Village council split on benefits of providing public transportation

By Eric Oesch Staff Writer For years, The Village City Council has toyed with the idea of entering a partnership with Oklahoma City EMBARK to provide public transportation to residents of the city.

Last week upon the invitation of Vice Mayor Wynter Griffis, Jason Ferbrache, administrator/director for

EMBARK shared a Transit Rider Profile, a proposed budget and answered questions from the council.

Ferbrache proposed an extension to Route 007 that would bring service to The Village by extending the May Avenue bus north from NW 63 to Hefner Road. The bus would then encircle the city traveling Pennsylvania Avenue to Britton and Britton west to May Avenue

Four to receive Sister Cities Visions Awards Four well-known Oklahomans are set to receive Global Vision Awards presented by Sister Cities International Oklahoma City on Nov. 18 at the Embassy Suites at the OU Medical Center.

They are Secretary Bill Lance, Justice Yvonne Kauger, Major General Rita Aragon and Dr. William Parry.

Sister Cities International OKC Board of Directors voted unanimously to expand the Global Achievement awards to reflect the continued growth of Oklahoma City as a national leader in global cooperation at the municipal level, promoting cultural understanding and stimulating economic development.

Chickasaw Nation Secretary of Commerce Bill Lance is the recipient of the Global Vision Philanthropist Award. Lance is the longestserving Secretary of Commerce in the history of the Chickasaw Nation. Since he was first appointed to the role in 2009 annual net income generated by the nation’s businesses more than tripled, with a compounding annual growth rate of 11 percent. Prior to his tenure as Commerce Secretary, Lance served as administrator of the nation’s health system where, under the leadership of Governor Bill See AWARDS, Page 11

before returning south towards downtown.

The EMBARK Transit Rider Profile reports 61 percent of riders were born between 1960 and 1989 with 80 percent reporting a 2020 household annual income of less than $19,999. He shared that 47 percent of riders do not own cars, 40 percent use transit for work and 86 percent walk from home to the nearest bus stop.

The proposal would provide bus service every 30 minutes at bus stop locations to be determined. Estimated time from The Village to the downtown transfer terminal is 30 minutes.

Ferbrache presented an estimated budget of $1.63 million with EMBARK purchasing a new bus totaling $550,000. EMBARK would also cover the annual $857,245 cost to run the route.

The Village would cover the cost of bus stop signage estimated at $12,518 with an annual route cost to the city at $217,600.

“The Village is a prominent and critical part of the Oklahoma City metro and providing new ways to connect with our neighbors is a no-brainer,” said newly elected Mayor Adam Graham.

Our graduates are off to prestigious colleges Heritage Hall graduates Olivia Ross and Allie Lathrop are all smiles as they receive honors during the school’s annual awards ceremony.

See our Salute to the Class of 2022 in this week’s edition to learn more about students’ achievements.

By Rachel Dallalio Student Intern The 2022 high school graduates are preparing for higher education.

OKC FRIDAY’s nearly 100 All Stars included in the Salute to the Class of 2002, in today’s edition, are planning to attend 43 individual colleges, including two Ivy League schools.

Many of these schools are considered highly prestigious or close to the Ivy League level. The majority of the schools are outside of Oklahoma representing 22 differ-

ent states from the East to West Coasts.

These colleges range from extremely familiar to utterly unique catering to the students' choice in career path. This includes places such as Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. and the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Va. There are also three students attending two of the top eight Ivy League schools: Princeton and Harvard. These schools are followed by highly prestigious colleges such as the University of

Chicago and the University of Georgia which require above a 4.0 GPA for acceptance.

This is alongside two schools ranked Tier 1 for education which includes Rice University in Houston, Texas and Southern Methodist University in Dallas.

There are multiple other universities held in high prestige which these graduates plan to attend including the state’s own University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University and the University of Central Oklahoma.

college on National Merit Scholarships

By Rachel Dallalio Student Intern The National Merit Scholarship Corporation has announced its 2022 National Merit Scholarships winners.

There are four Fridayland high school seniors who were awarded the $2500 scholarship, funded by the National Merit Corporation.

These students were specially selected by a committee of college admissions officers and high school counselors for their high academic and community achievements. The NMSC has a goal of shining a light on the younger generations' achieve-

ments inside and outside of the school environment.

With this knowledge in mind, here are the four Fridayland high school students recognized as National Merit Scholarship winners.

Garrett Baumert, a Crossings Christian School graduate, is planning to study chemical engineering.

Heritage Hall’s Gary Smith’s major is computer science.

Divya Chandrasekaran, from Casady School, wants to be a journalist.

These four students began their journey for the National Merit Scholarship Competition in October 2020 by taking the PSAT/NMSQT. The students were then chosen from a pool of 15,000 students as a part of 2,500 Merit Scholars finalists for the scholarship program.

