The Village announces City Council elections

By Eric Oesch Staff Writer The Village City Council began the new year by announcing upcoming elections for city council seats and opening bids for park improvements.

The Council approved a proclamation calling for elections for seats in three of

the city’s five wards.

Elections will be conducted Tuesday, April 6, for seats currently held by Ward 1 Councilman Dave Bennett, Ward 2 Councilman Bubba Symes, and Ward 3 Councilman Adam Graham.

Councilmen in The Village serve two-year terms. Under city charter, councilmen in Wards 1, 2

and 3 are elected every oddnumbered year. Councilmen in Wards 4 and 5 are chosen every even-numbered year.

There is no primary, but only a general election. Elections are nonpartisan and no party designation is placed on the ballots. The council meets the first and third Monday at 7:30 p.m. every month.

Each council seat is elected at large by the registered, qualified electors of the entire city voting in their respective wards. Candidates for council positions must be qualified electors in their respective Wards.

Any person qualified as an elector in his ward may have his name placed on the ballot as a candidate for

office. Councilmen must live in the Ward they represent.

Filing period to run for office is Feb. 24-26. A $50 filing fee is required and must be paid at the Oklahoma County Election Board at 4201 N Lincoln Blvd. in Oklahoma City.

Girl Scouts want all to ‘be the good’

By Rose Lane Editor The members of Casady School’s fifth grade Girl Scout Troop 707 believe there is good in the world and set out to encourage others to “be the good” with acts of kindness every day.

Adrienne Elder is a co-leader of the troop. She said the troop was inspired by the quote “Believe there is good in the world” and set out to incorporate that into their Bronze Award Project.

our users a much cleaner layout and ability to access all of the FRIDAY news and sports our readers have come to love,” publisher Vicki Clark Gourley said. “I encourage everyone to check out our new site.”

Heritage Hall announced the appointment of Matthew Carolan as its next head of middle school, effective July 1.

Carolan succeeds Ron Allie, who will retire June 30, after leading the Heritage Hall Middle School for more than four decades.

Carolan comes to Heritage Hall from The Pembroke Hill School (Kansas City, Mo.) where he has served as a faculty member since 2000 and as an administrator since 2005 – most recently as the English department chair and assistant head of middle school. He holds a master of fine arts in fiction and literature from Bennington College (Bennington, Vt.), and a bachelor of arts in English literature with a minor in Russian from the University of Kansas (Lawrence, Kan.).

Carolan’s selection follows a national search led by Head of School Nick Carter. A strong candidate throughout the search process, Carolan garnered the enthusiastic recommendation of Carter and the search committee.

“True educators lead by

revealing who they are; they motivate others to learn; they believe in each child’s worth, and they understand that educating the mind without character education falls short of the mission,” Carter said.

“Heritage Hall is excited to have a true educator in Matthew to inspire our best and noblest efforts and to value each student, parent, supporter and employee.”

Carolan said he has always believed a truly great education begins with a caring, See HH, Page 3

Red Andrews Dinner

Volunteers spread Christmas cheer

Due to COVID, the annual Red Andrews Christmas Dinner was a little different this year. Ingredients for Christmas dinners and toys were placed in the trunks of vehicles at various locations or were delivered.

SCOUTS From Page 1 honor a junior Girl Scout can achieve.

“Using the quote, they decided to create t-shirts for all the girls in their 5th grade class and paint two large art murals,” Elder said.

The first art mural was dedicated to Girl Scouts as part of the Grand Opening for Camp Trivera and remains on display off the Grand Hallway near the pool, Elder said.

The second art mural was dedicated to Casady during a chapel ceremony for the annual Peace Week. It remains on display in the Middle Division building.

Coming of age, the girls are more aware of their community and want to make a difference.

“Even with a divided nation, racial injustice and adapting to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the girls remained determined to be leaders creating positive change,” Elder said.

The project addressed the issues of a nation divided, the COVID-19 pandemic, fear, isolation, racial injustice and bullies. The troop determined a budget and got to work.

