NHills continues quest for recycling system By Mike W. Ray Staff Writer On the subject of recycling, the City of Nichols Hills is nothing if not persistent. The City Council created the Environment, Health and Sustainability (EHS) Commission a decade ago to develop a comprehensive
recycling program. Several plans have been attempted and discarded since then, but the effort has not waned. “The city continues to explore options but has not yet identified a workable solution,” City Manager Shane Pate said in a memo earlier this year. The most recent proposal
came from Republic Services last summer. The waste collection company proposed a mandatory recycling program that would cost $27.50 per household. A preliminary poll of public sentiment about mandatory houseside recycling was overwhelmingly negative, City Manager Shane Pate told the EHS
Commission. The principal points of contention were mandatory versus voluntary participation and the expense: $25 per month plus a $2.50 administrative fee EHS Chairman Nancy Herzel, during a recent commission meeting, said she was told that products manufactured from No. 1 and

Sports Weekly FOOTBALL | WEEK 7 PREVIEW: TIGERS AT KNIGHTS • 7 P.M. FRIDAY • KNIGHTS STADIUM
Crossings Chr. careful not to take Wellston lightly By Jason Jewell Sports Editor Despite a five-game winning streak and counting down to a prospective district championship game in two weeks, Crossings Christian is guarding against taking winless Wellston too lightly this Friday night. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. at Knights Stadium. “We have been talking quite a bit this week about taking this game seriously,” coach Jonathan
Keathly said. “We’re really trying to concentrate on ourselves this week. You can always find ways to improve. We have some big games coming up.” The Knights currently boast a 6-1 overall record and sit tied atop District A-3 with Cashion at 5-0. Crossings outlasted Christian Heritage, 3418, last week. Wellston (0-6, 0-4), meanwhile, suffered a 52-8 loss against Watonga. A key to the

Knights’ winning streak, according to Keathly, is the play of the defensive line. “Our defense, particularly the d-line,
have been very strong overall this season,” the coach said. “Our front line isn’t very big but they’re strong and quick. The make
it very hard for offenses to move the ball.” Senior Trent Miller anchors the defensive line and has already collected nearly 50 tackles this season. Linebacker Jacob Snyder also anchors the middle of the defense, while also taking most of the carries at running back on offense. “Jacob is a big force on both sides of the ball for us,” Keathly said. “He’s a big part of our offense.” Another key improvement so far
this season is in the kicking game. A missed extra-point attempt cost the Knights in their only loss to Rejoice Christian in Week 2, and has been “an adventure,” Keathly admitted. “Our kicking game has gotten a lot better,” the coach said. “I seriously considered going for two every time, but we committed to being better.” Kicker Coleman Patterson, who also plays receiver, made 4 of 5 extra-point attemps against CHA.

Shayleigh Odom and Hailey Evans accounted for Deer Creek’s other two hits in the game. Taylor Smith scored off Hott’s homer after opening the fifth inning with a walk. PC North, mean-

