Oil pursued despite drought

ILLUSTRATION BY ORIANA LOVERA

This illustration describes the process of hydraulic fracturing. Finley Resources, Inc., an oil and gas company from Fort Worth, Texas, has used more than 400,000 gallons of Norman drinking water for fracturing.

Hydraulic drilling company uses abundance of drinking water

ARIANNA PICKARD • CONTINUOUS NEWS EDITOR

Day and night, Norman resident Patricia Askins hears a steady pounding from a hydraulic fracturing oper-ation just across the street from her home. Lying in

bed, she hears the sound of the pump mingle with a beeping noise warning people to get out of the way of trucks backing up at the site.

Askins said she was surprised by the late-night noises when the drilling operation began about a month ago on Franklin Road in east Norman.

“But my husband wasn’t surprised. He said, ‘They’re

digging a well. It’s a 24-hour operation. They don’t shut it off because it’s night. They keep digging,” Askins said.

But what surprised Askins even more was the discovery that the drilling company is using Norman’s drinking water to break up the rocks and retrieve oil.

While city officials advise residents to conserve their water because of an ongoing drought, Finley Resources, Inc., an oil and gas company from Fort Worth, Texas, has used more than 400,000 gallons of Norman drinking water for fracturing, said Shawn O’Leary, director of Public Works for the City of Norman.

There’s nothing illegal about this operation — Norman Mayor Cindy Rosenthal said the City of Norman issued the company a bulk water permit so the operators could connect their hose to a water hydrant near their drilling site.

Despite the legality of the situation, Rosenthal said the fact

that one company can buy thousands of gallons of drinking water for fracturing while Norman is still undergoing manda-tory water conservation has unveiled what she calls a “gap” in city policies.

Some common customers issued bulk water permits to connect to hydrants are nonprofit groups, who need the water for a car wash, or construction companies, who use the water to spray dirt down for dust control, Rosenthal said.

“Our policies at the moment are silent on differentiating [among] those,” she said. “So when this company came in, a clerk issued the permit just like any other person who comes in and asks for a bulk water permit.”

The city started receiving complaints after Sarah Terry-Cobo, a reporter for the Journal Record, reported that the company was using Norman’s potable water.

State-of-the-art lab opened Tuesday

KELLY ROGERSCampus Reporter@KellyRogersOU

The first two procedures were completed Tuesday in OU Medical Center ’s new, $20 million labora-tory following 10 years of construction.

S i m p l e p r o c e d u r e s that can quickly turn crit-ical wil l be done in the 20,000-square-foot facility, which houses cardiovascu-lar and electrophysiology technology.

Scott Coppenbarger, di-rector of public relations at OU Medical Center, said pulling these two disciplines of medicine together in one laboratory will enable safer

and faster care for patients.“Our business is sav-

ing lives, and this facil-ity is the total package,” Coppenbarger said.

With a combination of ex-perienced professionals and state-of-the-art equipment, the lab will also provide a place for OU medical stu-dents to observe and learn in an updated environment, Coppenbarger said.

“We are a teaching hos-pital,” Coppenbarger said. “Students in every aspect of our facility will be exposed to the new facility for an oppor-tunity to learn.”

Coppenbarger said this is not just a place where com-plex surgeries can be com-pleted and students can learn, but a place where lives will be saved.

The advanced equipment

will ensure patient safety with lower doses of x-rays delivered and clear, detailed results, according to a press release.

What sets this lab apart from others, Coppenbarger said, is the ability and equip-ment they have to break into a full open-heart surgery without having to move the patient.

“We expect to make full use of it,” Coppenbarger said.

The majority of the fa-cility’s funding came from the Hospital Corporation of America, OU Medical Center’s parent company.

The drinkability of the water used for hydraulic fracturing can’t ever be re-stored because it’s mixed with sand and chemicals, some of which are toxic, said Robert Puls, the director of the Oklahoma Water Survey at OU.