Then, the students completed multiple rounds of testing and evaluation ultimately leading to their point of selection as a finalist.

After careful evaluation of their test scores and academic achievements, they were among the top percentile chosen for this award.

After these scholarships are officially implemented, it will go toward furthering their education after they graduate from their respective high schools.

Obituary

Oklahoma City FRIDAY, Friday, May 27, 2022, Page 3

Kelly Bret Clark Sept. 10, 1967 ~ April 28, 2022

Kelly Bret Clark, of Texas and Oklahoma, died unexpectedly on April 28, 2022. He was only 54-years-old. The family is deeply saddened and shocked by his sudden death. He was born in Fullerton, Calif. At age five his family moved to Oklahoma. He attended Casady School, Heritage Hall and graduated from Wentworth Military Academy, and received his B.A. from the University of Central Oklahoma.

He moved to Washington, D.C., after college to intern for Sen. James Inhofe. He left that office after earning his Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) to work for the U.S. Senate. After receiving his PCI-QSA he worked for large companies internationally and across the United States, many of which are confidential.

He eventually received his Certified Information Security Manager (CISM). As a Principal Consultant for Verizon Enterprise Solutions, he managed a premiere set of consultants as a part of Verizon’s Professional Services.

At the time of his death, he was a PCIDSS Consultant for Protiviti, Dallas.

Kelly met Jennifer Starcevich at Heritage

KELLY BRET CLARK

Hall in 1984 when he was a junior and she was a freshman. They became life-long friends and stayed in contact throughout the years. In 2009, Kelly and Jennifer’s paths finally synced and they were able to begin a life together. He introduced Jennifer to scuba diving and they split their time between Lake Texoma and Edmond with Jennifer’s children Parker Easton, Mia Easton and many adored pets.

They were married on

March 30, 2013, in the home of Cheryl and Paul Clements.

In addition to a successful career, Kelly was an avid scuba diver and had recently received his rescue diver certification. He had plans to train and dive the infamous Truk Lagoon in Micronesia. Lake life and speed boating were other passions of his as well as computer gaming, where he made many good friends all over the world.

Kelly was a great stepfather who enjoyed spoiling Jennifer and the kids any chance he had with vacations, computers, gaming consoles, and gadgets.

He was the most generous son, brother, nephew, cousin, stepdad, husband, partner, and friend - traits that were obvious to all after even just a single meeting.

Kelly is survived by Jennifer Clark, the love of his life, and her children Parker Easton and Mia Easton, whom he loved greatly. Also survived by his mother Vicki Clark Gourley, brother Brandon Clark, sister-in-law Stacy Clark and nephews Graham and Gavin Clark. Also, his aunt and uncle June and Mike Graham of Dallas, as well as cousins Jeff Graham and Holly Graham Boney, stepmother Barbara Clark, stepsister Marcie Wilson-Kelley, aunt Teresa Clark Sprowls, uncle Cary Clark and an abundance of friends.

Kelly is preceded in death by his father Jerry Clark and stepfather Leland Gourley, and grandparents Mary Helen and Tom Graham, and Ernestine and Ray Clark.

We will miss him more than words can say.

VILLAGE From Page 1 “Partnering with EMBARK will better serve every member of our community, particularly the most vulnerable who lack access to vehicles. I’m excited to see how this partnership will continue to flourish.”

While Graham, Griffis and council member Sonny Wilkinson have expressed support for exploring EMBARK public transportation services during previous council meetings, other council members are not as enthusiastic.

“At this time, I would not support the proposed EMBARK system for The Village,” said councilman Bubba Symes. “In my 20 years associated with the council and my 50-plus years living in The Village, I have never been asked why we do not have a bus system or heard talk concerning a bus system before this came up.

“A $200,000-plus fixed cost for this service, per year, is a commitment that, though may be socially nice, in reality, is not practical for a city that is still trying to catch up with years of bad drainage, needed street improvements, expanded needs by our police and fire departments, our street crews and park and city maintenance needs,” said Symes. “Remember, our Village is for the most part built out. Our tax income will vary from year to year and will not improve leaps and bounds as our neighbors in Edmond and Oklahoma City.

“If we lose one of our grocery

Oklahoma City FRIDAY, Friday, May 27, 2022, Page 7

stores, just one, this loss will cut into the way we run the city dramatically. Over the years we have lost three, including a big Walmart,” he added. “We must preserve our financial stability and keep our reserve for losses we may incur in the coming uncertain times.”

Councilman Sean Cummings has twice traveled the proposed route and posted videos of his EMBARK experiences on his Facebook page.

“The presentation from EMBARK was fantastic. Full of energy and ideas,” said Cummings. “He (Jason Ferbrache) brought both good information and information that could be taken as a negative as well. For example, the drop in ridership in the last two years.”

