On Dec. 6, 2014, Tyreek Hill was a hero. Five days later, he started a chain of events that ended with the word “guilty” and no winners.

In a courtroom on the third floor of Payne Coun-ty Courthouse, Tyreek Hill stood in front of pre-siding Associate District Judge Stephen Kistler on Friday afternoon and said the only word that mat-tered: “Guilty.”

Hill, a former Okla-homa State football and track star whose 92-yard punt return tied last sea-son’s Bedlam game with less than a minute left, changed his plea from not guilty to guilty on a charge of domestic assault and battery by strangu-lation, stemming from

an incident on Dec. 11, 2014, when he beat and strangled his eight-week pregnant girlfriend at his home. The next day, Hill was dismissed from the OSU football and track teams. The 21-year-old is no longer a student at OSU.

Hill and his attorney, Jay Husbands, reached a plea agreement with the district attorney’s office that includes Hill receiv-ing three years probation; paying a fine of more than $1,000; giving a DNA sample; and taking an anger management course, a 52-week batterer’s course and a domestic abuse evaluation, as well as providing proof of em-ployment or enrollment as a full-time student. If he completes the three years probation and its require-ments, the charge will be expunged from his record.

“He is not a convicted felon; (he will serve) no time,” Husbands said. “He’s just got to complete

WALKING WITH JESUS!

Let’s consider important areas in following Jesus; areas that have challenged me. In Matthew 11:29 Jesus says, “ Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”We are encouraged and challenged to learn his way of life. It was his heart attitude toward God, his Father. H e chose to humble himself and become obedient to God. “... a body you prepared for me...I have come to do your will, O God.” (Heb.10:5,7 NIV) If we are to walk with Christ, we have to learn from him. You see this heart attitude all through his life; in his early growing years; during his active ministry and finally in his submission in going to the cross.

Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” This is a promise from Christ to all who follow. His light is life, the reality of God! H e has promised the light of reality as we follow. We can expect to experience his presence, encouragement and guidance as we follow. I have found this so in my life. He is alive so we can expect life!

“Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.” (1Co.10:33 11:l NIV) Paul was following Christ’s example of Love. He did not put himself before others, but chose God’s more perfect way; the way of love, giving and serving others. To give up self to minister to others by our lives and actions is so different from the natural life. However, it is the way in following Jesus. I want to encourage all to choose God’s way. It’s the best for now and eternity.

the requirements, and to his credit, he’s taken a great deal of initiative, and he’s already started several of these pro-grams.”

When Kistler asked Hill to describe what he did on Dec. 11 in his own words, Hill replied remorsefully.

“I did something I shouldn’t have done,” Hill said. “I let my feelings take control of me. … I’m sorry.”

Husbands added that Hill is two classes away from completing the anger management course.

“He took responsibil-ity,” Husbands said. “He said he was sorry, and he’s ready for this unfortunate situation to be behind him, to move on with his life, to

begin the next chapter.”Hill, who resides in

Georgia with his fam-ily, is permitted to live outside of Payne County and Oklahoma as part of the sentencing. He will be under supervision of Oklahoma Court Services for the first two years of his probation.

“Just like any other defendant that lives either out-of-county or out-of-state, they’ll just provide the supervising agency with what he needs to get done, so he’ll send in his enrollment, or he’ll send in his classwork, or he’ll send in those sorts of things,” Husbands said. “It’s nothing unusual.”

As far as Hill’s football future goes, Husbands

said Hill is focused on meeting his requirement of being a full-time stu-dent. Hill tweeted in April that he will attend Akron this school year but is not listed on the Zips’ football roster for 2015.

“What he wants to do next is to get back into school and get his college degree and become the first person in his family to get a college educa-tion,” Husbands said. “... He just wants to, No. 1, get this behind him and then move forward, get into school and see what happens from there.”

Tyreek Hill, just nine months ago an Oklaho-ma State hero, received three years of probation, plus a series of fines and court-mandated courses after he pleaded guilty to domestic assault and battery by strangulation.

All things considered, Hill’s plea agreement resulted in what seems like a light sentence. When Hill was ar-rested in December, his girlfriend – who was eight weeks pregnant at the time – told police Hill pinned her against a wall and put her in a chokehold for more than a minute. She said he punched her in the left eye. She said he ripped her shirt, grabbed her by the hair and began punching her in the left side of the stomach.

Hill will

avoid prison time and the charge will be expunged if he completes his three years’ probation. But even if the crime leaves his record, his reputation will forever be stained, stories of his legendary Bedlam punt return al-ways followed with what happened next.

It’s no win for his fam-ily. Hill’s grandmother, who took Tyreek home from the hospital and raised him as her own after his mother gave birth as a teenager, told the O’Colly Hill’s story last year. He came from a small Georgia town to become a world-class athlete and one of the most exciting players in the Big 12.

Now, Hill is out of the Big 12 and admitted to a monstrous act. His family’s pride is attached to a dark cloud. Hill’s breif words Friday included, “I did something I shouldn’t have. I let my feel-

ings take control of me. ... I’m sorry.”

The little public record shows about the situation reveals only sad things. Hill’s girlfriend told police there had been other instances of Hill being violent, but it had never been that bad. In November, Hill called police, saying his girl-friend wouldn’t leave the apartment. If there’s any more to the story, it never came out in a court of law.