As a part of the project, each

member of the trip was required to write a self-reflection page.

Girl Scout Grace Elder said that in our country today, many people feel isolated, divided and scared.

“Our troop wants to spread messages of hope, unite and inspire others to act with kindness for the greater good,” she said. “We hope this project helps people to be more involved with their community by ‘being the good’ each day.”

Troop member Tess Boren said she believes that in addition to COVID-19, the world has really been changed by global warming and phones.

“These things make people think they don’t have enough to do,” she said.

Tess said she believes there is good in the world.

“I think that ‘be the good in the world’ means that if you believe in yourself and you don’t give up, you can make a difference,” she said.

Elder said that the members of Troop 707 hope that their Bronze Award project will help others get on board and believe there is good in the world, too.

“This timeless message creates a positive ripple effect for the girls and the community, inspiring all to ‘be the good’ each day,” she said.

“As the interview process unfolded, I felt myself becoming part of a team and community I wanted to join,” Carolan said. “The faculty (members) are kind, inquisitive and passionate about their craft.

“I found the academic, artistic, and athletic elements woven into the very soul of the School.

These elements are also wonderfully expressed by the school’s all-encompassing Charger Code, urging all to learn with honor, to lead with courage, and to serve with compassion.”

Heritage Hall President Guy Bramble called Carolan “a quintessential school man – a master of his subject, and utterly devoted to his students.”

Recipients included The Homeless Alliance, Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma, Positive Tomorrows and Catholic Charities who are all serving our city’s most vulnerable citizens.

Also supported were SSM St. Anthony Hospital Foundation, INTEGRIS Foundation, Mercy Health Foundation Oklahoma City

Other action included approval of a resolution authorizing the city manager to solicit competitive bids for the 2018 General Obligation Bond Phase 2 park improvements.

City Manager Bruce Stone said the park improvements are part of a 2018 Bond Issue where dollars were allocated for the improvement of city parks.

A comprehensive park plan created by LAUD Studio was commissioned for all city parks.

“The city has never had a comprehensive plan for our parks,” said Stone. “This is

something we’ve needed for a long time. We are pleased with what LAUD Studio has presented to us.”

The plan adds a small parking lot, play area and landscaping at Harrison Park near Britton Road and Stratford Drive. Completion of a walking trail and additional landscaping at Duffner Park at Hefner Road and Victoria Place is also included in the plan.

Mayor David Bennett ended the meeting by commending the Public Works department and entire city staff for their diligent work during the recent ice storm recovery

“For 43 years – a tenure unheard of in the independent school world – Ron Allie led the Middle School with grace and dedication,” Bramble said. “Filling those shoes will be an enormous challenge, but

Matthew is up to the task.”

Joining Carolan in his transition to Oklahoma City and Heritage Hall will be his wife, Beth, and two sons, Alexander and William, who are both in college.

anuary is usually a creative wasteland for movies.

Studios roll out their best films in December for Oscar consideration and then wait for the nominations to arrive. This year, with theaters closed or empty across the country, most studios have delayed their biggest titles or created some type of hybrid release in limited theaters and streaming online. To account for this shift, the academy has pushed back the Oscar qualification deadline to February 28 and removed the theater only restriction.

This change is great news for movie fans in Oklahoma. We will have more access to more movies before the Oscars than ever before. Instead of relying exclusively on the fabulous film program at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art, we will be able to watch several of the most prestigious films from the comfort of our own home. That said, when the vaccine clears this mess up, I will be the first in line to return to the gorgeous theater at the Museum.

To kick off your awards season viewing, I recommend

the following films that are getting short listed for outstanding acting.

Sound of Metal, an Amazon Prime original about a heavy metal drummer losing his hearing, is getting rave reviews for lead actor Riz Ahmed. Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom on Netflix, from August Wilson’s play, has elevated both lead actors Chadwick Boseman and Viola Davis to award front runners, though the movie feels more like a play. Mank on Netflix is providing supporting actress Amanda Seyfried with the best reviews of her career. And, The Trial of the Chicago 7, also on Netflix, has several great supporting performances that could garner awards recognition.

