Four Fridayland students are among the 52 rising high school seniors selected by Leadership Oklahoma to participate in its annual Youth Leadership Oklahoma (YLOK) class program.

Fridayland’s Youth Leadership Oklahoma Class 22 students are: Nicholas Castilla, Casady School, Edmond; Nicholas Schoeffler, Bishop McGuinness Catholic High School, Oklahoma City; Jake Schwartz, Bishop McGuinness Catholic High School, Oklahoma City; and Cooper Shapard, Crossings Christian School, Oklahoma City.

YLOK Class 22 members plan to travel the state during a week-long trip at the end of May to learn about Oklahoma’s history, culture, issues and leaders and begin to develop a greater understanding and appreciation for our state. YLOK was created in 2001 with the mission to develop in young leaders a feeling of hope, pride and a responsibility for Oklahoma’s future. Over 900 students have participated in this one-of-a-kind program.

The all-expense paid weeklong program begins and ends in Oklahoma City. Other cities visited throughout the week will include Norman, Lawton, Shawnee, Tulsa, Stillwater, and Enid. In each community, YLOK Class 22 will learn about Oklahoma’s resources, issues and treasures, meet with state leaders and further develop their own lead-

ership skills.

“YLOK was a great opportunity for us to learn about our personal leadership styles,” said a YLOK Class 21 participant about their experience last summer, “I learned how to listen to other perspectives before making my opinion. I also learned in any leadership position, there will be people who do not have the same views

as you and that is good!

Listening to other people is one of the greatest ways to learn.”

“Leadership Oklahoma is very excited about the 52 young people chosen for this year’s program,” said Marion Paden, Leadership Oklahoma’s president & CEO. “YLOK Class 22 is an outstanding blend of student leadership from across the state.”

In the long history of Heritage Hall girls soccer, Charger players have never celebrated a state championship victory.

That all changed last Friday at Taft Stadium, when Heritage Hall (14-0) erupted to score three times at the end of the first half en route to a 3-1 victory over Victory Christian for the Class 3A title at Taft Stadium.

“We’re overwhelmed with emotion,” coach Robyn Brewster said after the game. “We’ve been to the semis a couple times but never got all the way.”

Both teams played fairly evenly through the final 10 minutes of the first half before Katarina Chrysant scored on two free kicks about two minutes apart to give the undefeated Chargers a 2-0 lead.

Posey Thomas effectively put the game away with her own free kick goal with just over 2½ minutes left in the half.

Heritage Hall’s defense only allowed one goal in four playoff games.

Antlers down T’Wolves in PKs Through the first three rounds of the 2022 playoffs, Deer Creek hadn’t allowed a goal and kept that streak alive in the championship game against Norman North on Saturday morning at Taft Stadium.

Antler goalkeeper Camryn Hasselwander held the Timberwolves scoreless through 80 minutes of regulation, 20 minutes of overtime and three penalty-kick tries to come away with a 1-0 shootout victory and the Class 6A state championship.

It was the Antlers’ seventh state title in history and first since winning four in a row from 2012-2015.

“I’ve always felt that Camryn is the best goalkeeper in the state and I really think she showed that today,” said coach Jake Curey after the game. “She didn’t give up a goal in any playoff games and didn’t again in the state final.”

Despite an early start at 10:30 a.m., players struggled in the heat as the temperature hovered in the mid-80s with a light wind.

Deer Creek (15-2) scored on the first two penalty-kick shots

by Anna Branham and Ashlynn Stigall.

Norman North shot four times, with Hasselwander collecting two saves, one hitting the goal post and the other sailing high.

Roberts’ goal lifts Irish by Piedmont McGuinness controlled possession in its half of the pitch for

most of last Saturday’s match at Taft Stadium, but wasn’t able to break a scoreless tie.

Reese Roberts provided what turned out to be the game-winning goal when she nailed a free kick from about 45 yards to give the Irish (17-2) a 1-0 win over Piedmont and capture the 5A state championship trophy.

