Filing period for the next general election to fill council seats for Wards 1, 2 and 3 is Feb. 1-3, 2023, with general elections set for the first Tuesday of April. City officials anticipate increased interest in this election.Wilkinson was tapped to fill the unexpired seat of former Mayor Adam Graham last month. His term as mayor expires May 2023. He said he plans to work with the council at that time about continuing to serve as mayor and make a decision that makes the best sense for the city.

and emails from numerous people expressing their desire to be appointed to the vacant seat,” said Wilkinson. The council is set to consider those seeking the appointment at its next meeting “I anticipate we’ll get close to a decision at that time and vote to appoint someone,” he said. “From there we’ll get them sworn in at the next meeting or during a special meeting in between.” Wilkinson expressed his wish to appoint someone who has no desire to run for City Council in the next general election, for the vacant seat or any other seat.“That may sound a little counter intuitive, but my reasoning is that should someone be appointed who could run as an incumbent will almost certainly have a huge advantage in whatever campaign may arise,” he added. “I’d like the council to stay out of the politics of that. Ward 3 needs to organically produce a candidate or candidates and the whole city will vote in April 2023 to fill that seat.”

We know Amy has a huge fan base in Oklahoma and we hope to see them all there.” said Dee Llanusa, Director of Marketing and Sales, Civic Center Foundation. “It is the perfect size venue to treat Amy’s fans to a slightly more intimate audience experience. Part of the mission of the Civic Center Foundation is to present a variety of programming in our community!” said Elizabeth Gray, Executive Director, Civic Center MusicAmyHall.Grant’s career spans more than 40 years and stretches from her roots in gospel into becoming an iconic pop star, songwriter, television personality and philanthropist. With three multi-platinum albums, six platinum albums and four gold albums, her total career album sales have exceeded 30 million and over 1 billion global streams. Grant’s chart success has been consistent throughout her career with six No. 1 hits, 10 Top 40 pop singles, 17 Top 40 Adult Contemporary tracks and multiple Contemporary Christian chart-toppers. In addition to her six Grammy® Awards, Grant has earned 26 Dove Awards (including four Artist of the Year Awards) and has been awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame as well as the Music City Walk of Fame and the Nashville Songwriter’s Hall of ConventionalFame.wisdom has it that Grant put Contemporary Christian Music on the map, becoming the first Contemporary Christian artist to have a platinum record, the first to hit No. 1 on the Pop charts, and the first to perform at the Grammy® Awards. With that, her legacy as one of the most influential artists of the past four decades is assured. In April of 2016, Grant celebrated the 25th anniversary of her iconic hit Baby Baby with a worldwide release of the song featuring pop sensation Tori Kelly. Tennessee Christmas was released in late 2016 and marked Grant’s first all-new holiday album in nearly 20 years. Last February, The T.J. Martell Foundation – the music industry’s leading nonprofit to fund innovative medical research focused on treatments and cures for cancer – honored Grant with the Tony Martell Outstanding Entertainment Achievement Award at their 2020 Honors Gala. 2021 found Grant celebrating her iconic, 5x platinum album, Heart In Motion, releasing a double disc 35th Anniversary Edition that included never-before released tracks and updated remixes of the hit singles. 2022 promises to be a busy year with touring as well as a new single release, a cover of the classic song Put A Little Love in Your Heart which closes out Amy’s current shows. Additionally, 2022 marks the anniversaries of her platinum-selling classic “Age To Age” album and the gold-selling Behind The Eyes album. MovieMaker magazine.

Portrait of an WomanUnknown By Daniel Silva Daniel Silva’s newest thriller Portrait of an Unknown Woman has hit the bookstores. This is his 25th book and it is headed for the best seller list already. The place, time and crimes may change, but Silva always turns out a masterpiece. This one involves Gabriel Allon the noted Israeli intelligence spy who has finally left his dangerous and violent past and settled in Venice with his wife Chiara and two children, Irene and Raphael. Enter London art dealer Julian Isherwood who convinces Gabriel he should help him identify a criminal involved with forgery, theft and money laundering. It quickly involves drug rings, beautiful women and a Ponzi scheme, journalists and connoisseurs of Italian Old Masters. Art dealers, brokers, experts join in. What seems to bring them all together is that everyone has access to millions of dollars and for years there has been a growing history of wealthy buyers who continue to thrive on the art world gold mine for crooks. These people continue to get wealthy over sale of reproductions of 17th and 18th Century art which already has a history of turning into a multimillion-dollar gold mine for collectors. Recognized as the premier art expert and as a painter himself, Gabriel slowly moves back into finding this threat to the art world without revealing his own part in its solving. He does not pursue answers alone and involves New York and European experts, law enforcers, FBI, art forgers so skilled that experts in museums and shops from the Louvre to the J. Paul Getty Museum are unsure of real from fake in several
