Pedro, the sources said. The violence presents a major setback for the country, which was taking timid steps toward normality following the April 11 arrest of strongman President Laurent Gbagbo. U.N. spokesman Hamadoun Toure confirmed fighting in the two Abidjan suburbs and in the port city. He said mortars and rockets were used.

Bomb kills three police officers in Afghanistan BY AMIR SHAH

Associated Press

KABUL, Afghanistan — Fighting has escalated in eastern Afghanistan as Afghan and coalition forces step up their attacks on insurgents along the Pakistan border and militants retaliate with attacks on pro-government forces, including a bomb blast Thursday that killed three Afghan policemen. Ahmad Zia Abdulzai, a spokesman for the governor of Nangarhar province, said the three policemen were killed by a bomb that was placed on a bus. The bus was transporting Afghan policemen and trainees to a training academy in the provincial capital of Jalalabad. Six others on the bus were wounded in the explosion, Abdulzai said. Afghanistan’s spring fighting season is expected to be in full force by the end of this month. Before winter set in, tens of thousands of U.S. and NATO reinforcements routed the Taliban from their strongholds, captured leading figures and destroyed weapons caches. The militants, known for their resiliency, responded with high-profile attacks across the nation. What’s unknown is how strong the Taliban will prove to be as the fighting gears up in what could be a defining year in the nearly decade-old war. “In the last several weeks, the activity is starting to go up more, so they (insurgents) are starting to come back” from Pakistan, said Maj. Gen. John Campbell, commander of coalition forces in eastern Afghanistan. Campbell spoke to reporters Wednesday night at Bagram Air Field. “We’ve hammered the Haqqani network and the insurgents,” he said, referring to the insurgent network, which is affiliated with alQaida and often blamed for attacks in the Kabul. “We killed a lot of low-level and mid-level leadership, espe-

cially the Haqqani network, because we have really been going after that. And what we have started to see is that leadership is much younger and less experienced.” Campbell said the spring offensive would continue to attack safe havens and supply lines in eastern Afghanistan with the help of Pakistani forces on the other side of the border. At least 21 U.S. troops have been killed in Afghanistan so far this year, at least 10 in eastern Afghanistan. In other incidents in the east, two Afghan men were killed and four other people — three women and a child — were wounded Thursday when their van struck a roadside mine in Dih Yak district of Ghazni province, said Sher Khan Yousefzai, the top local official in neighboring Andar

although doubts persist that the Afghan government will be capable after 2014 of sustaining the gains achieved by then. Each spring and summer the Taliban step up their attacks against Afghan government forces and the NATO-led coalition supporting them. “We have driven the Taliban out of areas they have controlled for years, including their heartland,” Gates said at a Pentagon news conference. “They clearly intend to try and take that back. If we can prevent them this year from retaking the areas that we have taken away from them and we can continue to expand the security bubble, I think it’s possible that by the end of this year we will have turned a corner, just because of the Taliban being driven out and, more importantly, kept out.” district. A French soldier was killed and nine others were wounded when their armored vehicle struck a roadside bomb Wednesday in Kapisa province, the French Defense Ministry said. Also, 17 insurgents, including foreign fighters, were killed Tuesday in Kunar province by Afghan and coalition forces searching for a senior leader of the al-Qaida network, NATO said late Wednesday. According to the coalition, the al-Qaida leader commanded insurgents and directed the purchase of equipment used to attack pro-government forces in the border region. NATO also said that a Haqqani operator was captured Wednesday in Tere Zayi district of Khost province, which borders Pakistan.

Gates touts gains made in war in Afghanistan WASHINGTON (AP) — If hard-won security gains made against the Taliban over the past year can be sustained during the peak fighting season in Afghanistan this summer, the U.S. and its allies may find they have “turned a corner” by the end of this year, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Thursday. It was one of the more optimistic comments about the war’s outlook by Gates, who has overseen an escalation of U.S. fighting this year and is widely expected to retire in coming months. The U.S. plans to begin pulling out some of its nearly 100,000 troops in Afghanistan in July. The stated U.S. and NATO goal is to have Afghan forces take the combat lead by the end of 2014. Gates’ comment suggested that he believes the war timeline is on track,

More than 150 parents, students, faculty and community members on Thursday attended the last Tulsa Council of PTAs forum, held at Clinton Middle School, 2224 W. 41st St., to voice concerns on the potential closures and changes to Addams, Park, Barnard and Bell elementary schools under Project Schoolhouse proposals. Shelby Huerta held back tears as she asked Tulsa school district officials why Addams was slated to close under all three proposals when it sits on 10 acres, has room to grow and houses a Cherokee language program. Superintendent Keith Ballard said a number of criteria were looked at when considering closing schools. “It has to do with size, location, potential — a number of things,” he said. “There will be a number of schools closing because of Project Schoolhouse.” Associate Superintendent Millard House said school boundaries will be redrawn and that students within those boundaries will be enrolled in neighborhood schools first. If space is available, the schools can accept transfers, he said. Another parent said his child transfers to Barnard because the school in his area is on the needsimprovement list. He asked what

would happen if Barnard closed. House said parents who have a No Child Left Behind transfer will still have the option of transferring. Byron Watson received a round of applause when he asked where funds from Indian gaming and bond issues are going. Ballard said Indian gaming funds go through the state and that bond issue funds are accounted for on the school district’s website. “I don’t think we have benefitted from the casinos,” Ballard said. “Every penny is accounted for; it’s on the website. We’re being a good steward of money.” Ballard will make public his final recommendations for closing and consolidating schools in the Tulsa school system on Friday. The school board has scheduled a public hearing on the topic for April 26 in advance of its May 2 vote. Ballard told those at the forum that immersion programs and magnet programs are popular with parents and that he will look at replicating them in other schools. Originally, the three proposals had as many as 17 schools closing, but Ballard said the recommendation he’s presenting to the school board will close 14 and will save about $5 million.

Ballard’s plan includes no closures or relocations for magnet schools. Grade configurations would change in every feeder pattern except Edison Preparatory School. Central, McLain and Rogers high schools would have 7-12 grade configurations, which were closely patterned after Edison’s, which is grades 6-12. Rogers would offer students the opportunity to simultaneously earn high school diplomas and associate degrees. But only students in the Kendall-Whittier and Sequoyah elementary school boundaries would be guaranteed admission there. All other seats would be awarded by a lottery.

East Central, Hale, Memorial and Webster would remain ninth through 12thgrade high schools, but remaining middle schools would become junior highs for students in grades 7-8 and be renamed for the high schools into which they feed. Affected elementary schools would keep students through the sixth-grade. “Our guiding philosophy is that fewer transitions are better for kids,” Ballard said. “We have seen significant achievement and adjustment problems in the sixth-grade level and this recommendation addresses that and strengthens students’ connection to their high school earlier, which we think will

decrease drop-outs.”

One school — Roosevelt Elementary — had not been targeted for closure in three proposals released in March, but ended up in Ballard’s recommendation. And Hamilton and Lewis and Clark would become pre-kindergarten through sixth grade elementary schools, although that idea hadn’t been discussed publicly before.

grades across the district and it really addresses the sixthgrade problem and helps kids identify with their high schools sooner,” Ballard told the Tulsa World. If approved by the school board, the plan would save Tulsa Public Schools about $5 million annually and eliminate 6,000 of the district’s 10,000 empty seats. “This only starts the process,” Ballard said “I think this is a pretty good start for what we need for financial and instructional efficiency. Every year, we need to review our situation and make necessary adjustments.” The 14 buildings recommended for closure are currently home to 10 elementary schools, two middle schools and two alternative education schools. Additionally, the entire student populations of eight other schools will be reassigned to other sites so those buildings can be converted for other uses. Officials have already issued public warnings that even students at remaining schools could be displaced by attendance-area boundary changes or by fewer available seats for transfer students. Those details won’t be worked out until after the school board votes on the plan May 2, Ballard said.

The plan would save the district $5 million annually.

The process One accusation that TPS leaders heard repeatedly at public forums held in schools throughout the city was that their minds were already made up before the Project Schoolhouse initiative began. Ballard said his recommendation proves that criticism was erroneous. “Community impact has had a huge impact on this,” he said. “We had proposals that have been implemented into the process that came directly from teachers and parents. We were also very influenced by the principals in the Webster feeder patter. We ended

up taking one of their plans. Expanding the immersion and magnet programs — all of that came from community.” For example, the facility that was formerly Monroe Middle School will be repurposed immediately. The programs used at Mayo and Thoreau Demonstration Academies and language immersion programs at Eisenhower and Zarrow will be replicated there to increase student access to proven models for success, Ballard said. With the help of a think tank-like group and a schoolboard-appointed citizens advisory council, TPS put forward three closure and consolidation proposals that would close up to 17 schools to net the district an annual savings of $6 million to $9 million. As soon as those proposals were released in late March, Ballard said his final recommendation to the school board would likely incorporate concepts from all three, plus take into account ideas and concerns generated by public discussion. Parents and teachers at Chouteau Elementary School were among the first people to take Ballard up on that of-

fer to consider new ideas. They developed their own proposals to try to save their school, which had been targeted for closure in two of the three initial proposals. Their suggestion to close the Chouteau facility, which is near capacity, and relocate and expand at the Madison Middle School facility nearby made Ballard’s final cut. “We know teachers, students and traditions will be disrupted, but it has happened before. We will do everything in our power to make the transition as smooth as possible.”

Obama announces probe of gas prices ••A•task•force•has• been•assigned•under• the•attorney•general. BY STEVEN THOMMA AND KEVIN G. HALL

McClatchy News Service

WASHINGTON• —• President• Barack• Obama• announced• Thursday• that• his• administration• will• investigate•to•see•if•fraud•or•manipulation•in•oil•markets•is•behind• the•sharp•increase•in•gasoline• prices. “We•are•going•to•make•sure• that• no• one• is• taking• advantage• of• the• American• people• for• their• own• short-term• gain,”• Obama• said• at• a• town• hall•meeting•in•Reno,•Nev. He•said•a•government• task• force•under•Attorney•General• Eric• Holder• would• “root• out• any• cases• of• fraud• or• manipulation”• in• gasoline• prices,• “and•that•includes•the•role•of• traders•and•speculators.” Financial• speculation• is• widely• considered• a• possible• reason• for• higher• oil• prices.• Despite• turmoil• in• the• Middle• East,• there• has• been• no• significant•interruption•of•oil• production,• and• supplies• remain• abundant.• Meanwhile,• financial• institutions• have• been• purchasing• contracts• for• future• oil• delivery• as• an• investment• strategy,• driving• up•prices. Other• factors• contributing• to• rising• oil• prices• are• thought• be• a• fear• of• future• supply• interruption• because• of•the•troubles•in•the•Middle• East,•and•projections•of•more• demand• for• oil• as• the• global• economy•recovers.

President Barack Obama shakes hands with a member of the audience as he leaves a town hall meeting Thursday at ElectraTherm, Inc., a small renewable energy company in Reno, Nev. The president discussed bringing down the deficit and gas prices. RICH PEDRONCELLI/Associated Press

Reported missing: comments with tone

NE OF the changes that has taken place, now that this newspaper is charging a little something for its content on the website, has to do with the tone of reader responses online. Reader opinion printed on paper, signed by real name and verified, always has seemed more respectful, even in disagreement. With your name on something, you wouldn’t want to say that you’re glad somebody died in an airplane crash. Before lightly edited anonymous online responses, the predecessor was a callthe-editor feature whereby a certain number of lunatics rang in on a regular basis to shout politics and vent frustrations that couldn’t be verbalized at home, in the workplace, possibly even in the slammer. You could always tell which office person was transcribing the anonymous call-in feature. That employee sat glassy-eyed with a headset typing up shouts and cuss words. Projecting a caller profile was easier when you could put a voice to the attack: that one, heavy smoker, still in sleeping gear at noon. The tones of the internet responses from paying customers and occasional drop-ins seem calmer and more focused than was the case before. Some characters are missed: The problem in today’s society with the state of characters and people who could be a little off is that they have been driven to rehab, or to computers in the corner. Not all colorful people require professional assistance. Not that there’s all that much wrong with being different. Dangerous people have done colorful people no good. Readers with personal grudges disguised as disfavor with something written, they have little to contribute beyond hidden agendas. But those who have been divorced once too often, or those who dropped out too soon, or those who could do the job 10 times better than most of those for whom they work, or those who have absolutely no luck whatsoever, or those who could quit something bad for their health at any time, or those who love playing the slot machines, or those who have a great idea for a book or a movie, or those who cannot stand the establishment, or those who are due, listen, think it over. What’s a couple of quarters a day for the newspaper. Many of those abstaining from the news and events of the day probably gamble more than that. A few of you nuts are missed.

TPS weighs in on chief’s email • Ballard says the district didn’t know about his remarks.

UNDER FIRE TPS Police Chief Gary Rudick: He praised the arrest of a principal in an email.

BY ANDREA EGER AND NICOLE MARSHALL World Staff Writers

An email from Tulsa Public Schools Police Chief Gary Rudick to Tulsa police in support of an elementary school principal’s arrest prompted a response from the school district Thursday. Lynnette L. Dixon, 45, was arrested March 7 on a complaint of “delay officer — distraction” on allegations that she argued with officers

who were trying to take her daughter’s boyfriend into custody, records show. Dixon is the principal at Hawthorne Elementary School, 1105 E. 33rd St. North. After her arrest, Tulsa Public Schools Superintendent Keith Ballard placed her on suspension with pay

during an investigation. One day after Dixon’s arrest, Rudick sent an email to the Tulsa Police Department division commander who supervises the officers who made the arrest, according to the email provided to the Tulsa World by Dixon’s attorney, Richard O’Carroll. Rudick praised the arrest, saying Dixon was “a real problem with an attitude that needs to be corrected.” He told police to make sure prosecutors were on board and wouldn’t “bow to public pressure” over the arrest. He also stated in the email that “the School District from the Superintendent on

down” supports the arrest. Ballard released a statement Thursday morning denying knowledge of or involvement in sending the email. He acknowledged the seriousness of the matter and pledged to launch a full investigation next week. “Neither the superintendent nor anyone at TPS other

than Chief Rudick knew of the existence of the email until April 19, 2011, when Chief Rudick brought it to our attention. No one at TPS authorized or directed Chief Rudick to send the email,” Ballard’s written statement says. “The superintendent does not agree with many of the statements contained in the email but because this matter involves a confidential internal employee matter as well as an ongoing municipal criminal matter, it would be inappropriate at this time to discuss the email in detail,” the statement says.

CITY PLANTING: UP WITH TREES

Ice storm recovery leads to urban forest renewal BY ALTHEA PETERSON

Tree planting tips

World Staff Writer

When: Take the summer off and plant from Oct. 15 to April 15, or “Halloween to Tax Day.” Where: Plan for permanent tree placement, as trees that are moved usually die. Trees planted close to water and trees with more leaves tend to be more susceptible to damage. Worst: Trees that grow fast, such as the silver maple, do not stand up to Tulsa-area winds well. Trees with more leaves or ones that are not well-maintained also do not hold up well against Oklahoma weather. Best: Eastern Redbuds are native and popular to plant in the area, but diversity is most important when choosing which trees to plant. Don’t plant same types as everyone else, as this can quickly spread diseases. Source: Maureen Turner, city of Tulsa chief horticulturist

n December 2007, an ice storm had just hit the Tulsa area, and officials gathered at the Emergency Operations Center. Amid discussing power outages and other safety issues, thenTulsa Mayor Kathy Taylor said she remembered being surrounded by piles of destroyed trees, leading to a project she describes as “one of the most positive experiences I had as mayor.” “We started talking about the fact, how are we going to replace those with the city budget?” Taylor said. “You might think it would be difficult to raise money to plant trees.” The answer was ReGreen Tulsa, a privately funded drive to plant 20,000 trees by 2010, said Maureen Turner, the city’s chief horticulturist and operations manager. There is no official estimate on the number of trees lost to the ice storm. But officials say that with damage to trees that survived, and the loss of trees that didn’t, about

Damage from an ice storm in December 2007 resulted in the loss of many trees in the Tulsa area. JAMES GIBBARD/Tulsa World file

1 million years in tree growth was lost to the storm, Turner said. ReGreen Tulsa was initially about more than just tree planting, she said. “It was just immense,” she said. “It took my department a year and a half to just clean up the trees.”

To ensure the integrity of the tree count, half of the ReGreen trees were to be planted by Up With Trees, said Anna America, that organization’s executive director. SEE GREEN A16

Jury finds in favor of TU Donor buys kangaroo insurance

• Jurors decline to fault the university for the death of a football player. BY DAVID HARPER World Staff Writer

A federal jury on Thursday found in favor of the University of Tulsa in a lawsuit filed by the parents of a TU football player who died in April 2006. David and Lin Adair alleged that negligence by TU caused the death of Devin Adair, but the jury found in favor of the school after a little more than two hours of deliberations. Attorney James Secrest

STUDENT Devin Adair: He died in April 2006 of a rare bacterial infection.

