The Nichols Hills City Council discussed the possible adoption of a new landlord permit ordinance, which would require all property owners who rent or are planning to rent their homes to obtain an annual permit from the city. During a council meeting, city attorney Carla Sharpe presented a draft of the proposed ordinance. With about 130 homes currently rented out in the city, she said the proposed ordinance would secure help to the city from property owners. It would also help enforce issues with property and yard maintenance, payment for utility services, noise and disorderly behavior, parking, hazardous conditions and more. “The ordinance would require landlords to remain mindful and aware of what’s going on at their property that they rent,” Sharpe said. “They could be, if things don’t go well, required to pursue state remedies or evictions against the renters, if necessary, See NHILLS, Page 3

klahoma City University was again included as one of the best schools in the country, according to the annual independent rankings released by the U.S. News & World Report. Thanks to expanded graduate-level programs in nursing and the university’s physician assistant program, OCU stepped up its status this year from a Regional University to the National University category. Along with the overall National University list, OCU was the only school in the state to make the Top Performers on Social Mobility list; and was also included on the Campus Ethnic Diversity and the A+ schools for B Students lists. OCU’s Meinders School of Business is ranked among the top Undergraduate Business Programs in the country. Schools on the A+ Schools for B Students list are noted for accepting outstanding applicants whose scores are not “A.” The colleges and universities included in the list see great potential in these students and help them achieve their goals. The Best Colleges rankings evaluate colleges and universities on 15 diverse measures of academic quality like outcomes based on retaining and graduating students on time, faculty resources and student excellence. Each indicator is assigned a weight “based on U.S. News' judgments about which measures of quality matter most,” according to the report.

NHILLS From Page 1 to help the city enforce the ordinance.” The ordinance applies to property owners who rent their properties to occupants, who are defined as someone who has a rental agreement from the property owner to occupy all or part of the home. The ordinance applies whether the rental agreement is written or oral and whether the agreement requires rent or not. If the property owner or a member of the owner’s immediate family live in the home with the renter, the ordinance is null. The proposed landlord permit also
applies to only one property, which means owners renting multiple properties would be required to have a permit for each property. If the rented home is sold, the new owner is also responsible for obtaining a new permit. To secure a landlord permit, Sharpe said the owner would file an application with the city and pay a fee. The property owner must own the home to be rented and the renter must be provided with information pertaining to state law regarding residential landlordtenant tenancies, a copy of the city ordinance and a pamphlet with an overview of the ordinance. If the owner receives multiple violations of the city code
from the city, the owner must also pursue lawful state remedies to terminate the agreement. “Once the applications are deemed completed, the city manager would issue the permit, unless he found grounds to deny it,” she said. Lastly, the proposed landlord permit ordinance has a point system. Points would be assessed for repeated warnings and viola-
tions and once a certain number of points have been reached, the city could revoke a landlord permit. Council members said they are interested in putting the ordinance on a future city council meeting agenda for approval, but would like to hear feedback from city landlords and the public. The proposed ordinance is available on the city’s website at nicholshills.net.

Johnson TD catch keys Crossings’ win By Jason Jewell Sports Editor On the final series of regulation last Friday night, Crossings Christian faced a fourth-and-nine from the Christian Heritage 33-yard line with less than 30 seconds left. Like he had earlier in the series on another fourth down play,
quarterback Owen Crotts found a streaking Hunter Johnson for the game-winning touchdown and a 3127 victory over the Crusaders. “This is the kind of game you look back on 20 years from now when we beat CHA,” Crossings coach Keathly said after the game. “This is what high school football is all about.” The duo connected on several other plays but none were more important in this back-and-forth contest than a 15-yard completion on fourth-andsix and the game-winning play.

The Knights also scored twice in the second quarter, when Crotts connected with Johnson for a 29-yard TD and Snyder on a 17-yard score early in the period. Kicker Michael Morris nailed a 28yard field goal to open the game and made all four of his extrapoint attempts.

