The Oklahoma City Public School District is conducting an online-survey as the launch of its Pathway to Greatness Project, a collaborative effort to disrupt the status quo by redesigning OKCPS for the future. A set of public meetings will follow in early November. In addition, three groups of leaders have been harnessed to work together to “reinvent” OKCPS. The plan is to have a report ready to be presented to the Board of Education in March 2019. The goal of the Pathway to Greatness Project is to align the district’s resources to provide equitable learning opportunities for all students enabling them to achieve the district’s vision of every student graduating ready to fulfill their unique purpose in a healthy, vibrant community, Superintendent Dr. Sean McDaniel said. “Trends over time show that our enrollment is declining slightly and will likely level-off in the next couple of years,” he said. “This means our share of state funding will decline, even if the overall funding level increases again.” “A comparison of the number of students we have enrolled and the amount of space in our school buildings shows that we are maintaining a lot of instructional space that we aren't using, a choice that is directing resources to facilities instead of to our students.” To accomplish this, the district is introducing the Pathway to Greatness project, which McDaniel said is the next step in the journey which began with The Great Conversation and led to the district's strategic plan, The Great Commitment. “The Pathway Project (P2G) will be informed by a thorough assessment of our facilities, a detailed demographic study and

Oklahoma City helps keep the water flowing in The Village By Mike W. Ray Staff Writer More than a mile and a half of new water mains will be constructed in The Village. The City of Oklahoma City is replacing 9,480 linear feet of 6- and 8-inch

Infant Crisis Services

Bingo for Babies The Young Professional's Board of Infant Crisis Services held the fifth annual Bingo for Babies at the Oklahoma City Golf and Country Club. This year's event hosted more than 400 people and raised more than $130,000 to feed and diaper needy babies and toddlers. Callie Merritt, Julie Shelley, Whitney Rainbolt and Laura Ernst enjoy the event.

Inadequate access to diapers can have negative and long-lasting consequences on both the baby and their family. Babies who remain in a soiled diaper for too long can be exposed to potential health risks, and most childcare centers require parents to provide a day’s worth of disposable diapers. If you don’t have an adequate supply of diapers, childcare is hard to find, which makes obtaining (and keeping) employment even more challenging.

JUDGE From Page 1

As the associate, Haynes will “backstop” Krahl if the latter, for example, takes a vacation or has a scheduling conflict or might need to recuse himself from a case. “I will be available to step in if needed.” Haynes has been the presiding municipal judge in Spencer since 1977, and subsequently he also became the presiding municipal judge in Valley Brook, Forrest Park, Luther and Geary, as well as the special municipal judge in Choctaw. In addition, he was a special municipal judge for Oklahoma City in 1990-95. Haynes is deft at juggling his judicial duties. The various

Residents in the affected areas “should expect little to no interruption in their water service except when we cut off the valves that serve their immediate water lines, in order to connect them to other lines,” McClintock said. “This should be short and temporary. They should experience no issues in their water service during the project itself.” The Village was founded in 1950, but receives its drinking water from Oklahoma City, which also maintains the water delivery system in the community.

municipal courts meet on different days and at different times, he said. “Most of my courts are held at night or in the afternoon.” His tenure with multiple communities “speaks volumes” about his qualifications “and the excellence with which he performs his job,” Nichols Hills Mayor E. Peter Hoffman Jr. said of Haynes. “It’s a testament to his character.” The judge established a general civil trial practice in Oklahoma City 30 years ago that concentrates on commercial, business and employment issues. “Most of my private practice is service to the municipalities,” he said. The El Reno native graduated from Oklahoma State University in 1973 with a bachelor’s degree and completed course work toward a master’s; he received his law degree from

Oklahoma City University in 1976. Haynes was admitted to the Oklahoma bar in 1977, the U.S. Supreme Court bar in 1980, and can appear before the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals and all three U.S. District Courts in Oklahoma. He has taught at OCU, OSU, the University of Oklahoma and Redlands Community College. Haynes also is a pilot and a member of the Fraternal Order of the Quiet Birdmen, an esoteric international association of flyers that was founded by World War I aviators. Its members have included Charles Lindbergh, the first pilot to make a non-stop solo transatlantic flight between North America and the European mainland, and Neil Armstrong, the first man to step on the Moon.

