Goalkeeper Oscar Ustari signs contract extension with Inter Miami through 2026
Oscar Ustari will be sticking with Inter Miami for at least one more year. The club announced Thursday that the Argentine goalkeeper signed a contract extension through the 2026 MLS season. Ustari started 16 of the team's 19 matches so far in 2025, recording six clean sheets. Ustari, who turns 39 in July, joined Miami in September of 2024 as a backup to Drake Callender and assumed the starting role this year when Callender was injured while with the U.S. national team. Callender recently underwent sports hernia surgery and is out indefinitely. Prior to joining Inter Miami, Ustari played for several teams in Europe and South America, including Getafe CF (Spain), Sunderland AFC (England), and Club Atlético Boca Juniors (Argentina). He has made more than 390 appearances during his career and is a longtime friend of Lionel Messi, with whom he won the 2005 FIFA U-20 World Youth Championship in the Netherlands and won an Olympic gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Ustari is the second Messi friend and former teammate to sign an extension with Inter Miami, following Jordi Alba. Messi's contract expires at the end of this season and he is expected to re-sign for 2026 sometime this summer.

Longtime Ward 2 council member faces Republican opponent
Editor's note: This is the second in a series of three stories about the candidates running for Claremore City Council. The story about the Ward 1 candidates ran in the Tuesday, March 25 edition. A sidebar to this story appears inside today's edition. Incumbent Brian Callender and challenger Michael Barone are the candidates running for the two-year Ward 2 seat on Claremore City Council. Callender, first appointed to the council in 2013, works in sales for Advanced EMC Technologies in Broken Arrow and ran HeatWave Tanning in Claremore for two decades. Barone moved to Claremore five years ago and operates forklifts in the Tulsa warehouse of LDF, a beverage distributor. Claremore council members represent a particular ward, but all registered voters in city limits get a say on who fills each contested seat. Early voting will take place 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. March 27-28 at the Rogers County Election Board office, 415 W. First St. in Claremore. Election Day is April 1. Brian Callender Callender has represented Ward 2 on City Council since 2013. That year, council member Thomas Cypert resigned, and Callender interviewed for the job to take his seat and secured it. He held his seat each election cycle until 2023, when Emily Chester received the most votes — but Chester hadn't realized she didn't meet the residency requirement. The council then appointed Callender to serve until at least 2025. Callender said his wife, Bridget, spurred him to apply for the vacant seat in 2013. He said he used to complain about how city government was being run, and his wife said if he wanted things to change, he should do it himself. "I've learned a lot in the last 12 years," Callender said. "... I'm very passionate about it. Things have gone so well. We've built such a good relationship with the citizens, especially since [City Manager John Feary has] been here." Before Feary was Jim Thomas, who Callender said set the city up well financially but was domineering and unlikable. Feary has been a breath of fresh air, Callender said, and he said city residents seem happier about the city's direction with Feary at the helm. He said it is paramount people to vote to add a penny to the city's 3% sales tax because it would allow the city to continue infrastructure projects like the $28 million water quality improvements at the water treatment plant. "I don't want to pay more taxes, either, but I like where I live, and I want it to be better," Callender said. "That's really the only way we can do it." If passed, the sales tax increase would generate an additional $6 million annually. Callender said the city badly needs this money to set itself up for the future. He said a higher sales tax rate would also let the city leverage larger projects. "We need that penny sales tax, man, we really do," Callender said. "It may not come in handy real soon, but it's for the future. We have to have it eventually." Callender said his sales work makes him adept at helping people solve their problems. He said constituents can reach out to him via email at briancallender87@ He said his proudest moment aiding a constituent was four years ago or so, when he helped a Claremore resident get a refund on an excessive water bill. She said the city had overcharged her nursing home $60,000 because it was billing her for high-pressure usage instead of low-pressure. "I made John [Feary] take her a check," Callender said. "... She was so tickled. She was about in tears. She goes, 'I've been fighting with these people, telling them this isn't right.'" Callender said Barone has radical ideas and doesn't think he'd do a better job serving the city than he does. "It's important to me that we have someone that actually knows and actually cares about this position," Callender said. Michael Barone Oklahoma municipal elections are officially nonpartisan; Barone said he's a fiscally conservative Republican. He said he's supported President Donald Trump since his first campaign, put on Trump rallies last summer with the Rogers County Republican Party, and is vying to represent Oklahoma's 2nd Congressional District in the state party. Barone comes to Claremore out of the West. He's originally from Lancaster, California, then Las Vegas. Barone and much of his family settled in Oklahoma in 2020. His father, Vic, is treasurer of the Rogers County GOP. Barone also belongs to the John Birch Society and the Oklahoma 2nd Amendment Association. "To me, the Constitution lets every state do what you want to do, and it's not for the top-down to be telling people ... what you're going to do," Barone said. "... Don't spend, cut taxes, give us more money." He said if elected to the council, he'd look for places to reduce city spending. Barone said he hasn't decided how he'll vote on the city's bid to add a penny of sales tax. He questioned why the city wants more money after raising City Manager John Feary's salary by $5,000 last July and cutting former City Manager Jim Thomas a $173,000 severance check after his 2020 resignation. "To me, we shouldn't give any raise until we are not in debt and our infrastructure is good," Barone said. Oklahomans don't spend much, Barone said, and he said to generate more tax revenue, the city should attract more manufacturers and small business owners. He said Claremore treats its people like an endless source of revenue. Barone attended one of Feary's March town halls. He said he liked the idea of spreading the cost of the penny among all the people who shop in Claremore, though it felt like a threat to suggest raising utility rates. "I've warmed up to it," Barone said. "... I'm not gonna tell people what to think, you know? I mean, that's up to every individual to do it themselves." If elected, Barone said he would like to hold his own town halls and record videos for constituents about his work on the council, like Feary does. He said sitting council members don't put themselves in front of their constituents enough; he said Callender is too quiet and doesn't speak up at meetings. Barone's Facebook profile brands him "a voice for the people," and he said he can speak particularly for working-class people like himself. "People need to get engaged more all over the country, you know – state, local," Barone said. "... It's just fresh ideas. Usually, most people don't run that are probably in my situation, you know, like lower-middle class."
