Investors give a hoot, step up to renovate old Owl Court
Owl Court was a motel built by William Quats Sr. in about 1930 as the Quats Inn, state historical records indicate. A companion café and gas station were added later. An environmental evaluation of the property was performed to determine whether the site was contaminated from the service station; the analysis showed that the station’s two underground fuel tanks were still intact and the dirt is not polluted.
By Mike W. Ray Staff Writer A group of investors has purchased and is renovating one of Oklahoma City’s oldest surviving Route 66 motels from the 1930s: Owl Court, in Old Britton. The six-member investment group bought the old motel from John Dunning in February. Dunning saved the corner from being demolished and cleared for a car lot in 2006, but was unable to renovate the landmark site. Twelve years later, the property was listed on Oklahoma City’s delinquent and abandoned property list and was on the brink of demolition when Owl Court LLC rescued it. A shack and a couple of other derelict buildings on the site were so dilapidated they had to be demolished. Nevertheless, K&M Wrecking Co. of Oklahoma City managed to salvage native stone from the buildings which will be recycled for ornamental use in the new

Police alerted when child takes ride in a stroller in a truck bed By Mike W. Ray Staff Writer Police in The Village were notified of an endangered infant, an expensive case of shoplifting and an unusual incident of vandalism. The Police Department was alerted when a pickup traveling north on Pennsylvania Avenue near Britton Road was seen transporting a child who was in a stroller that was in the bed of the truck. The complainant didn’t notice the tag and the vehicle was gone by the time
police arrived on the scene. A suspected shoplifter’s appetite will cost him dearly. The manager at a convenience store in the 10800 block of N. May Avenue reported that a customer stole three breakfast sandwiches and a bottle of milk. The suspect was located by The Village police, identified by the store manager and issued a citation to appear in municipal court. The food items allegedly stolen by the 64-year-old Midwest City See POLICE, Page 3

Stonework from decrepit buildings that were demolished recently will be recycled for ornamental use in new structures envisioned in the Owl Court restoration project. Above: Owl Court, at 742 W. Britton Road, is east of Western Avenue, in Old Britton, which previously was its own community before the town’s residents voted in 1950 to merge with Oklahoma City. The motel was built soon after the corner of Classen Boulevard and Britton Road was designated as a Route 66 bypass around Oklahoma City. At left: The building at Owl Court that formerly housed motel rooms is being converted into four retail/office units that will be called “The Courts.”

structures envisioned in the restoration project. “The first thing we had to do was stabilize” the building that housed former motel rooms, said Marc Weinmeister, managing member of Owl Court LLC. New trusses purchased in Checotah were installed, the building was reroofed and a portico was added. Water-damaged furniture, magazines and old newspapers, and lots of miscellaneous junk, were piled throughout the building and had to be discarded. Trees growing along the front of the structure were cut down. Floors throughout the building will have to be leveled, which will require several yards of concrete; the entire building will have to be rewired and replumbed; and a parking area will have to be prepared. The building, which the owners have dubbed “The Courts,” will be converted into four retail/office spaces: two units of 347-squarefeet each, one of 495-square-feet and one unit of 706-square-feet. The new owners hope to have it ready for occupancy later this year and are in negotiations with prospective tenants. Also, new fencing will be installed around the perimeter of the property. The fate of a metal storage building on the site, which at one time served as a welding shop, hasn’t been decided yet. A bare patch of ground in the middle of the property eventually may be developed into a multistory, multi-use building, Weinmeister said. “We’re dreaming that part up as we go along.” Also, the original Owl Courts office building on the northwest corner of the lot is set to be renovated, “but at least for now the
pitched roof isn’t leaking,” Weinmeister said. The tiny building encompasses approximately 250300 square feet. Inside is a small restroom – “definitely not ADA compliant” – and a small loft overhead. The interior walls have old wood paneling. A painted owl from the original Owl Court motel is still visible on the west side exterior wall of the office, but a faded metal CocaCola sign on that wall that advertised the Owl Courts was stolen sometime within the past three years. However, the previous owner, Dunning, found another metal “Drink Coca-Cola” sign which Weinmeister said will be restored and installed on the west side wall to replace the missing sign. “So far we’ve financed our restoration efforts from our own pockets because we’ve had enough cash among the six of us,” Weinmeister said. But as the project progresses, “We’ll have to borrow some money.” The income stream from the first phase of the renovation project, “The Courts,” will help finance rehabilitation of the small office building and perhaps construction of the proposed multi-use building, too, Weinmeister said. “We intend to comply with as much of the city code as we can, but we probably will have to apply for one or more variances,” Weinmeister said, “because we’re rehabilitating a property that was built nearly 90 years ago when code requirements were virtually non-existent.” The Britton District has yet to be formalized with the City of Oklahoma City, “but when that happens, zoning changes probably will be made that will allow the district to be developed more like an old town,” Weinmeister said. “This has been done in other areas of Oklahoma City with great success,” he said, pointing to the Paseo, the Plaza District, Midtown, Film Row and Deep Deuce.

