Everyday egg hunt

CHEYENNE SMITH Life & Arts Reporter

Before the sun makes its appearance in the sky and the chickens begin to stretch their wings and roam the grass, a Shawnee farm-er gets out of bed to begin his daily routine. He goes to the cooler, grabs his eggs and loads them into his truck then heads toward the crimson city on his daily route. He makes his stops on campus at Cate, Couch and Headington Hall before stopping at Crossroads, one of the big vendors of his product. SEE EGGSPERT PAGE 2

eggspert: Staff member supplies eggs for OUContinued from page 1

T h e o l d - f a s h i o n e d f a r m i n g t e c h n i q u e Burnett uses to raise his c h i cke n s wa s e x a c t l y what the students want-ed at the university. Thus began the seven years (and counting) relation-ship between Burnett’s eggs and the university.

The students’ mass consumption of eggs be-came overwhelming for Burnett at first. Daily egg hunts were like running a one-

man show w ith only 20 chickens.

“It’s like little kids walking around Easter egg hunting every day,” Burnett said.

For additional help, he hired his children and pro-vided them with their first real jobs.

“It’s becoming more of a lifestyle, which is kind of cool,” he said.

He then bought more chickens and began to col-laborate with four other families on the outskirts of Shawnee.

Burnett now supplies the University of Oklahoma

with 14,000 eggs w e e k l y a n d

60,000 eggs monthly.

Burnett has a farm, Bradley t. Burnett Farm, which provides crossroads, headington and cate with locally-grown eggs.

Crossroads has honored Burnett for his hard work by naming a burger after him: the Brad Burnett Fried Egg Burger.

Michelle McDonald, who was looking forward to sat-isfying her talking stom-ach, decided to order her first Brad Burnett Fried Egg Burger after touring the university campus.

At t h e f i r s t d e ca d e nt

bite, she appeared to be in a trance. She licked the cheese and yolk off of her fingers as to savor every de-licious moment.

The corner of Lindsey and Berry has looked a little lonelier without the presence of Texadelphia, which had been a Norman staple for 10 years before its clo-sure in 2013. Recently, however, some construction has been going on at the site. The old building has been torn down and is being replaced by another, newer bar and restaurant named Big Dog Daddy’s Ice House.

The ice house is one of the newest ventures of the Hal Smith Restaurant Group, according to The Lawton Constitution. So, if the name of the ice house may seem familiar, it’s thanks to partner Toby Keith. The ice house is named after his 2007 album and song, “Big Dog

Daddy.”Another Big Dog Daddy’s Ice House location is being

opened in Lawton and should ready for customers by the end of the year, according to the article.

Though the restaurant has already been listed in the Yellow Pages at Texadelphia’s former address, calls to the number listed for the new restaurant at 3:12 p.m. and 4:39 p.m. were left unanswered. A message left for the Hal Smith Restaurant Group at 3:29 p.m., as well as a follow up call at 4:42 p.m., also went unanswered.

No opening date has been made available for the Norman restaurant.

Many women dream of being an inter-collegiate athlete, but relatively few are offered scholarships coming out of high school. For those students looking for an athletic team to join, the rowing and cross-country novice teams are the way to go.

A novice team is designed with new athletes in mind, much like a junior var-sity squad in high school. Novice team members usually have no prior experi-ence in their team’s sport, and the pur-pose of the novice team is to learn the sport and develop skills during their first year on the roster. Many novice athletes advance to the varsity squad during their second or third year with the team.

One sport that makes extensive use of its novice team is rowing. The novice team has an informative meeting the first week of class, followed by tryouts a few weeks later. Those se-lected for the novice team train and travel all year, just as the

varsity team does.Rowing at OU has two seasons: the

fall season, which runs September through November, and champi-onship season, which runs March through May. The rowing team won its first Big 12 Title in 2013, and with a ros-ter of over 50 team members, it is the largest women’s varsity sport at OU.

The other novice team is the novice cross-country team. This team is com-posed entirely of women who are all distance runners.

“This is an opportunity to work their way into a varsity spot,” Jason Dunn, associate head cross country coach, assistant track and field coach and head of the novices, said. “The idea is it’s an opportunity for women who are

runners who may have some talent for it but don’t have a tre-mendous amount of experience.”

There is ample opportunity to work up to a varsity spot on this young team for women who are motivated to do so. Last year’s cross-country team had 14 athletes, 13 of whom were true freshmen.

“I have seen some women running around this campus

3. Waymon storey Jr. races to the finish line in this June’s track meet.

Inexperienced players can still participate by joining as novices

who look like they could help us, if they are interested,” Dunn said.

Like rowing, the cross-country novice team works year-round. Because everyone on the novice team is on the cross-country team, they are also a part of track and field.

