Fourt h suspect arrestedTorres believed connected with Holmes deathStaff Report

According to a report from Altus Police Chief Tim Murphy, police have arrested a fourth person in connection with the August 20th shooting death of 32-year-old Jared Allen Holmes.

An arrest warrant was issued late Wednesday afternoon for 37-year-old Melisha Ann Torres on charges of

first-degree murder and conspiracy. Torres was held at the Jackson County Jail on August 21 on charges unrelated to the homicide.

On Monday, August 21, Torres originally reported the homicide to police.

victim, Jared Allen Holmes, and that Torres knew that a robbery would take place.

U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Edward Abell, 97th Air Mobility Wing career assistance advisor, explains the importance of building a foundation of leadership early in an Airman's career Sep. 11,2017, at Altus Air Force Base, Oklahoma. Airmanship 300 takes the foundation of the First Term Airmen Course and focuses on developing Airmen as next-generational leaders rather than only in-processing.

300 course develops airmanshipFocus on next gen leadershipSpecial to the Altus Times

ALTUS AIR FORCE BASE — The First Term Airmen Course was an Air Force-wide program that allowed new Airmen a week to in-process at a new base. In 2016 it was evaluated and is now revitalized as Airmanship 300, which focuses on developing next-generation leaders.

Airmanship 300 continues from lessons learned in Airmanship 100 and 200 courses taught during Airmen’s week and technical training. The first two courses are taught in order to transition Airmen into the basic and technical

training environment. Airmanship 300 furthers the development of Airmen using the Air Force core values in the operational field.

“We are trying to tie the core values into everything we do in the new course,” said U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Edward Abell, 97th Air Mobility Wing career assistance advisor. “Those aren’t just statements that we constantly recite; we are trying to teach Airmen to integrate the core values in their everyday life because we are Airmen all the time.”

Airmanship 300 includes modules from

courses that have been attended by senior Air Force leaders. Some of the subjects include trust, loyalty, commitment, in-group behavioral psychology and team-building exercises. The training will not end with first-term airmen and are projected to continue with Airmanship 400 and 500. These courses will be taught to NCO’s and Senior NCO’s as professional enhancement courses.

The first Airmanship 300 course at Altus Air Force Base was taught in July and has received positive feedback from the new Airmen participating in the class.

“It was a helpful and friendly environment,”

said U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Jayra Martinez, 97th Force Support Squadron force management technician. “It was a great transition from the tech school environment to the operational Air Force. Talking about situations that we will face in the operational field on and off-duty truly made me feel prepared for my new environment.”

The new course has mandatory topics that are covered Air Force- wide, but there is still room for each base to discuss topics they think are valuable to first-term airmen.

By Sean MurphyAssociated Press

ADA — A small chapel nestled

on a university campus in a rural

central Oklahoma town is at the

center of a firestorm over the use

of religious symbols on public

property after a Washington,

D.C.-based group insisted that a

cross be removed from atop its

steeple.

At first, East Central Univer-

sity — a public university with

4,000 students in Ada, about 80

miles (130 kilometers) southeast

of Oklahoma City — complied

with the request from Americans

United for Separation of Church

and State, removing Bibles and

other Christian-themed items

from the colonial-style chapel

that was donated by a longtime

regent in 1957. But before the

cross could be taken down, the

matter had drawn the attention

of religious leaders as well as

Oklahoma’s Republican attorney

general, who is running for re-

election next year.

Now the university is letting

Attorney General Mike Hunter

handle the matter while it waits

to find out whether Americans

United for Separation of Church

and State will sue.

While some conservatives see

the letter that Americans United

sent this summer as an effort by

out-of-state atheists to impose

their values on the Bible Belt, the

group says it took action after

someone in the community raised

concerns and that it’s just asking

the university to follow the law.

“The display of a Latin cross

on government property violates

basic Establishment Clause

rules,” the letter from Americans

United states, referring to the

First Amendment of the U.S.

Constitution, which prohibits

governmental entities from

endorsing a religion. “Please

remove or cover the religious dis-

plays and items.”

Many students, however, said

the chapel should remain as is.

“We’re in the Bible Belt of

America, and this is a Christian-

background community,” said

20-year-old Caleb Watson, a

sophomore from the nearby com-

munity of Tupelo. “You can go

to another country and they’re

going to express their religious

values and expect you to assimi-

late.”

It’s not the first time religious

artifacts at a public university

in the U.S. have sparked con-

troversy. The president of the

College of William and Mary in

Virginia put one of the nation’s

oldest schools at the center of

the church-state debate when he

ordered a cross removed from

its historic chapel in 2006 in an

attempt to make the chapel more

welcoming to students of all

faith. After a public backlash, the

cross was returned and placed in

a glass case.

Still, Alex Luchenitser, an

attorney for Americans United,

said the case is unusual.

“We’ve received complaints

involving public schools display-

ing religious items on school

property, and we’ve written

complaint letters, but often the

religious items were removed

without having to go to court,”

said Luchenitser, adding that his

group is still deciding whether

to sue.

After a local pastor and found-

er of a Christian radio network

jumped into the fray, the univer-

sity heard from people across

the country, said East Central

spokesman Brian Johnson.

In a video posted live on social

media, pastor Randall Christy

of Union Valley Baptist Church,

said, “They’re about to cut that

cross off the top of that steeple.

They’re about to bring a crane in

and literally cut it off, and we’re

not real happy about this.”

That’s when Hunter stepped in

and accused Americans United

for Separation of Church and

State — which he called “an out-

of-state interest group” — of try-

ing to “bully the university and

the state of Oklahoma.”

“We absolutely reject the

demand to remove the cross or

other religious material or icons

in the church,” he said.

The university now refers ques-

tions about the chapel to Hunter,

who has promised to defend the

university in court if necessary.

