Richard Hendricks shows off the Warren Spahn Award.

A set of the original chairbacks from what is now OSU’s Gallagher-Iba Arena.

The 13,000 square feetfacility is a shrine toOklahoma’s top athletes, atribute to their careers withdisplays replete with memo-rabilia from their glory days.It also features relics of no-table state collegiate action.

This unparalleled facil-ity is the brick and mortaroffspring of an impromptudiscussion initiated by Lo-gan County Farm Bureaumember Richard Hendrickswith Hall of Fame pitcher Ferguson Jenkins and HarlemGlobetrotter great Geese Ausbie.

Hendricks, an educator and coach at Guthrie for 19 years,broached the idea of a place to display items from Jenkins’and Ausbie’s illustrious careers following a school assembly.

He remembers the occasion well.“It was during Red Ribbon Week (a drug free promotion).

We invited Ferguson Jenkins and Geese Ausbie to put on anassembly for the kids. They talked to the kids (about stayingin school and being drug free), and when it was over we talkedabout a place to display their memorabilia andusing their influence positively to influence ourkids.”

Hendricks, now retired, and the two Okla-homa all-star athletes took their 1991 idea to thecommunity and by 1992 a non-profit organiza-tion was established and the push to gathermaterial for exhibits began. Some three yearslater, trustees guaranteed funds to purchase thebuildings for the museum and by 1996 the firstbuilding was restored.

The West Gallery was opened next by Gov.Frank Keating, who assisted museum trustees inobtaining a grant to help install electricity, heatand air in that area.

“I just felt lucky the Lord lead me to do this,”says Hendricks, who now serves as president/

“We thought we couldprovide a place where wecould not only recognizeHall of Fame athletes,”says Hendricks, “but all proathletes from Oklahoma.”

There are large displaysof Oklahoma’s superstarsin Major League Baseball(MLB) and the NationalFootball League (NFL).

Oklahoma MLB Hall ofFamers featured includeJenkins, Mickey Mantle,

Johnny Bench, Warren Spahn, Willie Stargell, Carl Hubbel,Bullet Rogan and Paul and Lloyd Waner, the only brothers inthe shrine.

“Oklahoma has a lot of baseball players. There’s no othersport where we have that many. That’s the reason we’re heavyon baseball,” says Hendricks.

One special baseball exhibit is a Rawlings Gold GloveAward donated by Rawlings Company honoring fiveOklahomans who received the award as best at theirposition. Bench, the former Cincinnati Reds catcher, is in

consecutive years.NFL Hall of Famers include Leroy Sellmon,

Tommy McDonald, Jim Thorpe and Steve Largent.Heisman Trophy winners Barry Sanders, SteveOwens and Billy Sims have memorabilia on displayalong with OU coaching legends Bud Wilkinsonand Barry Switzer.

No display about Oklahoma sports would becomplete without legendary OSU basketball coachHenry Iba. Mr. Iba is memorialized for his excel-lence at both OSU and the Olympics. Relics fromthe arena bearing his name, Gallagher-Iba, includea set of the first wooden chair backs and another setthat replaced them before the recent renovation andenlarging of the basketball mecca.

State wheat producers again have the opportunity toparticipate in a revenue assurance program designed toreduce their risks for the 2003 crop.

“This program, brought here by Oklahoma Farm Bu-reau, protects wheat producers in the case of yield or pricedecreases or a combination of both,” said Scott Bulling,Oklahoma Farm Bureau Crop Insurance crop programmanager.

“When we introduced this in 2000, half of producerswho had crop insurance switched to the revenue assuranceprogram. I strongly recommend it, especially in today’senvironment of both production and price risks. I’d alsorecommend they purchase the highest level of coveragethey can afford.”

The amount of protection varies from 65 to 75 percent,with the cost typically being $3 to $5 per acre. Bulling saidthe cost varies from county to county and with the amountof protection desired. The cost typically is slightly higherthan multi-peril crop insurance but less expensive thancrop revenue coverage.

“This is a revenue product rather than just crop insur-ance. It essentially is a money in the bank guarantee forwheat producers,” he explained.

Wheat producers still are allowed to sell their croptraditionally as well as collect the guarantee when theypurchase the revenue assurance coverage.

