From the pages of The Ponca City News, Wednesday, September 30, 1998 LOCAL DEATHS NEWS BRIEFS LIFESTYLES SPORTS LOCALTulsa Performing Arts Center Tickets Available Via Internet Tulsa Performing Arts Center Tickets Available Via InternetTULSA — Purchasing tickets to Tulsa Performing Arts Center’s productions over the Internet is now completely secure due to its website now featuring highly encrypted information transmission. The Performing Arts Center’s ability to sell tickets via its website has progressed through different stages, just as the Worldwide Web has continued to expand, improve and change. Transactions made on the PAC Internet site are protected by using Digital ID technology, the most secure system possible. The Tulsa Performing Arts Center is the only entity in Tulsa selling tickets to events held at the PAC over the Internet using the encryption system. Log-on passwords and cash card PINS are examples of the “secret key” type of security that is most prevalent in consumer business transactions. This method relies on the sharing of secret keys between the consumer and another entity, such as an online subscription service or a bank. There are, however, pitfalls in this method, such as having a password fall into the wrong hands. Digital ID technology does not rely on the sharing of secret keys. Digital ID uses a matched pair of keys which are unique complements to one another rather than using the same key to both encrypt and decrypt data. What is done by one key can only be undone by the other key in the pair. Customers use the public key provided in the PAC’s Digital ID to encrypt information, and only the PAC is able to decrypt that information. Patrons may order tickets through the PAC’s Ticket Wizard by accessing the Performing Arts Center’s website www.tulsapac.com and selecting “Ticket Wizard.” Other features on the site address activities at the PAC in various amounts of detail. In the Ticket Wizard location, patrons will find pull-down menus from which they can gather information organized by different criteria. The Wizard delineates what events are offered, where and when events take place, and how much tickets cost in each theater section. Calculations necessary in figuring total cost, including the $1.25 per order handling fee, are all made by the Wizard. (This handling fee is the same amount assessed orders taken by phone.) When a ticket order arrives at the PAC website, it is put in a priority sequence, along with orders taken by phone or at the ticket window, and is processed according to when the transaction was initiated. Within 24 hours of receiving an Internet order, the PAC ticket office makes contact with the consumer to confirm the order and relate specific seating information. Online ticketing offers the consumer the ability to place ticket orders during non-business hours when other ticket offices are closed. In addition, when the PAC is experiencing high-volume traffic via phone or walk-up sales, Internet transactions eliminate the need to redial the ticket office until a phone line is free, or stand in line at ticket windows. “The performing arts are people-oriented,” says PAC director John Scott. “The Tulsa Performing Arts Center staff is dedicated to continuing the efficient, client-centered service that, while implementing technology, best addresses patron’s needs by adding avenues of expediency and customer convenience.” Carl Renfro Named Arts Award WinnerOKLAHOMA CITY — Ponca City’s Carl Renfro, representing the Ponca City Native American Foundation, has been named as one of four recipients of the Governor’s Art Award by the Oklahoma Arts Council. The 23rd Annual Governor’s Arts Awards recipients will be honored during a ceremony to be held Oct. 22 at the State Capitol. Linda Frazier, chair of the Oklahoma Arts Council, and Betty Price, executive director of the Oklahoma Arts Council, will direct the ceremonies. Gov. Frank Keating will present the awards. The Ponca City Native American Foundation, with Renfro as its chairman, was established to recognize the culture and traditions of Native Americans. The result was a cooperative intercultural venture which has made a major impact on Ponca City and the state of Oklahoma. His participation in the fund-raising efforts culminated in raising $1.3 million toward the development and completion of an 8-acre park as a national memorial honoring one of the first civil rights leaders, Chief Standing Bear. Renfro has worked tirelessly to see the completion of a master plan for a multimillion dollar cultural complex in Ponca City. Renfro has served the state of Oklahoma in numerous ways including as a Guardian of the Mansion since 1996; as a regent for the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education (appointed in 1995 and reappointed in 1998); and as a Governor’s Delegate to the national President’s Summit. Renfro served as chairman of the Marland Estate Commission from 1993 to 1996 and is founder and was chairman for the Marland Estate Foundation Inc. and now serves as a board member. He helped raise over $200,000 to fund the restoration and preservation of Lyde’s cottage, now part of the Marland Mansion Estate, which received “Outstanding Attraction” award presented at the Governor’s Conference on Tourism in 1997. Currently, Renfro serves as chairman on the Ponca City Area Chamber of Commerce’s New Industry Committee. Renfro’s other board affiliations include Ponca City Friends of Education, St. Joseph Medical Foundation Inc., Bridgeway, Harmony House, Cushing Valley Hope and Salvation Army and was declared Ponca City Outstanding Citizen of the Year in 1995.

