Lyric is named Official Theatre of the state Gov. Kevin Stitt signed Senate Bill 1385, authored by Senate Democratic Leader Kay Floyd and House Majority Leader Jon Echols, bestowing the honor for the flagship theatre founded in 1963. The law takes effect Nov. 1. “Everyone at Lyric Theatre would like to thank Senator Floyd, Representative Echols, Governor Stitt and all our state leaders for this honor and recognition,” said Michael Baron, Lyric’s producing artistic director. “Throughout Lyric’s history, we have strived to create live, professional theatre that brings people together to tell stories of hope, empathy and foster conversation. We proudly state that we are an important part of the artistic and educational fabric of this great state and will continue to
reach out to create new partnerships with other community organizations and celebrate the diversity of its people.” Lyric annually serves more than 100,000 people statewide and is the state’s largest live theatre company, producing classic and contemporary plays and musicals on two stages, including the historic Plaza Theatre and the majestic Civic Center Music Hall. “Lyric Theatre is an essential part of this state’s cultural identity, and as a premier theatre company, enhances economic development efforts as well,” said Sen. Floyd, DOklahoma City. “Although based in Oklahoma City, Lyric productions attract audiences from 305 Oklahoma cities and towns, all 50 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico
and Canada. I want to thank my House author, Majority Leader Echols, members of both chambers, and Governor Kevin Stitt for their support of Lyric’s well-deserved designation as our state’s official theatre.” Lyric’s leadership has been awarded three Oklahoma Governor’s Arts Awards and the national Helen Hayes Award. Lyric Theatre’s production of Oklahoma! was proclaimed the official state production in 2015, and the organization’s Musical Interactive touring program travels to schools across the entire state performing live for more than 45,000 students each year. The program, which began in 2007, is fully funded by donors and See LYRIC, Page 12
A packed council chamber at The Village City Hall greeted councilmen at a one-hour weather-delayed meeting last week. Residents filled the chamber to voice their concerns during a public hearing to discuss an application to rezone portions of the east side of May Avenue from single family homes to commercial. Marathon Property Partners, LLC, filed an application with the city to rezone 10400 N. May Ave and 2832 Orlando Road from A-1 Single Family Residential to C-2 Commercial. An informal town hall meeting at The Village Library held last month drew dozens of concerned residents who voiced their opposition to the application. Village resident Wendy Phillips told the council of the informal poll of 28 residents she conducted who lived near the proposed rezoning. Phillips’ poll indicated 60 percent voicing opposition to the rezoning application. As residents addressed the council they talked of anticipated parking problems, additional traffic on their streets and concerns for the safety of children who live in the neighborhood. “We don’t need more

amily Camp, the first motion picture from the Oklahoma based Christian comedy team The Skit Guys, opens this Friday, May 13, in 900 theaters across the country. The movie is laugh-out-loud funny for all ages, family friendly, and equally fun for families of other faith traditions. Family Camp tells the story of the Ackerman family, a typical American family who has become distracted by life and needs something to pull them all back together. When their pastor encourages the congregation to attend a family summer camp, Mrs. Ackerman decides this is the perfect cure for her imperfect clan. So, she drags her reluctant husband and kids to rustic Camp Katokwah and launches them into the adventure of a lifetime. Family camp stars the outstanding comedic duo Tommy Woodard and Eddie James, who are the founders of the comedy troupe, The Skit Guys. Their creative partnership started in high school when Tommy asked Eddie to attend his church. With encouragement and guidance from
their youth pastor, the guys started to write and perform skits for their youth group. Flash forward a few decades, The Skit Guys is now a full-fledged production company that employs several local filmmakers to create scripts, skits, short films, and videos that are used in churches all over the world. Tommy and Eddie still lead the charge and travel the country doing live skits at churches and conferences each summer. You can see their tour schedule and the wide range of stories and subjects on their website at skitguys.com. Family Camp is cowritten and directed by Brian Cates, who is part of the creative team at The Skit Guys. Cates has directed several short films and produced the post-tornado documentary Where Was God? (2014), the narrative feature Hollis (2015), and the limited television series The Glory of Christmas (2020). This is Cates’
first time directing a narrative feature and he knocks it out of the park. The movie is cowritten by Rene Gutteridge, who is the head writer at The Skit Guys and the co-director of WriterCon. Gutteridge has been a professional writer for the past 20 years and is the author of 25 novels and books. She wrote the feature film SKID, which won Best Oklahoma Film at the 2015 deadCenter Film Festival. And, her novel My Life as Doormat, was adapted into the 2016 Hallmark movie Love’s Complicated. I cannot say enough good things about this super fun movie. I attended the preview screening of Family Camp earlier this week with some friends and their kids, and it was my favorite night at the movies since the pandemic started. Family Camp is screening in the Oklahoma City area at Harkins Bricktown, AMC Penn Square, AMC Quail Springs, ShowBiz Cinemas in Edmond, and the Regal Warren Theater in Moore. It’s the perfect movie to kickstart your summer, laughing alongside family and friends.

