ALONE NO MORE McGee’s farm now a part of parks system A portion of the farm owned by the late Dean A. McGee will become a part of Oklahoma City’s park system.

The Oklahoma City Council voted to accept 130 acres of the former Lone Oak Farms in far northwest Oklahoma City for park and trail development.

Lone Oak LLC and Lone

Oak Farms Homeowners Association are conveying the land to the city.

Dean A. McGee was a geologist, civic leader and philanthropist. The area, west of Portland Avenue along Bluff Creek between NW 150 and NW 164 streets, is named for a beautiful, solitary oak tree.

“This is a great opportunity to make this beautiful,

rural land in Oklahoma City part of our public parklands,” said Ward 8 Councilman Mark Stonecipher. “The Parks and Recreation Department plans to interview local neighborhoods to develop a multi-use trail and playgrounds on the property that is a great fit for the type of natural environment along Bluff Creek.”

Cruising into the Maestro’s Ball Mack and Trish Winters and Julia and Dick Hunt with their 1947 Chrysler Windsor convertible which greeted guests at the Oklahoma City Orchestra League’s Maestro’s Ball.

“We wanted a car to put people in the 40s mood, which was the theme of the ball,” she said, “and I just happened to have one.” The car has been in Julia’s family since her dad, Slim Meyer, bought it new when automakers starting manufacturing cars again after World War II. It was the family’s second car and a go-to for parades in Pauls Valley where Julia grew up. Mack is Julia’s nephew and now is in possession of the vehicle. The car is still tagged, insured and road-worthy.

‘Beyond Glory’ coming to OKC

By Rose Lane Editor Award-winning playwright and stage and screen star, Stephen Lang says it is only fitting that he bring “Beyond Glory” to the City Rep Theatre and Oklahoma City Community College on Veterans Day, Sunday, Nov. 11.

“Oklahoma is really a prime location for the show as there are a lot of veterans,” Lang said.

“Beyond Glory” is a one-man show Stephen Lang in “Beyond Glory.”

See GLORY, Page 2

Construction has begun on bond-issue projects in The Village which were approved by voters earlier this year.

Crossland Heavy Contractors has started work on resurfacing Northland Road and Lakeside Drive. Existing asphalt paving is being shaved off prior to installation of a 2-inch-thick layer of durable new asphalt; however, progress was interrupted by rainfall and came to a halt when the milling machine broke down.

Lakeside is set to be resurfaced from Hefner Road to May Avenue, and Northland will be resurfaced between Lakeside and Britton Road, City Manager Bruce Stone

said. Approximately 15 miles of streets in The Village ultimately are planned to undergo resurfacing.

The biggest of those jobs is the total reconstruction of a mile-long section of Britton Road, between May Avenue and Pennsylvania Avenue.

The Oklahoma Department of Transportation is scheduled to solicit bids on that project in November and award a contract in December.

Construction is expected to start in January or February, after the holiday season.

In a related matter, City Engineer Bryan Coon was expected to finish the plans and specifications for sidewalks, traffic signals and drainage systems by the end See BONDS, Page 3

The Village Mayor Sonny Wilkinson, right, paid a visit recently to the office of one of his counterparts, Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt, left. “I wanted to talk about how our cities could be better neighbors,” Wilkinson said. “There’s a lot we could accomplish together for The Village and the neighborhoods in OKC that surround us.” The Village is “going through an unprecedented time” with projects arising from the $10.38 million capital improvements bond issue that voters approved in January, and Oklahoma City “continues to plan for growth and do awesome things” such as public transit improvements, expansion of its trails systems and economic development, Wilkinson said. “So wherever possible, we should find ways to partner on projects.”

adapted from Larry Smith’s stirring book. Lang will perform the show in the Visual and Performing Arts Theatre on OCCC’s campus at 2 p.m.

Commended for film portrayals of Babe Ruth to Stonewall Jackson to “Avatar’s” Col. Quaritch, Lang began his career on Broadway and maintained a managing role at the Actor’s Theatre. Lang’s stage adaptation of “Beyond Glory” enjoyed a celebrated run on Broadway and in Chicago’s Goodman Theater and he is now taking it coast to coast.

