Fridaylanders are honored for nonprofit service

Working to end Alzheimer’s

Five Fridaylanders are among the six men and women who will receive Visions Awards for their service to the nonprofit sector.

The Oklahoma Center for Nonprofits has announced the honorees for the annual event on Nov. 27 that recognizes tenacious and visionary leadership in nonprofit service, volunteerism and philanthropy.

This year, Oklahoma City’s James R. Tolbert, III, Dr. Kay Goebel, Anne Roberts, Beth Shortt and Stacy McDaniel, along with Kevin Evans of Woodward are to be honored with awards at Visions: A Celebration of Nonprofit Leadership.

Marnie Taylor, president and chief executive officer of the Center for Nonprofits, called the men and women “Oklahoma's finest” and lauded their work in advocacy, service and leadership.

“This is a wonderful group of people to honor this year,” Taylor said. “We have Kevin Evans from Woodward who has dedicated his life to serving youth in crisis, community leaders Jim Tolbert and Kay Goebel who have put Oklahoma arts and human services

Abby Dunnagan with cousins Charlotte, Emma and Anna Palazzolo at their lemonade stand in Nichols Hills. The girls are raising money for the Oct. 13 Walk to End Alzheimer’s. “We lost my husband’s grandfather, Walter ‘Jack’ Nashert to this horrible disease last July and our family has become very passionate about finding a cure for Alzheimer’s,” Adrian Palazzolo, Emma’s mom, said. Adrian’s mother-in-law, Chele Gatewood, is the chairman of the walk.

Flushing sewers: A dirty job but someone has to do it

Flushing out a clogged sanitary sewer line at Manchester Drive and Ridgeview Drive in 98-degree heat are The Village Sewer Supt. David Joslin, far left, assisted by city maintenance employees Garrett Matson, right; Colton Prince, center; and Bradly Blackburn, left.

Almost 56,000 linear feet (10.6 miles) of sanitary sewer lines in The Village were flushed out between the first of July last year and the end of June this year.

In a related practice, city workers routinely check 140 “troublesome” manholes throughout the community each month, to detect and resolve problems before they become a crisis. Foul odors emanating from manhole covers and wastewater overflows caused by heavy rainfall, are telltale signs of issues.

Sewer Superintendent David Joslin

said tree roots are the chief cause of sewer obstructions in The Village, but the second biggest culprit is towelettes used for cleansing, such as dirty hands and filthy kitchen countertops.

“I guess it’s because the label says they’re ‘disposable’,” Joslin said. “But they tend to cause disruptions in sewer lines.”

The Public Works Department recently had to clear a sewer line that was clogged with grease from a food service establishment in The Village, and a heavy concentration of grease caused an overflow in a sewer main last See SEWERS, Page 3

ing the early morning hours and checking cars until they find unlocked doors,” Chief Steven Cox said. “The suspects are taking items that are easy to conceal and carry.”

Those items include money,

garage door openers, wallets and loaded handguns, he said.

When the suspects find a car with keys, they take the car.

“Help us keep your neighborhood safe by removing valuables, locking your car

doors, closing garage doors and immediately reporting suspicious activity and noises,” Cox said. “If your neighbor’s dog is barking and it usually does not, something is probably wrong.”

Cox urged residents to call 843-5672 with concerns. He also asked homeowners to be sure security cameras are recording properly and are focused on the appropriate area.

‘Oklahoma!’ exhibit sweeps into the Oklahoma History Center Rodgers and Hammerstein’s seminal American musical “Oklahoma!” is given the Sooner state treatment as an exhibit celebrating the 75th anniversary is now on display at the Oklahoma History Center.

Oklahoma representative for the Rodgers and Hammerstein association Bud Elder said the exhibit arrives in Oklahoma City after a year of planning.

“Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein were forward thinking gentlemen who knew that their creative genius would survive the test of time,” Elder said. “This exhibit includes many items which have never been seen in public before and the fact they’re still in demand is a tribute to their contributions to American culture.”

“Any time of any day our state song is played to an appreciative audience, which learns that the people of Oklahoma are hard-working and proud.”

“Oklahoma! the 75th Anniversary Exhibit” will be part of the Oklahoma History Center’s collection for the next two years.

October.

