NHills addresses ‘poor soil,’ sewage backups in revised building codes
Hooray for the Red, White and Blue!
By Mike W. Ray Staff Writer The Nichols Hills City Council adopted a host of changes to building regulations that will affect residential construction in the municipality. The modifications and updates were recommended by a Building Code Committee appointed last December to review building material regulations, exterior construction standards, plus building- and safety-related codes. One new mandate is that “geotechnical evaluations” of soils must be performed prior to construction of structures comprising 3,000 square feet or more of air conditioned space, including additions of 3,000 or more square feet to existing buildings. Nichols Hills has “poor soil,” said architect Larry Herzel, chairman of the Building Code Committee, so soil tests will help determine the proper footing, or perhaps a need for piers, to adequately support those houses. Another provision is that all new and replacement sanitary sewers for homes and businesses alike must be protected from sewage backups by the installation of backflow preventers. In the future, residences built in Nichols Hills must be designed to resist wind speeds of 90 miles per hour and garage doors for all new homes must be rated for 135 mph winds. Permissible materials for exterior walls in residential districts will include, but not be limited

The students were members of OKC FRIDAY’s All-Star Leadership and Scholarship Teams,
which were included in our Class of 2018 special edition. The All-Stars were graduates of nine Fridayland high schools. They were asked, “What is the greatest concern facing your generation?” With more and more jobs requiring college degrees, the cost to attend college is also rising. Students are eager to learn and strive to make the world a
better place, but by doing so they are also choosing to spend most of their adult lives paying off student loan debt. “I believe that the greatest concern facing my generation is the gradual erosion in education funding,” said Tara Ramakrishnan, Casady School graduate. “Society seems reluctant to invest in education because See CONCERNS, Page 7
died June 29 in Houston’s Methodist Hospital of an extremely rare blood disease, Amyloidosis. His services were held Monday in the St. Elijah Antiochian Orthodox Christian Church. After the graveside service, his family hosted a dinner and celebration of his life at the Oklahoma City Golf & Country Club. Friends and relatives talked from a stage and told, “Brad stories” in remembrances at the gathering.
Longtime municipal judge to retire After 32 years of faithful service to the City of Nichols Hills, Municipal Judge Charles B. Lutz, Jr. has announced his retirement from the municipal court bench. Judge Lutz, a lifelong resident of Nichols Hills, was first appointed by the City Council to serve as a municipal judge in July of 1986. The final Nichols Hills Municipal Court docket over which he
will preside is Sept. 5. Judge Lutz is a graduate of the University of Oklahoma and the University of Oklahoma College of Law. He was admitted to the Oklahoma Bar in 1968, admitted to the United States Tax Court in 1970 and was honored by the Oklahoma County Bar Association for 50 years of membership. Judge Lutz has had a storied career in law, litigating matters in dis-
trict court, the Western and Eastern Districts of Oklahoma courts and even before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, wherein matters he has represented resulted in published court opinions. As a municipal Judge, Lutz said he was particularly proud of the Court’s approach in dealing with juvenile offenders. See JUDGE, Page 7

friends packed the church to overflowing and standing. His wife, Valerie Naifeh, concluded the club dinner with a few Brad stories of her own. His inability to order at drive-thru windows was legendary. Even his mother, Jeaneen Naifeh, and sister, Jenee Lister, were laughing and nodding their heads about it. “Life isn’t as much fun without him in it,” concluded Valerie. See obituary on Page 3.