Future Vision Seminar at OCU
d
eadCenter Film is partnering with the visual arts department at Oklahoma City University to host a seminar about the future of storytelling in 3D animation, virtual and augmented reality. The event, called Future Vision, is free and open to the public. It will take place on Saturday, Nov. 9, from 9:00am – noon, at the Norick Art Center on the OCU campus. Future Vision will start with a keynote panel presentation about the state-of-theart in 3D animation, virtual reality, and augmented reality technologies. This panel will be led by Jeff Price, OCU’s newest hire in the visual art department. Price led similar classes at Oklahoma Christian University, but jumped at the chance to launch the new degree programs at OCU in conjunction with their robust film and video department. After the panel, participants will be able to experience virtual reality movies and games from the deadCenter film festival, work with 3D animation software, meet local VR and AR producers, and discuss 21st century storytelling across different platforms. Experts and professionals will be on hand from
Oklahoma City University and other local companies, including several young professionals trained by Price. One of the goals of every deadCenter seminar is to relate the training to potential jobs and careers in the discipline. Several companies from Oklahoma City will be on hand to demonstrate how they are incorporating these new technologies into the work they do for clients across Oklahoma. Participating companies include Boiling Point Media, Trifecta Communications, Viribus, Clevyr, SpringboardVR, and Wrist World, an augmented reality company using wristbands created by a group of Norman middle school students. Future Vision is an extension of techCenter, the technology focused conference that takes place during the deadCenter film festival. techCenter originally focused on the technologies disrupting the film and entertainment industries like VR, AR, and drones to explore how those
same technologies were being implemented across other business sectors. Future Vision will provide more of a deep dive into how those tools are used to create business solutions and how they are changing the way we tell stories. For those of you who have never experienced virtual reality, but want to try it out before the Future Vision seminar, there is an opportunity coming up on Oct. 25. The Science Museum of Oklahoma has a program for adults called SMO21 that allows adults to enjoy all of the awesome exhibits and galleries at the museum while sipping cocktails and mingling with other adults. For the SMO21 on Friday, Oct. 25, the museum is partnering with deadCenter Film to erect a Virtual Cinema, featuring the best virtual reality films and interactive games from the techCenter conference this past June. Storytelling will be around as long as the human race. The way those stories are told and how they are transmitted out into the world will continue to change and evolve year after year. I hope you will join us for this free seminar to see what’s happening next.

Arthritis Foundation hosts Bone Bash Gala More than 50 million Americans, including 300,000 children, have arthritis – and more than 800,000 live in Oklahoma. On Oct. 26, the Arthritis Foundation’s Bone Bash in Oklahoma City invites locals to dress up in their spookiest attire and spend the evening at the Sheraton Oklahoma City Downtown Hotel to raise awareness and funds for arthritis. This year, the Arthritis Foundation is honoring Leah Kline, her daughter Jasmine and her son Simon who all face Psoriatic Arthritis and have committed to raising awareness about this disease that affects adults and children of all ages. Leah Kline is navigating life with
a rheumatic disease—psoriatic arthritis. She and her husband Derik, who own a business together, have four children: Jasmyn, Caroline, Myra and Simon. As if it wasn’t enough that she is burdened with the disease, two of her young, vibrant children are as well. Jasmyn, 14, is a typical teen who loves music, her friends, her cell phone and being football manager of her local middle school. Simon, a typical 6-year-old and the baby of the family, loves cars, LEGO’s, his scooter and YouTube. But there is one thing that sets them apart from other kids their age—they both suffer daily with psoriatic arthritis like their mother. Although this is the burden
they carry, it does not define them. They are proud to turn a life of pain into a life of hope by sharing their story to raise awareness of the effects of arthritis and to help others who suffer from the debilitating disease. Leah and Jasmyn will share their story of strength and hope as the 2019 Oklahoma City Bone Bash honorees. Tickets cost $150 each and includes seated dinner, cocktail hour, premier silent auction, entertainment, music by DJ Cat Ouellette, guest speaker/honoree and costume contest. The event will be emceed by local news anchor Heather Holeman, who has her own story about arthritis to share as well.
All proceeds will support the Arthritis Foundation’s mission to find a cure for arthritis – which impacts one in four U.S. adults – and champion the fight against arthritis with life-changing information, advocacy, science and community support. “While the purpose of the Arthritis Foundation’s Bone Bash is to raise awareness and funds to find a cure for arthritis and support our local and national arthritis community, it’s also an important moment to celebrate the strides we’ve made towards a cure,” said Nick Samarripas, local leadership board chair.

Putnam City North students form Psychology Club I
t is creative, fascinating, complex and mysterious. The field and study of the human mind, psychology, began in the year of 1879. The study of psychology is still a fairly new science compared to a science like chemistry or physics that have been around for hundreds of years. There is still so much more we could learn and understand about the brain and how it functions in certain situations. Here at Putnam City North, students have the opportunity to take the AP Psychology class, but for the first time at North students have come together to create the Psychology Club. Students interested in psychology are urged to join the club to find out how the