Beyond Glory presents the stories of eight veterans from World War II, Korea, and Vietnam, rendering firsthand accounts of valor which resulted in the nation’s highest military award, the Medal of Honor. As a tribute to fallen soldiers, Lang has also performed the show on military bases, and gave a command performance on the floor of Congress with Medal of Honor recipient Senator Daniel Inouye of Hawaii in attendance.

The oral histories of these eight men are brought to life through Lang’s commanding performance, with a backdrop of video screens which occasionally evoke the turmoil of combat. Lang subtly moves through each man’s story with a

slight alteration of posture and vocal coloring to suggest a new personality.

Lang said the show is representative of being responsible for his own career, rather than sitting around and waiting for the phone to ring.

“I have ownership in where and when I want to do it,” he said And, the material had a very “profound effect” upon the actor.

“It just got inside me,” Lang said.

“I heard the voices of these men very clearly.”

The themes demonstrate the need to take responsibility for a situation.

Men who are not natural leaders are stepping up into leadership roles.

As an actor, “Beyond Glory” is an “absolute challenge,” he said. For 80 minutes, Lang said he “inhabits” these characters.

Lang has been performing the show for 15 years. At times, he said he has to take a break from it.

This particular tour will include 15 shows in seven states.

After the show, Lang said he will come out to the lobby to meet attendees.

“I put everything I’ve got into (‘Beyond Glory’),” he said. “It is the summation of me as an actor.”

“Beyond Glory” is rated PG-13 due to adult situations and language. For ticket information, call the Oklahoma City Community College’s Visual and Performing Arts Center Theater at 682-7579 or visit www.cityrep.com.

of October, Stone said.

Blueprints indicate 41,000 linear feet (7.75 miles) of sidewalks will be constructed along nine city streets.

New traffic signalization is set to be installed at Britton Road and Pennsylvania Avenue and at Lakeside and May. Both are entirely new systems with camera equipment for traffic signal control (i.e. no magnetic loops buried in the pavement).

These cameras tie into a WiFi network for monitoring at The Village Police Department communications center.

A flashing left-turn arrow at the intersection of Britton Road and Ridgeview Drive is on the itinerary and a pedestrian crossing is envisioned at May and Britton.

Drainage systems scheduled for improvements are Sunnymeade Place, from north of Manchester Drive to

Ridgeview Drive; Northland Road, where it turns east toward Sunrise Boulevard; behind houses on Whitehaven Road and Sunnymeade, between Manchester and Ridgeview; and in the vicinity of the Love’s headquarters at Hefner and Penn.

Residents were invited to a public meeting earlier this week to discuss additional improvements to the city’s public parks.

A recent online poll showed that items of interest to several residents include walking/running/bike paths, playground equipment, an offleash dog park, tennis courts, exercise equipment, basketball courts, soccer fields, lawn games, nature trails, a swimming pool and more splash pads, picnic areas, obstacle courses, shaded/covered picnic tables and benches, better BBQ facilities, a skate park, and

other amenities.

The Village voters approved a $10.38 million bond issue on Jan. 9 that include $8.5 million for improvements to 26 streets, traffic signals at three major intersections, and sidewalks for pedestrians, plus $1.88 million for improvements and recreational facilities at half a dozen municipal parks.

Sports Weekly FOOTBALL | WEEK 10 PREVIEW: TITANS AT IRISH • 7 P.M. FRIDAY • PRIBIL STADIUM

McGuinness faces Carl Albert for District 5A-2 title

By Jason Jewell Sports Editor As many prognosticators predicted before the season started, McGuinness hosts Carl Albert this Friday for the District 5A-2 championship.

Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. at Clement E. Pribil Stadium.

First-year Irish coach Bryan Pierce doesn’t shy away from the significance of their Week 10 showdown with the twotime defending state champions.

“This is the same Carl Albert team,” the coach said. “It’s a testament to their program to keep winning like they do. “ No. 5 McGuinness (8-1, 6-0) held off eighth-ranked Guthrie for a 28-20 road win last week.

The Irish have won eight straight games since a season-opening loss to Del City.

“Del City really had our number,” Pierce said. “We were putting in some new pieces and things kind of snowballed on us.

WEEK 10 SCHEDULE Friday, November 2 Greenhill at Casady Choctaw at Deer Creek Mannford at Heritage Hall John Marshall at Kingfisher Carl Albert at McGuinness Mount St. Mary at Perkins Tryon Owasso at PC North Note: All games start at 7 p.m., unless noted.