Obituary
Oklahoma City FRIDAY, Friday, July 13, 2018, Page 3
Naifeh a tireless advocate of OKC Bradley Z. Naifeh, Oklahoma City businessman, passed away Friday, June 29 in Houston while waiting for a heart transplant after being diagnosed with a rare blood disorder. He was 64. Born Aug. 16, 1953, Brad was the oldest child of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Z. Naifeh of Oklahoma City. He was in the second graduating class of Heritage Hall and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Business from Westminster College in Fulton, Mo. in 1976. He was a member of Delta Tau Delta fraternity. Brad was a thirdgeneration business owner of Central Liquor Company, along with his brother, Greg, and cousin, Justin, both of Oklahoma City. Of Lebanese descent, Brad came from a very entrepreneurial family. His grandfather on his mother’s side, Kay (Kamil) Eddie, started what at one time was the world’s largest feed mill, Superior Feed, located just south of downtown. Brad’s grandfather on his father’s side, Zeak
Naifeh, immigrated through Ellis Island as a young boy and went on to found Sooner Candy and Tobacco Co. and then, in 1959 when Oklahoma became “wet,” Central Liquor Company. Brad was a co-founder of Best Brands Distributing Co. and a partner in Naifco Oil. A passionate golfer, Brad was a stock-holding member of Oklahoma City Golf and Country Club, Oak Tree National and a member of the Plantation Club of La Quinta, Calif. Brad was a former Board member of the Oklahoma Health Center Foundation and the Oklahoma State Chamber. He was a graduate of Leadership Oklahoma Class of 17. He was a member of the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce and served on the Board of Advisors since 2006. Brad was on the chamber’s Board of Directors from 2012-2016, the Tinker Leadership Community in 2008 and 2017, and he served on the Oklahoma City Economic Development Foundation Board of Directors
from 2000-2007. Most recently Brad served as vice chairman of the chamber’s Total Resource Development Campaign. Brad joined the Young President’s Organization in 1992 and WPO in 2004. He loved the friendships and business connections he made and grew as a person and businessman through his YPO Forum Group. A tireless fundraiser, Brad was a board member of the Swing for Sight Golf Tournament in the 1990s and founded Taste for Sight, both benefitting Prevent Blindness Oklahoma. In 2005, Brad developed and co-chaired Les Femmes du Vin, a wine tasting fundraiser featuring the women winemakers of Napa and Sonoma and benefitting
the Children’s Hospital Foundation. The event was so popular it went on to be modeled in other cities by the very vintners for whom it was created. Brad was a long-time supporter of Allied Arts and cochaired the biannual OPUS event with his wife of 28 years, Valerie, in 2014 and 2016. A tireless advocate of Oklahoma City and its many non-profits, Brad worked to raise money for many of them including Peaceful Family Solutions, the Scott and Kim Verplank Foundation, the YWCA, the Jim Thorpe Museum and Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame and many, many more that are too numerous to mention.

OKC ENERGY ROUNDUP
Energy FC riding unbeaten streak Following a home game last Wednesday against Las Vegas, OKC Energy FC will enjoy about 10 days off before returning to the action July 21 at Sacramento Republic FC for the first of three games to finish off the month. OKC returns home to Taft Stadium for two games against
Fresno FC on July 25 and San Antonio again on July 28. Kickoff for both games is set for 7:30 p.m. Single-game tickets range from $11 to $51 and can be purchased at www.energyfc.com. Matchweek 17 wasn’t exactly what Energy FC were hoping for in terms of results, but two good performances and two points from matches against Western Conference rivals to keep a fivematch unbeaten run intact is never a bad thing. On Wednesday night, San Antonio FC and Energy FC did what they’ve done so often in the past and battled to a draw – the sixth in the short history between the

two clubs. Jose Barril’s goal of the week/month/year contender from Alex Dixon’s inch-perfect cross in the 68th minute was canceled out nine minutes later by an outstanding goal from San Antonio’s Alex Bruce. Energy FC will certainly feel like three points were there for the taking, having created the better of the chances. If it weren’t
for several big saves by San Antonio goalkeeper Matt Cardone to deny Miguel Gonzalez, Christian Volesky and Christian Ibeagha, OKC might have gone ahead much earlier and potentially won comfortably. After scoring his world-class goal, Barril had another opportunity to give the Greens the lead again in the 80th minute, but a good tackle and a questionable no-call in the box prevented that from happening. After week 17, the Greens are still seven points behind 8th place, but they’ll have a chance to jump ahead two positions with a win over Las Vegas Lights FC on Wednesday evening. – www.energyfc.com

