Friend and patient comes to Doc Lowe’s rescue By Vicki Clark Gourley Publisher

Jack Coffman, retired OG&E executive is still wearing his shirt as he and Dane Marable build a ramp for Jack’s friend, Dr. Jim Lowe, so he can get out his front door after hip surgery.

COVID survivor: It was scary By Rose Lane Editor Kristen Bohanon had just returned from a spring break trip to Cancun when she started to feel achy. She said she wasn’t miserable — it was more like she was sore from exercising. But it didn’t go away. Kristen said she didn’t want to alarm her family and friends by saying anything. “It was scary as I kept thinking I’d get better and I didn’t,” she said. As her fever hovered around 103-104 degrees and up to 106 degrees, she decided it was time to speak up. “I said, ‘I’m pretty sure I have it.” “It” being COVID-19. Kristen had been talking to doctors repeatedly who advised her not to go to the hospital unless she couldn’t breathe. She had an oxygen meter and was doing fine as it stood at 90 percent. Then, her oxygen level

dipped to 82 percent and she said she knew it was time to go to a clinic. At the clinic, she was tested for COVID-19 and was positive. Kristen was also diagnosed with double pneumonia and sent right to the emergency room. At the hospital, she was given a couple of bags of fluids and sent home with antibiotics. Part of her, she said, wanted to stay in the hospital, but the doctors advised otherwise. “Trust me, you don’t want to be here,” they said. She said the hospital was very quiet and she only saw a few other people. That day, in early April, was the last fever she has had and she has felt continually better ever since. She registered with the Health Department and the Oklahoma Blood Institute as she may be able to donate plasma. “I am happy to do that,” Kristen said.

When dentist Dr. Jim Lowe needed emergency surgery on his hip last week friends rallied to help anyway they could. Discharged from the hospital and unable to put any weight on his leg, Jim’s son, plastic surgeon Dr. James B. Lowe and his friend, Dr. Randy Sukman, carried Jim up the stairs into his bed. All the entrances

into the Lowes’ home on Wilshire have steps. Jim’s wife Linda called all the hospital supply companies. It would take a month for a custom ramp. Jack Coffman, friend and patient, knocked on the Lowes’ door the next day. He would build a custom ramp for the front door and would start on it immediately with the assistance of of his friend, Dean Marable. See RAMP, Page 3

The ramp makes it possible for Dr. Lowe to come out the front door and get to the car in the driveway.

Lyric Theatre postpones season

From Page 1

For more than 56 years, Lyric Theatre of Oklahoma’s mission has been constant: to create theatre that thrills and enriches peoples’ lives. “We’ve embraced the very best of theatre tradition since the beginning and are proud of the world-class productions we create for the people of Oklahoma,” said Producing Artistic Director Michael Baron. “Since 1963, we’ve staged more than 300 productions, serving hundreds of thousands of patrons.” From the company’s roots on the campus at Oklahoma City University to the grand Civic Center Music Hall and now the intimate Lyric at the Plaza, Lyric productions have served Oklahoma and the nation by fostering new works, reinventing classics, educating youth and developing the careers of some of the most important artists in the American Theatre. “With so much uncertainty facing the world today, telling stories through the arts has become even more essential,” said Producing Artistic Director Michael Baron. “While we live by the motto of ‘The show must go on’, right now, we respectfully ask our patrons to share an intermission with us.” In coordination with state and federal leaders, Baron and other Lyric administrators have been monitoring for several weeks the spread of COVID-19. For the safety of patrons, staff, and artists, Lyric must postpone its remaining 2020 regular season programming to next year, Baron said. Lyric at the Plaza productions of

McGee Award recipient, has touched nearly every downtown initiative in the past 20 years in her current role as president and CEO of The Alliance for Economic Development of Oklahoma City and previously as assistant city manager. Operating behind the scenes, she was instrumental in the development of downtown by leading efforts to ensure the success of the MAPS 3 projects, redevelop The Skirvin Hilton, recruitment of Dell and GE’s global energy research facility. Committed to the redevelopment of distressed areas, O’Connor led efforts to create TIF districts, including the Core to Shore and NE Renaissance TIF districts. Most recently, she has led efforts to create a local funding for affordable housing and to successfully execute a deal with Omni Hotels to build a new convention center hotel. Since her earlier days with the City of Oklahoma City, she is a proven leader in downtown’s economic development, including the City’s Strategic Investment Program, a locally funded job creation program.

Today, the 50-year-old Foundation has 42 employees and manages $1.175 billion in assets across 1,800 funds. Most notably, she maintained downtown as the foundation’s headquarters and provided excellent guidance for the Oklahoma City Memorial Endowment Fund that has benefited hundreds of Oklahoma families for 25 years with educational scholarships and social service needs. After 30 years of Anthony’s leadership, the foundation has become a model for foundations and endowment fund management nationwide. She has served on Oklahoma City’s Metropolitan Library Commission for 25 years, including seven years as chairman. The Neal Horton Award is presented to a visionary who sparks a renaissance in a downtown area.