But legal experts say religious

monuments on government prop-

erty clearly raise constitutional

concerns that the government is

endorsing a particular faith. Just

last year, Oklahoma’s highest

court ordered a granite monu-

ment of the Ten Commandments

be removed from the Capitol.

“The constitutionality of the

chapel with its cross and Chris-

tian iconography, ironically,

depends on whether those sym-

bols have retained their religious

meaning, which would make

them more suspect, or whether

they now come across as more

historical or artistic than holy,”

said University of Oklahoma law

professor Joseph Thai. “Contro-

versies such as this one over reli-

gious monuments and symbols

on public property have spawned

litigation across the country,

with wins and losses on both

sides, stirring up the very kind of

religious divisions that the First

Amendment was adopted in part

to prevent.”

Police search for driver in hit-and-run with pedestrian

The Associated Press

OKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma officials say a Thailand native whose body was found along the side of a state highway in July died from a metham-phetamine overdose.

The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation reported Friday that 41-year-old Thanakrit Thue-tong died from acute methamphetamine toxicity. The manner of death was ruled accidental.

Thuetong’s body was found in July along the side of a highway in Seminole County, less than a mile from Interstate 40. Investigators believe Thuetong had been living in Florida and was driving along I-40 to visit relatives in California.

OSBI agents have said Thuetong parked his car in the parking lot of a Seminole County convenience store. Surveillance video showed him inside the store with a black backpack, then walking past his car and along the highway.

Airman works, we make sure they know how they tie into getting aircraft into the air,” said Abell. “It is valuable to know the mission and history of the base so we know where we went in order to know where we are going.”

The new course for first-term airmen takes the fundamentals of the original course and offers it in a way that the Air-men can use to improve themselves.

“People often ask,

‘How do you teach pro-fessional development when they are brand new and there is nothing really to develop?’” said Abell. “I would have to disagree with that state-ment because it’s never too early to start sharpen-ing young minds.”

Improving the way the Air Force uses the time of first-term airmen ulti-mately assists with the process of accomplish-ing the mission. In the end, having this course allows the opportunity to further develop the next generation of Air Force leaders.

Trooper, driver shoot at each other during Oklahoma pursuit

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A police pursuit in Oklahoma City that included a rolling gun bat-tle between the fleeing driver and a state trooper ended when the driver crashed his pickup.

Oklahoma Highway Patrol Capt. Paul Tim-mons says the chase began about 2:50 a.m. Thursday when an officer tried to stop the truck for driving with a flat tire.

Timmons says the driver refused to stop and fired at the pursuing officer. He says a state trooper then joined the pursuit, and was also fired on by the driver. The trooper returned fire, striking the driver in the shoulder.

Authorities say the driver was hospitalized in good condition and a female passenger was hos-pitalized in critical condition.

No names have been released.

Man in hit-and-runs-targeting homeless pleads not guilty

TULSA (AP) — A 40-year-old Oklahoma man has pleaded not guilty in connection with two hit-and-run crashes that authorities believe tar-geted homeless people in Tulsa.

A judge entered the plea Wednesday on behalf of Jeremy Dean Thacker, who’s charged in the Sept. 4 death of one man and five counts of assault and battery with a deadly or dangerous weapon.

Thacker is accused of killing 46-year-old Shawn Birdo by intentionally running over him and two others as they slept under an interstate.

Hours later, a homeless woman was hospital-ized after her legs were run over in a separate crash, and police believe Thacker swerved to hit the woman, who was sitting on a curb.

The Tulsa World reports that investigators are unsure of Thacker’s motives.

He’s due back in court on Nov. 16.

Oklahoma sports agent pleads guilty to federal tax charges

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — An Oklahoma sports marketing agent has pleaded guilty to mak-ing false statements on federal tax returns for a foundation established by a former star defensive lineman for the University of Oklahoma.

Federal prosecutors say 58-year-old William G. Horn of Edmond pleaded guilty on Wednesday to making false statements on federal tax returns for The Tommie Harris Foundation in 2011 and 2012.

Authorities say Horn allegedly diverted $136,620 to personal bank accounts and made $39,205 in personal purchases with a founda-tion credit card in 2011. In 2012, he allegedly diverted $129,451 and made $41,125 in personal purchases.

Harris won the 2003 Lombardi Award as the nation’s top college lineman and went on to play in the NFL for the Chicago Bears and San Diego Chargers as well as three Pro Bowls.

Confessed Oklahoma killer wants to invalidate plea agreement

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The Oklahoma Court of Civil Appeals says Oklahoma County District Court must allow a confessed killer an opportunity to respond to a motion to dismiss his lawsuit seeking to overturn his plea agreement.

The court on Wednesday reversed the dismissal of Stephen Craig Burnett’s lawsuit seeking to invalidate a 1994 plea agreement in which he was sentenced to life with the possibility of parole for killing his estranged wife in Tulsa. Burnett alleges changes in parole and pardon rules since 1994 is a breach of the agreement.

The district court ruled it doesn’t have jurisdic-tion. The appeals court noted the ruling came on the same day a motion from the state to dismiss the case was received and said Burnett must be given 20 days to respond to that motion.

300 bats caught by janitors at Salt Lake City high school

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A bat infestation prompted a Salt Lake City high school to cancel its after-school programs so school workers could root out the flying mammals.

Janitors at the city’s West High School rounded up more than 300 bats from Monday through Wednesday, prompting the school to close its doors Wednesday afternoon.

Some flying bats were caught in midflight by janitors using butterfly nets. Others were found sleeping in classroom corners.

Salt Lake City School District spokesman Jason Olsen says the high school lies in a migratory bat path. But the number of bats this year was above average.

Students who may have come into contact with the bats were encouraged to speak with Salt Lake County Health Department personnel who were at the school on Wednesday.