Deer Creek looks to finish season on positive note By Jason Jewell Sports Editor Growth at any level of existence – whether it be in a job, relationship or other endeavor – comes with both excitement and challenges. After the initial excitement of moving up to the state’s highest class, the Deer Creek football team has also endured its share of challenges over three seasons in Class 6A, Division II. The Antlers have a chance to end the

2018 season on a positive note over the next two weeks, starting with a win at PC West on Friday. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. at Putnam City Stadium. “I think we’re progressing pretty well,” coach Wade Standley said. “There’s always an adjustment (moving up a class), but our guys are continuing to improve every week. “We’ve got great kids,” the coach continued. “They are buying into our system and working very hard.” Deer Creek (2-6, 1-

4, District 6AII-1) held off Putnam City, 14-7, last Friday to pick up its first district win. PC West (1-7, 1-4), meanwhile, is coming

off a 48-0 loss to No. 1 Stillwater last week. Both teams sit in the bottom half of the district standings and unlikely to make the

playoffs. The injury bug has bitten Deer Creek all season, but 11 starters have missed action over the last three weeks due to injuries. “We’ve been hit really hard by injuries this season,” Standley said. “It has allowed some of the younger kids to step up and get some valuable playing time.” Quarterback Gavin Houska leads the Antlers offense. “As just a sophomore, he’s handled the offense pretty well,” the coach said.

His favorite targets have been receiver Gary Burright and tight end Axel Welch. Defensive leaders include Parker Johnson, Dylan Beers, Ben Lykes and Paxton Gary. Against PC West, Deer Creek eyes a fairly simple game plan. “On offense, we want to be able to sustain drives and not turn the ball over,” Standley said. “On defense, we need to play assignment football, limit their bigplays and create turnovers.”

FOOTBALL | WEEK 8 ROUNDUP

Chargers upend Kingfisher for district lead Top-ranked Heritage Hall secured at least a piece of a district championship last Friday night with a 35-27 victory at No. 5 Kingfisher.

Wildlife Comes Back Home

he independent film Wildlife will host its Oklahoma premiere on November 9 at Rodeo Cinema in Stockyard City. Wildlife is the directorial debut of actor Paul Dano. It was filmed on location in Oklahoma. Wildlife is based on the 1990 novel by Richard Ford about a man who takes a temporary job fighting an uncontrolled forest fire when he is fired from his job as a golf pro. The film primarily focuses on the wife and teenage son that are left behind to fend for themselves. Wildlife is the first film directed by Paul Dano. Dano is a Golden Globe nominated actor who has been working since 1998, but broke out in the smash hit Little Miss Sunshine as the awkward older brother. He followed that with a starring role opposite Daniel Day Lewis in Oscar winner There Will Be Blood. Since then, he has starred in more than 20 films, including 12 Years a Slave and Swiss Army Man. Dano co-wrote the screenplay with his girlfriend, Zoe Kazan. Kazan is an actress and screenwriter who recently starred in the independent comedy The Big Sick, wrote and starred in Ruby

Sparks, and was Emmy nominated for her role in Olive Kitterage. Zoe Kazan’s family is Hollywood royalty. Both her mother and father have been Oscar nominated as screenwriters: Robin Swicord for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Nicolas Kazan for Reversal of Fortune. And, her grandfather, Elia Kazan, is the Oscar winning director of On the Waterfront, A Streetcar Named Desire, and Gentleman’s Agreement. Wildlife stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Carey Mulligan. Gyllenhaal was Oscar nominated for Brokeback Mountain and Golden Globe nominated for Nightcrawler and Love & Other Drugs. He has starred in 50 films, including Donnie Darko, Zodiac, Prisoners, and Everest. The Gyllnehaal family is also well established in the business. His mother Naomi Foner is the Oscar nominated writer of Running On Empty and produced the daytime television mainstay The Electric Company. His

father, Stephen Gyllenhaal, is an Emmy nominated director. And, his sister, Maggie Gyllenhaal, is a very popular actress who was Oscar nominated for Crazy Heart. Cary Mulligan is a British actress who was Oscar and Golden Globe nominated for her star turn in An Education. She has starred in several BBC television series and a wide range of great films, including The Great Gatsby, Drive, and Inside Llewyn Davis. Wildlife was predominantly filmed in Oklahoma utilizing the Oklahoma Film Rebate Program. Production began in November, 2016, in Enid with additional filming in Wakita, Ponca City, Hennessey, and Osage County. The production spent more than $2 million in Oklahoma, creating nearly 300 local jobs. The Oklahoma premiere of Wildlife on November 9 will happen simultaneously at Rodeo Cinema in Stockyard City and Circle Cinema in Tulsa. The two theaters share the same owners group, which provides them more leverage to attract and book great film premieres like Wildlife. For movie times and dates, please visit rodeocinema.org and look under coming soon.

