Korean War Vet Honored Again

Korean War Vet Honored Again

WHITE EAGLE — A Ponca Indian who was known for his courage has been honored again — almost a half-century after he died in captivity in Korea.

American Legion Buffalo Post 38 has redone the grave marker of U.S. Army Cpl. Robert Roy, who is believed to be the only Ponca Tribal member who did not return home from service during the Korean War.

According to family and friends, Roy had the personality of a competitive athlete but he also was a loving family man and a regular member of the Ponca Indian Baptist Church.

He volunteered for service in the Army during the Korean conflict and following his capture there, he was listed as missing in action for several months.

Word came back later that because of his strong will, he was at odds with his captors and he reportedly died of malnutrition in a POW camp.

His parents, Tom and Lizzie Roy, finally were notified that he had died three months before what would have been his 21st birthday.

Buffalo Post 38 this year arranged for new words to be inscribed onto Roy’s grave marker identifying him as a prisoner of war who died in captivity.

The extra inscriptions were donated to the post by Ponca City’s Pryse Monument Company. The stone was polished and mounted on a new footing.

Buffalo Post service officer Dwight Howe said this latest project “was to ensure special recognition was given to a veteran of the Korean War, one who gave his life for his country and his tribe.

“This type of sacrifice should never be forgotten, and the Post is committed to honoring his memory and others like him,” Howe said.

Men and women of the Ponca Tribe have answered the call to arms for every major conflict the United States has been in since World War I.

“Their courage and unselfish dedication is a tribute to the true character of the people called Ponca,” Howe said.

The American Legion Post 38 at White Eagle is the first all-Indian American Legion Post in the U.S.

Grill Vegetables For Added Flavor

(AP) — Barbecued and grilled vegetables such as corn, sweet potatoes and eggplants, even asparagus, can form the basis for satisfying meatless meals. Vegetarians have plenty of tasty, acceptable choices to heap on their plates, given the variety of foods that can be prepared on the grill. Side dishes such as rice and beans, crusty bread and salads can round out meals, with fruit and cookies as easy desserts.

Barbecued Corn with Chili Butter

12 ears corn in their husks

1/2 cup butter or margarine, soft

ened

2 tablespoons hot red pepper

sauce

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Peel back husks; remove corn silk. Bring husks up and tie with kitchen string. Soak corn in cold water for 30 minutes. Beat together softened butter, pepper sauce, chili and garlic powders until smooth; set aside. Grill corn over medium heat for 25 minutes or until corn is tender, turning often. Remove husks. Serve with reserved butter mixture. Flavor variations to blend with 1/2 cup softened butter:

3 tablespoons brown mustard and 1 tablespoon horseradish.

3 tablespoons minced fresh herbs and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce.

2 tablespoons hot red pepper sauce and 1 teaspoon curry powder (for Indian flavor).

2 tablespoons hot red pepper sauce, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger (for Asian flavor).

Grilled Sweet Potatoes

2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled

and cut into 1/2-inch slices

1/3 cup Dijon or honey mustard

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon minced fresh rose

mary leaves or 1 teaspoon dried

Place sweet potatoes and 1 cup water into large microwave-safe dish; cover. Microwave on high 6 minutes or until potatoes are crisp-tender, turning once. (If necessary, cook potatoes in two batches.) Drain well. Combine mustard, olive oil and rosemary. Grill sweet potato slices on oiled rack over medium-high for 5 minutes or until fork-tender, turning and basting often with mustard mixture.

Eggplant Sandwich

with Tomatoes and Feta

Cooking spray

1 tablespoon Caesar salad dress

ing

1 small eggplant, cut into 16 thin

slices (see note)

4 wheat Kaiser rolls, split

1/4 cup plain nonfat yogurt

1 large tomato, cut into 8 thin

slices

1/2 medium red onion, cut into 4

thin slices

8 basil leaves, finely chopped

2 ounces feta cheese, finely

crumbled

4 leaves romaine lettuce

Preheat the grill. Coat a grill rack with cooking spray and place on the grill. Drizzle or lightly brush the Caesar salad dressing over one side of each eggplant slice. Arrange the slices, dressing side up, on the grill rack. Grill just until lightly browned on the bottom, juicy on the top and tender, about 15 minutes. Arrange the rolls, cut sides down, on the grill; toast for 3 minutes. Using a spatula or tongs, remove to a platter.