“OFB simply is trying to give producers options to reducethe risk of producing a crop. I certainly would recommendwheat producers looking at this program,” he added.

The deadline to bind coverage for the 2003 wheat cropis Sept. 30, 2002. Bulling said producers who are not surehow many acres of wheat they will plant can sign up by thatdate and provide the actual number of acres seeded later.

“They’re only charged for the acres they plant. Thepremium is not due until next summer,” he said.

“I urge producers to obtain this coverage through FarmBureau because we’re owned and operated by farmers andhave a good understanding of the needs of producers andthe desire to help them improve their bottom line.”

Oklahoma Farm Bureau has a toll-free number forwheat producers interested in the revenue assurance pro-gram. Producers who call 1-877-913-7475 will be put intouch with a crop protection specialist who will answer anyand all of their questions. That specialist also is authorizedto sell revenue assurance program coverage.

Bulling said producers also may obtain informationabout multiple peril, crop-hail, crop revenue coverage andCAT coverage by telephoning the same number.

Wheat producers can reduce risks for 2003 crop

Oklahoma wheat growers saw the average yield oftheir 2002 crop sag to 31 bushels per acre, the lowestlevel in six years. Oklahoma Farm Bureau’s revenue

assurance coverage -- “a money in the bank guaran-tee” -- can help producers eliminate some of the risksthey will face with their 2003 wheat crop.

Shannon Miller, is honored in both bronzeand other media. Olympic wrestler WadeWells is not overlooked, either.

There’s also a tribute to Oklahoma’stenure as host of the National Finals Rodeoand its many professional rodeo super-stars.

Oklahoma City’s 89ers (nowRedhawks) minor league baseball fran-chise and its Blazers ice hockey team arefeatured, too.

Hendricks also says there are plans todevote a section to athletes with NativeAmerican heritage.

In addition to the memorabilia, he saysthe museum also regularly provides edu-cational and motivational programs foryoungsters. Jackie Robinson’s BreakingBarriers program, which teaches youngpeople nine essential character values,along with substance abuse programs andhistorical programs are emphasizedheavily.

“We have lots of different studentgroups visit, ranging from eight to 10 to40 to 50,” says Hendricks. “Middleschool groups are the most popular. Ireally encourage the upper elementarykids to come since they are already beingfaced with temptations.”

The museum also has been working topromote the state’s rich athletic heritagenationwide. It initiated the Warren SpahnAward three years ago in recognition of theOklahoma left hand pitcher who lead theMLB in total wins (360), ERA andstrikeouts. The museum has commissioneda massive statue of Spahn, which will beunveiled as a part of Oklahoma’s centen-nial celebration.

Arizona Diamondback ace RandyJohnson has earned the award three con-secutive years, but is being threatened thisyear by Atlanta Braves star Tom Glavin.

“Johnson was honored to come (two outof three years to the presentation banquet)and said why wouldn’t he, because Spahnwas the greatest left hander ever,” saysHendricks.

“Our Warren Spahn Award has helpedgive us national recognition. We alsoestablished the Bill Teegins Award forexcellence in broadcasting. Last year itwent to John Rooney, the Chicago WhiteSox play-by-play man who started outwith the 89ers and the OCU Chiefs yearsago.”

The museum attracts about 4,000 visi-tors annually from across Oklahoma, thenation, Europe and Asia. Located at 315W. Oklahoma, it is open Monday, Tues-day, Friday and Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The museum is open1 to 5 p.m. Wednes-day and Thursday.Admission is free,but donations arewelcome.

“We have cor-porate sponsors,individuals andbusiness dona-tions. OklahomaFarm Bureau hasbeen one of ourcorporate sponsorsfor three years. Weare proud to be as-sociated with FarmBureau, the idealsit represents andthe programs it isaffiliated with.”

While the museum continues to house,promote and preserve the rich athleticheritage of Oklahoma, its focus remainswhat Hendricks calls its most importanttask:

“Inspiring today’s youth throughOklahoma’s athletic heritage.”

sports museum, which has helped it secureseveral small grants to help with funding.

“There are still hundreds of athletes wecould include. I’m just persistent enough tokeep asking teams, players and families toget memorabilia. I don’t say no to hardlyanything,” says Hendricks.