brain functions the way it does and why you feel certain emotions in different situations. The founder and president of the club is Taleaha Lee. “I ... wanted to create something that everyone could be a part of if they can't take the class,” Lee said. “I thought it would be a good thing to do so everyone can be involved.” Finals are a stressful time for students and teachers. Finding ways to make that process easier can make that time of the
year a lot less overwhelming for everyone at North. “We’re going to educate students on how to manage their stress,” Psychology teacher Brook Fonzi said. “When it comes to finals time, we are going to teach some stress management and study techniques.” The brain works in very complex and mysterious ways. Psychology helps us understand why the brain responds the way it does. “I think it was a really interesting topic that really explains why we think the way we think or act the way that we act,” Lee said. “I feel like it is very interesting to see how psychology plays a part of everything.” Many students struggle with mental health these days. The
Psychology Club gives those students the opportunity to improve their mental health. “I was interested in Psychology Club because I really enjoy learning new things about the brain and how it functions,” Senior Gracen Boulware said. “I am also really big into mental health, so when I heard we were going to have aspects of the club that educated and advocated for mental health I wanted to be a part of that.” The founder and sponsor hope to improve the mental lives of students with the new club. “Here at North we are going to try to bring activities from the club to the school,” Fonzi said. “We’re going to try and educate the whole school

They performed CPR and stabilized the citizen, saving her life. Bruno spent several nights in the hospital before being released and returning to her normal life. “It’s interesting because a few weeks ago, I heard one of them say, ‘It was all just my duty’ and it’s really more than that,” said Mayor Steve Goetzinger. “We shouldn’t overlook that type of service.” Bruno and fire chief Kevin Boydston presented the men with the Nichols Hills Fire Department Life Saving Award.

OSU Performing Arts Center is spectacular
A
stonishing, extravagant, marvelous •
Walking into the new Oklahoma State McKnight Center for the performing arts last weekend was an experience for which I was not prepared. As an OSU alum, I have always loved the school and thought the campus was beautiful. However, this stunning new building looked like something you might find in New York City. Actually New York City was in Stillwater
In MY Opinion by VICKI CLARK GOURLEY vicki@okcfriday.com in the form of the New York Philharmonic orchestra. The pre-concert reception dazzled the mind with sunlight streaming in through
the floor to ceiling windows reflecting rainbows off the shimmering table clothes and free-standing glass book shelves laden with glasses of red or white wine or water. Fabulous planning Ann and Burns Hargis. Thank you to Billie and Ross McKnight for making this dream come to life with your endowment. It took literally dozens of founding donors, sponsors, patrons and annual Giving Fund donors, many of whom are Fridaylanders, to bring the OSU arts renaissance to life.

every way you can imagine, he’s one of the "loyalest" of all the Aggies I know. Burns has the business experience of being the No. 2 guy of the biggest state domiciled financial company, the Bank of Oklahoma. He has the legal experience of having been a partner in one of the state’s largest and most prestigious law firms. He has the communicative experience and skill of being a co-host of one of the longest running public service Television programs in Oklahoma. He is widely sought as speaker and emcee of major public, civic and philanthropic events. He has an outstanding sense of humor. He has had very top roles as a civic leader of the biggest city in the state. He has been Chairman of the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber, the state’s top civic and economic development group, and he has served as President of the Rotary Club of Oklahoma City, the state’s largest civic club and the world’s fifth largest Rotary club. He has education experience as a member, and Chairman, of the OSU Board of Regents. He has a beautiful and outstanding wife who would be a real credit to the Oklahoma State

The Best of J. Leland Gourley Reprinted from OKC FRIDAY University community. He has the benefit that helps all men -- a taste of defeat -- when he ran for Governor. That defeat was Oklahoma’s loss. He has a Doctor’s degree. For some reason that really makes the faculty feel better. He probably could win the approval of the faculty, which seems to be important to academia. Other public universities in Oklahoma have fared well by selecting Presidents who give a larger perspective than some who have risen through the ranks of professional education alone. ••• There you have it! I’m proud to have made the original suggestion. OSU will prosper with Burns. I am also happy to have been the first to publicly suggest Glen Johnson for Chancellor of Higher Education.

From Café to Concert Hall This season the Brightmusic Chamber Ensemble celebrates the contribution of women to the vast body of classical music, featuring a work by a woman composer in each program. On Nov. 12 at 7:30 p.m. the ensemble will present its second chamber music concert of the 2019-20 season, this season’s Jeannette Sias Memorial Concert, at St. Paul’s Cathedral, 127 N.W. 7th St. near downtown Oklahoma City. From Café to Concert Hall offers a trio of trios: two Romantic-period works and one contemporary piece that quickly became the composer’s most popular work.
The program will include a work by one of the most distinguished women composers of the 19th century, Clara Schumann, wife of German composer Robert Schumann. The remaining regular season concerts will include works by Mozart, Haydn, Tchaikovsky and the other Schumann. The ensemble will be joined this season by two guest artists: pianist Stephen Buck in Concert 3 on Jan. 21, 2020 and French horn player Adam Unsworth in Concert 4 on March 3, 2020. Buck is Visiting Professor of Music at
the Conservatory of Music at the State University of New York, and Unsworth is Professor of Horn at the University of Michigan. Then in June 2020, the ensemble will present its annual summer chamber music festival, programs and dates to be announced later in the season. Brightmusic Chamber Ensemble presents fine classical chamber music in the acoustically-rich St. Paul’s Cathedral. Free parking is available just south of the cathedral.