Odyssey Project brings to light the challenges of homelessness On Saturday, Oct. 13, nearly 200 Oklahomans convened in one of Downtown Oklahoma City’s iconic buildings, The Pioneer Building. The space was raw, the brick exposed, as the space is mid-renovation, and it set the tone for a night rooted in vulnerability and transformation. The Odyssey Project, a City Care event, is in its second year and is a storytelling event with a powerful theme: the best journeys are those that lead us home. “By the time we all leave, it will be with a common goal to see the barriers faced by our city’s most vulnerable for what they are—community issues, requiring a community response,” said Jill DeLozier, event chairwoman, in her opening remarks. She was joined on stage by Dave Morris, who captured the story

of the night in film. “At the end of the day, what we all need to realize is, we are all humans. Everybody has an individual story,” Morris said. Councilwoman Meg Salyer was joined by special guest, Crystal M., a ReMerge graduate who shared her powerful story of redemption and restoration with the crowd. Crystal took Councilwoman Salyer and the event attendees on a journey, beautifully captured by Dave Morris, through her past, revealing the different places she lived, the start of the domestic abuse that drove her to the streets and the story of redemption that began in lockup at the Oklahoma County Jail. To view the film in its entirety, please visit CityCareOKC.org. When asked about how she felt being in the jail to shoot the film,

Salyer said, “It made me feel lonely and frightened, and there was a complete lack of privacy. The fear I felt for the lack of privacy and what’s taken away from you, is just extraordinary.” Salyer continued, “The invisibility of people…we need to change that. I had a friend help me learn to interact with the homeless. This isn’t new—what we know is Crystal had to make the decision. We can be in place to help someone when they are ready…We have a long way to go, but I think the community is coming with us.” Crystal is now thriving and spent her first Mother’s Day in six years with her children. She hopes to dedicate her life to helping others. “Maybe my story will help others tell their story,” reflected Crystal in a

fireside chat following the film with Councilwoman Salyer and Adam Luck, CEO of City Care. “We have to do everything we can to end these cycles of poverty and incarceration…or we are participating in their perpetuation.” Luck said. Rachel Freeman, City Care COO, concluded the night with a powerful question, “What good is Oklahoma City’s renaissance if it’s not for everyone?” City Care inspires those willing to look social injustice and extreme poverty in the face and empowers them to do whatever it takes to create change. If you are interested in understanding more about the issues facing the homeless in Oklahoma City and how you can create change, please visit CityCareOKC.org.

All meetings are open to anyone who would like to attend. The November meetings are set for: • Nov. 5, 6 p.m., Star Spencer High School. • Nov. 6, 7 p.m., NW Classen High School. • Nov. 7 , 6 p.m., US Grant High School. • Nov. 8, 6 p.m., US Grant High School, presented in Spanish. • Nov. 12, 6 p.m., Douglass High School. The three groups of leaders who are working on Pathway to Greatness include educators, community leaders and project planners. The Trailblazers, a team of educators, is reviewing research to answer important questions about what the OKCPS of the future should look like. They are addressing such concerns as which grade levels should share buildings, what core and specialty programming should the district offer and what does it mean to be a great school for the OKCPS community. The team of community leaders, the Navigators, are building relationships across

the city. Their role will be to analyze options and select the path forward, McDaniel said. They will be reviewing the recommendations of the Trailblazers and the data on the comprehensive planning criteria as it becomes available. A team of project planners, which includes staff and district vendor, ADG, a firm that specializes in assessing facilities and doing demographic and other data analysis, are working together to connect all the dots and ensure that the teams are truly taking a comprehensive view of all the data points and other factors that will ultimately lead to the reinvention of OKCPS. “The experts we contracted to help with this project will provide three potential solutions for our facilities needs in January 2019 and there will be multiple opportunities for open community feedback,” McDaniel said. “After incorporating the wisdom of our stakeholders, the Navigators panel of community stakeholders will consider the revised options and select one to recommend to me, the superintendent. We then expect the board to consider a recommendation from me on the Pathway Project in March 2019.” Superintendent McDaniel encouraged the public to be involved. “I hope our families and community will join OKCPS on the Pathway to Greatness, as we begin the important but painstaking work to identify inefficiencies and inequities across our district that will allow us to realign and reinvest precious resources into our classrooms to meet the unique needs of our students across the district — ultimately providing them with access to the educational opportunities, facilities and other programming that all of our children need and deserve.”

Casady’s reimagined entrance and enhanced security initiatives work in combination to keep students safe, while continuing to provide an open and inviting environment for guests and visitors.

