Business owners irked by Britton construction delays By Ashley Haley Staff Writer Village business owners expressed their concerns to the city council after the road project to reconstruct Britton Road between Penn and May Avenue has caused them to close their business. Johnnie’s Charcoal Broiler owners Rick and David Haynes said business
at their restaurant, located on Britton Road, has dropped 50 percent. He said when traffic was directed from May Avenue to Penn Avenue, business only dropped about 20 percent, but when Britton Road is closed, business declines. In the meantime, the owners closed the restaurant for remodeling. “We can’t afford to be
shut down another six months,” Haynes said. “It’s frustrating for us on what to do and how to respond.” Haynes said when he drives by the reconstruction project at least once a week, he only sees about five people working on the road at a time, which is irritating. He said he doesn’t understand why the city can’t push the Department of Transpor-
tation to get the project done. Haynes spoke with an ODOT representative and was told that although the project was initially scheduled to be completed Friday, Nov. 15, they have now pushed back the completion date to the end of November or later. “Everyone along that street needs to be told when

Goliath does his part as the men and women of Village Baptist Church make bedrolls out of shopping bags to share with the homeless. They cut up the bags, loop the strips and then crochet. Each time Karen Fisher is crocheting, Goliath climbs up on her work and sits quietly, purring and watching as each stitch makes his soft spot bigger and bigger.
While continuing to “Look Back,” the OKC National Memorial and Museum has a renewed mission to “Think Forward.” April 19, 2020 will be the 25th anniversary of the bombing of the Murrah Building and memorial leaders say we stand at a turning point. The new “Looking Back • Thinking Forward” logo is designed to help people to envision the path ahead. The National Memorial and Museum hosted a Day One luncheon when Executive Director Kari Watkins and incoming Board of Trustees Chairman Bob Ross announced a renewed vision for the memorial. That started with the Day One luncheon — the first day of 168 leading up to the 25th anniversary. Each day until the anniversary, the memorial will honor one of those who were killed, those who survived and

Slater to receive May Award It was just a few years after Len Slater graduated from the NYU School of Medicine when the first cases of AIDS were diagnosed. In fact, the young physician was training as a resident and fellow in internal medicine and infectious diseases at Einstein College of Medicine when he saw some of the earliest patients with AIDS in New York City. Today, Slater is retired from the OU Health Sciences Center and is the recipient of this year’s Richard May Award, presented annually by the Oklahoma AIDS Care Fund. “It is such an honor to be able to present this award to Dr. Slater,” said Lauren Sullivan, OACF execu-
tive director. “When he moved here in 1983, only two people had been diagnosed with HIV in Oklahoma. As the epidemic accelerated, he became an original provider to people living with HIV/AIDS.” “Finally, in the mid-1990s, effective HIV combination therapy introduced the revolution, and that continues today,” she said. OACF will present Slater with the award during a World AIDS Day luncheon on Friday, Nov. 15, at the UCO CHK Central Boathouse, 732 Riversport Drive in Oklahoma City, beginning at 11:30 a.m. “For over three and a half See SLATER, Page 2

much more. “Our goal is to give them tools to navigate life well,” Kanaly said. “We give them tools on how to parent well in the home and how to have healthy relationships.” Arise Ministries kicks off the holiday season with Jingle Jangle, a one-night Christmas event designed to encourage and uplift mothers and women for the holidays. Jingle Jangle takes place Friday, Nov. 22, 6:30-9 p.m. at Henderson Hills Baptist Church in Edmond. Admission is $5 for moms and $5 per family for childcare. Registration is open online at ariseministries.net. The organization is also making a differ-

MEMORIAL From Page 1 New “Gates of Time” Thunder jerseys were revealed, one of which are to be presented to each of the 168 families of those who were killed in what was then the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil. New exhibits are set to be added to the museum and others are going to be updated. Better conversations about tough topics are in the making. These are designed to help students and adults learn how to resolve conflicts peacefully by listening carefully and changing the questions they ask and how they ask them. The museum has launched an all-new website, memorialmuseum.org, and free admission is available once a month. Family members of those killed will be united for a remembrance reception during the anniversary week. “We want to make sure the story