Men wear pink supporting breast cancer awareness Breast cancer affects everyone, both women and men. While it’s more uncommon, men can get breast cancer too. But even if they’re not the ones afflicted, the disease can still take its toll. Just ask any man who has witnessed a female loved one battle breast cancer. That’s why the American Cancer Society is recruiting men to fight breast cancer through the Real Men Wear Pink campaign. They have assembled a distinguished group of male community leaders who are determined to raise awareness and money to save lives.
The Integris Cancer Institute is proud to have two such men leading the cause. Joe Holcomb, the Director of Oncology Wellness at the Integris Cancer Institute and Samer Hassan, M.D, an oncologist at the Integris Cancer Institute pledge to wear pink every day through October to raise money and awareness about breast cancer. The Real Men Wear Pink initiative leads up to the Making Strides of Oklahoma City walk scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 19 in the Wheeler District, 1701 S. Western Ave. The Integris team consists of over 200 participants and counting.

Take another look at Stranger Danger By Walker Moore The Baptist Messenger Stranger Danger was something I actively taught my children. I instructed them, “Don’t take candy from strangers; Don’t get into a car with strangers,” etc. I even role played this for them. I would dress up in a trench coat (I read too many Mad Magazines as a child). I would approach them with candy and try to lure them into my car. They learned to yell “NO!” and run away. Now, I know most predators don’t wear trench coats any more, but I was trying to teach them a skill set of “what if” situational responses. When our son Caleb was somewhere between 4 and 5 years of age, we had a scary incident. We had taken a youth group for spring break to Laguna Beach Christian Camp in Panama City, Fla. All of our youth had gone out early on the beach and divided into small groups to go through their morning Bible studies. One of the groups had asked us if they could take Caleb with them and make him a part of their team. Our sons have always enjoyed hanging out with the older students, so we let Caleb go with them. About an hour later, an elderly couple pulled into our camp. As their car rolled to a stop, the back door opened, and out jumped Caleb, waving good-bye to them. I asked the couple what was going on? They said they were driving down the road when they saw this small child walking backwards with his hand up in
the air and thumb extended in the well-known “hitchhiker pose.” “We were concerned about this child on the side of the road, so we pulled over, and he said he needed a ride to the camp,” they said. I thanked the couple for taking care of him. Pulling Caleb aside I asked, “What were you thinking getting into a car with some strangers?” He assured me that he had interviewed them, and they had grandchildren of their own. Then he wanted me to know that he had never hitched hiked before and wanted to experience what it was like. So much for role-playing Stranger Danger. What is funny? This generation that has been taught not to get into car with strangers are now holding up their hand, with cell phone tightly clasped, waiting for a stranger who comes and picks them up. They call it Uber, which is nothing but trying to find a stranger who is driving around the middle of the night to come and pick you up. Then there is Grubhub where you call a stranger to go pick up food for you and bring it to your house. And then there is Airbnb where, if your roommate is gone for the night, you can rent out their room to a … stranger. On my last trip to the Middle East, guess how I got around? I had an app on my phone where I found a stranger who would pick me up and take me to a stranger’s home. The directions on how to get into the stranger’s house were to go up to the second floor, lean out the window, and there I would see a pipe running out of an air conditioner. There will be a rock sitting on top of the pipe. Pick up the rock
and your key will be there. Our flight was delayed, and we found ourselves at 4:30 in the morning getting out of a stranger’s car, walking into a dark apartment building, climbing up two flights of stairs and leaning out of a window to look for the key under the rock. Guess what? We found it, and the apartment was very nice. I have been thinking about renting my two boys’ room out since they are married and gone. If they call and said, “Dad, guess what. We are coming home for Christmas,” I am afraid I might have to tell them that I have their room rented out to a nice couple from China during those dates. But I know a good website that have strangers renting out their room. One distinction of the Christian life is our treatment to strangers and those who are in need. Recently, I went to visit a good friend of mine. As I entered the house, I was introduced to a stranger. It was a lady whose home was destroyed in the floods that we had in Tulsa this year. My friend picked up the lady and moved her into his home. He and his family helped to find and fix up another house where she could live. They did all this at no cost to the lady in need. That reminds me of what the Scriptures says: “For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in.” (Matt. 25:35). As you teach your children Stranger Danger, don’t let them be a stranger to the One who was born in a manger.