“But we decided what work we needed to put in to get better and put together a nice stretch.”

No. 1 Carl Albert (90, 6-0), meanwhile, cruised to 53-6 win

against Lawton Eisehnower last week.

A key to a win Friday night, Pierce said, is to control the line of scrimmage.

“We need to move the ball on the

ground,” the coach said. “We have a good offensive line and a good tailback and quarterback.”

Tailback Dominic Richardson is among the state’s top rushers this season and ran for 221 yards and touchdown against Guthrie.

The offensive line, which has been a work-in-progress this season, is anchored by guard Charlie Covington and Carter Larson at center.

“We’ve had to kind of popcorn piece the line together,” Pierce

said. “I don’t think we’ve had the same lineup in any game all season. We rotate six or seven guys.”

The Irish defense also has its hands full in taming Carl Albert’s offense.

“Our defense needs to hold up against their attack and settle in,” Pierce said.

Linebacker Evan Ille has been a “breakout player” on defense, blocking a pair of punts. Brennan Walker is also a “menace” from his defensive end position, Pierce said.

FOOTBALL | WEEK 9 SPOTLIGHT: ANTLERS 38, PATRIOTS 14

Deer Creek seals win with 4th quarter rally

By Jason Jewell Sports Editor WARR ACRES – Behind a big fourthquarter rally, Deer Creek pulled away for a 38-14 district win over PC West last Friday night at Putnam City Stadium.

“I was really proud of the way our guys played tonight,” coach

Wade Standley said after the game. “We’re playing a ton of sophomores and junior so I’m excited for the future.”

The Antlers (3-6, 24 District 6AII-1) built a 17-14 lead at halftime, before blowing the game open with three touchdowns in the fourth quarter.

Tailback Dylan Beers scored on a 4yard run in the opening seconds of the quarter. He added a 1yard plunge and a 46yard scamper for the final margin with 7:41 left in the game.

“Dylan plays nearly every snap on defense and then comes in to score on offense,”

Deer Creek’s T.J. Carter (21) tries to escape the PC West defense during last Friday’s football game. The Antlers pulled away for a 38-14 win.

Standley said.

In the first half, PC West touched up Deer Creek for two big-play touchdowns to cut the lead to three points by halftime.

Deer Creek’s Garrick Johnson (56) knocks down a pass by PC West quarterback O’Neal Cotton.

“They’re very athletic and ran a bit different offense than we were expecting,” Standley said. “They outflanked us a couple times but I’m happy with our defense in the second half.”

Deer Creek’s first score came about midway through the first quarter, when Beers split the defense from eight yards out for a touchdown. He also scored on a 4-yard run with 6:55 left in the half for a 17-7 lead The Patriots scored both times on their ensuring series with a 59-yard run and a 99yard kickoff return.

Making Midtown Global: PAMBE Ghana’s Fair Trade Market Global-minded shoppers will once again find the seasonal fair trade shop of local non-profit PAMBE Ghana in Oklahoma City’s Midtown, at the Sieber Apartments, 1307 N Hudson. The Market will be open this year from Nov. 1 - Dec. 24.

Old and new friends are invited to the Global Market’s grand opening party, from 4 - 6 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 3, which will feature food, drink, music (and shopping), and a chance to learn about the school PAMBE Ghana supports in northern Ghana, La’Angum Learning Center (LLC). Founder and Executive Director Alice Iddi-Gubbels will provide her annual update on

the school, the children and future plans.

“We’re so grateful to the Sieber for donating space to our Global Market again this year,” said PAMBE Ghana president Tom Temple. “This is a significant gift, which allows us to redirect those funds to benefit the children at the La’Angum Learning Center.”

This year LLC has an enrollment of 278 students from preschool through grade 6. The school’s remote location, in a rural area without running water or electricity, brings the promise of literacy to children in the nearby, underserved villages. Education is offered to girls and boys, as well as

children of all faiths. To date LLC has graduated three classes of 6th graders, who have moved on to junior high school. There are 35 preschoolers in this year’s entering class.

Jan Taylor new OK Contemporary executive director A

fter seven years of making local, regional and national connections for the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum, Jan Taylor brings that experience and leadership to Oklahoma Contemporary Arts Center.