We are thrilled to be honoring Dr. Slater with the ‘Richard May Award.’” The Richard May Award is named in memoriam for one of the original members of the Oklahoma AIDS Care Fund. May, along with

Since its inception, OACF has awarded more than $13 million in grants to local agencies helping Oklahomans living with HIV/AIDS. “Our need for funding remains as great today as it was in the early days of the disease,” Sullivan said. “The miracle of combination therapy in the 1990s has allowed those who are infected to live long, normal lives, with proper treatment.” “But that treatment is expensive, and our funding helps those who need it most. We thank our donors, because they are truly offering the gift of life to their fellow Oklahomans.” Information on Worlds AIDS Day Luncheon and ticket pricing can be found at www.okaidscarefund.com.

Sports Weekly FOOTBALL | WEEK 10 PREVIEW: KINGFISHER AT JOHN MARSHALL
John Marshall hosts Kingfisher in season finale By Jason Jewell Sports Editor Not executing to its previous offensive standards at Perkins last week, the John Marshall football team hopes to have corrected those mistakes in Thursday night’s season finale against Kingfisher, and with a win secured third place in the final district standings. “Against Perkins, we lacked some execution in the little things,” Bears coach Aso Pogi said. “We
want to be sharp this week against Kingfisher and finish the season strong.” Currently, the seventh-ranked Bears sit at 7-2 overall and in a tie for third with the Yellowjackets at 4-2 in District 3A-1, after losing 14-6 last Friday at second-place Perkins-Tryon.

Tarman’s big 2nd half propels Irish to win By Jason Jewell Sports Editor Without two of his main weapons, McGuinness quarterback Luke Tarman keyed the Irish offense not only with his arm but more with his legs in leading them to a 33-7 win over Guthrie last Friday night at Pribil Stadium.
“This is the second week in a row that Luke has taken over the game,” coach Brian Pierce said after the game. “He’s just that type of player than can put the team on his shoulders and lead us to a win.” Star tailback Dominic Richardson and receiver Aaron Beck were sidelined with injuries but Pierce expects the pair back for the season finale this Friday at Carl Albert. Against Guthrie, McGuinness (8-1, 6-0 District 5A-2) wasted no time on its first series marching 69 yards in six plays with Tarman finding

a muffed punt and scoring on an 11-yard run to force a 7-7 tie. McGuinness kicker Zach Schmit connected on field goals of 25 and 23 yards in the second quarter to give the Irish a touchdown advantage of 13-7 at halftime. Tarman, then, dominated the second half with 106 of his 246 rushing yards and scoring runs of 1 and 46 yards to end any hope of a Guthrie rally. The junior also hit Cole Limber with a 35-yard TD pass in the final minutes of the third quarter.

Oklahoma Film & Music Conference
T
he Oklahoma Film + Music Office is hosting the first ever Oklahoma Film and Music Conference next week on November 14 & 15. The event will take place at Vast on the 50th floor of the Devon Tower and will feature two days of panels sessions, workshops, networking events, and exhibitions. The conference is open to anyone interested in the film and music industries. There is a nominal fee of $15 each day which can be paid on the website or at the event itself. The Oklahoma Film and Music Conference is being held this year to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Film Commission. Since its founding, the OF+MO has grown into a reginal powerhouse, working actively with the state senate and legislature to provide an incentive package that attracts film and television productions to the state and provides full time equivalent jobs to film professionals across the state. Earlier this spring, the OF+MO became the first organization honored by the deadCenter Film Festival for their years of service growing the local film industry. The conference is divided into multiple
tracks so attendees can focus specifically on film, music, or the entertainment industry at large. From hands on production, to building a studio, to attracting productions to your hometown, there is something for everyone interested in film and music. One the film side, Oklahoma’s diverse locations, skilled talent and growing infrastructure and incentives continue to attract more film productions to our state. More than 30 different feature films, television series and other productions have filmed in Oklahoma this calendar year alone, including the recent production of Amblin Partners/Participant Media’s Untitled Tom McCarthy Project starring Matt Damon. The producer of that film, Jonathan King, will kick off the conference with a keynote discussion on how Oklahoma is attracting more films and how the industry can continue to position itself as one of the country’s top filming destinations. Other stand outs on the film side include
Mastering the Short Pitch from Danny Manus, CEO of No BullScript Consulting, outlining all of the do’s and don’ts for pitching your film or television ideas; Hiring Union versus Nonunion Crews led by Laura King, Business Manager of I.A.T.S.E.