Foreign objects are problematic, too. Line Maintenance crews in the Public Works Department extracted an 8-foot-long land timber from a manhole in April, found a pillow in a sanitary sewer manhole one time and pulled three junked bicycles plus some bike parts from a manhole on another occasion. A nerf football caused a blockage in a residen-

tial sewer pipe last October.

Joslin said he and other city maintenance workers typically spend approximately four hours a day, three days a week, cleaning out sewer lines in The Village. A trailer he pulls behind his city truck has a tank that holds 700 gallons of water and a compressor that produces 3,000 pounds of water pressure.

A toolbox on the trailer has various types of sprayer heads that attach to the water hose, for dislodg-

ing different kinds of obstructions in the lines. For example, one head is designed to chew up tree roots, while another bores and blasts through accumulated mud.

Principally because of the city’s preventive

maintenance program, just 94 feet of sewer lines in The Village – a town that encompasses a little more than two square miles and numbers approximately 10,000 residents – had to be repaired during the last 12 months.

Students

2018 Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation Fleming Scholar, Winston Scambler.

2018 Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation Fleming Scholar, Rachel Jordan.

Students complete OMRF program Two Fridayland students completed a summer of biomedical research at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation. Their term culminated with formal presentations outlining their individual research results to OMRF’s scientific staff.

For these gifted students, it marked the end of eight weeks of research alongside worldclass scientists at OMRF as part of the foundation’s Sir Alexander Fleming Scholar Program.

Since 1956, the program has provided in-state high school and college students a one-ofa-kind opportunity to get hands-on experience in a real research environment.

Rachel Jordan, a Bishop McGuinness High School alum, said her experience in this program has shifted her thinking about research.

“I thought this program

would be a great fit for my interests and it’s been a real dream come true,” said Jordan, a senior biology major at Texas Christian University. “My ultimate goal is to go to medical school and become a physician.

My summer at OMRF has really changed my thinking towards the desire to know the exact reasons for your body’s responses and how that relates to treatment and symptoms.”

In addition to working in the lab, Fleming Scholars attended lectures by OMRF scientists to learn about diverse research projects and science-related career options.

They attended social events and spent time as a group outside the lab.

As summer scholars, the students took part in individual research projects under the direction of senior-level scientists.

Heritage Hall alum Winston

Scambler has had the opportunity to work with in-demand CRISPR gene editing techniques and said this summer has afforded him a unique and challenging experience.

“The best part has been the complete immersion into a formal lab setting. I’ve never learned so much in such a short period, and I have loved every minute of it,” said Scambler, who will be a freshman at the University of Oklahoma this fall.

Scholar projects covered a wide range of areas from autoimmune disease to cancer, osteoarthritis, cell biology, heart disease and addiction.

OMRF’s Fleming Scholar Program has served as a launching pad for hundreds of Oklahoma students seeking science-based careers.

Run For Hope OKC, run to honor a loved one American Cancer Society of Oklahoma leads the fight for a world without cancer through the Run For Hope event.

The Oklahoma American Cancer Society welcomes runners, walkers and volunteers to the inaugural Run For Hope OKC on Sat., Aug. 25. It is being held at the Oklahoma Health Center on the OU Health Sciences campus. The run begins at 8 a.m., with registration at 6:30 a.m.

“For our inaugural ‘Run For Hope,’ we are focused on providing the best expe-

rience for both serious runners and casual walkers,” said Lesa Foster, ACS Executive Director. “This fun run, 5K and 10K will give supporters a chance to walk/run in honor or memory of a loved one who has battled any diagnosis of cancer. This family-friendly event will have something for everyone so we hope everyone will come out and join us as we work toward a

cancer-free generation.”

The American Cancer Society is fighting cancer on every front, standing shoulder to shoulder with cancer patients and those supporting them. Funds raised help the American Cancer Society attack cancer in dozens of ways, each of them critical to achieving a world without cancer – from developing breakthrough therapies to building supportive communities, from providing empowering resources to deploying

activists to raise awareness.

“I had a young family, I had young kids when I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer,” said survivor James Bost. “That’s one of the deadliest forms of cancer, and it’s one of the most difficult to treat. That’s why it is so important to support organizations like American Cancer Society. They have such great outreach and support services, and your donations also support research and funding. That is vital to finding a cure for

cancer.”

In addition to the support of the community, Run For Hope OKC is also supported by many local businesses and organizations.

This year’s sponsors include: Homeland, Cancer Treatment Centers of America, GE Johnson Construction Co., ProCure and W&W/Afco Steel.