County Completes Assignment Of Addresses for Rural HomesBy MARK GALVIN News Staff Writer NEWKIRK — The rural addressing system that caught some postal customers by surprise late last year is official now, and county officials say the rest of the plan could include some big money from the state. The Kay County Commissioners this week approved the emergency 911 addressing system that kept a county-wide committee of emergency and postal workers busy for more than a year, attaching a permanent physical address to every place that didn’t already have one. County residents have been gradually getting used to the new system, which was implemented last December by the Postal Service to avoid confusion with new 911 addresses. The new addressing did away with the “rural route” method of postal delivery, which was subject to the ever-changing delivery routes of individual postal carriers. Every rural postal customer now has the country version of a city street address. More importantly, the physical addresses now help keep emergency response personnel from getting lost in the country when they’re in a hurry, especially during nighttime emergency calls. County emergency preparedness director Patrick Zehr, who chaired the addressing committee, said it was worth the 18 months the committee spent reconciling the addressing schemes previously used by the individual communities in Kay County. “In times of emergency, people using the telephone have a tendency in their excitement to give the wrong address,” Zehr said. The temporary confusion made for “a very positive change,” he said. The county now is also on track for $77,000 in funding from the state corporation commission to purchase and install more than 1,000 new signs designating the intersections of major rural roads in the county. County Clerk Pam Goodno spent several weeks this year meeting with officials from Blackwell, Ponca City and other communities to prepare an application to the corporation commission’s public utility division for the funding. In explaining Kay County’s previous emergency response method of counting section lines on unmarked rural roads, Goodno told the corporation commission, “There have been times that emergency vehicles have lost valuable time trying to locate a residence, which could result in life or death.” Goodno this week said she thinks the county got a jump on the rest of the state, because the corporation commission told her Kay County’s application for the funding was the first one received from the 47 invitations mailed out earlier this year. “We’re not sitting on our duffs. We’re moving ahead with this thing,” remarked Kay County Commission chairman Wayne Leven after this week’s approval of the new addressing. With the approval this week of the new addressing, Kay County Assessor Tresa Engle’s office assumed the addressing system previously developed by the board of addressing volunteers. Many rural postal residents were surprised last December by the 2,000 address changes in the rural Ponca City area alone notifying them of their new addresses. P.C. Precinct 527 Moves LocationThe polling place for one of Ponca City’s voting precincts has been changed, according to Kay County Election Board Secretary Carol Stafford. Stafford said voters in Precinct 527 who formerly voted at Union School will now vote at the Church of Christ, 1905 Joe Street (at the intersection of Hartford Avenue and Joe). The change will begin with the Nov. 3 general election, she said. Nearly NewsWhoops! The grid gremlins must have attacked the weekly report of News Football Contest winners. Apparently the wrong list of winners was printed in Tuesday’s News. Top prognosticators for last weekend’s games should have been 1st, Pat Thomas; 2nd, Tommy Johns of Newkirk; 3rd, Rick Cavener, and 4th, Barbara Brandenburg of Ralston. Congratulations to the lucky winners and apologies for the one-day delay in announcing your success.