This fluid is then inject-ed under high pressure to break up rock formations un-derground. Once that rock cracks under the pressure, the sand that was mixed in with the water holds open the cracks so that water and oil will flow into the well, said Stan Paxton, a physical scien-tist with the Oklahoma Water Science Center.

Once the pressure is re-leased, around 20 to 50

long, such as economics pro-fessor Cynthia Rogers, who said she would “absolutely support a moratorium on hy-draulic fracturing using po-table water,” because careful water management is essen-tial to ensuring that Norman can grow.

Rosenthal said she’s asked city council members to meet later this month to discuss the current rates for a bulk water permit, whether there are alternatives other than potable water that might be used, the criteria for selling bulk water and how well the bulk water permits align with the city’s current conserva-tion policies.

“I think what we have here is an area of the law that in Norman is silent, and I think many of us on City Council are concerned and certain-ly don’t want to be sending mixed messages about the

importance of conservation,” Rosenthal said. “So we’re real-ly going to be looking hard at how do we fill that policy gap.”

W h i l e t h e d r o u g h t i n Norman isn’t as bad as it was two years ago, c i t y o f f i c i a l s still advise res-idents to con-s e r v e w a t e r because of un-

certainties associated with Norman’s water supply at Lake Thunderbird, Puls said.

With summer on the hori-zon, Puls said water con-sumption is only going to increase, and that’s when he believes using drinking water for hydraulic fracturing will become more of a cause for concern.

“If we’re in the summer still selling that amount of water, it will definitely be an issue,” he said.

This water hydrant connects drinkable water from the City of Norman to a hydraulic fracturing operation near Franklin Road in east Norman. This hydraulic fracturing operation near Franklin Road in east Norman uses water from the City of Norman to retrieve natural gas by using high pressure to pump the water under-ground.

percent of the water that was originally injected into the rock will flow back up to the surface, Puls said. Along with the injected water, water that was stored in the depths of the rock formation flows through the cracks and up to the surface.

There isn’t currently any way to treat this “flowback” water because it’s hard to know exactly what’s in it. It may contain natural ele-ments, such as metals and salt, as well as the chemi-cals used in the fracturing process, said Neil Suneson, a geology professor and ge-ologist with the Oklahoma Geological Survey at OU.

“It’s not the same as treat-ing sewage,” Suneson said. “We know what’s in sewage — it’s biological. You can get bugs to eat biological stuff in your water.”

So to get rid of this waste-w a t e r t h a t ’s been rendered undrinkable, it will be injected deep into the earth in under-ground waste-w a t e r w e l l s , Paxton said.

N o r m a n c i t y m a n a g -er Steve Lewis said at the April 8 Norman City Council meet-i n g t h a t c i t y officials have c o n s i d e r e d having oil and gas compa-nies use wastewater for hy-draulic fracturing instead of potable water, but this isn’t currently regulated by Oklahoma’s Department of Environmental Quality.

Besides issuing permits for using wastewater on a case-by-case basis, the depart-ment won’t finish develop-ing standards to issue waste-water permits to oil and gas companies until the summer of 2015, said Tim Ward, the department’s assistant direc-tor for external affairs.

But some Norman resi-dents don’t want to wait that

basketball

Guard leaves on positive note

RyAn GeRbosiMen’s Basketball Beat Reporter @RyanGerbosi

J e ’ l o n H o r n b e a k seemed to be the embod-iment of OU’s bright bas-ketball future when he started all but three games as a freshman.

But just one year later, the guard is leaving the program.

Coach Lon Kruger an-nounced Hornbeak’s de-cision to transfer Tuesday in a press release.

“It is always disappoint-ing when a player leaves a program,” Kruger said in the release. “But we all wish the very best for Je’lon.”

The Arlington, Texas, n a t i v e a v e r a g e d 5 . 4 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists in his two sea-sons with the Sooners.