However, if you are like me and not yet in the mood for serious dramas so soon after the holidays, there is a wonderfully distracting television series that may help cleanse your palate.

An estimated 63

million households tuned in to watch Netflix’s saucy new series, Bridgerton.

The period drama is the first show from Executive Producer Shonda Rhimes since she signed with Netflix for an estimated $150 million.

Rhimes created the ABC megahits Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal, Private Practice and How to Get Away with Murder before the joining the streaming service in 2017.

Bridgerton is based on a series of novels from Julia Quinn about a family navigating British society in the early 1800’s. The social intrigue and romantic nature of the books align perfectly with the fast paced, sexually charged storytelling of most Shonda Rhimes creations. In the television series, the books are also reimagined as a more racially inclusive society, based on the theory that the actual Queen Charlotte was of mixed-race heritage.

The result is a ribald costume drama that feels frisky and fresh but not forced.

Keep an ear out for Oscar winner Julie Andrews, who serves as the narrator of the series.

okPORK, Blue & Gold Sausage donate to Regional Food Bank On Dec. 11, the Oklahoma Pork Council donated $10,000 to the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma to support its Food for Kids Programs.

This brings the total of okPORK dona‐ tions since the partnership began to more than $162,000. This year, Brett Ramsey with Blue & Gold Sausage joined us and donated 5,000 pounds of sausage to the Regional Food Bank.

“We are happy to make the prod‐ uct donation to the Regional Food Bank,” said Brett Ramsey, owner of Blue & Gold Sausage. “It is something we do periodically as resources allow, and I think in this season in particular, it is really important for people to give. In these circum‐ stances, we are happy to do so.”

The Pork for Packs and Beef for

Backpacks programs provide chroni‐ cally hungry children with backpacks filled with non‐perishable, nutritious, shelf‐stable food to sustain them over weekends and throughout school hol‐ idays. This donation from okPORK will allow the Regional Food Bank to process and package more than 28,000 pork sticks. The Regional Food Bank works with multiple organizations to solicit and steward animal donations, which are harvest‐ ed for the sticks. Many of these ani‐ mal donations come from the gen‐ erosity of Oklahoma 4‐H and FFA members. okPORK is helping to spread holi‐ day cheer by doubling the impact of its donation in the fight against hunger through the Regional Food

Bank of Oklahoma's annual Holiday Match. Thanks to gifts from AMPEX and the Cresap Family Foundation, okPORK’s $10,000 donation increased to $20,000.

“Feeding hungry Oklahomans, especially in the hard times so many are facing right now, is important to Oklahoma pork producers,” said Roy Lee Lindsey, okPORK executive direc‐ tor. “Which is why we enjoy giving such a large donation to the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma. We know the money, along with the matching funds, will help feed hungry kids all around the state, particularly during the holidays.”

Last year, more than 1 million pro‐ tein sticks were generated through these partnerships. Oklahoma is con‐

sistently one of the hungriest states in the nation. Food is the most essen‐ tial school supply, yet one in four children in Oklahoma has inconsis‐ tent access to food, which is why okPORK’s donation is so important.

"This year, more than ever, it is imperative that Oklahoma children have access to nutritious meals and snacks," said Stacy Dykstra, chief executive officer of the Regional Food Bank. “The generosity of the Oklaho‐ ma Pork Council and its members across the state will help provide thousands of snacks and smiles, to children during these difficult times.”

Out of an abundance of caution, the Regional Food Bank temporarily suspended all volunteer opportuni‐ ties to the public.

The solution to the Great Hymnal Robbery

By Walker Moore The Baptist Messenger In the late ‘50s, our little country church congregation was split down the middle. The older people wanted to keep the hymnals we already had, but the younger generations wanted a new hymnal that contained some of the more contemporary hymns.

Now, if you know anything about Baptists, you know they are the most agreeable and gracious people on earth — that is, until they don’t get their way. We held a well-attended business meeting where both old and young presented their sides. The older people shared their love for the triedand-true hymns of old. These hymns contained sound doctrine, they explained and people visiting from other churches would feel out of place with new-fangled hymnals.

