STILLWATER
Talking and listening is
the best way to reunite a
sorely divided America.
In a partnership with Sto-
ryCorps, KOSU is inviting
V people across Oklahoma
to take part in meaning-
ful conversations being
recorded for history.
With support from the
Corporation for Public
Broadcasting, Oklahoma
is one of six locations
across the country selected
to take part in StoryCorps’
nationwide One Small
Step initiative to facilitate
and broadcast conver-
sations with Americans
of opposing viewpoints.
With participant permis-
sion, these conversations
are preserved for future
generations at the Amer-
ican Folklife Center at
the Library of Congress.
StoryCorps is a national
nonprofit dedicated to
recording and preserving
personal stories,
KOSU plans to broadcast
edited versions of some
of the Oklahoma submis-
sions.
“After a year of isolation
and division, it’s time to
remember what we have
in common. At KOSU, we
are honored to facilitate
these conversations,” said
Rachel Hubbard,'KOSU
executive director. “It is
important to us that all
Oklahomans feel heard
A and valued, no matter their
~¥ life experiences or what
?

shaped them.”
Dave Isay, founder and
president of StoryCorps,
agrees.
“Recent polls demon-
strate what most of us
have already experienced
first-hand: that there is
a pervasive culture of
contempt that threatens
the very foundations
of our democracy,” he
said. “According to a CBS
News poll released earlier
this year, more than half
of all Americans say the
greatest danger to Amer—
ica’s way of life comes
from their fellow citi-
zens. One Small Step aims
to remind people of the
humanity in all of us and
that it’s hard to hate up
close. These communities
can model this change for
the rest of the country.”
President and CEO Patri-
cia Harrison says the Cor-
poration for Public Broad-
casting is very pleased to
support this effort.
“StoryCorps uses its
innovative approach to
sharing stories in its One
Small Step Communities
initiative to foster under—
standing and respect, even
among people who deeply
disagree,” she said. “By
working with local public
radio stations to connect
[people with different
backgrounds and polit-
ical beliefs, One Small
Step is helping stations
strengthen their commu-
nities, one step at a time.”
Launched by StoryCorps
in 2018 in response to
growing division in the
country, One Small Step.
is a national initiative that
pairs two strangers who
hold different views in
facilitated and recorded
conversations to coun-
teract intensifying hostil-
ity and enable those who
disagree to listen to each
other with respect.
Rather than spark addi-
tional partisan debates,
One Small Step encour-
ages answers to questions
such as, “Was there a
moment, event, or person
in your life that shaped
your political views?” and
“What scares you most
when you think about the
future?”
KOSU encourages Okla-
homa residents to take
part in this limited-time
opportunity:
- Information about how
to participate is at kosu.
org/onesmallstep.
- To accommodate partic-
ipant comfort levels with
in-person recording ses-
sions, KOSU may use Sto-
ryCorps’ remote recording
I Community
[(05 U partners to foster conversations across US ideological divides
platform, over video.
KOSU will also team
up with a variety of com-
munity organizations to
spread the word and col-
laborate with StoryCorps
to match participants
and record conversations
through the, end of the
year. The project will
include a series of public
listening events, streamed
online, in fall 2021. Find
out how your organization
can partner with KOSU
at kosu.org/onesmallstep.
KOSU’s participation in
the One Small Step Com-
munities project is made
possible by the Corpora-
tion for Public Broadcast-
ing. StoryCorps’ national
One Small Step initiative
is made possible by the
generous support of The
Hearthland Foundation,
the Fetzer Institute, the
William and Flora Hewlett
Foundation, the Corpora-
tion for Public Broadcast—
ing and the Charles Koch
Institute.
Man iailed on 10 counts of child abuse in Stillwater
By Patti Weaver
Journal Correspondent
STILLWATER — A Shaw-
nee man has been jailed
on $60,000 bail pending
his arraignment this week
on 10 child abuse counts
alleged to have occurred
in Payne County during a
seven-year period when he
lived in Stillwater and the
surrounding area.
Erick Roy Hale, 34,
could be given a maxi-
mum penalty of 10 life
prison terms if convicted of
two counts of child sexual
abuse and eight counts of
child physical abuse filed
in Payne County by pros-
ecutor Debra Vincent last
week.
Stillwater Police Officer
Shawn Millermon began
an investigation in March
when he received a referral
from the Oklahoma Depart-
ment of Human Services
that originated in another
county regarding sexual
and physical abuse of two
children by Hale, an affida-
vit alleged.
“In the referral it was
made apparent there were
other children in the home
at the time of the abuse,”
the affidavit alleged.
“On March 25-26, I was
present for forensic inter-
views of minor children,”
ages 7, 10, 11 and 13, that
were conducted at the Sav-
ille Center, the Stillwater
police officer wrote in his
affidavit.
A l3—year—old girl “dis-
closed physical abuse, as
well as sexual abuse by
Erick at locations in Still-
water and the surrounding
area,” between the ages
of 5 and 10, the affidavit
alleged. At one point, the
girl “and her siblings were
told by her mother to go
pack their clothes because
they were leaving Erick,”
who tried to stop them, the
affidavit alleged.
An 11-year—old boy said
that when he was 2, he
“received stitches from
being slammed into the bed
frame by Erick,” the affi-
davit alleged. He disclosed
being present when Erick
physically abused,” four
other children on various
days and various locations,
the affidavit alleged. He
said, “Erick told him not to
tell anyone,” the affidavit
alleged.
A 10-year-Old girl said
that when she was about
4, she was choked and
“thought she was going to
die because she couldn’t
breathe,” the affida-
vit alleged. She said the
13-year-old girl “had told
her about being sexually
abused by Erick, but did not
want to talk about herself ,”
the affidavit alleged. Asked
who she could talk to if she
needed help, the 10-year-
old girl said “she would
talk to no one because she
would be brave,” the affi-
davit alleged.
The Stillwater police
officer wrote in an affidavit,
“On April 6, 2021, I was
present for the forensic
interviews,” of two boys,
ages 11 and 12, who were
interviewed in another
county.
The 12-year-Old boy
“disclosed being sexually
assaulted by Erick when
they lived in Stillwater,”
between the ages of 8 and
9, the affidavit alleged.
The l l-year—old boy “dis-
closed being pushed down
the stairs by Erick ,” after he
and another boy dropped a
kitten, the affidavit alleged.
The boy, who was 6 or 7,
“hit his head when this hap-
pened and he remembered
Erick laughing at him,” the
affidavit alleged.
Both boys “disclosed
being made to watch Erick
‘rape’ their mother,” the
affidavit alleged.