Sr. — representing TU — said during his closing argument Thursday that “Devin didn’t deserve to die. It wasn’t his fault, but it wasn’t our fault, either.” Secrest told the jurors that the “case is really about the medicine” behind the rare disease pyomyositis and the expert testimony of Dr. Daniel

Sexton, which was introduced by the defense Wednesday. “If you don’t believe Dr. Sexton, we lose,” Secrest said. “But why not believe Dr. Sexton?” Sexton, a medical professor in the Infectious Diseases Division at Duke University, testified via video that he has seen no more than seven cases of pyomyositis out of the more than 30,000 patients he has treated during the last 40 years. He said the medical professionals who treated Adair before his death April 28, 2006, had no reason to suspect that the 21-year-old had contractSEE TU A15

• A stranger is said to have bought the policy the Broken Arrow City Council required. BY SUSAN HYLTON World Staff Writer

BROKEN ARROW — The kindness of a stranger has given Christie Carr hope that she will not have to leave town in order to keep her red kangaroo. The City Council is requiring Carr to buy a $50,000 insurance policy in the event that Irwin the kangaroo, who is disabled,

injures someone. Carr told the council Tuesday that she couldn’t afford that. But a State Farm Insurance representative contacted her Wednesday to say that someone had bought a policy for her and that it would be mailed to her by the end of the week. “All I know is it’s an angel disguised as a common person,” Carr said. It’s possible that if the State Farm policy hadn’t come through, something else would have. Carr said she has received overwhelming support in emails and messages and posts on Facebook and Twitter and offers from other

people to pay or help pay for the insurance. “I’m still kind of in shock today,” she said Thursday. “This is the first time I ever remember having swollen eyes from good cries that someone would do something like that. This little kangaroo boy has stolen their hearts, and it’s just by pictures.” Broken Arrow’s ordinance prohibits residents from keeping exotic animals, such as kangaroos, as pets. Mayor Mike Lester said the ordinance was written after a resident started keeping two lions. SEE DONOR A16

Doctor acquitted in alleged assisted suicide PHOENIX (AP) — An Arizona jury on Thursday acquitted a doctor of manslaughter charges in the suicide of a Phoenix woman who authorities say had help killing herself. Dr. Lawrence Egbert, who also is indicted in Georgia on charges that he helped a man with cancer there kill himself, was one of four people charged by Arizona authorities in Jana Van Voorhis’ death. Jurors could not reach a verdict for a co-defendant, Frank Langsner. Authorities say the four were part of a Georgia-based right-to-die organization called Final Exit Network,

which has been investigated by the FBI and authorities in Arizona and seven other states. Maricopa County prosecutors said the other two defendants in the case — Wye Hale-Rowe and Roberta Massey — had pleaded guilty to one count of facilitation to commit manslaughter and agreed to testify in the case. Authorities believe that Van Voorhis placed a plastic hood over her head that was hooked up to helium tanks. She was found dead in her Phoenix home on April 15, 2007. Prosecutors said Van Voorhis was not terminally ill at the time of her death but suf-

fered from mental-health issues and depression. Langsner and Hale-Rowe were accused of showing Van Voorhis how to use the hood and tank. Egbert and Massey’s alleged involvement was through their work in processing applications to the organization, which is suspected of assisting other suicides in Arizona. Although an initial autopsy showed that Van Voorhis died of natural causes, another autopsy revealed that her death was a result of helium asphyxiation. An investigation by Phoenix police uncovered Van Voorhis’ involvement with the Final Exit Network.

Smoking bans could proliferate by 2020, CDC says ATLANTA (AP) — By 2020, every state might have bans on smoking in restaurants, bars and the workplace, federal health officials predicted Thursday, based on the current pace of adopting antismoking laws. The number of states with comprehensive indoor smoking bans went from zero in 2000 to 25 in 2010. “It is by no means a foregone conclusion that we’ll get there by 2020,” said Dr. Tim McAfee, director of the CDC’s Office on Smoking and Health. But the success of the smoking ban movement has been astounding, and seems to be accelerating, he added. “I’m relatively bullish we’ll at least get close to that number.” Nearly half of U.S. resi-

dents are covered by comprehensive state or local indoor smoking bans, the CDC estimated, in a new report. Another 10 states have laws than ban smoking in workplaces, bars or restaurants, but not in all three venues. Some other states have less restrictive laws, like requiring smoking areas with separate ventilation. Only seven states have no indoor smoking restrictions, although some of their cities do: Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, West Virginia and Wyoming. Gary Nolan, director of a smokers’ rights group, said he wouldn’t be surprised if the CDC’s prediction came true. Public health officials and others have been putting tremendous pressure on bars

and businesses to bar smoking, he added. “It wouldn’t surprise me if they prevailed,” said Nolan, of the Smoker’s Club. “It’s just a little bit more liberty slipping away at the hands of big government.” Tobacco smoke is an established cause of lung cancer, heart disease and other maladies, and smoking has been called one of the nation’s leading causes of death. The science on the impact of smoking bans is younger. Because it takes years or even decades for cancers to develop, there’s little information on the impact of bans on cancer rates. But studies have already charted declines in adult heart attack rates and in childhood asthma attacks after smoking bans were adopted in some communities.

The• corner• of• the• vast• showroom• floor• that• served• as• Vern• Garbe’s• “office”• didn’t• give• him• much• privacy. But• that’s• how• Garbe,• the• founder•of•the•Garbe’s•home• furnishings• store• in• Tulsa,• liked• it.• It• gave• his• customers,• whom• he• enjoyed• watching• file• by,• quick• and• easy•access•to•him. “I•will•not•fence•myself•behind•doors.•I•love•people•too• much,”• Garbe• once• told• the• Tulsa•World. Best• known• for• its• lighting•fixtures• and•other•home• décor• accessories,• Garbe’s,• at• 4137• S.• 72nd• East• Ave.,• opened• in• 1970• and• quickly• established• itself• as• a• destination• for• shoppers• looking• to•add•a•little•luxury•to•their• lives. As• sales• soared,• Garbe• and• his• wife• and• business• partner,• Martha• Garbe,• welcomed• customers• from• far• and•wide,•many•of•them•flying•in•from•across•the•country•just•to•shop•at•their•store.

Vernon• G.• “Vern”• Garbe,• who• built• a• business• that• after• 40• years• is• still• in• the• family,• died• April• 9.• He• was• 88. A•service•was•held•April•13• under•the•direction•of•Floral• Haven•Funeral•Home•of•Broken•Arrow. After• serving• in• the• Army• Air• Forces• during• World• War•II,•Garbe•came•to•Tulsa,• where,• with• less• than• $5• in• his•pocket,•he•spent•his•first• night• in• the• old• downtown• bus•station. The• Missouri• native,• who• met•his•wife•in•Tulsa•in•1947,• found•work•at•Clark-Darland• Hardware• near• First• Street• and•Cincinnati•Avenue. Six• years• later,• he• bought• the•store•and•ran•it•with•two• partners. Over• time,• Garbe• worked• his• way• into• managing• a• chain•of•hardware•stores•for• the•Kilpatrick•Co. When• the• chain’s• owner• decided•to•close,•Vern•Garbe• bought• one• of• the• stores,• at• 6516•E.•42nd•St.,•renamed•it• Garbe’s• and• went• into• business•with•his•wife. Expanding•into•home•furnishings,• the• Garbes• soon• moved•to•a•new•site,•a•facility• with•a•warehouse•and•showroom•that•they•kept•stocked• by• traveling• the• world• in• search• of• exotic• and• unique• items.

Garbe• said• he• originally• envisioned• the• store• as• a• small• “ma• and• pa”• business.• But•during•the•boom•years•of• the• 1970s• and• ‘80s,• Garbe’s• posted•as•much•as•$6•million• in• sales• annually• and• grew• from• three• employees• to• a• staff•of•60. Still,•Garbe,•who•had•a•gift• for• gab,• maintained• the• personal•touch•of•a•smaller•business,• taking• care• of• many• of• the•customers•himself. The• business• remains• in• the• family.• Martha• Garbe’s• nephew• Dave• Schulze• and• his•wife,•Mary•Schulze,•took• over• the• operation• a• few• years•ago. “We’re• trying• to• carry• on• what• they• built,”• Dave• Schulze• said.• “Vern• established• a• family• atmosphere,• and• many• of• our• employees• have•been•with•us•for•years,• and• many• of• our• customers• are•repeat.” Despite•the•glaucoma•that• left•him•legally•blind•for•the• last•several•years,•Garbe•kept• his• trademark• optimism• to• the• end• and• telephoned• often• to• encourage• the• staff,• Schulze•said. Garbe• is• survived• by• his• wife• of• 63• years,• Martha• Garbe,• and• several• nieces• and•nephews. Tim Stanley 918-581-8385 tim.stanley@tulsaworld.com

LOCAL Police investigating mail-, identity-theft operation

Leslie Reeser Stroman, 57, was accused of handing a Buffalo Run Casino cashier a note Jan. 9 demanding about $10,000 in “large bills.” According to an affidavit, Stroman wrote that he was not armed and signed off as “the Gentleman Bandit, thank you and I’ll be on my Stroman way.” That “way” turned out to be brief. The cashier pushed the panic button at her station before handing Stroman all the $100 bills in her cash drawer, and tribal security and other law enforcement officers arrested Stroman before he left the property, according to the affidavit. Stroman pleaded guilty Jan. 19 to a charge filed Jan. 11 by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Tulsa. On Thursday, U.S. Chief District Judge Claire Eagan ordered Stroman to be under court supervision for three years after his prison sentence ends. During his supervised release, Stroman will be expected to undergo mental-health counseling that includes treatment for gambling addiction. He also will be expected to stay out of gaming establishments during that period. — DAVID HARPER, World staff writer

Tulsa police detectives have uncovered a mail- and identitytheft operation that has more than 280 possible victims in Tulsa and Pittsburg Counties, authorities said Thursday. Officers have been sifting through bags of stolen mail for two weeks and notifying victims, Detective Cheryl Compton said. Police have found counterfeit checks, counterfeit identification cards, titles to cars, insurance cards and other various stolen items, she said. Compton said the thieves stole mail during burglaries with the intent to commit identity theft — the most popular complaint made to the Federal Trade Commission, according to that organization. She and Detective Don Wright began to share information on their respective cases involving stolen checks and a burglary of an older resident’s home. Police said they have interviewed suspects and have three possible arrests associated with the thefts. When one suspect was contacted by police, she allegedly produced several bags containing stolen mail, police reported. Compton said a U.S. postal inspector has been involved in the investigation, and federal charges could be filed. Police have notified as many Two armed men hold up victims as they can, including those from 54 police reports eastside QuikTrip store related to stolen items, Compton Two robbers held up a consaid. venience store early Thursday, “If you have not been notified, forcing a clerk at gunpoint to you are not a victim,” she said. — JARREL WADE, World staff writer hand over cash from a safe, police said.

ed the “extraordinarily rare” bacterial muscle infection. “I don’t think anybody could have saved Devin,” Sexton testified. Plaintiffs’ attorney Gregg Luther said during his closing argument that Adair’s death was “totally preventable” and that the infection should have been detected and treated by the TU football training staff before it grew lethal. Luther compared Adair’s condition to a fire that started as a spark that could have been put out with a cup of water before it turned into an inferno. But Sexton testified that there would have been no reason to suspect that a stu-

dent-athlete with relatively innocuous symptoms was silently harboring a disease that he compared to a “marauding, overwhelming army.” Sexton said his posthumous analysis of Adair’s case indicates that the fate of the Manhattan Beach, Calif., native was sealed by the time Adair was reporting rib pain, vomiting and running an intermittent fever. The family had alleged that a “punishment drill” imposed by coaches on Adair was connected to the condition that caused his death, but U.S. District Judge Gregory Frizzell found that no scientific evidence in support of that theory had been introduced. That finding narrowed the issues the jury could consider in its deliberations. Secrest said after the verdict was delivered that the “hearts of the people at TU go out to the Adair family.” He said the jury evidently understood “that medicine is not perfect.” Mark Warman, co-counsel

The clerk said the robbers came into the employee area, forced the clerk to open the cash drawer and removed money from the safe, police reported. The robbers fled on foot, and no vehicle was seen, police said. The crime matches several details of a robbery Tuesday in which two men forced an employee at a Fiesta Mart in the 6500 block of East 21st Street to hand over cash. The robbers in that holdup also wore hooded sweatshirts and had their faces covered, according to police reports. Anyone with information about either robbery is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 918-596COPS. — JARREL WADE, World staff writer

Public safety groups slate car-seat event, egg hunt Parents can get a free child’s car seat and a checkup Saturday at the Tulsa Police Department’s 11th annual event. The Tulsa Police Department, Tulsa Black Officers Coalition Inc. and Tulsa Safe Kids will host the event at Lacy Park Community Center, 2134 N. Madison Place, from 10 a.m. to noon, according to a release. The Tulsa Black Officers Coalition will then hold an annual Easter Egg Hunt at noon. The organizers have a limited number of free booster seats and car seats to give away, but qualified families must bring their car and children to be fitted into a seat. Previous events have shown that four out of five child safety seats are incorrectly installed, according to the release. Organizers encourage all families to bring their children for the car seat checkup and Easter egg hunt. Children will receive refreshments and prizes, as well as a visit from Crash Test Dummies Vince and Larry and the Easter Bunny. — JARREL WADE, World staff writer

on behalf of TU, said “Tulsa lost a son” when Adair died and that some of the coaches still keep mementos to remind them of him. Jury foreman Chris Cole said after the verdict that “it was a very difficult decision for us. Our sympathies to the family.” Lin Adair testified Wednesday that “not a day goes by that I don’t think about my son. Holidays aren’t the same. Birthdays aren’t the same. Nothing’s the same.” The jury was instructed that sympathy should play no role in its decision, and Secrest said during his closing argument that “if you are going to decide on sympathy, I might as well sit down.” David and Lin Adair had no comment after the trial was over. Luther and co-counsel Terry West said it was too early for them to say whether there would be an appeal. David Harper 918-581-8359 david.harper@tulsaworld.com

DONOR: The city is working to alter its exotic animal ordinance.

Visit us on line at

FROM A13

But the council is planning to amend the ordinance at its next meeting, May 3, to allow approval of keeping exotic animals if certain requirements are met. Carr also would have to have certifications that Irwin has a proper enclosure, habitat and vaccinations. She would have to comply with federal and state animal laws, have no animal-ordinance violations and pay a yearly $100 fee to the city. The requirements would be overseen by an exotic animal review board made up of veterinarians, wildlife sanctuary operators and exotic-animal experts. Beyond the insurance, Carr said the only requirement she might have difficulty with is caging Irwin when he is in a public place. “That’s animal cruelty to put him in a cage. Maybe we can come up with something different,” she said. Carr said she now sees that the City Council is trying to work with her by changing the ordinance. “Until we see what the complete outcome is, I really think they’re trying to help,” she said. “I have no hard feelings at all with the City Council.” Some of the criticism the city and Carr have received comes from Australia. Carr has taken heat for dressing Irwin in a suit and tie and housing him in her home instead of at a wildlife sanctuary with other kangaroos. Carr was volunteering at Safari’s Interactive Animal Sanctuary, where Irwin was severely injured when he ran

“We didn’t want to send seedlings out and say, ‘We met our goal,’ ” she said. ReGreen’s first planting was Feb. 23, 2008, with 23 new trees in the Owen Park neighborhood as part of the NeighborWoods program, Turner said. America said more than 20,000 trees have been planted by the community since the ice storm, with Up With Trees’ part of the project on hold until construction on Interstate 44 and the Inter Dispersal Loop finishes. The initial timeline for ReGreen Tulsa has passed and the necessary $3 million has been raised for the 20,000 trees, but America said she

EMAIL: Rudick says the email reflects his personal opinion. FROM A13

Ballard went on to say that he will be reviewing with Rudick “his reasons for sending the email and the specific statements contained” in it, but he said that review process will not be made public because it also involves a confidential internal employee matter. The school district simultaneously released a statement from Rudick in which he said his communication with the Tulsa Police Department about Dixon’s arrest “is similar to others I have had with them, with the District Attorney’s Office, Juvenile Court or other members of the criminal justice system and is designed to make sure the cases that are filed are followed through to successful prosecution or, if warranted, to advocate for adjustment, amendment or even dismissal.” He stated repeatedly that his communication with the Tulsa Police Department reflected his personal opinion and not that of anyone else in the school district. “No one should mistake that my comments or intentions were approved by Dr. Ballard or are a reflection of his future intentions, opinions or position. At no time did Dr. Ballard inform me that he wanted the principal fired. … The decision on the future employment of the principal involved in this issue is the sole discretion of Dr. Ballard and the Board of Education.” Rudick offered both an explanation for sending the email and an apology. “As a member of the law enforcement community and the criminal justice system, it

into a fence post when he was a joey. Carr said she took him home so he could have round-the-clock care to recover from his injuries, which included a broken neck and a brain injury that left him paralyzed and stunted his growth. Irwin is now able to make some small movements. Carr has said she had him neutered to prevent him from becoming aggressive and that he’s not expected to ever weigh more than 50 pounds. City officials have stressed that there’s no guarantee that the kangaroo couldn’t one day be dangerous. They noted that the red kangaroo species can reach

speeds of 35 mph with a 6-foot vertical jump and is known to lean back on its tail and box with its hind legs. Meanwhile, Irwin has become a national media celebrity, appearing on Good Morning America and Animal Planet, in USA Today and in English and Australian newspapers and radio. Television talk-show host Jay Leno even joked in his monologue that “IHOP” is Carr and Irwin’s favorite restaurant. Susan Hylton 918-581-8381 susan.hylton@tulsaworld.com

What is Earth Day? Earth Day was founded April 22, 1970, by Gaylord Nelson, then a U.S. Senator from Wisconsin, after he reportedly witnessed the effect of the 1969 oil spill in Santa Barbara, Calif. The day was to promote a healthy, sustainable environment through rallies across the country and bipartisan support politically. It is now an international holiday, after a April 22, 2009 United Nations declaration marking the day as “International Mother Earth Day.” Sources: United Nations, earthday.org

hopes that the program that inspired more than 700 private donors to contribute continues. “We have to keep regreening to keep Tulsa the way we love it,” she said. “We can’t rely on squirrels running around with pecans.