Then the younger people presented their side. They said music had changed over the years and they wanted hymns that would attract their generation. They preferred the new hymnal that contained both old and new hymns.

The frugal older congregation had come out of the Great Depression and didn’t think it would be wise to spend so much money on new hymnals.

This argument went on for months — until one day, someone broke into the church and stole the hymnals right out of the pews.

The younger church members weren’t too upset about the robbery, but the older ones walked around stunned. The police were called in, and the newspaper reported on “The Great Hymnal Robbery.” The police questioned many of the younger folks. Their

conclusion was that either the younger members of the congregations were good at protecting the thief or they really didn’t know anything about who might have done it.

To this day, the thief has never been caught, and no one has come forward to confess. I was disappointed that I was never interrogated or fingerprinted. I guess a 7year-old boy wasn’t considered a likely suspect.

In our county, stealing a hymnal was almost as serious as stealing someone’s dog. There was a lot of speculation about who did it and why. Back then, a Baptist church without hymnals was like a guitar player without strings.

Our church called an emergency business meeting, and the new hymnals were approved. Months went by, and we adjusted to the change. The music leader made sure each side of the congregation had several of its favorites sung each Sunday. So instead of one side being totally disappointed over the music selection every week, both sides were only half disappointed.

Fall turned into winter and winter into spring. Our little church held its annual revival, and it was successful, as several of the people we were praying for in our community came to saving grace that week. In our church, next to a potluck dinner, a baptismal service ranked right up there. But our little church didn’t have one of those modern-day baptistries. The floor of the platform was the door of the baptistry. Someone would come in on Saturday and raise the floor to reveal a concrete vault that looked like one of the ones used in a cemetery to hold a coffin. In fact, to a 7-year-old boy with a vivid

imagination who observed these baptisms, the words “buried with Christ” had a dual meaning.

But on this particular Saturday, when the floor was raised before filling the vault with water, there in the bottom of the baptistry lay the stolen hymnals. They hadn’t been stolen after all, just relocated.

When the older members heard of this great discovery, you would have thought the ark of the covenant had been found. The next day, when the members gathered to worship, they had their choice of hymnals from which to sing “Amazing Grace,” and everyone went home happy.

Yes, this is a true story. As one who has spent more than 40 years ministering in churches, I have seen church members argue about so many things: coffee, carpet, colors and everything in between.

Looking back, I know those arguments didn’t add to the growth of the Kingdom. They were just ploys of the enemy to sidetrack us from the main things. When we are busy studying His Word, praying for the lost and meeting the needs of the hurting in our church and community, we don’t really have much time to argue over which hymnals to use.

Whatever happened to those hymnals, anyway? Most churches don’t use them anymore. If you’re going to have an argument, argue over things of eternal value; that is what really matters. Maybe this is why the wise Apostle Paul gave the following advice to young Timothy. “Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone … ” (2 Tim. 2:23-24).

Ancient Mysteries Revealed: Spiro Exhibition A nearly forgotten people who created one of the most highly-developed civilizations in the Americas. An archaeological find unmatched in modern times. How did these incredible works of art and other treasures from all over North America end up hidden for hundreds of years, and why?

Opening February 12, 2021 at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum, “Spiro and the Art of the Mississippian World” will seek to answer these questions and more in the first major presentation on the Spiro Mounds ever undertaken by a museum, representing the first, and possibly last, time these artifacts will be reunited from various collections across the country.

“We are incredibly pleased to announce this unparalleled exhibi-

tion, which will give proper honor and representation to the culture and historical impact of the people of Spiro,” said Natalie Shirley, The Cowboy president and CEO. “Our staff has worked for years to create a world-class, exciting and collaborative presentation of a people who have been overlooked for too long.”

This exhibition will share the art, history and culture of the people of Spiro through approximately 175 objects, as well as an accompanying publication, website, public symposium and panel discussion. It was created in collaboration with representatives from the Caddo and Wichita Nations, the descendants of the Spiroan people, and with contributions by 17 humanities scholars from nearly a dozen universities and museums from across the United States.