That panel will include the following: Tava Sofsky, Director of the OF+ MO; Abby Kurin, Director of the Tulsa Office of Film, Music, Art, and Culture; Richard Janes, Emmy Award winning Entrepreneur; and Jennifer Loren, Senior Manager of the Cherokee Nation Film Office.

The senior class officers organized the entire class into groups, and each group was responsible for one or more particular aspects of the carnival. There were games, prizes, food and a host of activities for BGC members to get involved. It was our honor to be partnered with the Boys and Girls Club in an effort to impact the lives of the young people they serve. The event was a huge success in spite of the rain and cooler weather! • It is also Halloween week! Students dressed in costumes and donated $3 to the upcoming Canned Food Drive. The drive is a long time tradition at Bishop McGuinness. Students collect canned goods the whole month of November, until Thanksgiving. As you watch the students load thousands of cans onto the Oklahoma

This year, with its kickoff at the Halloween Assembly, the student body will aim for a total of 60 pounds of canned goods per child. This number may seem daunting, but as it has in the past, BMCHS will rise to the challenge and live out the Catholic Social Teaching to feed the hungry. • Last Sunday turned out to be perfect weather for our annual Open House. We welcomed more than 100 of our future students and families. Events such as this do not happen without the help of our students, parents, teachers, coaches and sponsors. A “big Irish thank you” is extended to all of our McGuinness Ambassadors who led tour groups and the many students who were on hand to show off their activities

rightening weather couldn’t scare young Chargers away from the Trunk or Treat event hosted by the Upper School prior to the varsity football game versus Kingfisher. Usually held outside by the football field, a chilly, rainy forecast moved this year’s festivities into the Boghetich Gym, where a variety of Upper School clubs and athletic teams had set up tables with games and candy. “I really enjoyed watching all the kids having fun as they ran around taking pictures with Lightning (Heritage Hall’s mascot) and participating in the different activities. Trunk or Treat is a really special event to be a part of,” said senior Jake Ephraim, who helped man the Spirit Cheer table. Adding to the fun, each organization decorated their spaces with Halloween adornments, objects pertaining to their club, or a fun theme. Among them, Pep Club turned their area into a campsite, complete with a tent and Bunsen burner to make s’mores. Art Club created a splatter paint sign and hung paint brushes off of the table, while the soc-

course, was lots and lots of candy. “It was fun to see all the different costumes and play games with the kids,” said senior David Turner, who worked the Art Club table. “Was definitely glad the event was moved indoors, however, as it provided everyone a nice way to stay warm before the game.” Whether indoors or outdoors, Trunk or Treat is a fun-filled tradition for Chargers of all ages!