an early four-run deficit and send the Dodgers to an 18-8 loss last Sunday at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark. The teams combined for 26 runs and 36 hits in the final game before the PCL All-Star Break as they wrapped up a fivegame series in OKC, which the Express won 4-1. The 18 runs scored by the Express were the most runs allowed by the Dodgers since
Oklahoma City allowed a team-record 24 runs July 22, 2012 in Memphis. The Dodgers racked up 15 hits in the game and built a 4-0 lead through two innings starting with a two-run homer by Andrew Toles in the first inning. Henry Ramos led off the bottom of the second inning with a solo homer into the Dodgers bullpen in left-center field. Jake Peter followed with a triple, then scored on a RBI groundout by Connor Joe. The Express then racked up seven runs in the sixth inning to open up a 16-5 lead. The Dodgers (46-39) scored two runs in the seventh inning on a RBI double by Edwin Ríos. He later scored on a passed ball. OKC reliever Logan Ondrusek (0-1) was charged with the loss. – www.okcdodgers.com

the perceived gains are not immediate. Well-educated students are the key to a country’s prosperity and success in the international arena.” Brooklyn Bennett, a Putnam City North graduate, said that she is concerned for the lack of funding her generation has experienced. “The lack of funds has inhibited our education because we have not been given all the opportunities possible in order to succeed,” she said. Another school related issue that students mentioned was violence and adversity, whether it was within the fear of being different or feeling like equals. “The greatest concern facing my generation is violence in schools,” said Kyle Dowers, Mount St. Mary High School graduate. “It is a true issue that needs to be resolved. Schools should be safe places for children to learn; however, it has become a safety concern. The increase in school shootings must be addressed and diminished.” Ethan Renner, a Deer Creek graduate, said he believes that the world should get along to allow a better environment for everyone. “The greatest concern for my generation is the way the world

However, we are often viewed as lazy and entitled; that stereotype must cease to exist.” “The lack of unity is the greatest concern facing our generation,” said Lauren Onofrio, Putnam City North graduate. “It is seen every day at school; whether it is because of race, religion, or other factors that make us different. Everyone deserves to be accepted for who they are, and our generation needs to realize that.” Students were also incredibly worried about climate change and environmentalism. “In the last 40 years, we tripled our consumption of Earth’s natural resources,” said Mallory Woodruff, a Casady School graduate. “We’re creating an unlivable planet by polluting our air, oceans, and homes. While I understand that drastic alterations don’t exist as realistic, immediate solutions addressing the severity of our environmental impact remains an important first step.” Luke Albert, another Casady School graduate, is most concerned with the effects of global warming. “I have countless concerns facing our generation, however

the most potentially catastrophic threat is global warming,” he said. “Global warming has the potential to forever alter Earth’s ecosystem and ravage human civilization, and the scariest part is we don’t know yet the full range of its consequences.” Heritage Hall graduate Michael Mandanas agreed. “Preventing runaway global warming from devastating coastal cities and natural ecosystems worldwide is today’s most pressing issue. Specifically, the greatest challenges lie both in getting people to believe that climate change exists and in getting people to care enough to take action.” Other students, such as Harding Fine Arts Academy graduate, Phoebe Austerman, just wants students enjoy all the beauty the planet has to offer. “I hope this generation fully appreciates the extensive natural beauty of the world around us. In a fastpaced society, it’s easy to overlook these sort of things, but taking the time truly nurtures the soul,” said Austerman.

Mayor E. Peter Hoffman said he has known Lutz for most of his life and is ‘fortunate to consider him a friend.” “He continues to be an excellent attorney and has always been supportive of our community,” Hoffman said. “In particular, during the past 32 years, Judge Lutz has done an outstanding job as our Nichols Hills municipal judge. We greatly appreciate his efforts on behalf of our city and Judge Lutz wonderfully embodies the giving spirit of unselfish public service.” “Thank you, Charlie. We will miss you and wish you well in your future endeavors. All the best from all of us in Nichols Hills. You have helped make our City a better place.” A farewell reception for Lutz is set for Wednesday, Sept. 5, 2018 at 3 p.m. at the Nichols Hills City Hall, 6407 Avondale Drive. All friends, coworkers, and wellwishers are welcome to attend.
JUDGE CHARLES LUTZ, JR.
The appointees were chosen because of their “expertise in the various disciplines of the construction industry,” the City Council related in a resolution they adopted. The committee was tasked with ensuring that Nichols Hills’ codes comply with minimum state-wide standards.