A business in The Village was trashed recently by four males, although nothing was reported stolen, police were told. “They made a mess,” jerking items off the shelves and dumping them onto the floor, a clerk at a convenience store at Hefner Road and Pennsylvania Avenue told police. The vandals fled the scene and no arrests have been made.
Cattle Baron’s Ball helps fight cancer The Oklahoma American Cancer Society hosts the 16th annual Cattle Baron’s Ball at 6 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 15 at the Historic Farmer’s Public Market, 311 S Klein Ave. in Oklahoma City. The evening’s festivities include: dinner, drinks, games, dancing to bluegrass and western swing music from Kyle Dillingham & Horseshoe Road, and both a luxury live and silent auction. Single tickets are $250; table sponsorships are available for an eight-top at $2,000 and 10-top at $2,500. Rachel Stratton, development manager of distinguished events for the American Cancer Society, said the Society asks central Oklahoma businesses to join other community leaders and executives in sponsoring a table in honor of a cancer warrior who works at or is close to their organization. “Cancer is the second leading cause of death in our state,
with 49 Oklahomans diagnosed every day. Nearly everyone knows someone directly affected by the disease, so let’s use this opportunity to lift them up and raise money to help find a cure,” said Stratton. “During the event, a special ceremony will be held to recognize all honorees.” The society funds research for a cure and also serves as a primary support resource for cancer patients. This includes operating a 24-hour hotline (1800-227-2345), rides to and from treatment in the Road to Recovery program, as well as free or reduced-cost lodging, and help managing appearance-related side effects of treatment. This year’s Cattle Baron’s Ball speaker, Talia Lane, was diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma in 2004. She has been in remission for 14 years. Lane credited the society with helping her beat cancer and for giving her a platform to empower others battling the
disease. “The American Cancer Society has been the biggest support and volunteer group for me since finishing my treatment,” Lane said. “The whole experience has allowed me to help raise money for the Society and bond with other cancer survivors. It is so great knowing that current and future cancer patients will have so much help and support through the society.” To sponsor a table or purchase individual tickets, visit www.cattlebaronsballokc.org or email rachel.stratton@ cancer.org. Also, between now and Sept. 14, when you make a $25 donation to the American Cancer Society online, you will be entered in a drawing to win an OKC Staycation valued at $500. The winning donor will be drawn at the event, and announced on the Cattle Baron’s Ball Twitter and Facebook pages on Monday, Sept. 17.