Together, we can beat our biggest rival. Join or donate to the Run For Hope of Oklahoma City. For additional information or to register, visit RunForHopeOKC .org

Grace Bible Church Congregation is commited to unity, fellowship Grace Bible Church, 10301 Lakeside Drive, is composed of those who come together to visibly express their invisible union with Christ.

This expression is evidenced by the exposition of the Word of God, a spiritual bond of unity and fellowship, the exercise of spiritual gifts, the partaking of the sacraments, prayer and evangelism.

Upon graduating from Dallas Theological Seminary in 1978, Philip G. Bowersox moved to Oklahoma City to plant a church in the Reformed tradition with a key emphasis on biblical exposition. He was ordained as a teaching elder.

The church started in a bail bond office in downtown Oklahoma City with the smells of cigarette smoke and alcohol which were a weekly reminder of the need for God’s saving grace to be shared. The meeting place was the generous provision of a local businessman. It was free, and Oklahoma City is not a place where Reformed theology and covenant theology were well received. Philip Bowersox balanced three careers to sustain the ministry: US Army Reserves, business and the church.

After several years, the church was able to afford conference rooms at a local motel.

After several more years, it was able to rent commercial

office space as a meeting place, and displaced to a larger complex some five years later. Jay Bruce was ordained as a ruling elder.

In 2014, Queen of Angels Catholic Church came on the market and was purchased by Grace Bible Church. Queen of Angels was a pre-Vatican II independent Catholic Church.

The sanctuary was completed in 1990 and a parsonage a year or so later. The priest was retiring and had the desire that another church acquire the property. Despite the commitment to Reformed Theology, Grace Bible Church met that requirement. The transaction was closed in the late summer.

Renovations began immediately to remove confessionals, turn the sacristy into an office, and bring in new pews and pulpit along with other cosmetic changes. The parsonage was transformed into Sunday School rooms and a nursery.

The church also retained the cry room in the back of the Sanctuary for families with young children. Some windows in the sanctuary and parson-

age were displaced upon purchase of the building as they were not consistent with Protestant theology along with a removal of a statue of Mary.

In 2017, planning began to transform the garage into an additional Sunday School room and to renovate the balcony to incorporate additional seating due to growing attendance.

There are plans to increase the size of the current parking lot in 2018.

The purpose of this community of faith is to glorify God and to present every man complete in Christ. The government of this church is entrusted to a plurality of elders, who rule by means of the Word of God. The teaching elder is Phil Bowersox, a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary. The ruling elders are Jay Bruce, Reformed Theological Seminary, and Ronnie Andrews, Landmark Baptist College.

Sunday morning service times are Sunday School at 9:45 a.m. and Worship Service 11 a.m.

Lyric tops off Civic Center season with a smash hit, ‘Mamma Mia.’

I

n a year which began with “Freaky Friday,” rose to new heights in costuming, staging and

showmanship, with “Hello Dolly,” Lyric Theatre of Oklahoma City finished its summer scene with performances of “Mama Mia,”which had the packed house dancing in the aisles.

Meredith Inglesby, of Broadway fame, starred as Donna. She had the moves and voice to lead hilarious co-stars Renee Anderson (Rosie) and Barb Schoenhoffer (Tanya) through the hit songs by “Abba” through the wildly improbable tale. Sidesplitting laughter and rocking in their seats to the beat, the audience loved it.

Congrats to Michael Baron, Producing Artistic Director, Ashley Wells, Associate Artistic Director, Costume Designer Jeffrey Meek and the whole Lyric staff on a sensational job.

The OKC Phil’s new music director Alexander Mickelthwate will lead the orchestra in the pit for some of next summer, which will feature “Singin’ in the Rain,” “Newsies,” and “Titanic.”

If you aren’t summer season subscribers, you are missing Broadway quality shows.

Going on the road again, this time to Namibia, Africa

e always lived with the credo we would rather see places than own things.

So much world, so little time to see it all.

Leland and I were married on November 24th, which happened to be Thanksgiving eve in 1976.

The Thanksgiving eve part was the only thing that stuck in Leland’s head. If it was Thanksgiving, it must be our anniversary.

This eventually evolved into taking a trip almost every year around our anniversary date.

