Taipei, OKC mark 40th year as ‘Sister Cities’

Nichols Hills launches new mobile app By Rose Lane Editor

By Vicki C. Gourley Publisher A friendship between Taipei, Taiwan, and Oklahoma City resulting in trade and cultural exchanges was signed through Sister Cities International by OKC Mayor Patience Latting 40 years ago. Last week, SCI OKC board members traveled to Houston, Texas, to celebrate with the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO). Representing SCI OKC was President Mary Blankenship Pointer, who is also on the international SCI board; Chris Morriss, Chief Protocol Officer of Oklahoma; Aldwyn Sappleton, Deputy Director of Research and Economic Analysis, Oklahoma

where. She even drove the van. The Okies were so charmed by her beauty and efficiency; we were having a ball even before arriving at the TECO for a formal luncheon and gift exchange.

The all-new City of Nichols Hills Shop Together mobile app is an easy and convenient way for residents to connect with local merchants and the city itself. Mayor Sody Clements said the platform of her term is economic development. She said the city has been talking about developing an app for some time. “COVID really spurred us on,” Clements said. The app was a “good chance to involve the merchants,” she said. Local businesses can post sales and announce promotions. “For instance, if you are looking for a men’s clothing store, it’s right there,” Clements said. There is a place on the app for merchants to list their businesses, subject to approval. The app also includes a map of Nichols Hills and shows users where map and health care services are located. Residents can contact City Hall with questions and even pay their utility bills. The app is free and available by searching City of Nichols Hills in the app store. “It is very easy to use and convenient,” Clements said. “We all have our phones.” The official kick-off of the app is set for Saturday during the Nichols Hills Community Day, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., on the north side of Nichols Hills Plaza.

He aced it! Crossings junior gets perfect ACT score By Rose Lane Editor Only a junior, Crossings Christian School’s Garrett Baumert can cross the ACT off his list of things to do. There is no sense of taking it again. One can’t do better than a perfect 36. With that, he said he felt “relief.” Fewer than half of 1 percent of students who take

the ACT earn the top score of 36. Even fewer accomplish this as a junior. This was Garret’s second time to sit for the ACT. His first attempt was five years ago when he scored a 27 as a 12-year-old, which is a full seven points more than the national average. Garrett spends his free time competing on the CCS Debate and Academic Team — and evidently studying for

the ACT. To prepare for exam, he said he took a week-long class with Sherry Howell at Education Motivation in Moore. “I also did practice tests in the evening after the review class,” he said. Practice does make perfect. “The best advice I can give is to practice,” Garrett said. “It doesn’t matter how many tips and tricks you learn,

us artifacts and ancient paintings and sculptures before letting us loose in the costume shop. The center produces Chinese operas and dancing exhibitions. She told us to each pick out an outfit, line up and take our masks off for a minute for a picture.

Community Chr. outlasts Chargers in 3A title match By Jason Jewell Sports Editor Following a heartbreaking 5-set loss last year in the state quarterfinals, the Heritage Hall volleyball team made a goal to reach the championship match in 2020. Mission accomplished, as the No. 2seed Chargers reached the Class 3A final last Saturday in Blanchard, but ultimately fell to top-seed Community Christian in another 3-2 loss. “The girls worked hard and really wanted to make the state finals very badly,” said coach Dana Schwab, who returned to Heritage Hall after a 5year hiatus. “We were finally able to navigate our way to developing some team chemistry which clicked about midway

McLaughlin runs to win at Stroud Harding Charter Prep’s Ryan McLaughlin can add yet another gold medal to his trophy case after cruising to an 11-second win at the Stroud Invitational last Saturday morning. McLaughlin completed the 5-kilometer course in 16 minutes, 54.51 seconds, to lead

the Eagles to eighth place in the team standings. Teammates Jaime Escobar and Sean Carr cracked the top 50 in 45th and 46th places, respectively.

best of the year.” Community Christian rallied to win the final two sets and claim the state title. Daphne Matthews, one of two seniors on the team, led the Chargers with 22 kills against the Royals. “She really kept us afloat,” Schwab said of Matthews. “She’s a great offensive threat and worked hard on her passing and making herself a more allaround player.” The other senior, setter Olivia Franklin, is a “huge leader on the court and our scrappiest defensive player,” Schwab said. Junior Kate Walker also helped Heritage Hall as a “blocking force” on the defense, Schwab said.