FOOTBALL | WEEK 1 SPOTLIGHT: EAGLES 47, IRISH 7
Del City proves too much for McGuinness By Jason Jewell Sports Editor Facing a motivated and much-improved opponent, McGuinness fell behind early and never could mount a comeback in a 47-7 loss to Del City last Friday night before a near-capacity crowd at Clement E. Pribil Stadium.
“(Del City) is a really good, solid program,” Irish coach Bryan Pierce said after the game. “We just struggled up front and weren’t able to get anything going offensively.” Throughout the first half, McGuinness’s longest drive was its second series of the game. The Irish drove down to the Del City 30-yard line, after benefiting from a roughing-the-kicker penalty on fourth-and11, but they couldn’t punch it in. McGuinness did finally get into the end zone with just over five minutes left in the game. Quarter-

McGuinness’ Cooper Wright (1), at right, intercepts a pass in the end zone to stop Del City’s drive in the final minute of the first half.
Richardson provided the highlight of the short three-play series with a 33-yard run to the Del City 43-yard line to set up the TD. The Irish (0-1) had 195 yards of total offense, with Ille and Luke Tarman sharing quarterback duties. “We’ve got a good core group of guys,” Pierce said. “We have to find a way to get them into good situations with the ball.” Del City scored three times over the first three quarters before blitzing the Irish for four TDs in the fourth quarter.

We became the first filmrelated business to relocate to Film Row in several decades. deadCenter’s move to The Paramount was the next logical step in the growth of our organization. With three full time employees, 100 screeners that watch all of the films, and 400 volunteers, we needed more space for meetings, storage and showing films. The Paramount, which had just finished a major renovation, allowed us to remain on Film Row and expand our business into new areas. It also offered deadCenter the opportunity to work alongside our year-round partners at the Oklahoma Film + Music Office. The Paramount on Film Row traces its history back to 1907 when major studios set up film exchanges in cities across America. Movie theater owners from around the region would travel to Oklahoma City to view films, buy product and supplies for their theaters.
This event is from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and includes a 1.5-mile dash around Earlywine Park and a dip in the pool at Earlywine Family Aquatic Center. Dogs must be on leash during the dash and be escorted in and out of the Aquatic Center
Oklahoma City is the only city that has preserved the film exchange buildings. And, the cinema inside The Paramount is the only remaining screening room. As part of its partnership, deadCenter will program local films and shorts programs year-round in the Paramount screening room. And, to bring the historic building into the future, deadCenter will create a Virtual Cinema inside the Paramount that will feature Virtual Reality headsets filled with VR films from Oklahoma and around the world. This Virtual Cinema will be available to schools and business groups throughout the year. And, it will travel with the deadCenter team across Oklahoma as they visit rural high schools and technology centers. If you are interested in checking out deadCenter Film’s new offices, please stop by the Grand Opening on Monday, October 22, from 4:00 – 7:00 p.m., at 701 W Sheridan Ave., Suite 110, Oklahoma City, OK, 73102.

Hall students see benefits in ACT Prep Course M
any Upper School students at Heritage Hall have been busily preparing for the upcoming September ACT exam. These test-takers are hoping to meet their goals and mark new levels of achievement through painstaking study and practice. Over the years,

HALL HAPPENINGS
many students have discovered that one of the most important steps in performing well on the ACT is to attend one of Heritage
Hall’s standardized test preparation courses. Co-taught by Cathie Perry, a longstanding English teacher at Heritage Hall, these courses greatly help students improve their scores. “On average, most students raise their composite [ACT] score by three points overall after having partici-
pated in the course,” Perry said. “Our course is contentbased, meaning it also helps students with current academic course content rather than simply focusing on tricks that help on standardized testing, although we do provide those kinds of tips as a backup,.” Not only do prep