The junior midfielder snuck her shot under the crossbar and over the Piedmont goalkeeper.

McGuinness’ defense held the Wildcats in check, as they didn’t record a shot on goal until late in the second half and finished with only two in the game.

The Irish won their second state title in school history with the previous one coming in 2008.

Charger boys fall to Crooked Oak Unable to capitalize on their scoring opportunities, the Heritage Hall boys suffered a 1-0 penalty-kick shootout loss to Crooked Oak in the 5A championship game last Friday night.

“This was definitely a tough one,” Charger coach Tommy Riley said after the game. “Both teams were evenly matched and there are small moments where we didn’t capitalize on our opportunities.”

TRACK ROUNDUP

TENNIS ROUNDUP

DC’s Antonelli wins 2 golds Deer Creek’s A.J. Antonelli secured two individual gold medals and Jacob Sexton added another to help the Antlers to fifth place at the Class 6A state track championships last weekend in Ardmore.

Antonelli swept the distance events and set new Noble Stadium records in both the 1600 and 3200 meters.

The senior beat the previous stadium record by nearly seven seconds in the 1600 in 4:12.78 and shattered the 3200 record by 18 seconds in 9:19.41.

Teammate Gilbert Velez finished fourth in the 3200 but also beat the stadium record by nearly six seconds in 9:31.58, and also took 10th in the 1600.

Jacob Sexton earned a gold medal in the discus with a winning throw of 167 feet, 11 inches but fell to 11th place in the shot put.

Rachel Neaves medaled twice in her field events, claiming gold in the discus with

a throw of 150-7 and settling for third in the shot put.

Tyson Ritz was the only other Antler to medal with a secondplace leap of 6-4 in the high jump, missing out on a gold by just two inches.

Graham Mitchell and Tabitha Fox cracked the top 10, as Mitchell placed ninth in the 3200 and Fox was 10th in the 1600.

In addition, the Antler boys finished fourth in the 4-by-800 relay and the girls were fifth in the same event.

IRISH TRIO CLAIM TITLES IN HURDLES With two other athletes in the top 5, a trio from McGuinness earned gold medals in the hurdles events at the 5A state championships in Ardmore.

Taby Roy claimed the 100-meter hurdles title by just over a tenth-second in 15.36 seconds and teammate Logan Pierce took the 300 hurdles in 46.51

seconds. Pierce also placed third in the pole vault and fifth in the 100 hurdles, while Roy was eighth in the 300 hurdles.

Garrett Williams completed the trio with a gold medal in the 300 hurdles in 40.47 seconds. Tyrell Bruner broke the tape just fractions of a second short of gold in the 110 hurdles in 15.81 seconds.

Paul Tarman finished in a 3-way tie for first in the pole vault with a jump of 13 feet.

Abigail Kelly earned a bronze medal for third in the discus.

Ari Maxwell cracked the top 5 in two events, including a fourthplace effort in the long jump and fifth in the 100 meters.

Three state qualifiers from Mount St. Mary also made the top 10 at the state meet.

Salvador Jackson finished seventh in the 100 meters as did Reed Lindsey in the 400 meters. Mackenzi DeHart placed 10th in the 1600 meters.

BASEBALL ROUNDUP

Owasso tops Antlers in 6A semis Held to just three hits, the Deer Creek baseball team fell behind in the first inning and never recovered in a 6-2 loss to Owasso last Friday in the Class 6A semifinals at Norman North.

Taylor Tomlin led the way with a double and drove in Brittain Brewer in the second inning, as the Antlers ended their season with a 31-11 record.

Brett McComas and Keaton Story accounted for the other two hits, and Cody Sorrells scored on an error in the first inning.

Pitcher Brady Hamilton allowed four runs on four hits and struck out one over 3 2/3 innings for the loss.

In the semifinals, Deer Creek’s Grady

Adamson scored on a bunt single by Miles lock in the bottom of the seventh inning to pull off a wild 14-13 win over Jenks at Norman North.

