Chicken N Pickle to host benefit tournament for CASA The Pickleball Classic, benefiting CASA of Oklahoma County, takes place on Sunday, June 6, from 4-7 pm at the all-new Chicken N Pickle in OKC. Welcoming two dozen teams and open to spectators, this riveting sporting event promises to be an exciting fundraiser. “Pickleball has become the hottest sport sweeping the nation right now,” said Charlie Ludden, Development Manager at CASA. “There’s less running and impact than tennis, but plenty of cardio – and laughs with friends.” Pickleball is played on a smaller court than tennis, with paddles and rules similar in some ways to ping
pong. Teams of two compete in a series of volleys, lobbing a wiffleball-style ball back and forth for points. Team pricing is $125 for a team of two. Spectator tickets are on sale for $20 each and include an event t-shirt. Sponsorships are also available at a variety of levels, each with exciting perks – including reserved team registrations and recognition at the event. “Interest in this event is already so strong! We can’t wait to see a packed venue out there to support CASA’s amazing volunteers!” said Ludden. The event will also feature raffle items and merchandise, with 100%
of the event proceeds benefiting the CASA program. Social distancing will be encouraged, and large portions of the venue are outdoor openair facilities. CASA volunteers advocate for the best interests of children in foster care. CASA of Oklahoma County, Inc. is a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit program whose volunteers serve nearly 700 of the approximately 1200 children in the Oklahoma County juvenile court system each year. During pandemic conditions, volunteer advocates have had to adjust to distanced visits outside, virtual court appearances, Zoom calls, and other virtual meetings.
Event details are available at PickleballClassic.com. Chicken N Pickle is located at 8400 N Oklahoma Ave, Okla. City, OK 73114. The Pickleball Classic is sponsored by the OKC Kappa Alpha Theta Alumnae, Celine Davis and George Davis, Troy Energy, Pam Lane, Jennifer Chrysant, University Silkscreen, Lisa Owens, Greg Hathaway, Great Plains Bank, Benefits Select LLC, KimRay, and FarShot Visuals. For information on other CASA programs, visit the OK CASA Association website at oklahomacasa.org. CASA of Oklahoma County is a proud United Way Partner Agency.

E CAN’T OVEREMPHASIZE the importance of those words in the headline on this editorial. Oklahoma City is on a slightly, but continual, upward trend in its economy. • The number of jobs is gradually, but steadily, climbing. • The unemployment rate is staying barely below last year’s rate each month recently. • Retail sales, and thus sales tax revenues, are up in the latest months. • Other tax revenues are a little above 2009. Oklahoma City, in other words, is

steadily doing better than nearly all major metropolitan centers in America. But it’s far from a boom! We’re not in position to be taking unrealistic chances. We need to use our heads, and our pocketbooks, making wise decisions to stay positive and even grow more. And we’re not talking just our local and state governments. It’s everybody’s responsibility. Yes, yours, too. Here’s where you come in.
Spend your money right here at home. This year of all years! Don’t spend your Christmas money on the internet and, thus, take business away from our own local retailers, who spend their money here to support our schools, public safety, roads and highways, and charities. And collect and submit sales taxes to support our own government services, but most of all, provide jobs for our local people. There are extremely few items you might be seeking that can not be found in one of our thousands of local retailers right here in Greater Oklahoma City. Don’t just talk. Do it!, If you can’t get it in Oklahoma City, brother, you can live without it.

Irish seniors experiencing last ‘lasts’ of high school smooth transition into finals week; however, the senior’s last regular day of school was Monday, May 10, with finals following the next few days. And now it is on to the slew of graduation
by Thomas Raglow
IRISH ITEMS It’s almost time. After experiencing a year of “lasts,” the Class of 2021 is set to complete their last “lasts” of high school this coming week as the semester concludes. Although it’s been a year like no other, as a senior myself, I am thankful for the opportunities I’ve had this year and grateful I could experience as normal of a school year as possible, with assemblies, sports and all the great Bishop McGuinness traditions. With the end of the year comes the long-

VILLAGE From Page 1
Reelected Village City Council members Bubba Symes and Adam Graham take the oath of office.
Griffis ran on a platform to invest in public transportation, expand sidewalks and walkability, build a stronger community, improve infrastructure and modernize the city charter. “I’d like to thank David Bennett for his many years of service on the council,” said Griffis in a Facebook post to her supporters. “His leadership helped bring about many improvements that we are seeing today and I’m inspired by his deep love for this city. “I hope to be able to learn from his work and his wisdom as I take my place on the council. I’m truly excited to get to work on behalf of this community by working with and learning from the residents here.” Councilwoman Cathy Cummings, who has represented Ward 4 since May 2017, also thanked the past mayor. “I think I speak for everyone to say thank you so much to Mayor David Bennett for his years of service and dedication to our City of The Village,” Cummings said. “It’s been an honor and such a privilege to serve with him.” The Village city charter requires elections for Wards 1, 2 and 3 during odd numbered years, with elections in Wards 4 and 5 on even years.
Newly elected Village Mayor Sonny Wilkinson takes his place on the City Council.
Ward 2 councilman Bubba Symes and Ward 3 councilman Adam Graham drew no opponents and were reelected to the council for two more years. Symes has served on the council since May 2003 and Graham since May 2019. All councilmen are elected at large, by the qualified electors of the entire city. But, candidates for councilmen must be qualified electors of their respective wards. Each year the successors of those whose terms are expiring shall be elected for overlapping terms of two years. Councilman Sonny Wilkinson, who has represented the residents of Ward 5 since May 2016, was unanimously elected to serve a one-year term as mayor by members of the council. The city
charter states the council shall elect from its membership a mayor and a vice-mayor. The election of vice-mayor has been tabled until May 17. “During last night’s City Council meeting I was elected by my fellow council members to serve as Mayor for the next year,” said Wilkinson in a Facebook post to his followers. “I’m grateful for their trust in me and the opportunity to represent our city. “As we emerge from the past year, I’m looking forward to working with the council, city staff and residents to continue improving every corner of our city while making it healthier, safer and more inclusive,” he said. “I’ll have much more to say about all of that in the weeks to come.” Story continued at okcfriday.com.
