Shirley Bellmon Honored During Museum Ceremony

By LOUISE ABERCROMBIE

News Staff Writer

The energy and specialness of Shirley Bellmon, twice first lady of Oklahoma, was recognized with the unveiling of her portrait Saturday evening at the Pioneer Woman Museum’s Wall of Fame ceremony.

Unveiling of the portrait was by the late Mrs. Bellmon’s husband Henry Bellmon. Bellmon, the former two-term Oklahoma governor and U.S. senator, was accompanied by his and Shirley’s three daughters, Gail Wynne, Enid; Pat Hoerth and husband Jim, Enid, and Ann McFerron, of Maryland. Also present were Mrs. Bellmon’s brother, Dan Osborn and his wife Nona, and a sister-in-law Mary Osborn wife of another brother, Max.

The wall of fame features women from Oklahoma who have made a significant contribution to history in the state and the nation.

Mistress of ceremonies was Jayne Detten, chairman of the Pioneer Woman Museum Advisory Board. Mrs. Detten said, “Shirley Bellmon was a real lady, common, did not take on any airs. She was down to earth, whole-heartedly worked for and to promote the success of women through home-based business and was supportive of her home town of Billings.”

Among the special guests were Kathy Dickson, director of museums for the Oklahoma Historical Society, Mayor Tom Leonard and his wife Ann.

Mrs. Bellmon made many contributes to Oklahoma during her two terms as first lady.

She operated the First Lady Doll Collection factory at Billings, the First Lady Cafe and served on the board of the Henry Bellmon Library, slated to open this fall.

The library will now recognize both Henry and Shirley Bellmon and is planned for opening Labor Day weekend, when Henry turns 80. The library is to feature memorabilia from both of the Bellmons.

The restaurant, which had been closed following the death of Shirley in July, has reopened in Billings and is known as the Order Up Cafe. The factory and the cafe were deeded to the city of Billings for $1 by Henry Bellmon in early December.

The unveiling ceremony of Mrs. Bellmon’s portrait climaxed a day of activities celebrating Women’s History Month with the theme “Power in a Velvet Glove.”

The events included a luncheon featuring a turn-of-the century style show by the Friends of the Guthrie Museum, narrated by Betty Boyd, TV personality, and Sheren Bowers of Guthrie.

Denise Bode, Corporation commissioner, was the featured speaker and spoke about women in politics. The events were a joint effort of Conoco and the Pioneer Woman Museum Advisory Board. Shanley Wells of Conoco was general chairman for the day’s activities.

OU Joins Top Seeds on Sidelines

By BOB BAUM

AP Sports Writer

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — So much for the top seeds in the West.

Washington, cheered on by a capacity crowd at the Spokane Arena, eliminated No. 2 seed Oklahoma 84-67 Saturday night to advance to the semifinals of the West regional.

The sixth-seeded Huskies, who defeated No. 3 seed Florida in Gainesville to make it to Spokane, play fifth-seeded Southwest Missouri State on Monday night for a berth in the Final Four.

Southwest Missouri State upset top-seeded Duke in the other semifinal 81-71 behind 41 points by Jackie Stiles.

Megan Franza warmed up after an icy start to score 17 for Washington (22-9). She missed her first five 3-pointers, then made three of four, two in a 23-second span, as the Huskies pulled away midway through the second half.

Freshman Andrea Lalum scored 18 for Washington. Loree Payne added 17 and freshman Giuliana Mendiola 15.

Oklahoma (28-6) shot just 35 percent from the field (25-of-72).

In what was supposed to be a 3-point shootout, the Sooners were just 6-for-26 from long range. Washington was 8-for-24.

All-America Stacey Dales was just 6-of-14 shooting and scored 13. LauNeisha Caufield, who like Dales averages 16.1 points per game, was 0-for-11 from the field and scored six.

Caton Hill kept the Sooners in it most of the game with 23 points and 12 rebounds. She scored 18 in the second half as Oklahoma rallied to take a 49-48 lead on Sunny Hardeman’s 3-pointer with 12:52 to play.

But Lalum followed with one of her three 3-pointers — in four attempts — to put the Huskies ahead for good 51-49 with 12:48 remaining. Franza’s 3-pointer capped a 10-2 run that gave the Huskies a 58-51 lead 11:03 from the finish.

Hill’s two free throws cut it to 60-57 with 7:58 to go, but Franza made two 3s, the second with 7:16 to play, put Washington up 66-57.

The Huskies, in a regional final for the first time since 1990, sealed it by making 11 of 12 free throws in the final 1:53. Washington has never played in the Final Four.

The game got off to an ugly start. Oklahoma, which averages 82 points, scored just 17 in the first 16:12.

Payne’s rebound basket put Washington ahead 25-17 with 4:32 left in the half. Then both teams warmed up and the Huskies led 38-33 at the break.

The Sooners made just three of their first 15 shots and trailed 17-10 after Mendiola scored for Washington with 9:23 to go in the half.

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — Scott Baker pitched eight innings, giving up just one run on five hits as Oklahoma State beat Texas Tech 2-1 to earn a split of a doubleheader on Sunday.

Oklahoma State was led by Baker (5-1) in the second contest, with reliever Shane Hawk picking up his third save of the season.