OKC Zoo’s endangered Chimpanzee, Nia, is pregnant The Oklahoma City Zoo and Botanical Garden is proud to announce that its female chimpanzee, Nia, is going to be a mom! Nia, 14, one of the OKC Zoo’s adult, female chimpanzees is expecting a baby, anticipated to be born later this fall. This will be the second offspring for Nia. “Any birth is exciting at the Zoo, but one for an endangered species is significant and thrilling for us,” said Pace Frank, the OKC Zoo’s assistant curator of primates. “The Zoo is committed to the conservation of chimpanzees. In partnership with the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and their Species Survival Plan for chimpanzees, we continue to positively impact their population while raising awareness for the protection of
their habitat.” In preparation for this impending birth, primate caretakers are training with Nia to voluntarily participate in ultrasounds to monitor the health of the baby. Although the Zoo’s primate care team is hopeful Nia will display appropriate maternal behavior, caretakers are also training with Kito, an adult female chimpanzee in the troop, to prepare her for the role of a surrogate should intervention be needed. Kito is a proven surrogate and has most recently served as a one to the troop’s younger male Rueben. The Zoo’s veterinary team confirmed Nia’s pregnancy through a pregnancy test. She is expected to give birth this fall following an approximate 8-month gestation period. Per a breeding recommendation
through the AZA’s Chimpanzee SSP, Nia was paired with both of the Zoo’s male chimps, Mwami, 34, and Ruben, 10, and successfully conceived. The father of the infant is currently unknown and will be determined through a blood test. Nia is healthy and her pregnancy is progressing well. She is continuing to receive excellent care and attention from her caretakers who are working closely with the Zoo’s veterinary team to monitor her through ongoing exams and wellness checks. Native to Central and West Africa, the chimpanzee is currently listed as endangered according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). With declining populations, chimps are at risk due to deforestation, hunting and illegal pet
trade. The OKC Zoo is helping bolster the chimpanzee populations by participating in the AZA’s Chimpanzee SSP. OKC Zoo guests can help protect endangered wildlife such as chimpanzees and wild places by Rounding Up for Conservation. Every time someone purchases an admission ticket, food or souvenir at the OKC Zoo, they can ask about “rounding up” their total to the nearest dollar to directly and positively impact wildlife and wild places. The OKC Zoo is home to six chimpanzees including females Cindy, 54; Kito, 35; Kirsty, 21 and Nia plus males Mwami and Ruben. Stay tuned to the Zoo’s social media platforms for updates about Nia’s pregnancy. To learn more about Zoo happenings, call (405)424-3344 or okczoo.org.