“Planting a tree is such an act of faith. You totally get that you’re doing this for someone else.” Turner said ReGreen showed how much people cared about having a great urban forest in Green Country.

“I think the community actually gained from this disaster,” she said. “They realized how important our trees were. … We learned a lot about the trees and the city.”

is also our obligation to assure that criminal cases receive the necessary attention so they are dealt with Dixon in a manner that reflects the morals and values of our school district and that administrative discipline, including termiBallard nation in some cases, can be effectively carried out,” he wrote. “To that end, if in my zeal to act in the best interests of TPS the communication has offended any person or group, that was not my intention and I apologize for any misunderstanding it may have caused.” O’Carroll said the city responded to his records request and provided him with Rudick’s email two hours before Dixon’s municipal trial was set to begin earlier this week. Based on the email, he filed a motion to dismiss the case on

the basis of “outrageous governmental conduct.” A judge set a hearing for 2 p.m. May 10 to hear evidence, Municipal Court Administrator Tony Cellino said, and the trial is now set for May 17. In response to Rudick’s statement Thursday, O’Carroll said: “It is a complete falsehood for this man to talk about integrity. It is shameful, and these people have no shame.” David Shapiro, the prosecutor in the case, declined to comment Thursday, citing the ongoing court case. Tulsa Police Capt. Jonathan Brooks said police could not comment on the content of Rudick’s email or the ongoing criminal case. However, he did say, “We have no control over the emails that come to the department or the con-

tent of the emails.” Warren Blakney Sr., president of the NAACP Tulsa Chapter, said Rudick’s email represents “an obstruction of justice.” “I have not called for his removal at this time because I think people can make mistakes from time to time, but that was such a tremendous effort to do harm to someone,” Blakney said. “This not only is very damaging to them (the school district); it could have been destructive to Ms. Dixon,” he said. “When that kind of collusion goes on through different departments, it’s very disturbing.”

Right thing

Prison reform clears Senate hurdle Two more steps and it’s a done deal — Oklahoma finally will have a prison reform measure on the books that will benefit taxpayers, the beleaguered Department of Corrections, whose prisons are at 99 percent capacity, and some nonviolent inmates. In a 44-3 vote, the Senate on Wednesday approved House Bill 2131, championed by House Speaker Kris Steele, R-Shawnee. The measure now moves to the full House. If it passes there it goes to Gov. Mary Fallin who has previously supported reform. In the past, Steele has argued for passage of the reasonable measure, saying, “Our communities are safer when dangerous criminals are locked behind bars. However, Oklahoma simply cannot afford to continue down the path we’re on when it comes to dealing with low-risk nonviolent offenders.” The bill would allow some offenders to serve sentences in community programs and would increase the eligibility for electronic monitoring. About 500 offenders are on electronic monitoring now, and, under the bill, 720 more could be added. Monitoring costs a fraction of the cost of incarceration. “If we can increase the use of community-based services for nonviolent offenders and place a greater focus on treatment and prevention, the crime rates in our state could be reduced,” Steele

If it is not passed and signed into law, the state might never get out from under staggering and escalating prison costs. said. One thing should be done when the bill returns to the House: Steele should restore language that allows some inmates convicted of two or more crimes in the same proceeding to serve sentences at the same time unless a judge orders otherwise. Although a District Attorneys Council spokesman claims the DAC didn’t oppose the bill, some prosecutors apparently did manage to get that provision axed. It needs to be put back in to reduce massive overcrowding. Public safety is important, but so are educating kids and taking care of the health and welfare of Oklahomans. It’s difficult to accomplish the latter two goals when prison costs are eating up an ever-greater percentage of revenues. House Bill 2131 lays the foundation for addressing a rising prison population. Some political risk is involved for its supporters, but if it is not passed and signed into law, the state might never get out from under staggering and escalating prison costs.

Alcohol blast Targeting young drinkers? Oklahoma’s Scott Pruitt has joined with 17 fellow state attorneys general in an effort to reduce the alcohol content of a new fruitflavored drink that contains nearly five times more alcohol than a typical drink. The attorneys general wrote to Pabst Brewing Co., asking the firm to reduce the alcohol content of Blast by Colt 45, which arrived on store shelves this month. The product contains 12 percent alcohol. “This alcohol product is packaged in colorful cans and labeled with fruit juice flavors in a clear attempt to entice younger consumers,” Pruitt said in an email. The attorney general said that consuming just one can of the drink in an hour provides enough alcohol to fall under the definition of binge drinking, a major problem among college students and other young people. Binge drinking can end in motor vehicle crashes, sexual assault and acute alcohol poisoning. About 90 percent of

The new drink contains in excess of 3.2 percent alcohol by volume. alcohol consumed by Americans under age 21 is consumed during binge drinking episodes. Pruitt said there is a mistaken belief among many college students and other young people that they can drink more of these types of carbonated, fruit-flavored drinks and remain sober longer. Because the new drink contains in excess of 3.2 percent alcohol by volume, its sale would be limited to liquor stores and properly licensed restaurants. That might make it slightly more difficult for underage drinkers to obtain, but not much. We agree with Pruitt’s concerns and hope that the manufacturer will heed the request from state attorneys general to lower the drink’s alcohol content.

LETTERS Sensationalist Your April 11 front-page story regarding coaches’ pay at the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University is another example of sensationalist reporting by the Tulsa World. Not until the ninth paragraph do you mention that these payments do not come from taxes. But earlier in the story you give that very impression when you state that your source is “State Finance payroll data.” As a result you have planted the idea in the uninformed that we taxpayers are footing the bill for what seem to be exorbitant salaries. I can only imagine what your motives are. They certainly are not reporting the news, since you leave out the fact that a small portion of their salaries actually do come from the taxpayers. In my mind, the most interesting, newsworthy and analytical conclusion you could have made (but did not) was the high return for our dollars that we taxpayers are getting for the small amount of their salaries that we do contribute, which is probably about a buck a year per capita. For this small amount, OSU and OU are getting huge amounts of free PR and advertising exposure, which helps both schools academically as well as athletically. Maybe you could do a story that compares the coaches’ salaries to the estimated cost of PR and advertising that the schools get for free as a result. That would be newsworthy. Ken Maricle, Tulsa

Evil There is in the world today a master illusionist. He has flown under the world’s radar for so long that the world in general does not recognize his lies. Many others deny he even exists. Yet he takes a snippet of truth and distorts it so cunningly that many accept his lies without question. Even those who understand he exists are often beguiled by his seductive promises. He has honed his pitch to near perfection, presenting evil as good. In the Garden of Eden he sowed doubt, “Did God really say ......” mixed with a dash of pride and greed, “you will be

like God knowing good and evil.” Eve and Adam fell for his lies and in so doing brought the curse of sin and death to the entire human race. And since that time the lie has grown that we humans should “live” as we wish, especially when to “live” seeks to amplify the baser appetites. The deeper people go into depravity the more demanding they become that society must not only accept, but rather embrace their “right” to “live” however they choose .... even by force of legislation. And the force behind these lies? None other than the devil himself. When society attempts to accommodate any perversion the Bible calls abhorrent, society becomes an accomplice with equal guilt in these perversions. In a letter to James Warren on Feb. 12, 1779, Samuel Adams wrote: “A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy. While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but when once they lose their virtue then will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader.” Can there be any doubt that we are no longer a virtuous nation? Remember; “live” spelled backwards is “evil.” J. C. Leonard, Tulsa

of trying to whip the crowd into a frenzy, he needs to find the necessary funds in the city budget to properly operate and maintain city facilities. District 1 voters need to pay attention at election time who they choose for office and whether they know how governments actually are funded and what is their jurisdiction. Louie D. Moore, Tulsa

Especially gleeful While I always appreciate the arts coverage in the Tulsa World, I was especially “Gleeful” about the March 12 editorial, (“TV show sparks choral interest.”) Music supports a student’s growth on so many levels — mathematical, spatial, linguistic, kinesthetic, visual, aural, natural, spiritual — thus this renewed interest in the schools’ fine arts is heartening. Bravissimo for reporting it! Caroline Johnson, Tulsa

Attack on charities When charities are destroyed, we are wholly dependent upon central planners for services now provided by the charitable community. This Lenin understood, as did Mao. Both outlawed charitable institutions to better control the population. In the name of secularism, the churches fall first, then the charities tied to them crumble. Eliminating the charitable deduction, as Bill Sherman reported (“Tax-break changes concern churches,” April 9), is the first step. A fair and flat tax system would neutralize the issue, but that is another can of worms. The charitable deduction provides funding for these important causes. Let’s not sleep through this attack on charities. Mike Morgan, Broken Arrow

There was a very good turnout recently at Gilcrease Middle School auditorium about the possible closure of various schools in Tulsa in the near future. There has been a lot of time devoted to Project Schoolhouse on this matter. That was all great. There was a very unusual rant from City Councilor Jack Henderson that was totally inappropriate. Henderson took the microphone and started talking to school officials about the closing of northside parks, pools and schools. Letters to the editor are encouraged.

An American debt drama in five acts BY CAROLINE BAUM NEW YORK — Rarely has a credit rating company made such an astute observation of the human condition. “We believe there is a material risk that U.S. policy makers might not reach an agreement on how to address medium- and long-term budgetary challenges by 2013,” Standard & Poor’s said on assigning a negative outlook to the U.S. AAAcredit rating Monday. Any observer of the budget debate in Washington would have to believe there’s a material risk, too. The U.S. Treasury, aware that any rise in interest rates from increased credit risk would further damage its fiscal position, was quick to counter S&P’s shot across the bow. The negative outlook “underestimates the ability of America’s leaders to come together” to solve the debt problem, Assistant Secretary for Financial Markets Mary Miller said. Come together? Miller must be watching a different theatrical pro-

duction than I am. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner was shuttled off to TV business channels Tuesday to tell us that, unlike S&P, his outlook on the U.S. fiscal situation isn’t negative. Take a look at the first four acts of this drama, and you decide who’s right. Act I: Dec. 1, 2010. Moment of Truth. President Barack Obama’s National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform releases its report. The commission’s plan relies on tax simplification and spending cuts to increase revenue. It aims to save $4 trillion over 10 years, reducing projected budget deficits to 2.3 percent of gross domestic product by 2015 from an estimated 10.9 percent this year. It includes a rise in the Social Security retirement age, lower federal entitlement benefits, a three-year freeze on federal workers’ pay and the elimination of “tax expenditures,” or the estimated $1.1 trillion of revenue lost each year to tax exemptions and loopholes. Small-government conservatives

are unhappy that outlays as a share of GDP would increase to 21 percent. Most everyone else sees the commission’s report as a fine start. Act II: Feb. 14, 2011. La-La Land. Obama ignores the recommendations of the commission and submits his $3.7 trillion budget request for fiscal 2012 to Congress. The blueprint is long on generalities and short on specifics. It purports to return annual deficits to a “sustainable” level by mid-decade but fails to address entitlement spending on programs such as Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Act III: April 5, 2011. “Path to Prosperity.” House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, Republican of Wisconsin, offers his plan to cut spending and simplify the tax code, lowering the rates and broadening the base. Ryan is applauded for his bold vision and reviled (by Democrats) for his bold vision. Act IV: April 13, 2011. Get Serious. Obama tells an audience at George Washington University the country has to live within its means

If the warning of higher borrowing costs creates some urgency to address these problems now, then it was a good thing.

passe after listening to Obama’s partisan speech last week, telling reporters to “Pray for the Gang of Six.” The Senate’s bipartisan “Gang of Six” has yet to complete or release its deficit-reduction proposal. The fact that the three Democrats and three Republicans can be in the same room together offers the best hope for some kind of compromise. Obama has yet to invite Ryan to the White House even though the congressman has been teeing up budget ideas for a couple of years. Some analysts viewed S&P’s surprise shift to a negative outlook for the U.S.’s long-term credit rating as a timely kick in the pants. If the warning of higher borrowing costs creates some urgency to address these problems now, then it was a good thing. Of course, there’s bad news too. As with earlier downgrades to companies about to go under, S&P may already be late.

and pay down its debt. Any serious plan to tackle the deficit has to address entitlements, he says. (See Act II for his unserious plan.) The president spends more time explaining how we got here (Bush’s fault) and trashing the Ryan budget than advocating for his own. Act V: Sometime in the future. “Pray for the Gang of Six.” In the final act of a Shakespearean tragedy, the conflict is resolved. In real life, the two political parties are on opposite sides of the stage separated by what President George H.W. Bush called the “vision thing.” Former Senator Alan Simpson, co-chair of the president’s deficit commission, summed up the im- Caroline Baum is a Bloomberg News columnist.

Everyone shares Earth Day responsibilities BY ROB PHILLIPS

RIGHT MOVE

Sometimes, doing the right thing — even when it’s a very simple act to which we don’t give a second thought — can have a lasting, positive impact on the lives of millions of people. Earth Day, which we celebrate on Friday, is all about doing the right thing. Each of us is presented every single day with choices that can have such an impact — the choices that can make a profound difference to all of humankind. These are choices about preserving and protecting the environment. Clearly, protecting the environment has never been more important than it is in this day and age. Please, remember this. Earth Day reminds us of some simple acts each of us can perform to preserve our planet. These choices will range widely but most will fall within the capacity of any one of us to execute at no cost. Many of the simple things we can do to help our environment are acts that also will help save us money, such as washing our clothes in cold water, using compact fluorescent light bulbs, taking a reusable bag when we shop and turning off lights

in rooms not in use. These Earth-saving solutions just scratch the surface of the myriad of great ideas we can implement — acts that are easy to do yet help conquer some of the toughest environmental challenges. It’s like the analogy of a baby learning to walk. A few short, wobbling steps eventually lead to a confident sprint. It’s been quite a year since Earth Day 2010. Mother Earth has really shown us who’s boss by unleashing numerous memorable climatic episodes — earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, droughts, torrential rains, mud slides, monsoons, scorching heat, devastating ice storms and snowstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes and volcanic eruptions. A number of these were weather milestones. Many scientists tell us that the intensity was heightened in some of

these latest climatic events because of global climate change. And there is considerable scientific evidence to support this belief. A recent article on “Yahoo! Green” says that during the last 50 years, the average global temperature has increased at the fastest rate in recorded history, and experts think this trend is accelerating.

What is truly disturbing is the article goes on to report that we U.S. residents are the largest source of global warming pollution. Our nation now emits more carbon dioxide than China, India and Japan combined. We make up only 4 percent of the world’s population, but we produce one-fourth of the carbon dioxide pollution from the burning

of fossil fuel. Corporate America also plays a role in protecting and preserving our environment. We’re beginning to see an increase in cleaner cars that utilize alternative energy sources and in more modern electricity generators. Professional service firms can establish recycling stations for supplies such as office paper, batteries and printer cartridges. Restaurants, hotels and others in the hospitality industry can reduce the amount of garbage they send to landfills by utilizing stateof-the-art biocomposters that turn organic waste into nutrient-rich grey water. Businesses across all sectors and individual consumers are encouraged to create and use products with biodegradable packaging in order to reduce the amount of plastics packing our landfills. As we celebrate Earth Day this year, please join me in taking steps to protect our environment. We all will be doing the right thing.