CASADY From Page 1 weeks last spring. The reimagined entrance and enhanced security initiatives work in combination to keep students safe, while continuing to provide an open and inviting environment for Casady guests and visitors. “We are grateful to all of the alumni and friends who gave generously to this important security initiative,” said Nathan L. Sheldon, head of Casady School. “Safety has been, and will always be, front of mind when we make any campus improvements.” “A Grand Welcome adds a layer of security and provides an entrance our entire community can be proud of, while maintaining the charm and beauty of our campus. We are thankful to everyone who made this new entrance a reality, because ultimately,

they made the safety of our students a priority.” In addition to better control visitor and guest campus access, delivery and commercial vehicles will no longer be part of the traffic flow at the Pennsylvania entrance, Arbeitman said. A new delivery entrance on the east side of campus will accommodate those vehicles, removing them from the internal campus and away from students. Another new security enhancement is all faculty and staff wear identification when they are on campus, and several buildings are now locked during the day. A Grand Welcome to Casady project is part of the school’s campus master plan designed in 2016. Construction began in June following graduation services for the Class of 2018. The highlight of the new entrance is an Alice Aycock sculpture titled

“Twister Grande.” Aycock is an internationally-lauded artist who has exhibited in museums and galleries in the U.S., Europe and Japan. “Twister Grande” is from The Turbulence Series, Aycock’s 2017 exhibition at the Marlborough Gallery in New York. This is the second major outdoor art sculpture on display at Casady School, Arbeitman said. A Jaume Plensa sculpture was dedicated in 2015. “Casady School’s holistic education focuses on mind, body, and spirit, and as such values exposing our students to the arts,” said Matthew Cloud, director of development. “‘Twister Grande,’ which was generously donated by an anonymous friend of Casady, reinforces the school’s commitment to the arts. Ms. Aycock’s sculpture is the perfect piece to welcome our Cyclones – past, present and future.”

Freeman takes good care of our money OKLAHOMA COUNTY TREASURER Butch Freeman started serving in 1994 and the reason he has been re-elected every time since is there has never been even a hint of scandal or wrong doing with him in charge of the money. Freeman has always committed to the highest level of transparency. When he sents out our county tax bills, eh lists where every dollar is going. Seventy percent goes into the educational system. Your tax bill shows your local school tax, the vo-tech district and it also

shows how much goes to your local municipality. Freeman started that before the legislaturebefore the legislature was convinced to make it a state law for all 77 counties.

With a Journalism degree and a Masters of Business Adminstration from the University of Missouri, he is uniquely qualified as county treasurer and able to communicate with the public. Freeman is a retired Air Force colonel with 23-years of service. His last Air Force assignment was as a comptroller at Tinker Air Force Base, where he was responsible for budgeting and accounting of $4 billilon in annually appropriated funds.

When the newsmen called me the other night to ask me about the reported taped recoding equipment in the office of Governor (J. Howard) Edmondson, I had three alternatives: One — I could tell a lie and deny the tape machine existed or that I knew anything about it. Two — I could be evasive or say “no comment.” Three — I could tell the truth with the logical and honorable accompanying explanation. Choice “one” was no choice at all and was not even considered by me. In the first I’ve always been against lying and smoking. In the second place, with these sharp, young new breed of journalists, they’ll catch you if you lie. (If you doubt that, consider some of those Watergate witnesses who are now going before the world and confessing they committed perjury earlier in the coverup attempts.) “Choice Two” also was unsavory. No matter how much legitimate right any person has to say “no comment” with the mood of the country today, there is an inevitable dark cloud of suspicion hanging over the head of the no commenter. The public invariably thinks the misdeed is worse when withheld than the actual deed itself, no matter how gross. So, without hesitation, to the first of several newsmen who called me, I just told them the whole story like it happened, offering complete explanation and the philosophy of the plan. As the Governor’s staff chief, I personally ordered the equipment installed.

The Best of Just One Man by Founder of okc friday

You need to remember one thing about that. Governor Edmondson went into office in the midst of all kinds of scandals and rumors of scandals in various places in state government. He went in on an aggressive reform platform and had a clear mandate from the people to clean up state government. It turned out state government wasn’t as corrupt as even we thought it was. But at the time the tape machine was installed, it was done with the idea in mind that some evidence could probably be gathered with it. We had thought some of the people in politics for profit (on the inside or outside) had become pretty brazen and might show their hands. We wanted to be ready. Governor Edmondson, as the Tulsa County Attorney, had been instrumental in sending seven public officials to prison for corruption. He, and I, hated crooked public officials and felt committed to do something to clean up the situation. Joe Cannon says now he didn’t know about the bug. I could be mistaken about that. It might have been the Governor’s other legal aide, Sam Crossland. I do know I got legal advice on the matter I think our decision was right and honorable and would do the same thing in the same circumstances.

