A prediction for more frequent and stronger earthquakes in Still-water hasn’t panned out.

Last year, South African ge-ologist Chris Hartnady released a study that warned Guthrie, Langston and Stillwater areas of earthquakes, called GLS, would experience weekly magnitude 5 earthquakes starting in late 2015.

Hartnady said the fault lines run-ning east and west near the cities make an epicentral alignment, in which several fault lines are close together. The faults he talked about connect to the Nemaha and Wil-zetta faults, some of Oklahoma’s largest.

The large amounts of saltwater being pumped into the earth are possibly prompting larger earth-quakes, according to Hartnady’s study. Saltwater disposal wells are common in the GLS area.

“If a major part or the whole of the GLS structure is accidentally re-activated in a low-stress-drop re-gime by wastewater injection, it is capable of generating a significant earthquake in the range Mw5.5-6.5 or greater,” according to the study.

But magnitude 5 earthquakes aren’t the new normal in the GLS.

Soon after Hartnady’s study came out, Oklahoma Corporation Commission enacted new rules on wells near earthquake epicenters.

The OCC required wells in

Oklahoma and Logan counties to cut back 38 percent of injected wastewater in August 2015. The restriction affected 23 saltwater dis-posal wells between the counties.

Todd Halihan, Oklahoma State geology professor, said the OCC rules might have affected the prediction, but it is more likely because of the economy.

“With the price of oil being down, a lot of injection has slowed down because of economics,” Halihan said. “So both of those fac-tors have changed the amount of in-

jection from when Chris’s analysis occurred dramatically.”

Halihan said with the price of oil being so low, it gives scientists more time to find answers and ways to avoid another magnitude 5 tremor.

There were 35 magnitude 3 or higher earthquakes in 2012. Since Feb. 20, there have been 36, ac-cording to earthquaketrack.com.

The largest earthquake this year occurred Feb. 13 in Fairview. The magnitude 5.1 quake hit the town and became the fourth-largest

earthquake in Oklahoma, accord-ing to the USGS.

Fairview has had 40 earthquakes of 1.5 or greater magnitude since March 20, according to earthqua-ketrack.com.

Halihan said Oklahoma has been lucky so far with earthquake place-ment. Both magnitude 5 earth-quakes have been in remote areas, but he said future quakes might be in more populated places.

“The Earth doesn’t exactly go along with you on your plans,” Halihan said.

Three magnitude 3 quakes were recorded last weekend near Still-water. The first was March 19 in Perkins, second March 20 in Yale and the last March 20 in Perry.

Hartnady’s study stated the earthquakes work in cycles of accelerated seismic release. Oklahoma’s first cycle started in 2008 and led to the magnitude 5.6 earthquake in 2011 in Prague.

“When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, your lives will produce these evil results: sexual immorality, impure thoughts, eagerness for lustful pleasure, idolatry, participation in demonic activities, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, divisions, the feeling that everyone is wrong except those in your own little group, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other kinds of sin.” ( Gal.5:19 21 NLT)“But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives, he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control” (Gal.5:22-23 NLT)The first nature is the one we all inherit when we enter this world. It develops in different ways through different circumstances, but the fruit is similar to the scripture mentioned above; it is very self-centered, and cannot please God. The second nature mentioned is fruit that comes with the work of the Spirit of God.

The Holy Spirit is freely given by God to every true believer in Jesus Christ, his Son. We are told not to grieve or quench the Spirit of God. The Bible tells that these two natures are in conflict with one another. “For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature.” (Gal.5:17 NIV) So the Apostle tells us, “...live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature.” (Gal.5:16 NIV) S o victory or triumph over the sinful n ature is not a matter of strong self effort or obeying outward religious rituals. It is a matter of allowing the Holy Spirit, who is in every true believer, to work and control our lives more and more. Can the Holy Spirit accomplish this? T he apostle makes this statement; “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.” (Eph.3:20 NIV His ability, his power can get the job done! Does God want to do it? Again, the apostle speaks: “...it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.” (Phil.2:13 NIV) Y es, God wants to do it, and has freely given us his Spirit to bring it to pass. The challenge is to trust him!

After the jury delib-erated for more than 12 hours, a mistrial was declared in the case of a former Oklahoma State student.

Tristen Leanne Taylor, 19, was charged with first-degree manslaughter in connection to the death of OSU student Alexander Vierling on Dec. 21, 2014.

The jury reached an 8-4 vote at 11:30 p.m. Friday, and jurors agreed there was no reasonable probability of a unanimous verdict in the case.

After ruling a mistrial, Payne County Associate District Judge Stephen Kistler ordered Taylor to return to the court-house for a hearing at 1:30 p.m. April 20.

