Kim Jones draws childhood
inspiration for outreach
BY JOSH ROUSE
jrouse@swoknews.com
A childhood of struggle and perseverance inspired
MacArthur High teacher Kimberly Jones to become a
force for change in the community.
Many are familiar with programs like Attire to Aspire, the Red Tulip Project and Teamwork Makes the
Dream Work that have made a difference in the lives
of so many of Lawton’s youngest citizens. It’s the hard
work and determination that’s gone into those programs — and so many more — that earned Jones the
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Humanitarian Service
Award earlier this year. But it’s not about the recognition for Jones. She was surprised, humbled and grateful
for the award, but hopes that recognition will direct
more attention to the programs and the individuals
they serve.
“There’s the recognition of the work I’ve done and
then there’s the recognition of some of these programs,”
she said. “The programs are not statewide yet. They’re
only local, but there are programs that could go statewide or even national. That’s what I envision.”
Before Jones was an award-winning biology and
anatomy teacher at MacArthur High School, she was
one of several siblings — children of a single mother
struggling to survive in Lawton. Through no fault of
their own, the family members ended up homeless —
living in a vehicle and then a cramped hotel room on
Cache Road. They struggled to make it through each
day, unsure where they would be next and fearful they
would be taken away from their mother by authorities.
Their plight was a scarlet letter — seen only by each
other — but just as crippling and saddening.
“When we attended school, we didn’t tell anyone
we were homeless out of fear of being taken into DHS
custody and separated,” Jones said. “We kept it as somewhat of a hidden secret. We didn’t want the teachers or
others to know we were homeless.”
When they weren’t living out of a car, they were
living in a hotel room so small that some slept on box

Healthy Living Initiative begins
in three schools
BY GRACE LEONHART
gleonhart@swoknews.com
Oklahoma has the fifth highest obesity rate for youth ages
10-17, according The State
of Obesity, an annual report
compiled by the Robert Wood
Johnson Foundation. To change
these statistics, children in three
elementary schools in Lawton
are beginning a new program
which emphasizes nutrition and
physical activity.
Sandy Foster, program director for Healthy Living-TSET
said that the Healthy Living program is working with kids from
Freedom Elementary, Pat Henry
Elementary and Whittier Elementary in Lawton.
“My goal is to make people
aware of unhealthy habits and
how their choices affect their future,” she said. “The program’s
goal is to provide information
about the overall health of children and adults, including good
nutrition and tobacco use.
“Stress release, good nutrition
and physical activity are part of
the program, which is crafted to
fit the children’s needs,” Foster
said. “We have a month to learn
what the students need and to
teach them how to live a better,
more healthy life.”
She went on to say that data
from the Walk Program that
was implemented four or five
years ago in the Lawton Public
Schools showed that up to 44
percent of students in the Lawton Public School district were
overweight.

in a recent interview. “I wanted

Ethan chose goats because

“We know that time and
money are big influences on
nutrition,” Foster said. “Sometimes it’s just easier to run by
a fast food place and get something because parents don’t have
time to fix meals at home.”
Mindfulness is also taught to
the students. Good nutrition,
how to eat better and physical
activity and ways to incorporate
it into everyday life are emphasized also.
TSET has several programs
in place in Oklahoma including
“Shape Your Future,” “Tobacco
Stops with Me” and Lawton’s
Open Streets.

Permitless gun carry bill heads
to Oklahoma’s new governor
BY SEAN MURPHY
Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY
— Oklahoma residents
will be able to openly
carry firearms without
a background check or
training under a bill given
final legislative approval
Wednesday that will be
the first signed into law
by the new Republican
governor.
Dubbed “constitutional carry” by its supporters, the bill passed
the Senate on a 40-6 vote
with every Republican
and one Democrat voting
in favor. It already sailed
through the GOP-controlled House .
The bill, which becomes effective Nov. 1,
would allow most residents 21 and older to
carry concealed or unconcealed firearms without a license. Exceptions
would include anyone in
the country illegally or
those convicted of certain
crimes. Firearms would
still be prohibited in certain locations, including
public buildings, schools,
professional sporting
events, casinos and bars.
Currently, those wishing to carry a firearm in
public must apply for a license that includes a state
background check and
completion of a training
course.
“I just don’t like asking government for permission to exercise a constitutional right. It’s that
simple,” said Don Spencer, a citizen activist who
has pushed for looser gun
laws at the Capitol for
nearly a decade.
Gov. Kevin Stitt endorsed the plan on the
c a mp a i g n t r a i l a n d
planned a bill signing
ceremony Wednesday
afternoon. He pushed
for a provision that allows businesses the right
to ban firearms on their
property.
The bill was vetoed last
year by GOP Gov. Mary
Fallin , who cited opposition from the business
community and law enforcement.
“We already have reasonable licensing and
background checks,” said
Drew Diamond, a 22-year
law enforcement veteran
and former police chief
of Tulsa. “From a polic-
ing standpoint, it seems
like we’re taking all that
away and moving backward for no good reason.
It seems senseless to me.”
Diamond joined about
200 volunteers with the
gun safety group Moms
Demand Action who met
with legislators to urge
them to oppose the bill.
Groups of church leaders
also opposed the bill and
held a prayer vigil outside
the governor’s office earlier this week.
But Stitt spokeswoman
Donelle Harder said the
gover nor rep e atedly
heard from gun supporters on the campaign trail
who wanted him to sign
the bill, particularly in rural areas where Stitt enjoyed strong support.
Before the measure was
signed, a separate “trailer”
bill was moving through
the Legislature that would
put additional restrictions on openly carrying
weapons in places like the
Oklahoma City Zoo, new
Scissortail Park and the
Gathering Place in Tulsa.

NEW YORK CITY —
From the start of Michael
Cohen’s congressional testimony Wednesday, President Donald Trump’s views
on race took center stage.
Trump’s former attorney did not mince words,
flat out calling his former
boss “a racist” who believed
“black people would never
vote for him because they
were too stupid.”
“Mr. Trump is a racist. The country has seen
Mr. Trump court white
supremacists and bigots,”
Cohen said in his opening
remarks.
Race and racism came
up time and again during
the televised hearing,
which was chaired by an
African-American man
and saw several freshman
lawmakers of color get in
questioning.
Cohen, who previously
pleaded guilty to lying to
Congress, told the House
Oversight Committee that
he continued to work for
Trump despite a history of
racist comments.
Several Republican lawmakers, who maintained
that Cohen is a perpetual
liar who cannot be trusted,
questioned Cohen’s characterization.
“I’ve talked to the president over 300 times,” said
GOP Rep. Mark Meadows
of North Carolina. “I’ve
not heard one time a racist
comment out of his mouth
in private. So, how do you
reconcile it? Do you have
proof of those conversations?”
Cohen then pointed out
that the Trump Organization has no black executives.
In perhaps the day’s
most heated exchange,
Democratic Rep. Rashida
Tlaib of Michigan took issue, as did others before
her, with Meadows bringing in Trump administra-
tion worker Lynne Patton, a black woman, to the
hearing. Meadows referenced Patton, who works at
the Department of Housing and Urban Development, in his questioning.
She would not work for
someone who was racist,
Meadows said.
When it was her turn
for questioning, Tlaib said,
“Just because someone has
a person of color, a black
person, working for them
does not mean they aren’t
racist ... the fact someone
would actually use a prop, a
black woman in this chamber, in this committee, is
alone racist in itself.”
A visibly irate Meadows asked her statement
be stricken from the record
because it was a personal
attack. Committee Chair
Rep. Elijah Cummings
asked Tlaib to clarify that
she wasn’t calling Meadows
a racist. She denied doing
that, but said bringing in
Patton was a “racist act.”