According to Ferbrache, EMBARK has experienced a decline in ridership from 150,000 riders in FY 2019 to just 80,000 in FY 22. He attributes much of the decline in ridership to the COVID pandemic.

“Oddly enough, my wife Cathy Cummings approached EMBARK initially because of a customer of mine who requested information on getting a bus line through The Village,” he added.

“She and former council member David Bennett met with them for months.”

Cummings was recently elected to replace his wife, Cathy, who resigned to run for another office.

“When I rode the bus on two separate occasions, only two customers (riders) were on the bus from 63rd St and May. Maybe four customers were on the bus from Hefner to Penn,”

said Cummings. “We did gather a large amount of people downtown at the Hub. Maybe 10 or 12. Other than the one person who initially asked me about the bus, I have never had another person in The Village ask me.

“The bus routes presented were the beginning of a conversation,” he said. “Town Halls, public meetings, input from businesses and residents will be needed before any of those decisions can possibly be made.”

EMBARK shared some riders would have a possible half mile walk to the nearest bus stop.

“If this proposal were to come to fruition with possible half mile walks to the bus stop some people would be happy while others might be angry it was too far,” Ferbrache said. “Walking, bicycling or park and ride will be part of how this works. There is no right answer for this.”

City Manager Bruce Stone remembers when the city had a less expensive alternative to public transportation.

“We used to have a program called Share a Fare, which was subsidized taxi service for low income, elderly citizens,” said Stone. “The Village bought coupons from COTPA (now Embark) and the eligible citizens paid a part of the cost. The annual expenses for this program were around $2,000. Embark has a similar program using Send a Ride.

“The City Council did not opt to participate in this program when I brought it up a couple of years ago,” he said. “It would be an inexpensive option to help citizens who need help with transportation.”

f you know a high school student who wants learn how to make movies, there is no better place to start than deadCenter University. deadCenter University is a free program offered by the deadCenter Film Festival, June 912, that gives students aged 15-19 the opportunity to learn hands-on filmmaking from local filmmakers, industry professionals, and film professors from different schools and universities. The program is free, but requires registration by June 1 at www.deadcenterfilm.org/deadcenteruniversity. deadCenter University, which is open to 80 students, is broken up into two intensive training days and two days of watching movies and special events. The intensive training starts on June 9 at Green Pastures Studio in Spencer, where the students will learn how short films are created. The training will cover directing, camera operations, lighting, sound recording, styling, and on-set procedures.

Castle Row Studios in Midwest City will host day two on June 10, providing an inside view of a busy post-production studio. Castle Row Studios has recorded movie soundtracks and albums for years.

When the film industry started to blossom, Castle Row expanded their post-

production facilities and became one of the biggest post houses in the state.

The day at Castle Row will also feature interactive sessions with several filmmakers whose movies are screening in the film festival that weekend.

The final and most exciting aspect of deadCenter University is the free film festival pass for the students and a parent to attend movies together, make connections with other future filmmakers, and participate in Oklahoma largest gathering of filmmakers and film enthusiasts. Every year, deadCenter screens films from young Oklahoma filmmakers whose first exposure to making movies was deadCenter University. deadCenter University was launched in 2012 to provide an entry level look at the filmmaking process and film industry to Oklahoma high school students. The first few years were set up as a series of interactive discussions with outstanding filmmakers from Oklahoma or visiting from elsewhere.

ickson, director Fritz Kiersch, location scout Alison Naifeh, OCCC studio manager Sean Lynch, and casting director Chris Freihofer all shared their first-hand experience and inspired students to enroll in one of the great local film schools. deadCenter University kicked into high gear when deadCenter partnered with the film and digital media team at Metro Technology Center. Metro Tech loved the idea of DCU, but believed that there needed to be more hands-on film training. They offered to host the program and set up production teams led by local filmmakers so the students could produce actual scenes from movies. Eventually, those scenes included special effects, green screens, stop motion animation, and CGI. Today, deadCenter University is still hosted by Metro Technology Centers.

But the classes and training sessions are hosted inside working film studios across the metro area.

This gives students a firsthand look at the types of places they will be working in addition to the different jobs available. I highly recommend deadCenter University to any teenaged filmmaker. And, for all of you adults, go buy a deadCenter pass and join the celebration of film at eadcenterfilm.org.

CASA celebrates 7th annual Join in June campaign For the seventh year in a row, Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Oklahoma County is asking members of the community to step forward and join the ranks of their volunteers and supporters during a special June awareness push.

Dubbed “Join in June,” the campaign focuses on all the ways Oklahoma County residents can get involved with the nonprofit program. CASA works in conjunction with the juvenile court system to provide trained volunteer advocates who speak for the best interests of children in the foster care system due to abuse or neglect.