Family and friends packed the Payne County Courthouse on Friday to hear closing argu-ments in the weeklong trial.

Police said Taylor shot and killed Vierling, 21, at a party at an apartment in the 500 block of South West Street the evening of Dec. 20, 2014. Vierling suffered a gunshot wound to the forehead, police said. He was transported to OU Medical Center where he was pronounced dead Dec. 21.

Vierling showed several people at the party his revolver and removed the cylinder and displayed a single bullet, ac-cording to the affidavit.

Taylor was sitting next to Vi-erling on a couch and saw the .22 Magnum revolver on his left thigh, the affidavit states. Taylor had the gun in her hand and Vierling reportedly told Taylor, “You won’t shoot me with it.” Taylor pointed the gun at Vierling and the gun fired,

according to the affidavit.When police arrived, Taylor

reportedly raised her hands and shouted, “I shot him. It was an accident. I thought it was a toy, and he said ‘shoot me,’” the affidavit states.

During closing arguments, Taylor’s attorney, Cheryl Ramsey, pointed out that only one witness said Taylor put the gun to Vierling’s head and pulled the trigger.

The night of the incident, Taylor was transported to the Stillwater Police Department, where she told officers she had consumed alcoholic beverages at the party. Taylor said she asked Vierling why he had a gun and told him she was going to take it from him. She said Vierling told her not to take the gun and asked her how drunk she was.

Taylor said she believed Vierling handed her the gun. She recalled Vierling saying, “You won’t shoot me with it,” to which she replied, “It’s not real why does it even matter?” according to the affidavit.

Taylor said the gun was in her hand, but she did not recall

pointing the pistol or pulling the trigger, the affidavit states. She said she heard a loud pop and Vierling leaned over. She said she saw blood coming from Vierling’s nose.

Attorneys for the state, Kevin Etherington and Wil-liam Pierce, during closing arguments reminded the jury of inconsistencies in Taylor’s

testimony and said being sorry doesn’t qualify as justice.

Taylor was arrested and posted her $75,000 bond Jan. 21, 2015.

Kistler said Taylor will remain at liberty on her present bond.

OSU club baseball team gearing up for the fall

Baseball at Oklahoma State will soon expand beyond the walls of Allie P. Reynolds Stadium.

As early as next fall, OSU could have a com-petitive club baseball team.

The team exists in thanks in large part to finance junior Shane Routon.

“I was under the impression you couldn’t start a baseball club if the school had a Division I (baseball) team,” Routon said. “Then I saw they had a girls soccer club team, which made me wonder if there could be a

baseball team.”

Along with being the founder and president of the newly established club, Routon is the trea-surer of the Archery club and Colvin Center repre-sentative of the Shotgun Sports Club.

Devin Hudson, the club’s vice president and business management junior, said he joined the club because he missed playing the game he loves.

“It’s a great release from the daily grind of being a student,” Hudson said. “And I wanted to do something to be more involved with OSU.”

Hudson, 32, played baseball in high school, after which he served in the Air Force for four years.

“I have been away from baseball for 14 years,” Hudson said. “This club was a great opportunity, and it’s a great opportuni-ty for anyone who wants to get back in touch with the game.”

The team has been practicing twice a week

throughout this school year and will hold an intersquad scrimmage April 3.

The club’s goal is to compete in the Na-tional Club Baseball Association in the fall. They would play against other college club teams around the nation.

The team raises money to reach this goal through fundraisers, member dues and the club’s GoFund-Me account.

Freshman Chaz Rob-inson said he joined the club to stay involved on campus and for his love for the game.

“I missed playing baseball,” Robinson said. “This is a chance for me to get back involved with it and just be able to have fun and be out there with different guys.”

Robinson played up un-til ninth grade, and only stopped playing because his school didn’t have a baseball team.

The team consists of about 15 players, most of whom played competitive baseball in the past.

“This team at least gives me the opportunity to get out there and play (baseball) again,” Robin-son said.

Brad Underwood rested his head on a pillow at 4 a.m. March 21, hours after his Stephen F. Austin team suffered a heart-breaking exit from the NCAA Tourna-ment.

His mind finally began to settle, but his dreams were only beginning to be real-ized.

Two days later, he stepped onto Eddie Sutton Court, his family in tow, those dreams a reality.

Wednesday, Underwood was officially introduced as Oklahoma State’s next men’s basketball coach. His wife and three children sat at his left. Board of Regents chair Joe Hall, athletic director Mike Holder and three fam-ily members of OSU coach-ing legend Henry Iba, son Moe and nephews Skip and Gene, sat to his right. Cow-boy basketball players, cur-rent and former, sat in rows behind him.