Ashton Hartwig batted 3-for-4, drove in two runs and scored twice. McComas also had three hits and scored a run for the Antlers.

Four others collected at least two hits, led by Brady Hamilton with a 2-run homerun in the fourth inning.

Sorrells retired three of the four batters he faced, including a pair of strikeouts over the final inning for the win.

SALINA GETS PAST CHARGERS Heritage Hall’s trip

to the Class 3A state tournament proved to be a short one as the Chargers suffered a 5-2 loss to Salina last Thursday in the quarterfinals at Choctaw.

The Chargers (30-5) found themselves in an early 3-0 in just the first inning but scored a run in the fifth and sixth innings.

Kaeden Woods and Zach Fetrow posted nearly identical batting lines, as both belted run-scoring doubles.

Austin Lemon, Tyler Offel and Carson Beam secured the other three hits, with Lemon and Beams scoring runs.

Pitcher Brigham Evans allowed five runs, but none earned, on seven hits with six strikeouts over five innings in the loss.

Heritage Hall’s Harry Zeiders hits a return during his No. 1 singles championship match against Cascia Hall’s James Benein. Zeiders won the match in three sets.

Chargers net 5A state title Heritage Hall’s Harry Zeiders and Larson Vanhorn netted individual tennis singles titles and helped the Chargers edge Cascia Hall by just a single point for the Class 5A state team championship last Saturday at OKC Tennis Center.

It was the Chargers’ 22nd state team title in boys tennis – the most of any school in Oklahoma – and their first since 2019. Last year, Crossings Christian ended the Chargers’ 5year win streak by claiming the 5A crown.

Zeiders, who won a doubles title as a freshman and spent the last two years attending a tennis academy in California, outlasted Cascia

Hall’s James Benein in three sets, 2-6, 6-4, 6-0, to secure the No. 1 singles championship.

Vanhorn had a bit easier time in the No. 2 singles final with a 6-2, 6-1 victory against Claremore’s Tanner Steidley on Saturday.

The No. 2 doubles team of McLoud Buergler and Gray Ferguson took the runner-up trophy after retiring due to injury in the second set of their match against Joey Kacere and Gannon Murray of Cascia Hall.

Owen Felrath and Emerson Ritenour pulled off a 6-4, 6-4 triumph over Crossings Christian’s Gavin Clark and Parker Dillon to claim third place in No.

2 doubles.

The Knights’ Ben Vanlandingham placed sixth in No. 1 singles.

McGuinness’ Joseph Dickerson and Nathan Phung finished eighth in No. 2 doubles.

In 4A, Mount St. Mary boasted two players placing in the top 4 or better.

Zane Heise claimed second in No. 2 singles, after a 6-0, 6-1 loss to Porter Arens from Holland Hall and Dane Malzahn took fourth in No. 1 singles for the Rockets.

Deer Creek’s Evan Ivester and Carson Hancock finished eighth in both No. 1 and 2 singles, respectively, for the Antlers in the 6A tournament.

GOLF ROUNDUP

Charger boys cruise to 4A crown After building a commanding 38-shot advantage in the first two rounds of the Class 4A state tournament, the Heritage Hall boys kept their foot on the accelerator in the final round on Tuesday to cruise to a state championship.

Kyle McLaughlin fired a 67 in the final round at Boiling Springs in Wooward to finish in fourth place with a 54-hole total of 221 (75-79-67) to lead

the Chargers.

Matthew Smith ended two strokes back at 223 (77-77-73) to take fifth place.

Three other players finished inside the top 20, with Roger Smith (236) in 13th place, Drew Kinney (240) tied for 16th and Henry Hooten (242) tied for 18th.

Heritage Hall secured its 14th state title in school history and the first since winning three in a row from 2017-2019. The

Chargers’ total is second to Edmond North for the most titles in state history.

In 5A, McGuinness boasted all five players in the top 50 to finish fourth in the team standings.