Tana Wilson Promoted To Assistant City ManagerBy PATTI PFEIFFER News Staff Writer Changes are under way in the City. Assistant to the City Manager, Tana Wilson has recently been promoted to Assistant City Manager and starting Monday the City will have a new information systems manager (ISM). “Cities of our size typically have an assistant city manager,” said City Manager Gary Martin. “I am doing some reorganization in the city and because of those changes Tana will be having additional responsibilities, including supervising several departments and facilities.” Martin also announced that Craige Baird has been hired as the new information systems manager. Current ISM Rick Meyers recently announced he will be resigning effective January 1 to start his own business. Baird graduated from OSU in 1990 with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. Before and since his graduation he has worked entirely in the computer field, working in software development, as an analyst and systems engineer for companies such as Resource Enhancement, Inc. and DOS Computer Center in Stillwater and Blue Bird Software in Ponca City, and provided computer training as an instructor at Indian Meridian Area Vocational-Technical School in Stillwater. He went to work at Conoco in 1991 where he worked his way up to systems engineer. Since 1997 he has worked as a systems engineer for Computer Science Corporation which provides computer support for Conoco. “We are fortunate to hire someone of his background and with training and also to find someone from within our community,” Martin said. Large Increase in Compensation Claims Alarming to City OfficialsBy PATTI PFEIFFER News Staff Writer Worker’s compensation claims are going up and going at an alarming rate at the City. The first six months of this year there were a total of 32 claims filed, during July and August cases have skyrocketed with 30 cases reported in those two months alone. Whether it is the summer months and hot temperatures or the August departure of the human resource director Jana Howell, or the fact that the position has yet to be filled, city officials are scratching their heads wondering what has prompted the dramatic increase. “I am alarmed at the increase in the number of worker’s compensation claims that have been filed since our human resource director left and think we need to address the issue,” City Commissioner Dick Stone said during Monday night’s city commission meeting. “The City cannot afford to throw money down the drain.” The comment prompted a quick reply from Mayor Tom Leonard, a lawyer who has over 20 years experience in worker’s compensation law. “I take exception to you saying it is throwing money down the drain. Worker’s compensation is just the price of doing business,” Leonard said. Averaging at only 5.5 cases per month from January to June, in both July and August there have been 15 such claims and September accidents are reportedly growing at the same rate with three office-related accidents in one week alone. The increase has caused the city manager to now require department heads to meet weekly with supervisors and staff to determine ways to decrease accidents. “We are hoping this will help lower the number of employee accidents,” City Manager Gary Martin said. Last year over $570,000 was paid in worker’s compensation claims. “Worker’s compensation claims are paid by taxpayers and direct cost to our citizens,” Stone says. “I believe it is the call of the city commission to determine what is causing the increase and whether it is a fluke or whether we need to be more aggressive in finding someone to work on these type of claims. “I am not trying to penalize those injured on the job because that is what worker’s compensation provides for. Our job is to see that all claims are justified and we are making the most efficient use of this tool without abusing it or causing unnecessary cost to our citizens.” School Board Discusses More GoalsEditor’s Note: This is the second in a two-part series on the Goals Planning Session held Monday night by the Ponca City Board of Education. By KRISTI HAYES News Education Editor Adding two more goals to the existing six of the Ponca City Public Schools was discussed at a Goals Planning Session Monday. These two goals add a Technology Plan by the year 2005 and a commitment to the ongoing Capital Improvement Plan. Board members discussed holding a bond issue in February 1999 for $4.5 million and proposing to raise the mill levies to 20 mills. The current mill levy is at 16 and by raising it 4 mills a homeowner that lives in a $60,000 house would pay about $.10 a day ($36.00 per year) more in property taxes. If board members call the $4.5 million bond issue, about $2.5 million will be spent on renovating the Mid-High, $1.5 million on the Middle School, and $500,000 on renovating the high school gyms. According to the planning done over a seven year summary, if citizens pass every bond issue until 2005 about $25,100,000 will have been spent to get to every facility in the school. Some of the progress already made toward meeting the Capital Improvement goal includes the new additions and renovations