Organizations collaborate to give Harding Prep cross country runners a head start The Harding Charter Preparatory High School cross country team members were sized and outfitted with their own pair of running spike shoes. Over 25 students were able to get their own pair of shoes designed to make them run faster. This shoe-fitting event took place at the school when representatives from the three collaborative partners, Fields and Futures, Cleats for Kids (C4K) and Red Coyote Running brought the shoes to the school. Additionally, the team was given a $1,000 check to help defray costs of the season including competition entry fees. Harding Charter Prep’s Cross Country team is coached by Mark Busick, a volun-
teer who has led the team for over seven years. This collaborative effort is sponsored by the Simon Greiner Track & Field Program, which was started by Don and Shellie Greiner, of Edmond, in honor of their son Simon. This is component of the Fields and Futures program. The Greiner’s son, Simon, was a brilliant runner and inspirational teammate for anyone who ran with him, Ms. Greiner said. The driving tenants of this program are good sportsmanship and teamwork. Cleats for Kids (C4K) has collaborated with Fields & Futures and Red Coyote Running to reignite a passion for track and field
in Oklahoma City, Stacy McDaniel, C4K executive director said. In 2017, C4K, Red Coyote Running & Fitness and Fields & Futures came together to provide hundreds of new distance spikes and training shoes to runners at three metro area schools. Fields & Futures provided support and training for the teams’ coaches throughout the school year. This fall they worked with Harding Charter Prep, US Grant, John Marshall High School and Northwest Classen High School to deliver spikes and trainers to new runners. C4K empowers kids to live healthier lifestyles and learn life lessons through sports by providing sports shoes and safe equip-
Heritage Hall names AP achievers AP Scholar Awards recognize high school students who have demonstrated exemplary college-level achievement on AP Exams. The following Heritage Hall students were recognized for their achievements in 2017-18: •National AP Scholar (average score of at least 4 on all AP Exams taken, and scores of 4 or higher on eight or more of these exams) – Gene Moon ‘18. •AP Scholar with Distinction (average score of at least 3.5 on all AP Exams taken, and scores of 3 or higher on five or more of these exams) – Camil Gosmanov ‘18, Michael Mandanas ’18, Gene Moon ‘18, Dan Mullasseril ‘18, Luke Stewart ‘18, Vyas Venkataraman ‘18 and Alina Wilson ‘19. •AP Scholar with Honor (average score of at least 3.25 on all AP Exams taken, and
scores of 3 or higher on four or more of these exams) – Benjamin Bowen ‘19, Winston Scambler ‘18, Aneirin Truong ‘19, Sydney Tucker ‘18 and Luke
Williams ‘18. •AP Scholar (score of 3 or higher on three or more AP Exams) – Jessie Lu ‘18, Anna Thompson ‘18 and Elizabeth Turner ‘18.
ment to kids in need. McDaniel founded the organization in 2011 and since then C4K has distributed over 70,000 pieces of equipment in 98 Oklahoma school districts. Through programs like the Simon Greiner Track & Field Program, the organization has been able to impact 30,000 kids through sports, McDaniel said.
courses help students answer the specific types of questions they will see on the test, they also provide them with helpful sleep and nutrition tips prior to the test date. Perry advises firsttime ACT testers to “take the path of the tortoise, not the hare.” “Teens who work
toward an earlier, slower (steady) preparation tend to come out on top sooner, often completing a final ACT exam prior to the start of their senior year – or at least finishing up by September or October of senior year,” she said. Best of luck on the ACT, Chargers!

guided tours of Isabelle de Borchgrave Fashioning Art from Paper. Awesome, unbelievable that this collection is created entirely from paper. Bryon Chambers, manager of adult learning and tours told everyone the story of the incredible feats of creator Isabelle de Borchgrave fashioning, painting, pressing and stenciling clothing from primarily butcher and tissue paper. Taking a tour will enhance your experience immensely. The show features the life-size, trompe l’œil paper costumes of the Belgian artist (born 1946). Following a visit to the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum in 1994, de Borchgrave began working in the new medium, creating trompe l’œil paper works in what eventually would become four major paper fashion collections. The first, Papiers à la Mode (Paper in Fashion), takes a fresh look at three hundred years of fashion history from Elizabeth I to Coco Chanel. The World of Mariano Fortuny immerses museum-goers in the elegant world of twentieth-century Venice. Splendor of the Medici leads visi-
tors through the streets of Florence, where they come across famous figures in their sumptuous ceremonial dress. And in Les Ballets Russes, de Borchgrave pays tribute to Sergei Diaghilev, Pablo Picasso, Léon Bakst, and Henri Matisse, who all designed for this extraordinary ballet company. For this exhibition, all four collections will be presented together, for the first time, in a survey of de Borchgrave’s innovative work. Along with these pieces, a series of kaftans highlighting Silk Road textiles will be included, as well as a newly commissioned costume inspired by a painting by Peter Paul Rubens, Portrait of Charlotte-Marguerite de Montmorency, Princess of Condé, c. 1610. Both the original costume and the Rubens portrait will be included in the exhibition.