Carson Lee (80-8985) and Joseph Harroz (85-85-84) posted identical 54-hole totals of 254 at Duncan Golf and Tennis Club to tie for 20th place.

deadCenter Film Festival T

he 22nd annual deadCenter film Festival is coming up June 9-12 and promises to be bigger and better than ever. There are two all-inclusive pass options, two specialty passes, and tickets available for all individual screenings.

Thanks to a decrease in infection rates, deadCenter will offer a full slate of films inside actual movie theaters in addition to big outdoor screenings and an online film library. Visit deadcenterfilm.org for a comparison of the different passes and a complete listing of all films and events.

For the first time, deadCenter is an Oscar qualifying festival for live action shorts and animated shorts. Predictably, submissions in those categories have skyrocketed, making the short programs this year the most competitive ever. As one of the screeners for live action short, I watched nearly 100 short films from around the world and they were absolutely fabulous.

The Oklahoma City Thunder makes a triumphant return to deadCenter with their latest short film, Seeds of Greenwood. The short documentary goes behind the scenes of the Thunder Fellows program that was launched in Tulsa’s historic Greenwood District, where the Tulsa Race Massacre occurred in 1921.

This is the seventh

film from OKC Thunder Films.

The opening night film is Mama Bears, a documentary feature that debuted at SXSW about Christian mothers of LGBTQ children fighting to protect their kids and others from harmful legislation, bullies at school, and absent parents.

Oklahoma’s Sara Cunningham, who founded the nationwide nonprofit Free Mom Hugs, is one of the key protagonists.

The closing night film is Butterfly in the Sky, a documentary feature about the classic children’s television show Reading Rainbow. The show, led by legendary host LaVar Burton, introduced millions of children to illustrated readings of children’s literature from 1983 to 2006.

Oklahoma Breakdown, a documentary about Oklahoma musician Mike Hosty, is one of several great Oklahoma features included in the festival this year. Other local highlights include the thriller Out of Exile from director Kyle Kauwika Harris, who is following up his awardwinning documentary I Stand: The Guardians

of the Water; Chicken House, from director Cate Jones, who premiered her debut feature She’s the Eldest at the 2020 festival; and, Tenkiller, a drama from first-time feature directors Kara Shay Choate and Jeremy Brooks Choate, who first played deadCenter with a short doc about artist Desmond Mason.

Due to the growing number of Oklahoma films and filmmakers, there are two full programs of Okie Shorts, which are traditionally the biggest selling shorts programs.

Highlights of Okie Shorts include The First 280 Honest Words of My Life from Classen High School film prodigy Ella James, who made her deadCenter debut in 2020 with Code Red; The Battle of Honey Springs from Bishop McGuinness graduate and deadCenter regular Bryan Beasley; Old House New Home about the restoration of the house from The Outsiders by Danny Boy O’Conner from House of Pain; and Amelia’s Prayer, a film from Christian Faith Publishing that I directed last summer starring Rachel Cannon and written by Matt Payne, Jeff Robinson, and Cole Deaver.

I’ll offer more suggestions closer to the festival. For now, buy your passes and start planning your weekend at Oklahoma’s largest celebration of film.

Infant Crisis Services asking for support due to formula shortage Oklahoma City-based nonprofit Infant Crisis Services (ICS) provides life-sustaining food, formula and diapers as well as other basic necessities to babies and toddlers and is working to combat the devastating effects of the current baby formula shortage.

ICS has seen a significant uptick in clients who need food, formula and diapers, partially due to the current nationwide formula shortage. The shortage has affected ICS’ ability to stock the shelves with this vital item for babies.

“The long-term effects of this shortage could have detrimental impacts on the growth and health of

MAYOR From Page 1 Phillips Murrah P.C and is actively engaged in energy and service businesses in several states, including abstracting and title insurance businsses in northwest Oklahoma “I come from a long line of public servants,” said Goetzinger about his work on the Nichols Hills city council.

“I’m kind of a ‘meat and potatoes’ guy and spend much of my time on the council thinking about and working on infrastructure and street repairs.”

