THE LAST BELL

Andrew Johnson classes are to be dismissed for final time

For now, pantry will stay put

Andrew Johnson Elementary School has a small serve-yourself “walk-up library,” at left.

By Mike W. Ray Staff Writer

Andrew Johnson Elementary School in The Village is one of at least 13 schools that Oklahoma City Public Schools plan to close at the end of the current school year. Johnson students will be reassigned to other schools. The “pine pantry” near the entrance doors, above, was installed just recently.

For now, the new Pine Pantry bolted to the exterior wall at the front entrance to Andrew Johnson Elementary School in The Village will remain where it is. The pantry, pictured left, is a source of free food and household supplies (such as toothpaste and toothbrushes, tissues and toilet paper, diapers and children’s wipes) for needy families. A ribbon-cutting ceremony to dedicate the small, wooden receptacle was held in mid-January amid great fanfare. One week later it was announced that Johnson Elementary is one of at least 13 schools in the Oklahoma City Public Schools district that will be mothballed after the current school year ends in May. The pine pantry probably will be moved to another school eventually, said Aley Cristelli, who has led efforts to create and install six such larders in the Oklahoma City metro area. “We’ll leave it where it is, for now,” she said recently. “We’ll deal with moving it when we have to.”

Village computers paralyzed by malware

Anonymous, remote criminals attempted to extort money from the City of The Village recently by infecting the municipal computer network with malicious software. The “ransomware” virus paralyzed some of the city’s functions for two full days, but the system was restored from backup sources and the cybercriminals received not a penny of the public’s money. The City Hall computer system sustained a ransomware attack on Jan. 13, records reflect. “We came to work the next day and found our network server locked down and an email message providing contact information on how we could get our files decrypted,” City Manager Bruce Stone said. However, the extortionists did not specify how much ransom they expected to be paid in exchange for decrypting the city’s files, he said. The city’s information technology (IT) specialist “is confident that the virus got in when

Peter Hoffman Jr., who is completing his 12th year on the council and his fourth term as mayor, previously announced that he will seek re-election in Ward 2.

Despite what was called a “challenging year,” the United Way of Central Oklahoma surpassed its 2018 campaign goal of $17 million. The organization revealed a grand total of $17,002,191 during its 17th annual Snowflake Gala at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. The funds were raised through more than 550 employee workplace campaigns, corporate gifts and individual donors. This year’s campaign had more than 30,000 generous donors. Campaigns were run at 34 brand new companies, which helped reach this year’s aggressive $17 million goal. “This year's campaign achieved what was most

important — raising the money needed to fund health and social services programming that supports the well-being of our community,” Debby Hampton, United Way president and CEO, said. “Our 58 Partner Agencies are the best of the best and funds raised during our campaign will provide much needed support to these organizations at a time when our community needs them more than ever.” Making it to that total was challenging this year, Hampton said. She credited the campaign's success to Oklahomans' notoriously giving spirit and the hard work of campaign chairman Sean Trauschke, OGE Energy Corp chairman, president & CEO.

Phil establishes Wiggin Concert Fund The Philharmonic is announced the establishment of the Wiggin Family Concert Fund to be held and managed as part of the Philharmonic’s Affiliated Fund at the Oklahoma City Community Foundation. A generous lead gift from Chuck and Renate Wiggin has been matched with an addi-

tional gift of $333,000 from the Kirkpatrick Family Fund. Annual distributions from The Fund will support audience development activities of the orchestra and will be used for adventurous, attention-grabbing concert-based endeavors. These efforts will focus on attracting new, different and non-traditional audiences, including but not limited to patrons who have

an interest in contemporary music and artists, new music and specially commissioned works of music, conceptual and experiencebased presentations and other extraordinary projects. “I am unable to adequately express my appreciation to Chuck and Renate and the Kirkpatrick Family Fund,” Maestro Mickelthwate. “These gifts are truly ground-break-

tech support for our court system software accessed our server to address an issue,” Stone told the City Council. “However,” he added, “this would be hard to prove.” All files on the network server were encrypted by the ransomware and thus rendered inaccessible, Stone said; those included data files such as resolutions and city council infor-