T
he Oklahoma State Arts Conference returns to Oklahoma City this month. The annual gathering, hosted by the Oklahoma Arts Council, brings together 400 artists, nonprofit organizations, educators, and civic leaders for professional development and networking. This year’s conference takes place on Wednesday, Oct. 24, and Thursday, Oct. 25, with activities offered throughout the week. For the first time, the event is not being held in a conference center. Instead, all of the meetings and activities will take place at different downtown businesses on or near Film Row. Registration will take place at 21C Museum Hotel, lunch will be served at the Farmers Market, and breakout sessions, lectures, and activities will be held at 21C, The Paramount, Carpenter Square Theatre, Race the Space, IAO Gallery, KOSU, OU Architecture, and Dunlap Codding Law Firm. To celebrate the arts conference coming to historic Film Row, the Oklahoma Arts Council has partnered with the team at deadCenter Film to create a slate of film related panels, events and activities throughout the weekend. These film panels, like the examples below, are geared towards different
audiences and fit within the three major conference tracks: artists, arts organizations and community leaders. Alyx Picard Davis, Director of Festival and Operations for deadCenter, will lead a panel discussion for artists about expanding their brand. This session will focus on creating strategies for leveraging core skills to create new opportunities for increasing potential revenue and brand mindshare. The panel will include personal anecdotes from three different artists: graphic designer and published author Tiffany McKnight, visual artist and Factory Obscura cofounder Kelsey Karper, and filmmaker and stopmotion animation producer Kyle Roberts. Tava Sofsky, Director of the Oklahoma Film + Music Office, will lead a panel about elevating the arts through collaboration. Sofsky, whose state office is under the umbrella of both Tourism and Commerce, works year round to leverage the success of the film and music industries to sell Oklaho-
ma as a hotbed of creativity across all sectors. On the panel, she will be joined by Abby Kurin, Director of the Tulsa Film, Music, Arts, & Culture Office; Sharon Ray, Founder of the Bare Bones Film Festival in Muskogee and board member of the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame; and Amy Young, cofounder or SixTwelve in the Paseo, an arts and sustainability pre-school, afterschool program, and community center. Sara Thompson, Director of Programming for deadCenter, will host an Oklahoma Film Showcase, featuring clips from three award winning Oklahoma films followed by a discussion with the three directors. The films include You People from writer/director Laron Chapman, The Jurassic Games from writer/director Ryan Belgardt; and Gray Matter from writer/ director Megan Hickey. Finally, I will lead a discussion with Matthew Sipress from Lyric Theatre and Hui Cha Poos from RACE Dance about creating education programs that can be taken on the road. The discussion will include practical steps for creating, funding, and managing education outreach programs that travel across the city and around the state. More about the conference, at arts.ok.gov.
Capacity to increase for Positive Tomorrows Positive Tomorrows, Oklahoma’s only elementary school specifically serving children experiencing homelessness, is ensuring bright futures for some of the state’s most vulnerable students with the construction of a new facility. Funded by a collaboration between REI Oklahoma’s REI Development Corp., Bank of Oklahoma, Wells Fargo and MetaFund Corp, the construction project will solve Positive Tomorrows’ biggest barrier to reaching more students – enrollment capacity. For every ten students at Oklahoma City Public Schools, one is homeless, equating to nearly 9,000 homeless children in Oklahoma City. For these homeless students, learning
unfortunately takes a back seat to surviving. Besides delivering trauma-informed education practices in a private school setting, Positive Tomorrows helps homeless children and their families by removing hindrances such as hunger insecurities, lack of basic needs, medical access and transportation. It also address the economic needs of families as well as providing an educational environment that is sensitive to the struggles its students face. At the end of its 2017 school year, Positive Tomorrows had turned away 97 students, due largely in part to not having classroom space. This $15 million New Markets Tax Credit-funded construction project
will create a nearly 36,000 squarefoot school building, allowing more than 1,300 clients to be served annually. With only 3% of its funding coming from government sources, Positive Tomorrows is primarily funded through generous corporations, foundations and individuals. “The New Markets Tax Credit’s sole purpose is to make communities stronger,” said Scott Dewald, REI Oklahoma President and CEO. “This school project certainly meets that objective. Our Board of Directors and staff have been honored to be a part of this project are grateful for those who played a part in making this vision come into
focus,” added Dewald. Since receiving its first federallyfunded NMTC allocation, REI Oklahoma has counteracted disinvestment in the state’s communities amounting to projects of more than $1 billion, affecting more than 3,800 jobs. The tax credits are provided by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Community Development Financial Institutions Fund and provide a 39 percent federal income tax credit for investments into qualifying businesses in low-income communities. REI Oklahoma welcomes the opportunity to discuss the feasibility of potential NMTC-related financing projects. Call 800-658-2823 to arrange a meeting.