The captured bats were relocated.

Pennsylvania high school golfer has 2 holes-in-one in round

ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania high school golfer has defied huge odds by recording

two holes-in-one in the same round.Parkland High School golfer Ben Tetzlaff tells

The (Allentown) Morning Call he still can’t believe the feat, which came during a nine-hole practice round Monday at Iron Lakes Country Club.

The National Hold-In-One Registry calculated the odds of the feat at 67 million-to-1.

Parkland coach Scott Levan says he missed the first ace, but saw the second when Tetzlaff hit a 9-iron on the 140-yard sixth hole. Tetzlaff had already sunk a gap wedge on the 104-yard second hole.

Tetzlaff ’s career-low round is a 76 he shot at Allentown Municipal Golf Course. He hopes to play golf in college.

Tetzlaff says, “I still can’t believe it and I’m the one who did it.”

Council member gives opponent ABC (already been chewed) gum

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A Minneapolis City Council member has given one of her opponents something to chew over — a piece of chewed gum.

Twenty-year incumbent Lisa Goodman took the gum out of her mouth and handed it to challenger Teqen Zea-Aida before the start of a candidate forum Tuesday.

Goodman asked Zea-Aida: “Would you take my gum, please?”

Goodman tells the Star Tribune she couldn’t find any paper to get rid of her gum and was just mak-ing a lighthearted comment. Zea-Aida wondered if Goodman was hinting he had bad breath and thought she was offering him gum.

Goodman says the challenger “looked at me like I was crazy,” and she took the gum back out of his hand. The council member says it was “a simple attempt at humor” and apologized.

Better late than never? Library book returned 78 years later

ATTLEBORO, Mass. (AP) — It took nearly 80 years, but a book borrowed during the Great Depression has been returned to a Massachusetts public library.

The Attleboro Public Library posted on its Face-book page Thursday pictures of a copy of “The Young Lady at Home,” by T.S. Arthur. The book was returned this week. The due date stamped at the back of the book? Nov. 21, 1938.

Library deputy director Amy Rhilinger tells WPRI-TV a man had been cleaning out his friend’s basement when he came across the book. She says the library staff thought it was “awesome” the book was returned even though it’s in terrible con-dition and can’t go back into circulation.

Rhilinger says the library isn’t trying to collect late fees, either. She says they’d amount to almost $2,800.

You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you. - John Bunyan

One of the supreme ironies of human nature is the

fact that being overly concerned about our own

happiness usually diminishes it, while working

diligently to improve the welfare of others usually adds to

our own happiness. And, while it is true that we should be

the primary caretakers of our own welfare, and should tend

to our own health, education and well-being with care, it

is still the case that being overly concerned with our own

happiness almost always interferes with it. Happiness is

usually a byproduct of other activities. Perform your work

well and you’ll probably feel good about it. Cultivating your

relationships with family and friends pays big dividends

in terms of our happiness. Limit your desires for material

things. Greed and envy are preventable obstacles to

happiness; money and material things are a very fleeting

source of satisfaction. So, do what you can to help others,

and do it with a pure heart, seeking only the good of the

other and not your own. - Christopher Simon

Don’t Worry About Your Own Happiness

Staff Report

The Tillman County Health Department announced today its seasonal influenza vaccination clinic schedule for the upcoming flu season. Clinics will begin Oct. 2.

The Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) and Tillman County Health Department recommend flu vaccination every year for everyone six months of age and older. The more people vac-cinated, the less the chance that flu will spread in families and communities.

Each year in the United States, flu causes millions of illnesses, hundreds of thousands of hospitaliza-tions and thousands of deaths. The flu vaccine is the best defense against getting the flu. Flu season usually starts in September or October and runs through April or May.

“It takes about two weeks after vaccination to become fully protected so it is important for every-one in your family to be vaccinated as soon as possible,” administrative director for the Tillman

County Health Department Cara Gluck said. “Pro-tection from the flu vaccine lasts about six months, so people vaccinated in October should be protected through April of next year.”

Immunization is the safest and best way to protect people at high risk from the flu such as pregnant women, children and people with chronic heart and lung diseases. In addition to getting a flu vaccina-tion, people 65 and older, and those with chronic health conditions, should ask their doctor about being vaccinated against pneumococcal pneumonia. Pneumococcal pneumonia is a common and poten-tially serious complication of the flu. Unlike the influenza vaccine, the pneumococcal vaccine does not need to be given every year.

The flu mist will not be available as it is no longer recommended by the CDC.

The Tillman County Health Department will be providing flu vaccine using the following fee sched-ule:

- There will be no charge for families whose income is less than 185 percent of the federal pov-

erty level. However, those with health insurance should bring their card. The insurance company will be billed for the vaccine and an administration fee.

- There will be no charge for adults 65 years of age and older. These adults should bring their Medicare Card or other health insurance card.

- There is no charge for children 18 years of age and younger who have no health insurance, whose health insurance does not cover flu vaccine, who are eligible for SoonerCare, or who are Native American or Alaskan natives.

- All others will be charged a fee of $25 to cover the cost of the flu vaccine and the cost of administer-ing the vaccine.

Clinic days and times are 8 – 11 a.m. and 1 – 4 p.m. Monday – Friday beginning October 2, 2017.

The Tillman County Health Department will accept SoonerCare, Medicare, all private health insurance, cash, checks, or credit cards as payment for flu vaccine. For more information about flu clin-ics at the Tillman County Health Department, call 580-335-2163.

Tillman County Health Department schedules flu vaccine clinics

By Ken MillerAssociated Press

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma City police officers who opened fire on a man in front of his home as he approached them hold-ing a metal pipe didn’t hear witnesses yelling that he was deaf, a department official said Wednesday.