What happened to the patriotic music?
R
ED, WHITE AND BOOM electrified the masses gathered at State Fair Park for the July 3 event. Music Director Alexander Mickelthwhate’s enthusiastic and expert conducting of the orchestra received raves from young and old alike. The orchestra sounded fantastic from a medley of Star Trek themes to Verdi. I missed all patriotic music from past Independence Day performances where the music builds from You’re a Grand Old Flag to This Land Is Your Land and right on through the Sousa marches and the top 50 patriotic tunes. The Service Songs of branches of the military are always a big hit. The conductor usually thanks all the veterans in the audience and asks them to stand when their song is played. I hope Alexander will do that next year. America the Beautiful was astonish-
ingly moving as performed by the Canterbury Voices and the orchestra. The program ended with 1812 Overture. I guess everyone is afraid to perform the National Anthem these days for fear of someone taking a knee. An exceptional concert with the new “First Lady” of the orchestra, Abigail Mickelthwate, joining the season-ticketed VIPs for a pre-concert dinner of hot dogs, hamburgers and barbecued pork in the air-conditioned building.

Dear Editor It is often said: “No good deed goes unpunished.” That is certainly true of Gentner Drummond’s recommendation of Katherine English for a position with the EPA. The Oklahoman’s Saturday morning front page article, and articles across the national media, were quite critical of Drummond for recommending a “lobbyist” for a position within the EPA. It was as if he was doing something illicit or illegal. I hope making job recommendations for someone you have confidence in, and know will do a good job, isn’t a bad thing because I surely have done it many times in my life. These articles don’t tell much of the real story. Katherine, who is my step-daughter, is truly qualified for a position with the EPA, having worked on many environmental issues on both sides of the table. First as a leading staff lawyer for Senator Inhofe and, more recently, as a representative for Dow Chemical Company. Katherine lost her job with Dow through no fault
of hers but because Dow merged with Dupont and the surviving entity retained the Dupont staff and, as with most mergers, some of the staff of the merged company were let go. Katherine not only lost her job because of the merger, but in recent years has lost her vision. Drummond’s efforts on Katherine’s behalf were nothing more than a most kind and generous effort to help a childhood friend -- who is a bright, capable, vision-impaired person -find work for which she was truly wellsuited. Having been in and out of politics for a good part of my life I know that anything about one’s life is fair game for attacks by one’s political opponents, however it does seem a shame that a noble gesture -attempting to help someone who needs help -- can be utilized as the basis for a political attack. It was a good deed and it hasn’t gone unpunished. In our family Gentner Drummond is a hero. -- Andy Coats

Mark celebrates birthday in less than Mellow setting D
on’t you find that usually a party invitation gives you a hint as to the appropriate dress for the occasion? Didn’t have a clue this time. Bubbly and beautiful Patti Mellow had us rolling on the floor with the printed invitation request for our presence for Mark’s birthday party. Smiling in a photo and attired in a white business shirt with the sleeves rolled up, Mark also had on black socks. That’s it! I’m sure there were
boxers/briefs involved, but you just saw his mightily toned legs and those socks while he was standing on an outdoor patio with a big old orange cat meandering by. The invitation questioned, “Missin’ something Doc???” and then the aside: (We tend to be forgetful as

we age). Fairly certain we weren’t to wear shirts and no pants,
we dressed more conservatively. The party was in full swing when we arrived at their Oakdale Farm home and nobody was pant-less. There was a gentleman on the piano as well as a seasoned trumpet player, lots of food and beverage, and a lot of gaiety. Everyone was talking about Mark’s book signing for The Good Neighbor at Full Circle that day, which was published last fall. A funny contrast to his invitation attire – it was an inspirational book, very compelling – and several said it was so wonderful that they’d given them as gifts. It was the kind of party that facilitated great conversations