their lives with physical
activity as part of it will
learn better and retain
more.”
Foster went on to say
that physical activity also
helps relieve stress. Not
just the city of Lawton
is involved with healthy
living. Fort Sill is also involved in healthy living
programs with their “Applause Program.”
“APPLAUSE” stands
for Army Partnership

she said. “The program
provides Fort Sill soldiers to work with local
area schools. It’s a great
learning experience for
the kids.”
“Being healthy is not
about your weight,” Foster
said. “It’s a combination of
factors including what a
person eats and their level
of physical activity. We
need to stop judging people because of what they
look like.”

faces up to life in prison
for the enabling child
abuse counts.
The allegations describe a sexually abhorrent scenario of abuse.
Investigators f irst
learned about the abuse
allegations in October
2018 from a Department of Human Services
case worker, the affidavit states. It was a referral made after a 22-yearold woman told a mental
health professional about
John Welker sexually
abusing her from the age
of 9 to 21 years old (2005
to 2017). She currently
lives out of state, however, John Welker lives
in Altus and has custody
of a 19-year-old and a
12-year-old girl who the
family believes may have
autism, although she’s not
been diagnosed.
According to the affidavit, the Welkers and
girls lived in several
places, including Altus
between October 2008 to
February 2010.
Investigators spoke
with the two girls on Oct.
3 and each denied any
abuse took place. John
Welker, a former corrections officer, also denied the allegations and
he thought the 22-yearold’s fiancé might be the
cause of her making up
the story, according to the
affidavit.
Roswell, N.M., police
later conducted an interview with the 22-yearold in February. According to the interview, she
said there had been sexual
abuse in three different
states. She said it first happened to her in Washington, Mo., when she was 9.
She said she told Patricia
Welker, a registered nurse,
about the abuse and said
she was given the choice
to call police. She didn’t.
The family moved to
Altus when she was 12
and said that, once there,

“never confesses to the
abuse, she does make
several admissions,” the

Payday I
lenders’
critics
overstate case
I
n 2017, the Obama administration advanced regulations effectively designed to force most payday
lenders out of business. Under the Trump administration, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
has proposed eliminating those rules. Critics decry
this effort as leaving the poor vulnerable to exploitation, but research indicates low-income citizens are
smarter and service is more reasonable than payday
lending’s critics imply.
Writing for the libertarian Cato Institute, Peter
Van Doren bluntly says evidence “indicates that the
predatory costs of payday loans may be nonexistent
and the benefits are real and measurable.”
Payday lenders provide short-term, uncollateralized loans that typically range from $100 to
$500 per loan. The lender makes money off a
fee, usually about $15 per $100 borrowed for two
weeks.
Critics call that $15 unconscionable, noting it
converts into an annualized rate of 391 percent. But
Van Doren says such comments are misleading because they ignore the true economics of payday
lending. Research shows lenders’ fixed and marginal
costs run about $25 for a $300 loan if no one fails to
repay the loan. But if just 5 percent of borrowers default, the lender’s cost increases to $40 per $300 in
loans, which comes out to $13.33 for every $100 provided as a loan.
Thus, a $15 fee may provide less than $2 in profit
for every $100 in loans. That’s not an egregious profit
margin. Van Doren notes payday lenders’ stock
prices further undermine the idea that the industry
is a cash cow.
“The apparently ‘high’ fees are a natural outcome
of lending small amounts to riskier borrowers,” Van
Doren writes. “Any restrictions that limit these fees
or impose increased costs on lenders may eliminate
access to any loans, leaving former borrowers with
less-desirable, higher-cost options.”
The industry is also criticized because borrowers
can roll over loans, raising the associated fees in the
process. Yet research shows most borrowers understand the financial reality.
In 2016, the Global Strategy Group and The Tarrance Group polled 1,000 payday loan borrowers
for the Community Financial Services Association
of America. That poll, which included oversamples
of blacks and Hispanics, found 96 percent of borrowers said they completely understood before they
took out the loan how long it would take to pay off
a payday loan and the finance charges involved.
Seventy-two percent said they received better treatment from a payday lender than from a bank or
credit card company, and 75 percent said they were
likely to recommend payday loans to friends and
family.
Those responses don’t paint a picture of people
who have been ruthlessly exploited and financially
victimized.
As we have argued before, government regulations should target and prevent fraud. Otherwise,
citizens should be free to determine for themselves
which lender they believe offers the best terms.

Hush little porn star,
don’t say a word
gather I was supposed to gasp
when Michael Cohen said
during his testimony before
Congress on Wednesday, “The
president of the United States thus
wrote a personal check for the
payment of hush money as part of
a criminal scheme to violate campaign finance laws.”
If that’s the best he’s got, Trump
should demand we hold the election this coming Tuesday.
Cohen was referring to Trump’s
2017 reimbursement of the
$130,000 hush money he paid to
porn star Stormy Daniels to stay
quiet about her claim that she’d
had sex with Trump, aka Cohen’s
client — meaning much of Cohen’s testimony is barred by attorney-client privilege. But who cares
about this sacred legal privilege?
We’re trying to get Trump!
Neither the media nor Cohen
seem to realize that Cohen wasn’t
doing anything illegal when he
paid the “hush money.” (Just because Trump thinks every Jewish lawyer is Roy Cohn doesn’t
mean you have to, too, New York
Times.)
Words like “hush money”
and “porn star” make the payments sound unsavory — especially to The New York Times,
known during the Clinton era as
Defender of Inappropriate Presidential Sex — but there’s nothing
criminal about paying money to
suppress embarrassing information, even in the middle of a political campaign.
If it wasn’t illegal for Cohen to
pay the hush money, it’s certainly
not illegal for Trump to reimburse him for it. Cohen was, after
all, Trump’s lawyer. He got reimbursed for a lot of things.
But we have to have days of
hearings in hopes of establishing that Trump violated the campaign finance reporting requirements with these payments, in
which case, OH MY GOSH, HE’D
HAVE TO PAY A FINE.
I’d be more impressed if they
got Trump on a jaywalking
charge.
President Obama had to pay
$375,000 in fines for actual campaign violations during his 2008
run, and I don’t think we needed
16 prosecutors, half of Congress
and the entire media on the case.
The theory of Trump’s alleged
ANN
COULTER
COMMENTARY
campaign finance violation is
that if you’re running for office,
all normal life expenses suddenly
become campaign-related. According to these neurotics, ANY
money Trump or his companies
spent during the campaign is a
potential campaign finance expenditure.
Paying your gardeners is a
campaign expense — because
who would vote for a man who
can’t even keep the hedges tidy at
Mar-a-Lago? If Trump had gone
to the hospital for an appendectomy — well, he got his appendix cut out because he feared
that if he died of appendicitis, he
wouldn’t get the nomination.
Luckily our laws aren’t as insane as our media. For the hush
money payments to be campaign
expenses, the government would
have to prove:
1) Trump, with his fine legal
mind, knew he was violating the
law; and
2) He authorized the payments
only because he was running for
office.
So prosecutors have a fantastic
case, provided they can get Trump
to admit on the stand, Oh no, I
wasn’t worried that these allegations would hurt my brand at all. I
didn’t care about what my grandkids or Melania would think. I
had Cohen pay off a porn star for
the sole purpose of misleading the
public into voting for me on the
basis of my character.
Such an argument would be
absurd with anyone, but we’re
talking about Donald Trump. He
didn’t exactly hold himself out to
the voting public as a moral paragon.
As voters were well aware,
Trump’s been married three times,
has appeared in Playboy videos,
and was a fixture on the Howard
Stern show for years, discussing
breast sizes and ranking women’s
looks. In the very first GOP debate, Fox News reminded viewers
that Trump had called women “fat
pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting
animals.”
The reason the “Access Hollywood” tape failed so spectacularly
was that Trump had never appealed to Americans based on his
character.
To take a contrary example at
random, off the top of my head:
Sen. John Edwards’ presidential
campaign was entirely premised
on his boasting about how much
he loved the poor and loved his
cancer-stricken wife — and also
loved his son, who died in a car
accident and he’s never told anyone this story before ...
About a year before Edwards
was caught by a real newspaper,
The National Enquirer, visiting
his love child and mistress in the
Beverly Hilton, Edwards droned
on and on about the importance
of marital fidelity to NBC’s Katie
Couric. It was, he said, “fundamental to how you judge people
and human character — whether
you keep your word, whether
you keep what is your ultimate
word, which is that you love your
spouse, and you’ll stay with them.”
In order to preserve this utterly
false image, Edwards arranged
for his campaign donors to fork
over nearly a million dollars to
keep his baby mama happy and
quiet. These were donors — not
Edwards’ personal lawyer — who
ponied up because they wanted
him in the White House, and the
money was being spent to protect
the candidate’s completely bogus
public image.
But when federal prosecutors
brought a case against Edwards
for failing to report these rather
more obvious campaign expenditures, the government was nearly
laughed out of court. The media
ridiculed the entire prosecution
and the jury acquitted, presumably on the grounds that, however
much Edwards didn’t want voters
to know about the affair, he also
didn’t want his wife to know.
Trump won the presidency not
because he touted himself as a
man of character, but because he
said he was someone who could
get things done. Like build the
wall. If you’re going to impeach
him, impeach him for that.