Taylor began as executive director on Oct. 1, replacing Donna RinehartKeever, who is retiring.

Before her tenure at the Cowboy, Taylor coordinated leadership gifts for World Neighbors, a nonprofit that fights hunger, poverty and disease in rural Asia, Africa and Latin America.

She also worked for international brands Estee Lauder and Chanel after beginning her career as a public school teacher.

“Jan is fully invested in Oklahoma Contemporary's mission and brings a depth of knowledge, contacts and resources to help us make the jump to our new location," said Board President and Founder Christian Keesee.

Since 2013, Rinehart-Keever has built a strong leadership team and a steady plan for Oklahoma Contemporary's new Art Center, now under construction at NW 11th and Broadway.

“For five years, Donna has been carefully setting the foundation for our future and raising money to make certain that future will be a secure one,” Keesee said. “She has brought the right voices to leadership positions in both our Capital Campaign and in our staff while drumming up support and excitement in the community.”

Chief among Taylor's duties will be to finish Oklahoma Contemporary's Capital Campaign. The organization has raised nearly $19.5 million for the construction of the state's next cultural destination, a contemporary arts center in downtown Oklahoma City. The new facility, designed by architect Rand Elliott and built by Smith & Pickel Construction, will open in the fall of 2019.

Oklahoma Contemporary has been working toward the move since 2011, when a study found the arts organization could better serve the city and state if located closer to other Oklahoma City attractions, major workplaces and residential areas. In its new location, Oklahoma Contemporary will serve an estimated 90,000 annual visitors and more than triple programs and class offerings.

Ballou new metro library executive Julie Ballou was selected as the new executive director by the Metropolitan Library Commission.

Ballou previously served as deputy executive director of public services.

“I am honored to have the opportunity to lead a great organization into a new era of library services for the people of Oklahoma County,” Ballou said.

Ballou has worked

JAN TAYLOR

JULIE BALLOU

for the Metropolitan Library System for 25 years. She began her library career at the Village Library in 1993. After many years as a librarian, she later worked as a materials selector before accepting the position of library manager at the Ronald J. Norick Downtown Library.

She opened and managed the Patience S. Latting Northwest Library until she was

promoted as a regional library director in 2015. She became deputy executive director of public services in 2018.

“There were several strong candidates who applied for the position,” Vice Chair of the Metropolitan Library Commission Dr. Ann Caine said. “However, we believe Julie’s experience and dedication to the Metropolitan Library System made her the best

choice for the position.

We are excited for the future of Metro under her leadership.”

Ballou said she will take time to evaluate the changes that the library has undergone over the past five years and consider what is best for the future of the library moving forward.

The executive director position was vacant for 14 months during the hiring process. During that time, Anne Fischer, deputy executive director of information technology, and Kay Bauman, former deputy executive director of public services, served as interim executive director.

Ballet adds new trustees Oklahoma City Ballet has added to its

roster of Board of Trustees for the 20182019 year.

The Board of Trustees welcomed five new members.

Robin Krieger with RRK Resources, LLC, Brandy Parson of Circle 9 Resources, Susan E. Brackett, local prosthodontist, Ann Vitali of CrossFirst Bank, and Gracen Johnsen of Summit, will provide added value to the already prestigious group.

OKC Ballet Executive Director Jo Lynne Jones, is thrilled for the new faces to join the group and add to the already successful group of leaders.

“This impressive new class of trustees brings a wealth of financial and nonprofit experience with them,” said Jones.

Erica Ajayi serving as John Marshall’s interim principal T he school year has only been going on for three months and so much has already happened! The first major change was with the leadership of our school.

Principal Dr. Aspasia Carlson who served John Marshall for eight years took another position at Tulsa Public Schools.

She had a great tenure in this position and we were sorry to see her go. She made a change in the culture of our school and we know that she will do great things in her new position.

Following Dr. Carlson’s departure, the district named as interim principal, Erica Ajayi. Ajayi previously served JM as an assistant principal for the last five years.

Staff and students alike were happy to have her in this posi-

tion. She loves our students and we know that this will be a great year under her leadership.

Ajayi started a program to recognize staff members each month called the superstar shout out.