Rainbow Fleet connects families to child care resources Child care availability directly impacts Oklahoma’s essential workers, including first responders, a situation that has become urgent during the COVID-19 pandemic. Parents may now find fewer available providers due to facility closures, reduced staffing or personal changes with usual caretakers. School being unexpectedly out of session has also created an increase in the number of children needing supervision. “Our first responders, including doctors, nurses and paramedics must take care of the situation at home before they can go to work for fellow Oklahomans in critical

settings. Workers deemed essential, from our grocery store cashiers to the men and women delivering packages to our doorsteps, need a solution for child care,” said Carrie Williams, Rainbow Fleet executive director. Rainbow Fleet offers resources to connect parents with child care providers. Its database is now updated on a weekly basis to offer the latest information, including which facilities are open and to identify those that can accept additional enrollment. Parents can search for child care providers through Rainbow Fleet’s website based on location, cost or schedule. Child care refer-

ral specialists are available at 1800-438-0008. Staffers can also answer questions in English and Spanish. Keeping facility owners informed about the latest state Department of Human Services (DHS) changes and recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has also been a priority for its staffers during the pandemic. “Communicating those resources and providing additional guidance for both parents and providers during this unprecedented period is also part of our focus,” said Williams. “We are dedicated to helping fellow Okla-

homans so they are able to continue providing essential services to the public. Please reach out to Rainbow Fleet so we can help you find child care solutions that meet your needs, our first priority at all times.”

That Jesus liked us a lot By Rev. Mark Jardine Senior Pastor, Chapel Hill United Methodist Church This wonderful story about a Sunday School teacher's experience on Easter Sunday reminds me how powerful Jesus' story really is and how we need to hear it over and over in lives. It was Easter Sunday morning, and she had been anguishing all week about what kind of lesson to present to her third grade Sunday school class. They had heard the story of Easter morning again and again. How could she make it come alive? As she looked over the group of kids, she saw an unfamiliar boy. "This is Sage," David said. "He came with me today." The teacher greeted Sage,

then began: "Today we are going to talk about the death of Jesus." That's as far as she got. Sage gasped out loud. "Jesus Rodriguez? He sits next to me at school!" She explained that she was talking about Jesus Christ, God's Son. "Haven't you ever heard of Him," she asked? Sage shook his head. "Well," the teacher said to the other kids, "We had better start at the beginning and tell the whole story. Who would like to start?" Amy told about Jesus, birth and the angels and the shepherds and the star. "That's why we celebrate Christmas," she explained. John picked up the story and told about Jesus' miracles-healing the sick, making the blind to see, even raising the

dead. Sage's eyes grew round with wonder. "If I'd been there, I would have made Him king!" Sage exclaimed. "The people wanted to," Katy said. Then she talked about the Palm Sunday procession with children waving Palm branches and everyone shouting, "Hosannah!" Then Kevin told about Judas's betrayal, the trial, and finally the horrible Crucifixion. With tears streaming down his face, Sage exclaimed, "Why did you have to tell me that story? I hate sad endings!" "Oh, that's not the end!" Curt explained. And in a wonderfully impassioned way, he told the story of Easter morning. When Curt finished, Sage said softly, "Wow! That Jesus must have liked me a lot!"

He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ Luke 24:6-7

ON THIS OKC FRIDAY EDITORIAL OPINION PAGE: We urge courtesy in disagreement. We view with favor wise public choices and view with alarm flawed public choices. We give good advice to public officials at federal, state and local levels, and society in general, on what to do right. So, if they don’t take our advice, it’s not our fault. EMAIL YOUR OPINION to: vicki@okcfriday.com

We need to clean up our political rhetoric As we combed through the OKC FRIDAY files from 1995 and re-read what we and others wrote 25 years ago, I realized there was as much political turmoil then as we have now. Whether you are a Trump hater or a Pelosi basher, everyone needs to tone down their rhetoric. Our words float through the air and over the internet. Eventually, they can lodge in the mind of someone as deranged as Timothy McVeigh. Nothing can bring back the 168 innocent lives we lost in the OKC bombing, but we all have a responsibility to prevent it from happening again. Mayor David Holt expressed it much more eloquently at the Memorial. “The bombing was, ultimately, an act of extremist political violence made possible through dehumanization. The journey to such an act begins with thoughts; those

In MY Opinion by VICKI CLARK GOURLEY vicki@okcfriday.com thoughts become words. Like a virus, those words are heard by others and they pull out of the listener the thoughts and words that their better nature had previously rejected. Soon, one carrier becomes many and an ecosystem is created, where ideas once considered absurd are treated with credibility. Blowing up an office building full of civilians and children requires someone to walk down that dark path. It’s a path humanity has walked down too many times before. It is a path of dehumanization. And even though it ends with the most evil and horrific acts imaginable, that path is largely lined with the simplest gesture we have – words. And if you are not hearing those echoes again in our current political discourse, I ask you to listen harder. Evil acts like the one that occurred behind me depend on the triumph of dehumanization, the idea, first perpetuated

through words, that you’re different than me. That your motivations are not pure. That you are my enemy, the enemy of my people, and that this struggle is so real that all tactics must be on the table. To accept such dehumanization and to reject all the things that we share in common, the reality that we all love, we all have families, we’re all seeking virtually the same outcome, requires a remarkable amount of delusion. But we as humans have proven ourselves time and time again capable of such delusion. And we pay a terrible price, time and time again. I ask you to consider this morning that this sacred place is a sober reminder that humanity is in fact capable of such evil things, even here in the United States, even here in Oklahoma, and that we all have an obligation to speak up, and to reject words of dehumanization, words that divide us, words that cast others as our enemy. Right now, I hear such words coming out of the mouths of some of the most prominent people in our country, and I see them echoed in daily life by those who know better. We should know how this story ends, but let this place be a reminder. We must have better conversations, we must reject dehumanization, we must love one another.”