Spread the yogurt on the cut sides of the rolls. Layer the eggplant, tomatoes, onions, basil and feta cheese on half of the roll, starting and ending with the eggplant. Top with the lettuce and remaining roll. Serve immediately.

Note: The eggplant may be peeled or left unpeeled, as desired. Some cooks prefer the skin left on; others find it has a bitter taste. Judging when eggplant slices are done is tricky, so test early; if undercooked, they can always be returned to the grill for a few more minutes. Makes 4 servings. “Simply Grilling” by Carol Munson.

Asparagus with Lemon

Vinaigrette

2 teaspoons olive oil

2 teaspoons sugar

3/4 teaspoon freshly ground

black pepper

Juice of 1 lemon

Cooking spray

1 pound asparagus (see note)

Whisk the oil, sugar, pepper and lemon juice in a small bowl until well combined. Preheat the grill. Coat a grill rack with cooking spray and place on the grill. Arrange the asparagus spears crosswise on rack. Grill until lightly browned and tender, about 5 minutes, turning with tongs once. Transfer to a serving platter and drizzle the lemon mixture over the asparagus. Serve at once.

Note: Young asparagus grills beautifully, turning out juicy and tender. Choose bright green spears with tightly closed tips; wash thoroughly and peel stems if they seem woody. Makes 4 servings. Recipe from: “Simply Grilling” by Carol Munson.

Trevor Leu Gets Game Winning Single in 9th

Trevor Leu Gets Game Winning Single in 9th

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Oklahoma State’s baseball team is still alive in the postseason, thanks to an unlikely run through the Wichita Regional.

After losing their opening game to UCLA on Friday, the Cowboys won twice on Saturday and then swept two games from host Wichita State on Sunday to advance to next weekend’s Super Regional.

Trevor Leu’s single in the bottom of the ninth scored Josh Holliday with the winning run in Sunday night’s 7-6 victory. Earlier, the Cowboys had beaten Wichita State 11-8.

Holliday and Lamont Matthews opened the ninth with singles off Marc Bluma (2-3). After Jay McCullough struck out, Leu came through with his game-winner.

Rusty Rushing (3-1), the sixth Cowboy pitcher, worked the final 1 2/3 innings to get the victory. He also was the winner in relief in the first game.

Kevin Lucas hit a two-run homer and Matthews, who had five homers and 13 RBIs in the regional, hit a solo shot to give the Cowboys a 3-0 lead in the first inning.

Wichita State scored four in the third but OSU came back with three in the bottom of the inning to retake the lead. Wichita State added a single run in the fourth and tied it on a homer by Tim Hayes in the seventh.

Matthews’ 26th homer of the year led off the eighth inning of the first game, breaking a 7-7 tie and starting the Cowboys on their way to the victory.

They scored three more runs in the eighth after Matthews’ homer off Greg Bauer. Matthews also had a run-scoring single in the three-run fifth as Oklahoma State opened a 7-3 lead. Two of the runs scored on an infield single by Holliday after three straight singles loaded the bases with two out.

Billy Gasparino’s grand slam, his 24th homer of the season, put the Cowboys ahead 4-2 in the third.

Pat Magness doubled home two runs in the fifth for Wichita State. The Shockers tied the score an inning later when Koyie Hill hit a bases-loaded single after a pair of walks and Kevin Hooper’s third straight hit.

Hill and Brian Preston hit home runs for Wichita State. Preston’s was his 23rd of the season.

Rushing gave up just one hit and one run after coming in with one out in the seventh.