Goetzinger says he wants to focus on art in Nichols Hills city parks during this term as mayor.

“I’ve been talking with our city manager Shane Pate about our parks and how we can better them,” he said.

“I really like how Oklahoma City sets aside as certain percent of their budget for public art. I’d like to lead an effort to

do the same in Nichols Hills by appointing a commission of residents to oversee our public art.”

During a previous term as mayor, Goetzinger led the city council to hire current city manager Shane Pate, a position he has held since 2016. “The council has a very good rapport with Shane, and he’s doing a fine job for the city,” says Goetzinger.

As a councilman, Goetzinger said he has worked to help make the city more “walkable” for those who live in the far Northwest quadrant of the city by creating sidewalk access to Grand and Wilshire Boulevards near the Love Family Park.

Goetzinger also led the effort to secure a Trader Joe’s Neighborhood Grocery at Nichols Hills Plaza when the iconic shopping center was experiencing revenue shortfalls.

“When we secured the Trader Joe’s for Nichols Hills Plaza, the shopping center was hav-

“The addition of Trader Joe’s helped make Nichols Hills Plaza viable again.”

Goetzinger is a 1976 graduate of Woodward High School.

He attended the University of Oklahoma and earned a degree in business administration in 1980 before attending the Oklahoma City University School of Law and receiving a juris doctorate in 1983. Since 1990, Goetzinger and his wife, Carol, have made their home in Nichols Hills where they have reared three children.

In 1994, Governor David Walters appointed Goetzinger to Oklahoma’s Commission of Marginally Producing Oil and Gas Wells. He was reappointed to that commission in 1995 by Governor Frank Keating and served as chairman in 2000.

Goetzinger and his family are members of Christ the King Catholic Church in Nichols Hills, where he has been a mass lector for several years.

Booth,

By Karen Joy Fowler The recent publication of Booth might seem strange timing for another novel about the Civil War. This is not a war story; the story is told as it presents itself through the Lincoln and the Booth families in the time leading to the Civil War. By the time of Fowler’s writing, the loved ones and fans of the famous Booth acting family are laid to rest. The political as well as brilliant and insane members of the Lincoln family are no longer viable ghosts nor gossip fodder for the citizens of the Confederacy or of the Northern states who fought so valiantly for their land and relations.

Why read this story now?

Karen Fowler has researched history, family histories, government documents, show bills and theater tales, gaining of political power among black people of the United States, the tragedy of greed, hatred and rising up of assassins, mobs and war among friends and family. The tragedy of these issues has not been easily laid to rest. Fowler speaks to the relevancy of the 1820s – 2021 when she writes that the LOST CAUSE may be tem-

porarily mislaid, but never lost. “In the recent January 6th insurgency, I saw the flag of the Confederacy carried through the halls of the Capitol for the very first time. Let it be the last.” There is a solid message to Americans in this plea.

In addition to reviewing the years leading to the Civil War and the culture of the South as well as the hatred and jealousy that split families, the reader soaks up wisdom from the greats of those years such as Frederick Douglass’ stinging oratory, “America is false to the past, false to the present and solemnly binds herself to be false to the future.”

This book can also be enjoyed from the aspect of a study of Shakespearean performances, as it lives on through the ten children born into the Booth clan. The theater and life of thespians brilliantly unfolds through these talented, arrogant actors. They are drunk much of their lives and pass selfish lessons to their offspring and to the next generations.

All of these provocative issues surround the colorful, handsome and charming characters who bring a touch of realism to the plot. As Abraham Lincoln stated, “We cannot escape history.” In Booth, we can experience this history as we look to our future and our survival.

Thanks to Full Circle for sharing these books with FRIDAY readers.

Sunday Twilight Concert Series to bring 12 free performances to Myriad Gardens this summer The Sunday Twilight Concert Series presented by the Chickasaw Nation returns to the Myriad Botanical Gardens this summer.