Rockets win 5A regional crown Only allowing more than 10 points in two of six sets, Mount St. Mary cruised to a Class 5A regional title last Monday. The top-ranked Rockets (36-6) posted 3-0 sweeps over Shawnee and Fridayland rival John Marshall

espite the pan‐ demic, the Okla‐ homa film and tele‐ vision industry is charging full steam ahead. Several pro‐ ductions that post‐ poned in early sum‐ mer have returned to film this fall, albeit with strict COVID guidelines in place. The biggest and most exciting pro‐ duction is Reagan, a feature film about the enduring conser‐ vative icon, Holly‐ wood star, and 40th president of the United States. The biopic stars Dennis Quaid as Ronald Reagan and David Henrie as young Reagan. Quaid is a Golden Globe nominated actor that appeared in I Can Only Imag‑ ine, the Oklahoma filmed Christian blockbuster that made $87 million at the box office in 2017. Henrie is a successful child tele‐ vision actor with multi‐year turns on That’s So Raven, Wiz‑ ards of Waverly Place, and How I Met Your Mother. The film also stars Oscar winner Jon Voight (Coming Home) and Oklahoma natives Randy Wayne (The Billionaire) and Robert Peters (Lin‑ coln). Reagan is directed by Sean McNamara, an industry veteran that reteams with Quaid from the 2011 film Soul Surfers and with Henrie from the

Emmy nominated children’s television series, That’s So Raven. McNamara was also Emmy nominated and BAFTA awarded for his television series Even Stevens. Oklahoma based writer/director Kyle Kauwika Harris recently started film‐ ing his new thriller Out of Exile in Okla‐ homa City. Harris is a 2020 Heartland Emmy winner for his documentary fea‐ ture, I Stand: The Guardians of the Water. His short film, Los Americanos, won the inaugural Okla‐ homa State Fair Film Festival in 2019. The current film, Out of Exile, tells the story of a botched rob‐ bery, a paroled thief trying to get his life back together, and the FBI agent deter‐ mined to track him down. The Out of Exile cast is led by Ryan Merriman, a dead‐ Center Oklahoma Film ICON who starred in twenty Disney movies and TV series before graduating to major films like 42 and series like Pretty Lit‑ tle Liars. Merriman is joined by Peter Greene, Zed from Pulp Fiction, Danny Boy O’Conner, band

member for House of Pain, and Adam Hampton, his co‐ star from The Juras‑ sic Games in 2018, who currently stars in the new release 90 Feet from Home and recently won a second Heartland Emmy for directing and hosting an online series about musicians called Play It Loud. Wrapping up pro‐ duction this month is Reservation Dogs, a new a new televi‐ sion series for FX written and directed by Oklahoma film‐ maker Sterlin Harjo in collaboration with Taika Waititi, Oscar winner for Jojo Rab‑ bit. Reservation Dogs tells the story of four Native American teenagers living in an Indian housing project in rural Okla‐ homa who spend their days commit‐ ting crime and fight‐ ing it.

The cast consisted of nine students, each of whom had an understudy due to the uncertainty of COVID19. The cast knew it would be a risk from the start, but wanted to commit to putting on the play. In their two months of rehearsals, the entire cast wore masks at every practice and remained as spread out as possible.

Catie Leonard, a national speech and debate finalist, played Naomi Farkle, a classic southern hairdresser. Leonard acknowledged all the hard work that the cast, crew, and Brett Young, the speech and debate teacher, had put in to make the play come to life, even amid a pandemic.

Greenies ease up a little Reprinted from OKC Friday, Friday, April 27, 2012

E CAN EASE UP on our environmental crusading buddies a little since they have eased up a little on America. Oversimplified, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has now come out with rules and regulations on safe fracking that are what the energy industry has already adopted on its own. Now, maybe the President will okay the Trans-Canada pipeline instead of waiting until a month before the election. And we can get the economy back on its upward climb a little, again. From the start, the whole thing was fed by the Greenies’ hatred of Big Oil and a fever desire to polish it off the map so we

The Best of J. Leland Gourley Reprinted from OKC FRIDAY can have more of their beloved windmills and solar panels. There absolutely is no way wind and solar can ever begin to scratch the surface on supplying mankind’s demand for energy. Especially mobile energy. So, maybe the Rulers of the Green are beginning to see the light and the error of their beliefs that replaceable fuels will ever fill the bill. The oil and gas industry, all along, has doubled efforts to keep fracking safe and

sound from fouling up adjacent drinking water supplies. And, thus, our of-late discovery that America has geometrically more oil and gas reserves than we thought we had a short time ago. And that, of course, means we are on the way to stop shipping billions, no trillions, of energy dollars overseas, for foreign oil supplies. Now, we have to gear up to get more natural gas-fueled automobiles and trucks. All we have to do is to, some way, get a coast-to-coast string of CNG service stations on our Interstate highway system and watch the natural gas-fueled industry take off. Let’s get it done! Jobs!