Trump: Is he ‘The One,’ or just a GOP mascot? LOS ANGELES — The lead of the week out here was written by Tom Barnidge of the Contra Costa Times: “There is something terribly wrong with my television set. Every time I turn it on, Donald Trump appears on the screen.” The headline of the week appeared in a slightly larger newspaper, The New York Times: “Gross? Maybe. But It Got Me on TV, Right?” Actually, the Times (New York) headline was not about Trump. It was about gigolos in “Gigolos,” a reality series on Showtime about men who hire out their bodies (or parts of them) Trump to ladies of wealth in Las Vegas. What happens in Las Vegas no longer stays in Las Vegas. It is sent out over the airwaves, then commented upon by the television critic Alessandra Stanley. Noticing that, Trump realized that he is the Chosen One. He is the One who should be the president of the United States. Maybe he’s right. The American Dream seems to have evolved into getting on the tube and making a fool of yourself. Despite his new friends in the Republican Party, Trump’s DNA is Democratic. The man, after all, is from Brooklyn, where his father collected money from the

Richard Reeves Universal Press Syndicate

state of New York to build housing for middle-class families. At the time, Republicans did not believe that middle-class Brooklyn people deserved housing. Now they don’t believe they deserve medical care either. It was only four years ago that Trump attracted the cameras by declaring that Republican George W. Bush was the worst president in American history. Now it seems he has changed his mind and said that Barack Obama, wherever he was born, perhaps in a manger in

Kenya, is: “A man that almost certainly will go down as the worst president in the history of the U.S.” That’s what he told tea party activists recently in Boca Raton, Fla. You have to give him credit for being willing to go to a place like Boca. By his standards, that is something like Robert F. Kennedy traveling on the back roads of Mississippi all those years ago. There is something likable about Trump, at least I have always thought so. Here we are in his office in the Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue a few years ago. I am interviewing him about wealth in America and its uses. This is a man who said, “Part of the beauty of me is I’m very rich.” Just then a secretary walks in with a small stack of Xerox pages of New York newspapers. They are all mocking him at the moment because

of a divorce or something. I figure he is going to get angry and our interview is going south, farther south than Boca. But no. He reads them to me, laughing all the way. Then he says he has something to show me. He walks over to a small table by his desk and comes back with a sneaker that could house an old lady who lived in a shoe. It is the size of a small car. “Shaq gave this to me himself,” he says. Shaquille O’Neal, that is. “Wow!” I say. More power to him. What his National Tour 2011 means is that the Republican Party is a national laughingstock. That doesn’t mean that the GOP will lose in the 2012 elections. Who knows? Trump-Palin. Trump-Bachmann. Palin-Bachmann. Bachmann-Trump. Pee-Wee Herman? It would only mean

that the country is swirling down the drain. It is not so much that the Republicans are irrational. It is that they are delusional. The United States has serious problems. When I turn on the television and Trump is not there, I see Republican officials arguing that the country is going broke and the way to fix that is to stop paying taxes. I am no great econo-

OSU’S JUSTIN BLACKMON

This season’s top priority: health

Life has changed ‘180 degrees’

BY JOHN E. HOOVER World Sports Writer

NORMAN — How can a wide receiver improve after catching 131 passes, gaining 1,622 yards and scoring 14 touchdowns? “I want to do something that I’ve never done before,” said Oklahoma senior Ryan Broyles. “I want to stay healthy.” Broyles has broken virtually every receiving record at OU, and he’s often been spectacular while doing it. And yet, he’s spent a good part of his time as a Sooner either injured, hobbled, limited or just plain sore. “He’s had several, several games at the mid-points of seasons where he hasn’t been 100 percent,” said OU receivers coach and co-offensive coordinator Jay Norvell, “but he’s been very productive.” His sophomore year, for example, Broyles had a broken shoulder blade, but missed only one game. His junior year, he practiced only twice a

week because he had two badly sprained ankles, but he never sat out a game. Going into his senior year, Broyles has learned to value his body. He has sworn off fast food and doesn’t miss it. He stretches on his own for 15 minutes every night before bed. He drinks lots of water. And he goes to bed at an early hour while his younger teammates explore adulthood with midnight movies and all-night video games. “You’ve only got one body,” Broyles said. “That’s what I’m learning.” He also takes seriously the idea of immediate medical treatment. Really, who wants to strap a pack of ice to any part of their body? That’s all too easy to put off or skip altogether. But for Broyles, it’s part of the daily routine. “After every practice, I get in the cold tub. Used to, I would SEE OU B6

STILLWATER — A year ago, Justin Blackmon was wellknown only in his hometown of Ardmore. As an Oklahoma State redshirt freshman in 2009, he totaled 20 catches. Now, after a tremendously successful 2010 season, he is among the more celebrated wide receivers in college football. He returns for his junior season as a unanimous AllAmerican and the Biletnikoff Award recipient. Asked to compare his life of April 2011 to his life of April 2010, Blackmon replied, “It has changed a complete 180 degrees. People actually know me when I go out. It’s a little strange. There are pros and cons about it, but I wouldn’t change it. It’s a lot of fun.” Within a few weeks, when newsstands are stocked with national preseason magazines,

Blackmon will be defined as a Heisman Trophy candidate. “I’m very happy about it, but I won’t be keeping up with it and checking on it every week,” said Blackmon, who last season set single-season school records for receptions (111), receiving yards (1,782) and touchdown catches (20). “Last year, everybody said we would finish last in the (Big 12 South).

Keserich may help Oilers net playoffs BY KELLY HINES

World Sports Writer

After Ian Keserich turned away 44 shots Tuesday, his coach said the Tulsa Oilers goaltender was the best player on the ice that night. But Keserich is first to say the 3-2 victory and resulting 2-1 series lead over Bossier-Shreveport was a team effort. “My save percentage is a direct reflection of how well the plays,” he CHL playoffs team said after pracGame 4: tice Thursday. Vs. Bossier“It’s all about the Shreveport blocked shots. They (team7:35 p.m. Friday mates) let me see BOK Center the easy shots, and that’s what it came down to.” Because of that game, the Oilers have a chance to clinch the best-offive series at 7:35 p.m. Friday at the BOK Center. A win would put Tulsa in the Berry Conference finals, and a loss would send the series back to Bossier-Shreveport for the decisive fifth game. Keserich is in his first year with Tulsa after seasons with Central SEE OILERS B3

E. Carolina mauls Southern Miss 4-1 BY JOHN D. FERGUSON World Correspondent

East Carolina University did not let a bit of damp weather slow its march into the main draw of the Conference USA men’s tennis tournament Thursday. The Pirates outlasted Southern Mississippi 4-1 in a Case Tennis Center indoor match. East Carolina’s reward for winning? The Pirates will play No. 1 seeded Tulsa at 11 a.m. Friday. East Carolina and Southern Miss got to warm-up on the outdoor Case Center courts, but moved indoors when rain threatened. The change of venue did not bother the Pirates. “That probably helped us,” said Pirates’ coach Shawn Heinchon. “We play inside six or seven times a year. It gave us confidence.” The victory pushed ECU’s dual record to 13-10. The loss eliminated the Eagles at 3-19. These two teams had played each other April 2 and the Pirates won 4-3. Friday’s tournament action begins at 8 a.m. with Central Florida meeting Memphis. Tulsa plays ECU at 11 a.m., Southern Methodist goes against AlabamaBirmingham at 2 p.m. Rice and Tulane close out the single-elimination event at 5 p.m. Admission is free and open to the public. Even though the Pirates did not play Tulsa this season, Heinchon knows all about the Hurricane. “They’re great … a very good team,” he said. “(Playing them) is awesome. We have nothing to lose.” TU is the highest ranked team in the nine-team bracket at No. 36 while Rice (No. 42) and SMU (No. 74) follow. The Hurricane has three ranked singles players this season and a ranked doubles team to throw at foes. Marcelo Arevalo leads TU at No. 30, Japie De Klerk is No. 69 and Ashley Watling is No. 77. Watling and Cliff Marsland are ranked 26th in doubles. SMU and Rice have the other ranked collegiate players in the field. SMU’s Artem Baradach is No. 48 in singles and Rice’s Harry Fowler comes in at No. 108. The Rice doubles team of Peter Frank and Sam Garforth are No. 70.

OILERS: Keserich bounced back after a 7-3 defeat in Game 1. FROM B1

Hockey League teams Colorado, Mississippi and Wichita. But this is his first playoff experience, and Game 1 of the first round didn’t go well — a 7-3 defeat to Mississippi. “To come in (Tuesday) and play the way he played, a big bounce back from his first game of the playoffs, was huge,” Tulsa coach Bruce Ramsay said. “But we know what he’s capable of. “He did it pretty well the whole regular season, and he just needed that confidence. And now he’s got his confidence, so I expect big things from Ian (Friday) night.” Being a goalie is high pressure anyway, but even more so in the playoffs. That’s why focus has been the key for Keserich. “You’ve just got to keep your mind from wandering,” he said. “That’s all I really concentrate on doing, is focusing on the task

C-USA MEN’S TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIP Tournament format: Single elimination matches consisting of six singles and three doubles. Singles matches are two out of three sets.

DeCosta returns as OU women’s assistant NORMAN — Former San Jose State head coach Pam DeCosta has been hired as an assistant coach at Oklahoma. DeCosta, whose hiring was announced Thursday, was previously an assistant for the Sooners during Sherri Coale’s first two seasons as head coach. Coale says DeCosta played an “instrumental role” in building the foundation of a program that has been to the Final Four three times. DeCosta resigned last month as San Jose State’s head coach after going 13-106 in four seasons in charge of the Spartans. — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

one coming back . . . who has the same marketability.” Benefiting most directly from Blackmon’s emergence as an elite playmaker, Cowboy quarterback Brandon Weeden passed for more than 4,000 yards last season and was OSU’s first all-conference QB since 1932. Weeden says the 6-foot-1, 210-pound Blackmon was “the most consistent player in the country.” And when Blackmon decided to stay at OSU instead of entering next week’s NFL draft, Weeden said it was a huge factor in his own decision to play one more season in Stillwater. “Once I knew for certain he was coming back,” Weeden says, “it was kind of a no-brainer for me.” Dana Holgorsen, OSU’s offensive coordinator in 2010, said this in November: “With the Heisman deal, you are talking about the best player in the country. That is an award that is obviously pretty prestigious. All I can say is this — every time that (Blackmon) is on the field, he is the best player.” Blackmon had one infamous misstep during the 2010 season. At 3:45 a.m. on Oct. 26, a few hours after having attended a Dallas Cowboys Monday night game, he was arrested by Carrollton, Texas, police on a DUI complaint. As Blackmon drove a Chevy Silverado

pickup north on I-35, police radar registered his speed at 92 mph in a 60 mph zone. Gundy responded with a one-game suspension, and Blackmon was stuck in Stillwater as the Cowboys won 24-14 at Kansas State. Instead of hiding from media members, Blackmon agreed to speak with reporters only one day after his arrest. “I made a mistake and I take full responsibility for it,” he said. “I’m embarrassed to be in this position. I’m truly sorry to my family, to my friends and to Oklahoma State altogether. “I look forward to redeeming myself and proving to everybody that this isn’t who I am. I’m not this guy. I’m humbled by this experience and I will grow from it.” Gundy and others within the program insist that Blackmon’s contrition was genuine. Gundy says Blackmon was a model citizen before his Texas problem, and has been a model citizen since. Before his junior season, former Cowboy All-American wide receiver Dez Bryant became tangled in situations that ultimately resulted in his suspension from college football. Holgorsen predicts that Blackmon will handle

his own stardom in a mature manner. “All the attention won’t faze him a bit,” Holgorsen, now the head coach-designate and offensive coordinator at West Virginia, said this week. “Justin doesn’t have the same personality as (former OSU running back) Kendall Hunter, but he has the same mentality as Kendall Hunter. “Justin’s focus won’t waver. He’ll work hard every day and he’ll want to be the best player on the field. He’s incredibly driven and motivated.” While it has been reported

that Bryant has spent staggering sums of money on jewelry, Blackmon usually is clad in a T-shirt and shorts. Bryant has gold around his neck. Blackmon has braces on his teeth. Instead of crashing parties and flaunting his Heisman candidacy, Blackmon says he may not even take a vacation this summer. If he does score some free time, “I’ll probably relax, watch TV and sleep in,” he said. “Funds for a cool trip are a little low, so I’ll probably just sit at home and relax.”

MLB NOTEBOOK Brewers’ Braun signs $105M, 5-year extension: The more Ryan

Braun traveled to various cities during his time in the majors, the more he recognized just how much he loved Milwaukee. Braun signed a $105 million, five-year contract extension on Thursday that adds to a seven-year deal he signed in May 2008, meaning the Brewers are now committed to pay the young slugger $145.5 million through 2020. “From here on out the only thing that really matters is winning,” Braun said. “I’m proud of saying that I’ve been a part of a group of guys here who have come in here and tried to kind of change the culture and get back to having the perception of being a winning organization, when guys like Robin Yount played here, Gorman Thomas, Paul Molitor, Jim Gantner, when all those guys were here, it was a special place to play.”

Tulsa Drillers right-hander Rob Scahill was recruited by Bradley as a shortstop out of high school before being shifted to the mound. Scahill was a standout as a pitcher and hitter in a 14-4 victory over the Springfield Cardinals on Thursday night at ONEOK Field. He limited the Cardinals to two runs on six hits over 6⅔ innings and also produced a key two-run single. This year is the first chance for Scahill to hit since he batted .480 as a senior in 2005 at Willowbrook High School, located near Chicago. In his first ONEOK Field start on April 10, Scahill became the first Tulsa pitcher to hit a triple since 1968. “I’ve always enjoyed hitting,” said Scahill, a lefthanded batter. “I can swing it a little bit.” Scahill had a key hit in Thursday’s game as he came up with the bases loaded and one out in the fifth inning. He grounded a sharp single into right field and a third run scored on the play due to Springfield catcher Nick Derba’s throwing error as Tulsa (7-7) increased its lead to 5-0. Tim Wheeler followed with an RBI triple and scored on a wild pitch for a 7-0 advantage, “I figured he (Springfield pitcher Deryk Hooker) was thinking, ‘Oh, another pitcher who can’t really hit,’ ” Scahill said. “I was able to get my hands inside of a fastball.”

At the time, not only did Scahill have a seven-run lead, but also had a no-hitter going. That bid ended in the sixth as Springfield (6-8) produced a run with three consecutive one-out singles. Three more singles in the seventh led to another Cardinals run as Scahill exited with two outs, having reached his 90-pitch limit. He walked two and struck out eight. “What a really, really good job,” Drillers manager Duane Espy said of Scahill. “He used both sides of the plate, never lost any of his stuff and never lost command.” Scahill’s results were much better than in his last previous start when he walked five and allowed four earned runs

in an 8-1 loss at Corpus Christi last Saturday. “In that game, I was way off line going to home plate,” Scahill said. “I was flying open, so in my last bullpen I worked on shortening my leg kick and going straight to home plate. I felt way better today than I had in a while.” Scahill (1-1), who went 10-7 at Single-A Modesto last year, didn’t mind pitching in a mist throughout the 57-degree night. “I’m from Illinois so I’m used to it,” said Scahill, an eighth-round draft choice by the Colorado Rockies in 2009. The No. 9 slot in the Drillers’ batting order contributed four RBIs. In addition to Scahill’s hit, pinch-hitter Mike

Daniel had a RBI single in the seventh and reliever Dustin Molleken drove in a run with a ground-out in the eighth. Tulsa, wearing special green jerseys to promote recycling, surpassed its previous season-high of 10 runs. The Drillers scored five in the seventh with Wheeler delivering a two-run single and Ben Paulsen lining a two-run double that made it 12-2. Tulsa opened the scoring with two runs in the second inning. Wilin Rosario led off with a homer. Bronson Sardinha followed with a double and scored on Scott Beerer’s single.

Accused tree poisoner: ‘It’s one of my biggest mistakes I’ve made’ BY ANDY BITTER

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

AUBURN, Ala. — Harvey Updyke, the avowed Alabama fan accused of poisoning Auburn’s iconic Toomer’s oak trees, broke his silence on the Paul Finebaum radio show Thursday, a day after he claimed he was attacked outside an Opelika gas station following his first scheduled appearance in court. Updyke, who spoke for close to an hour in a rambling interview, briefly choked up while apologizing to his children and the University of Alabama, denying any guilt but admitting he called into the radio show as “Al from Dadeville” in January to brag about the poisonings, calling it a “prank.” “It’s one of the biggest mistakes I’ve made,” he said. “My wives said I am a crowdstirrer. I was just trying to upset the Auburn nation. ... Do I want the trees to die?