Stan Hupfeld, Cynda and Larry Ottaway, and Liz and Clark Ward. Patti called us to attention and with an impish grin on his face, Mark launched into song with the musical accompaniment and played to his crowd. He had the hand gestures and hip swing down pat. There might be a slight advantage there in that he and Patti are contest-winning ballroom dancers and practice at Dancemakers. Elaine Levy is hilarious. In the midst of our conversation, she stopped me, “Where is Hal? I would like a drink.” We both swiveled our heads and didn’t see him. Elaine sighed See JOY, Page B7

She has been there for me for the past four years and hopefully will be with me for many more.” – Isabella Wright Jeff Hicks, Classical Guitar “Mr. Hicks has been my mentor since freshman year, not only in guitar, but in many areas of high school. He’s always encouraging me to strive for excellence and I credit him with my growth as a musician as well as a wellrounded student.” – Phoebe Austerman Ms. Kathy Crismyre: U.S. History & AP Psychology Ms. Lee Ann Sturm: AP Human Geography “Ms. Crismyre and Ms. Sturm have taught me so much about history, the world, how people function and why. Their dedication to teaching is amazing and their classes combined are basically a ‘Humans 101’ course learning about both the brain and culture, which are two of my favorite things.” – Whitney Clear “Kathy Crismyre has made a great impact on me. She has always stood for the little man which is something I admire greatly about her and strive to be like myself. Throughout high school, Ms. Crismyre has been one of my biggest support systems outside of my own family.” – Madison Gregg “She has taught me firsthand what being determined and working for success looks like. She is kind, gracious, and a force to be reckoned with. She is both a mentor and a friend.” – Jadyn Powell Naomi Rothrock: French I AP & Capstone “Rothrock has been with me all throughout my high school career. She has shown me how to be kind, reliable, dependent, but most importantly, a leader. I want to thank her for being such a great example for me and many other students.” – Madalyn Wetmore Mrs. Revah: Math and English at Millwood Elementary “She taught me how to have a drive at a very young age.” – Anai Robinson CASADY SCHOOL Carmen Clay, Service Learning “When I wanted to start a voter registration program that extended to communities beyond Casady, she drove me south of downtown to meet with Dr. Raul Font, President of the Latino Community Development Agency (LCDA), and set up my first registration drive. Since then, she has enabled and helped me at every turn including helping me start Casady’s YAG club and a letter of recommendation for college.” – Luke Albert Josh Bottomly, English Seminar “Mr. Bottomly and his English seminar helped me realize things aren’t always as simple as they seem. Through his class, he showed me that sometimes there isn’t a right or wrong answer, and how to accept this. He helped me understand the world more.” – Nia Blackwell
David Gorham, Honors Latin II, Pre-AP Latin III, AP Latin IV, Post-AP Latin V “Mr. Gorham has perfectly combined supreme teaching acumen and fatherly accountability. Within the classroom, he has polished me as a student. Outside the classroom, he has developed me as a man, and for that, I am forever indebted to him.” – Jackson Davis “David Gorham has been at Casady for more than 50 years and his teaching style is my favorite teacher at Casady. He finds a way to make my classmates and me do a lot of work, while still making the class a fun experience. He’s also understanding of busy schedules.” – Aidan Raikar John Kelly, AP Euro, Advisor “Mr. Kelly has always taught in a stress-free and comfortable environment. He makes sure to learn alongside us and have discussions about issues in and outside of the course material. John Kelly is a lover of Patriot football, whisperer of squirrels, and an educator and mentor every day in the classroom.” – Jackson Wilks Andrew Banecke, English II and English III “Mr. Banecker taught me to truly think analytically. Although his junior English course required strenuous effort, I learned to enjoy the complexity of classic literature and the final result of a well-written paper. I am unbelievably grateful to him for compelling me to write with significance.” – Mallory Woodruff Terrence Harmon, Natural Science and Environmental Studies “Mr. Harmon was a rugged down to earth man who taught me that there is more to school than just getting good grades; so rather than putting mindless hours into school work, I learned to pursue what made me happy instead and the grades came eventually.” – Christopher Goodall Dr. Janet Hubbell, English III and College counseling “Dr. Hubbell not only proved to me that cool, funny adults do, in fact, exist, but she also helped me to realize my own potential outside my usual STEM classes. She has also been by my side throughout