Friends and family celebrate Bud’s special day W
hat gives? Husband Jerry gave the full-court press to “his” tomato crop this year. Lovingly he folded in the llama “poo” (odorless fertilizer compliments of Lew McGinnis), egg shells pulverized to powder per instructions, fish emulsion, precise pruning with cuticle scissors, Epson salts, additional worms and compost. The resulting vines are so hearty that Jack-in-the-Beanstalk took up residence in our garden. More love than expressed on the “Bachelorette” was lavished on those suckers. If he gave me that much attention, I could sprout tomatoes. Alas, a paltry handful of grape tomatoes is our reward. On the other hand, if you’d like to annihilate an enemy, whatever in the heck kind of peppers I planted produced dozens of wicked gnarly red people-killing peppers. Feel free to filch. •If you were to picture a guy who is urbane, cosmopolitan in dress, witty, polished, worldly and refined, it would be easy to shout out the name Bud Meade. But to our surprise he also is turning 90. Our mailbox, being of good taste, happily housed the handsome shimmering bordered black and silver invitation, which set the tone for the dinner and dancing at OKC Golf and Country Club to celebrate this birth-
day. Guests arrived in “summer chic” and danced with delight at the Pine Leaf Boys band from Lafayette, La. Bud has always been all about great bands. We all know that because of his presidency of various dance clubs. Bud spent nine months convincing this group that they wanted to come to OKC, and after this party, bet they’d jump at a chance to return. Marine blue cloths draped the tables of the Sable Room, and cornflower blue and white flowers were stunning as centerpieces. So many friends have been travelling this summer, and that makes the reuniting so much fun. Around the room were Jane and Paul Austin, Tina and Elby Beal, Sandy Meyers, Susan and John Dobson, Barbara Kerrick, Susan and Mike McPherson, Betty Crow, Annie Bohanon and Henry Browne, and Kay and Gates Oliver. Sitting for a dinner that was surprising in its ability to be elegant, but savory comfort food, were Linda and Bill Rodgers, Kirk Hammons,
Peggy and Marvin Lunde, Lynn and Mike Kelly, Patsy and JR Homsey, Leslie and Scott Samara and Kathy and Russ Walker. We had pot roast and fried chicken, green beans with bacon, fabulous gravy and mashed potatoes and hot biscuits. That all came after a fresh salad with blue cheese and before cake and ice cream. Toasting Bud were Karen and Bob Browne, Lori and Dodge Hill, Linda and Ken Howell, Cynda and Larry Ottaway, Barbara and Bud Beeler, Julee and JW Coyle, Carol and Don Kaspereit, Kitty and Dick Champlain, and Marilyn and Gene Torbett. Others were Arden Barrett, Pam and Bill Shdeed, Nancy and Andy Coats, Sue Ann and Dudley Hyde, Jane and Gerald Gamble, Mary and Mike Mahaffey, Sharon and John Bozalis, Lela and Mark Sullivan, Mary Anne Malone and Charlie Lutz, Penny and John McCaleb, and Dede and Bob Benham. At one point we were all circled and looking at the dance floor as there was a lost earring on the floor, but when we retrieved it from the sea of shoes it turned out to be an errant See JOY, Page B2