Hornbeak spent some time running the point in his first year, but the emergence of freshman Jordan Woodard in 2013-14 limited Hornbeak’s minutes. He never started as a sophomore and av-eraged 18.2 minutes per game, down from 22.7 as a freshman. The guard also missed four games in December with a foot injury that lingered in the following weeks.

“The last two years, I had two sets of great teammates,” Hornbeak said in the release. “We really set the bar for the incoming freshmen (next year). Now it’s their job to keep raising that bar.”

As a Korean American, I am im-mensely proud of my heritage and culture because of its diverse his-

tory and delicious cuisine. I went to South Korea last summer to visit my family, and I will never forget exploring the streets of Seoul on my own.

Now, while I am not 100 percent fluent in Korean, I do know the Korean alphabet, basic grammar rules and everyday phrases. When I was applying to OU, I hoped I could enroll in Korean language classes to broad-en my knowledge of the language. Unfortunately, OU does not offer them.

There are currently 17 language courses available at OU: Spanish, French, German, Arabic, Cherokee, Choctaw, Creek, Greek, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Kiowa, Latin, Persian, Portuguese and Russian. I see no reason why Korean shouldn’t be added to that list.

Korean is a helpful language to learn because Korean businesses, such as Samsung and LG, are looking for bi-lingual applicants. Approximately more than 78 million people around the world speak Korean, so adding Korean language courses for students would be both economically and culturally beneficial.

Last week, I sponsored a piece of legislation in the Undergraduate Student Congress to distribute a survey to the student body regarding the addition of Korean classes, which passed with unanimous consent. I encourage my fellow Sooners to take time out of their schedules to fill it out. Once the survey is over, the polling results can be used as evidence for the department of modern languages to

provide a legitimate argument for adding Korean classes, especially if many students participate and the majority favor such an initiative.

Sooners will receive the virtual survey today through OU mass email and have until April 23 to fill it out. OU runs because of us, the students, and we have a right to make our voices heard when we see some-thing we want changed. So if you want OU to have Korean language classes, fill out the survey, and let administrators know stu-

dents need more choices for cultural learning.I understand that OU’s current budget situation is

tight, especially with the Oklahoma government refus-ing to invest more in higher education, so adding more classes might not be in the university’s immediate future. However, the department of modern languages should prepare for the future when the opportunity to hire more professors and offer more choices to students presents it-self. Elections happen, the economy grows and hopefully OU will see an influx of funds from the state government in the future.

Change will take time, and it is never easy. However, I am not afraid to push for more class choices for students, especially when it comes to empowering students with the practical skills and cultural awareness they will need to be successful in the 21st century.

Choosing sides on pay for playOur View: The issue of pay for play is complicated and requires careful consideration of both sides of the argument, which is what we’ve done to help you make your own decision.

The National Labor Relations Board decision, which considers Northwestern University football players employees and allow them to unionize, has made us think about the current state of athletes governed by the NCAA and whether pay for play is a good idea. We don’t pre-tend to have all the answers; this is an intensely nuanced issue that in-volves much more than just sports. It’s about young peoples’ lives and the way they are treated when they become college athletes. Instead of saying absolutely yes or no about the issue, we want to give you a few key points and let you, our readers, decide.

Players’ names and likenessesIt’s a misconception that every

single college football player is re-ceiving a full-ride scholarship. In fact, Division I universities are lim-ited to 85 scholarships for football, and not all of those are necessarily full scholarships. When you consid-er that major programs like OU have more than 100 men on the roster, it becomes clear that not every athlete’s time in college is a paid-for dream. And scholarship restrictions are more intense for smaller sports. For example, Division I schools can give out only 4.5 men’s golf scholarships, and it takes five men to have a full tournament team.

Not every college athlete sees scholarship money for their talents and, most shockingly, those players don’t even own their own names. They cannot profit from products using their likenesses or by charging for signatures. But the NCAA cer-tainly profits off those men’s and women’s names. Sure, football play-ers’ names aren’t on the backs of commercially sold jerseys, but their numbers represent them. All those No. 10 jerseys sold here at OU rep-resent Blake Bell, not just a random number. And athletes do not receive

compensation when you see them at events to autograph merchan-dise. We don’t know how to solve the problem of pay for play, but we do believe that athletes should own their own names and images and be able to charge for autographs or receive payment when video games use their likenesses and numbers.