my college search, continuously inspiring me to apply myself.” – Katherine Henry Dr. Carlos Torres: Spanish “Through his enthusiasm for teaching and for his love of Spanish in general, Dr. Torres has inbred in me a love for language. He has not only challenged me to think in a different manner, but he has also given me the ability to see new perspectives through different cultures.” – Angela Jarjoura Julieta Zesiger, Honors Chemistry, AP Chemistry “Ms. Zesiger taught me the importance of developing a strong work ethic and a resilient character. By taking her Honors Chemistry class sophomore year, I not only fostered my love for the sciences, but I also learned that a positive attitude can make any quiz, test, or lab report worthwhile.” – Tara Ramakrishnan BISHOP MCGUINNESS CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL Julia Anderson-Holt, Pre-AP Chemistry, AP Chemistry “Mrs. Anderson’s passion rubs off on all her students. She was always willing to answer my questions, even if it meant we went a little off topic. She is extremely knowl-
edgeable about everything Chemistry, and even History and Math. Her humor brightened all of her classes, and I miss her spunky personality and AP Chemistry labs every day.” – Dede Chapline Sally Schmidt, Algebra I “Mrs. Schmidt’s class taught me not only how to get the correct answer, but also what that answer meant and the process behind how I got it. Mrs. Schmidt gave me my passion for determining not just the what, but also the why of a situation.” –Scott Schwager Rachel Dowell, Latin, Leadership “Mrs. Dowell has had a tremendous impact on my life in the past two years, pushing me to grow both academically and personally. She motivated me to impact my school community by helping me overcome my apprehension and focus on what I could do, rather than what I couldn’t.” – Nathan Baker Nicky Goff, Physics and Calculus “Mr. Goff is one of those teachers who ties logic into every aspect of life. Once a week he gives us what he calls a “Biblical Thought” in which he shares some of his knowledge with his students and ties theories that seem ethereal back into actuality.” – London Klechka Katie Troutt, History “Mrs. Troutt is among the most influential people I have encountered in high school. She was my teacher during my junior year. At the beginning I was very scared of her. It wasn’t until later that I would realize the impact she would have on my life. Mrs. Troutt’s class gave me the chance to forget about how my day was going and just to relax. I was always a kid who struggled in school but she always challenged me to do better. What I love most about her is that she does not take herself too seriously. She always had a good time with us and would joke around with me. She is among my favorite people and I am really going to miss seeing her next year. I can’t thank her enough for what she did for me that year.” – Olivia Schmidt Brett Young, Speech and Debate/Theatre “I only had Mr. Young for a year but he had a profound impact on my life. He expanded my acting horizons and developed me as a person and an actor. I have learned so much from him and wish that I could’ve had more time to learn from him.” – Lucas Phillip Schrantz Tricia Brown, Elementary School Science at Saint Mary’s Episcopal School “Mrs. Brown taught me that nerding out about Komodo Dragons and Deer feces was okay. She taught me how to be curious about not just science, but everything. She taught me how to appreciate little things. And it wasn’t until a year ago I realized the impact she had on me, but it was, to say the least, extraordinary.” – Sara Salomon Ann Whitbeck, 6th grade Earth Science, 7th grade Biology, and 8th grade at Christ the King; Physical Science (Current Swim Coach at Bishop McGuinness “She was the teacher that inspired my passion for the sciences. It was in her classroom that I truly learned to apply the scientific method to my daily life. She pushed me to observe and test everything. In retrospect, I realize that putting a crayon in the pencil sharpener was not a good idea.”
– Shane Dolan Lori Sciortino, Math “In 7th grade, I had an extremely hard time with adding and subtracting integers. This teacher worked so hard with me to learn such a simple topic and I have used that as a model for myself ever since.” –Tucker Hill CROSSINGS CHRISTIAN SCHOOL Helen Denman, Pre-AP Chemistry, AP Chemistry, Physics, AP Physics “My chemistry and physics teacher, Mrs. Helen Denman, has had the greatest impact on me. Over the past three years, she has taught me not only the fundamentals of my now-favorite science classes, but also work ethic, determination, and essential problem solving skills.” – Gabe Cohlmia “Mrs. Denman is an unbelievable teacher who always puts the students first. She is organized, extraordinarily intelligent, and a phenomenal teacher.” –Luke Santos “Mrs. Denmam’s classes are quite challenging, but they allowed me to