Magdiel Sanchez, 35, wasn’t obeying the officers’ commands before one shot him with a gun and the other with a Taser on Tuesday night, police Capt. Bo Mathews said at a news conference. He said witnesses were yelling “he can’t hear you” before the officers fired, but they didn’t hear them.

“In those situations, very volatile situations, you have a weapon out, you can get what they call tunnel vision, or you can really lock in to just the per-son that has the weapon that’d be the threat against you,” Mathews said. “I don’t know exactly what the officers were thinking at that point.”

Sanchez, who had no appar-ent criminal history, died at the scene. The officer who fired the gun, Sgt. Chris Barnes, has been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation.

Mathews said the officers were investigating a reported hit-and-run at around 8:15 p.m. Tuesday. He said a wit-ness told Lt. Matthew Lindsey the address where the vehicle responsible for the hit-and-run had gone, and that Sanchez was on the porch when Lindsey arrived.

He said Sanchez was holding a metal pipe that was approxi-mately two feet (0.6 meters) long and that had a leather

loop on one end for wrapping around one’s wrist. Lindsey called for backup and Barnes arrived, at which point Sanchez left the porch and began to approach the officers, Mathews said.

Witnesses could hear the offi-cers giving Sanchez commands, but the officers didn’t hear the witnesses yelling that Sanchez couldn’t hear them, Mathews said. When he was about 15 feet (4.5 meters) away from the officers, they opened fire — Lindsey with his Taser and Barnes with his gun, apparently simultaneously, Mathews said.

He said he didn’t know how many shots were fired, but that it was more than one.

When asked why Barnes used a gun instead of a Taser, Mathews said he didn’t know. He said it’s possible Barnes wasn’t equipped with a Taser. Neither officer had a body camera.

Sanchez’s father, who was driving the hit-and-run vehicle, confirmed after the shooting that his son was deaf, Mathews said. He said Sanchez wasn’t in the vehicle when his father struck something and drove off. It wasn’t a person that he struck.

A man who saw Oklahoma City police officers open fire on Sanchez says his neighbor was developmentally disabled and also didn’t speak.

Neighbor Julio Rayos told The Oklahoman on Wednesday that in addition to being deaf, Sanchez was developmentally disabled and didn’t speak, com-municating mainly through hand movements. Rayos said he believes Sanchez became frustrated trying to tell the offi-cers what was going on.

“The guy does movements,” Rayos told the newspaper. “He don’t speak, he don’t hear, mainly it is hand movements. That’s how he communicates. I believe he was frustrated try-ing to tell them what was going on.”

Jolie Guebara, who lives two houses from the shooting scene, told The Associated Press that she heard five or six gunshots before she looked outside and saw the police.

“He always had a stick that he would walk around with, because there’s a lot of stray dogs,” Guebara said.

Guebara said Sanchez, whose name she didn’t know, wrote notes to communicate with her and her husband when he would occasionally stop and visit if they were outside.

Police initially said San-chez was carrying a stick, but Mathews described it Wednes-day as a metal pipe.

Sanchez’s death is the lat-est in a string of controversial killings by Oklahoma police in recent years. In 2015, a white Tulsa County reserve deputy fatally shot an unarmed black man who was on the ground being subdued. He said he meant to shoot the suspect with a stun gun but mistakenly used his firearm instead. He was sen-tenced to four years in prison.

In May, a white former Tulsa police officer, Betty Shelby, was acquitted in the 2016 killing of Terence Crutcher, an unarmed black man who had his hands up when she fired. Much like in the Sanchez killing, another officer almost simultaneously fired a Taser at Crutcher when Shelby fired her gun. Unlike Sanchez’s killing, both Tulsa killings were captured on video.

Witnesses yell ‘he can’t hear you’ as cop shoots deaf man


NORMAN — University of Oklahoma President David Boren, a former Democratic governor and U.S. senator, said Wednesday he will resign as head of the state’s flagship university at the end of the current school year.

Boren said he will step down on June 30 but that he has agreed to stay longer if a successor has not been selected by that time. He made the announcement during an address before a standing-room-only crowd of several hundred students, faculty and staff inside OU’s performing arts center.

“Our faculty has never been stronger. Our students have never had more potential,” Boren said. “I’ve always understood there would come a time when I would pass a baton to a new president. I believe the right time has come.”

The search to replace Boren will be conducted by the OU Board of Regents, which is cur-rently led by Clay Bennett, owner of the Oklahoma City Thunder NBA team.

“It’s solely the job of the regents,” Boren said. “If they ask me for my advice, I’d say lean toward someone who loves the university.”

Boren, 76, has served as OU’s president since 1994, when he stepped down from his U.S. Sen-ate post to accept the position as the school’s 13th president. He has taught a freshman-level politi-cal science course every year and has taken particular pride in his dedication to students and foster-ing a sense of community on the campus.

“It was always a challenge to walk across campus if you were trying to get to an event because

he … would stop to visit with people, whether it was the garden-ers and landscapers, a custodian, a student or a prospective student and their parents,” recalled Jeff Hickman, who was an undergrad-uate student at OU in 1994 when he served on the presidential search committee that selected Boren and later spent three years as Boren’s press secretary.

Boren’s tenure at OU has been marked with a furious pace for private fundraising and an explo-sion of construction across the university’s three campuses in Norman, Oklahoma City and Tulsa. His first fundraising cam-paign set a five-year goal of $200 million and ended up exceeding $500 million in donations, launch-ing the university’s endowment into the upper echelon of public universities.

The university boasts of more than $2 billion in construction projects completed or under way since he took office, including a $67 million National Weather Center, a natural history museum and major upgrades to its football stadium.

A graduate of Yale University, Boren was a Rhodes Scholar who earned a master’s degree from Oxford University and a law degree from the University of Oklahoma. He was elected gover-nor in 1974 at the age 33 and at the time was the youngest gover-nor in the country.