I planned the trips and Leland stipulated only that: #1, I didn’t bankrupt him; and #2, every other year would be his year and we would travel to New York City, eat at the Four Seasons and see at least two Broadway shows.

My passion for wildlife (as long as it is fuzzy and has big eyes) usually landed us in the jungle or on safari in the “Vicki years” as he called them. This led to Leland

In MY Opinion by VICKI CLARK GOURLEY vicki@okcfriday.com

quickly adding a third rule, “We have to have a flush toilet.”

His years on the ground during WWII took care of all the camping he ever wanted to do.

One “Vicki year” we traveled to Venezuela. I wanted to see the animals unique to the rain forrest and cloud forrest. He thought that was dumb.

“It’s either raining or there are clouds and you can’t see the animals anyway.”

We had a flush toilet, but it didn’t work very well. He said I was cheating.

It was during the election year when Hugo Chavez captured the presidency.

Leland loved Caracas and engaging cab drivers and

locals about the candidates.

He loved anyone’s politics.

Another year, we went to Peru.

He grudgingly climbed Machu Picchu, but thought the Nazca lines were the most significant historical mystery he had ever seen. We had to take the flight twice for him to get his fill. OSU beat OU at Owen Field that year, so it was a good day for both of us.

Then I took him on a three-day boat trip up the Amazon to finish off that trip. It almost finished off the “Vicki years.”

“There’s no wall on the jungle side of this room,” he roared.

“And there’s no electricity. I am going to freeze to death here, and there is no hot water” “But it has a flush toilet,” I replied.

We went to New York the next few years.

I continue to live that way and I’m off to Namibia to record the Langston University project at CCF.

The old board met with the new board to conduct a business meeting and to pass on the presidency to the incoming president, Bonnie Green.

The outgoing president, Sue Francis was presented with a beautiful large glass blown bowl with the ripple effect.

The refreshments served were marbled cheese cakes, brownies, lemon bars along with some cookie choices on a beautiful table cloth with matching napkins. Beverages were provided too.

When improving curb appeal, don’t overlook hardscaping Curb appeal is beneficial in various ways. Curb appeal can make a home more attractive to prospective buyers and give existing homeowners a place they want to come home to.

In its study of the worth of outdoor remodeling projects, the National Association of Realtors found standard lawn care and overall landscape upgrades were most appealing to buyers, as well as the most likely to add value to a home.

Although plants, grass and other items can improve curb appeal, home-

owners should not overlook hardscaping.

Hardscaping is an industry term that refers to the non-living features of a landscape. These features can include everything from decks to walkways to ornamental boulders.

Introducing paths or paver walls to a property helps develop that home’s hardscape. Hardscape and soft elements often work in concert to create inspiring landscape designs.

• Choose materials.

Common hardscape features include patios, decks,

walkways of pavers or bricks, and retaining walls.

Hardscape elements can be functional or simply decorative features that add whimsy to the yard.

• Choose a theme. The right style allows hardscaping and softscaping materials to work together. For example, homeowners may want to give their yards an eastern feel, complete with a koi pond and decorative bridge or trellis. A formal English garden, however, may include manicured paths with stepping stones and ornate topiaries. Mix-

ing too many styles together can take away from the overall appeal.

• Think about the purpose. Hardscaping can look good but also serve key purposes. Pebbles or gravel can mitigate trouble areas that don’t grow grass or plant life well. Retaining walls hold back soil in yards with sharply inclined hills.

Mulch can set perimeters around trees and shrubs, as well as planting beds. Fencing, another form of hardscaping, is essential for establishing property boundaries and adding privacy.

• Consult a professional. While many hardscaping additions can be handled by novices, largescale projects, such as patios and decking, can change the grading of the yard. Professionals can map out how to handle drainage issues and meet building codes. In addition, professional installation can ensure hardscaping features last for years to come.

Hardscaping should blend with the nature around it and take its cues from the surrounding environment.

Traveling along with the European Competitours I

mbued with superpowers, on the busy streets of Copenhagen, I turned my three team-mates into chest-thumping, growling gorillas.

This, to the amazement of passing cars and pedestrians. My wizardry was a video in response to an item on our Scavenger hunt during a European Competitours challenge.

(Look it up) Twenty-five people strong with only “Whatsapp” knowledge of one another, we convened from various U.S. states, in Brussels, Belgium.

With limited luggage, great enthusiasm, a strain of wacky running through all of us and a spirit of adventure, we met for the first time.