As part of the June recruitment campaign, CASA of Oklahoma Coun-

ty will host several public awareness events, including Lunch & Learns, a coffee and an Open House. Visit JoinInJune.org for details on these and other events throughout the month of June.

“We held our first Join in June campaign back in 2016, then turned it into an annual celebration of CASA’s mission,” said CASA’s Director of Recruitment Kathy North, “Our volunteer opportunity involves both a fragile population and a complex court system. We’re looking for a very special kind of person who is willing to confront the realities of the system with a compassionate heart.”

At CASA’s informational events, members of the community are invit-

ed to meet and hear from staff and even current volunteers, as CASA staff helps to demystify foster care in Oklahoma County. Last Fiscal Year, the program served approximately 40% of the nearly 2,000 children in care in the county.

North says the Open House and Lunch & Learn events introduce the community to the human side of CASA’s mission: “These events highlight the important outcomes a CASA volunteer can help achieve in these cases. Community problems require community solutions. It takes all of us working together to create positive change across our county.”

CASA volunteers are supported in their service by an Advocacy Super-

visor who coaches the advocate in writing court reports, appearing in court and participating in necessary meetings and visits. The volunteer advocate is never alone in their journey of service.

Join in June's events are free to the public and guests can RSVP by calling 405-594-3384 to speak to Kathy North.

Find CASA of Oklahoma County on the web at JoinInJune.org or OKCountyCASA.org. For information on other CASA programs around the state, visit the Oklahoma CASA Association website at oklahomacasa.org. CASA of Oklahoma County is a proud United Way Partner Agency.

This fall, the Oklahoma City Zoo and Botanical Garden will welcome a new addition to its okapi (pronounced oh-COP-ee) family when adult female okapi, Kayin, gives birth to her first calf.

Kayin, 6, is pregnant and due this fall. This will be the first offspring for the OKC Zoo’s okapi pair, Kayin and Bosomi, 4. The last okapi born at the OKC Zoo was Kayin in 2015 and now, life is coming full circle with the awaited arrival of her calf.

“We are extremely excited about Kayin’s pregnancy and cannot wait to see her caring for her own calf,” said Tracey Dolphin, OKC Zoo’s curator of hoofstock and primates. “An okapi birth is a significant event not only for our animal family but for the okapi population as a whole. By participating in a successful breeding program with the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA)’ Species Survival Plan® (SSP) for okapi, the Zoo is contributing to the conservation of this endangered species.”

Kayin was born at the OKC Zoo in 2015.

The calf’s father, Bosomi, arrived at the Zoo on a recommendation with the AZA’s SSP for okapi from Sedgwick County Zoo, Wichita, Kansas, in 2020.

The Zoo’s veterinary team confirmed Kayin’s pregnancy through ultrasounds and following an approximate 15month gestation period she is expected to give

birth this fall. Kayin is in good health and her daily routine including diet, training and spending time with Bosomi will remain consistent throughout her pregnancy. She is receiving excellent care and attention from her caretakers who are working closely with the Zoo’s veterinary team to monitor both mom and calf through ongoing exams and ultrasounds. Through positive reinforcement training and the strong relationship Kayin has with her caretakers, she voluntarily participates in these exams making it is a stress-free and comfortable experience for her.

Native to the Democratic Republic of the Congo in central Africa, okapis are a reclusive species often referred to as the “ghosts of the forests”. These unique animals have distinguishing physical features including a velvetlike brown coat, striped legs and hind quarters and enlarged ears. Plus, the okapi is the only living relative of the giraffe. Classified as endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, okapi populations in the wild – estimated between 10,000 and 50,000 – are currently decreasing primarily because of habitat loss resulting from logging and human settlement. The presence of illegal armed groups around protected areas and poaching are also major threats.

Wildlife fans can

help conserve okapi by donating their used electronic devices at the OKC Zoo. Small electronics frequently contain coltan and mining for this substance threatens the habitats of okapi and other endangered species. When individuals donate used phones or other electronics, the coltan from those devices is re-used and reduces the need to mine for the compound in okapi habitats. Additionally, guests can also choose to Round Up for Conservation, when purchasing items from gift shops or restaurants, located throughout the Zoo. Funds from Round Up for Conservation has been donated to the Okapi Conservation Project to help support the organization’s conservation efforts in Africa.

When visiting the Zoo, be sure to see Kayin and Bosomi at their habitat located across from Predator Pass. The Zoo will share updates on Kayin’s pregnancy on its social platforms.

Connect to wildlife and tons of fun as you experience the all new Bricklive Animal Paradise at the OKC Zoo. Sponsored by Devon, Bricklive features 45+ life-sized animal statues made with almost two million toy bricks!

Bricklive Animal Paradise will be at the Zoo now through October 30, 2022 and open daily from 9 am to 4:30 pm.