No. I would give anything in the world for this to not have happened. But I guess it’s too late now.” Updyke, 62, faces a criminal mischief charge in connection with the poisoning of Auburn’s Toomer’s Corner oak trees, which experts have given a low chance of survival after large quantities of the herbicide Spike 80DF was found in the soil in February. He waived his preliminary hearing in Lee County District Court on Wednesday, sending the case to a grand jury for possible indictment, with additional federal charges a possibility, his lawyer Glennon Threatt said. “I really think they’re going to put me in prison,” Updyke said. Updyke reiterated his claim that following the court appearance he was struck in the

Why a Kentucky QB’s choice is good news for two area QBs Two area quarterbacks got some good news Wednesday out of Edgewood, Ky. That’s where star junior quarterback Zeke Pike, announced his verbal commitment to Auburn. Pike chose the defending national champions over Arkansas, LSU and just about every other school in the country. Here’s why that matters in Tulsa. Pike really liked Arkansas, and the Hogs were high on him. Pike went to a junior day camp in Fayetteville, and Arkansas was reportedly one of his top choices. But he chose the Tigers. And that means Arkansas still needs a quarterback. I don’t know who Garrick

Because it’s such an important position, most colleges recruit quarterbacks nationally instead of regionally (as opposed to, say, linebackers). But Arkansas has shown interest in a pair of area passers. The Hogs have looked at Beggs quarterback Ramsey Hamilton and Owasso quarterback Kason Key, who’s made at least one recent trip to Fayette-

ville. I think both are legitimate prospects, although Key would seem to fit Arkansas’ offense better. With Pike out of the picture, maybe one of them will land an offer from the Hogs. Pike’s decision to commit to Auburn might not last. There’s a reason we always note in stories that verbal commitments are non-binding. And Arkansas is probably looking at dozens of other quarterbacks. But the decision by one quarterback in Kentucky just gave more hope to a pair of passers in Tulsa. — MATT BAKER Let us know what you think at tulsaworld.com/sportsextra

The ones to watch Oklahoma State’s Justin Blackmon and Oklahoma’s Ryan Broyles are among the best returning wide receivers in college football. Some of the names to know in 2011 (listed alphabetically): — BY BILL HAISTEN, World Sports Writer

Up close | Hart Lee Dykes BY MATT BAKER

World Sports Writer

Receiver Hart Lee Dykes was a first-round draft choice in 1989 after a standout career at Oklahoma State. He played only 26 games with the New England Patriots before injuries ended his career. In advance of his upcoming trip to Tulsa for the Tulsa Sports Charities’ Legends in Sports Dinner, he participated in a Q&A with the World:

Justin Blackmon, OSU:

Ryan Broyles, OU:

Greg Childs, Arkansas:

Juron Criner, Arizona:

A junior who in 2010 was a unanimous All-American and the Biletnikoff Award recipient. Set single-season school records for receptions, receiving yards and TD catches.

In 2010, a consensus All-American and a Biletnikoff finalist. As a junior last season, Broyles set nine school records while totaling 131 catches for 1,622 yards.

As a junior last year, the 6-3, 217-pound Childs’ season was cut short by a knee injury. In eight games, he totaled 46 receptions for 659 yards.

A 6-4, 215-pound senior, Criner had 82 catches last season and was an All-Pac-10 selection. During the Wildcats’ Alamo Bowl loss to Oklahoma State, he had nine receptions for 47 yards. In September, Arizona visits OSU.

Michael Floyd, Notre Dame:

Jeff Fuller, Texas A&M:

Floyd holds the school record for touchdown catches (28), ranks second in career catches (171) and third in receiving yards (2,539). However, because he was suspended last month after having been cited for drunken driving, Floyd currently is suspended from the team.

A veteran of 28 starts, the Aggie senior had 72 catches for 1,066 yards last season. He scored 12 touchdowns for an A&M team that beat Oklahoma, Nebraska and Texas.

Alshon Jeffery, South Carolina:

Robert Woods, Southern Cal:

In 2010, Jeffery was an AllAmerican and a Biletnikoff finalist. At 6-4 and 233 pounds, he set single-season school records with 88 catches and 1,517 receiving yards.

In 2010, Woods was the Pac-10’s offensive freshman of year for having totaled 65 receptions for 792 yards. Also a kickoff-return specialist, he had 1,817 all-purpose yards.

slack off on that,” he said. “Any tweak of my body, I jump on it right then. I feel like my brain is more in tune with my body. Once I feel something, I know to react then. My body’s telling me something’s not right, so I need to get to it. Three years ago, if something wasn’t right, I wouldn’t.” Broyles also has added 9-10 pounds of muscle. His freshman year, the 5-foot-11 Bro-

cept me for who I am and give me the recognition I deserve, because everyone else thinks I’m one of the best receivers to come through there.” The numbers back him up. He left the Cowboys as the Big Eight’s all-time leader in catches and receiving yards. He ranks second in OSU history in career receptions (203) and receiving yards (3,171), behind Woods. But Dykes is perhaps more

yles checked in at 162 pounds. Last year, he played at 183. At the conclusion of spring practice this week, Broyles weighed 192. He checks the scale daily and eats before every workout to minimize calorie loss. Weightlifting and lean protein have made him bigger and stronger than ever. But then, strength was never Broyles’ game. He achieved stardom with speed and quickness. Does having another 10 pounds affect that? “I’m getting used to my weight right now,” he said. “I have another four months until the season. . . . Once you put on the weight or the muscle, your body has to get used to it. “I’m not gonna lie. I get a

little more tired out there. But we’re not conditioning for a game right now. “I’m hoping to play at about 190, 188. I can be swift at that for sure.” Broyles already was considered a smart and savvy player, knowing how to beat defenses, how to find weaknesses in opposing coverages, where to adjust so his quarterback can find him. He has progressed in that area this offseason, too, improving his aerial rapport with quarterback Landry Jones. “It’s a mental game. I feel like we left a lot of plays out there on the field last year. I feel like we can do a lot more things this year,” Broyles said. So far, Broyles’ offseason

has gone perfect: more muscle, no injuries, good eating and sleeping habits. It’s precisely what he intended when he declined an opportunity in January to leave early for the NFL, when he got a secondround draft projection. “Mentally, I feel like I’m a step ahead of where I was last year,” he said. “I feel a little bit more mature.” That’s exactly the word Norvell wanted to hear. “I’m very proud of him,” Norvell said. “When you see the maturity — some of these kids come here and they just don’t have a clue. We’ve got some now that are trying to figure it out as young freshman. And Ryan was very much the same his first year, you know? I came at the tail

end of his first year, and he was still trying to figure out who he was and how he fit in here and what he wanted to do in his goals. “But now, as a fifth-year senior, he’s very focused, he knows exactly what he wants, he knows what he wants to do physically. . . . He came back this year for a reason. He came back this year to get stronger and to be a complete player and to show everybody that he can play (strong) . . . and you can see it on the field. He’s very strong. “He’s a different guy than he was 3-4 years ago, and I think that maturity will show.”

famous for what happened before he came to Stillwater from Bay City, Texas. Dykes was the focus of what the NCAA called a “bidding war” between OSU, Oklahoma, Texas A&M and Illinois. A Cowboys assistant gave Dykes $5,000 for signing with OSU, and Dykes received cash payments and a sports car from the school during his record-breaking career, according to the NCAA’s report. Dykes cooperated with an NCAA investigation that punished all four schools and led to OSU’s three-year postseason ban. He said he thinks that scandal is the reason he hasn’t been honored by the Cowboys as teammates Barry Sanders, Thurman Thomas and Mike Gundy have been.

“It’s like it overshadows my performance on the field,” Dykes told the Tulsa World in a phone interview. “I don’t think that’s right. I think I should be judged as a football player, a student-athlete. My performance on the field spoke for itself.” Dykes said he shouldn’t have accepted the benefits, but he thinks most players would have done the same. “Hey, man, I was a kid,” said Dykes, now a 44-yearold retired player living in Sugar Land, Texas. “Any 18-year-old kid, you offer him money, you offer him incentives, they’re going to take it. The only people that want to act like I was a villain are people that don’t want to accept it and don’t want to look in the mirror at what life is.”

Similar scandals clouded the college football season. Auburn’s Cam Newton was reportedly shopped around to schools by his father. Players at North Carolina and South Carolina were punished for receiving extra benefits. “It runs rampant,” Dykes said. One way to try to fix the problem, Dykes said, would be to pay players. Athletes risk serious injuries on the field for a team that makes millions, and Dykes said he thinks players should get more than a scholarship for their time. But that plan, too, has its flaws. “Once again, it’s going to be uncontrollable,” Dykes said. “Who’s to say who’s getting what? Sure they’ll put guidelines on it, but who’s going to

follow it? There are guidelines now, and schools don’t follow it. That’s the world we live in.” Dykes stressed that he’s not angry at OSU. He said he’s looking forward to seeing his former coach, Pat Jones, and ex-teammate Thurman Thomas for the 2011 Legends in Sports Dinner on May 1 at the Renaissance Hotel. Dykes still attends Cowboys games regularly and said most fans treat him well. But he said he feels as if his alma mater isn’t doing the same. “I think I laid a lot of sweat and tears for OSU,” Dykes said, “and for it to be overshadowed and covered up, I don’t agree with that.”

What are you up to now? I’m a retired football player. I was in real estate for a while. Now I’m just being a parent. I’ve got a son (Jalen). He’s 17. He’s going to Blinn Junior College. He plays football. He plays wide receiver. What did you see out of Justin Blackmon’s season? It was a breakout year. Nobody expected it. I think the key will be now that everyone’s aware of him, how will he go out and perform? I was surprised he didn’t leave school. To have that kind of breakout year in today’s era, most of those kids end up leaving school. My hat goes off to him for it. What do you like about Ryan Broyles? He catches the ball real well. He seems small to me, though. … He makes a lot of catches for Oklahoma. Who would you rather build your college team around — Blackmon or Broyles? I’m biased to Justin. I’m an OSU guy. What made Dez Bryant so successful on the field? He’s a competitor. That’s something you can’t teach. He was such a competitor. When you say a competitor, that means everything you’re in, you want to be successful, you want to win at. … A lot of kids want to be great players, but they don’t have that drive inside of them. Have you followed what’s happened to him off the field? He’s a kid. He’s come into money. A lot of things are being thrown at him. I think if I could tell him one thing, it’d be just to settle down and let things come to you and don’t rush anything. A lot of people are going to judge you always, but you’ve got to care about the image you uphold in front of the media and in front of people. When you played with Mike Gundy, did you ever think he’d be OSU’s head coach? I never thought he would be a head coach at Oklahoma State. I didn’t think he’d be a coach. How do you think he’s done at OSU? He’s done a great job. He’s got to learn how to beat Oklahoma, and he’s got to learn how to beat Texas. Until then, he’ll be an average coach. When you learn how to beat Oklahoma and to beat Texas, then you go to the next level. How do you look back on your time at OSU? Great time. Great memories. Great friends. I tell people all the time, those were the best four years of my life, and I wouldn’t trade it. Matt Baker 918-581-8358 matt.baker@tulsaworld.com

The Carolina Panthers have not decided if they will use their No. 1 draft pick on Auburn quarterback Cam Newton. DAVE MARTIN/AP file

NFL NOTEBOOK

NFL Draft

Panthers haven’t decided on pick: Carolina Panthers general

manager Marty Hurney insists he’s still undecided on how to use the top pick in next week’s NFL draft. In an interview with The Associated Press on Thursday night, Hurney was quick to praise Auburn quarterback Cam Newton, but stressed they’ve made no final decision and haven’t received an offer from another team to move up to No. 1. “If the draft was tomorrow we could go ahead and make decisions,” Hurney said, “but we have a week left and we’re going to continue to refine those decisions.” Newton has become the popular choice for Carolina in various mock drafts. The 6-foot5 Newton took college football by storm in his only season as a starter in 2010 when he won the Heisman Trophy and led the Tigers to the national championship. But there are numerous questions about his character stemming from a 2008 arrest after buying a stolen computer and the NCAA investigation into allegations his father solicited money during his recruitment. “Obviously, like the rest of the players that are at the top of the board, we’ve spent a lot of time with Cam. It’s been a very good experience,” Hurney said. “I think he’s a very talented player that is extremely competitive. I think being successful in the NFL is very important to him.”

Packers’ Jolly gets probation:

Green Bay Packers defensive lineman Johnny Jolly pleaded guilty to a drug possession charge Thursday and was sentenced to probation after striking a deal with prosecutors that wipes out a similar charge. The plea agreement Jolly struck only stated the newer charge would be dropped in exchange for his guilty plea on the older charge and did not guarantee he would be given probation, said prosecutor Todd Keagle. “I did not agree to give him probation. The judge used her experience and her best judgment in deciding what to do,” Keagle said. “It’s not uncommon in this courthouse for that to happen, where we don’t offer probation and the judge gives someone probation.”

Browns QB hosting workouts in Texas: Cleveland quarterback

Colt McCoy has organized workouts in Texas for a few of his teammates during the NFL lockout. Several of the wide receivers are joining him in Austin to throw the ball around. By this time next week, he may have new targets. With the No. 6 overall pick in next week’s draft, the Browns may have the chance to add a top-flight wide receiver like Georgia’s A.J. Green or Alabama’s Julio Jones, considered the top two prospects at that position. — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Eddie Sutton plays with Hayes Gottlieb, 2, son of ESPN’s Doug Gottlieb, who announced his former coach as being the namesake of an award on Thursday. CORY YOUNG/Tulsa World

TRAMEL: College basketball needs another award like Tulsa needs more orange cones. FROM B1

was passed from one generation to the next. The moral of the story: Want to play for Sutton? You better be tough. And that’s an excuse to segue to the original subject. Tulsa Sports Charities is responsible for the creation of a new college basketball award that bears Eddie Sutton’s name. Initial reaction: College basketball needs another award like Tulsa needs more orange cones in the streets. Player of the year awards are named for Dr. James Naismith and John Wooden and Adolph Rupp and Oscar Robertson. That doesn’t include the Lou Henson Award (best mid-major player) or Lute Olson Award (player of the year, excluding freshmen). There’s also the Wayman Tisdale Award (best freshman), Bob Cousy Award (best point guard) and the character-centric Chip Hilton Award, named after a fictional icon. Hilton, the Harry Potter of his day, was the protagonist in a series of books written by coach and author Clair Bee. There’s an award for the best big man (it carries Pete Newell’s name) and best little man. Height merits additional awards? This is like the Guinness Book of World Records. Why not give a trophy to the player with the longest fingernails? The little guy award is the Frances Pomeroy Naismith Award, which means there

Five finalists named for Sutton award Cal’s Jorge Gutierrez, Arizona’s Derrick Williams, Duke’s Kyle Singler, Butler’s Matt Howard and Wisconsin’s Jordan Taylor are finalists for the inaugural Eddie Sutton Tustenugee Award. The recipient will be announced May 1 at a Tulsa Sports Charities Legends in Sports Dinner at the Renaissance Hotel. The award, sponsored by the John and Jerry Marshall Foundation, will honor a college player who exhibits the traits of tenacity and unselfishness that Sutton advocated during his coaching career, including 16 seasons at Okla-

are two Naismith Awards, one of them named after Dr. Naismith’s daughter-in-law. What niche is left for any group that wants to launch a new award? Originally, the Eddie Sutton Award was going to be a defensive award. But there are at least two of those already. Why add to the confusion? Plus, Gottlieb indicated that basing a Sutton Award solely on defense “really doesn’t speak to what it’s like to play for Coach Sutton.” Instead, the award will go to a player who exhibits traits (including tenacity and unselfishness) advocated by Sutton during his career. Sound like hard-tomeasure criteria? Gottlieb simplified it by networking for tough guy nominations. “Every coach in the country and every analyst in the country, we constantly talk about toughness and who’s tougher and you’ve got to have great toughness to win on the road and you’ve got to have toughness to win

homa State. The word “tustenugge” in the award’s title means “warrior” in the language of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation. Tribal officials Roger Barnett and George Tiger, plus Sutton and ESPN analyst Doug Gottlieb were among those attending a Thursday press conference at the Children’s Hospital at Saint Francis. During the press conference, it was announced that the Children’s Hospital at Saint Francis will be the beneficiary of a May 2 Tulsa Sports Charities celebrity golf tournament. — FROM STAFF REPORTS

the league and you’ve got to play and compete with great toughness,” Gottlieb said. “But we don’t actually ever reward that.” And that’s why college hoops needs one more award. Shootists don’t need another trinket for their trophy cases. But the warrior who helps you win games on both ends of the floor deserves a pedestal. Sutton, flattered to have his name on an award, said someone like Gottlieb or Ivan McFarlin or Sidney Moncrief might have been a candidate for such an award when he coached at OSU and Arkansas. The inaugural Sutton Award recipient will be announced during a May 1 Legends in Sports Dinner at the Renaissance Hotel. If the recipient is present, he should brace himself for possible contact. You never know when Sutton might feel compelled to take a charge. Read Jimmie Tramel’s blog at tulsaworld.com/sportsextra

Willis leads at The Heritage ASSOCIATED PRESS HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. — Garrett Willis had a run of six straight birdies for a 7-under 64 and a onestroke lead Thursday in the suspended first round of The HeriGOLF tage in Hilton Head Island, S.C. Willis was a shot in front of Arjun Atwal, Matt Bettencourt, Chad Campbell and Tim Herron at Harbour Town Golf Links. Mark Wilson, Camilo Villegas and 2009 Heritage champion Brian Gay were two strokes back. Luke Donald, the world’s No. 3 player, topped a group at 67, and defending champion Jim Furyk had a 68.