TODAY IN HISTORY
Today is Thursday, Feb. 28, the
59th day of 2019. There are 306
days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On Feb. 28, 1942, the heavy
cruiser USS Houston and the Australian light cruiser HMAS Perth
were attacked by Japanese forces
during the World War II Battle
of Sunda Strait; both were sunk
shortly after midnight on March
1 with a total loss of more than
1,000 men.
On this date:
In 1844, a 12-inch gun aboard
the USS Princeton exploded as the
ship was sailing on the Potomac
River, killing Secretary of State Abel
P. Upshur, Navy Secretary Thomas
W. Gilmer and several others.
In 1849, the California gold
rush began in earnest as regular
steamship service started bringing
gold-seekers to San Francisco.
In 1911, President William
Howard Taft nominated William
H. Lewis to be the first black Assistant Attorney General of the
United States.
In 1917, The Associated Press
reported that the United States
had obtained a diplomatic communication sent by German
Foreign Minister Arthur Zim-
mermann to a German official
in Mexico proposing a German
alliance with Mexico and Japan
should the U.S. enter World War I.
(Outrage over the telegram helped
propel America into the conflict.)
In 1953, scientists James D.
Watson and Francis H.C. Crick announced they had discovered the
double-helix structure of DNA.
In 1958, a school bus clipped a
truck near Prestonburg, Kentucky,
and plunged down an embankment into the Big Sandy River;
22 children managed to escape,
but 26 other children and the bus
driver drowned.

Dad turns sons into weapons
in bitter breakup with mom
HOROSCOPE
/ Holiday Mathis
For Thursday Feb. 28
ARIES (March 21-April
19). To need attention
isn’t weakness. Though
when you admit this
need, even to yourself, it
may feel like weakness
if you’ve been conditioned to think so.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20). You’re afraid you
may lack the self-discipline to move forward on
a path that clearly goes
to your desired destination. But go forward anyway. Even if it doesn’t
work this time, you’ll get
a better feel for exactly
what’s needed.
GEMINI (May 21-June
21). The desire to be
controlled and the desire to be controlling are
two sides of the same
fear. It’s distrust in one’s
own abilities and in the
workings of life.
CANCER (June 22-July
22). There are things
you want so much you’re
willing to go to great
lengths to make them
happen. Why apologize?
You’re not hurting anyone. And you certainly
shouldn’t be sorry for
not conforming.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Your creative projects
often get put on hold
because they don’t fit
other people’s idea of
“work.” You can’t expect
everyone to understand
what you understand.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22). These days, quality help is considered a
luxury because so many
people do not understand the nuances of excellent service.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.
23). This is a rare phenomenon and definitely
shouldn’t be attempted
on most days, but believe it or not, there’s
going to be a way to
please everyone today.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). Are you being assertive enough?
If they’re responding at
all, then the answer’s
yes. If they’re not, your
approach may be too
timid.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
22-Dec. 21). It’s said
that what you seek is
seeking you. If that’s
true, then what you
need is a meeting point,
and an open line of communication to establish
and agree on it.
CAPRICORN (Dec.
22-Jan. 19). Greatness
doesn’t happen overnight — almost nothing
does. “Overnight” is just
a term people use when
they’re working so hard
on something that they
hardly notice the passage of time.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). While you
don’t want to put undue
pressure on yourself,
some amount of pressure is warranted — a
reminder, at the very
least.
PISCES (Feb.
19-March 20). Minor
wins are wins. Small
steps are steps. Pennies add up, and so do
incremental successes.
You’re going to accomplish big things by starting small and building
consistently and gradually.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY
(Feb. 28). Your lucky
numbers are: 9, 40, 21,
5 and 16.

DEAR ABBY: My daughter
has two boys who treat her like
crap. They swear, call her a b---, whore, liar and the f-word.
They break things in her house
and have no respect for anyone.
The problem started after
she broke up with their biological father and married her new
boyfriend. The father brainwashes the boys to do these
things to make life a living hell
with her new husband.
What I cannot understand
is why my daughter goes out
of her way to please these two
ungrateful kids and still cannot see how they are destroying
her present household. This is
killing me. What can she do to
solve the problem?
ANGRY IN
THE WEST
DEAR ANGRY: The first
thing your daughter will have
to do to solve her problem is
acknowledge that there is one,
and SHE may be part of it.
Then, she will have to quit trying to ingratiate herself with the
boys and act more like a parent
than a doormat, which means
she will have to institute consequences when her sons misbehave and treat her disrespectfully. Unless she is prepared to
do that, nothing will change.
DEAR ABBY: My husband
is a physician with a heavy
call schedule. For years I have
struggled with how to RSVP to
invitations to cocktail parties
and/or dinner. Many times I
can go and would like to attend,
but I can’t be sure my husband
will be able to be there. Many
times I decline for us both because I worry that it might be
awkward for the host/hostess
if I accept for myself, but say
I’m “not sure” for my husband.
How would you handle this?
REALLY WANTS
TO GO IN KANSAS
DEAR REALLY: If I wanted
to attend the gathering, I would
call my hosts
and explain that
I would love
to come but
couldn’t guarantee my husband
would be able to
because of his
practice. Then I ABIGAIL
would add that
VAN BUREN
he might drop
DEAR ABBY
by later (if that’s
feasible). Gracious hosts will welcome you.
DEAR ABBY: I’m a longtime reader and I’m curious.
Do you ever receive letters from
“the other party”? Has anyone
ever read your column, realized
the letter is about them and
written to tell you their side?
Would you ever print it if they
did? There are always two sides
to every story.
WONDERING
IN HOUSTON
DEAR WONDERING:
The answer is yes. It happens
rarely, but it does happen. Last
year I published a letter from a
woman who was upset because
her ex-husband had promised
their daughter a large sum of
money for the daughter’s wedding. He had told the daughter her mother would pay half
the amount. She felt she should
have been consulted first. (I
agreed.)
I then heard from the
ex-husband, who wanted me to
know he had “apologized to her
profusely” for not discussing
the wedding budget beforehand
and that he had offered to lower
the budget, but the mother
“only wanted to be responsible
for paying for the bridal gown.”
He closed by saying, “I’m not
looking to get this published,
just thought you’d like to know
the other side of the story and
allow myself to blow off a little
steam.” I hope this satisfies your
curiosity.