Outdated rulesSome of the NCAA’s rules are un-

doubtedly archaic and illogical. Student-athletes can’t take advan-tage of all the offers regular stu-dents can, because of the NCAA’s overly-strict rules on booster con-tributions. For example, if a local restaurant offers a special free drink because the basketball team won a big game, normal students would think nothing of taking the free drink. However, athletes are barred from ac-cepting such an offer.

We understand the players repre-sent their universities and should be held to a higher standard, but many NCAA rules are overbearing and need to be re-evaluated.

Collegiate athletics is a privilege

On the flip side of the argument, playing sports in college is not some-thing you have to do; it’s something you choose to do. Ultimately, athletes do not have a right to play collegiate sports, so we can see why opponents of the Northwestern unionization decision say the scholarships are enough. NCAA rules do not prohibit players from taking out student loans, so why can’t that be an option to cover costs not met by scholarships? After all, loans are a reality for so many students who don’t play sports. The NCAA also has the little-known Student Assistance Fund that exists to help student-athletes pay for costs not covered by athletic scholarships, such as emergency trips home, cloth-ing and health insurance.

We also have to consider that col-legiate athletics is a launching pad to professional careers for athletes who excel. For those talented players, their professional salaries will cover all debt from college and then some. And for athletes who don’t have a

chance to go pro, they will have re-ceived a college education to enter the workforce. However, many peo-ple feel that athletes take easier class-es, choose easier majors and don’t have a focus on academics. We do not believe student-athletes should be encouraged to take easy courses, but we also know that college is what you make of it. Choosing a major is a personal decision, and we encour-age all students, not just athletes, to make the most of their time in the classroom.

Obviously, even a full athletic scholarship cannot cover every in-cidental expense associated with attending college, but there are out-lets for athletes to receive additional funds. While taking out student loans isn’t ideal, we can see both sides of the argument for and against paying players while they’re in college.

How do you decide how much money to give?

We understand the reasoning behind allowing Northwestern University football players to union-ize. After all, those men devote 50 to 60 hours of time per week to practice, more than many people put into a full-time job. Sometimes the “ath-lete” in “student-athlete” does seem to come first, and we can see why those players would want commis-erate pay. But how do colleges fairly decide how much money to pay their players? Northwestern is a unique ex-ample because it is a private univer-sity and can appeal to the National Labor Relations Board. Public uni-versities are governed by state laws, and considering that 24 states have right-to-work laws, we likely won’t be seeing football players at public uni-versities unionize anytime soon.

The Northwestern decision is im-portant because it has opened a national dialogue on players’ rights and NCAA rules. We aren’t sure how to reconcile concerns about pay for play, but we want you to know about some of the contributing issues and make your own decision.

Women’s Gymnastics

team dynamic sets oU apart from competitorsHere’s what makes Oklahoma’s

gymnastics team different from their competition: It is actually

a team. That may seem like nothing spe-cial, but it is rare in the cutthroat world of women’s gymnastics, which might just give it an advantage this weekend as it pursues a national title.

In a sport where each individual com-petes and contributes their own score to the team, it would be easy to come across as self-focused, like some of OU’s compe-tition this weekend — including No. 1 Florida, a team that talks about individual success and individual perfection. OU doesn’t work that way.

“Our team is a true team because we do not have one or even two people that carry our team. Instead, we have 17 young women that contribute in all different ways,” coach K.J. Kindler said.

So does OU’s mindset really give the team the edge in competition this weekend?

Look at it this way: Expecting perfection every time in any sport, especially in such an unpredictable one as gymnastics, puts too much pressure on the individual. If it comes up short, who is there to build them up? No one. It is forced to take all the weight of it upon itself. This is where OU really separates from the pack.