‘Pottery — I’ve got this. I AM an artist after all’ I

’ve absolutely got this. After all, I’m an artist – by nature I could throw clay and make a masterpiece. Being fortunate enough to see our new Oklahoma Contemporary Art space with a YPO Gold group, I was suited up for the pottery wheel. Providing aprons was so thoughtful, but I needed a Hazmat suit for my flailing mud-water. Settled before a functioning pottery wheel, I cracked my knuckles and headed in. You’ll love the hands-on experience. Wetting your hands, you then use the foot pedal to accelerate the whirling wheel and you fashion that big ball of wet clay into a Chihuly, or a three-year-old’s stab at a dog bowl. Accelerating, I stuck my thumbs into the lump and made progress, I had a hole and then a wide-mouthed jar and then a wad of clay along side the wheel. This was proving to be more challenging than I thought. Giving husband Jerry a chance, I glanced over at our son Brad who was happily looking like Patrick Swayze with his symmetrical clean-shaped bowl. I don’t like that kid. Husband Jerry was purring right along with a fine semblance of a sauce dish and then whomp! It sloppily veered off onto the side of the wheel’s drum. The museum design is soaring,

bright, architecturally breathtaking and will be offering a multitude of classes in all sorts of art, as well as exhibit space. Can’t wait until it opens fully for everyone to enjoy. As I offered up our sad mashed and wonky pencil jar to our instructor, he grabbed it eagerly, “We’ll put it here in the middle of the table. It is a perfect example of what not to do.” • With our extensive neurology backgrounds (none), we decided sore backs were due to our notvery-old mattress. Friends on Facebook overwhelmingly suggested we shop with a local manufacturer. We knew what we sort of mattress we wanted: plain old mattress, nothing fancy. Like the Princess and the Pea, we curled up, flattened out and bounced on a series of firmness in the world of mattresses. We laughed at the indulgent and misguided customers who actually buy a mattress that has a remote to lift its head and feet. Then we plunked down on one. Wait! That. Was. Wonderful. Shoot! We liked it. But visually there was an aesthetic about the gap between the wall and

the mattress showing the mechanics that just bothered me – so much. So, we tried the wall slider. This puppy creeps up the back of the headboard and doesn’t expose its inner working underwear to the world. With guilt at this pampering, we tried this now-esthetically pleasing number. Oh my! The automatically “comes-with-it addons” are funny. The head comes up, (individually) the knees come up, you’ve got pulsing massage under your back, under your knees, it scoots up the headboard and slides away from the footboard with its elevat-

ing so you don’t slip down, lighting under the bed, you have blue tooth and a future capability of telling Siri what position you wish. Those are part of the package. We opted out of the “makes eggs benedict and serves them in bed” option. Selling ourselves on this we came up with some inane excuse why we needed it, stuff like, “If one of us fractures our ankle and thoracic bone, we’ll need to elevate” (not ever happened, but you never know). And we reasoned, “The CDC just may quarantine us in our houses – in our beds”! We couldn’t order fast enough. Unmistak-

ably our life would not ever be happy again unless we had the three-inch topper made of naturally shed kitten fur and then the pillow – oh gracious! If new baby softness were mixed with clouds and created pillow filling – well, you get the idea. On order it was. Husband Jerry was just salivating over the remote. And the beauty of this deal is that he couldn’t mess with my remote. (Mine is marked with YELLOW tape.) Delivery day arrived as promised. Deconstruct present bed (with an embarrassing vigorous vacuuming beneath) and new mattress in place.

Rushing to a meeting, I left hubby playing with the buttons. He managed to practically catapult the cat through the opposite wall, and she got stuck upside down between the top mattresses — flailing four sharp-nailed paws and tail, a snarling vengeful feline. Did you even know there was such a thing: “King-sized split” sheets? Being frugal, I am using my existing top sheets and buying the only XL fitted twins I can find. My mis-matched fabrics look like my bed dressed in the dark, but doesn’t a caressing elevated easy chair mattress make up for that?

Elderly loved ones safer at home With the policy announcement from Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt directing Oklahomans over age 65 and those with underlying medical conditions to follow a "safer-at-home" policy, Home Care Assistance has developed recommendations for caregivers to keep seniors safe and comforted at home. “Many seniors and others feel anxious about COVID-19,” acknowledged Melissa Hill, coowner of Edmond-based Home Care Assistance. “We feel isolated and even worry about getting our groceries. If you have an elderly or at-risk loved one, professional caregivers can support seniors as