Princes Fiona (Danielle Flesher Webb) is appalled when the evil Lord Farquaad (Justin
Sullivan) asks her to become his bride during the Duncan Little Theatre production of
“Shrek the Musical.”
‘Shrek’ continues this weekend
BY JEFF KALEY
Correspondent
DUNCAN — One of
Duncan Little Theatre’s
most successful productions continues on Friday
and Saturday, with the final two performances of
“Shrek the Musical.”
The Simmons Center
Theater has a capacity
seating of 750 and DLT’s
2018 production of “The
Wizard of Oz” drew what
is believed to be the facilities’ all-time attendance
mark, with sell-outs for all
its performances.
However, the first
weekend of “Shrek the
Musical” drew well for
its three performances,
including a matinee on
Sunday.
“We had large, strong
crowds for the first week-
end and we’ve very hopeful we will sell-out for the
final performances,” said
Leigh McEntire, one of
the three producers for
“Shrek” and a DLT board
member.
On Friday and Saturday, the box office at the
Simmons Center opens
at 7 p.m. and the performances are at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets for either performance are $20 for adults
and $15 for students, senior citizens (65 and over)
and military personnel
(active or retired). Children 4 and under are admitted free if sitting on
an adult’s lap. Otherwise,
children will need their
own ticket.
For information on advance tickets, contact the
DLT office at 580-2528331.

springs, others slept on a
mattress and one had to
sleep on a pair of chairs
pulled together. After
a year of these circumstances, the family moved
to eastern Oklahoma to
live with their grandmother. They wouldn’t return for a full year. Jones’
struggles would continue.
“You never forget
something like that,”
Jones said. “Then I became a single parent myself at a very young age.
That was a challenge in a
struggle. That was one of
the dark chapters of my
life.”
While others may
be worn down by their
Thursday, February 28, 2019
school, but Ethan’s size wasn’t for cattle so
we picked goats,” Dad Greg Flood said. “He
can handle goats much better and seems to
enjoy himself.”
Ethan enjoys school, especially math.
“I like to learn how to count money,” he
said, “I also enjoy Agriculture and working
with animals.”
Ethan’s dad says that he is pretty well motivated in most situations and he never gives up.
He loves to draw, be with his friends and helps
pawpaw feed the cattle and give them hay.
Ethan and his dad live between Elgin and
Sterling and they both enjoy living in that
area.
“My son is well-known in our area,” Flood
said. “He’s very loving and is all heart. He’s
also very sensitive and well-liked.”
Flood is a single father, but “Nanny and
Pawpaw live right next door and that’s a big
help,” he said. “I do believe that Ethan will
continue to show animals. He enjoys that. He
feeds and waters them himself, both morning
and night, and needs a little bit of help with
other things once in a while, but we are right
there to help him wherever we can.”
“I want to be a police officer when I grow
up,” Ethan said, with a big grin, “but for right
now, I am enjoying my goats.”
Results of the Hog Show are as follows:
struggles — contemplating the idea of giving up
or moving on to find relief
somewhere else — Jones
pushed through. She used
that anger, depression and
sadness — the bad memories of a time when the
idea of four solid walls
and a roof overhead and
a stomach full of food
was a fool’s dream — and
turned into a force of
good.
“Now I look at it as the
darkest chapter in my life
that became the qualifying chapter in my life,”
Jones said. “Those stories
helped me become who I
am. Because of that, I am
able to understand people’s struggles without
them telling me. Sometimes, people are embarrassed of their story and
they don’t want to tell you
HOME
all of the details. They
don’t have to. I’ve been
there. I understand.”
This year, Jones celebrated the sixth year of
her program, Attire to Aspire, that gives children
of struggling households
new school uniforms. She
helps as many students as
she can with at least two
sets of tops and bottoms
at the start of the school
year. Jones came up with
the idea when the school
district switched to its
uniform policy about six
years ago. She wanted
to ensure that children
would have one less worry
when they stepped foot
outside their home to go
to school.
“Even though I’m
a high school science
teacher, I identify with
the struggles,” she said. “I

knew the struggle families
would have in purchasing
new school uniforms. I
went through that and I
didn’t want other Lawton
Public Schools students to
go through that.”
Growing up, Jones and
her siblings often didn’t
have access to a washer
or dryer. They washed
all their clothes by hand
and often hung them up
around the hotel room
to dry. Often, the clothes
would not be dry by the
time they had to go to
school, so their clothes
were still damp and would
quickly develop a smell.
So when coming up with
the idea of Attire to Aspire, she wanted to address that issue.
“That’s why when I
made the decision to create the program, I made
the decision to give two
uniforms — just in case
the kid had to wash one
out and let it dry for the
day,” she said. “I was there
and I understand that
struggle. So that’s why I
made a decision to give
two tops and two bottoms. I sometimes even
give out three sets if it’s
possible.”
Jones has never asked
to many questions about
the students she assists
through Attire to Aspire.
School counselors will
send her the student’s information — name, size
of clothing and the school
they attend — and she
packs the uniforms and
drops them off at the
school. The children are
happy to have new uniforms without questions
or the threat of embarrassment.
“I’d rather keep it that
way because sometimes
people are embarrassed
to get what they feel is a
helping hand,” Jones said.
“We try to keep it confidential between us so the
student doesn’t have that
issue. I’m almost sure if
that happened to us when
we were growing up, we
would want to keep it
confidential too.”

much further back —
then Attire to Aspire. As a
teacher at MacArthur Junior High School in 1999,
she came up with the idea
of the Red Tulip Project
— a way to celebrate Red
Ribbon Week that went
beyond classroom activities. She reached out to
the Department of Human Services in hopes
of finding single mothers who were addicted to
drugs in an effort to offer
relief.
“What if we donated
some baby cribs and baby
bottles to help,” Jones said.
“We did that in the first
year. We had a party and
collected money to buy
baby cribs with and donated it to DHS.”
Seven months later,
Jones received a call from
the Oklahoma State Department of Human Services. She and other individuals who first began
the project were given an
award in recognition of
their work. It wouldn’t be
the last Jones would receive. Twenty years later,
she still credits the community for the awards and
recognition she’s received.
“It feels great,” she said.
“It feels like the contributions to the programs that
the community helps me
with. Once I get an idea,
the community embraces
it and helps me move forward. I appreciate how
they have celebrated all
the accomplishments
we have as a community
to help our kids. We’ve
helped our kids with all
these various programs,
so it’s not just my award.
It’s the community’s
award.”
Jones rarely finds any
downtime in her life. She
continues to push forward
with new community initiatives to help those in
need across Lawton. And
her efforts go beyond lifting those in need out of
poverty and dark times.
She reaches out across
the community with
programs like Teamwork
Makes the Dream Work
— started as an initiative
to take a group of students
to see “Selma,” about the
1965 civil rights march in
Selma, Ala. Meant only as
a one-time event, Teamwork Makes the Dream
Work has become an annual program that is a
huge hit in the community.
It’s that measure of success that has prompted
many in the community
to reach out to her to
help kickstart new ideas.
Jones said she’s often had
to stop, take a step back
and turn down many proposals because she simply
doesn’t have the time to
dedicate to each one.
“I already know my
schedule is full and I can’t
give it the full attention I
would like to,” she said. “I
have to section the year
off into months so that I
know what’s coming.”
Last month’s award
was not given because
one of one specific program or goal of Jones,
but rather as an encompassing recognition of
everything she has done
for the community for so
many years. This was her
second time nominated
and her first win. Jones
described the experiencing as “humbling,” but
she said she was very excited when the nominees
were announced. Like the
Oscars, she said, a nomination doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going to
take it home. But when
she accepted the award,
she thought back on that
year living in the hotel
room and how one kind
heart could have changed
everything. In a way, she’s
glad it didn’t.
“I think if someone had
given us just a little bit of a
helping hand, there were
some things that could
have been avoided,” Jones
said. “I think sometimes,
people go through struggles because you have
been appointed to help
others going through it.
That’s how I view it now.
There’s a reason why your
life unfolds the way it
does. You were the person
who was selected to help
move things forward.”