Boren was hospitalized for about a week in March after undergoing heart bypass surgery.

“I’ve just had the normal decline of energy that anyone who is com-ing up on 77 has, but my bypass surgery was a complete success, and particularly in the last few months … I have felt much stron-ger and much more like myself,” Boren said.

Dear Heloise: I am a United States veteran. Having lost one leg and a hand while serv-ing my country, I have a SERVICE DOG, Chip, who helps me and who I couldn’t get along without. People in my little hometown understand that my dog has to go where I go, but on planes, in airports, in businesses and doc-tor’s offices, I get some ugly stares or comments because of my dog. One woman tried to kick my dog while I was waiting to board a plane last week. People need to under-stand that service dogs are there to help someone and are greatly appreci-ated by veterans. They’re not dangerous, and legally we have the right to take them with us wherever we go. My dog is well-behaved, always clean, always on a leash and well-fed. He’s my buddy and my friend, and where I go, Chip goes, too. -- John G., United States veteran, via email

Send a great hthanks in any language

Dear Heloise: My husband and I travel a lot, and we really enjoy differ-ent cultures. In fact, we try to learn some of the language before we visit a place, and some of the local customs. So often, what is OK in America may be offensive in a for-eign place, such as certain gestures. But we make a point of learning to say “thank you” and “please”

in the language of the country. We also look for what is unique to that country, which is the point of travel-ing to different places. -- Jean K., Joplin, Mo.

Jean, these are very good ideas. It’s the differences

and novelty of a place that make it exciting and educational. Happy trails! -- Heloise

Avoid the tangleDear Heloise: I have

discovered that stringing an open chain of a neck-lace through a straw and then hooking the necklace together is a foolproof way to arrive with an untangled necklace when traveling. This keeps those delicate chains from becoming knotted and eventually ruined. -- Susan M., Monroe, La.

You are learning to trust yourself. You feel as if you are less likely to challenge others. If you are single, increased popularity charges your love life.

A lot of your energy is scattered around a financial matter. A partner might have difficulty handling everything on his or her plate. A boss could shock you with his or her change of tune. Remain as easygoing as possible. Tonight: The intensity between you and a friend grows.TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You have a tendency to let others run with the ball. A friendship starts blossoming because of the frequency of your interactions. Your thoughts seem to be on a day-to-day

matter, perhaps one that’s affecting your health. Could you be looking at a diet? Tonight: Dance the night away.GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Allow more playfulness into your day, but only after you’ve completed several tasks. You often act in unexpected ways. Encourage positive interactions with a loved one. The flow between you remains significant to your ability to relate well. Tonight: Say “yes” to an exciting offer.CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You might want to deal with a matter that seems to affect your daily life. Allow greater give-and-take between you and someone who often runs into you or works with you. Keep a personal discussion light, especially if you want to resolve an issue. Tonight: Order in.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

You might want to make a change that

will make you feel better about yourself. You could be shocked by a partner’s decision. Your sense of direction is likely to be mimicked by someone who often admires your upbeat attitude and presentation. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.”LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Stay on top of what needs to happen without pushing yourself too hard. You might want to ask a friend or loved one to pitch in. Stay more in tune with what you need and desire.

friendship. Tonight: Hang out at home.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Understand that others are observing you and your performance. You might not like an element of the unexpected that surrounds your personal life. Recognize that you cannot fight this trend. Choose to go with the flow more often. Tonight: All eyes turn toward you.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Someone might be counting on your goodwill. Don’t let yourself be pressured into doing anything that makes you feel uncomfortable. Detach from this interaction, if necessary.

HOROSCOPE

Dear Annie: I would like your opinion on a recent incident that happened to me. I went to my son’s house to go out to dinner with him and his family to celebrate his birthday. When I arrived, the only person there was my granddaughter. My son was meeting us at the res-taurant, and my daughter-in-law, “Jean,” had been called into work but intended to be back at the house shortly. She still hadn’t returned by the time my granddaughter and I had to head to the restaurant, and I noticed a pot of soup boiling on the stove. I thought Jean had forgotten to turn

the burner off, so I turned it off.

Well, I was wrong. We all happened to return later at about the same time, and when Jean noticed the burn-er was off, she asked, “Who turned the stove off?” I told her I had. She looked very upset and said, “The soup was supposed to cook for 12 hours.” I said, “Well, it is better to be safe than sorry.”

Later, I asked my son whether Jean was still upset with me, and he said she had not been upset with me. He then said I should not have turned the burner off, that “it was her stove.” I told him I was

concerned the house might catch on fire, and he said that the house is her house and that if it had caught on fire, it would have been her concern. I do not like family discord, and I don’t usually insert myself into their affairs, but I think that was a foolish thing to do and I acted appropriately by turning the stove off. What say you? -- Safety First

Dear Safety First: It’s unsafe to leave a stove burning unattended. Wait for things to simmer down before letting your son know about the fire safety issue.

Better to be safe now than sorry later

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — At least two people knew about child pornography on former Republican state Sen. Ralph Shortey’s computer at the Oklahoma Capitol, but failed to disclose that information to authorities until years later after police reportedly found Shortey in a motel room with a 17-year-old boy, according to newly released court records.

The application for a search warrant unsealed last week in U.S. District Court in Oklahoma City shows a worker on Shortey’s campaign three years ago “inadvertently observed child pornography contained in a folder on Shortey’s computer in the Capitol building.” The campaign aide reported that finding to an individual who didn’t come for-

ward until it was revealed that Shortey was under investigation for an incident with the teenager in a motel room in the Oklahoma City suburb of Moore.