and paper as part of a campaign against “foreign garbage.” Besides No. 1 and No. 2 plastics, office paper, aluminum and cardboard are still being recycled, but plastic shopping bags are not, Herzel said she was told. Therefore, she said, “Remember your reusable shopping bags,” many of which are made of cloth, for more things than just groceries. “I really want us to emphasize reuse,” she said. Plastic bags have some unique problems. The cost of plastic bags for retailers is relatively low, but their environmental impact is enormous. Made from ethylene, a byproduct of petroleum or natural gas, plastic bags are so cheap and flimsy that cashiers use them liberally; as a result, shoppers end up with piles of plastic bags. Some of the bags are reused to line trash containers, but ultimately the bags still end up in the landfill. And even when disposed of properly, plastic bags are so lightweight and aerodynamic that they are easily picked up and carried by the wind. They can escape from trash bins, recycle bins, garbage trucks and landfills and end up littering the landscape. Plastic bags have aptly been referred to as “urban tumbleweeds.” Plastic bags also are hazardous to animals. For example, whales washed up on U.S. coasts have been found to have bellies full of plastic. And endangered leatherback sea turtles mistake floating plastic bags for the jellyfish that are their main diet, ingesting the plastic that can then block their digestive tracts. The Nichols Hills commission also discussed conservation and reclamation of water. The new irrigation system installed in the city’s 37 public parks is operated by a computerized supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system, Public
Works Director Randy Lawrence said. “It allows us to monitor the system on a daily basis.” If a leak is detected it will activate an alarm and will automatically shut off that particular zone where the leak is detected, Lawrence said. In addition, it has rain and freeze sensors that will automatically shut off the system in those conditions, Herzel said. EHS Commissioner Caroline Patton referred to the “Water for 2060 Act” adopted by the Oklahoma Legislature in 2012. That measure established a goal of using no more fresh water in 2060 than was consumed in 2012, while supporting continued growth and prosperity in the state. Water usage in Nichols Hills over the past five fiscal years (July 1– June 30) totaled almost 2.15 billion gallons, or an average of 429.7 million gallons annually. Consumption surpassed that level in each of the last three years. Patton said research has shown that over the long term Oklahoma frequently experiences droughts interrupted periodically by wet years (such as 2018), and that the number of days when the temperature has surpassed 90 degrees has been increasing. “I want to raise awareness of conservation,” she said. “Conservation, not using the water in the first place, is the best option.” Irrigating yards, plants and parks with “gray” wastewater would conserve fresh water, Commissioner Carleen Burger said. Nichols Hills does not recycle its wastewater because of the expense of constructing, operating and maintaining a sewage treatment plant, chief water plant operator David White said. “We’re such a small city, it’s hard to justify spending millions of dollars to build and operate” a wastewater treatment plant, he said. Instead, Nichols Hills routes its wastewater to Oklahoma City’s sewage system, which has multiple treatment plants, White said.

Corporation Commissioner Bob Anthony has had to take a ribbing from friends and ridicule from enemies for long enough. It’s time somebody said a kind word for Bob Anthony. Anthony saw something wrong in state government. A lot of us have been similar witnesses. The difference is, Anthony had the courage and the stubborn determination to try to right a serious wrong that has grown up in our state, and undoubtedly many others. Graft! Corruption! Bribery! The unsophisticated and unenlightened laughed at the highly educated public official who chose to play cop and get himself wired by the FBI. Who’s laughing now? Anthony, virtually single-handedly, and in the face of much scorn, weathered the storm, got the evidence and paved the way for the conviction of at least a couple of crooks. That’s a big step no one else outside the enforcement agencies has done. Informed Oklahomans have KNOWN graft and corruption was present in the state’s many dealings with vendors to the state and the public. But there was no hard, concrete evidence to prove it. Anthony got the evidence! The court,
The Best of J. Leland Gourley Reprinted from OKC FRIDAY
with a jury of twelve, handed down the conviction of a crooked lawyer and a crooked high state official for giving and taking a bribe. There’s a lot more of it going on out there. Maybe now, that Anthony has been vindicated, others will have the courage to do the same thing. One of the lowest forms of humanity is a vendor to government who prostitutes the trust of governance by bribing weak and greedy public officials. Keep an eye on contractors and consultants in the arena of government where big bucks are at stake. Bob Anthony is no longer the butt of ignorant jokes. Bob Anthony is an Oklahoma hero! Unless, of course, you think it is all right for crooks to have special preference over the rest of the people, by illegal bribery for special favors.