In front of Underwood, OSU fans filled seats that had often been empty in a season that left the coaching position vacant as well.

To the group of newly inspired Cowboy faithful, Underwood smiled.

“This day means a great deal to me,” Underwood said. “It’s actually a dream come true.”

***When Holder met Under-

wood on Monday morning in Oklahoma City, everything Holder heard from others was confirmed.

Underwood was down to earth. A Kansas State product, he carried with him the same Midwestern charm one would expect out of a Stillwater native.

A last-second loss to Notre Dame in the second round of the NCAA Tour-nament left Under-wood crushed, but for the first time, he could think beyond Stephen F. Austin.

Waiting for the plane to take off from Brooklyn, New York, he told SFA athletic director Robert Hill, “This is going to get crazy,” knowing other schools were about to come calling.

But one already had.Saturday, after the

14th-seeded Lumber-jacks defeated third-seeded West Virginia, Holder called Hill, detailing his interest in Underwood.

Hill had one re-

quest. He told Holder to not talk to Underwood until SFA was out of the tournament, attempting to avoid distrac-tions for his Cinderella team.

Holder complied, so the next day, when

Underwood approached Hill on the runway,

Hill deliv-ered the

news of OSU’s inter-est.

“That’s the one,”

Underwood said.

The next night, he said goodbye to a

successful three-year run at SFA

and was announced as the Cowboys’ replacement for Travis Ford.

The process was quick, but for Holder to land the man he wanted, it had to be. He had done research for weeks, Underwood firmly locked in as the Cowboys’ No. 1 candi-date if Holder was forced to move on from Ford.

“After they lost, all we wanted to know was how soon can (Underwood) get to Stillwater, Oklahoma, because we want to meet him, and we don’t think this is going to take very long,” Holder said. “You have to have something in place, and that’s what happened.

I know everybody says, ‘Well, you hire a coach

in 48 hours?’ but if you don’t, you might not

have a coach.”***

When Under-wood first visited OSU as a recruit in 1984, Bill Self greeted him.

Underwood, from McPher-son, Kansas, was looking for a school to spend his final two years of basketball eligi-bility. Self, a guard at OSU, hosted his visit, trying to persuade Underwood to join the Cowboys.

Instead, he went to Man-hattan, Kansas, to play for the Wildcats.

It paid off for OSU in the present.

At K-State, Underwood played under Jack Hart-

man, who played at

OSU for Iba. From Hartman, Underwood learned many of Iba’s teaching.

In each of Underwood’s games in what was then Gal-lagher Hall, he felt the inten-sity of the orange faithful.

“I remember going into the huddle for timeouts and not being able to hear,” Underwood said during his introductory news confer-ence Wednesday. “And that was probably a good thing because we were on the wrong end of the scoreboard. I’m always impressed when you walk into an arena and people ooh, ah and clap and you hear a gasp when a play happens. Because that means you’ve got educated fans. You have people who under-stand and that was here.”

Those memories remained firm in his mind, even as he embarked on two decades as an assistant coach, including six at his alma mater.

Serving as an assistant un-der Bob Huggins in his first year at K-State, Underwood gave fellow assistant Frank Martin some stadium advice.

“I can remember telling Frank Martin, ‘Wait until you go to Gallagher-Iba. You’ve never seen anything like it. It’s one of the loudest and most intimidating places,’” Underwood said. “Sitting over on that visiting bench, it was unbelievable. He left saying, ‘Wow,’ and when you got Frank to say wow, it was

‘A dream come true’: Underwood more than happy in new home

one year, Martin for four and Bruce Weber for one.

Then, the opportunity opened up at SFA, his first head-coaching job outside of the community college ranks. He took advantage.

He tied former Butler coach Brad Stevens for the NCAA record for most victories in a coach’s first three seasons. He led the Lumberjacks to two NCAA Tournament appear-ances. He won Southland Conference Coach of the Year three times and coached the conference’s player of the year three times, losing only once in conference play. His 86.4 win-ning percentage leads all active coaches.

Holder said during the news conference if you’re look-

ing for someone to be OSU’s coach, the list starts with Self, who has led Kansas to 12 consecutive conference titles. However, Holder said when he put together a realistic list of candidates based on fit, experi-ence and success, Underwood was at the top.

“I can’t believe how lucky we were,” Holder said. “I’m not predicting great things, that he’s going to change the world of basketball as we know it. I’m just saying that we’ve got a guy who our fans and athletes are going to love.

“All things considered, I think that Brad Underwood, for Oklahoma State University at this point in time, was clearly, absolutely, no question, the No. 1 candidate.”