Neither person was identified in the appli-cation, which was used to obtain a warrant to search Shortey’s computer and office at the state Capitol. Court documents show the FBI seized a CD-ROM and a memory card from Shortey’s office.

It’s not clear whether either the campaign aide or the person the aide told could face criminal charges.

“I don’t really have an answer for you,” said Assistant U.S. Attorney Scott Williams, chief of the criminal division of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Oklahoma.

Federal law requires a person with knowl-edge of the commission of a felony to report

that information to authorities, but that law “requires some act of concealment on the part of the defendant,” Williams said.

A similar Oklahoma law applies only to commercial film or photo print processors or computer technicians who discover child pornography in the course of their employ-ment.

“It doesn’t sound like that would be crimi-nal, although it’s immoral that they didn’t report it,” said Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prater. “For the life of me, I’m not exactly sure why someone wouldn’t report that.”

Shortey, a married father of four who resigned in March, has been charged in fed-eral court with child sex trafficking and pro-ducing and transporting child pornography, and has pleaded not guilty. If convicted, he faces up to life in prison.

Records: 2 knew about porn on Oklahoma lawmaker’s computer

SportsAn NBA first with coachesBy Tim ReynoldsAP Basketball Writer

MIAMI — Dozens of NBA players found new homes this offseason. A few front offices dealt with hirings and firings. There’s a new arena in Detroit and an owner-ship change looms in Houston. The league’s logo was even tweaked.

Change was every-where.

That is, except the coaches’ offices.

Here’s a first for the NBA: Every coach is back. From the start of last season to the start of this season — barring something happening in training camps, any-way — not a single NBA team has changed coach-es. That’s an unprec-edented run of retention and an obvious source of pride for coaches across the league as the first practices of the season get set to occur this

weekend.“I think what people

are seeing is what this league needs, what these players need more than anything, is stability and a consistent message,” said Miami coach Erik Spoelstra, who’s going into his 10th season. “Otherwise we’re just losing ground if you have to start all over every year. That’s a tough way to win in this business. That’s a tough way to

build any sort of culture or consistency.”

No one is starting over in the next few days, at least in the sense that a new staff is taking over a team.

Last season was the

first since 1963-64 —

and only the fourth in

league history — where

there were no in-season

changes. The league

was much smaller back

ExperiencedOSU o-linedoing the jobBy Cliff BruntAP Sports Writer

Oklahoma State’s high-flying offense is among the nation’s best, and the guys up front have been a big part of its success.

The sixth-ranked Cowboys rank third nationally in total offense with 607 yards per game and fourth nationally with 54 points per contest heading into Satur-day’s Big 12 opener at home against TCU.

Quarterback Mason Rudolph has emerged as a Heisman Trophy contender and James Washington (367 yards, three touch-downs) is one of the nation’s top receiv-ers, in part because the line has given them time to connect. Rudolph is among the nation’s leaders in passing efficiency, and he’s only been sacked three times in three games. Last week, he passed for 497 yards and five touchdowns in a 59-21 win at Pitts-burgh .

“As an offensive lineman, that’s always your mentality is that no one’s going to touch your quar-terback,” center Brad

Lundblade said. “We know that if we give him time that we have plenty of guys that can make plays.”

Tackle Zach Crab-tree, a senior, was a preseason first-team All-Big 12 choice. He leads the team with 37 career starts, includ-ing 32 straight. Lun-dblade started every game the past two seasons and has made 27 straight in all. Guards Marcus Keyes and Larry Williams entered the year with starting experience and transfer Aaron Cochran, a left tackle, started 16 games at Cal.

“Having that experi-ence is huge, espe-cially at a position like offensive line,” Lund-blade said. “A lot of it is about camaraderie and being able to trust one another and hav-ing that continuity and trust along the entire offensive line.”

TCU coach Gary Patterson said the Cowboys play a physi-cal brand of football.

“You’ve got a great nucleus of people,” Patterson said. “They lost a couple of offen-sive linemen, but

Top Big TwelveQBs guidingteams to the topBy Dave SkrettaAP Sports Writer

LAWRENCE, Kan. — Baker Mayfield was relax-ing in his hotel room in Norman last week, waiting for the bus to head to the stadium for Oklahoma’s game against Tulane, when he flipped on the televi-sion.

Naturally, he wanted to see how Big 12 rival Oklahoma State was faring.

Turns out pretty well.The Sooners’ star quarterback watched

enthralled as his Cowboys counterpart, Mason Rudolph, torched Pittsburgh for 497 yards and five touchdowns through the air in a 59-21 rout. It was a third straight impressive performance for Rudolph, who has quickly climbed among the leaders in just about every passing category nation-wide: yards passing, touchdown passes, quarter-back efficiency.

“Their offense is very talented and guys are mak-ing competitive catches for him,” Mayfield said. “He’s doing a great job of getting the ball in their hands.”

Later that day, Mayfield threw for a mere 331 yards and four TDs in a 56-14 rout of Tulane.

The performances by the two gunslingers were perhaps the best example yet of just how strong the Big 12 is when it comes to quarterbacks. Throw in Nic Shimonek at pass-happy Texas Tech, Will Grier at equally explosive West Virginia and Peyton Bender at Kansas, and you have five of the nation’s top 11 players in yards passing per game.

Now, the Big 12 has been known as an air-it-out league for years. Texas Tech began slinging it all over the schoolyard under Mike Leach and never stopped, while Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and oth-ers have installed their own version of the spread offense.

But there seemed to be a trend last year in the other direction. The league boasted some of the nations’ top running backs, such as the Sooners’ Joe Mixon and Samaje Perine, and a relatively simple question was floated: Have defenses finally figured out the spread?

The answer to that, at least so far this season, is

Courtesy photoThe Altus Junior High Lady Dawgs fastpitch softball team won two straight to start the Elk City tournament before falling to Elk City in the championship game. The team finished as runners-up in the tournament.