The team supports one another. The players would rather sit out an event and allow their teammate to get the “glory” than to get it themselves. They have a team that will lift them up if they make a mistake and not think twice about it, because that is what a team does.

“It is all in an effort for us to get things done. It is always a team effort. Each group — the beam team, the bar team, etc. — has their own individual agenda, but they all come together,” Kindler said.

OU has shown this team focus all year, even in indi-vidual scores, including the perfect 10s from sophomore Haley Scaman. She has two perfect scores this year, but time and time again, she relates it back to the team and

Jennifer Rogersjennifer.rogers-1@ou.edu

SportS columniSt contributing what she can.“I get more excited for everyone else. I

don’t really get excited for my individual scores, just how they contribute to the team,” Scaman said.

In an emotional and stressful situa-tion, such as the NCAA Championships, having a team compete will prevail over a group of individuals wearing match-ing leotards. This Oklahoma team has a spark that is undeniable, which has propelled it through injuries and diffi-

cult personal situations and will propel it through the NCAAs in its quest for the first National Championship in program history.

Yes, this team’s mindset does matter and does give it a leg up on the competition. A cohesive, supportive foundation removes the pressure. The more comfort-able an individual feels with the strength of the team, the less pressure is put on the individual.

In the words of the Michael Jordan, “Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.”

The school of music will present a performance of traditional music and dance by Native American dance troupe Oklahoma Fancy Dancers at 8 tonight in Sharp Concert Hall.

T h e p e r f o r m e r s w i l l d e m o n s t r a t e p o w w o w music, a traditional style of dance where different tribes who do not know each other come together and share their dances.

Kevin Connywerdy found-ed the Oklahoma Fancy Dancers troupe with his step-dad, Steve Littleman, in 1996. The Fancy Dancers have been involved in performing concerts across the state and the world.

The troupe has returned to OU every year since its inception for special perfor-mances, according to Native American and world music professor Paula Conlon.

T h e p e r f o r m e r s i n -clude director, fancy danc-er and hoop dancer Kevin Connywerdy, head singer John G. Hamilton, straight dancer Zack Morris, straight dancer and flute player Terry Tsotigh, fancy shawl danc-er Leslie Deer and cloth and buckskin dancer Kricket Rhoads-Connywerdy.

T h e g ro u p b r i n g s t o -gether all of the popular styles of dance and song from Oklahoma’s diverse native cultures, Rhoads-Connywerdy said. Through m o v e m e n t , t h e Fa n c y Dancers combine profes-sional Native American style with education on the history

of Native Americans.“We are well known be-

cause we know what we are talking about, and we know our history, where it comes from, why we do it and how it involves what we do today,” said Rhoads-Connywerdy.

Each member of the Fancy Dancers group holds dis-tinctive merit and expertise in their individual craft, and they collaborate to create a unique group of dancers and singers, according to the troupe.

School to showcase piece from a world-renowned choreographer

The University of Oklahoma Theatre and School of Dance presents Contemporary Dance Oklahoma (CDO) at 8 p.m. April 25, 26 and 30 and May 1 through May 3 and 3 p.m. April 27 in the Rupel J. Jones Theatre, 563 Elm Ave.

The program is a medley of new choreographed works by the school of dance as well as a piece by guest cho-reographer, Jessica Lang, called “A Solo in Nine Parts,” according to a press release.

Lang is a world-renowned contemporary dance chore-ographer who graduated from The Juilliard School and has created more than 80 works. Her piece will be one of the highlights of the program, according to the press release.

Derrick Minter, assistant professor of modern dance and associate artistic director for CDO, said it is a great opportunity to have Lang share her sheer knowledge on dance, as far as technique goes. This year the program will be “very classical with a modern tweak,” he said.

Tickets are $22 for adults, $18 for seniors, military and OU faculty and $14 for students at the fine arts box office.