VILLAGE From Page 1 attendance for the public hearing. “I have received many calls about this issue from concerned residents,” said Vice Mayor Griffis. “Not one resident who contacted me was in favor of rezoning.” After lengthy discussions, the council voted unanimously to deny the application. ‘It’s been a heck of a ride and my pleasure to serve’ Village Police Chief Paul Kinman announced his resignation, effective May 27, in a short letter to City Manager Bruce Stone. “It has been a heck of a ride and my pleasure to serve as police chief,” said Kinman in his resignation letter. “With that being said, I think the time has come for me to call it quits.” Kinman ends his 40-year career with The Village Police Department having served 20 years as chief, seven years as deputy chief and as a patrol officer and investigator. City Manager Bruce Stone said the pair

had been in discussions about Kinman’s retirement for over a year. “Paul’s retirement is, of course sad, and he will be missed,” said Stone. “Paul has been an excellent chief and he has kept the department running smoothly over the past 20 years. “Obviously, he had a lot of valuable experience on the street, in investigations, and was a graduate of the FBI Academy. Paul has always been an ethical, no-nonsense chief, who has demonstrated commitment to professional law enforcement.” Kinman became chief of police during a difficult time for the city after the loss of Walmart and Albertsons and a large part of the city’s revenues.
“In spite of tight budgets, the department, under his leadership, was able to maintain the high standards our citizens have been accustomed to,” said Stone. “Paul continued throughout his career as chief to improve training, update policies and procedures and to keep the department fullyaccredited.” Stone announced the appointment of Deputy Chief Russ Landon his successor, becoming the sixth police chief in The Village following Jack Reed, Jerry Eaton, Phyl Olive, Mike Robinson and Paul Kinman. The Village was incorporated as a Town in 1950. “Russ Landon has served as deputy chief for 20 years, and is the most qualified to replace Paul,” said Stone. “As city manager, it is my responsibility to make appointment such as this. Russ will continue to serve the citizens of The Village with the same level of professionalism he has demonstrated over the course of his employment with the city.” Landon has served at all levels on The Village police department, including patrol, investigations and administration.

Taste: My Life Through Food By Stanley Tucci Stanley Tucci is an attractive Italian overachiever. If his recent book, Taste: My Life Through Food, just listed his interests it would be impressive, but this delightful memoir of his life as it developed through the loves of his life is fascinating reading. He has not only been nominated for an Oscar, a Tony, Grammy and winner of two Golden Globes and two Emmys. He also has directed five films and had roles in more than seventy films and many television shows plus plays on and off Broadway. Stanley is gifted in many areas even in the field of writing a couple of food books, The Tucci Cookbook and The Tucci Table which weaves his way with food and his love of family, recipes and fun. He references adventures with foodies such as Julia Child, chefs and patrons. He also loves making meals for and with children who will likely be the next generation of such a story-book life. He slips into his narrative of the how and why he can perform such magic with food
Oklahoma City FRIDAY, Friday, May 13, 2022, Page 9
and introduces us to others who follow this caring gentleman. Perhaps the reader may not yet be familiar why the first Martini was made (and how) or of the revelations of Tucci’s Icelandic culinary experience, fish stews and pastas of the French and Brits or WHY Los Angeles is not on any of his lists. Taste is written with wit and color because the people, foods and happenings are fun and mesmerizing. “I discovered that eating, drinking, the kitchen and the table now play major roles for me. Food not only feeds me, it enriches me. All of me. Mind, body and soul. It is nothing more than everything: Cook; Smell; Taste; Eat; Drink; Share; Repeat as necessary.” This actually is his self- acclaimed definition of who he is. Without food, he would have no taste for life. He would cease to exist. The Christmas drinks, ragu, pig, the desserts and oh, the pastas continue and keep alive the joys of living. Actually, this book comes to a close with no strict hints from this food genius to those who eat or serve these pastas for breakfast, lunch or dinner other than his one never changing rule: “JUST NEVER, EVER, CUT YOUR SPAGHETTI.” Thanks to Full Circle Book Store for sharing these books with FRIDAY readers.