Lady Dawgs finish secondBy Ryan [email protected]

It has been a season of ups and downs for the Altus Junior High Lady Dawgs (8-12-1) fastpitch softball team but even when things have gone wrong, the Lady Dawgs have battled until the final pitch for a chance to win the game.

Coming off a four-game skid, the Lady Dawgs entered the Elk City fastpitch tourna-ment determined to turn things around and that is exactly what they

did when they finished the tournament as the runners-up.

For the first game of the tournament, the Lady Dawgs took on Sentinel in a game that saw them jump out to a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first on an error by Sentinel that allowed Madison McKee to sprint home for the run.

But Sentinel battled back and scored two runs of their own in the top of the second thanks to two errors from the Lady Dawgs to start off the half-inning.

Down by one, the Lady Dawgs rallied in the bot-tom half of the inning when Pamela McKee got the Lady Dawgs rolling with an inside the park home run on a line drive to left field to tie the game.

Despite a groundout by Anahi Gutierrez and a fly out from Breanna Dayton, Maddex Carroll singled to the shortstop and Destiny Jackson doubled on a line drive to left field to put two in scoring position for the Lady Dawgs.

Chloe Hill crushed

a triple to left field to score both Carroll and Jackson and M. McKee singled to bring home Hill and give the Lady Dawgs a 5-2 advantage.

Bailey Pence added a single and M. McKee scored on an error to make the score 6-2 before Addison Stults struck out to end the inning.

Both teams went on to score two more runs apiece but the Lady Dawgs earned the 8-4 victory to move on to

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — What many expected to be a typical Thursday night snoozer between a couple of teams lack-ing star power turned into quite a thriller.

With Jared Goff and Todd

Gurley leading a resurgent Rams offense, Brian Hoyer spark-ing what had been a dormant San Francisco attack and a few late special teams blunders that almost produced an epic comeback, the 41-39 win for Los Angeles over the 49ers was exciting to watch and exhausting for those involved.

“That takes a toll on you,” Rams coach Sean McVay said. “Just getting ready on a short week, and then that emotional up-and-down right there certain-ly wears you out. I know that I’ll sleep very well tonight.”

With the short week to recover

Rams hold off 49ers 41-39 in rare thriller

By Dave SkrettaAP Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Alex

Smith saw the Chiefs move up

in the first round of April’s draft

to select Patrick Mahomes II,

and he was keenly aware the

organization viewed the young

gunslinger out of Texas Tech as

the man who’d eventually take

his job.

So far, the veteran quarter-

back is forcing the Chiefs to

reconsider their plans.

Smith has had one of the best

back-to-back performances of

his 13-year career in a 42-27

victory over New England and

last week’s 27-20 win over Phila-

delphia.

He’s thrown five touchdown

passes without an interception,

his rating of 134.1 is better than

any other quarterback that’s

started two games, and just about every statisti-cal number you could imagine is at a career-best level.

His yards-per-attempt of 9.8 is nearly 2 bet-ter than his best. His yards-per-game of 309.5 is about 110 more than his career average.

He’s on pace for 40 touchdown passes, nearly double the career-high 23 TD throws during his first season in Kansas City.

Evidently, having an heir apparent in the same room appeals to him.

“Oh, for sure,” Smith said this week. “I’ve said before, the reality is whether or not we drafted Pat, I still had to make that decision for them anyway. You either hold up your end or you don’t. If you don’t, you’re not going to be around. Each club is going to go find somebody.

“It’s easy to get caught up in that,” Smith con-tinued, “but really the situation hasn’t changed. That’s the reality of it when you are this far along in your career. You have to prove yourself.”

Especially when you’re a 33-year-old quar-terback who has never reached a Super Bowl, who lost his job once in San Francisco and has a contract that carries a large salary cap hit next season.

Ultimately, it is finances that might force the Chiefs’ hand. Smith would count $20.6 million against the cap in 2018, while he would cost a mere $3.6 million in dead money to let go.

“Alex knows, he’s not getting any younger in this business. So you always want to stay up on that position, whether he plays today or he plays five years from now, 10 years from now,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. “You want to make sure that position is solid at this level.”

So when the chance to draft a potential fran-chise quarterback presents itself, you take the gamble with the hopes that it also lights a fire under your incumbent quarterback.

an unequivocal “No.”The Red Raiders once again

lead the nation in total offense, thanks mostly to the 496 yards per game they average through the air. Oklahoma State is third and Oklahoma is fourth, and both sit squarely alongside West Vir-ginia among the nation’s top 10 passing attacks.

“That’s the Big 12,” said TCU coach Gary Patterson, whose No. 16 Horned Frogs face Rudolph and sixth-ranked Oklahoma State in the league’s marquee game this weekend.

“We’ve got to prepare on all levels,” Patterson said. “They’re a very good offense right now. We’ve got several coming down

the pipe. They’re the first.”Yep, the Mountaineers are next.

Oklahoma and Texas Tech come back-to-back for the Horned Frogs later in the season. And that’s one more reason for Big 12 coaches to have heartburn: The league’s round-robin schedule means that everybody faces everyone else at least once.

There’s no lucking out and missing Rudolph. Or Mayfield. Or anybody else.

There are other quarterbacks tearing things up, too. The Horned Frogs’ Kenny Hill ranks among the nation’s top 15 in pass-ing efficiency, while Iowa State’s Jacob Park averages 311.7 yards through the air per game, putting him among six Big 12 players in the top 20 nationally.

Shimonek leads the way at 463.5 yards per game.

“Yeah, things have gone smooth

so far,” the Texas Tech quarter-back said, “but I also understand that at some point there’s going to be a few hiccups, a few bumps in the road. It’s not going to be like this for 12 straight games. I mean, I hope it is, but I don’t think it will be.”