With the growing number of tours and time spent to-gether, the current members of Oklahoma Fancy Dancers are a tight-knit group of

performers.“We are essentially a fam-

With their bond, the group has been able to amass con-siderable renown through their tours.

Art rejuvenates downtown oklahoma city

Tony BeaulieuLife & Arts Editor @tonybe787

Fowler Honda of Norman will sponsor the comic book-themed community event “Superheroes” from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday on historic Film Row in downtown Oklahoma City.

“Superheroes” is the latest installment in a series of events in historic Film Row supported by Fowler known as Premier on Film Row.

Kendall Brown, Executive Director of the Individual Artists of Oklahoma (IAO) Gallery is also acting as volun-teer coordinator for Friday’s art walk.

Premiere on Film Row is a regular event that takes place the third Friday of each month to help promote local artists and venues in the OKC area, Brown said.

Although it sponsors many events, including exhibits by local artists and film screenings, Friday’s festivities will in-

clude a free outdoor concert by Oklahoma City rapper Jabee, Brown said.

“He’s actually going to be down here performing music from his new album ‘Everything Was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt,’” Brown said.

Brown said Premiere on Film Row has being going strong since it’s debut in April 2013 because of how it benefits local artists, and because it sponsors free activities that appeal to the whole family.

“You can come down and have an entire evening of fun for the whole family and not spend any money, potentially,” Brown said.

To tie into the evening’s theme of superheroes, there will be a mask-making station for children, and The Paramount will host a free outdoor screening of Pixar’s “The Incredibles,” Brown said.

For art lovers, the evening will feature 30 to 50 local art-ists selling vintage and repurposed items, as well as origi-nal works of art, sponsored by intellectual law firm Dunlap Codding and hosted outside of their community events center, DC on Film Row.

“They don’t take any commission, which means when people come down here and purchase from these artists, they know that 100 percent of their purchase is going di-rectly to the artist,” Brown said.

DC on Film Row Director and shareholder Doug Sorocco said the event is an opportunity to bring more people to the growing business district.

“Being on Film Row, it’s part of our mission as a company

to reach out and help the community grow and strengthen,” Sorocco said.

Local artists and crafters will be selling ev-erything from jewelry to clothing to toiletries — one artist will even be selling steampunk accessories, Sorocco said.

When the Premiere on Film Row initia-tive began a year ago, Sorocco said it was a no-brainer for DC on Film Row to get involved.

“It was a natural fit for us to be able to put on programming,” Sorocco said. “To provide people within the Oklahoma City communi-ty a place to congregate, have a nice time and basically have a family-friendly event.”

Blake Behrens, graphic designer and co-owner of clothing shop The Okay See, said the monthly Premiere on Film Row events have vastly contributed to the resur-gence of the once dilapidated Film Row.

“This district was once a very dangerous place to walk around, and now it’s a vibrant, active district in our city — it’s a great place to be right now,” Behrens said.

The Okay See has contributed to Premiere events since it moved into The Hub, a space on Film Row which also houses industrial design firm Bent and horticultural retail-er The Plant Shoppe.

“We’ve been having a local musician come out and

play every month,” Behrens said. “And we debut a new shirt design based on the group performing at every Premiere on Film Row.”

Ke n n y Ma d i s o n ’s hy b r i d i m p rov and stand-up comedy troupe Oak City Comedy per for ms regularly at The Paramount during Premiere on Film Row every month.

“I remember whenever [the district] was kind of dilapidated and there really wasn’t much going on, and now whenever I go to Film Row every third Friday to do our show, it’s full of life and energy,” Madison said. “It’s been a great shot in the arm, not just for Film Row, but for Oklahoma City in general.”

H i s t o r i c F i l m R o w e n c o m p a s s -es Sheridan Avenue between Dewey

and Shartel avenues in Oklahoma City. Once the hub of Oklahoma’s film exchange during the golden era of silent film, the district known as Film Row was officially declared an historic landmark in 2006, and has since been renovat-ed into a bustling business and arts district.