SCHOOL From Page 1 grades five through eight; and high school, grades nine through 12. Consequently: • Greystone Elementary, 2401 NW 114th Terrace, is slated to become a middle school. • West Nichols Hills Elementary, 8400 N. Greystone, would become an “application” middle school for Belle Isle fifth and sixth graders. That means their parents/guardians would have to apply to get their children admitted to the school, said Arely Martin, the district’s media relations manager. Belle Isle Enterprise Middle School, which now has grades 6, 7 and 8, would become an application school for seventh and eighth graders. • Nichols Hills Elementary, 1301 W Wilshire; Quail Creek Elementary, 11700 Thornridge Road; Ridgeview Elementary, 10010 Ridgeview Drive; and Britton Elementary, 1215 NW 95th, would accommodate students in prekindergarten through fourth grade. All four of those are now conventional elementary schools whose student body consists of children in pre-K through sixth grade. In a related P2G change, students promoted from those four elementary schools would advance to Greystone Middle School. The district’s realignment plans were developed from “a very detailed, datainformed process that involved an array of specific criteria” which included “demographic projections, utilization, academic performance and facility condition, among others,” Martin said. Andrew Johnson’s average daily attendance (ADA) in the 2016-17 school year (203.3 students) was the third-lowest among the district’s 54 elementary schools; it surpassed only Gatewood (173.2 pupils) and Edgemere (180.5 students) that year. Both of those schools are targeted for closure, too. Most of the other schools recorded ADAs that ranged from the 300s up to the 800s. Average capacity among the district’s schools is approximately 60 percent, and deep cuts in state aid are expected during the next two years because

mation packets, and the municipal court system was shut down, he said. However, bookkeeping functions, utility billing and accounts payable are stored in the “cloud” and were not affected, nor was the police department, the city manager said. “We didn’t respond” to the cybercriminals “because there was nothing to discuss,” he said. The IT specialist “cleaned and restored our system” from backup disks “and we are back to normal,”

Stone said. “We recovered everything.” Afterward, changes were implemented in the city’s computer security protocol “to eliminate as many vulnerabilities as possible,” he said. “We’ve done everything we can to make our system secure.” The Village has cybersecurity insurance through the Oklahoma Municipal Assurance Group, Stone said, “and we will file a claim for reimbursement after we have received the invoice for the

cleanup and recovery.” City Hall experienced a similar attack in 2015, Stone said. IT records show the City of The Village sustained more than 540 cyberattacks in one week earlier this month. The city’s “firewall” software blocked 145 attempted unauthorized intrusions on Jan. 9 and 151 attempts the next day, plus 245 attempts on Jan. 15. The malware targeted different applications on The Village’s computer server and the attempted

“break-ins” often came in flurries, multiple attempts occurring in rapid succession. The source of the malicious software was not known, but the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation was notified about the incident, Stone said. Computer viruses are spread “in numerous different ways,” such as in Word and Excel documents, in videos and photographs, in pdf ’s and in email messages, said Neil Gray, information systems manager

of predicted declines in enrollment. Enrollment in Oklahoma City public schools has dropped by 1,619 over the past three years, to 44,138 students this year, according to the State Department of Education. Test scores at Andrew Johnson Elementary during the state school testing program in 2017 were abysmal, district records reflect. Just 16 percent of the school’s fourth graders and 29 percent of the fifth graders scored satisfactory or advanced in reading. And only 12 percent of the fourth graders, 29 percent of the fifth graders and 8 percent of the sixth graders were proficient in math. Andrew Johnson school is a 68-year-old building, although it has had some renovations. However, Jackson Enterprise Elementary, built in 1910, along with Shidler and Stand Watie elementary schools, both constructed in 1930, are not on the “hit” list. District officials are “working to make sure” that all employees at schools targeted for closure “are able to keep their jobs,” Martin said. District officials said no reductions-in-force are anticipated but assignments are yet “to be determined.” Students who attend Andrew Johnson will be reassigned to other schools. Johnson students can transfer to “a variety of schools, depending on where they live,” Martin said.

Cathy Cummings, vice mayor of The Village, expressed concern about the fate of special needs students who attend Johnson Elementary. The school, at 1810 Sheffield Road in Cummings’ Ward 4, has “many disabled children,” she said. District records show that 24.3 percent of the Johnson Elementary pupils in school year 2016-17 were special education students. That was the highest rate among all elementary schools in the Oklahoma City district. The Village Mayor Sonny Wilkinson said he has had conversations with Superintendent McDaniel and with Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt about potential uses for the soon-to-be-shuttered Andrew Johnson school building. “We want something that will be a good fit with the neighborhood,” Wilkinson said. The Oklahoma City Public Schools district said it desires to have the vacated buildings repurposed “to meet other needs in the community.” Some preliminary suggestions have included early childhood centers, community health centers and after-school programs for youngsters. Several million dollars is projected to be saved from closing multiple schools and that money is to be spent on additional teachers, district officials said. Two of every five of the Oklahoma City district’s elementary schools have grades

