The Abilene Reporter-News reported Bob-Cat Twister — “Bobby” to his fans, was a longhorn who originally showed up at an Oklahoma ranch in a load of buck- ing steers. It was about 1932 and George Crouch had no interest in him. Bobby was a little too free with his horns, for one thing. But Monte Reger had an idea, he’d rec- ognized something in that animal. “When Bobby still was wild and they had him the back of a truck, my dad would watch him,” Virginia Reger recalled. “I mean, you can learn a lot about an animal by watching.” Whenever a crowd gathered, Bobby would choose that time to take a stroll. “He would walk around, like he was showing himself off, and lay out there and look around at the people,” Virginia said. “He got to where he liked the crowd.” If there wasn’t a crowd, Bobby wasn’t leaving the truck. Not even to eat. That gave Monte an idea. “That’s when he began to say that steer was smarter than we thought he was,” Vir- ginia said of her father. “We can teach him PHOTOS BY RONALD W.

BY CHRISTIAN LOPEZ Stars and Stripes CHIBA, Japan — There was just too little time and too much to see and do at the Tokyo Game Show 2019. The show, which ended Sun- day, featured 655 exhibitors in 2,417 booths scattered across 11 halls within the convention center. Among the largest booths — and longest lines — Sony and Square Enix had massive displays devoted to upcoming game releases. Sony showcased content in- cluding playable demonstra- tions of Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Nioh 2, Persona 5 Royal and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Death Stranding, a creation of game director and producer Hideo Kojima, and CD Pro- jekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077 were also promoted with large booths, but neither game was available to try out. “I’m most excited for Death Stranding since I’m a big fan of Kojima,” gamer Lukas Wolf said at the event. “Any new information about it will be a treat.” At the Cyberpunk 2077 booth, Keanu Reeves and Ko- jima made surprise appear- ances Thursday and posed for photos with the life-size model of the Yaiba Kusanagi motor- cycle from the game. At the Square Enix booth, a large screen displayed trailers for all upcoming games, includ- ing one for Kingdom Hearts 3 that hints at downloadable content, Dragon Quest X and XI, Marvel Avengers and the long-awaited Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Playable demos of Final Fantasy 7 and Dragon Quest XI S were available. “I have waited since I was a little kid for the Final Fantasy 7 Remake and I finally got a chance today. It’s everything I could’ve asked for,” gamer Kenji Sato said. Between the large booths dedicated to the largest gaming companies, visitors found hun- dreds of cosplayers dressed as characters from video games, networking opportunities with several universities that work with gaming, indie game de- velopers with ready-to-play products, and free-to-play car- PHOTOS BY CHRISTIAN LOPEZ/Stars and Stripes nival games for a chance to win Top: Visitors get a glimpse of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trailer at Tokyo Game a prize.

CENTRAL ISLIP NY — A suspended judge pleaded guilty to attempted bur- glary for trying to sneak into a neighbor’s home to steal her underwear. Robert Cicale pleaded guilty Friday in Suffolk County court. Prosecutors said Cicale, 50, had several pairs of women’s soiled underwear stuffed into his jacket and raincoat when he was arrested on March 29, 2018, after leaving the neighbor’s home. They said he admitted that he had entered the home on several occasions and stolen panties from a hamper. Cicale was removed from the bench after his arrest.

NHL Capitals’ Ovechkin still a lean, mean

‘The Great Eight’ not slowing down in 15th season

BY STEPHEN WHYNO Associated Press CHICAGO lex Ovechkin doesn’t think he’s any lighter going into his 15th NHL training camp. “The same 260,” he said. That might be a slight exaggeration for a play- er listed at 235 pounds, though the Washington Capitals captain worked to be leaner and quicker. When the season starts, he’ll be 34. He’s made a concerted effort with different summer train- ing to keep up with the ever-quicken- ing pace of the league while remaining ‘ undecided about his long-term future. I want to “The game is getting faster, so you play till I have to get ready for more speed in the game and don’t try to lift too much can’t play. ’ weight and just be quicker,” Ovechkin Alex Ovechkin said. Capitals captain The Russian superstar, who was named playoff MVP in 2018 for leading the Capitals to the Stanley Cup, plays more like a freight train than a Porsche. His physicality makes him stand out in the modern NHL trending toward speed and skill and has helped make him the best goal scorer of this generation.