held Thursday, February
28 from 12:00 pm until
8:00 pm with the family greeting friends from
6:00 pm until 8:00 pm
at the Elgin Funeral
Home.
Billy Ballou passed
away on Monday, February 25, 2019 while
doing what he loved,
working with the nurse
cows and calves and
doing the morning farm
chores at the age of
67.
Billy Wayne Ballou
was born August 3,
1951 in Lawton, Oklahoma to Wayne and
Hazel Ballou. He was
raised in Elgin his entire life. He attended
Stony Point Schools &
graduated from Elgin
High School in 1969.
Billy attended Oklahoma State University
for one year. He later
started a hay hauling
company and drove
trucks until 1986 when
he started his own
dairy business. Billy
owned and operated
a dairy farm and hay
business from 1986 to
1995. Billy Ballou met
and fell in love with
Sherry “Paulette” Ballou in 1996 and the
two were married for
22 years. He worked
for the City of Lawton in
the late 1990s through
the early 2000s when
he took over the bulk
mail route from his father, hauling the bulk
mail from Lawton to
Oklahoma City for
many years to follow. In
the most recent years,
Billy enjoyed hauling
top soil and rock for
Ballou Top Soil and doing projects with Bailey
around the farm and
helping Paulette with
her gardening and landscaping projects. Billy
and Bailey always had
several projects going on, the nurse cows
were always Billy’s favorite because it took
him back to his roots
on the dairy farm. Billy
loved to piddle around
the farm and teach the
grandkids how to work
with your hands and
how to do things right
the first time.
Billy did not know a
stranger. He loved to
laugh and joke. He always had a quick-wit-

ted comeback to keep
you on your toes. He
was up with the chickens, or dairy cattle,
literally, and did not retire for the day until all
the work was done and
done well. He believed
in a job well done, but
he loved to cut-up and
tease while getting the
work done.
He is survived by: his
wife, Paulette Ballou
of the home; their five
children, Belinda Ballou
Lujan and her husband
Danny Lujan (Okarche,
OK), Dallas Ballou (Decatur, TX), Bailey Ballou

great-grandchild, Bradley; his brothers and
sister, Larry Ballou, Leo

Ramick and multiple
nieces and nephews,
cousins, and close
friends that he would
consider family.
He was preceded
in death by parents
Wayne & Hazel Ballou.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions
can be made to the
Oklahoma Heart Association or the Oklahoma Diabetes Association.

Gardening tips in one sentence
For those gardeners
who have little time for
reading, here are some
gardening tips in one
sentence.

characteristics than
non-hybrids.

phosphorous (P) and
potassium (K).
Vegetables which can
produce excellent yields
in the late fall season if
they are properly cared
for during the spring
and summer are tomato,
okra, pepper, sweet potato, cowpea and New
Zealand spinach.
The garden should be
examined under leaves,
inside developing fruit,
along stems and at the
plant crown at least
twice weekly to catch insects before damage occurs.
In February, if the
plants growing in your
lawn are green and you
did not plant a cool-season turfgrass, you have
winter weeds.

late summer or fall.
COE
Covering the ground
with a dense carpet of
flowering or foliage
plants is a fairly modern
planting technique, primarily to reduce mowing and fill in shade areas of the lawn.
A shade over the vegetable rows when seeded
and supplemental watering will reduce soil temperature and aid in seed
germination.
Vegetable and flower
seeds should be planted
no deeper than 10 times
the diameter of the seed.
November is a good
time to fertilize trees and
shrubs.
Cold weather can
arrive anytime in the
month of October usually before you are ready.
The variations in leaf
color in October are due
to the sunlight striking
pigments in the leaves
left by the absent of
chlorophyll.
Watch weather patterns to determine when
the first frost or freeze
may occur.
In Southwestern
Oklahoma the best
time to plant bulbs
is mid-November to
mid-December.
An easier and beneficial way to get rid of unwanted leaves is to grind
them up with a mulching mower and leaving
them to decay.
As leaves begin to fall,
they should be raked out
of flowerbeds and places
somewhere that will not
interfere with next year’s
growth.
Most perennials left
in the same place for
more than three years
are likely to be overgrown, overcrowded,
have dead or unsightly
centers, and in need of
basic feeding and soil
amendments.
When the garden
soil is turned in the fall,
none or very minimum
cultivation is needed in
the spring.
Farmers Market sets March classes
The Lawton Farmers
Market Institute classes
will continue until the
end of March at the Lawton Farmers Market
winter location held at
Cameron University Animal and Plant Sciences
complex on Southwest
38th Street and Dr. Elsie
Hamm Drive.
The scheduled classes
for March will include
B eekeeping 101 on
March 2, Raising Fruit
Trees in Southwest Oklahoma on March 9, Home
Mushroom Cultivation
on March 16, Growing
Mints and Other Herbs
on March 23, and Raising
Backyard Chickens 101
on March 30. All classes
are held on Saturdays, free
and open to the public,
and begin at 9 a.m. in the
Cameron University Plant
Sciences building.
“Most of us have gotten away from growing
our own food, we hope
that by offering these
classes through the Institute we will help people
get in touch with their
inner gardener. Whether
you are growing a pot on
your porch with lettuces
and herbs, or a full scale
garden, there’s nothing
much more gratifying
than picking and eating
something delicious you
have produced yourself,”

Let the games begin
Fort Cobb boys out for fifth straight state title;
Tipton, Cyril girls, Big Pasture, Cyril boys strive
for state tournament quarterfinal wins today
BY SETH OLSON
solson@swoknews.com
This weekend should be entertaining in the high school basketball realm.
State tournaments tip off today for
small schools while 2A-6A schools
hope to punch their state tournament
tickets for the following weekend.
Class A and Class B state tournaments run Thursday through Saturday
in Oklahoma City and throughout the
metro. Here’s a tournament primer on
each of the four brackets and what to
watch for, and check out the pairings,
tip times and locations on Page 4B.
Class A Boys
The field: 1) Fort Cobb-Broxton (22-
7) vs. 8) Garber (24-4); 4) Whitesboro
(23-6) vs. 5) Glencoe (27-2); 3)
Okarche (24-5) vs. 6) Kiowa (27-4); 2)
Frontier (21-7) vs. 7) Cyril (23-4)
Storyline: Five-peat
Basketball purists could witness one
of the top dynasties in state history
this weekend if the top-ranked Fort
Cobb-Broxton boys, winners of four
consecutive state championships, defend their title once more this weekend.
No other boys team in state history has
won five in a row outside of Douglass
from 2010 to 2014. Douglass also won
in 2016 and ’17 for seven titles in an
eight-year span. Five state titles in five
seasons would put the Mustangs in exclusive company.
“I told the guys, ‘My great state
championship teams have gotten better all the way through championship
Saturday,’” Fort Cobb coach Scott Hines
said. “You gotta peak and be playing
better on Saturday than you were Friday. That’s the goal.”
Players to watch: Kellen Hines, Tyson
Eastwood, Kyler Denton (Fort Cobb);
Cason McLemore, Albert Suarez
(Cyril)
Pulling the homer card here and telling you to keep an eye on this South-
west Oklahoma quintet. There are other
talented players in the field, but these
five will shape the Class A boys bracket.
Both Kellen Hines and Cason McLemore are 2,000-point career scorers, a milestone no other player in this
bracket has reached. The prolific scorers have had multiple state tournament
games scoring 30-plus points and they
are winners, first and foremost.
Kyler Denton hit the dagger
3-pointer to edge Cyril in the Area
championship game last weekend and
has really blossomed as a stretch forward with a soft shooting touch. Tyson Eastwood is Fort Cobb’s energizer
bunny who does a bit of everything and
exploded onto the scene with a brilliant
state tournament a season ago. Oh, and
last week he was labeled by coach Hines
as the player with the best hands he’s
ever coached. High praise, indeed.
Albert Suarez has been on a 3-point
barrage in his return to Cyril and can
carry the Pirates to the title game if his
hand is as hot from beyond the arc as it
was in the Caddo County Tournament.
Predictions
Fort Cobb completes 5-peat
Fort Cobb defeats rival Cyril in
championship game
Knock on wood, Mustang fans, but
a fifth straight state is well within the
program’s reach. This run is unprecedented at the small school classification level, and if Fort Cobb racks up
three more victories, this will go down
as one of the all-time great runs in
state history.
My hunch is the Pirates make a
splash and overthrow last season’s
runner-up and No. 2 seed Frontier in
the quarterfinals before toppling an
Okarche squad that’s on a roll.
It’ll be a rematch of last year’s semifinal thriller, which Fort Cobb won,
50-49, in the state championship that
never was. This year, these rivals and
their loyal fan bases will get the coveted

Fort Cobb-Broxton guard Kellen Hines wiggles his way through a pair of Frontier defenders during last season’s Class A state championship game at

straight state titles in a row.