taught by just one teacher. After P2G, all of the elementary schools are projected to have three or more teachers per grade because, “Building a culture of learning and collaboration among teachers is essential to the success of our students.” More electives and course offerings are planned in P2G, and lower class sizes are envisioned for grades K-6. Supt. Sean McDaniel has given his assurance that every elementary school will have full-time music, art and physical education teachers next year, as well as STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) programs and more counselors. McDaniel also said the district would provide science labs in all secondary schools. Several community

meetings have been held to explain three proposals in the P2G concept and the school board is scheduled to make its selection in March.

for the City of Nichols Hills. “Firewalls are designed to block viruses and then record a log of them to tell us what happened and when,” Gray said. “Some people launch cyberattacks for ‘kicks’,” he said. “There’s just so much of this that goes on all the time. You can’t let your guard down.”

2019 Sundance Film Festival

he 2019 Sundance Film Festival wrapped up this weekend in Park City, Utah. This was my ninth year attending on behalf of deadCenter Film. As always, Sundance showcased a wide array of thought provoking films, accompanied by the crowded parties and celebrity sightings that make this the most exciting film festival in America. I attend Sundance to discover the best independent films available and network with filmmakers to lure them to Oklahoma. This year, I was joined by deadCenter Director of Operations Alyx Picard Davis and Director of Programming Sara Thompson. So, we were able to see three times the amount of films and network with more filmmakers than ever. The slate of documentary films was as strong as ever, covering everything from biographies like Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool to current topics like American Factory. But, two films stood above the rest for me: Ask Dr. Ruth, an uplifting film about the 90-year-old sex therapist; and, APOLLO 11, an awe-inspiring look back at the moon landing. Ask Dr. Ruth is a fascinating portrait

of Dr. Ruth Westheimer, a German Jew who was shipped away from her family at 10 years old during the Holocaust. She eventually made her way to America, where she earned an advanced degree from Columbia University, became a sex therapist, and launched an empire of revolutionary radio programs, television shows, and books that brought honest conversations about sex out of the shadows and into the public. The film is directed by Ryan White, the Emmy nominated, Sundance winning director of The Case Against 8, which also won the Special Jury Prize at deadCenter. APOLLO 11 is a documentary from director Todd Douglas Miller that uses never released footage from NASA leading up to, during, and following the 1969 moon landing. In Miller’s capable hands, the gorgeous historic footage becomes a nail biting thriller and a great reminder of how awesome our country is when everyone is working together

towards a common cause. It is a huge crowd pleaser and the most patriotic Sundance film in years. The narrative films were also very strong this year, with serious dramas (Native Son, The Farewell), hilarious comedies (Troop Zero, The Death of Dick Long), and big stars taking on challenging roles, like Zac Efron from The Greatest Showman starring as serial killer Ted Bundy in Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile. But, the film with the biggest impact was Honey Boy, an autobiographical drama about the tragic childhood of actor Shia LeBeouf, who wrote the screenplay and starred as his own abusive father in the film. What could have been an annoying ego trip turned out to be an insightful look at the lingering effects of child abuse. As expected, Sundance is the most expensive time of year in Park City. The deadCenter team was only able to attend because Pete and Karen Delaney allowed us to stay in their gorgeous condo. Karen is a former deadCenter board chair and continues to be one of our most generous, thoughtful, and enthusiastic supporters.

COBA kicks off new Baby Café location Presbyterian Health Foundation made the year-end holidays much brighter for the Coalition of Oklahoma Breastfeeding Advocates (COBA). The Oklahoma City based foundation granted $2,500 in funds to support COBA’s Baby Café, a nationally acclaimed, community-based breastfeeding support program offered in Oklahoma City. COBA’s Baby Café welcomes breastfeeding mothers and families semimonthly to receive support from trained lactation professionals free of charge. The gathering is café style; an open forum where mothers and fami-

lies can share experiences and enjoy a healthy meal in a warm environment. For new mothers, the seemingly simple task of feeding their babies can be surprisingly difficult. While every major medical organization recommends full breastfeeding for at least one year, too many mothers do not have the support they need to overcome the challenges they encounter. In Oklahoma, women of color in particular face historical, cultural, and social barriers to breastfeeding. While 70% of minority women initiate breast-

feeding, just 7% make it to six months. The same families that are most at risk to lose a child before his or her first birthday are also the families least likely to have the protection of breastfeeding to reduce that risk. COBA, also an Oklahoma City based nonprofit, is a volunteer driven organization working to improve the health and wellbeing of Oklahoma’s infants and families. COBA launched Baby Café initially with grant funding from two national health organizations in 2014. As federal funding for this area of need ended,

