Village Lions Club Car Show rolls into Duffner Park Saturday By Rose Lane Editor
Her summer internship at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation provided Kate Walker a glimpse into the sea of change that followed – an 800mile move to college. Walker, a 2022 graduate of Heritage Hall High School, was part of OMRF’s 66th class of Fleming Scholars. She worked in the lab of OMRF Vice President of Clinical Affairs Judith James, M.D., Ph.D., investigating how people with the autoimmune disease lupus react to Covid-19 vaccination. “I knew how to work independently,” Walker said, “but this experience has really taught me how to adapt to new situations and how to problem-solve on my own. Beyond that, this is real-world experience; it’s not just something you turn in for a grade. My work here might actually be used.”

Two days after her internship ended, Walker flew to Madison, Wisc., for freshman orientation at the University of Wisconsin, where she plans to major in neurobiology and Spanish. She hopes to incorporate research into a career as a pediatrician.Walker’s summer lab experiments didn’t always go as smoothly as she’d hoped, and that was a good lesson about medical research, said her OMRF mentor, Ken Smith, Ph.D.“Two-month projects are always a bit challenging, because in science, you don’t often see results that quickly,” SmithThesaid.Fleming Scholar program is named for Sir Alexander Fleming, the British scientist who discovered penicillin and in 1949 came to Oklahoma City to dedicate OMRF’s first building.

City Manager Bruce Stone shared the city’s current ordinance on home sharing adopted by the council in July 2021.
The council heard complaints ranging from congested residential streets to loud late-night parties from some while others took the podium to tout the benefits short term rental properties can bring to the city like increased revenues from sales tax, hotel/motel taxes and fees.“We like regulations,” said Eric Casper, community volunteer for Airbnb Oklahoma City. “We want to keep bad hosts out – we want the bad apples out. We’re just small business owners trying to make a living.”

“I looked at our sales tax collections for the first five months of 2022 and see that Airbnb contributes, on an annualized basis, somewhere in the range of $30,000 in sales taxes,” he told the council. Stone told the council that Oklahoma City levies a 5.5% hotel/motel tax on their home share property owners, which if adopted by voters in The Village would, “likely more than double annual revenues from home sharing operations.”TheVillage currently charges an initial $75 home sharing license fee with a $25 annual renewable fee. It has never had a hotel/motel tax no hotels or motels operate within city limits.Stone said a hotel/motel tax has been discussed and, “it seems that the council is open to putting the questions to the voters, who must vote to approve such a tax.”

Short term rental properties proved to be a hot topic of discussion at last week’s Village City Council meeting. Dozens of citizens filled the council chamber both for and against short term rental properties in the city. Many had attended the overflowing Town Hall Meeting earlier this month at The Village Library hosted by Ward 4 Councilman Sean Cummings and Donna Rice Johnson.

A short program is to include videos highlighting the stories of three VillagesOKC members and how membership in the nonprofit has impacted their lives, including two members who met and married. Two members tell how VillagesOKC connected them with NewView Oklahoma, who provides them with low-vision assistance.
The event includes a plated meal from Rococo. Lance Ward, congregational care pastor at Crossings Community Church, is set to keep the festivities moving. New member Angel Meyer is creating fabulous table decorations you will want to take home. The event begins at 6 p.m.“We expect 120 people – 15 tables of eight,” Olson said. “Many tables are sponsored by businesses; other tables are sponsored by individuals who want to honor the story of an influential elder in their life. For example, one member is honoring the story of “Grandmother Robbins – Who Taught Me to Fish.”Reservations may be made at villagesokc.org or by calling (405) 990-6637.

“Oklahoma City’s tax is 5.5 percent in addition to licensing fees and sales tax,” he said. “So, Oklahoma City gets 10.672 percent on home sharing sales (motel tax plus sales tax).”While The Village has only six licensed home sharing properties, officials believe there could be as many as 40-100 total properties currently operating within city limits. “This number comes from searches on social media, Google, etc.,” said Stone. “Usually, no addresses are given, but there are pictures of the inside and outside of the houses, so with some detective work the addresses could be figuredMayorout.”Sonny Wilkinson is not surprised to learn there could be as many as 100 short term rental properties within the city limits. “The fact there are so many proves that we have an issue with the code we passed last year that we need to revisit,” said Wilkinson. “That number also demonstrates that they really aren’t a disruption problem. This whole debate was brought up because of one Facebook post about one house. “One disruptive house isn’t going to ruin the businesses that others have established that aren’t causing problems for neighbors.”Councilman Sean Cummings wants to send a letter to those operating unlicensed short term rental properties stating that they are out of compliance with city ordinances. “I’ve counted 47 short term rentals in The Village on various websites,” said Cummings. “Let’s give them 30 days to pay up and get a license or they’re done.”The city is working to gather a list of unlicensed home sharing properties.
to celebrate fourth anniversary
VILLAGEFromPage1VillagesOKC
VillagesOKC, a membership based organization which connects the metro Oklahoma City aging community to resources and each other, is celebrating its fourth anniversary with the theme “Everybody Has a Story.” “This is a milestone year, and we are celebrating in a big way,” said Executive Director Marilyn Olson. “Sept. 9 at the Oklahoma History Center will be an inspiring event you don’t want to miss.”
NewView is just one of the VillagesOKC partners as they execute their plan for aging that connects a community. They also support Senior Living Truth Series, a monthly free seminar series which intends to educate, equip and empower older adults, as well as other area services which focus on seniors“With this year’s theme ‘Everybody Has A Story,’ it is fitting that the evening is held at the beautiful center filled with many fabulous Oklahoma stories – where last March we pinned 350 Vietnam War Era Veterans and heard their stories,” Olson said. “There will be plenty of time for meeting, conversation filled with stories, photos and touring the Oklahoma History Center exhibits.”

“And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32 (quoting Jesus).
From the wonderful people I worked with to all the projects I worked on, it really feels like I experienced what the heart of Oklahoma is. With this in mind, I hope to carry all I learned and experienced with me into my last year of college and into my career path. To everyone at OKC FRIDAY, you have all been a light and a joy to work. You have made me feel welcome and comforted as I transition into looking for a real career. Thank you all for being the community I never knew I was looking for. Thanks to OKC FRIDAY, I have learned how important community is to any newspaper, no matter the size.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” Edmund Burke paraphrase, 1767. If you want it in the paper, it’s advertising. If you don’t want it in the paper, it’s news.” Ancient Chinese Proverb “Without, or with, offense to friends or foes, We sketch your world exactly as it goes.” – Byron, 1818. “Every violation of truth is a stab at the health of human society.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1878. “We must always stand – alone if necessary – as the conscience of this community.” – J. Leland Gourley, 1959. FRIDAY, PO BOX 20340, OKC, OK 73156
By Rachel Dallalio Student Intern Heading into my internship with OKC FRIDAY, I had no idea what to expect. I had never heard of it before but I knew I wanted a real-world journalism experience compared to my college newspaper. I have lived in Oklahoma for 10 years and I feel like I only just had the opportunity to discover the Oklahoma City area. This area is rich with community, art and education which I never imagined could be buried in this great city. This experience is all thanks to writing for OKC FRIDAY. I thought I would be more of a secretary and do small things here and there but it became so much more. It has been such a joy to meet and talk with the variety of people I had the chance of writing about. This internship allowed me to realize how much I enjoy hearing people’s stories and how I have the capability to share those stories with others who may need to hear them. College is great for preparation in facing the real world, but there is nothing compared to the experience of hands-on learning. This internship reignited my passion for journalism and I truly plan to use everything I learned in my future career path.