Pokes scare No. 11
Texas Tech, fall in OT
CU hoops teams
prepare for last
games of season
The Associated Press
BY GLEN BROCKENBUSH
LUBBOCK, Texas — Davide Moretti had 20 points, including four free throws in the final 18 seconds of overtime,
and No. 11 Texas Tech escaped with an 84-80 win over
Oklahoma State on Wednesday night to move into a share
of the Big 12 lead.
Jarrett Culver had 19 points and 10 rebounds for the Red
Raiders (23-5, 11-5), who four days earlier had a dominating
29-point home win over Kansas. They blew a 14-point lead
in the second half against Oklahoma State (10-18, 3-12),
which is tied with West Virginia at the bottom of the conference standings.
The win put the Red Raiders into a first-place tie with
No. 16 Kansas State and a game ahead of the 15th-ranked
Jayhawks, who rebounded from their lopsided loss in Lubbock with a win Monday over their Sunflower State rival.
Moretti was 12 of 12 from the free throw line. He also
made four in the closing seconds of regulation, but Lindy
Waters hit four 3-pointers in the final 55 seconds.

vs. 6) Hydro-Eakly (234); 2) Frontier (26-1) vs.
7) Tipton (26-2)
Storyline: Four-peat
The Seiling girls are
following the footsteps of
the Fort Cobb boys as the
Wildcats — who are on a
62-game winning streak
against Class A opponents
— have won three straight
state championships and
will be heavy favorites to
win a fourth straight this
weekend.
You think 62 is a big
number, try 90. Here’s
another ‘by the numbers’ stat for you: This is
the first state tournament
appearance for the Tipton girls since 1929. That’s
90 years! Congratulations
are in order.
Players to watch: Fayth
Laughlin (Cyril);
R’Reana McBride
(Tipton); Karly and
Macy Gore (Seiling);
Karley Miller (OCA)
Karley Miller, a Cameron Aggie signee, has
led Oklahoma Christian
Academy to eight wins
in its past nine games,
with the only loss in that
stretch coming to No. 2
Frontier by two points in
the regional finals. This
is a dangerous eight seed
which Seiling will have to
exert full effort against to
dispatch.
Speaking of Seiling, the
Gore twins — Karly and
Macy — have led Seiling
to a 109-5 record and three
Gold Balls in four seasons
together. Macy, a point
guard, averaged 17 points
per game last season while
Karly, a post player averaged 16 a game. The twins
committed to Oral Roberts last spring and are two
of five Division I signees
on the Seiling roster. A
fourth straight title looks
almost certain.

Fayth Laughlin is one
of the senior Pirates making her fourth straight trip
to the state tournament.
Laughlin was a sophomore when Cyril lost in
the semifinals to Seiling
two years ago. On Friday,
they could meet again in
the semis if Laughlin’s
deadly perimeter shooting and steal-generating
defense are in full swing
to topple Smithville in the
quarterfinals.
R’Reana McBride has
been one of Tipton’s most
consistent players this
season, and the post will
need a big game inside
if the Tigers are to upset
Frontier, which is led by
former Elgin Lady Owls
coach Brett Tahah.
Big Pasture, and rightfully
so. He’s the main reason
Big Pasture has won 28
games to date. While the
Rangers will need contributions from others
to advance to the semifinals and potentially the
title game, Big Pasture’s
state tournament chapter
will be decided by how
on fire Boydston is. Even
with defenses keying in
on him, getting the star
shooter relatively open
looks will be key to the
Rangers’ success.
Predictions
Duke stays unbeaten;
Duke topples Kinta in
championship game to finish 32-0
Hard to bet against the
Tigers’ talent, and there’s
something about finishing as a state champion in
undefeated fashion that
will motivate Duke all the
more. Big Pasture should
edge Lookeba in the quarterfinals, but top-seeded
Kinta should book a trip
to the title game.
Predictions
Seiling seals four in a row;
Seiling defeats Frontier in
championship rematch
Seiling edged Frontier,
60-57, in last year’s title
game and the two are expected to meet again in
Saturday’s championship.
Expect Tipton to give
Frontier all it can handle
in the quarterfinals while
Cyril should squeak by
Smithville and get a second semifinal chance
against Seiling.

Storyline: Undefeated
Most years, a few teams
enter the state tournament undefeated, but it’s
far more rare for teams to
leave The Big House unbeaten as the last team left
standing with a Gold Ball
in hand.
That’s the task at hand
for the undefeated Duke
boys, who are seeded second and are 29-0 under
the leadership of former
Chattanooga and Big Pasture coach Nick Gable.
Duke has the coaching
and the star power to win
it all, but will the zero in
the loss column give opponents the extra motivation needed to upset the
Tigers?

be at a premium for Cameron’s Tyus Momoh and
Zach Dumas, the team’s
leading scorers.

the Rangers would play in Friday’s final semifinal at The

Late Tuesday: Jokic scores 36, Denver beats Thunder
BY DENNIS GEORGATOS
Associated Press
DENVER — Nikola Jokic is making his presence
felt down the stretch, and
that’s the way the Denver
Nuggets want it.
Jokic scored 36 points,
including five free throws
in the final moments,
and the Nuggets fended
off Oklahoma City’s late
rally for a 121-112 victory Tuesday night in a
matchup between two
of the top three teams in
the Western Conference
standings.
Will Barton added 23
points and Jamal Murray
20 for Denver, which extended its division lead
over the Thunder to four
games.
Paul George had 25
points to lead Oklahoma
City which fought back
from an 18-point deficit in the second half but
could not sustain its rally
in the late going.
Russell Westbrook finish an assist shy of a triple-double with 22 points,
14 rebounds and nine assists. Jerami Grant added
21 points.
Oklahoma City got
back into the game by
turning up its defense,
forcing five turnovers in
six Denver possessions in
one stretch, to pull into a
97-all tie on a 3-pointer
by Dennis Schroder with
6:02 left to play.
Westbrook followed by
hitting a 3-pointer to give
the Thunder its first lead
since early in the first half.
Denver, though, fought
back, retaking the lead on
a 3-pointer by Murray.
The game remained
tight down the stretch.
Mu r r ay h it anot he r
3-pointer and Jokic put
in a layup around a Westbrook layup for a 112-106
Denver lead with 1:36 remaining. Jokic helped
Denver solidify its lead
and quash Oklahoma
City’s comeback in the final moments by making
five of six free throws to
boost the Nuggets’ advantage to 117-108 with 44
seconds remaining.
“We had some things
that we were able to control that we didn’t do a
good enough job of, and
that part of it was disappointing,” Thunder coach
Billy Donovan said. “Because the guys, I thought,
battled and worked so
hard to get back in the
game to give ourselves a
chance.”
Trailing by 13 at the
half, the Thunder scored
the first eight points of the
third quarter, including

and George to equal the
number of 3s Oklahoma
City had in the first half.