discover that I was capable of handling difficult concepts and encouraged me to pursue a STEM major.” – Nancy Wilkinson Randy Baker, Pre-AP English, AP Literature “Mr. Baker has been very influential in my academic career because he has pushed me to think on a deeper level when reading and writing and in life in general.” – Allison Crampton Michael Brown, Band “Mr. Brown has been my band director for 5 years and I have gained so much from him. He pushes us to learn more and grow in so many ways. He’s encouraging and has helped me to have the confidence to be a part of the things I now love.” – Grace Hill Matthew Henneke, Algebra I, Trig I, Pre-Calc, Calculus, Statistics, College Algebra “Mr. Henneke has always been an outstanding and supportive teacher. He understands the work load all of the students are under, yet pushes us to excel while making upper level concepts understandable to all.” – Matthew Loper “Mr. Henneke has been my math teacher for three years. Thanks to him, not only have I grown as a student, but as a person. He has consistently challenged me and helped me to succeed. He is one of the few teachers that has made a lasting impact on me.” – Ellie Rahill Sarah Myrick, Pre-AP and AP Art “Mrs. Myrick has impacted my life in numerous ways both academically and spiritually. She has invested in me as a person, and pushed me to be a better artist. In her class, I have learned how to become a better painter, use new techniques, and I’ve learned many life lessons.” – Alexis Redwine “An educator who has had a profound impact on me is my AP Art teacher Mrs. Myrick. Mrs. Myrick has been someone who is a constant encourager, but also the voice of reason in my school life. She pushes me to do my best but also is always honest.” – Delanie Mayfield Janetta Jante, English “Ms. Jante is a teacher who has truly impacted my life because she not only cared about my successful education, but she also cared about me personally and wanted me to succeed in and out of the classroom. She is an amazing woman and I am
extremely blessed to have had her for two years.” – Grayson Weast HERITAGE HALL Nick Carter, Honors English II “Two years ago, I had the privilege of being in an honors English class taught by Mr. Carter. Mr. Carter is an incredible teacher (and man)—he taught me the value of literature to society as well as in my own life. I have a great appreciation of the subject because of him.” –Madison Eales Mark Rauch, AP Chemistry, AP Biology “Mr. Rauch, a proponent of the “flipped classroom” pedagogy, uses online video lectures to free up class periods for more laboratory work. His dry wit and willingness to banter even amidst serious discussions enliven class time. He loves science and is happiest when imparting this love to his students.” – Michael Mandanas Ryan Ackerman, Calculus AB, BC Statistics “Mr. Ackerman’s emphasis on proofs in mathematics taught me to approach math in a different way. He encouraged me to pursue my logical reasoning skills.” – Gene Moon Azlan Smith, Sophomore Honors English “Mr. Azlan Smith taught me to write, learn, and live with sincerity. He has been a great friend of mine for three years now, and he has since taught me what art can be, the value of openness, and how to live with the wonder of a child.” – Luke Wlliams Dr. Chris Hame, Honors United States History “Dr. Hamel not only taught me how to effectively write in my own voice, but he taught me a lot about being the best person I can be. He pushed me every day to work hard and not settle for anything less than my best. In my hardest academic year Dr. Hamel helped me keep my head high so I could open doors for my future. Dr. Hamel is a great teacher, man and mentor.” – Georgia Davies Doug London, Assistant Head of School, AP Literature and Composition “As my senior year English teacher, Mr. London sparked in me a passion for reading and analyzing texts and stories. He has inspired me to pursue a deep and never ending education, and has largely influenced at the world. His wisdom, humor, empathy, and humility is unmatched. I aspire to one day make a fraction of the impact he has made in institutions and in the lives of others.” – Haley Karchmer Jay Michael Ferguson, Drama, Musical Theatre, Head of the Heritage Hall Fine Arts department “This man has taught me to find the confidence in myself I never thought I had and use it to create something amazing. Without his support and his coaching, I don’t think I would be me, and I certainly wouldn’t have been presented with the amazing opportunities ahead of me.” – Whitney Wood Vicki Autry, 1st & 2nd Grade at Wayland Bonds Elementary “Mrs. Autry is the woman that taught me to love school and learning. She always had a smile on her face and loved her job. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008 and showed me and our entire community how to be positive no matter what until she passed away in 2012.” –Sydney Lahodny