By Mike NicholsA prediction by a state veterinarian about

the West Nile Virus making an appearancein Oklahoma this year proved to be accu-rate when state officials confirmed that acrow found in Tulsa tested positive for thedisease.

Oklahoma Department of AgricultureVeterinarian Dr. Carey Floyd told theJOURNAL in June she felt the diseasewould make an appearance in the state bythe end of summer or by fall.

Her prediction was accurate when theOklahoma State Department of Health andthe Tulsa City-County Health Departmentconfirmed July 18 that a crow found inTulsa tested positive for West Nile Virus.

“We have a West Nile Virus positivecrow in the Tulsa area,” said Dr. Floyd,noting that it was the first detection of thevirus in Oklahoma.

She reiterated her earlier caution thathorse owners should have their animalsvaccinated against the virus. Horses re-quire two vaccinations to be protectedagainst West Nile, and the conditionallylicensed vaccine is available only to li-censed vets.

Dr. Floyd said that many horse ownershave contacted veterinarians to have theiranimals vaccinated against the virus, whichis carried by mosquitoes. Demand for the

Vet’s prediction is accurate: West Nile Virus is confirmedIndividuals should guard against mosquito bites

To decrease the opportunities for mos-quito bites, Oklahoma Department ofHealth officials suggest limiting outdoortime when there are high levels of mos-quito activity, usually in the early morningand at dusk.

If you go outside, wear long-sleevedshirts and long pants and use repellents

containing DEET. It also may be helpful towear light-colored clothing and limit use ofperfumes and fragranced lotions and sham-poos.

Health Department officials also sug-gest individuals take precautions to mini-mize mosquito-breeding locations aroundtheir homes and on their property.

vaccine has sent prices higher.She said vaccine costs and veterinary

charges for administering the vaccinationsvary greatly across Oklahoma, and recom-mended horse owners contact their localveterinarian to determine what their actualcost will be. The $20 vaccine-only esti-mated cost mentioned by an ODA spokes-person in the last edition of the JOURNALwas too low, according to Dr. Floyd.

West Nile Virus is spread by the bite ofan infected mosquito, and many timesshows up first in raptors, such as crows andblue jays. An increase in dead birds, par-ticularly crows, blue jays and raptors, is themost visible early warning of the virus.

Horses are susceptible to the disease.Dr. Floyd said a horse infected will havesymptoms manifested through central ner-vous system problems. The animals usu-

ally exhibit a wobbly or staggering walkand are unable to get up if they go to theground. Recovery is possible, but infectedequines do have a 30 percent mortalityrate.

Humans also are susceptible to WestNile. Persons who are bitten by infectedmosquitoes usually will develop only amild flu-like illness. The State Health De-partment reports that less than one percentwill develop the more serious complica-tions of encephalitis.

The State Health Department cautionsthat the West Nile infected crow couldhave been infected somewhere other thanthe Tulsa area since crows may fly severalmiles in a single day. Mosquito trappingand testing also have begun in Tulsa andother locations in the state to enhance WestNile Virus monitoring.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th

Circuit granted a request July 10 for stay,which allows the beef promotion programto continue without interruption while anappeal is pending.

A June 21 decision by a district court inSouth Dakota ruled that the Beef Promo-tion and Research Act is unconstitutionaland directed that the collection of assess-ments cease on July 15. However, the staypostpones the implementation of the SouthDakota court decision.

The stay was requested by the Depart-ment of Justice on behalf of the U.S. De-partment of Agriculture.

In annual independent surveys con-ducted since the launch of the beef check-off 15 years ago, producers have repeat-edly voiced strong support for the pro-gram. In the latest survey, released lastJanuary, about 68 percent of the producerssaid they approved of the program.

As a result of the order by the AppealsCourt, the beef promotion and researchprogram will continue to operate as normalduring the appeal process. Beef producersand importers must continue to pay beefcheckoff assessments.

Oklahoma producers generate more than$4 million annually in beef checkoff mon-ies. The Oklahoma Beef Industry Councilreceives 50 cents of each checkoff dollarand the remaining 50 cents is sent to theCattlemen’s Beef Board, where funds areused for promotion, education and research.