OICA to offer leadership programs for youth By Joe Dorman Oklahoma Institute for Child Advocacy For young people in schools across our nation, and even around the world, extracurricular activities are vital for social and emotional development. Oklahoma is fortunate to be home to some of the best youth programs in the nation, no matter where you might live in our state. The importance of these opportunities is not lost on lawmakers as they, through the years, have placed into law an allowable number of school day
absences for educational opportunities and competitions. They also have enacted tax breaks for those offered through nonprofit organizations. I was truly blessed by my participation in 4-H, Cub Scouts, church activities, school clubs,and even paging for Sen. Ray Giles at the Oklahoma State Capitol my junior year. My work even paid off as I earned some scholarships through work in these programs. They helped my studies in college, which also had extracurricular outlets through groups like the
Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature and the Student Government Association. These activities led me down the path of public service to where I am now with the Oklahoma Institute for Child Advocacy (OICA). Seeing the need for further such opportunities for young people, Rep. Rick West wrote legislation to increase those allowed days of school absences for 4H. I applaud this idea as opportunities like this help young people reach their greatest potential. Unfortunately, his bill, House Bill 2991, did not move forward this year; Even so, I suspect he will try this again. Anything which heightens these
opportunities through activities, without hurting students’ grades, is a win for building better leaders. Along this path, OICA is pleased to work with Oklahoma Farm Bureau on an upcoming endeavor called the Oklahoma Youth Legislative Experience (OYLE) for incoming 4-H and FFA sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Based on the old Club Congress model done by 4-H for years, we will be leading a two-day mock legislature for these students at the Oklahoma State Capitol. This camp is set for July 12-13 and will allow the youth programs to have an equal number of delegates within the mock Senate
and House of Representatives, therefore acting like political parties. The leadership team from each organization will be the presiding officer team in one of the bodies and will simulate the way a legislature operates. I will assist the students write legislation for their presentation, and work with current and former lawmakers to help serve as teaching assistants to guide the students through the process of debate and consideration of bills. If you know of a 4Her or FFA student who might be interested in this activity, it is not too late to sign up! You can have them go to tinyurl.com/ FFALegis if they are in FFA or to inyurl.com/
4HLegis if they are in 4-H to apply. I am also pleased to share that OICA will have a big announcement coming next week associated with our Kid Governor program. We are thrilled to have been working with former Oklahoma Governors George Nigh, David Walters, Frank Keating, Brad Henry, and Mary Fallin to unveil our revised program. In the revamped Kid Governor program, fifth grade students across Oklahoma will the opportunity to gain experience about the state government process and participate in policy issues involving youth. Stay tuned for this exciting announcement!

MAYOR From Page 1 Oklahoma and the youngest in the 72-year history of The Village. His election also makes him the first openly gay man to serve as mayor in The Village. Graham is originally from Moore where he graduated high school before attending Southwestern Oklahoma State University in Weatherford, OK. He is self-employed and owns Bison Strategies and Bison Campaigns where he runs political campaigns in Oklahoma and southern states. He has been a resident of The Village for eight years. “I’ve been working in politics since I was 19,” said Graham. “Since a very young age I have always been involved and interested in campaigns and politics. I am passionate about standing up for those who cannot and making sure we elect someone who listens to his constituents and their needs.” Graham was first elected to represent residents of Ward 3 in the city’s northeast quadrant in