Indeed, some of those numbers are inflated thanks to weak out-of-conference competition. The Cow-boys have faced Tulsa, South Ala-bama and Pitt, Texas Tech blew out lower-level Eastern Washing-ton, and while the Sooners won a big-time showdown with Ohio State, they also beat up on UTEP and the Green Wave before head-ing into the conference schedule.

Things are bound to get tough-er for the Big 12’s best quarter-backs.

Then again, they’re about to make life a whole lot tougher on the Big 12’s best defenses, too.

picked up a Cal transfer that’s starting at left tackle for them. Center’s smart. You’re not going to go fool them very often. You’ve got to go play.”

Oklahoma State established its running game well enough in wins over Tulsa and South Ala-bama that Pitt tried to focus on stopping the ground game. The Cowboys were held to 104 yards on 35 carries, but they passed for 572 yards and five touchdowns.

“Whenever they take something away the other people have to step up and make plays and that’s what we did, and the O-line — they did a great job blocking for Mason,” said receiver Jalen McCleskey, who caught seven passes for 162 yards and three touchdowns against Pittsburgh. “Mason made great throws, the receivers ran great routes, and the coaching staff, they did a great job of putting the plays in and helping us succeed.”

The Cowboys want to continue rolling against TCU. The Horned Frogs rank 15th nationally in total defense, allowing just 265 yards per game.

“We’re always out to send a message no matter who we’re playing,” Lundblade said. “Our goal was to dominate and that’s what we came out to do and we were able to do that against Pitt, and that’s our goal every single week.”

the semifinals against Wood-ward.

Against Woodward, the Lady Dawgs grabbed an early 2-0 lead before Wood-ward erupted for nine runs in the bottom half of the first to take a commanding 9-2 lead into the second inning.

Woodward scored one more in the bottom half of the second but the Lady Dawgs rallied with 12 runs of their own in the top of the third on excellent hitting to regain control of the game.

The Lady Dawgs went on to win the game by a final score of 14-11.

Stults finished the game 2-for-2 with three runs scored and four RBIs on a double and a triple and M. McKee added two runs and two RBIs in a 1-for-2 performance.

The win put them in the championship game against Elk City and despite having the momentum, the Lady Dawgs struggled at the plate with Janae Nash, Kenzie Ritchie, and Pence each get-ting one hit in the 13-0 loss.

The loss earned the Lady Dawgs a second place finish in the tournament.

as well, with only nine coaches having to keep their bosses happy.

It’s a 30-team league now, and a year ago at this time 10 of those clubs had a new coach.

“From top to bottom, we have a very high quality level of coaching,” said Dal-las coach Rick Carlisle, the president of the National Basketball Coaches Asso-ciation. “This is as stable as our profession has been in decades. Contracts are strong, the league is constructed in a way now where coaching is extremely important and ownership understands the importance of the coaching process.”

There hasn’t been a coach-ing hire since Jeff Hornacek was formally announced by the New York Knicks on June 2, 2016 — which might not sound that long ago, but in a field with-out any real job security that’s an eternity. So when coaches gathered last week for their annual preseason meeting, they celebrated the fact that there were no new faces in the room.

“We’ve talked about the importance of supporting

one another — and at the same time, the need to try to beat each others’ brains in,” Carlisle said. “It’s a conflicting sort of concept from afar, but internally we are the only ones that know all the challenges that head coaches in the NBA face. And because of that, there’s a real healthy respect for one another.”

Summer vacations are ending now. Coaches will all be grabbing their whistles in the next few days, start-ing with Golden State’s Steve Kerr and Minnesota’s Tom Thibodeau on Satur-day when the Warriors and Timberwolves open training camp — those teams can start early because they’re going to China in the pre-season.

The other 28 teams start practice on Tuesday.

“In team-building and pro sports, a lot of times the methodical long game is what’s necessary,” said Spoelstra, the second-longest-tenured coach in the league behind San Antonio’s Gregg Popovich. “But you’re seeing less and less of that. That’s why last year was such a pleasant surprise. I think it really was a cel-ebration of stability and an acknowledgment of how complex this position can be.”

and game plan, Thursday night games have often turned into duds. That wasn’t the case in this game as even the many imperfections couldn’t overshadow the drama in the NFL’s highest-scoring Thursday contest since Minnesota’s 46-36 Thanksgiving win over Dallas in 1998.

There was Goff connecting on big pass plays to Sammy Watkins and Robert Woods on a night he threw for 292 yards, including three touchdowns and no interceptions for the Rams (2-1).

Hoyer did his part as well — after shaking off an interception on the first play from scrimmage. He threw for 332 yards and two scores, including key passes to Pierre Garcon and Marquise Goodwin for the 49ers (0-3).

And there was plenty of drama after the Rams went ahead 41-26 with 8:43 to play on Goff ’s 13-yard TD pass to Watkins .

The 49ers scored a few minutes later on a 3-yard pass to Trent Taylor, and then got another chance right away when Pharoh Brown fumbled the kickoff. Carlos Hyde then ran it in from the 1 on fourth down to make it 41-39 and set up a poten-tial tying 2-point conversion.

The Niners needed to go for 2 because Robbie Gould had missed an extra point earlier in the fourth quarter. That proved costly when Troy Hill broke up the pass to Taylor on the 2-point try.

But San Francisco wasn’t done. The Niners recovered the ensuing onside kick, but after an offensive pass interference on Taylor wiped out a gain to Los Angeles’ 39, Aaron Donald ended the comeback with a fourth-down sack .

“It was a roller coaster,” Garcon said. “We played well, the guys fought hard, the special teams showed us and gave us those opportunities and on offense we just have to finish drives. That has been a thing for us all year. We are still figur-ing it out but we will move forward and get things figured out.”