***

With an orange tie around his neck, Underwood stood on the court named for Sutton and the arena named for Iba, seemingly uniting two different eras of Cowboy basketball.

The past and present of Cowboy basketball sat behind his shoulders, while its future rested on them.

For Underwood to accom-plish his goals for the pro-gram’s success, he needs fan support. For the tradition and history of the arena to truly come to life, it requires the rowdy Underwood remembers.

He called to the fans seated in front of him.

“We can’t do this without you,” Underwood said. “This is not about me. This is not about the athletes. This is about filling this arena because of the

tradition and the culture. Those are the two hardest things there is to find. It takes years and years to develop tradition; and the Ibas and the Suttons, that’s as big as it gets. We are privi-leged, you are privileged, I am privileged to be here because of them and that means a great deal to me.”

History defines OSU. Fifty-one national championship banners hang from the GIA rafters, two for men’s basket-ball championships won under Iba. Names of the school’s greats are immortalized around campus.

Wednesday, the potential existed for another mark in that historical timeline.

“This is a great day for the Cowboy basketball program,” said public address announcer

Larry Reece, who emceed Underwood’s introduction. “… A historic day in this historic arena.

“This is a great day, a great day for Oklahoma State Uni-versity.”

Guard Phil Forte said he is among those wishing for that tradition to return. He an-nounced Wednesday he will return for a fifth season after an injury-marred 2015-16 cam-paign.

“He’s won in the NCAA Tournament; that’s something I can’t say I’ve done,” Forte said. “That’s what excites me. Before I leave here, I wanna say not just I’ve won a game, but you know, made a run in it, go to the Sweet 16, maybe

the Elite Eight, Final Four, something like that, and try to bring some of that tradition to OSU.”

Hall said he thought after his meeting Monday with Underwood that he and the Board of Regents had found the coach to bring that tradi-tion back.

“We were all extremely impressed,” Hall said. “We left our meeting knowing we’d hired the right person to lead our men’s basketball program back to the top, and that’s where we all want to be.”

To be at the top, home-court advantage will have to back OSU.

The Cowboys were a medio-cre 8-8 at GIA this season.

“The rowdiest arena in

America, we have to get back to that,” Underwood said. “We have to make this miserable for opponents, and we’ll do that.

“We’re going to guard, we’re going to rebound, and we’re going to make life tough as hell for everyone we play.”

A change in coach fuels a change in attitude. A change in attitude fuels a change in attendance.

That change in attendance could spark a change in win percentage.

It’s a dream come true.“I couldn’t be happier,”

Underwood said. “My heart’s filled with joy because I’m here.”

Amy White had no idea what she accomplished, but she knew it was something big.

A senior member of the Oklahoma State eques-trian team, White entered the small, dirt-covered equitation arena immedi-ately adjacent to the Cowgirl Equestrian Barn, a place she called home for the past four years, looking only to do her part with a Big 12 title on the line. She had no idea she was going to secure the title in a 13-6 victory against Baylor.

But a few minutes later, White exited the arena to thunderous applause from friends, family, teammates and coaches alike. With her 163-155 victory against Baylor’s Alicia Gasser, the Big 12 Equitation on the Flat Rider of the Year, White scored the 10th and final point the Cowgirls needed to win their fourth conference title in five years, and her teammates knew it.

White didn’t.“I did not know that, but

I was definitely aware of it afterward,” White said. “I heard kind of an eruption

from the crowd after my point was called. It was a really good feeling.”

After besting TCU with an uneven performance Friday, the second-seeded Cowgirls rolled through top-seeded Baylor (13-4 overall, 6-2 Big 12) with a second-half surge Saturday to secure their fifth conference title. It was argu-ably their most dominant performance of the year, but, as it has been all season, it was a team effort.

Coach Larry Sanchez, who has been at the front of all five conference champi-onships, said he was proud of the way all of his girls stepped up.

“Every year is just like the first time,” Sanchez said. “It’s very exciting. Every year, it’s a different team, and we’re very proud of their hard work and what they put into it throughout the year. To finish strong like this at the conference championship is just awesome.”

It wasn’t always easy, though.

The Cowgirls (8-5, 7-1) entered the halftime break nursing a 5-4 lead after the horsemanship team escaped with a 2-2 tie, and the fences team edged out a 3-2 victory.

OSU then rattled off six straight points to start the second half, claiming the title and leaving last year’s champions playing for pride.

When the dust settled and the awards were handed out, the Cowgirls gathered around their new trophy to hoist it high in the air and celebrate off in the corner of Totusek Arena, friends and family surrounding them.

After two days of grueling competition in the wind and sun, it seemed as if the hard-est part of their weekend was deciding who got to hold the trophy first.