“Everyone on the cross-country roster is on the track and field roster,” Dunn explained. “But not everyone on the track and field roster is on the cross-country roster.”

Cross-country competes in the fall, and track and field competes in the spring.

Anyone interested in learning more about track and field or trying out for the novice team should email Dunn at [email protected]. At this time, there are no plans to hold infor-mational meetings and tryouts, like rowing does, but if there is enough interest, an informational meeting could be put together.

Emma Gresson is the novice coach for rowing. Those who are interested in learning more about rowing or trying out for the novice team should email her at [email protected]. Students with previous rowing experience are encouraged to complete the recruiting questionnaire online.

An email to Gresson Friday and a call Monday at 1:10 p.m. went unanswered.

Protesters braved heat and high winds Saturday to take a stand outside the Norman Hobby Lobby location with signs criticiz-ing the recent Supreme Court decision, al-lowing the company to drop coverage for certain contraceptives due to its religious beliefs.

The protest’s organizer, Anna Przebinda, a recent graduate from OU, stood at the cor-ner of 24th and Main and led her fellow pro-testors with vigor.

“We can complain all day but, ultimate-ly, need to go out and do something,” said Przebinda, who organized the protest in less than five days. Przebinda said this protest was the first she ever organized but that she has participated in many in the past.

“It is tough being a liberal activist here,” Przebinda said. She hopes to keep a weekly protest occurring so she can keep her mis-sion relevant and on people’s minds. She anticipates a revival in her efforts, with the new school year approaching and hopes to get some campus events underway.

Martha Skeeters, co-founder and pres-ident of the Oklahoma Coalition for Reproductive Justice, and her pink-shirt-clad coalition came out to the protest in hopes of continuing their mission to pro-tect women’s reproductive rights. Since the ruling, Skeeters said her coalition has re-mained active in protests all over the state.

Przebinda and Skeeters believe that this does not only affect women but also all in-dividuals’ rights as well, and they encourage more people to show up to stand against this decision.

OU Nightly won an Emmy Award for their newscast in the 28th annual Heartland Emmy Student Achievement Awards, July 12, at red carpet events simultaneously held in Denver and Oklahoma City.

The winning newscast was created by news director Bob Dickey, director Kenzie Clark and executive producers Madeline Stebbins and Lauren King. The OU Nightly newscast staff was among 600 professionals from the Heartlands five state region who attended one of the awards ceremonies.

“Wining was such a huge honor,” King said. “It’s important to note that though our names are on the award, it was a team effort. Yes, it’s an award for us but also for our whole program.”

The Heartland Regional Emmy awards

presented 104 Emmy Awards in more than 100 areas of excellence and student achievement.

“It’s nice to be recognized that we’re doing something of quality, no doubt about that, but awards are just awards,” Dickey said.

The award comes at a time when OU Nightly is adding a $1.43 million techni-cal upgrade including software, hardware and everything in between, according to Dickey.

“We’ve already decided were not going to get comfortable where we’re at. We’re going to keep pushing and preparing to work with our new software,” King said. “This is just the beginning.”

CRiME

Suspect identified in series of norman vending machine burglaries

OUPD have identified a suspect in the recent string of vending machine burglaries that took place on campus and throughout the city of Norman in recent weeks.

There have been several break-ins in public lobbies of vending machines where money and property have been stolen from the machines. An arrest warrant has been filed for the identified suspect of the burglaries, but so far no arrests have been made.

Stealing money or property by breaking into vending machines can be charged as second degree burglary, which is a felony in Oklahoma, but the charges are up to the District Attorney to file, OU Police Department public information officer, Major Bruce Chan said.

The suspect of the crime has not been considered dangerous, but the OUPD do not suggest any students confront the thief if they witness a crime. If students see any individuals trying to access the inside of vending machines other than vending company employees they should call police immediately.

There have not been any reports of stolen credit card or One Card information from the machines with any of the burglaries.

July, Oklahoma’s hottest month, has seemed unusually cool this year. However, Oklahoma weather goes through periods of warm weather, followed by periods of cool weather, so the drop in temperature may not be so unusual after all.

“We came off of an extended period of warmer weather from 2002 until 2013,” Gary McManus, state climatologist for Oklahoma said. “This is sort of the way Oklahoma weather works.”

During this extended period of high temperatures, Oklahomans may have forgotten that high summer

temperatures are actually part of a larger system of alternating cooler periods and warmer periods. These fluctuations are nor-mal and happen cyclically.

What is out of the ordinary, however, is the weather expected over the next few days.

“We will probably have some of the coolest high temperatures over the next couple of days that we’ve ever seen in the state,” McManus said. “That’s probably a combination of the cool air coming in and the rainfall.”