The concerts take place each Sunday from June 6 – August 28, with the exception of the weekend of July 4.

“The Sunday Twilight Concert Series gives the community the opportunity to experience live music in a fun, relaxed environment,” said Arts Council Oklahoma City Projects Director Alyssa Flesher. “There’s no better way to spend a

summertime Sunday evening than with a free performance surrounded by the beauty of the Myriad Botanical Gardens” Twelve bands in a variety of genres, including rock & roll, country, jazz, classical and Latin music, will perform on the Devon Lawn at 7:30 pm each Sunday night.

“Each artist was chosen through an application process, as well as general talent scouting throughout the year,” said Arts Council Oklahoma City Executive Director Peter Dolese.

“Every summer, we

make it a point to bring in bands of all genres and backgrounds to ensure the Summer Twilight Concert Series offers something for everyone in our community. Each diverse artist we bring to the stage will continue our legacy of providing culture and free music to all.”

The summer of fun kicks off Sunday, June 6 with a rock performance by Beau Jennings & The Tigers. That event will kick off with the Artisans Twilight Takeover, a free networking event with ACOKC’s group for

young professionals.

“The Artisans is one of the few young professionals’ groups in Oklahoma City that does not require a monetary donation to participate,” Flesher said. “We are exclusively made up of people ages 21 – 40 who have a passion for the arts and a desire to volunteer for Arts Council OKC’s events. Come join us at 6:30 pm June 5 for a night of networking, food, live music, and fun!”

You can learn more about the Sunday Twilight Concert Series at artscouncilokc.com.

Paseo’s First Friday Gallery Walk celebrates Michi Susan Oklahoma City’s Unique Arts Destination, the Paseo Arts District is located between NW 27th and 30th Streets and Walker & Hudson. Each First Friday, Paseo galleries offer special themed exhibits, guest artists and a variety of live entertainment - all within walking distance. Ten restaurants and several of other shops round out the Paseo’s distinctive atmosphere. The Paseo Arts Association (PAA) is pleased to feature two exhibits in the Paseo Arts and Creativity Center (PACC) – The work and art sale of Michi Susan in Gallery I and II and Aathra Abdullah in Gallery III. An

opening reception will take place Friday, June 3, 6 to 9 pm.

Last year, the Paseo Arts Association (PAA) received a donation of Michi Susan’s art, who had passed away in 2020.

To honor her work and contribution to the creative community, they will be hosting an art exhibition and sale on June 3 during the First Friday Gallery Walk. A cocktail preview with light hors d'oeuvres and drinks will take place just before the reception between 5 – 6 pm.

RSVP is encouraged, but not required.

Fellow Paseo Arts Association Program Manager, Theresa Hultberg, states “The

artwork we are displaying from Michi Susan's estate is a beautiful representation of her innovative and imaginative portfolio. We are excited to celebrate her life through her artwork this June in remembrance of her inspirational role in our Paseo community.” It will be an evening that many won’t want to miss.

Gallery III showcases the oil paintings of Aathra Abdullah.

Born into a large family in Baghdad, Iraq, she has had the opportunity to travel throughout the Middle East visiting Malaysia, Iran, United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Oman

and Turkey. Abdullah’s time traveling and witnessing three wars first hand changed how she saw the world. Through her work, she seeks to show the beauty inside her childhood memories as well as the inspiration and hardship of the heroes she has encountered throughout her life.

Both exhibits will run through June 25 in the Paseo Arts and Creativity Center (PACC) at 3024 Paseo.

OPINION O UR S TAND “And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.”

John 8:32 (quoting Jesus).

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.”

– Edmund Burke paraphrase, 1767.

If you want it in the paper, it’s advertising. If you don’t want it in the paper, it’s news.”

– Ancient Chinese Proverb.

“Without, or with, offense to friends or foes, We sketch your world exactly as it goes.”

MEMBER OF 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.