at the high school, new computer and science labs, new facilities, the remodeling of several elementary schools, and purchasing buses. Technology Plan Another goal discussed among board members was adding a Technology Plan by the year 2005. Some of the measurements (goals) of this are setting up an area-wide network, enhancing communications among staff, utilizing technology in math, science, social studies, and Language Arts areas integrated with instruction, all media centers on-line, one computer to every four students, and enhancing opportunities for Distance Learning. Some progress already made includes adding new computers at several schools, new computer labs, Internet access, and updated software equipment. ‘Little Bear’ Likes Powwow Beat; Decides To Make Early EntranceCathy Holubee, a resident of Oklahoma City, really enjoyed the Standing Bear Powwow Saturday at Standing Bear Park. But she celebrated the visit a little more than expected by giving birth to a new baby girl (appropriately named “Little Bear”) on Sunday morning at St. Joseph Regional Medical Center. The 32-year-old Seminole-Creek mother of four said, “My brother, Robert had talked so much about the Standing Bear Powwow, and the baby wasn’t due until Oct. 2, so I came to Ponca City to attend.” Cathy said she was really enjoying the celebration, but then about 8 p.m. she realized “Little Bear” also beginning to enjoy the rhythmic beating of the drums too. Cathy and Robert notified Linda and Ron Thiry, Standing Bear Committee volunteers who were manning the First Aid Booth, that she was in labor. The contractions were timed at about 10 minutes apart. The Thirys monitored Cathy’s contractions for three more hours while she enjoyed the powwow. They called the ambulance when the contractions were at 5 minutes and as she left the powwow for the hospital contractions were timed at three minutes. “Little Bear”, whose legal name will be LeAnne Rose, was born at 12:22 a.m. Sunday, weighing in at 6 pounds, 6 ounces. Kathy and “Little Bear” plan to stay with relatives in the area until they are recovered. Linda Thiry and Anna Adams, volunteers for the Standing Bear Powwow visited Cathy and “Little Bear” at the hospital on Monday bringing a gift of diapers and sleepers for baby. Adams, also took pictures of mom and baby for the Native American Foundation picture albums and for mom and “Little Bear.” Casa Adds Volunteers AgainThe newest group of volunteers for Kay County’s year-old foster-child advocacy program has boosted its ranks to 31 volunteers, with 22 now involved in active cases. District Judge D.W. Boyd swore in four more volunteers for the Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) program last week during a ceremony in Ponca City. The four Ponca City residents, Kimberly Newland, Diane Anderson, Sherron Helms and Wendy Martinez, completed 40 hours of training for the program, a non-profit activity that currently helps 68 children through their court proceedings and in the state foster care system. CASA coordinator Linda Sherrill said the CASAs are each required to commit to seeing a court case through until it closes. Their efforts help juvenile court officers make appropriate decisions for the children and clear their cases from the court system. It’s all part of a growing national effort to protect children who are thrust into court through no fault of their own. In 1996, Kay County handled 246 confirmed cases of child abuse or neglect, with approximately 175 children adjudicated as wards of the court. Between 150 and 200 children are in and out of home placement here at any given time. Judge Boyd initiated the local program in summer 1997 and the first seven CASA volunteers were sworn in a year ago. The next group of volunteers is expected in April 1999. Sherrill said anyone interested in becoming a volunteer may contact her or Janice Bell at Northern Oklahoma Youth Services, 580-762-8341. Time Running Out on Aprons Exhibit at Marland Mansion“Aprons are a significant part of the history of our foremothers,” says Linda Van Peenen, a volunteer at the Marland Mansion who has helped arrange the apron display for the Ponca City Arts and Humanities Council. “I enjoyed this immensely,” she said. “There are several that I care about.” The exhibit continues through Sunday at the Mansion. “This is quite a fascinating display,” she says. Dr. Van Peenen has recently retired from the medical profession. She was chief of surgery at the American Lake V.A. Hospital and a staff vascular surgeon at the Madigan Army Medical Center near Tacoma, Wash. More recently, she was a general surgeon and vascular surgeon for Kaiser Permanente in Salem, Ore. In retirement, she has continued to use her talents as a volunteer for the public good. Dr. Van Peenen says she was “always interested in making things,” particularly by sewing. “So many of these aprons were actually made by the women who wore them,” an aspect that deepens her appreciation. The aprons represent a wide variety of purposes and styles. There are more than 150, all American aprons of the Twentieth Century. Most, but not all, are domestic. “Most have an association with