Through Thursday, central Oklahomans can expect sig-nificantly cooler-than-average temperatures along with rain. Wednesday will be 74, which is significantly cooler than July’s average temperature of 82. And on Thursday, temperatures will plummet all the way to 68.

“This month has been a little bit of a mixed bag,” McManus said. “We had a hot spell, but now we are having a little bit of a

cool spell. We had a below normal (temperature) period and an above normal period and now (temperatures are) going down-hill again.”

These plunging temperatures can be partially attributed to the polar vortex that has struck states throughout the country. This is the result of a typhoon that recently struck Japan and dis-rupted the path of the North Pacific jet stream. This week, states throughout the Midwest can expect temperatures to be as much as 15 degrees cooler than normal as the vortex travels southward from Canada.

On Friday, temperatures will return to the usual 90s. But for the time being, these cooler temperatures are a welcome relief from the previous years’ scorching summer temperatures.

HOROSCOPE By Eugenia Last

WEDNESDAY, July 16, 2014

It’s time to spread your wings and fl y. Put your knowledge to good use by delving into new territories and taking advantage of every opportunity that comes your way. Sticking to your normal routine will not help you achieve your desires. Don’t fear change.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- A dili-gent pursuit of knowledge will help you raise your earning potential. Being prepared for any situation will keep you ahead of the competition.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Keep your money and valuables in a safe place. Protect what you have worked so hard to accumulate. A humble and gracious attitude will get you further than a showy one.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Make plans to spend time with the people you most enjoy being with. Romance is in the stars, and a closer relationship with someone special is in the offi ng.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Tread carefully when discussing important issues with friends, colleagues or family. Keep your thoughts to your-self until you know where everyone else stands. Taking precautions now will help you avoid setbacks later.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Go ahead and make subtle changes to your appearance or image. Developing your interests is a great way to increase your knowledge and bolster your self-esteem.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You will come up against some stren-uous opposition at home. Remain composed, and resist the urge to get into a debate that could distance you from someone you love.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- It’s imperative that you meet your deadlines at the workplace. Once you have fulfi lled your obligations, get together with friends for some fun to ease your stress.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Don’t try to shirk your career re-sponsibilities. Your fi nancial situation will take a dive if you need to look for a new position. Protect what you have worked so hard to acquire.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Decide what you want and go after it. With determination, you can overcome any limits or obstacles that stand in your way. Reach for the stars.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Get in touch with people you haven’t seen in a long time. If travel is not an option, make calls to fi nd out how everyone is doing. Catching up will make you feel good.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Re-evaluate your intentions and motives. It may be time to move on from a situation if you feel you are involved in it for the wrong reasons.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Now isn’t the time to make changes at work or at home. Keep your intentions a secret for now. You will get further ahead by doing your job competently and quietly.

Instructions:Fill in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the digits 1 through 9. That means that no number is repeated in any row, column or box.

OU Summer Session brings a free concert to campus Friday, July 18, for annual Must-Stay

Weekend.Country music singer Corey Smith will be

headlining the concert with Mike Ryan also performing.

Corey Smith has released seven studio al-bums, which he wrote and produced himself. This is the second Must-Stay Weekend this year.

Following in April musical pop duo Sleigh Bells, who performed for over 5,000 people.

Must-Stay Weekend is a community event. “The concert is open to anyone and everyone,” said

Steven Lee from OU Summer Session. The concert organizers plan to continue the Must-

Stay Weekend concerts throughout the spring, summer and fall semesters to come.

“There are many reasons people should come, but the main reason is it’s free,” said Lee. “There is a cool atmo-sphere, and the bands will play good music.”

The concert will kick off Friday, July 18 at 8 p.m. on the East Lawn near Asp Avenue and Felgar Street. Visit the OU Summer Session website for more details.

The city hopes to install two new art pieces in high-traffic areas across town

Jordan rippetoeLife & Arts and Sports editor

The Norman Public Arts Board has extended it’s deadline on ideas for two permanent outdoor sculptures from July 14 to July 28.

The two sculptures are planned to be located on the southwest corner of East Main Street and Porter Avenue and the southeast corner of the downtown library building in the City of Norman Complex.

Both of these areas are strategic places for the two sculp-tures. They are pathways to several churches in established neighborhoods as well as the public library, the City of Norman Complex, retail and commercial establishments and other highly-trafficked areas. The purpose of these sculptures is to make Norman more visually appealing.

Each piece of artwork costs $15,000, which covers the cost of design, materials, fabrications, travel, insurance cover-age, delivery and installation. The City of Norman will pro-vide the base of the sculpture.

All Oklahoma residents are eligible to submit to the proj-ect and are encouraged to complete their submission to the Norman Arts Council by July 28. The sculptures will be on display October 19.

For more information, or to submit an idea, check out the Norman Arts Council’s website.