The winners were as follows: August, Jonathan Oglesby; September, Chad Campbell; and October, Kendra Whitman. Winners were given a gift card to a local restaurant.

“It was really nice to get the recognition and I appreciate the gift card,” said Whitman.

If a local business would like to sponsor

this staff recognition, please contact the school for more details.

Another form of recognition Ajayi has implemented in school is for students and it is called HERO. It is a school-wide program that awards students points for positive behaviors that they display at school.

Any staff member can award points to students. Students can then turn those points in to get an array of incentives, from a bag of chips to a school yearbook.

“I really like this program,” senior Joanae Vann said. “It is about time the good kids get some attention. I already have six points and am saving up for something big.”

• Homecoming has come and gone and our fall sports homecoming king and

Our fall sports homecoming court members were as follows: Freshmen representatives, Tierra Smith and Anthony Reyes; sophomore representatives, Aniyah Dunlap and Dametree Alexander; junior representatives, Elizabeth Bell and Jalen Shells; king candidates, Usiere Ittim, Michael Reyes, Davion Knight and Thomas Portell; and queen candidates, Jailah Reed, Kim Acosta and Joanae Vann.

Dress up days were fun and we won the game so what more could you ask for!

• We also had an amazing football assembly sponsored by Quail Creek Bank.

After a mascot danceoff, the bank gave away some amazing gift bags to our students and did a raffle for those in attendance to try to score a field goal and win $5,000.

Freshmen Sanaa Battles had the winning ticket and kicked a winning goal.

“I couldn’t believe I won, I just couldn’t believe I was given this chance,” Sanaa

said.

Quail Creek Bank is a great community partner and we would like to thank them for all of their support.

• The JM track team held a 5K run to help fund the program and the CJ Davis Memorial Scholarship.

In first place was JM student DJ Alexander, second place was JM student Davion Knight and third place was community member Ken Smith.

The students and community had a great time and the money raised was for a great cause. Make plans to come to next year’s event.

The Upper School chorus opened the show with a groovy medley of hits from 1969 that included “Aquarius,” “Mrs. Robinson,” “Gimme Some Lovin’,” “Everyday People,” and “Let the Sunshine In.” The number, brilliantly choreographed by dance teacher Chelsea Jones, was followed by crowdpleasing orchestra, rock band, solo, and ensemble performances.

IME TO VOTE this Tuesday and from conversations around me, I believe most of you have already made up your mind about the Governor and Lieutenant Governor races.

Some of you are voting for the party. Others are voting on issues like teacher pay, taxes on oil production farming practices, and cutting waste in government.

The latest polls show Kevin Stitt leading.

The Tulsa World poll shows Stitt ahead by seven points. Drew Edmondson had a large

crowd a couple of weeks ago at the Civic Center Music Hall when Kelli O’Hara performed a one-woman show endorsing him. Many Republicans attended, mostly former Mick Cornett supporters. Fridayland is dyed in the wool red (Republican), and some of them have decided to have teas and fundraisers for Stitt now that Mick is out of the race.

RANDY MCDANIEL (R) is the best candidate for Treasurer. A term-limited legislator, McDaniel has fought hard to reform the out of control, unfunded mandates from the legislature. His 24 years as a financial and trust officer with a large bank gave him the experience to undertake necessary reforms and earn strong investment returns.

McDaniel saved the state billions of dollars and state employees, teachers and police and firemen’s retirements. McDaniel is the best candidate for State Treasurer and deserves your vote.

BOB ANTHONY (R) is the best Corporation Commissioner to ever serve the state of Oklahoma. He fights and keeps fighting for rate-payers. He even wore a wiretap for the FBI to gather the evidence because another

commissioner was being bribed by a utility.

“Bob the Brain” (BS from the Wharton School of Finance at the University of Pennsylvania; a Master of Science from the London School of Economics; a Master of Arts from Yale University; and a Master of Public Administration from Harvard University) received more votes at that time than any candidate for state office in Oklahoma history.

Bob is an upfront guy. No backroom dealing or dirty party politics. The only persons he represents are you, the ratepayers.

Reelect Bob Anthony to the Corporation Commission.

STEVE RUSSELL (R) United States Representative District 5 is a military hero and concerned about the Democrats and Republicans in Washington D.C. do not have any dialogue with each other.

He told OKC FRIDAY it is, “isolate, castigate and eliminate,” at the capitol.