Han Chang-won shot an 8-under 64 to take a onestroke lead in the suspended first round of the China Open in Chengdu, China. Han had six birdies in a front-nine 30 on the Luxehills International Country Club course.

DOUBLE-FEATURE DREAMS

ONE Architecture, LLC/Courtesy

Admiral Twin plans inspire thoughts of ideal drive-in movies BY MICHAEL SMITH | WORLD SCENE WRITER

The new version of the Admiral Twin Drive-in hasn’t even broken ground, but we’re already thinking about the movies to come. We’re thinking about the movies from the past that we saw in the great outdoors, too. That made us think further: What would be a dream doublefeature to watch at the drive-in once the new screens are built and the theater reopens this summer? If we could schedule one night’s double-feature, what two movies would flicker to life after dark? That’s what we asked a few local moviegoers and outdoor cinema experts.

Tell us what movies you would like to see as a double feature this summer at the Admiral Twin Drive-in. tulsaworld.com/twindouble facebook.com/tulsaworldscene

Michael Smith, Tulsa World Scene writer

Kim Brown, Tulsa World Scene writer

My drive-in experiences began in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and I would relish re-creating the experience of two flicks that I saw during that time: the schlockfest horror film “Humanoids From the Deep” (salmon-man creatures mating with humans!) and the stillspooky sci-fi fantasy “Altered States,” both from 1980. I could easily have said the “Grindhouse” double-feature from 2007, which teamed Robert Rodriguez’s hilarious zombiefest “Planet Terror” with Quentin Tarantino’s fast-car/revenge movie “Death Proof.” The two were an homage to the kind of pictures that the drive-in used to show, and they deserve the outdoor cinema treatment. But I’m sticking with salmon-men and William Hurt turning into a missing link.

Nostalgia fuels my dream drive-in double-feature scenario. The week of my high school graduation, I rode with a group of girlfriends from Bartlesville to the Admiral Twin to see my first double-feature at the landmark. We watched “Sliver” starring Sharon Stone, and it was followed by “Basic Instinct.” Not exactly dreamy. So that’s why I’d choose “American Graffiti,” to recapture some memories from that idealistic time. I’d follow it up with “Gidget” — the original 1959 film starring Sandra Dee — which is not only a great summer surfer flick, but it’s exactly the type of movie teens would have gone to see at the drive-in during “American Graffiti.”

The obvious “dream double-feature” for the Admiral Twin Drive-in

Blake Smith, owner of the Admiral Twin Drive-in

When the architectural rendering of the new Admiral Twin Drive-in was first published in the Tulsa World last week, only a few people seemed Courtesy to notice the tiny letters on the marquee in the drawing: “The Outsiders,” picture, and “Rumble Fish.” Francis Ford Coppola’s film of S.E. Hinton’s novel “The Outsiders” shot scenes at the Admiral Twin in 1982. Ever since that time, the drive-in has remained arguably the most famous film location in Oklahoma, as much for the young actors who became superstars (Matt Dillon, Tom Cruise, Rob Lowe, Patrick Swayze and more) as for Hinton’s beloved book. While filming “The Outsiders,” Coppola worked with Hinton on the script for “Rumble Fish,” based on another of Hinton’s books, and he shot the films back-to-back in Tulsa. Both were released in 1983.

“I’d be happy to see anything up there because it would mean we are back and open, which is the most important thing to me,” said Smith, who watched the giant screen tower burn to the ground last September but now plans to break ground in the coming weeks. Smith went with two of his favorite movies. They feature two of Hollywood’s favorite stars as a dreamy duo for his double-feature. “I’d have to say ‘Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid’ and ‘The Sting.’ Those movies speak for themselves — Paul Newman and Robert Redford!”

Joshua Peck, Circle Cinema midnight movie programmer and drive-in movie aficionado

Blake Smith, co-owner of the Admiral Twin Drive-in, is ready to rebuild. MICHAEL WYKE/Tulsa World

Bob Keith, longtime Admiral Twin Drive-in projectionist “I’m 71 years old, and I’ve worked at various times — and I still do — out at the drive-in since 1956. That’s when I went to work in junior high until I went into the Navy,” Keith said. “With that in mind, I might say a double-feature I remember seeing out there, ‘Red River’ and ‘Blood on the Moon.’ ‘Red River’ was John Wayne, and John Wayne movies always did good business. “I can still remember John Wayne’s Vietnam movie, ‘The Green Berets,’ running it on both (of the drive-in’s screens), and we sold that out for a long time.”

Michael Smith 918-581-8479 michael.smith@tulsaworld.com

“My dream drive-in double-feature is two wildly disparate movies that each make me think of summer in their own peculiar way,” said Peck, who staged a pair of fundraising midnight movies at Circle Cinema for the Admiral Twin rebuilding fund. His first movie of the evening: “The Bad News Bears.” “Of course it would be the original, ribald 1976 version with Walter Matthau as the drunken coach to a bunch of misfits and underdogs,” he said. “What is more American than a summer screening about baseball at the drive-in? Just the idea of it makes my heart swell with patriotism and joy.” He throws a curveball with his second feature: “Terrence Malick’s 1978 meditation on nature and doomed romance ‘Days of Heaven,’ filled with some of the most gorgeous photography to ever grace a movie. Watching ‘Days of Heaven’ outside, on a huge screen, below stars whilst surrounded by the dark of night would be an amazing, unforgettable experience.”

Nolan reunites ‘Inception’ actors for next film in Batman trilogy Two familiar faces will show up in “The Dark Knight Rises” next summer. For Christopher Nolan’s third film in his Batman trilogy, the filmmaker has cast two of his “Inception” stars. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Marion Cotillard (the Leonardo DiCaprio character’s co-conspirator in dream-invading and his dead wife, respectively, in “Inception”)

Cotillard has been cast as Miranda Tate, “a Wayne Enterprises Taken from Tulsa World board member eager to help a stillfilm critic Michael grieving Bruce Wayne resume his Smith’s blog “I See Movfather’s philanthropic endeavors ies for Free.” for Gotham,” according to a Warner tulsaworld.com/iseemovies Bros. press release. Meanwhile, Gordon-Levitt is to will both appear in “The Dark portray John Blake, “a Gotham City Knight Rises,” to be released July beat cop assigned to special duty 20, 2012. under the command of Commis-

sioner Gordon,” the release said. “When you collaborate with people as talented as Marion and Joe, it comes as no surprise that you would want to repeat the experience,” Nolan said. “I immediately thought of them for the roles of Miranda and Blake, and I am looking forward to working with both of them again.” Already cast in “The Dark Knight Rises” are Christian Bale, who re-

turns as Bruce Wayne/Batman; Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle (the character known for becoming Catwoman); and Tom Hardy as Bane, a mystery character who has not been described in detail. Hardy, you may recall, played the forger in “Inception,” a film in which Nolan clearly enjoyed the people with whom he worked. — MICHAEL SMITH, World Scene writer

and likely a preview of the screenplay for which drafts are still being written — can be found in his interviews with three publications in Montana: the Missoulian, the Whitefish Pilot and the Flathead Beacon. Despite his past comments that “based on the evidence and testimony, I don’t think (McVeigh) acted alone,” as he told a Missoulian reporter in 2001, Wold last month told the Flathead Beacon that “The movie is certainly not a conspiracy theory at all. … Its aim will be to respectfully identify with the citizens of Oklahoma City and the victims’ families, first and foremost.” That comment may seem contradictory to the original description of the screenplay — “An ambitious legal aide working for the Timothy McVeigh defense team tries to get to the bottom of what really happened during the Oklahoma City bombing” — but Wold told the Missoulian last month that “I hate using the word ‘conspiracy,’ because it has such a negative connotation.” “That’s not what it is,” Wold said to the publication about the script, described in the Hollywood publication Variety as a political thriller. “It’s the ability to present to the viewer all the evidence and letting them come to their own conclusion — which is kind of rare in films these days.” Or as Wold told the Whitefish Pilot: “It will allow viewers a chance to think about the case. … In most trials, the majority of evidence never gets to a jury. The movie will let viewers see a lot of that.” Wold told the publications that McVeigh’s lead attorney

The filmmakers The film tentatively titled “O.K.C.” is reportedly to be directed by Barry Levinson, whose films have won six Oscars, and produced by Peter Safran, a veteran Hollywood agent whose producing career includes spoofs and comedies. Their respective filmographies include:

Barry Levinson as director:

• Diner

for the federal trial, Stephen Jones, gave a speech at the University of Montana in 1997. Wold said he was so impressed with Jones’ sense of justice that he offered his services to the defense team — despite his not being finished with his law classes and his wedding being only a few months away. Wold told the newspapers that he couldn’t turn down the opportunity when Jones called a couple of weeks later. Wold arrived in Denver to examine thousands of witness statements as well as FBI reports, photographs, videos and phone records.

• The Natural • Good Morning, Vietnam • Rain Man • Bugsy • Disclosure • Sleepers • Wag the Dog

Peter Safran as producer: • Scary Movie • Over Her Dead Body • Meet the Spartans • Disaster Movie • Vampires Suck • Buried

He also handled calls received on the office’s “red phone,” according to the Whitefish Pilot story. “It was the initiation, the crazy-conspirators and death-threats phone,” Wold said in the story. “For the next 18 hours, I would answer roughly 45 calls, ranging from witnesses saying they knew who the real bomber was to the claim that the military had placed chips in all of our heads and controlled our every move.” In addition to attending to McVeigh’s family during the trial — Wold would eventually lead the family into the

courtroom to hear the jury sentence McVeigh to death by execution — Wold also described for the Whitefish Pilot his being assigned to shop “for diesel fuel, fertilizer and a small film canister so a defense witness ‘could build a mini-bomb in our coffee room.’ ” Kari Watkins, the director of the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum, previously told the Tulsa World that if filmmakers focus on the proven facts, “It’s an intriguing story of how an American could do this.” “But if it focuses on conspiracy theories,” she said, “then I think it’s a waste of time.” Wold told the Missoulian last month that causing controversy is not the objective. “It’s not a movie to incite conflict or by any means disparage the suffering of the citizens of Oklahoma City,” Wold continued. “The fallen and living victims of that, respect for them and their pain has been a foremost condition under which I’ve been working on this project.” Michael Smith 918-581-8479 michael.smith@tulsaworld.com

Lady Gaga’s ‘Judas’ release comes shortly before Easter BY MANYA BRACHEAR CHICAGO — As Christians prepare to commemorate Christ’s ultimate sacrifice on the cross and celebrate his resurrection, Lady Gaga fans are celebrating “Judas,” the artist’s newest song named for the man who betrayed Jesus. The latest single off the album “Born this Way,” which talks about confronting one’s inner demons and hopelessly loving the wrong man, was supposed to come out five days before Easter. But leaks on the Internet forced an earlier release last Friday. Shot earlier this month but not yet aired, the video reportedly features Lady Gaga in the role of Mary Magdalene, the celebrated disciple believed to be the first person to see Jesus after he rose from the dead. In a promotional video for the song and video that aired on the Internet channel GagaVision, the artist announced: “Judas is coming. Let the cultural baptism begin.” The clip closes with the words: “If they were not who you were taught that they would be, would you still believe?” In that same footage, Gaga confronts a protester outside one of her shows who tells her she’s headed to hell for her “pervert ways” and “homo stuff.” When Gaga counters that God is a part of her shows and she has 13 years of Catholic education, the picketer turns to bashing Catholics. Her chauffeur drives away from the no-win situation. But she can’t win over the conservative William Donohue of the Catholic League either, who calls the artist a Madonna copycat, referring to the elder star’s “Like a Prayer” video in 1989.

Directors slam early release home videos LOS ANGELES — Bigname Hollywood action-flick directors including James Cameron and Michael Bay have come out guns-ablazing against a plan by studios to allow people to rent new movies at home just two months after they debut in theaters, a move that cuts the wait in half for home film buffs. The directors fear the option will hurt theater ticket sales and “could lead to the loss of hundreds of millions of dollars in annual revenue,” they said in an open letter released this week. “Some theaters will close.” The first movie offered in the early window is Sony Corp.’s Columbia Pictures comedy “Just Go with It,” starring Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston. Other movies from Time Warner Inc.’s Warner Bros., Comcast Corp.’s Universal and News Corp.’s Twentieth Century Fox are coming soon.

Starting Thursday, subscribers of DirecTV’s satellite video service with a highdefinition digital video recorder will be able to rent those movies 60 days after they debut in theaters for $30 and view them as many times as they want over a 48-hour period. The offering could be attractive for families with small children or others who can’t make it out but still want to see the latest films. Studios are struggling to come up with new products to offset a steady decline in DVD sales, which have fallen 30 percent from their peak in 2006. They also want to minimize the expense of promoting a movie twice in periods that are four months apart. DirecTV defended the new service, saying that earlier promotion on home video could even help box office sales. “Renewed promotion around a movie while it is still in theaters may generate additional gate receipts,” said

Derek Chang, the satellite TV company’s executive vice president of content strategy and development. “We think the fears are overblown.” Many theater owners are opposed to the service, even though major movies make almost all their money in theaters in the first two months. “Just Go with It,” for example, has already made nearly $200 million at box offices worldwide. Last weekend, it took in just $270,000 from U.S. and Canadian audiences. John Fithian, the president of the National Association of Theatre Owners, said cinema operators are already under pressure to spend billions of dollars to upgrade their venues with digital projectors and 3-D capable screens to support a format that kept North American box office revenues from declining last year. “Absolutely the wrong time to experiment with risky models is when that massive investment is being made,” Fithian said.

Mixed reviews from church on pope movie BY ALESSANDRA RIZZO Associated Press

ROME — Director Nanni Moretti’s movie about a panic-stricken pope who can’t cope with the enormity of his task is a hit across Italy. Within the Catholic Church, the film has drawn some criticism, though not the anathema that “The Da Vinci Code” has incurred, and even a little praise. “Habemus Papam” — Latin for “We Have a Pope,” the expression with which the election of a pontiff is announced to the world — opened April 15 to a strong showing at the Italian box office. The movie will be shown in competition at the Cannes Film Festival next month. Avvenire, the influential newspaper of the Italian Catholic bishops’ conference, printed a letter by a Vatican expert last week calling for a boycott of the movie, saying “hands off the pope” and asking readers “Why should we finance those who offend our religion?” But no such call has come from Vatican officials. And Avvenire itself said in its own review that the film is well-

Michel Piccoli. “There’s no sarcasm, no caricature,” wrote Vatican Radio. The movie opens with scenes of a papal funeral — including footage from the real funeral of John Paul II in 2005 — and subsequent conclave. Upon his election as pontiff, the cardinal played by Piccoli panics,

shouting desperately and running away as soon as the words “Habemus Papam” are pronounced from a St. Peter’s balcony to an awaiting crowd. “A quality is seen in me which I don’t possess,” the pope tells a psychoanalyst, played by Moretti, who is brought inside the Vatican to help the paralyzed pontiff.

