Efforts to raise money for the Stillwater Strong fund are ending, and a local nonprofit has been told to distribute the money to avoid future image issues, the director of the nonprofit said.
The Stillwater Medical Center Foundation has raised about $485,000 in the past
four months to financially assist the victims of the Oklahoma State homecom-ing parade crash Oct. 24, D. Scott Petty said.
He said the money in the fund will most likely be dispersed by the end of March, but 41 crash victims must pay taxes on the money because of how the founda-tion is dispersing the funds.
“We just wanted to make sure we didn’t have lingering effects,” Petty said, referenc-ing public image issues as-sociated with the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial fund.
Petty said the foundation didn’t want any “lingering effects” from holding onto
the money, referencing public image issues associ-
ated with the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial fund.
“They raised millions, and they still have millions,” STORY CONTINUES ON PAGE 3

Stillwater Strong fundraising efforts endingPetty said. “That’s created a public image problem for them. We don’t want that.”
The Oklahoma City Com-munity Foundation has been criticized for not disbursing the remaining money in its funds to bombing victims.
A nonprofit leadership expert said transparency is essential when handling tragedy funds.
“If you’re managing those dollars, in this kind of circumstance, you do have to be completely transparent to the donors, certainly, but to the community in general about how you’re doing all of this,” Bob Spinks said. “You just have to because if

you don’t, it raises all kinds of doubt and ques-tions.”
Many factors influence the lifespan of a tragedy fund, said Spinks, the director of a nonprofit leadership program at Oklahoma City University and former president and CEO of United Way of Cen-tral Oklahoma. Spinks said immediate, intermediate and long-term needs are taken into account when funds are established.
“It’s kind of difficult sometimes to say, ‘We’re going to need this much money’ or ‘It’s going to take this long to do what we have to do,’” he said.
Spinks said it is atypical for donation recipients to have to pay taxes on money they receive.
“Typically, you try to do things to protect the donor intent of what they wanted the money to go for but also to protect those getting the help so they’re not being punished with some kind of unreasonable tax situation,” Spinks said.
Petty said an attorney told the foundation the money would be taxable. He said the foundation has been transparent about the taxa-
tion since the early stages of the fund’s establishment.
“There are a lot of hoops and hurdles, a lot of things you have to do, a lot of ‘i’s you have to dot and ‘t’s you have to cross just to disburse the money,” Petty said. “Every letter that we’ve com-municated with (the victims) we’ve shared with them that this will likely be a taxable event for them.”
The money will be treated as income, and Petty said the foundation can’t disperse the money until W-9 forms are returned.
The Stillwater Medical Center Foundation provides support for Stillwater Medi-cal Center-sponsored com-munity health programs and oversees the hospital’s use of grants, according to the foundation’s IRS tax form.
Petty, who has worked for the foundation for almost a year, said he wanted to create a trustworthy avenue for people to donate after seeing questionable online
accounts claiming to benefit the victims.
“I thought our foundation can be a transparent, clear charitable arm to collect do-nations to benefit those who will have financial need,” Petty said. “I kind of stuck my neck out there and said, ‘We’re going to do this.’”
Petty said the foundation received about 900 dona-tions toward the fund within the first 2 1/2 months and that about 60 fundraisers were established to benefit the fund.