COBA began seeking other funding sources to support its sole Baby Café, and has plans to launch more locations in OKC and Tulsa. Funds donated to this program pay for professional lactation services, breastfeeding supplies, meeting space, and healthy meals. To celebrate the recent opening of its new location, COBA will host a Baby Café Grand Opening Celebration at Cole Community Center in Oklahoma City on Saturday, Feb. 2, from 12 - 2 p.m. This kid friendly, come and go event will also be COBA's first meeting of the year.

OCU gets high marks for online programs

he U.S. News & World Report announced Oklahoma City University is ranked 37th in the country for Best Online Business Programs (non-MBA), specifically recognizing the online master’s programs in Energy Management and Energy Legal Studies. The Meinders School of Business retains its status as the number one business school in the state of Oklahoma for Best Online Business Programs (nonMBA) for the fourth consecutive year. “We are excited that U.S. News & World Report recognized and highly ranked our energy master’s degrees for the fifth year in a row,” said Graduate Energy Program Director Meredith A. Wegener. “Being ranked No. 1 in Oklahoma again is a significant accomplishment, and being ranked number 37 among all colleges and universities nationwide is a prestigious honor and a true differentiator for the Meinders School of Business.” The Energy Legal Studies and Energy Management degrees provide rigorous, graduate-level education for professionals working in the energy industry. The energyfocused curriculum prepares graduates to succeed in leadership roles or begin their own company. The Meinders School of Business began offering livestreaming, hybrid courses in 2012 to outof-state students and on-campus students who relocated or traveled frequently for work. The desire to complete the degree fully online has grown exponentially in recent years, and because of this, the two programs in energy will be offered fully online beginning in the 2019 fall semester. “It is upon this success that we are building a fully online energy program for all students in fall 2019. Our engagement with the energy industry will continue to expand beyond the region and make a positive impact on the energy industry throughout the country.” The full list and methodology can be viewed on the U.S. News & World Report website.

U.S. News ranked the schools on five general categories: student engagement, a measure of how well students can interact with their instructors and fellow classmates; student excellence; expert opinion, a survey of high-ranking academic officials in business; faculty credentials and training; and student services technology. U.S. News selects factors, known as ranking indicators, to assess each program in those categories. The Meinders School of Business ranks in the top 4.5 percent of business schools in the world and has earned accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB International). The MS in Energy Management and MS in Energy Legal Studies programs are also accredited by the American Association of Professional Landmen.

Teachers want what’s best for students by Allison Jones

Amanda Pardue teaches art to Upper Division students and Blake Pardue teaches French.

CASADY COMMUNITY

ohn Kelly recently asked my world history class to define success. I replied that success is being able to do what you love. Based on this perspective, the Pardue family is a genuine example of success. Blake Pardue teaches French and Amanda Pardue teaches art to Upper Division students. They have two young daughters: six-yearold Grace and twoyear-old Zoë. They also have a beloved rescue dog, Scout, who is a lab mix. The Pardues enjoy the simplicity and beauty of walking around the Casady Lake to the Primary Division as Grace rides her scooter. They treasure the experience of teaching together. “At the end of the

day, how many people get to have such a lovely walk to their car after doing what they love with the people they love,” Mrs Pardue said. Mr. And Mrs. Pardue began dating while teaching at the same school. They now have busy schedules with a young family and classes to prepare for and teach, so they enjoy the days they can have lunch together. “It takes me back to when we started dating,” she said. “I

enjoy having that sweet time.” She shared that Mr. Pardue makes dinner every night. This school year, Mr. Pardue made the transition from the Middle Division to the Upper Division, where he enjoys teaching higher levels of French and being able to discuss more complicated topics. During his 12 years of teaching, his favorite teaching memories are laughing in class.

As a teacher, Mr. Pardue said he always wanted what was best for his students. “As a person, that I was a faithful disciple of Christ.” The Pardues don’t make New Years resolutions. “Each day is a good day for a resolution,” he said. “Carpe Diem!” Getting to know Mr. and Mrs. Pardue, it is easy to see that Casady students are led by wonderful examples of success.