How to sanitize your phone Your device is dirtier than you may think. Here are some safe ways to keep it clean.

The bathroom, the gym, your pocket—these are a few of the places where you risk exposing your phone to serious bacteria such as E. Coli and highly contagious viruses like COVID-19. In fact, research shows our phones are 10 times dirtier than a public toilet seat.

Before you get out the bleach and latex gloves, here are some easy (and safe) ways to clean your device.

Wipe it down daily. No, not with Clorox® disinfecting wipes, which are great for killing germs, but too harsh on your phone’s screen (paper towels are also too rough). Instead, try a lint-free, microfiber cloth—like the kind you might use on a pair of glasses—to remove the fingerprints and dirt from your phone’s surface.

Another option: Use a cotton swab to clean any spaces you can’t reach.

Add a little solution. Once a

week, give your phone a deeper clean by using distilled water and 70 percent isopropyl alcohol. Mix onepart water with one-part alcohol in a spray bottle and use it to lightly dampen your microfiber cloth. Be sure to turn off your phone first, and avoid getting any moisture in the cracks while cleaning.

Try UV light. Want to skip the dirty work altogether? Consider a UV sanitizing device such as PhoneSoap, Steri Wand, Casetify, Mophie and ILive. They use ultraviolet light to kill 99.9% of germs in about 10 minutes. UV light works because it damages the DNA of bacteria and the DNA or RNA of viruses. If you damage the DNA of the bacteria it dies and if you damage the nucleic acid of the virus enough it cannot infect.

Don’t use your phone in the bathroom! It’s dirty in there and your texts can wait.

Broadway to Beastie Boys: Jewish Roots in American Popular Music Join Zemer Linda Sweenie as she explores the impact of Judaism and Jewish culture on American popular music composers from the 1930s to the present. This two-session series will address how traditional Jewish melodic influences and ethical themes have played major roles in shaping the sounds and messages of modern American music.

Broadway to Beastie Boys is free to attend, but pre-registration is required at jfedokc.org.

Zemer Sweenie is the Music Director of Temple B'nai Israel, where she leads music for worship, directs adult and youth choirs, directs the Hebrew School, tutors b’nai mitzvah students and teaches a

variety of classes for children and adults.

In addition, she, her husband Glenn Philips and bass player Randy Deutch form the contemporary Jewish band Shir Balev (Hebrew for “Song in the Heart”) and have led worship and played concerts throughout the Midwest for the last 18 years. A nationally recognized composer and arranger, Zemer Sweenie is a proud member of the Women Cantors’ Network and her catalog of original compositions is licensed for use through J-License.

This program is co-sponsored by the Jewish Federation and Temple B'nai Israel. Zoom series is Feb. 4 and Feb. 18 at 6:00 pm.

Do not get scammed by vaccine emails, calls I

received an email from a friend entitled “Protect Yourself, Avoid COVID-19 vaccine scams.” It contained bullet points that were “signs of potential scams.”

“You are asked to pay out of pocket to get the vaccine.”

“You are asked to pay to put your name on a waiting list.”

“Advertisement for vaccines through social media platforms, email, telephone calls, online, or from unsolicited sources.”

“Marketers offering to sell or ship doses of the vaccine for payment.”

Insignias of agencies of everyone from the FBI to the HHS Office of Inspector General filled the bottom of the notice.

The advice seemed accurate since it’s official: the COVID-19 vaccine will be free for all, regardless of whether you have private health insurance, are uninsured, or are on Medicare.

In MY Opinion by VICKI CLARK GOURLEY vicki@okcfriday.com

I called my friend to ask who had sent her the email. She didn’t know. After passing it on, she deleted it.

The problem with electronic notices like these is there is no easy way to verify if it is the truth. Is “fbi.gov/coronavirus” real, or is something set up by the anti-vaxers?