British born Jose Freede becomes an Oklahoma treasure

Every positive word imaginable has been used to describe Josephine “Jose” Freede, and they are all deserved. Honorary Chair Lee Allan Smith and the OKC Orchestra League will recognize Jose by inducting her into the Maestro’s Circle at the 4th Annual Maestro’s Ball tonight. This is the 70th Anniversary of the League. Jose served as its President in 1973-74. Jose is a native of Plymouth, England. She received her Charter Society Degree in Physiotherapy before training at the Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopedic Hospital in England. It was at the hospital where she met her future husband, Dr. Henry Freede, an orthopedic surgeon. After the war, they corresponded for a couple of years before Jose came to the United States and they were married in New York City. She became a U.S. citizen in 1954. Studying for her citizenship test sparked an interest in politics and civic work that has remained with her throughout her life. Oklahoma City gained an extraordinary citizen, who became known as the “million dollar volunteer,” referring to the money she has raised for worthy causes here. A few of her many honors are: The Oklahoma Hall of Fame inducted Jose in 2002. Oklahoma City University and Oklahoma Christian University have both presented her with honorary doctoral degrees. Her outstanding work as a fundraiser and generous philanthropy made possible the Henry J. Freede Wellness and Activity Center at Oklahoma City University, the Freede Theatre at the Civic Center Music Hall, Integris Medical Center’s Freede Liver Clinic, Oklahoma Christian’s Freede Administration Center, in honor of her late husband, Dr. Henry J. Freede and the Jose Freede Centennial Tower. The word philanthropist is an English derivative of the Greek word philanthropos, meaning “loving people.” A self-described “perfectionist,” Jose Freede has accomplished so much in the world of volunteerism and philanthropy in Oklahoma City because she genuinely does love people.

Congratulations Jose, on a well deserved honor,

The Harding Charter Preparatory High School Fine Arts Department raised over $1,000 for both of the school’s visual and performing arts programs with its second annual Fall Festival. The schools’ hallways were filled with fairgoers who were treated with wares from over a dozen vendors along with four Harding Charter Prep students who enticed attendees at their booths. Those students were Nathan Carr, woodworking; Ali Jaililad, photography; Samaya Rosario, visual art; Sania Charania, visual art; and Nicholas Onema, cartoon/visual art.

This annual Fall Festival has a two-fold purpose: to showcase students’ talent and to raise funds for the Fine Arts Department. Besides student visual arts on display, the drama I class performed a class production along with students presenting oratory speeches. Additionally a student string quartet provided entertainment at the event. The crowd was also treated with food from the food truck, El Kiosko Cafe, featuring Mexican and Caribbean food.

This past fall, the Gaither Vocal Band celebrated the release of its brand new recording, “We Have This Moment,” produced by famed country and gospel music performer and studio musician Gordon Mote. The recording is a musical snapshot of a special season for this lauded quintet, featuring Gaither, Wes Hampton, Adam Crabb,

Todd Suttles and Reggie Smith, the newest addition to the iconic group. Year after year, Bill Gaither has brought the Homecoming Tour into cities worldwide, performing to packed houses with collective attendance figures exceeding a million people and being ranked among the top concerts for tickets sold worldwide in any music genre during the past two decades. Each concert showcases gospel music's finest talent and draws new listeners with every city. Joining The Gaither Vocal Band for this special evening will be talented female vocalist Charlotte Ritchie and powerful male vocalist Gene McDonald, as well as guitarist and comedian, Kevin Williams. Gaither said he continues to be delighted by audiences' response to the concerts, now more than 40 years after he quit his day job as a teacher: “I've always said it all starts with a great song, and we are fortunate that each concert includes great songs that have stood the test of time. With all

the musical choices that are available now, there is still a special place for the joy and optimism that reside in Gospel music. Good news never gets old.” Named ASCAP's Songwriters of the Century, Bill and Gloria Gaither have written more than 700 popular gospel songs throughout their multi-decade career, including favorite standards “He Touched Me,” Because He Lives” and “There's Just Something About That Name.” Since 1992, when Gaither began recording, the celebrated Homecoming series of DVDs and CDs, most every volume has gone gold or platinum with sales totaling approximately 100 million volumes. The programs appear regularly on television networks around the world. The concert at Crossings will begin at 7 p.m. Complete information, including ticket pricing, is available by visiting www.gaither.com or www.premierproductions.com. Complete information, including group ticketing is also available by calling 1-855-484-1991.