This is certainly no win for his girlfriend, whose name likely would have never been splashed across the pages of this publi-cation nor

any other had her boy-friend not been a star athlete. An experience like this doesn’t just go away, no matter how strong the person.

It’s not a win for her, nor her infant son, who was born into a cruel world with a future al-ready more difficult than it had to be.

There’s no winner. The only justice is a series of words coming from a judge’s mouth.

Maybe there’s good that can come out of it. More spotlight on domestic violence. No free passes for athletes. Maybe reminders about the pre-

ciousness of our time on Earth, the fragility of it all.

But that’s probably reaching.

It makes me think of a line from Jack Kerouac’s “On the Road.”

“We lay on our backs, looking at the ceiling and won-dering

what God had wrought when He made life so sad.”

On Dec. 6, 2014, Tyreek Hill was a hero.

Six days later, he was dismissed from the

team.


Silky cream cheese and savory chili combine with a steaming hot dog to create one of the most sought after bites around Stillwater.

On Sept. 9, Dirty Curty will trade in its cart for a brick and mortar building, The Curty Shack, and move onto The Strip permanently.

“The possibilities are end-less now,” said Zac Cazzelle, Curty Shack co-owner. “We’re thinking about add-ing mac n’ cheese, mush-rooms and maybe even some pulled pork dogs to the menu.”

The Curty Shack will also offer beer and liquor, and will be open 5 p.m. – 2 a.m. Wednesday through Satur-day.

Dirty Curty owners Sarah and Zac Cazzelle said hav-ing a place on The Strip has always been their goal.

“On homecoming our first year out here, we didn’t have a place to set up,” Sarah said. “Most of

the corners were taken,

and we didn’t look like the cool kids on the block with our tiny little cart and no lights.”

The couple developed a relationship with Edwin Keoppe, the former Engraving Excellence owner, and he eventually let them sell on his corner.

“We offered to pay him, or really do whatever, just to have a place to

sell,” Sarah said. “He let us have it for a free dog.”

Sarah and Zac became that much closer to realiz-ing their dream a few years ago when they approached Keoppe with the proposi-tion of selling Engraving Excellence to them.

“We just told him, ‘Hey, if you ever want to sell, give us a ring,’” Zac said.

“About six months ago, we approached him again, and he told us to give him a number, so we did.”

The owners attribute their success to their deter-

mination to get their busi-ness off the ground.

“It’s perseverance,” Zac said. “For the first two years, we sat there on the corner as people drove by and laughed.”

In a matter of six years, the Stillwater staple has gone from nonexistent to nationally known, and people come from all over the country come to Stillwa-ter to get a taste, the couple said.

“I never imagined that it would turn into something like this,” Sarah said.

“We started out serving maybe 100 people all week-end. Now, we serve 1,000. I just feel blessed. Can’t explain it.”

Tradition is priceless, and chowing down at the Dirty Curty stand is a memory close to the hearts of many Oklahoma State students.

“We’ve had students come by with tears in their eyes because they’re having their last Curty,” Sarah said. “I love these kids, and I love what I do.”

COurtesy of dirty curty Dirty Curty started out on the corner of Fourth and Washington serving about 100 people every weekend. The owners said they now serve 1,000.

Saturday’s Puzzle SolvedBy Gail Grabowski and Bruce Venzke 8/24/15

It would be hard to come up with a better way to start a new season than with an impressive, dominant win — which is exactly what Oklahoma State did in its first game of the 2015 campaign.

The Cowgirl soccer team took down the Mer-cer Bears by way of a 2-0 victory on an unseason-ably cool Sunday after-noon in Stillwater.

With starting forward Courtney Dike sitting the season opener out because of hamstring tightness, the two goals came from rela-tively unheard of players. With eight minutes left in the first half, sophomore Holly Brehmer recorded her first career goal off of her own rebound.

“I got some minutes last year, but I never really got any stats or anything,” Brehmer said. “To have the first goal of the season for the entire team is huge.”

The second goal came from forward Haley Woodard. Allie Stephen-son gave a nimble cross

into the box to Woodard’s awaiting foot for the freshman’s first career goal in her first career game.

“It felt like practice, exactly what we’ve been working on, so I was re-ally excited,” said Wood-ard.

OSU (1-0) controlled the ball for seemingly the entire game, with Mercer (0-2) managing merely three shots on goal for the entire match, against OSU’s 26. The Cowgirls had several opportuni-ties to get the ball to the back of the net, but they were not able to convert as much as they ideally would have.

“Really the biggest negative was just finishing the chances, but in soccer, that’s always the hardest

thing to do,” OSU coach Colin Carmichael said. “You don’t expect to come in on two weeks training and just be scoring all the goals, so that’s what we’ll continue to work on.”

Despite a few missed opportunities, OSU looked impressive in its first season match, much to the delight of Carmi-chael and the rest of the team that endured an 0-6 start in 2014.

“We challenged our team to come out with a good mentality, to press the ball, to work very hard, to build the mo-mentum, to dictate the play to the other team,” Carmichael said. “We did all those things, so we’re really pleased there.”