Nichols Hills mayor details city projects Dear Friends: Happy New Year everyone! I hope this letter finds you in good health and good spirits. We are truly blessed to live in our wonderful Nichols Hills community; and, as we begin the new year together, I thought I would take a moment to highlight some of the accomplishments of the many committed individuals of our city who have been working hard to deliver a highquality service to our community. Regarding housing related actions, much continues to happen in this most important area. In 2018, the City Council adopted eleven ordinances updating city building codes and standards, including heightened standards for wind resistance and exterior building materials. Also, we adopted an ordinance giving stricter scrutiny to homes proposed for demolition, which we believe will help protect the charm, character and tradition of Nichols Hills and ensure new homes will be built to quality standards before any existing homes will be demolished. These ordinances were developed after many months of deliberation and with input from members of the Oklahoma Uniform Building Code Commission, our own City Building

Code Committee, local developers, architects, contractors, and the general public. With regard to traffic and safety, the Police Department acquired new technology to help them protect and serve our community, including e-ticket machines and an automatic license plate recognition system that takes photographs of license plates it sees while on patrol and then builds a database for officers to search when criminal activity warrants. We were also proud to be recognized by Safewise as the second safest city in Oklahoma and the 45th safest city in the United States. Street paving continues to be a high priority. Center Grand Boulevard, Queenstown Road (1600 Block) and the intersection of Huntington and Canterbury Place were all repaved in 2018 and several more paving projects are expected in 2019. For 2019, the next street projects will include West (South) Grand

Boulevard, Hemstead Place (1100 Block), Sherwood Lane (1100 and 1200 Blocks), Windsor Place (1700 Block), and Trenton Road (Fenwick to Bedford). Water continues to be a very important issue and your city continues to work hard to ensure long term sustainable water supplies. In 2018, the city cleaned, repaired, and redrilled three water wells, and is in the process of replacing over 16,000 linear feet of water lines throughout the city. City staff and leadership are also making plans for water treatment improvements in the future that will both help reduce arsenic risks and soften the water reaching our faucets. Revenue and financial stability are primary focuses. Our city continues to grow and prosper with the opening of several new retail businesses, paired with sound, conservative stewardship of public funds. City staff and management have done an outstanding job of balancing the budget, as evidenced by S&P Global Ratings (a national financial services company that publishes financial research analysis on

stocks, bonds, and commodities) issuing the city an AA+ credit rating, and an “unqualified” independent audit from Arledge & Associates (a nationally-recognized audit and accounting firm), which is the best possible outcome in an audit. This kind of municipal financial stability is rare in today’s world, and I hope everyone appreciates the excellent job being done by all City employees. The city has also made great strides toward improving the overall quality of life in our community. In 2018, the city installed irrigation lines in many parks and irrigation control systems in parks citywide, which will enhance the park experience and also more efficiently make use of our water supply. Trail lights were installed in Davis Park, which has added to the ambiance of that Park when experienced on an evening walk. We have Channel 20 up and running again, and public meetings are now livestreamed online at www.nicholshills.net. Additionally, this year the city issued a permit to Fertile Ground, a recycling and composting com-

pany providing houseside services to residents. Fertile Ground’s services are completely voluntary to residents, so you will need to contact them if you want them to service your home. You may find information about Fertile Ground on the city’s website. Looking to the future, city leadership spent many months reviewing possible projects to be included in future bond issues. A committee of residents was formed and held several public meetings before recommending the City Council call a citywide election to consider eight categories of capital improvement projects. The City Council reviewed this recommendation, and after several subsequent meetings, adopted a resolution calling an election for $28.45 million in bonds for the following projects: 1. $13 million for street paving projects 2. $6.55 million for water system improvements, including a water treatment facility 3. $1.6 million for sanitary system improvements 4. $750,000 for park improvements 5. $4.05 million for fire department improvements, includ-

ing additions to the fire station, a training tower at the Public Works facility, a replacement ladder truck, and a replacement fire engine 6. $1 million for technology infrastructure improvements 7. $1 million for Public Works facility improvements 8. $500,000 for equipped police vehicles These bonds, if approved, would not increase the city’s levy on your property taxes. The election will be held on Feb. 12. I encourage you to vote on these important decisions for our city so that your voice is heard. In closing, I want to thank all the city employees, Commissioners, Committee members, the City Council and the numerous volunteers who have worked so diligently on behalf of our citizens. I am grateful for the support, encouragement, and kind words regarding the progress the city has made during this past year. It is an honor to be part of this most excellent team and I look forward to a great new year together. Your friend and Mayor, E. Peter Hoffman Jr.