Russell is working with Rep. Kevin Brady of Texas, who he says was the main architect of tax reform and others, to address worker visa programs so guest workers can fill our workforce when needed and then go home.

OKC FRIDAY endorses Steve Russell for District 5.

Three other important county officers will be on Fridayland ballots and we endorse: Larry Stein (R) for County Assessor to take over for term-limited Leonard Sullivan; Butch Freeman,(R), County Treasurer and Kevin Calvey (R) County Commissioner to replace term-limited Ray Vaughn.

Men’s Dinner Club takes a walk on the wild side at OKC Zoo I wanna live at the zoo! Not only would I have all the furry pets my heart desires, but it is so beautiful.

If you haven’t seen the new Sanctuary Asia facility, you will soon as it is a splendid venue for large groups and parties.

It was a delightful setting for The Men’s Dinner Club. Upstairs is soaring with intricate beams and roof patterns and lighting fixtures that bathe the architecture. I understand the fix-

tures can change colors for different effects.

After dinner on the main level, we had such a treat in that Joel Sartore, photographer, speaker, author, teacher and regular contributor to National Geographic magazine, entertained

us. And I mean ENTERTAINED! He

was self-effacing, hilarious – and the slides of animals took your breath away. He sacrificed his long-suffering adorable children to make crazy slides to emphasize points, roll-on-thefloor funny.

His message on conservation was soulstirring and his photography was unparalleled. Shots of our zoo animals were awesome. We left bathed in “happy”.

There was standing room only for the presentation for their vision and generosity to Don and Carolyn Zachritz by the zoo board. Carolyn and Don saw a need: our zoo needed a grand entrance for such a fine facility. Next blooming season you’ll see a sea of color as the gardens in front of the Devon Pavilion will be aflower as that landscaping was created and landscaped in honor of Don Zachritz by Carolyn.

Above left: Don Zachritz seems to be enjoying the accolades regarding the azalea gardens at the zoo, given to honor him. Above: OZS President Pama Palmer visits with Linda and Buz McDaniel during the presentation at our zoo.

Those wanting to honor Don were Dr. Dwight Lawson who is executive director of the zoo, Tim Rasnic, executive director of the Oklahoma Zoological Society (OZS), and Pama Palmer who is president of OZS, and lots of friends and fans. Apparently, Don, Dwight (who came from the Atlanta zoo so he knows azaleas) and Tim drove around OKC trying to find just the “azalea-look” they wanted for our zoo. They nailed it!

The same weekend Don Zachritz was honored at the OU/Army game as a 60-year season ticket holder.

• Women glittered, and tuxedo-clad men shinned at the Fall Seventy-Five Club dinner dance. Tim Love and his glamorous wife, Susan head the ever-growing

membership and that IS a task. New members were welcomed, and guests sat for a sumptuous dinner with beautiful flowers and music.

Around the room were Anne and Win Holbrook, Sue Ann and Dudley Hyde, Anne and Barry Gray, Gay and Ed Kirby, Carolyn and John Coffey, Gale and Jim Askins (dear friend Gale Bollinger just married Jim, and they were just glowing), Sara and Rob Northwood, Beth and Jim Hammack, Susan and Mike McPherson, Kay and Gates Oliver, Alecia and Kevin George, Terrie and Andy Hubbard, and Gennie and Bob Johnson.

Artist to install oversized portraits in downtown OKC

Edmond family remembers son through 5K

As part of his quest to restore America’s shattered national unity one photograph at a time, artist John Raymond Mireles, in collaboration with the Oklahoma City Downtown Partnership, will exhibit portraits from his Neighbors Project on the façade of the BOK Park Plaza building located at the intersection of N. Walker Ave. and W. Sheridan Ave. On Oct. 27, Mireles completed the installation of 35 portraits ranging in size up to 12 feet tall at the ground level of the building. This exhibition is viewable to the general public

Eight-year-old Aidan Hooper saved two lives July 4, 2016, through tissue donation, which is why his family will run Saturday in the Little Red Heart 5K. The Hooper family along with about 17 other friends will honor Aidan’s gift and his life by participating in Team Aidan’s Legacy to raise money for organ and tissue donation across the state.