Defensive linemen dominate this year’s combine class
BY ARNIE STAPLETON
AP Pro Football Writer
INDIANAPOLIS —
This year’s class of quarterback prospects isn’t as
sexy as last year’s group
led by Baker Mayfield and
Sam Darnold. Nor does
it feature the tantalizing
talents of next year’s headliners: Tua Tagovailoa,
Justin Herbert and Jake
Fromm.
There are a few passers who merit first-round
consideration, but what
teams will see an abundance of at the NFL scouting combine this week are
the players who will make
their living chasing, corralling and clobbering
quarterbacks.
“To me, it’s all about
big guys,” NFL Network
analyst Daniel Jeremiah
said. “Premier talent
and depth at the defensive line position, inside,
outside, it’s outstanding.
And it carries deep into
the draft.”
It’s not only the rush,
but the push.
Defensive ends led by
Ohio State’s Nick Bosa
and Clemson’s Clelin Ferrell are prized pass rushers, but nowadays players
such as Clemson D-tackles Christian Wilkins and
Dexter Lawrence are just
as highly valued for their
interior pressure.
“I think we’re getting
to the point in this league
where we’ve become such
a pass-first league that you
take those guys wherever
you can get them,” said
Mike Mayock, who parlayed a 14-year run as the
NFL Network’s draft guru
into the Oakland Raiders’
general manager’s job.
Mayock said he’s spoken to just about every
top quarterback in the
NFL since 2004 and he’s
asked them all the same
question: What bothers
you the most?
“And almost every topflight quarterback says,
‘immediate pressure up
the middle,’” Mayock said.
“It disturbs sight lines,
forces you to readjust
your feet. So, I think we’re
at the point now where
people are throwing the
ball so much that you’ve
got to find a way to affect
it regardless.”
Broncos new coach Vic
Fangio concurred, saying
it’s no longer enough to
have two great pass rushers such as Denver’s duo
of Von Miller and Bradley
Chubb.
“You want four guys
that the quarterback can
feel caving in on him,”
Fangio said. “And that’s
critical in the pass rush.
And that’s an area that we
need to improve in.”
There’s plenty of those
players in Indianapolis for
interviews, physicals and
testing this week.
Despite the down
year for QBs, there’s still
plenty of intrigue at the
position thanks to Kyler
Murray, who followed
Mayfield from the state of
Texas to Oklahoma, won
the Heisman Trophy like
Mayfield did, and is now
following the Cleveland
Browns’ starting QB to
the NFL after spurning the
Oakland Athletics.
“He’s a guy that, once
again, people are going say
is small and too short, but
the kid knows how to win,”
Mayfield said. “When it
comes down to it, that’s
the most important thing.”
After committing to
football over baseball,
the biggest questions surrounding Murray this
week aren’t about ability
— “Kyler can make every
single throw,” Jeremiah insisted — but his height and
weight.
So his weigh-in Thursday will garner as much
interest as anything else
this week.
Is he really under
5-foot-10? Has he really
bulked up to 206?
M u r r a y, D w a y n e
Haskins, Drew Lock,
Daniel Jones and Ryan
Finley all project as a
solution to somebody’s
quarterback quandary despite the relative weakness
of this year’s QB class.
The scouting combine
always seems to come on
the heels of another Super Bowl parade for New
England. As usual, Bill
Belichick isn’t among the
coaches and general managers who will meet with
the media, so football’s
focus moves on to other
topics:
BROWN’S TOWN
Where will Antonio
Brown play next season? Don’t count out
Pittsburgh. Or, for that
matter, Baltimore, Cincinnati or Cleveland.
Steelers general manager
Kevin Colbert said he’d
prefer to keep one of the
league’s top playmakers
in Pittsburgh. If he does
trade Brown, he’d rather
deal him out of the AFC
North.
But ...
“If a te am comes
through with the best
compensation, we have
to balance that out: OK,

RAIDERS PLANS
Don’t expect the Raiders to use one of their
three first-round picks
on a quarterback after
Mayock’s high praise of
Derek Carr on Wednesday.
“I think it’s really difficult to improve over a
franchise quarterback
like the one we have in
our building right now,”
Mayock said.
ELWAY’S QB CAROUSEL
For the first time in
four years, Broncos GM
John Elway attends the
combine knowing who
his quarterback will be.
He has a trade in place
with Baltimore for Joe
Flacco once the league
year begins March 13.
Just like last year, when
the Chiefs had a deal
pending that would send
Alex Smith to Washington, the Broncos and Ravens are barred by NFL
rules from discussing the
matter, making for an
awkward situation as both
teams dance around their
franchise’s biggest offseason story line.

No. 7 TENNESSEE 73,
MISSISSIPPI 71
OXFORD, Miss. —
Grant Williams scored 21
points, including the goahead basket with four
seconds left, to lift Tennessee over Mississippi.
Tennessee (25-3, 13-2
Southeastern Conference) bounced back from
a tough loss to LSU on Saturday with a hard-fought
victory. The Volunteers
remain in a three-way tie
atop the SEC with LSU
and Kentucky.
The Volunteers trailed
39-34 at halftime, but used
a 14-0 run early in the
second half to jump back
ahead. Ole Miss wouldn’t
go away, pushing in front
58-57 on Terence Davis’
3-pointer with 10 minutes
left.
From that point forward, it was a backand-forth struggle. Ole
Miss guard Breein Tyree
missed the front end of a
one-and-one with 18 seconds remaining, Tennessee grabbed the rebound
and Williams hit a driving
layup in the lane to make
it 72-71.

Virginia guard Kyle Guy (5) and guard De’Andre Hunter
(12) laugh during the second half of the team’s game
against Georgia Tech in Charlottesville, Va., on Wednesday. Virginia won 81-51.
Ole Miss (19-9, 9-6)
had one more opportunity in the final seconds,
but Devontae Shuler was
called for a charge while
shooting a deep 3-pointer
with a second left. Tyree
and Davis led the Rebels
with 16 points each.
No. 8 HOUSTON 99,
EAST CAROLINA 65
GREENVILLE, N.C. —
Corey Davis Jr. matched
his career high with 26
points to help Houston
beat East Carolina in a
game that included multiple technical fouls against
the Pirates and three ejections after halftime.
Fabian White Jr. added
16 points for the Cougars (27-1, 14-1 American Athletic Conference),
who shot 60 percent. They
made 13 of 28 3-pointers, which followed a 16for-24 effort during last
month’s 44-point rout in
the first meeting.
Seth LeDay had 17
points for the Pirates (1017, 3-12), who trailed 4531 by the break and never
recovered.
Things got away from
them during an ugly sequence early in the second
half filled with technical
fouls, all involving ECU.
Coach Joe Dooley and
sophomore guard Shawn
Williams were ejected
along with a fan during a
stretch that had the home
crowd irate with officials
— and some throwing
trash toward the court.
IOWA CIT Y, Iowa
— Iowa has suspended
coach Fran McCaffery
for two games for yelling at an official in a hallway heading to the locker
room following Tuesday’s
loss at Ohio State.
Hawkeyes athletic director Gary Barta announced the move on
Wednesday, which will
sideline McCaffery for
upcoming games against
Rutgers and Wisconsin.
The Big Ten says it supports McCaffery’s suspension, and it tacked on
a $10,000 fine for the university along with a public
reprimand.
B a r t a c a l l e d Mc Caffery’s comments “unacceptable,” adding that
they didn’t represent the
values of the school.
McCaffery is in his
ninth season at Iowa.
The Hawkeyes, who were
ranked 22nd in Monday’s
poll, have three regular
season games left.
McCaffery was suspended a game for arguing with officials in 2014.

straightaway 3-pointer
as time expired and the
Miami Heat wasted a
24-point lead before rallying to beat the Golden
State Warriors 126-125 on
Wednesday night.

Wade took a victory lap,

Miami made 18 3-pointers.
Klay Thompson scored
36 points for the Warriors.
Kevin Durant added 29,

with 14 seconds left that
kept the Heat within two
points.
Stephen Curry had 24

CHARLOTTE, N.C.