home, cooking, and womanhood in general,” she says. “Aprons seem to be a passing thing,” Van Peenen says. “While they help us remember the past, they may not be as important in the future.” The technology of home-making has reduced the need for protective clothing during house work, and our changing sense of fashion has not favored aprons in recent years. Many aprons in the exhibit make statements of status or style. Some are frivolous, intended only for parties or for special occasions. Some are really art works, not intended for practical application. Van Peenen says she’s afraid that “aprons may become a lost memory except for utility uses.” She points out that young people today are less accustomed to seeing aprons than previous generations have been. Dr. Van Peenen has several favorites in the exhibit. One is a party apron that’s folded with accordion pleats. Another, which is reversible, reminds her of reversible skirts which she used to wear. Like many, it brings back memories. She also enjoys the aprons with three-dimensional figures on the front. “As with so many aprons in the exhibit, I’d be interested to know their story,” she says. “I’m fascinated by the craft behind these aprons,” says Van Peenen. Even those that are intended as art raise interesting craft questions. “It’s also always interesting to see how someone can come up with expressive ideas and display them as art.” The exhibit includes placards that describe the aprons and give insight into their function. Kathy Adams, director of the Marland Mansion, is extremely appreciative of the talents and contributions provided by Van Peenen. “She is a multi-talented volunteer who comes to us with ideas,” Adams says. “She sees what needs to be done, she’s eager to make things happen, and she’s very resourceful.” The exhibit, entitled “Apron Strings: Ties to the Past,” is free to residents of Ponca City. The exhibit comes to Ponca City under the sponsorship of ExhibitsUSA, Conoco, and the Ponca City Arts and Humanities Council. For more information, patrons may call the Marland Mansion at 580-767-0420. The Mansion is located at 901 Memorial Road. Garden Club Council Celebrates 70 YearsBy PATTI N. CARMACK News Lifestyles Editor A milestone in the history of this community was observed this month as members of the Ponca City Garden Club Council reviewed 70 years of accomplishment. A celebration event for local gardeners and others is planned for Oct. 7 at the Cann Garden Home when food common to the 20s will be served. Wearing fashions reminiscent of 1928 is an option for those attending. The Ponca City Garden Club Council was organized Sept. 7, 1928 by Mrs. J. W. (Gladys) Dutton with Mrs. Frank Lucas elected as president. In 1929 a state convention was held in Ponca City. As more women, and men, joined, the council clubs began to “spin off.” The Madonna Lily and Red Rose clubs were formed, followed by the Chrysanthemum Club. In September of 1953 the garden club council’s major project for the year was announced as plans for establishing a garden center in Ponca City. “A garden center in Ponca City will be of great benefit to the entire community as well as to club members” said a spokesperson for the council. “A source of gardening information, it will house a gardening library and files of technical material practical for local use.” Christmas lighting contests, in conjunction with the Chamber of Commerce, were held in the 50s. Other projects have been poster contests for youth and therapy for shut-ins, roadside beautification, historic preservation, sending seeds to underdeveloped countries, and sponsoring flower show judging courses. The Blue Star Memorial marker, located at the southeast corner of Ponca City (the intersection of U.S. 60 and 77), was erected in 1954 by the Garden Council as a tribute to the armed forces who have defended the United States. The marker was refurbished after 30 years. Eventually the garden information area was located in the Ponca City Cultural Center in 1972 and a variety of projects helped to raise funds for custom-made cabinets and shelves for the two garden-focus rooms at the center. Members of the council have conducted annual awards events and for many years a “silver tea or coffee” benefiting World Gardening was held. Other accomplishments of the Council have included organized trips to visit well-known gardens and historic places. Forty-five garden club members, with several from Blackwell and Tonkawa, visited the mansions in Vicksburg Miss., and the Bellingrath Gardens near Mobile, Ala. via a chartered bus. Beautification projects sponsored by the council are too numerous to detail completely, but one of the highlights included the purchase of 16 fruit trees, representing each garden club, planted in 1971 on the grounds at the Opportunity Center. In 1973 the garden council was comprised of 15 clubs and in that year the council purchased seven redbud, one flowering crabapple and one Bradford pear tree, which were planted at the YMCA grounds. Bicentennial plans in 1976 included planting of red, white and blue bachelor buttons. Multiple community beautification projects have been undertaken by