Life’s outtakes: A friendly community By Daris Howard Columnist There are many things that indicate the friendliness of a community, but the greatest is the desire of people to help their neighbors. I had experienced that helpfulness and saw it again in a humorous way one spring weekend. Sunday was a beautiful sunny day, the first after a couple of weeks of rainy weather. At church, it was hard to contain the youth in the classes long enough to get through a lesson. Trying to take them outside to teach them while they enjoyed the sunshine didn’t help. They basked in the warmth and didn’t pay attention to anything that was being taught. When church ended, the youth burst out the doors into the fresh air, much like frisky young creatures coming out of hibernation. But the adults were affected by this spring fever as well. Instead of visiting in the church foyer, as was usual, the conversations moved outside into the parking lot. I, too, went outside. As I was slowly moving to my car, I watched one family who was new to our community. The wife, Brenda, said to her husband, “Honey, could you drive the children home. I think I would like to walk home today.” “Good luck with that,” I
said. Brenda looked at me with surprise. “It’s not that far,” she said. “It can’t be much more than a mile.” “It’s not the distance,” I replied. “It’s the neighbors. Everyone is too friendly.” Brenda laughed. “How can neighbors be too friendly?” “You’ll see,” I replied. Brenda walked toward the road. Her husband and children passed her on their way home and waved. They were barely gone when Brenda settled into a nice casual stroll. But she hadn’t walked more than 15 yards when the first car stopped. The driver rolled down his window. “Do you need a ride?” I heard him ask. Brenda shook her head. “Just out for a pleasant walk home.” The friendly driver visited with her for a few minutes, and I could hear the angst in Brenda’s voice as she must have desired to be on her way. Finally, the driver pulled out around Brenda and continued on his down the road. Brenda hadn’t gone another 20 yards when the next car stopped. Once more the driver rolled down the car window, and I heard the familiar words. “Do you need a ride?” I was barely within earshot, but I could sense the frustration in Brenda’s voice as she
said she was just enjoying the walk. The driver visited with her for a few minutes and then drove on. As another car approached, Brenda appeared to quicken her pace. But she hadn’t made it too far when the third car stopped. By this time she was too far away for me to hear, but I could imagine that the conversation was much like the previous ones. Instead of heading home, I decided to continue watching. Brenda’s pace had changed from a pleasant walk to an almost-jog. But as I watched, three more cars stopped before she had even covered 100 yards. I climbed into my car and started on my way home. I watched ahead of me as cars continued to stop for Brenda to offer her a ride. When it was my turn, I pulled up alongside and rolled down my window, but I didn’t stop. Instead, I kept pace with her. “Now do you understand what I meant about the neighbors being too friendly?” I asked. Brenda sighed. “I guess it’s possible after all.” “That’s why when I walk home I cut through fields or follow the train tracks,” I said. With that, I continued on my way, but I smiled as I watched in my rearview mirror as the next car stopped to offer Brenda a ride.