hearing aid – aging is just funny! Daughter Liz talked of dad taking her world-wide fox hunting (which sounds just like Bud), and the fact that he has written seven books, skied and horseback riding well into his 80s and the force he is in her life. Liz’s date was Dan Wallace. Also, Michael Meade who is an international lawyer in Hanoi, Viet Nam. Daughter Cacky Meade Porch brought date Sean Murphy. Bud’s brother, Jim Meade (beautiful Virginia is his wife), talked of childhood rivalry and who would have the last word – but how they gave one another space to recognize each other’s position during discussions. Sounds so much more civilized than brothers bopping one another on the head – but those Meade
men are cosmopolitan. Three of Jim and Virginia’s FIVE girls were there: Caroline and Durward Hendee, Virginia Meade and Susie Meade. John Henry came from Dallas and brought as his date, Laura Wilson. Fun fact: Laura’s sons are Hollywood actors, Owen Wilson, Luke Wilson and Andrew Wilson. Bud’s beautiful lithe wife Marilyn has every reason to be confident and in fact, she invited one of Bud’s long, long ago girlfriends, Mary Roby from Grosse Point, Michigan to come to the big party. As Mary is also a friend of Sally and Dick Burpee, and they had been in Michigan, they brought her back to OKC with them, and stayed with the Burpees – then attending the party. Bud was aglow with the dancing and fun being had at his party, and gave full credit to Marilyn, “She’s really good at this you know!” Amen.

Free Field Trip Program and sponsors an annual $1,000 cash scholarship for a high school student through the Oklahoma Scholarship Competition.

The Blessed Stanley Rother Shrine is expected to be dedicated in July 2022.
Rother Shrine contractor is named Archbishop Paul Coakley announced the selection of The Boldt Company to serve as construction manager for the building of the Blessed Stanley Rother Shrine in Oklahoma City. The shrine will be built on a former golf course at S.E. 89 between Shields Boulevard and Interstate 35. The shrine will be the final resting place for Blessed Stanley Rother, a native of Okarche, Okla., who was killed in Guatemala while serving the poor as a missionary priest. In 2016, Pope Francis declared Father Rother the first martyr for the Catholic Church in the United States. In September during a Beatification Mass in downtown Oklahoma City, he became the first martyr and the first U.S.born priest to be beatified – the last step before sainthood. “It is exciting to take the next step toward building this beautiful shrine in honor of a courageous priest from Oklahoma,” Archbishop Coakley said. “I would like to thank the members of the Rother building committee for the many
hours of work that lead to the important selection of a contractor, and I welcome Boldt as a new partner in this inspiring project." The Boldt Company will join design architects Franck and Lohsen of Washington D.C., and project architects ADG of Oklahoma City. Groundbreaking on the 56-acre campus is expected in early 2020 with completion by summer 2022. The shrine will include a 2,000-seat church, a 200-seat chapel, a museum and a pilgrim center, which will tell the story of Blessed Stanley's life and martyrdom. An event center and education building will be added in front of the main church. “The committee found The Boldt Company leadership to be highly capable and good communicators with a deep understanding of the mission and purpose of the shrine,” Molly Bernard, chairman of the selection committee, said. The committee will work with architects, contractors and others through the next phases of planning for the
shrine campus. Funding for the shrine is part of a first-ever capital campaign for the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City – “One Church, Many Disciples.” Construction of the shrine is the central element of the $65 million campaign. To date, the campaign has raised more than $56 million, and Archbishop Coakley recently announced a challenge goal of $80 million. Approximately $39 million of the total will be put toward completing the church and shrine. “If the campaign continues its success, and pledges are paid over time, we expect to be able to break ground on the shrine in early 2020,” said Peter de Keratry, executive director of stewardship and development for the archdiocese. “We estimate the shrine will take about two years to build with dedication of the main church occurring on the feast day of Blessed Stanley Rother, July 28, 2022.” For more information about the Blessed Stanley Rother Shrine, go online to blessedstanleyrother.org.