A Better Memorial Day Reprinted from OKC FRIDAY, Friday, May 28, 2010 THE MAIN OBJECTIVE of Memorial Day, other than special remembrances of family and friends not with us any more, is to pay patriotic remembrance to those who have served in our nation’s military.

If you’re anyplace where there

are several persons nowadays, what happens when someone appears in military uniform?

Invariably, you’ll see total strangers walk up to the soldier, sailor, airman or marine in his or her American uniform to offer a handshake of thanks for what he or she is doing,

serving our country, for the rest of us.

Even folks who are ideologues against our military effort in Iraq and Afghanistan, do show their appreciation for our young men and women under arms.

Or even for a veteran, who may be identified by a lapel pin or a ball cap as a former military person, can expect a show

of gratitude from others.

Well, it has not always been like that, we regret to say.

Remember Jane Fonda?

She was one of the ring leaders who had the unfortunate stance of blaming the service personnel for America’s participation in the Vietnam war.

She worked up such a public fren-

zy that thousands of otherwise normal Americans turned their wrath on the men and women who served in our military effort in Vietnam.

As that conflict ended and our service personnel came home, they were greeted with verbal insults, loud taunts and disgust.

What a terrible thing to do to persons who were simply serving their

military duty for their country, and yes, the taunters, too.

May those days never again happen in our great country.

So, right now, in addition to taking an opportunity to express our gratitude to our service personnel, let us thank God for the healthy, moral, decent attitude that prevails in America today.

OKIE’s #stateofstyle is the hottest ticket in town!

It was a hot evening, not only because of record-breaking weather but because the OKlahoma Israel Exchange (OKIE) #stateofstyle ...

Israel’s modern and fashionable history was the hot ticket in town.

A crowd of almost 350 entered the second floor walkway of the OSU DISCOVERY venue, catching a glimpse of the glittering tables below. The floor to ceiling windows provided a breathtaking view of downtown OKC. Once party-goers moved down the stairs to a festive champagne reception, they had the opportunity to reconnect with old friends and meet new ones.

An electric energy filled the room as OKIE President David Stanley took the mic. There were brief introductions and then an upbeat video featuring cameos by Gov. Frank Keating, Gov. Bill Anoatubby, as well as Ann and Burns Hargis, highlighting the work of OKIE captured everyone’s attention.

Martha Burger, past recipient of OKIE’s LIGHT LEADERSHIP

LEGACY Award presented the 2022 honor to Carla Hinton, Oklahoman religion editor. Serving as honorary chair for the night was Lee Allan Smith, the man who elevates every Oklahoma event.

Ann and Burns Hargis with cochairs Elaine and Harrison Levy led the motzi, the Jewish prayer recited when breaking bread before a meal.

Paseo Grill served Mediterraneaninspired cuisine bursting with fresh ingredients and authentic spices like Zatar receiving rave reviews, each course was paired with an Israeli wine. Following dinner, it was time to slice up and share those elegant cake centerpieces that had been tempting guests all evening.

Edie Roodman, executive director of OKIE took the stage to give shout outs to committee members, volunteers, vendors and of course donors .

A powerful and poignant video titled “Shining Star” related the story of Israel’s response to the Ukrainian crisis, quickly construct-

ing a state of the art field hospital within Ukraine’s borders to administer emergency aid. OKCMayor David Holt encouraged everyone to travel to Israel with video, photos, and comments from his own recent trip, saying it was truly life changing.

Then it was on to the fun! Sherri Lance introduced Israeli Fashionating by Liri creator Liraz Cohen (Liri) who wowed with her multimedia runway extravaganza.

Twenty of OKC’s chic celebrities, dynamic dignitaries and illustrious leaders donned Israeli fashion from 1909 to present day, part of Liri’s own curated collection of vintage pieces. Liri narrated the dramatic story of modern-day Israel with models strutting the illuminated catwalk and dancing to the beat of music from each decade. According to Liri, “advocating for Israel was never more beautiful!”

And in OKIE tradition, Rabbi Ovadia Goldman provided a last L’chayim, sending the audience home with a meaningful message.