“I can’t do it!” he screams at another point, under mounting pressure. Before long, the pope, whose identity is not yet public, escapes the Vatican and starts roaming the streets of Rome looking for answers. While the world awaits, cardinals and the psychoanalyst alike are sequestered inside the Vatican, occupying themselves with games of cards and even a surreal volleyball tournament. Moretti is best known for political satire, as in his latest movie “Il Caimano” (“The Cayman”) on Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi, or surreal stories of personal obsession mixed with social commentary. He himself played a confused Catholic priest 25 years ago in “La Messa e Finita” (“Mass is Over”), a ferocious and bitter look at Italian society. Moretti maintains he did not want to make a movie on the Vatican. “It is a movie on the difficulties of meeting other people’s expectations,” the director said. “It’s the story of a man who comes to terms with his limits.” Although the Vatican spokesman is often seen ly-

ing — pressed by the unprecedented circumstance of a missing pope — the film’s representation of the college of cardinals is likely to have pleased the Vatican. The cardinals are depicted as mostly hopeless, harmless old men who worry over their pope, rather than the scheming, powerful and politically savvy princes of the church they are sometimes made out to be. “The image Moretti gives of the church is goodnatured, there’s nothing confrontational or caustic,” wrote Catholic author Vittorio Messori, noting that Moretti does not cite the sex scandal that has plagued the church or a money-laundering investigation that has targeted the Vatican’s bank. Still, some Catholic commentators have questioned aspects of the movie, such as having an inadequate pope as the premise of the movie. But such criticism pales next to the call to boycott “The Da Vinci Code” by a Vatican official years ago. That film, based on Dan Brown’s novel, depicted the conservative Catholic organization Opus Dei as a murderous sect.

Friend won’t socialize with alcoholic husband

NEA CROSSWORD

Dear Amy: My three closest girlfriends and I have been friends for 30 years. One of our friends has a husband who is an alcoholic. There have been a number of issues over the years (embarrassing outbursts, groping, name-calling, berating her children from her first marriage, verbally abusing her and us, etc.). We have countless times encouraged her to seek counseling or see an attorney. She threatens to divorce him often but never follows through. Finally the three of us had enough and quit socializing with him. We told her that, even though she has decided to put up with his behavior, we did not have to. She is now invited to our functions alone. She accepts this and comes alone sometimes and declines on other occasions. Next month, she is having a graduation party for her daughter and has invited us. I told her that I felt it was hypocritical to attend a function at her (and his) home when he is not welcome in my home. I told her that everyone will feel incredibly uncomfortable. The two other friends are inclined to go for her daughter’s sake. I feel that it is inappropriate for us to go and could likely develop into an explosive situation. What is your opinion? — Flustered Friend Dear Flustered: Just as your friend sometimes accepts and sometimes declines invitations, based on the situation, you should use your judgment about events she hosts. I agree with your friends that you should consider

attending this function to honor her daughter, but strongly caution you three not to behave like a social monolith — but as caring individuals. I applaud your limitsetting with your friend. However, she and her children are at risk of becoming isolated. Demonstrate to this family your ability to make mature choices and behave well, even under challenging circumstances. Dear Amy: I’m responding to the letter from “Lovelorn,” who didn’t want to try Internet dating. Online dating is extremely common now and proven to be very successful. With busy work schedules these days, it’s not always easy to find the time to attend social outings. I tried online dating myself, and thanks to it, I’m now one year into being happily married, and my wife and I are expecting our first child. As they say, “Don’t bash it until you try it!” — Happily Matched Dear Matched: The many responses to “Lovelorn” (and my own experience) show that online matching can work.

Neuropathy, myopathy sufferer needs relief

Peter

Gott, M.D. Newspaper Enterprise Association

Dear Dr. Gott: Four years ago, I was told that I have both neuropathy and myopathy. I’m finding it more difficult to walk and even to lie down comfortably. Is there anything new I can take to eliminate the nerveand muscle-damage discomfort I’m experiencing? I take one 300 mg gabapentin at night. I’ll be 74 this year and take no other drugs. Dear Reader: Neuropathy is caused by damage to nerves.

Peripheral neuropathy is the most common form, so this is the type I assume you have. It is a symptom with numerous possible causes. It results in communication problems between the central nervous system and the remainder of the body. Initial treatment may be with over-the-counter pain medication, anti-seizure medications such as the gabapentin you are taking and antidepressants or a lidocaine patch.

Discontinue smoking if you currently do so and seek foot and hand care. Massage the extremities gently or have someone else do it regularly in an attempt to improve circulation. Avoid the pressure of poorly fitting shoes, crossing your knees, or resting on your elbows for extended periods of time. Speak with your physician regarding the use of overthe-counter topical creams containing capsaicin rubbed

“We live and learn,” South said after going down at 3NT. “At any rate, we live,” said Cy the Cynic gloomily. He had been North, and the innocent often suffer with the guilty. East had tossed in an overcall of one heart, hence West led the jack against South’s 3NT (a questionable bid with good club support and only a single heart stopper). East played the seven, and South took his king, led a diamond to dummy and let the nine of clubs ride. West produced the king and led his last heart, and East ran his hearts for down one. Let’s hope South learned something from the deal. He doesn’t need a heart trick to make 3NT — at least nine tricks are available in the other suits. But South does need to prevent the defense from running the hearts. South must let West’s jack of hearts win. East wins the second heart, dropping South’s king, but the defense can take only three hearts. If East shifts to a diamond, South wins and finesses in clubs, assuring the contract.

Price spike takes toll on grocers, restaurants BY KYLE ARNOLD

ising prices for tomatoes and other produce are putting the squeeze on restaurants, which are trying to keep their menu prices from following the upward trend. Some restaurants are going “by request only” for the savory red fruit; others are simply holding out for prices to drop. According to the Consumer Price Index, national average prices for many types of produce have spiked 18 percent to 31 percent since December. A hard winter freeze killed many crops

Strong earnings reports from big companies including Apple Inc., Travelers Cos. Inc. and UnitedHealth Group Inc. lifted stocks across the market Thursday. The Dow Jones industrial average closed at another 2011 high. The 30-company index rose 52.45 points, or 0.4 percent, to 12,505.99. “There are a lot of concerns out there, but investors are looking at the bottom line right now, and that’s earnings,” said Yu-Dee Chang at ACE Investment Strategists in Virginia.

Southwest posts small gains as fuel costs increase BY D.R. STEWART World Staff Writer

Southwest Airlines Co. posted $5 million in net income, or 1 cent per share, in the first quarter as fuel costs rose 26.4 percent, to $1.04 billion, company executives said Thursday.

“We set all kinds of (passenger) traffic records (in the first quarter). We’re benefiting from an improving economy. Our demand environment, which includes both business and leisure travelers, is very strong, and we anticipate that will continue in the second quarter.” Fuel and oil expenses, at $1.04 billion in the first quarter, outpaced salaries, wages and benefits, which totaled $954 million, up 10.4 percent from 2010’s first quarter. Total first-quarter operating expenses were $2.99 billion, a 16 perthe completion of the momentous integration of Fiat and Chrysler, initiated less than two years ago, that will result in the creation of a global automaker,” Fiat and Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne said in a statement. Milan-based Fiat SpA will exercise an equity call option, bringing its stake to 46 percent, once Chrysler has repaid $6.6 billion in outstanding loans to the U.S. and Canadian governments, which Fiat said will occur by June 30. Fiat expects to gain another 5 percent, for a majority 51 percent share, by the end of the year — setting the stage for a Chrysler public offering and raising expectations of a full merger.

even caught the attention of criminals. Last month, thieves stole six tractortrailer loads of tomatoes from Florida growers. The loss was estimated at $300,000. Lettuce and tomatoes can be the bane of restaurant owners because they are the most frequently used produce on the menu. “When we make a salad, it’s just romaine lettuce and more romaine lettuce,” said Bill Bayouth, owner of Billy’s on the Square, a popular downtown lunch spot. Thus far, Bayouth hasn’t raised his menu prices, but he said the produce price spike is affecting profits. “We’ve been here for years, and people would let us know if we raised our prices by a dime,” Bayouth said. “We’ll just hang in there for now.” Another downtown restaurant, Grand Selections on Main Street, had to look elsewhere for tomatoes after prices got too high. “We were doing requests for tomatoes, and the prices

the 95 percent reductions within three years of a final approval. The affected plants include AEP-PSO’s two coalfired units at Northeastern in Oologah and similar OG&E facilities in Muskogee and Noble County. “It’s not physically possible to do this in three years,” Solomon said Thursday. AEP-PSO, which provides power to 525,000 customers statewide, estimated that installing scrubbers and other improvements within that three-year window would cost about $800 million, which ultimately would be passed on to customers. A highly contentious $82 million rate case approved in January 2009 raised bills about 7 percent for the average customer. The new increases would add 10 percent to 12 percent on bills purely for the regional haze compliance issues, AEP-PSO estimated. Future

were doubling,” said Brent Meyer, the manager. “But we found another supplier, and it helped.” National burger chain Wendy’s went “by request only” for tomatoes on its burgers for a while, but it restored full tomatoes privileges near the end of March. Although some Wendy’s restaurants in the Tulsa area may still be displaying the signs, a company official said tomatoes should be included

on all usual items. Produce prices in general have been up for grocers, but Steve Lehto, vice president and chief operating officer of Reasor’s, said high fuel prices are probably as much to blame as anything else. The Tahlequah-based grocery chain has moved to larger variety of suppliers, which has helped keep its wholesale produce prices steadier. Most recently, it began receiving shipments

of greenhouse tomatoes and produce from Canada. “We don’t really have the option to adjust our prices with costs,” Lehto said. “We have to keep up with our competitors.” But even as wholesale prices have dropped, gas prices haven’t, and costs may remain high for restaurants, grocers and consumers.

chasing high fuel prices.” First-quarter revenue per available seat mile was 12.66 cents, an 8.9 percent increase from a year earlier, while cost per available seat mile was 12.2 cents, up 7.1 percent. Southwest paid an average of $2.96 per gallon for jet fuel in the first quarter, a 26.5 percent increase compared with the same period last year, and it consumed 356 million gallons of fuel, an 8.2 percent increase. Kelly said Boeing Co., the Federal Aviation Administration, the National Transportation Safety Board and Southwest continue to investigate the cause of a midair rupture in the roof of a 15-year-old Boeing 737-300 on April 1. Flight 812, bound from Phoenix to Sacramento, Calif., with 118 passengers and a crew of five, was forced to make an emergency landing

in Yuma, Ariz., after a fivefoot section of the roof ripped away. Southwest operates 170 of the 737-300s out of a fleet of 550 aircraft. The airline grounded 79 of the 737-300s, canceling hundreds of flights, and found five aircraft with cracks in the roof, Kelly said. “The NTSB is looking at what happened and why,” Kelly said. “Safety is our duty and top priority. We’re working closely with Boeing, FAA and NTSB.” Southwest, which announced in September it had signed a definitive agreement to acquire AirTran Holdings Inc., the parent of AirTran Airways, for $1.4 billion, expects to close the transaction on May 2, Kelly said. The Department of Justice has not approved the AirTran deal, officials said.

In the first quarter, Southwest spent $9 million, primarily on consulting fees, in association with the AirTran acquisition, company executives said. Southwest executives said the AirTran transaction has the potential to yield net annual synergies of more than $400 million by 2013. Excluding one-time acquisition and integration costs estimated at $500 million, the transaction is expected to be accretive to Southwest’s earnings per share within the first year following the closing of the deal, officials said. Southwest shares closed Thursday at $11.31, down 32 cents or 2.75 percent. More than 15.2 million shares were traded, nearly double the average daily volume of 8.67 million shares.

carbon limitations could raise that overall increase from 20 percent to 25 percent. The rejected state plan, which AEP-PSO and OG&E helped craft with the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality, reportedly would have achieved the same reductions over a longer time frame. The emissions controls would have been completed by about 2026. “We’re going to do the right thing from an environmental standpoint,” Bud Ground, AEP-PSO’s manager of governmental and environmental affairs, said during the meeting. “We want to do it in a way that doesn’t cripple the customer or the economy.” The EPA’s response indicated in its opinion that the cost of those improvements, such as coal scrubbers, was only about half of what AEPPSO estimated. Ground replied that contractors and planners responsible for those kind of projects have worked on about $5 billion worth of work on projects. “We think we know what it’s going to take to build those controls,” Ground said. An EPA public hearing on regional haze held last week in Tulsa featured numerous residents applauding the stricter emissions standards

and vowing they would be happy to pay higher rates. In reality, AEP-PSO officials said, most ratepayers are angry or at least resistant when increases are imposed. A case in point is the utility’s recent WindChoice Tariff option, in which customers can purchase pure wind power generated at Minco turbine farm for a $1.72 premium per 100-kilowatt hour block. Previous surveys indicated that a sizable portion of customers said they were willing to pay more, but so far only a couple hundred have signed up for the WindChoice option. Wind energy in itself is not the final answer to cleaner power generation, Solomon added. Variability is always a challenge with wind generation, which forces utilities to use natural gas-fired plants to offset those factors. And although some federal regulators and environmentalists opposed the use of coal, Solomon still believes that it’s the most abundant and cheapest fuel source available for AEP-PSO and other power generators. Natural gas may be only $4 per million British thermal units now, but the price was up to $15 only a few years ago, and utility officials believe their greatest hedge is having a va-

riety of sources. Those are long-term issues, but AEP-PSO’s immediate focus is on rebutting the EPA’s findings while also moving toward cleaner-burning generation units, both coal and gas, Solomon said. A last resort would be state Attorney General Scott Pruitt’s threat to sue the EPA. Haze and sulfur dioxide are just the beginning for AEP-PSO and other utilities. An Edison Electric Institute chart adapted from a 2003 EPA report shows possible regulatory changes for the utility industry. The busy, color-coded timeline shows various rules and deadlines for ozone, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, transport efficiency standards, ash, carbon dioxide and effluents. Keeping up with all of those will be time-consuming and expensive, the AEP-PSO officials said. “The EPA clearly has a role,” Solomon said. “All we’ve said is the right way to do this is in a balanced way.” EPA’s public comment period on the regional haze rules will end May 23. The rules may be put in final form by November.

AT&T: Acquisition iPhone subscribers boost Verizon of T-Mobile would ••The•company•nips• at•the•heels•of•its• wireless•rival•AT&T. improve service BY JOELLE TESSLER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — AT&T Inc. is telling federal regulators that its proposed $39 billion purchase of T-Mobile USA would lead to fewer dropped and blocked calls and faster mobile Internet connections for subscribers and would bring wireless broadband service to nearly all corners of the country. In paperwork filed with the Federal Communications Commission Thursday, AT&T argues that the acquisition would enable the companies to make far more efficient use of the critical airwaves they need to handle mobile apps, streaming video and other bandwidthhungry online services by letting them combine their limited wireless spectrum holdings. AT&T warns that it is running out of airwaves as sophisticated new mobile devices, such as the Apple iPhone and iPad, put enormous strain on its network. That has degraded service quality, particularly in dense metropolitan areas. AT&T, which until recently was the only U.S. carrier offering the iPhone, says its mobile data traffic surged 8,000 percent between 2007 and 2010. “AT&T faces network spectrum and capacity constraints more severe than those of any other wireless provider, and this merger provides by far the surest, fastest, and most efficient solution to that challenge,” the company said in its filing. Its plan is to integrate

a significant portion of TMobile’s cell sites into the AT&T network, which will increase cell density and double the amount of network traffic that can be handled using the two carriers’ existing airwaves. T-Mobile subscribers will also benefit from the deal because T-Mobile, too, is bumping up against capacity constraints in key markets, AT&T said. AT&T’s filing with the FCC comes one month after the company announced plans to acquire T-Mobile USA from Germany’s Deutsche Telekom AG for $39 billion in cash and stock. The FCC and the Justice Department are expected to spend at least a year reviewing the deal. AT&T’s argument is likely to strike a chord with federal regulators. FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski has been warning of a “looming spectrum crisis” as more Americans go online using mobile devices. Both the FCC and the Obama administration are exploring ways to free up more airwaves for wireless broadband services. In its filing, AT&T also took aim at another top priority of both the FCC and the Obama administration: ensuring that all Americans — including those living in rural areas — have access to high-speed Internet connections. AT&T said the purchase of T-Mobile would enable it to cover more than 97 percent of the U.S. population with its new highspeed, fourth-generation wireless service.

5 QUESTIONS: GERRY CHAUVIN

Anti-virus security always a necessity for computer users Dear Action Line: My mother uses her computer only to send e-mails and to forward hoax warnings to friends, and she wonders why it keeps getting infected with viruses. She won’t let me install anti-virus software, claiming she’s heard this will give her viruses. What do you think? — D.J., Tulsa

MIKE SIMONS/Tulsa World

Gerry Chauvin is director of development for Eastgate Metroplex, formerly Eastland Mall, as well as Corporate Woods, an office park near U.S. 169 and the Broken Arrow Expressway. He is a national real estate consultant with experience in a wide range of development. He has managed the acquisition and redevelopment of three mall projects similar to Eastgate, each with an average budget of more than $40 million.