Paul Sterling dies in Hawaii Paul David Sterling, Jr., died after a brief illness Oct. 28, 2019, on Maui, Hawaii. He was born to Fanny Roberta (Ahrens) Sterling and Paul David Sterling July 19, 1941, on a farm near Chetopa, Kansas. He grew up a farm kid in Cleveland county Oklahoma, graduating from Moore High School in 1959. He then became the first in his family to attend college earning BS, MS and PhD degrees from Oklahoma State University. While still students at OSU, he and Mary Belle Hunt married. They shared 56 years of marriage raising three wonderful children: David (Julie) Sterling, Catherine (Todd) Mettenbrink, all of Oklahoma City, and Douglas, of Captain Cook, Hawaii. After graduation Paul went to work in research for Geigy (later Ciba-Geigy) Agricultural Chemicals. He decided to leave the corporate world and in 1973 moved the family to Oklahoma City where he worked under his mentor, Tom Graham, eventually buying Graham Pest Control which became Sterling-Graham, Inc. He was an intelligent, thoughtful businessman who always put his customers first. Retirement, being a word with which he didn't agree, he em-barked on another career. This time farming on the Kona coast of the Big Island of Hawaii with coffee and macadamia nuts as his crops. He named his venture Dr. Paulo's Farms which now has customers all over the world. He truly loved the challenges of tropical agriculture and the friends he made while he and Mary Belle divided their time between Kona and Oklahoma City. There was nothing more important to Paul than his family, always wanting the best for each one. He was preceded in death by his parents, his brother Harold Ray Sterling and his sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Natalie and Bill Kopplin. Surviving are his wife Mary Belle, his children, David, Catherine and Doug, his sister Jenney (Gary) Bonner of Norman, Okla., sister-inlaw, Bettie Sue Sterling of Edmond, Okla., grandchildren, Reid Mettenbrink, Riley Sterling, Grace Sterling, Grant Mettenbrink, Elise Mettenbrink, Emily Sterling, many nieces, nephews, cousins and a host of dear friends. Memorials may be sent to Oklahoma State University Foundation, 400 South Monroe Street, Stillwater, Okla. 74074, and earmarked for the D.E. Howell Scholarship Fund Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology.

Thousands of jobs going unfilled in OKC education, gun laws, reputation are reason Department of Defence contractors Boeing, Northrup and Pratt & Whitney are in the Oklahoma City metro area because of Tinker AFB. There are 2,000 open positions in aerospace here. Boeing alone has 600 openings with an average salary of $95,000. Phil G. Busey is founder, chairman and CEO of Delaware Resource Group (DRG), which has experienced a 4,000% growth
rate since 2002. DRG is a subcontractor in the aerospace industry. He recently spoke to the Fortune Club, OKC FRIDAY and other news outlets about the aerospace industry problems in Oklahoma. While other companies are contemplating moving to OKC with Tinker adding more facilities for the B-1 bomber upgrades, Pratt & Whitney is moving
some of their operation back to California due to lack of workforce in Oklahoma. Other companies have done the same. “Outsiders don’t understand the No License Open Carry, which really hinders recruiting and many recruits won’t consider Oklahoma because of its extremely low rank in education among the states,” Busey said. Oklahoma needs to improve its image.
Hefner Parkway has been a billboard-free zone since 1992; that is about to change. We have enjoyed a parkway free of billboards. Allowing one digital billboard will lead to more, which will block the view of Lake Hefner and recreational areas. Hearts for Hearing has been fighting this battle with Lamar Advertising for over a year. We must join their effort to support the existing zoning restrictions leaving the parkway free from digital and traditional billboards. Lamar Advertising bought an easement from Our Lord’s Community Church (OLCC) where Lamar intended to build a digital billboard on the property between OLCC and Hearts for Hearing (HFH). HFH learned about this purchase in August 2018. The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) granted Lamar a permit which they later revoked after discovering a playground within 500 feet of the proposed signage. HFH believed this was the end of the issue but determined to build a playground after funds were raised. Hearts for Hearing learned in late July, 2019 that the King’s Gate playground was being
Hearts for Hearing creates life-changing opportunities for children and adults with hearing loss to listen for a lifetime. Hearts for Hearing is a 501(c)(3) moved from its current location so the organization therefore, installed a temporary playground in August 2019 as a placeholder until the permanent playground was completed. The church was contacted to obtain permission for the placement of the temporary structure. Paperwork was submitted for permitting of the permanent playground and outdoor classroom in September and the permit was granted in October, 2019. Dirt work has begun with plans to complete the project in 30-45 days with private donations. On October 28 HFH discovered the temporary playground was gone. Security footage from October 26, revealed a truck and trailer drove
through the church property, encroached upon the property of Hearts for Hearing and drove away at 7:45 pm with the playground on the trailer. HFH filed a police report regarding the stolen play equipment. The same day, Lamar filed a permit to build the billboard on that site and their request was granted. In addition to the zoning and restriction issues, Hearts for Hearing believes the placement of the billboard could interfere with the hearing testing of infants, which is a critical component of their mission, due to electrical artifacts within such close proximity to the billboard. Take Action We must spread the word to people who will join our effort to keep billboards from populating the parkway. If we don’t act, there is a strong likelihood that the billboard will be installed within the month. Please express your concern as soon as possible to: 1.