The inaugural Little Red Heart Run, organized by the LifeShare Foundation, will include music, food, kids’ activities and stories from families touched by donation. The event’s walk will begin at 10 a.m. and the race will begin at 10:30 a.m. with a shotgun start.

The LifeShare Foundation serves as a partner to LifeShare of Oklahoma by generating awareness, support and research for organ, eye and tissue donation.

from Oct. 26 to April 15, 2019.

Over the past three years, artist John Raymond Mireles has worked to unite Americans across their geographic, racial, political, cultural and other differences by photographing individuals from all 50 US states and publicly exhibiting their portraits. Mireles connects with his subjects up close and enlarges the resulting portraits to largerthan-life scale in order to encourage viewers to intimately relate to and empathize with their fellow residents of the United States While in Oklahoma

City, Mireles will also spend time creating portraits in collaboration with the Oklahoma Black Museum and Performing Arts Center for another public installation to take place in the spring of 2019.

Samples of his Neighbors Project are available at jraymondmireles.com. A short documentary about his Neighbors Project, entitled Good Fences Make For Good Neighbors, is viewable there.

Mireles’ work has been featured in The Guardian, The NY Times and The Huffington Post among others.

‘The Power of Place’ in film Oklahoma City University’s Film Institute will continue its 37th annual international film series at 7:30 p.m.

Nov. 7 with Martin Zandvliet’s Under Sandet (Land of Mine).

The screening is free to the public in the Kerr McGee Auditorium of the Meinders School of Business at N.W. 27th St. and McKinley Ave. Based on real events in Denmark in the immediate aftermath of World War II, Land of Mine tells the story of teenage German POWs who are forced to clear land mines from a Danish beach.

As the Danish sergeant who oversees the young men realizes the consequences of the

dangerous work on the people he has spent the whole war dehumanizing, he finds himself confronted with a choice upon which rests the soul of the film: can he let these men die in an attempt to retrieve honor for his country?

Widely celebrated in Denmark, Land of Mine is a sobering act of witness and a reminder of the ineradicable humanity that can be found even in the direst circumstances.

The film contains scenes of combat-related violence. It will be screened in Danish and German with English subtitles.

“The Power of Place” serves as the theme of

this year’s series. More than just setting, place can be nostalgic or haunting.

“It may be mythic or menacing,” said Tracy Floreani, director of OCU’s Film Institute.

“It can be as specific as a room in a house or amorphous as an entire watery landscape. Place informs our personal identities, familial and national identities. People connect to place, or feel displaced; fight for a place, or flee it.”

A discussion about the film will follow the screening for those who wish to stay. For more information about the series, visit the Film Institute website at okcu.edu/filmlit.

“The Little Red Heart Run is a special time for our entire community. It brings together donor families, transplant recipients, those waiting for a transplant, volunteers, sponsors and partners who all play an integral role in making our life-saving mission possible,” Jeffrey Orlowski, President and CEO of LifeShare said. “The amount of support, compassion and dedication we are seeing as our teams prepare to walk and run to celebrate the gift of life is inspiring.”

More than 440 Oklahomans received lifesaving organ donations in 2017, according to LifeShare.

The team created in Aidan’s memory has raised about $450 for the cause. All proceeds raised will be donated to the LifeShare Foundation.

Panthers establish food pantry to help kids in need I

n the summer of 2017 Putnam City North Assistant Principal Kenneth Atterbery and faculty member Natalie Robinson decided that they should start a pantry to help kids in need in the district. In September of last year the Panther Pantry was put into full effect at Putnam City North.

The Panther Pantry started serving in January, assisting 38 kids in the district with snacks and basic meal staples. Out of

PANTHER PROGRESS

the 38, 15 are students at North, nine are from Ralph Downs and another 15 have siblings who go to Hefner, Capps or Cooper. The Panther Pantry is partnered with Regional Food Bank, an organization called Food for Kids and New Hope United

Methodist Church.

The pantry also receives private donations and help from the community.

Dan Corner and Bob Lane are volunteers from New Hope UMC Church who come and help stock the pantry on Wednesday afternoons.

How does the Panther Pantry run so smoothly? Much of the work is done by Attebery and Robinson, but they also receive help from our very own Panthers.

ID Students volun-

teer in the pantry and receive job skills such as pulling orders, stocking shelves and restocking as the shelves empty.