members of the council. In 1976, work was begun to transform the Lester and Mary Cann home into a Garden Center. Their daughter, Elsie Cann Brown, willed the house and its 10 acres of land to Ponca City in memory of her parents. Her will stipulated that she hoped the house would be “maintained and used for some form of garden club rooms for meetings or display of arts.” The Garden Council guided the refurbishing and purchased furnishings and equipment for the house. In the intervening years, many things have been donated to the Garden Council for use in the home. Trees and shrubs in the gardens have been planted as memorials. Members of Sage, Rosemary and Thyme Garden Club sponsor an herb festival annually and use proceeds to help in the community. This year some of the funds have been used to purchase several concrete benches to be placed in the Cann garden area. The council has also taken on maintenance of the Eunice Chittum Memorial Herb Garden. The council began a wildflower project in the spring of 1994, which included planting wildflowers at the west entrance to Ponca City. Each year members of the council decorate and hold a traditional Christmas silver tea with garden club presidents as hostesses. A “Plants for Pleasure” sale is held each year to obtain funds for scholarships and the council also helps fund many civic improvements. In 1995 the council purchased trash receptacles for the Cann garden. Among the highlights for the council during this decade has been the celebration by members of the Lilac Garden Club of the group’s 50th anniversary in 1995 and the celebration of the 65th anniversary in 1996 for members of the Red Rose Club. On Dec. 1, 1996 the Cann Garden was designated as an Affiliate of Oklahoma Botanical Gardens and Arboretum. On Oct. 13, 1997 six acres of wildflowers were planted at the junction of Highway 60 and I-35 exit 214 through the combined efforts of members of the Ponca City Garden Council, Conoco’s Environmental Action committee and Ponca City Tomorrow’s Environmental committee. During 1997 a gazebo was erected on the grounds of the Cann Garden as a memorial from family and Council members for the late Lyntha Muchmore. In 1998 a memorial plaque was placed in the floor of the gazebo by the Muchmore family and council See Garden Club, Page 3-C Girl Crazy Dummy to HeadlineHeadlining the children’s entertainment for the Oktoberfest at the Marland Estate this weekend will be two dummies, Andy and Angel. They’ll be accompanied by their master and mistress, Dave May and Lori May. Dave May and Andy are North Central Oklahoma’s busiest team of entertainers. Lori May and Angel will be joining the boys at this year’s Oktoberfest, proving that the “girl-crazy” Andy is not the only one who knows how to have fun. Together, Dave, Andy, Lori and Angel will provide ventriloquism and magic entertainment. Also appearing, from Wichita, will be magician Shawn Reida. Shawn has amazed and amused thousands of people around the world for TV and radio stations, dinner clubs, businesses, corporate functions, banquets, fund raisers, schools and retirement communities. Dave and Shawn have been friends since childhood when they would put on magic shows for friends and family members in Shawn’s parents basement. Oktoberfest will serve as a reunion for these two performers and mark their first professional appearance together. Other activities for youths include hair painting, temporary tattoos, castle bounce, space ball and bicycles from Russ Wiks and other activities. Youths six and under are admitted free to the Oktoberfest, and those seven and up are admitted for $1, while adults pay $2.

SPORTSSooners Not Going Wishbone — Yet Sooners Not Going Wishbone — YetBy OWEN CANFIELD AP Sports Writer NORMAN (AP) — Oklahoma plays poorly on offense for two straight weeks, then has an open date. During the off week, former coach Barry Switzer sits down and reviews film with the offensive staff. Does that means changes are in the works for this week’s game against No. 15 Colorado? ‘‘We’ve made some corrections,’’ coach John Blake said Tuesday. ‘‘When you say changes, yeah, we changed from making mistakes to trying not to make mistakes.’’ But Switzer’s visit, he said, shouldn’t lead anyone to think the Sooners will suddenly begin running the wishbone all the time. That offense was at the heart of Switzer’s three national titles and 12 Big Eight titles, but it’s not the right fit right now, Blake said. ‘‘We’re going to get back to the wishbone. It’s a good offense,’’ Blake said at his weekly news conference. ‘‘But you have to have guys who can execute it. ‘‘I don’t think you need to sacrifice our season, our football team, just to run a formation that’s not working for us at the right time and doesn’t give us a chance to win at that time.’’ The Sooners (2-1) practiced the wishbone extensively during spring practice. But one player who didn’t take part was tailback De’Mond Parker, who was recovering from a stomach injury that caused him to miss time last year. Parker, Blake said, is a great runner but not a good enough blocker to hold up in the wishbone. So the Sooners plan to continue using option plays out of I-formations that feature Parker as a ball carrier. ‘‘The offense has not been the problem,’’ Blake said. ‘‘It’s just execution on the corners and making sure we get our blocks and make things happen for us.’’ Blake said he and Switzer, who lives in Norman again after spending four years coaching the Dallas Cowboys, visit often. The sit-down with the other coaches came during the Sooners’ open week, at Blake’s invitation. Switzer said on a television show Sunday night that the quarterback shouldn’t wind up with more carries than the tailback when a team runs out of the I-formation. That occurred in Oklahoma’s last game, a 13-12 loss to California. Parker had 17 carries; quarterback Brandon Daniels had 22. ‘‘He’s made some suggestions about certain things we’re doing,’’ Blake said. ‘‘I think the understanding of what we’re doing and why we’re doing it was very clear to coach Switzer. I think that’s been very positive.’’ Blake said Parker will get more work this week when No. 15 Colorado (4-0) visits. ‘‘De’Mond needs to get 20 or 30 carries Saturday,’’ he said. ‘‘I think he needs to carry the ball as much as he can.’’ SOONER NOTES: Saturday’s game was originally scheduled for 6 p.m., but instead will begin at 2:30 to accommodate ABC television. ... Blake said Colorado quarterback Mike Moschetti ‘‘really wanted to come to Oklahoma,’’ but at the time, the Sooners didn’t have any scholarships available for the junior college transfer. ... Oklahoma ranks second in the Big 12 and nationally in total defense, allowing 207.7 yards per game. But the Sooners are last in the league in scoring, with 19.7 points per game. Lady Cougars Start Strong In Busy WeekPonca City’s junior high girls’ tennis team got a busy week off to a great start by winning the Wichita Collegiate Quadrangular Monday and taking the measure of Stillwater in a dual Tuesday. The Lady Cougars are scheduled to continue play with a trip to Ark City Thursday. The Poncans finished first at Wichita, out pointing Collegiate, Independence and Goddard. “I was pretty pleased,” said coach Dan McGregor. “The girls played real well. They won 20 of 24 matches.” Allison Hufnagel was 2-of-3 in the No. 1 singles, Morgan Meister was 2-of-3 in the No. 2 singles, Morgan Mongold 3-of-3 in the No. 3s and Michaela Cavener 3-of-3 at No. 4. In the doubles, Ashley Ford and Sherina Wood were 2-of-3 in the No. 1 slot, Tiffany Almack and Amber Foy 2-of-3 in No. 2, Janie Prado and Stacie Murray 3-of-3 in No. 3 and Daniel Kien and Jana Leach 3-of-3 at No. 4. The Lady Cougars finished with 20 points while Collegiate had 18, Independence 7 and Goddard 3. On Tuesday, Ponca City popped Stillwater 16-6. The singles winners were Meister, Hufnagel, Mongold, Cavener, Nicole Chance, Almack, Prado, Murray, Monica Cardwell, Hope Stimpson, Leach and Alisha Altman The doubles winners were Hufnagel-Meister, Mongold-Anna Stalcup, Wood-Ford and Prado-Murray. Galbreath Looks Forward To Putting Pressure on QBBy FRED HILTON News Sports Editor Wildcat senior defensive end Michael Galbreath likes putting the pressure on opposing quarterbacks. He should get plenty of chances Friday night. Pass-happy Edmond Memorial visits Sullins Stadium for the Po-Hi Homecoming. Scouting reports say the Bulldogs put the ball in the air as much as 80 percent of the time in games. Galbreath and the Wildcat defensive front was able to pressure Tulsa Memorial quarterback Joe Hull two weeks ago. Hull was 7-of-18 for 126 yards with one interception. Most of that yardage came late in the game with the Poncans well ahead on the scoreboard. Galbreath had one quarterback sack in that game and several pressures. The Cats never really got close to Stillwater’s Josh Fields, who connected on 8-of-11 attempts for 108 yards and a touchdown. The reason? “Stillwater’s (offensive) line was a lot better,” was Galbreath’s simple explanation. “They were a lot bigger than the other teams we had played. That cut down on our effectiveness.” In addition, Stillwater was a lot more successful with its running game and much of Galbreath’s responsibility is containment — of the quarterback in passing situations and of the backs on runs to the outside. “My job is to turn the runner back inside and let the linebackers get the tackle,” Galbreath said. The 6-4, 227-pounder has done that well enough this season that Stillwater, which had 300 yards rushing, rarely tested Galbreath’s side of the field. “They ran mostly to the other side or up the middle,” Galbreath said. Galbreath and the Cats hope to have another “memorial” night when Edmond comes to town. “The Edmond line looks like it has some gaps we can get through,” Galbreath said after watching the Bulldogs on film Tuesday. But the Poncans aren’t taking the 1-3 Bulldogs lightly, Galbreath says. “They have some quick receivers and backs with good speed,” Galbreath notes. ‘The quarterback looks like he could be dangerous. “This game looks winnable,” he says, choosing his words carefully. “The team still has its head up and we’re getting some players back who were ineligible. That should give us some better depth. “And I’m real excited about playing at home and for Homecoming.”