Four internationally famous artists donated their work for the auction and two attended. D. Arthur Wilson, and his wife, Lisa, also an artist, attended. D. Arthur donated 100% of his original painting “The Hunt” to CCF and a charcoal drawing of Ambassador Cheetah Misi, which he drew live for the crowd. D. Arthur, a wildlife expressionist, has raised over $2 million for conservation groups. His work raised over $15,000 for CCF at the Sias party. Coming from London and donating an original painting was Layla Andrews. She is best known for her commissioned portraits of Nelson Mandela and Barak Obama in the USA.

Chairman Vicki Clark Gourley, a CCF USA Trustee, said “The generosity of host and underwriter Dick Sias, the artists, our sponsors and the skills of auctioneer Josh Phelps and his spotter T. E. Mayo made this an event to remember.” Misi’s story Misi was born at Fossil Rim near Ft. Worth. Her mother abandoned her in the bushes. By the time the staff found her she was in dire straits. Her back legs were misshaped and the vets advised owners to euthanize her. The call went out to Suzi Rapp at the Columbus Zoo. She flew to Fossil Rim, put Misi in her purse and took her back to Ohio. A long period of rehabilitation began, but Suzi and the Columbus Crew would not give up.

Humility is powerful
International speaker Mark McCurties to present talk on universal healing percepts Why not welcome the holiday season with a new appreciation for humility? Mark McCurties, international speaker and practitioner of Christian Science healing, will present his talk, “Humility that ‘overcomes the world,’” on Sunday, Nov. 17 at 2 p.m. in meeting room B of the Northwest Library, located at 5600 NW 122nd Street in Oklahoma City. His talk focuses on universal healing precepts found in the Holy Bible, especially in Christ Jesus’ life and teachings, and shows how they are available for anyone to understand and experience through the lens of Christian Science. The talk is free, open to the community, and sponsored by Fifth Church of Christ, Scientist, Oklahoma City, who will provide free childcare for attendees. “A central theme of Christ Jesus’ ministry was to teach and show that the power of God’s love can help us overcome the various injustices in the world,” McCurties said “Yet, for all the remark-
MARK McCURTIES
able healing work that Jesus did, he always gave the credit to God. Based on Jesus’ example, we will define true humility, how it links us to God, and how it connects us with God’s healing laws. There is great need for healing in the world today, and living with more Christ-like humility can help us meet that demand.” McCurties will share healings to explain why Christian Science is both Chris-
tian because it follows Christ Jesus, and scientific, meaning that people can prove its effectiveness for themselves. The practice is fully described in the book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, written by the founder of the Christian Science church, Mary Baker Eddy. McCurties will also touch on the life of Mary Baker Eddy, and how she came to understand, confirm and teach the healing method of Christ Jesus. Eddy herself said she was especially inspired by Jesus’ demand, “He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father” (from the Gospel of John 14:12 in the Bible). Mark McCurties has been a Christian Science practitioner for many years, daily helping people through this scientific approach to prayer. He travels from his home base in Michigan, to speak to audiences as a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship.