The checkoff raises about $85 millioneach year nationally.

Wild horses keep draggin’ me awayAnd I’ll lose more than I’m gonna win somedayWild horses just stay wildAnd her heart is all I breakWild horses keep draggin’ me away

Wild horses keep draggin’ me awayAnd I’ll lose more than I’m gonna win somedayWild horses just stay wildAnd her heart is all I breakWild horses keep draggin’ me away

• Garth Brooks, from his song “Wild Horses”

By Nicola XanthusCrested upon the green, rolling hills

near Bartlesville, wild mustangs graze lushpastures, running freely as their ancestorsonce did.

The animals make their home on theHughes Ranch, a long-term holding facil-ity for wild horses.

Owner-operator John Hughes becamea long-term holder of unadoptable wildhorses more than 13 years ago. He has acontract with the Bureau of Land Manage-ment (BLM) – the agency responsible forthe management and protection of wildhorses — to maintain up to 2,000 wildhorses.

“This,” said Hughes, “is a rest home forunadoptable wild horses.”

The life the horses experience on theHughes Ranch is similar to the one theyhave in the western states they once roamedfreely, but the quality is better. The ani-mals graze the native grass within OsageCounty, consisting of Big and LittleBluestem, Indian and Switch grass.

Hughes started in 1989, after close friendDan Gallery told him about an article he readin the Denver Post for a ranch to pastureunadoptable horses. Together they decidedto bid for the project, and the rest is history.Currently, Gallery and Hughes operate Tad-pole Cattle Company, holding some 1,919head, primarily geldings but some mares.

“We didn’t know what to expect in thebeginning, but we knew the furnished for-ages we would need,” said Hughes. “Wehave been pleasantly surprised and it hasbeen a great experience.”

Along with Tadpole Cattle Company,Hughes maintains another long-term hold-ing facility with his son, Robert. Togetherthe Hughes family runs 2,000 wild horses,primarily geldings.

Wild horses numbers on the range arecontrolled by BLM to protect the resourcesand maintain thriving herds. Wild horsesare removed from public lands that areover-populated and are offered to quali-fied adopters.

BLM gathers wild horses in 10 westernstates. The animals are separated into twogroups — younger and sounder horseswith a high potential to be adopted, and anolder group to be placed in a long-termholding facility.

The majority of wild horses capturedare hard-to-adopt older animals, accord-ing to BLM public affairs specialist Chris-tina Tincher. She said there was a need toestablish long-term holding facilities forthem to live out their lives.

There are only four long-term holdingfacilities in the United States, and theHughes operate two of them.

Tincher said the animals at the HughesRanch lead a good life.

“These horses are receiving a quality oflife that is better than before. The long-termholding program allows us to find homes for

Wild horses just stay wild

the most adoptable horses first while main-taining a quality of life for older horses.”

When the horses arrive at Hughes Ranch,they go through a 10-day process to becomeaccustomed to their new surroundings. After

Robert, left, and John Hughes oper-ate two of the four wild horse long-termholding facilities in the United States.

several days in small pens, horses are movedto bigger ones until they finally are placed inthe large fenced pastures. They are fed al-falfa so they will become familiar with itwhen they are supplemented with hay duringthe winter months.

“Wild horses must be handled in a carefulmanner,” said the younger Hughes. “They

do not like helicopters, hot air balloons or aman on horse. We move the wild horses byfeed truck and check them in vehicles.”

“We stock the land as we would withcattle, on an animal per unit basis,” said the

elder Hughes. “We will feed alfalfa hay fora range of 160 days in the winter monthswhen the grass is dormant.”

Along with the wild horses the Hugheshave a successful stocker cattle business.They currently are working with cattle-men from Florida. When they aren’tstocked to capacity with horses they runstockers, but the horses and cattle are nevercommingled.

“Our main goal as ranchers is the grass— to produce and maintain tame and na-tive grasses,” said Hughes. “Our basicproduct is grass. Livestock are the meansfor harvesting it.”

The Hughes provide a sanctuary forwild horses that is as close to a naturalsetting as possible, with the animals beingable to roam the land freely.

“They are virtually here to live in a freeroaming existence,” concluded Hughes.