c o v e r s t o r y st i l lwat e r st r o n gcommittee decided to
separate the victims into three categories, Petty said.
Class A includes the families of those who died. Each family will be awarded $10,000 for funeral costs, Petty said. Class B is the largest category and includes the victims who suffered se-rious injuries and will have a long-term recovery.
“That B group is going to get the most because they’re the ones that are living with long-term repercussions of physical therapy, loss of limb, recovery and so forth,” Petty said.
Class C victims include those treated and released. Each victim will receive about $2,000, Petty said.
Six victims elected to forego receipt, allowing
$48,000 to be disseminated among other victims, Petty said.
Leo Schmitz, 60, suffered major brain injuries and lost his left leg as a result of the crash. His stepson, Mark McNitt, said Schmitz’s medical bills are nearing $1 million, and that the money from the fund will essential-ly be a “drop in the bucket” in the long run.
“(The Schmitzes) may have debt for the rest of their lives because of this,” McNitt said.
Schmitz’s wife, Sharon Schmitz, was treated and released at Stillwater Medi-cal Center the day of the crash. The hospital absorbed her medical bills, along with those of other crash victims. McNitt said her bills were less than $1,000.
With Schmitz unable to work his job at American Airlines and his wife assum-ing the role of his caretaker, McNitt said the effects of the crash have created financial difficulties for the couple.
An attorney and owner of Nonprofit Solutions P.C. said it is not unusual for a victim fund to end and money to be dispersed quickly.
“It sounds like they set it up, they raised money specifically for these victims,” Jeri Trowler said. “… They’ve told the donors they’re going to give the money away, they need to give the money away so they are following donor intent.”
Trowler equated the Stillwater Strong fund to a disaster relief fund for
tornado victims.“Disaster response groups
will start raising (money) specifically for a disaster and then when the money is gone, shut it down,” Trowler said.
The president of the Oklahoma City Community Foundation said the money is taxable because it is not being distributed on the basis of need. The OCCF oversees the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial fund.
Nancy Anthony said if the disbursement was based on an expense such as a medi-cal bill a victim had, the money wouldn’t be deemed taxable.
“If the disbursement was based on just an arbitrary participation, they were there, this happened to them, therefore they get this
proportionate share of it, then it’s not a need thing,” Anthony said.
She also said tragedy funds are not meant to pro-vide compensation for being a victim but instead serve to directly take care of victims’ needs.
“It’s supposed to help meet the needs of people as it relates to whatever the tragedy is and whatever needs that they have that resulted from the tragedy,” Anthony said.
After March, any dona-tions received will ben-efit the hospital emergency room, Petty said.
He said the emergency room took a $220,000 loss as the hospital declined to bill crash victims.
“I think that’s the right thing to do,” Petty said.
“Our equipment, our staff, our facility was heavily engaged that day.”
Additionally, Petty esti-mates the foundation will take a loss of at least $5,000 to cover postage, credit card charges and PayPal fees associated with the donation process. The foundation is paying legal fees for advice sought on overseeing the fund, Petty said.
“Literally, 100 percent of every dollar that was given to us is going back to the victims,” Petty said. “We wanted to do exactly what we set out to do, and that’s to provide some funds to these folks who need it. And ultimately, that’s what we’re doing.”

Oklahoma State coach Josh Holliday hasn’t seen
anything like it.When the OSU baseball
team won its home opener 7-1 against Incarnate Word on Tuesday, it ended a four-game losing streak for the Cowboys. Each loss came in walk-off fashion.
“You’ve got to keep it in perspective,” Holliday said. “It’s a game. It’s a sport. If you lose, you lose. How you lose, you can’t let that get in your craw any more than losing any of itself.
“You’ve just got to bounce back, which our kids did today.”
The key was their speed.The No. 22 Cowboys
(3-5) stole eight bases in nine tries, including four from center fielder Garrett
McCain.Before Tuesday, OSU had
been successful on five of its nine attempts.
With OSU holding a 2-1 lead against the Cardinals (3-5), McCain led off the third inning with a bunt single down the first-base line. After stealing second, he tried to do the same at third. UIW catcher Robert Lopez’s throw sailed into left, letting McCain score an easy run.
“It was beneficial for us to come out here strong, be aggressive early, put some runs up, be productive of-fensively after the weekend we had,” McCain said. “We didn’t struggle, by any means, but we didn’t get the
outcome that we wanted, so I definitely think this was a very good win for us.”
McCain’s speed again benefited the Cowboys in the fourth, when OSU added four runs with two outs. With a run in and right fielder Corey Hassel at second, McCain dribbled a groundball to third, but he beat the throw to first.
When McCain took off for second, Lopez threw to third, attempting to catch Hassel off the bag. Again, he threw it away, bringing in another Cowboy run.
Shortstop Donnie Walton singled to right three pitches later to score McCain.
Walton then used his speed to score the final
run of the inning. He stole second, advanced to third on another Lopez throwing error and crossed home on a wild pitch.
Walton, a senior, played in his final home opener at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium, but there are plenty more games to be played.
“It was weird,” Walton