30 points, Clint Capela

and Houston beat Charlotte for its third straight

In his first game since
his streak of 30-point
games ended at 32,
Harden struggled from
the field, missing his first
eight shots from 3-point
range — even having one
blocked by Nic Batum.
Harden finished 10 of 29
from the field and 1 of 11

made two free throws with
14.6 seconds left to put it

Jets GM says he is
open to trading
No. 3 pick in draft
BY AL IANNAZZONE
Newsday (TNS)
INDIANAPOLIS —
Jets general manager
Mike Maccagnan said any
team interested in the No.
3 pick in the draft should
give him a call, including
the Giants.
The Jets are in an enviable position. They could
keep their pick and take
a defensive lineman or
outside linebacker. But if
a team is looking to move
up to grab a quarterback,
the Jets could turn the No.
3 pick into multiple assets.
It’s available, Maccagnan
said, for the right price.
“Right now we feel
good at No. 3, but I’d definitely say if there’s an opportunity to trade down,
we would absolutely look
at it,” Maccagnan said
Wednesday at the NFL
combine. “If we end up
picking a player at three,
we’ll feel really good. If
there’s an opportunity
for us to move back and
acquire more picks, that’s
something we’d definitely
be potentially interested
in.
“It would have to be
the right kind of deal, but
I definitely wouldn’t rule
anything out at this point
in time.”
Maccagnan made the
big move last year, jumping from six to three to
position the Jets to take
Sam Darnold. The Giants have the No. 6 pick
and need a quarterback
to eventually replace Eli
Manning. Ohio State’s
Dwyane Haskins is the
best one in this draft.
If the Giants or another
team that picks after the
Jets wants to move up
to assure they grab that
player, Maccagnan said
he’s all ears.
“I think I would be
open to any team,” he
said. “As long as the trade
made sense to us, there’s
nothing that would stop
us from doing that.”
The Jets gave up a lot
to land Darnold, sending the No. 6 pick to
the Colts, as well as two
second-round picks last
year and one this year for
the No. 3 overall choice.
Maccagnan wouldn’t
mind recouping some of
those picks to help fill the
many holes on the roster.
The Jets don’t have a second-round pick this year.
It’s no secret the Jets
need an edge rusher and
to revamp the offensive
line.
If the Jets stand pat
at No. 3, they certainly
would address the defensive deficiencies. Ohio
State’s Joey Bosa, Kentucky’s Josh Allen and
Alabama’s Quinnen Williams likely would be on
the Jets’ radar. But if they
acquire additional picks,
they could look for offensive line help. Maccganan
said the strength of the
draft is on defense and
the offensive line.
“Whatever we can do
to help build the team in
the vision we have for it,”
Maccagnan said. “Sometimes having one player at
three or multiple options
if we move back with
other opportunities, that
would bode well for us.
“It’s a good spot to be
in,” Maccagnan added.
“It’s a good pick to have.
It’s a very valuable pick.
If there are teams that
are up there looking to
go chase a quarterback,
I think we’re in a pretty
good position to be in.
I know there’s definitely
three good football players in this draft. So if we
have to sit there at three
and pick a player we’ll be
very happy with that, too.
“I don’t necessarily
like how we got the third
pick, but it’s a good pick
to have.”

GAINESVILLE — A teenager
fell through a skylight at a Florida
high school gym and crashed onto a
wrestling mat, shocking spectators
as wrestlers were competing.
News outlets report the 19-yearold was taken to a hospital with serious injuries after he fell about 40
feet through the ceiling window Friday evening. Alachua County Sheriff ’s Lt. Brett Rhodenizer says the
teen was among a group of at least
eight people who went to the roof
during the match at Buchholz High
in Gainesville.
Rhodenizer says they were on
the roof to retrieve a cellphone that
someone had thrown near the skylight. Deputies didn’t identify the
man who fell.
HAWAII
Thief takes urn containing
ashes of police officer
HONOLULU — Police say a thief
broke into a Honolulu home and
made off with a brass urn containing the ashes of a retired police lieutenant.
KHON-TV reports Wednesday
that Honolulu police are asking for
help in recovering the urn engraved
with Mark Kajiwara’s name.
Kajiwara died in 2012 at the age
of 61. He served the police department for more than 30 years.
His sister Cynthia Kajiwara says
the family is “just bewildered” as to
why someone would steal the urn,
noting that the ashes can’t be replaced.
Police Sgt. Chris Kim says the
thief might be considering taking
the urn to a metal recycling company.
KANSAS
Quindaro Ruins gets new
historical designation
KANSAS CITY — Congress
has approved a historical designation for the Quindaro Ruins, a Civil
War-era port of entry into Kansas
and stop along the Underground
Railroad.
The Kansas City Star reports that
lawmakers recognized Quindaro as
a national commemorative site as
part of a massive public lands package approved by Congress on Tuesday. The legislation is now headed
to President Donald Trump’s desk.
The designation comes from the
National Park Service but falls short
of national historic landmark status.
Still, supporters say it creates opportunities for new assistance from the
government to preserve the Kansas
City site, which was once a flourishing abolitionist community.

TENNESSEE
Man accused of dipping
testicles in customer’s salsa
MARYVILLE, Tenn. — A Tennessee man was jailed on felony
charges after appearing to dip his
testicles into a container of salsa
that a customer had ordered online.
The delivery driver allegedly recorded it and posted a video online,
saying “This is what you get when
you give an 89 cents tip for an almost 30-minute drive.”
News outlets report that the passenger, 31-year-old Howard Matthew Webb, was arrested last week
and charged with adulteration of
food.
Dinner Delivered said the food
service has fired the driver and forwarded information about him to
authorities as well.
Webb remains behind bars pending a March 12 hearing.
His arrest warrant says they
picked up the food for delivery from
a local Mexican restaurant. The
company issued a refund for the
tainted food.

CROSSWORD/EUGENE SHEFFER
SALT LAKE CITY — Students
and teachers were forced to stay
inside a suburban Salt Lake City
school while wildlife officials corralled a mountain lion that was
spotted nearby.
Jordan School District spokeswoman Sandy Riesgraf said
Wednesday that the cougar was
spotted at a park near the Bluffdale
Elementary School around 9 a.m.
That triggered a shelter-in-place order for the school.
Wildlife officials cornered the
mountain lion about two hours later
in a pipe and put it in a cage. The
shelter-in-place was then lifted.

DILBERT
WARREN — Police say an inmate who died at a minimum security prison in Maine was strangled
by his cellmate during a fight over
stolen cigarettes.
Recently released court documents show an inmate told investigators he witnessed 39-year-old
Zachary Titus put 28-year-old Dana
Bartlett in a “sleeper hold” at the
Bolduc Correctional Facility in
Warren.
BOSTON — Several personal
possessions of Oskar Schindler, the
German industrialist who saved
the lives of about 1,200 Jews during
World War II, are up for auction.
Schindler’s Longines wristwatch,
a compass he and his wife reportedly used in 1945 as they fled advancing Russians, two Parker fountain pens, and several other items
are being sold by Boston-based RR
Auction.
The belongings being sold as a
package are expected to fetch about
$25,000 in the auction that ends
March 6.
RR’s Executive Vice President
Bobby Livingston says the possessions are from the estate of Schindler’s wife, Emilie, who died in
2001.
Schindler, a Nazi party member
whose story was told in the 1993
Oscar-winning movie “Schindler’s
List,” saved Jews by employing then
in his enamelware and munitions
factories. He died in 1974.

SHOE
LOS ANGELES — Prosecutors
have filed multiple battery charges
against a California man whose
clash with two women over a hot
dog was caught on now-viral video.
The Los Angeles city attorney’s
office said Wednesday that 30-yearold Arka Sangbarani Oroojian of
Sylmar was charged with five felony
counts of battery. If convicted, he
could face up to 2½ years in jail.
It’s unclear whether Oroojian has
an attorney.
A video of the Jan. 26 clash
posted by Los Angeles police shows
Oroojian throw a woman to the
ground next to a downtown hot dog
stand, then punch a second as she
approached.
He punched the first woman two
more times, once as she was getting
up and as she wound up to hit him.
He hit the second woman again as
she stood still.