2018. His election as Ward 3 councilman was his first elected office. He says he loves municipal government because, “it affects almost every aspect of our lives.” “I first ran (for office) in 2018 because I wanted to bring a new younger perspective to the council,” he said. “At the time elected, and still, I’m the youngest. I think it’s important that our council reflect all walks of life. From my age to older. “It is my hope that the council will continue working together to be forward thinking in this time of transition for our young city. This year will find a completely new generation overseeing our great community,” he said. “And as The Village’s youngest mayor, I pledge to make our community welcoming, innovative and prosperous. During this time of unprecedented division in our nation, establishing unity will be an essential component to all actions we take this year. “Bringing public transportation and a park south of Britton Road are top priorities for me in my term as mayor, while also
overseeing some city leadership change as we see some amazing employees preparing for retirement,” he said. City Manger Bruce Stone has announced his intention to retire from his position in the coming years after serving the city nearly 40 years. As mayor, Graham says he will propose banning conversion therapy within The Village city limits. “I will work to make our community more walkable and health-centric – adding new walking and biking trails through The Village,” he said. “I will also work to build trust between residents, elected representative and the civil servants employed by our city. “I’m so excited to see what the future holds particularly with new collaborations and partnerships with other municipalities and our county government,” he adds. “I promise to lead with humility, integrity and transparency. I love The Village and want to ensure it remains a success for our residents and for future generations.”

Joan Gilmore McLaughlin 1927-2022 Joan Gilmore McLaughlin passed away in Oklahoma City on May 9, 2022, just days short of her 95th birthday. Born in 1927 to Helen and Joseph Gilmore, Joan spent most of her childhood in Waukegan, Ill., along with her brother Robert. Joan graduated from Drury University in Springfield, Mo. with a degree in English. Joan began her career as a journalist with a weekly column in The Drury Mirror, the college newspaper, and then wrote for the town newspaper in Springfield. She moved to Oklahoma in 1952 where she joined the staff of the state’s largest newspaper, The Daily Oklahoman and its sister paper, The Oklahoma City Times. First a reporter in the society department, she worked her way into the position of women’s news editor with a staff of eight women. Joan met her husband Al McLaughlin at The Daily Oklahoman where he was director of the photo department. Joan left the paper after 28 years to open a public relations and videography business with her husband. She later completed her career as a daily columnist for The Journal Record, where she wrote about Oklahoma people and activities for more than 32 years. Joan had a deeply rooted passion for journalism and a love of the arts. Her
JOAN GILMORE
dedication to volunteerism was manifested by her involvement with a myriad of civic groups and nonprofit organizations. She was also an esteemed advisor and mentor to many young women. She served as a founding member of Leadership Oklahoma City and Oklahoma Children’s Medical Research Foundation (now Oklahoma Children’s Hospital Foundation). Joan served on numerous boards, including the Oklahoma Symphony Orchestra, Ballet Oklahoma, the Oklahoma City Public Schools Foundation, Friends of the OU Breast Institute, the Oklahoma City National Memorial Foundation, and the Executive Service Corps of Central Oklahoma. Her many awards and honors included Lifetime Achievement Awards from The Journal Record and the Oklahoma City chapter of The Association for Women in Communications. She was inducted into the Oklahoma Journalism Hall of Fame and the Oklahoma Women’s Hall of Fame.
National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum Joan received a Special Award as well as a Media in the Arts Award from the Governor’s Arts Award program. Joan is survived by her stepson and daughter-inlaw, Steve and Lisa McLaughlin; grandchildren, Catherine McLaughlin and Mark McLaughlin and his wife Angela; along with great grandchildren, Hannah and Jack McLaughlin. She also is survived by nephews, Tim Gilmore and Robert Gilmore; as well as a niece, Robin Gilmore Diefenbach. She was preceded in death by her husband, parents and brother. We will never know the full extent of Joan’s impact during her nearly 95 years; she touched countless lives in many different ways. Her involvement with groups and organizations, as well as her many awards and recognitions, tell only a small part of the colorful life and story of Joan. Although she has passed away, her influence will last for generations, especially for women for whom she fought so hard to empower. Memorial donations in Joan’s name may be made to NewView Oklahoma, 4301 N Classen Blvd, Oklahoma City, Okla., 73118.

Lastly, we would like to thank the millions of people who have enjoyed Lyric productions and education programs throughout its history. Lyric Theatre is truly of the people, for the people, and by the people of Oklahoma.”