Sue Ann welcomes friends to new home for birthday celebration

iggling with giggles was Sue Ann Hyde as she welcomed friends to see “what we’ve been doing over here.” Sue Ann and Dudley sold their long-time home and moved into a cool one-story home, formerly that of Linda Rosser McDaniel and Buzz McDaniel. The Hydes put their very distinctive Santa Fe touch on the changes and additions with help from Linda Howell. It’s bright, wonderful and showcases all the Hyde’s fabulous art and textured pieces. Sue Ann couldn’t wait to have a party, and she neglected to mention in extending an invitation that it was also

her birthday. But girlfriends know stuff like that and came bearing cards and bags. Admiring handsome and color-coordinated closets, Marilyn Meade and I marveled over the precise organization of it all. Marilyn was laughing at husband Bud’s latest acquisition. It seems that with an amused smile on his face, he said that their dog Murphy wanted to look at new cars. That’s not as odd as you think in that Mar-

Above: Lonnie Childress and Jane Webb are newly engaged. Below: Karen and Gary Hargrove worked together in their careers, reunited and were married in 2010.

ilyn never gets in Bud’s car as the passenger seat is lined with dog fur and Marilyn doesn’t like being banished to the back seat. After conferring with Murphy, Bud came home with a cherry red sports car. Dog has extremely good taste. Admiring lighted shelves of unique Indian pottery were Ann Ackerman, Helen Wallace, Cindy Biddinger, Kathy Walker and Karen Browne. Superior caterer Debby Davis Saunders created about a dozen dishes from Sue Ann’s favorite recipes everything from Pozole to Chimichurri Shrimp. See JOY, Page 12

For reference we were given the names of the offerings along with the cookbooks from which we could extrapolate the recipes, plus some of Sue Ann’s favorite sayings, i.e.: “A friend may well be reckoned a masterpiece of nature” quoting Ralph Waldo Emerson. And a random saying “It really wasn’t any of her business what anyone thought of her. So, she decided she was going to be herself.” That, ladies and gentlemen, sums up Sue Ann — a true original. She tirelessly works on causes that she feels need exposure – often things about which we know nothing, but then she was president of the Junior League, and has chaired almost everything in our state. Others enjoying the celebration were Leslie Schwartz, Bev Kanaly, Lana Lopez, Jane Thompson, Kirk Hammons, Ann Johnstone, Cynda Ottaway, Cherry Kay Clifford, Dede Maxwell, Janie Axton and the Hyde’s daughter from San Francisco, Corey Hyde. Enjoying “chocolate shooters” were Susan Dobson, Sally Starling, Sally Bentley, Marion Paden, Barbara Harjo, Carol Troy and Joan Frates. • So many attractive, caring and talented people gathered at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum for the 2019 Mercy Gala. Many activi-

ties drew supporters in. First were cocktails and silent auction, then a lovely dinner, a live auction, live concert by Runaway June (the “Next Hot Trend in Country Music) – and topping that was an After Party with DJ Kirby who has performed with The Black-Eyed Peas, Bon Jovi, Britney Spears, etc. — so you could dance forever. We needed a nap! Surveying the paintings, jewelry, concert ticket packages, vacation homes for auction, football watch parties, Thunder Suite and on and on were Susan and Jay Johnston, Lora and Steve Brown (a member of the Mercy Health Foundation Board of Directors), Sherry Rhodes, Linda and John Drumm, Terri Cooper (also board), Alison Taylor, Mary Blankenship Pointer. Becky Stough (board) and husband Mark Clinton, Kay and Gates Oliver, Bob Meinders, Jean and James Hartsuck (board), and Jenne and Curt Knudsen – Jenne being regional director of operations. You know how you have known someone for a long while but never really stopped to have a meaningful conversation, yet you think you know them? Sitting with Lora Brown was a real treat as we’d always just greeted one another in passing. Lora is so sweet and pretty, but I found her to be an empathetic and strong woman with such intrinsic value, discovering her depth is the gift of a Mercy Gala evening. Presenting Sponsor was Jose Freede, Entertain-

Gebhart honored the Sisters of Mercy after a prayer by Sr. M. Rose Elizabeth Power. No holds barred was auctioneer Don Armes – egad, the man was on fire! But he charmed and cajoled the last dollar out of the happy bidding bunch.