These kids are not only receiving job skills, but life skills as well. For future references, resumes with photos have been made for later employment.

The impact on the students is powerful.

They help fight hunger, deliver orders, serve and gain resources for later down the road.

Everyone involved is making a powerful difference in the Panther community.

“No child should ever go hungry when we have the ability to help,” Robinson said.

For Atterbery, the pantry is an extension of the service he has seen in his church.

“The church I go to does missions to help and serve all over the world, which really inspired me to get the pantry started,” Atterbery said.

“It makes my heart full to know that I

am helping these kids.”

The pantry is an act of love. Helping kids who are in need could change a child’s life. The positivity that this pantry brings is incredible and we would love to spread it.

If you would like to donate or help in any way, you can contact Kenneth Atterbery at Putnam City North. His phone number is 722-4220, ext. 2685 and his email address is katterbery@putnamcityschools.org.

Claire Darrow describes gap year experiences in India I interviewed Claire Darrow from Casady’s Class of 2017 about her bridge year in India (more specifically in Pune, Maharashtra). Her experience not only serves as a testament to the vast opportunities we have ahead of us, but also as a reminder to not always discredit “traditional” college paths in favor of the more conventional options.

Q: What did you do on your gap year?

A: Last year I took a gap year (or preferably, bridge year) in

enth grade students.

In addition to these program aspects, I helped teach art classes, started my yoga training, and made lifelong connec-

tions.

Q: How do you feel like your Casady experience influenced your decision to do the program? How did

it help you abroad?

A: In my experience, Casady lived up to its mission of preparing and challenging me in mind, body, and spirit. With that influence in mind, I sought out a program that would continue that mission. Last year, I was stretched out of my comfort zone many times, but I was definitely poised to look at the big picture, follow my curiosities, and keep asking the hard questions. I think I owe Casady a debt of gratitude in that regard.

Q: What are you doing now that your gap year is over?

A: Now that my gap year is over, I am attending Middlebury College in Middlebury, Vt. It is a liberal arts school with a wonderful local community and unique global outlook. While I am currently undecided in my major, I hope to continue challenging myself and my biases while finding new and creative ways to look at issues such as development, sustainability, and culture.

JOY From Page B2

• Admitting that as a child he was pathetic and a total wash-out at baseball, but “could probably give the botanical name of every blade of grass” was the fun-filled speaker, author James Farmer, as he entertained the Antiques Club members and their guests.

Tall, lanky, and smart and wily, he made fun of his southern accent, saying he comes alive when someone speaks of “my muthah’s sterling.”

The audience fell in love with James. He has written eight books which address a garden to table lifestyle and encompassing food, decor, Southern heirloom recipes, interior design, and has appeared on multitudes of television shows including NBC’s “Today” and HGTV. Women fortunate enough to enjoy the Menu for a Country Gentleman luncheon were Linda Garrett, Lida Elkins, Arden Barrett, Betsy Hyde (who hosted James and Antique Club at a party in her home the night previous), Marilyn Meade, Sally Stringer, Gennie Johnson, Chelin Satherlie, Carol Solomon, Helen Dailey, Lori

Hill, Mary Lynn West, Kitty Champlin, Anne Workman, Barbara Beeler and Helen Wallace. Club President Pat Edwards welcomed the group and Tina Beal introduced the speaker.

James gave those of southern extraction permission to use the verb “fluffff ” when explaining what is vital for getting one’s house party-ready.

• A bucolic backdrop and stupendous home owned by Linda and Lance Benham was the scene for the fall Allied Arts gathering. The whole party was a treat as was viewing the art collection of the owners.

Around the home I saw Carole and Deal Bowman, Nancy and Joe Bradley, Valerie Naifeh, Ann Lacy, Judy and Guy Liebmann, Meg Salyer, Linda and Don Dunn, Linda Haneborg, Dee and John Harris, Kelley Barnes, Alyce and Ron Page, Linda and Ken Howell and Rita and Art Dearmon.

• The Golden Circle group of Tri Delta alumnae met for their fall luncheon at Quail Creek Country Club, and the new officers came on board. Chairman is Jackie Jones, Sidney Greathouse is secretary and Linda Walters is treasurer. The OKC area’s Tri Deltas will have their Centennial celebration on April 27, 2019.