Mall conversion has challenges Interview conducted by ROBERT EVATT • Tulsa World staff writer

How would you characterize the current state of Eastgate Metroplex, the office center at the former site of Eastland Mall? Is the occupancy and tenant mix meeting projections? Both the current occupancy percentage and tenant mix at Eastgate are meeting expectations. In fact, in some cases they’re exceeding expectations. The original timetable for the redevelopment of the project was estimated at three to five years. We’re now a little over four years into the process. Given the economic downturn, we’re excited to have the project in its current position. Our tenant mix covers the major industry groups we sought to include in the project from the outset, including large customer-service users; educational facilities including post-secondary, vocational and early childhood; civic and municipal uses; medical uses; and child care. We also have the numerous amenities needed to provide daily services to the regular patrons such as food and beverage, health and beauty, and financial services.

How did the conversion of Eastland compare to conversions of other shopping malls across the nation? This has been the most challenging of all the similar conversions in which I’ve been involved to date. The preconceived notions about this particular facility and location have been challenging to overcome. The economy has made attracting companies from other parts of the country more difficult. The result is that we’ve had to refocus on relocating tenants that were already in Tulsa to move to Eastgate Metroplex. While we’ve been able to successfully grow our project, we’re very supportive of efforts that work toward the kind of economic stimulation that comes from recruiting companies to relocate from outside Tulsa.

How common is it to convert a mall to business purposes versus just letting it sit vacant? Has the economy slowed other conversion proposals? Conversions can be difficult and require some financial risks. The development costs are front-loaded, which requires the developer to make a large initial investment for infrastructure needs and then work

NEW YORK — The rate on the 30-year mortgage fell last week, staying below 5 percent. But low rates have done little to lift the struggling housing market. Freddie Mac says the average rate on the 30-year loan declined to 4.80 percent from 4.91 percent the previous week. The benchmark mortgage rate hit a 40year low of 4.17 percent in November. The average rate on the 15-year fixed mortgage fell to 4.02 percent from 4.13 percent. It reached 3.57 percent in November, the lowest level on records dating back to 1991. Mortgage rates tend to track the yield on the 10year Treasury note, which fell earlier this week. Sales of previously occupied homes rose slightly last month to a seasonally adjusted pace of 5.1 million homes a year, the National Foreign Exchange The dollar fell to a 16-month low against the euro Thursday after better-thanexpected earnings from companies like Apple and General Electric motivated investors to buy riskier assets.

Association of Realtors said this week. But the March gains were driven by a rise in foreclosure sales to investors. Even with the increase, home sales remained below the 6-million-homes-a-year pace considered healthy by most economists. To calculate average mortgage rates, Freddie Mac collects rates from lenders across the country on Monday through Wednesday of each week. Rates often fluctuate significantly, even within a single day. The average rate on a fiveyear adjustable-rate mortgage fell to 3.61 percent from 3.78 percent. The five-year adjustablerate loan hit 3.25 percent last month, the lowest rate on records dating back to January 2005. The average rate on a oneyear adjustable-rate loan fell to 3.16 percent from 3.25 percent. That marked the lowest level for the rate on the one-year ARM in the last year.

Average time to exploitation of unprotected computers is measured in minutes in address ranges of cable modem, DSL and dial-up providers.” Corrupted software files: USCERT urges users to keep software up to date and to “install software patches so that attackers cannot take advantage of known problems or vulnerabilities. Many operating systems offer automatic updates. If this option is available, you should enable it.” Malicious code: “This is not always hidden in webpage scripts or unusual file formats. Attackers corrupt types of files you would recognize and consider safe, so you should take precautions when opening files from other people.” Corruptible files: “Attackers are able to insert malicious code in any file, files that include documents created with word processing software, spreadsheets or image files. After corrupting them, attackers distribute them through email or post them to websites. Depending on the type of malicious code, you may infect your computer by just opening the file. When corrupting files, attackers take advantage of vulnerabilities they discover in software used to create or open files. These might allow attackers to insert and execute malicious scripts or code, and they are not always detected.” Submit Action Line questions by calling 918-699-8888, emailing phil.mulkins@tulsaworld.com or by mailing them to Tulsa World Action Line, P.O.

What work is left to be done at Eastgate, whether it’s construction or attracting a specific type of tenant? Our next challenge is finding the best use for the former Dillard’s building. We would very much like to convert it to a three-story, classA office building and have focused on trying to attract a single user to occupy the space. The challenge lies in the fact that there is a very narrow user group looking for a 240,000-square-foot suburban office space in east Tulsa. We’re continuing to look at several options, including a senior housing facility, and hope to complete that analysis within a few months so we can continue to move forward on completing this project.

to fill the spaces to support that investment. Yes, the economy has certainly hampered these types of developments nationally, as financing has been much more difficult to obtain. Even traditional real estate lending has been restricted, so you can imagine the impact of financing a project like this one. Fortunately for us, our success has proven that projects like this can happen if done correctly.

This sounds like an old flu vaccine myth — that your flu shot can give you the flu. Not so. There are lots of myths floating around, and most of them come in off the Internet. Every computer owner and Internet user must install anti-virus software or their computers will become infected in a matter of minutes, says the Department of Homeland Security’s Computer Emergency Readiness Team, or US-CERT. Expect the worst: Its treatise “Before you connect a new computer to the Internet” at tulsaworld.com/computerfirsttimers says there is a growing risk to Internet users who have no dedicated information technology support. “Recently, we have observed a trend toward exploitation of new or otherwise unprotected computers in increasingly shorter periods of time. This problem is exacerbated by a number of issues.” Factors of infection: “Many computers’ default configurations are not secure. New security vulnerabilities are discovered between the time the computer was built and configured by the manufacturer and the time the user set up the computer for the first time. When upgrading software from commercially packaged media (e.g., CD-ROM, DVDROM), new vulnerabilities are discovered since the disc was manufactured.” “Attackers know the common broadband and dial-up IP address ranges, and scan them regularly (looking for new, naïve victims). Many worms circulate the

When the roof of a Boeing 737-300 ruptured during a ﬂight April 1, investors showed no reaction – even after Boeing admitted that it didn’t expect the skin of a 15-year-old Southwest Airlines plane to wear out. The company’s stock is up 2 percent since then. The S&P 500 is up less than a percent. Citigroup analyst Jason Gursky doesn’t expect that the tear on the Southwest 737 will persuade airlines to stop buying Boeing jets. But he says investors do have other concerns about Boeing: The 787, an advanced airliner built to be lighter and more efficient, is three years behind schedule. The company hopes to deliver the ﬁrst 787 later this year. A new version of the 747 that’s planned as a cargo plane is nearly two years behind schedule.

until the end of this decade or the beginning of the next

one. To close backlogs on the 787, 747 and 737, Boeing will have to increase production “to levels that have never been seen before,” Gursky says. That will mean higher expenses. “The biggest risk is simply getting all that done,” Gursky says. Investors are also concerned about Boeing because the company’s defense and space business is vulnerable to cuts in the national budget. Half of Boeing’s revenue comes from defense and space work. “It’s going to be a pretty tough decade for the Boeing military guys,” says Barclays Capital analyst Joseph Campbell. “Investors are hopeful it will be ﬂattish and not down.”

Energy spot prices

Rising fuel prices ground airline profits Industry Spotlight

A steep increase in the cost of oil is cutting into airline margins even as they pull in higher revenues. United Continental Holdings lost $213 million in the first quarter. American Airlines lost $436 million. Southwest Airlines and JetBlue Airways eked out only small profits. THURSDAY CLOSE

COMPANY

Wholesale gasoline Average price per gallon of non-branded unleaded regular including transportation costs: 3.1990 + 0.3540 (tax) = 3.5530

Spot propane Prices for propane in cents per gallon from regional hub in Conway, Kan.: 137.50

Revenue rose for all of the airlines, but oil hurt profits. Most can withstand the impact. Airlines have raised fares at least 25 percent since the summer of 2008, the last time oil prices shot up this much. And demand from travelers is expected to stay high. Analysts expect most airlines to end the year in better shape.

Oil prices rise as the dollar weakens against euro NEW YORK (AP) — Oil rose on Thursday as the dollar weakened. Benchmark West Texas Intermediate crude added 84 cents to settle at $112.29 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. In London, Brent crude rose 14 cents to settle at

$123.99 per barrel. At one point on Thursday the dollar dropped to a 16-month low against the euro. Since oil is priced in dollars, it becomes more attractive to buyers holding foreign currency as the dollar gets weaker. The dollar has been fall-

ing as investors remain convinced the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates near zero. Lower rates make the dollar less attractive. Energy traders keep looking for signs that demand for oil and gas will increase as the global economic recovery continues.

Video Game Reviews Review: ‘Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime’ by Chase Slaton, Crispy Gamer Last month, Atari released “Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime,” a new foray into the Ghostbusters universe. If you remember, 2009 brought us “Ghostbusters: The Video Game,” a third-person shooter that placed players in the role of the Rookie, a new employee hired by the original four Ghostbusters to help out with the increased workload brought on by the return of Gozer (the bad guy/hot chick covered in bubbles from the first movie). It’s important to point out how and why “Ghostbusters: The Video Game” was as good as it was, because the new release shows that maybe it was just too darn good to follow up. The 2009 game was voiced by the original cast from the movies, and both Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis (who wrote the scripts for both movies) helped out on the game’s script. “Ghostbusters: The Video Game” managed to recapture the humor of the films without sacrificing the fun that a video game should entail. Ghosts had to be wrangled into ghost traps, and stray shots from your proton

pack would fry the furniture around you. There were a few issues such as the length of the game, lip sync bugs and the proton streams being difficult to aim at times. On the other hand, the streams were hard to aim in the movies, too, so I wasn’t too bothered. As far as the whole gaming experience went, “Ghostbusters: The Video Game” actually made you feel like a Ghostbuster. Unfortunately, playing “Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime” actually resulted in a severe gastric seizure (well, it was that or the improperly cooked pork I ate the night before). “Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime” is a top down twin stick shooter like “SmashTV,” “Zombie Apocalypse” or “Burn Zombie Burn.” However, unlike “Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime,” those games are actually playable. “Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime” takes place a number of years after the movies when the famous quartet decides that in order to deal with the surge in the ghostly population of New York, they need to hire some new recruits. This en-

sures that rather than play as whichever one happens to be your favorite Ghostbuster, you instead must choose from a generic white guy, a different generic white guy with a hat, a black scientist guy (you know he’s a scientist because he wears glasses) or some random goth girl. I’d like to say that the characters stand out in some way, but in reality they are so painfully dull that they had me actually wishing I could choose from the cast of the hated “Extreme Ghostbusters” cartoon series of the late ‘90s. The game then has you wander across generic and ugly looking levels based vaguely off of a drunk’s late night description of the plot to “Ghostbusters 2.” The story has something to do with stopping an ancient evil spirit, god or whatever named Dumazu the Destroyer, but most likely you’ll stop caring after the first level’s intro cutscene. Cutscene is a generous term, mind you. “Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime” instead tells its story through poorly drawn comic book pages complete with voice bubbles. The core gameplay is crap, which

is surprising as the developers had both “Ghostbusters: The Video Game” and thousands of better quality twin stick shooters to steal from. Ghosts float around the screen, mostly ignoring any NPC Ghostbusters, instead focusing their attacks upon whomever the player is actually controlling. When their attention is turned towards computer-controlled Ghostbusters, the ghosts tend to have an easy time of killing them as the idiots prefer squeezing together into a big, easily hit huddle. Ironically, while lumped together in an easily killable pile, your computer-run companions seem to enjoy getting between you and your targets, ensuring that while none of your fire actually hits the ghosts, the absence of a friendly fire mechanic will keep you from attaining the mild satisfaction you’d get from murdering them. Note: While the classic proton pack makes a return, ghost traps only make an appearance in boss fights. Instead of requiring players to actually trap them, this core concept of the franchise is ignored as the majority of the game’s evil specters are simply blasted away by energy beams until they dissolve. As the levels progress, new weapons are unlocked automatically. I think the weapon system for this game was designed as part of an elaborate bet among the design team, as this is the only game I’ve ever played where I actually became angry \ whenever I unlocked a new weapon. Rather than providing variety and a certain amount of tactical planning to combat, the weapons in “Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime” only make the game more frustrating. Initially, the ghosts you fight are colored red, but by the second level, yellow ghosts appear that are immune to blasts from your red proton pack. “Luckily,” that’s when the game provides you with a yellow shotgun thing that damages yellow ghosts and only yellow ghosts. A blue ricocheting rifle heralds the appearance of blue ghosts and so on.

This mechanic requires players franticly switch back and forth between weapons as rainbow hued swarms of enemies float toward them. Instead of having to choose the right weapon for the appropriate situation as in every other game on the planet, in “Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime,” you’re merely matching colors frantically. The effect is a feeling of being hassled rather than one of entertaining challenge. This is especially the case as the game punishes you harshly for wanting to temporarily cease playing. Character deaths can be healed easily by running up to the fallen companion and hitting a button repeatedly, with failure only coming when all four Ghostbusters have fallen at which point the game restarts that part of the level. But if for some strange reason, you actually want to stop playing and try to tackle a difficult area again later, then you’re out of luck, since “Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime” does not have any sort of save system. You can choose to restart any chapter you’ve completed so far, but that’s it. There’s really no excuse for this sort of thing these days. Every game has some sort of save function, even crappy Flash games you play via web browser. “Ghostbusters: The Video Game” had a clever system where the more property damage you did while trying to catch ghosts, the less you got paid at the end of a mission. “Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime,” on the other hand, rewards you for wrecking the surrounding area. This is a good thing, as the only way to find the game’s hidden collectables is by destroying chairs, lockers and tables to make them appear. Not that there’s much of a reason to, as every single hidden item is a toy Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. While each level introduces new types of ghosts, once they appear they keep coming back no matter how inappropriate. The first level brings players back to The Sedgewick Hotel where they’re

introduced to flying skulls and ghostly bellboys. Later on in the sewers of New York City, player face, swarms of rat like ghosts, giant slimy hands, and . . . ghostly bellboys. At this point, it feels as though the developers just stopped trying. All of that pales in comparison to the awfulness that is the game’s driving levels, which has players shooting from the back of the new Ecto4, which looks like the bastard child of a Humvee and a delivery truck. That’s right: The developers thought the game would be improved by turning the classic Ecto1 into a Humvee. I suppose the main reason why I hate “Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime” so much is that it is an utterly feeble knockoff that bastardizes its source material in the pursuit of a quick buck. The graphics quality is laughable and the gameplay is torturous. It’s a barely playable game the likes of which I was fairly sure we had seen the last of 10 years ago. I’d like to be able to say that there’s some sort of saving grace to the game, but aside from the fact that when launched it did not immediately crash my computer, I can’t think of anything else. I’m not a violent man, and I respect the rights of men, women and all living things. But I honestly think that “Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime” might be a good enough excuse to forcibly spay and neuter some of the game designers over at Behaviour Interactive in order to make sure that those responsible for creating this pile of dreck are never allowed to contaminate the gene pool with the evil within them. Under no circumstances should pregnant women or anybody else ever play this game. It’s not worth the $9.99 being charged for it on Steam or PSN, or the 800 Microsoft Points it costs on the Xbox LIVE Market. “Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime” is the kind of game that if bundled free with the purchase of a better game, you’d still never have the urge to install it and try it out. I say FRY IT!

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult DARIES (March 21-April 19) .....................••••

Step up to the plate. Your community, immediate circle or associates want and need your attention. Evaluate what is happening within your immediate circle. Think in terms of taking the lead on weekend plans. Tonight: A must appearance. ETAURUS (April 20-May 20) .............. •••••

Your mind travels to other lands and different people. Others keep reaching out to you with different ideas, unique feedback and perhaps a special invitation or two. Your instincts remain on target. Tonight: As you like it.

Give a 100 percent effort to get the job done. You are on top of a situation, though you might prefer to get it completed than to continue. You want more of the good times to emerge. Tonight: Put your best foot forward.

Allow an exchange that might make you uncomfortable. That characteristic in itself might not be bad. What it says is that you are breaking into unchartered territory. Tonight: Make the most of the moment. JLIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) .......................... •••

If you can take a day off or start your weekend early, do. You might enjoy the change of pace, even if you need to work a little from home. Everyone needs time off. You are no different. Tonight: Favorite spot to relax.

KSCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ............... •••••

You could be more demanding and possessive than you realize. Though a new friendship could be flowering right in front of you, know that longevity is a very important quality. There is no quick way to achieve that! Tonight: TGIF. Finally, you are beaming, and others certainly enjoy seeing you so upbeat and positive. It could be difficult to realize how important your attitude is. The door opens up between you and another. Tonight: Make it easy.

Happy birthday for Friday: This year, you let go of many long-cherished but irrelevant ideas. You will opt for only those that have a logical basis, removing many filters and rigidity. You also seem to rejuvenate not only your mental processes but also your body. You enter a dynamic luck cycle in June that will continue through this year.
