By Eric Oesch Staff Writer A boisterous crowd of concerned citizens packed The Village Library for a Town Hall meeting last week to discuss short term rentals which are popping up in The Village.Village councilman Sean Cummings and House District 83 candidate Donna Rice Johnson navigated a raucous crowd during what they termed a “fact finding mission” to gather residents’ concerns about these properties to bring before the City Council.Cummings defeated Rice for the Ward 4 council seat last year, but the pair pledged to work together after the election on issues facing their neighbors. Both Cummings and Rice have received complaints about an airbnb on Ridgeview Drive that neighborhood residents claim has become a nuisance. “So I threw the idea out that we should do a Town Hall,” said Cummings. “Donna has been with me at every Town Hall so far. “This is a hot social media topic in The Village right now,” he said. “The attendance has been good at every TownComplaintsHall.” of loud parties, people roaming the streets late at night, congested streets of parked cars and the issue of not knowing who is occupying the “house next door” were some of the top concerns addressed.

City leaders in Nichols Hills are concerned about the number of homes being razed to make room for new construction. To combat this trend, the City Council has embarked upon a mission to identify and list the homes that make the Oklahoma City suburb of nearly 4,000 residents unique to the state. When Nichols Hills Building Commission members addressed the City Council last week, they presented a list of homes they have designated as Architectural Resources in Nichols Hills. They describe these homes as “buildings that possess significant local interest or significant artistic or architectural merit important to the city’s history.” The city estimates it receives as many as three applications a month to tear down homes some consider historic. Topping the proposed preliminary list of architectural resources in Nichols Hills are some very familiar homes and some not so familiar. Those homes most familiar with the public include the See NHILLS, Page 5

The runner up was City Silence, a tour of the bombedout ruins in Kyiv, Ukraine. Both used the aerial format to explore what could not be seen first-hand by humans. Both made global tragedies feel immediate and personal.Thankfully, the majority of drone films are less intense and more exciting.

Killers of the Flower Moon swept the literary world upon its publication in 2017 as a shocking, dramatic true story of murder and injustice against a Native American tribe in northeastern Oklahoma. In the 1920s, Osage Nation citizens became some of the wealthiest people in the world after oil reserves were discovered in the territory on which they were forcefully relocated years before. Subsequent brutal killings followed, which became known as the “Reign of Terror,” as Osage citizens were murdered to obtain control of their wealth.Inhis lecture, Grann will illuminate how the struggle for Native American rights extends from the first contact with whites to the present day with Standing Rock. Grann highlights the saga of the Osage and documents how one of the most sinister crimes in American history connects to Native Americans’ current fight to control their land and resources. Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI spent more than 30 weeks on The New York Times nonfiction bestseller list, was a finalist for the National Book Award, and ranked #1 on Amazon’s Single Best Books of the Year. The film adaptation is now in production with Martin Scorsese as director and starring Leonardo DiCaprio.Thispresentation is free and open to the public.

His appetite for such wealth grows as he is exposed to the benefits and perks of being rich. The road is slippery and he meets those who are trying to get to the same pinnacle, women and men, all talented and sporting various degrees of greed.The goal is high, but Travis is willing to live in the suburbs, work out at five in the morning and catch the 6:20 a.m. as he joins the other commuters every day. Each one with a mind set on success and fame. One morning the journey is interrupted with the news of the death of a coworker. There follows a succession of shocks, murders, suicides, occurrencesschemesfinancialandrottenthatbeg to be solved before the train comes to a stop and the world returns to Thisnormalcy.isafast-moving train and there are many challenges that meet these financial wizards who are now involved in the NYPD, crook and every other kind of danger that has ever roamed the pages of a mystery that is frightening for many reasons, not the least of them being that anything like this could happen in New York, or could happen anywhere.Hats off to Baldacci for the exposure into yet another haunting and gut wrenching 84 chapters of the unknown terrors of life and loves of the young wannabees.adventuresomeThankstoFull Circle Book Store for sharing books with FRIDAY Readers.

Everybody Should Be ‘Growth’ Advocates Reprinted from OKC FRIDAY, Friday, November 2, 2007
By J. LELAND•••••GOURLEY Growth is described in dictionaries with words like develop, increase, thrive, flourish, upward. In practical terms, think of growth as striving to do, and get, better. To improve!Inthese times of argumentation, growth has become politically controversial.Business and economic interests have quit using “business friendly” and switched to “pro-growth” Good growth helps all. I agree whole-heartedly that we need legislators, and government, that are pro-growth (interpreted ‘good’ growth, specifically economic growth).Favoring good growth is admirable. Growth in knowledge, growth in tolerance, growth in compassion, growth in wisdom, growth in enterprise, growth in kindness, growth in spirit. Growth in the economy helps everybody. More jobs, more opportunity, more philanthropy, less poverty, less suffering, less going to bedStrangely,hungry. there are folks who disagree. To some, any and all change is bad. They claim to like the status quo. Don’t change. Continue to tolerate hunger, joblessness, low living standards and ignorance for many. One of the best good growths is job growth. More jobs being available, helps everybody in general society.That’s why all the effort to get government more attuned to job growth is so important. There are things government can do to encourage job growth and other things they can do to stop hindrance to job growth. Oklahoma government has done some good things to encourage the jobOurcreators.state’s Quality Jobs incentive law is one of those. Right to work is another. Our state technical education program is a major plus to assist job creators. Comparatively low property taxes help. But to stay competitive with other states in getting more jobs created here, there are changes that can, and should, be made. A couple of those would be meaningful lawsuit and workers compensation reforms, and lower personal income taxes. There are two things average citizens can do to help gain better economicMakegrowth.campaign gifts to progrowth candidates and, if unable to do that, be sure to vote for progrowth candidates.

A: A 2013 Gallup indicates people tend to be happy in their 20s before a low in late 30s and 40s, returning to happiness in their early 50s. Why? After 50 people begin to know who they are and what they want to be. Experience chooses the long view, “smile, we will get through this” and “you will make it.” Even the graph of this data looks like a smile. - Brought to you by the Villages OKC