Lotus Club heralds fall with pretty party at the club O
ur “I-Ring” doorbell kept me safe once again. I awakened at 3:18 a.m. when the “ringggg” on my phone announced that we had motion on the front porch. Not chancing to answer the door, my sleepy mind went into overdrive. (Husband Jerry was snoozing happily). Had they stolen the pumpkins on the front porch? Maybe the pumpkins AND the porch pillows, AND the bench and cushions too. How about the pots on the porch or the thousand-pound iron Fu dogs guarding the doorway? While I was working on the idea that they might have hoisted off the steel front door and possibly the entire second floor of the house, I fell back to sleep. Telling my tale of terror to Jerry the next morning, he regarded me as you would a raving mental patient and pulled up the video. Good thing. Apparently, a big moth had flittered by the doorbell sensor. You can’t be too careful. • The Lotus Dance Club fell gracefully into fall with a pretty party in the Sable Room of Oklahoma City Golf and Country Club. Penny McCaleb and Susan Hoffman saw to the details as elegant wives, do, and they welcomed everyone to the evening. Somehow in that, Penny and I happened onto the topic of cell phones and her sparkly eyes got big when she told me how clean Lotus Club President John’s phone is. True, it doesn’t work, but does it gleam! For some reason that Penny can’t understand, John did some gardening. When he yanked off his muddy clothes, he dropped them into the washing machine, and she, not only elegant, but now efficient wife washed that load. She said upon discovery, “Didn’t even try the drying-in-rice thing. It was toast.” Give her credit though, she caught it before the Whirlpool dryer had its way with the phone. Lotus Club always has a glorious seated dinner before the band swings into action, and around the room were Leslie and Scott Samara, Jane and Paul Austin, Laura and Reeder Ratliff, Betsy and Nick Berry, Karen and Rob Luke, Martha and Ron Bradshaw, Jane and Jim White, Patty and Kent Cohenour, Rhonda and Richard Hefton, and Bette and Jim MacKellar. New members invited to join were: Elby and Tina Beal, Mike McCoy and Aleda Toma, Gary and Myrla Pierson, and David and Becky
McCubbin. • When you get a powerhouse like Lou Kerr behind a project, it is off and running. Lou hosted a table for Criminal Justice and Mercies Ministries (CJAMM) in that the Stan Basler Award was being awarded Dr. Bob Spinks. Lou always sets a fun tone – for an hors d’oeuvre she brought the most decadent little cupcakes for her table of guests. Positively that IS a pre-dinner snack - as we are adults as – nothing “spoils our appetites.” Laughing about how to divide the remaining cupcakes were Pama and Mike Palmer, Jane Rauh and Don Wilson, and Lynne Hardin. Saw Becky and Jim Buchanan, Jane and Jerry Gamble, Kristen Harlin who is CJAMM director, Judge April Sellers White who is board chairman, and Carol and Don Kaspereit at another table – cupcake-less. As a fund-raiser, CJAMM held a silent auction, and it was delightful to dine in the Great Hall of the McDaniel Center at OCU. • It was party overload on Waverly Avenue. Two large events a YPO Gold event and the famous Tri Delta Bullfrog party were next door
to one another – and at the same time. But for those toggling back and forth it was a maximization of valet parking. Steve and Susan Raupe hosted the YPO group and Dr. Teresa Shavney and Rick Knapp hosted the Tri Deltas. The Bullfrogs kept it down and didn’t horn in on YPO (horn in as in horny toad, get it? Oh. A bullfrog may not be a toad – I nearly flunked biology – so forget it). But Deloris and Dennis Bradford, Linda and Jim Lowe and Alison and Jack Counts tippy toed across the yards. Around the Raupe’s incredibly beautiful contemporary home were seen Laurie Hyde, Darci and Mike Dillard, Davonna and Carl Milam, Melissa Records (Jeff was hunting), Chip Fudge, Denise and John Parsons, and Pat Rooney.