We knew nothing about our proposed travels other than a grid of countries which was an odd geometric shape from Oslo to Vienna, the boot of Italy, to Lisbon and back to Oslo.

We surmised we’d find ourselves somewhere within that while constantly changing over 12 days.

Our world-traveler leader, Steve Belkin, of wicked smart mind, romping humor and devious planning, extruded us through this mind-blowing adventure. For photo opportunities we made paper hats from napkins we filched from vendors, borrowed bicycles from strangers, videoed our teammates doing scenes from favorite movies, and were generally silly!

Hitting Copenhagen and Legoland, our passes allowed us to line-jump.

Motion was key as our first task was to hop aboard the wildly spinning tea cup ride and within that nauseating rotation to assemble a race

car from the pieces in our Lego package.

Husband Jerry and I managed (1.)

Not to regurgitate breakfast, (2.) to build a chassis – but no wheels. Completing tasks, we ran back to our individual game boards adding Lego pieces as we solved riddles, challenges and puzzles. Imagine the planning for this as we rode up towers that rotated and spanned the park, so we could find clues on roof tops to add to our puzzle boards.

We piloted a race car with a cup of water on the hood around a course full of hazards, as the team with highest volume of water left, won. We rode roller coasters, put out fires with the water we didn’t spill atop our fire trucks, and found letters in a fun house of mirrors to assemble for our game boards.

Two of our 12 teams were dad and son, one mom and son team, two women comprised another and parents and their daughter, another. The rest of the teams were male and female. Ages ranged from 12 to 77.

Prize money was to be won, but that was secondary to the goal of unique experiences, billed as “rivalry during the day, and revelry at night.”

Transportation included planes, trains, tightropes, automobiles, busses, ferries and our feet.

Not until entirely necessary did we know the next destination, or mode of travel. Always gathering for fun, our group always used

our limited minutes of down time to play.

Google Translator showed us that a cup of coffee listed on the menu on the car/bus ferry was the same price as a “bathrobe” – also listed for breakfast. Yummy, love the taste of terrycloth.

Next challenge was a six-acre labyrinth full of twisty multipath trails through 40-foot tall trees, scrub brush, and capturing proof that we’d found seven stated objects. Coming to a dead end would generate a question which could be literary, sports memorabilia, geography, or as frustrating as, “On the Cap’N Crunch cereal box, does he wear a gun or a sword in his sash? or “Which twin was born first MaryKate or Ashley?” A wrong answer would send you right when you should have gone left, and it was often five clues later that it was discovered you were wrong and had to backtrack four trails and questions.

While I was busy with another challenge, husband Jerry went careening down a series of mountainous hills in a ZORB – that human inflatable bumper bubble.

He then did a duo bubble with a darling female team mate.

When I found them, they were green-ish, but laughing, and gasped out, “Glad I did it once, but don’t need to – etc. etc.”

The “I Fly” wind tunnel cylinder was intimidating, and especially so as my step onto the platform coincided with another team member coming off with her arm in a sling, the result of a dislocated shoulder. Our challenge here was to learn how to fly, to control our bodies, and then maneuver to hit targets on the side of the tube.

Making like artist/architect Gaudi are Joy and Jerry Richardson in Barcelona, Spain.

Apparently, we each, in four sessions, had flown the equivalent of nine skydives.

Flopping around like a manic halibut, I managed to hit about half-dozen targets, while a Mr. Smarty Pants hit 99 – that was not my husband.

Our sneaky leader left hints just to confuse us, as once we were planning a shopping trip in Rome – and found myself in Barcelona – dancing the Flamenco. My resemblance to the above halibut gives a mind picture of my skill set at that dance.

Sleek and physically perfect, our instructors kept their eye rolling to a minimum as we careened around the dance floor trying to emulate their moves.

That Flamenco requires smoldering eye contact was lost on us; just not injuring someone else was high on our list. We learned, we practiced, we costumed with hats, flowers and fans - and we performed. Miserably. The Macarena free-form was our best effort with a swish of rock n’ roll, Olympic gymnastics, Polka and Mashed Potato tossed in.

More ridiculous activity in the next column, are you game?

Made entirely of chocolate, hand colored, cut and fashioned — our pride and joy during major sweetsart classes.

Yes, a giant bumping bubble is eating Jerry Richardson and then he got to roll down a mountain in it.
