Tulsa Oilers Soar, Cowgirls Host Showdown, and Library Shifts Focus
Published 3 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Saturday, January third.
We're starting your weekend with some exciting news from the hardwood. The Tulsa Oilers are on a roll, having just defeated Iowa four to two in their latest matchup. Jeremie Biakabutuka sealed the victory with a goal, bringing Tulsa to their tenth win of the season. And listeners, if you missed that game, you're in luck because Tulsa and Iowa face off again today right here at the BOK Center on Blue Dome Drive. It's shaping up to be another competitive matchup, so if you're looking for something to do this afternoon, that's definitely worth checking out.
Over in college hoops, the Oklahoma State Cowgirls are hosting Houston at Gallagher-Iba Arena this afternoon starting at four o'clock Eastern time. The Cowgirls are sitting pretty with a twelve and three record, so this should be solid Big Twelve action.
Shifting gears to something that affects all of us here in Oklahoma, our state's Court of Criminal Appeals recently made a significant ruling on DNA evidence. They've upheld the use of probabilistic genotyping software for analyzing DNA in criminal cases. This is a pretty important decision for how our local law enforcement and prosecutors can work with forensic evidence going forward.
On the business front, we're seeing some transitions in our community. The Tulsa Public Library has been managing a pretty significant shift after Baker and Taylor, their major book supplier, wound down operations. The library tells us they purchased about one hundred fifteen thousand books last year, with half coming from Baker and Taylor. They've switched to a new vendor, but they're asking for patience as they work through processing and shelving new materials. Library spokesperson Toni Allen mentioned there will be a bit of a slowdown, but they're committed to keeping those shelves stocked.
Looking at the week ahead, we've got some interesting developments brewing at the state and national level that could touch Oklahoma communities. The Supreme Court is gearing up to hear some major cases this year that'll test the limits of presidential power and dive into hot button social issues. They're also looking at cases involving gun rights and transgender athletes in women's sports. For us here in Oklahoma, these decisions could have real implications for how our state operates.
As we head into the weekend, temperatures should be fairly mild for early January. It's a good day to get outside, whether you're heading to that hockey game at the BOK Center or just enjoying some fresh air around town.