Secure .gov websites use HTTPS. The ones listed on the anti-fraud notice appear to be real but they are not secure. The is no HTTPS when you go to them.

The Oklahoma State Department of Health website for vaccine info is: https://oklahoma.gov/covid19/vaccineinformation.html. It is launching a portal to register for the vaccine.

These tips from Integris Health are worth reading to protect you.

Never share your personal, medical, or financial information, including Social Security, credit or bank card numbers, by email, text message, or over the phone with someone that you do not know.

Do not respond to calls or texts from unknown numbers or numbers that appear suspicious. Scammers will often try to get important information or immediate payment over the phone. Only share personal or payment information with people or companies you know. The government will never call you to ask for personal information or money.

Letter to the Editor: Dear Editor.

In a recent issue of your paper OKC FRIDAY, November 13, 2020, there was a published “Memorial” to my late Father, Judge Frank Miskovsky. There were several discrepancies in that “Memorial” attempting to re-write history My Father was never known as “Frank Miskovsky II.” He did have a long and distinguished career and passed way far too young.

When my Father passed away in June of 1968 there were only 2 survivors, my Mother Goldie B. Miskovsky and myself Frank Miskovsky III. I believe the “Memorial” is an attempt by someone to change the legacy of my Father.

I just wanted to set the record straight.

Thank You, Frank Miskovsky III

Of Mice and Men: Trying to set the trap on migrant rodents Softhearted Jerry Richardson is forced to try to trap the mice which have invaded his property.

O

kay, so nine years ago we built a house on the golf course and thought that pretty cool. But we didn’t realize the responsibility that entailed. The snooty mice that live here all have masters degrees in engineering.

Mid-summer we were sipping wine on chaise lounges on the patio. (Are you picturing how elegant this appears?) Husband Jerry says, “What was that?” observing something dashing across a lowered stone walkway. Then, it happened again.

Body-shape made us realize it could only be a mouse. Game on!

Now as background: Jerry even carries spiders outside on a piece of paper to romp with their friends, he is SO tender-hearted.

But the prospect of a frizzy-headed banshee leaping onto a lamp table while screeching (me) if a mouse came indoors, moved him to action.

Bringing ancient traps in from the garage, he put “cookie butter” onto these instruments of torture and set out three. Well, netting one culprit, he was encouraged. His menu grew more sophisticated: bacon, stinky cheese, soft cheese and that netted two more.

Then upon internet suggestions, chewedup Tootsie Rolls. (Who thought that up?) That

was followed by nuts covered in peanut butter, a string tied around a ham-covered nut, hot links, bird seed encased peanut butter – and FOUR more decreased the population of rodents.

However, to play with him, a mouse ate the ham-covered nut, sprung the trap, and left the string to mock Jerry, while the mouse ran home to laugh with his buddies.

A text from Pama Palmer supported the efficacy of AUTHENZO as seen on the Internet. The theme from “Jaws” played as we opened the Amazon package.

Mind you, there were often traps flipped onto flower bushes, some upside down, all sprung and no captures, mice just love playing with you.

One trap must have stunned a big mouse as he was just laying there, alive.

Jerry’s heart hurt.

Seeing Jerry’s distress, I cut a vacuum cleaner bag in half and fashioned oven-mitt things over his hands and he picked up the stunned, but alive critter and

walked it a block away into a marsh-like area of the golf course to let it go. We didn’t have to have a funeral service for that one.

As I write, there have been six baitings of six Authenzos and nobody has succumbed. Worthless.

But it is a fun activity toy for rodents as the mice have flipped them everywhere after downloading “How to Mess with the Authenzo” on the rodent internet. If you are “incrowd” with critters, you know to watch “America’s Funniest Fuming People Yard/Home Videos” – they love to upload their antics and devious ways to spring traps, unscathed.

Gracious behavior though, these guys haven’t tried to come into the house anywhere. It is perhaps the sight of us in the early morning mousechecks, in our pajamas, with wacky rumpled hair, morning breath that didn’t smell like fine cheese and their realization that I can be a real loud and annoying shrew to live with.
