A recently formed non-profit — WOW (Winter on Western Foundation/501c3) — is working to bring the dazzling holiday lights back to Western Avenue.

“The lights, along with the unique way the trees were wrapped, was all Aubrey McClendon,” spokeswoman Edie Roodman said. “His creativity and inspiration will be reflected once again in a glittering light display.

“There is every reason to believe that with the support of corporate and

individual gifts we will flip the switch and turn those magical lights on Friday, Dec. 3, at 6:30 p.m.”

During the cold dark days of winter, those bright lights brought sheer joy.

Roodman said many miss their color and warm glow.

“A small determined group of us are making considerable efforts to honor Aubrey’s vision and bring back the tradition he so generously shared with our community,” Roodman said.

The plan is for their glow to grace

the streets until right after Valentine’s Day 2022 and each year thereafter. All donors are invited to a reception hosted by the new Ellison Hotel prior to the lighting ceremony on Dec. 3 at 6 p.m.

For more information or to make a donation, visit winteronwestern.org or send a check to WOW, 6608 N. Western Ave., PMB No. 313, Oklahoma City, Okla. 73116 or call (405) 525-8822 for credit cards.

“I’ve loved golf as long as I can remember,” he said.

A multi-year, $200,000 project to renovate The Village Fire Station at 2201 W. Britton Rd. is currently in the second year of a five-year construction plan. Renovations to the fire station are planned to replace floor coverings, update bathrooms, overhead doors, hot water tanks and other infrastructure.

“This is a multi-year project to renovate the station in a way that is not too disruptive to work and living conditions,” said Bruce Stone, city manager.

For the current station, built in 1997, the city paid nearly $600,000 cash for the building.

Firefighters did much of the work to finish the building out by installing the floors, cabinets, tiles, doors and all the painting.

“In other words, the contractor built a ‘shell’ that was finished by our employees,” said Stone. “This was a fairly innovative way to get a new facility at a price we could afford.”

Stone said the city has budgeted a minimum $20,000 per year for the project that could vary from year to year. The total cost over five years

ontford: The Chickasaw Rancher, the latest film from Chickasaw Nation Productions, had its world premiere on Netflix this month and is currently available for streaming. Montford portrays the life of Chickasaw rancher Montford Johnson, who overcame great hardships and tragedy to establish a vast ranching empire along the famous cattle highway of the American West, the Chisholm Trail.

Based on Johnson’s life and the book “The Chickasaw Rancher,” this historic, Western epic recalls Johnson’s time from his birth in 1843, through the tumultuous years of the Civil War and its aftermath, to the Land Rush of 1889. The film does not shy away from the harsh treatment of Native Americans during the time, which makes Johnson’s ultimate success even more inspiring.

The son of an Englishman and a Chickasaw woman, Johnson befriended Cherokee fur trader Jesse Chisholm, who convinced him to establish cattle ranches and trading posts in Indian Territory to serve fellow First Americans. Chisholm was credited with scouting and developing The Chisholm Trail.

As his ranching empire expanded,

Johnson’s perseverance sealed his legacy.

Through conflicts with “Boomers” and cattle rustlers, and numerous personal tragedies, Johnson stood strong. His ranching practices, such as burning fields to control growth and reduce diseases spread by ticks, along with barbed wire fencing, are still used today. At the height of his ranching operation, Johnson accumulated a herd of over 35,000 head of cattle which grazed over a million acres of the newly-created Indian Territory.

The cast of Montford is led by an outstanding Martin Sensmeier, who has also appeared in Yellowstone, Westworld, and Wind River. Sensmeier is joined by Demin Richards, who plays Colby in Yellowstone; Casey CampHorinek, who portrays grandma in Reservation Dogs; and Dermot Mulroney, the groom from My Best Friend’s Wedding with Julia Roberts and co-star of the Oklahoma filmed August: Osage County.

son, Montford was directed by Canadian Nathan Frankowski and produced by Florida based producer Paul Sirmons, the same team who led the filming of Te Ata. More than 100 Oklahomans were hired to work on the movie as cast, crew and extras.

Montford is the third feature film produced by Chickasaw Nation Productions.

The first film, Pearl, tells the story of Pearl Carter Scott, the youngest licensed pilot in history. The second film, Te Ata, portrays the life and art of famous Chickasaw poet Te Ata. Te Ata is also currently streaming on Netflix.

Chickasaw Nation Productions was established in 2009 as a result of Chickasaw Nation Governor Bill Anoatubby’s vision to utilize film production to preserve the stories of the Chickasaw people. The goal of Chickasaw Nation Productions is to educate audiences by producing feature films and documentaries with accurate, positive portrayals of Chickasaw people, history and culture. Each film illustrates how Chickasaw culture played an important role in the lives of the individuals and events portrayed in the films, and how those individuals and events influenced the world around them.

Foundation for Excellence honors PC Schools Foundation Putnam City School Foundation’s program connecting school site needs with community resources has been selected as a recipient of the 2021 Outstanding Program Awards for Oklahoma School Foundations presented by the Oklahoma Foundation for Excellence and its Oklahoma School Foundations Network.

The awards recognize innovative programs sponsored or administered by public school foundations in Oklahoma. Receiving a plaque and a monetary award of $1,000 was the Community and Schools Together Initiative sponsored by the Putnam City Schools Foundation.

Recognizing that there are many community members, businesses and organizations that want to help public education and that there is always a need for community support for schools, Putnam City Schools Foundation created the Community

and Schools Together Initiative (CAST) to help connect community resources to school needs.

Each of the district’s three feeder school patterns has a CAST liaison who works with school staff to identify and to fill needs and to build lasting relationships with community donors that improve educational opportunities for students.

During the pilot year for the CAST program, several opportunities for community engagement occurred. A group of church members painted games on the blacktop at one school while another repainted the United States flag. A women's group came together to build a Girls' Closet full of feminine hygiene and care products at a middle school.

A youth group replaced the shingles on the roof of a shed at an elementary school. The OKC Energy soccer club donated soccer equipment to enhance an ele-

mentary PE program. A local business donated two refrigerators for teacher lounges, replacing long outdated ones.

During COVID school closures, the foundation’s CAST liaisons worked with three churches to collect and distribute school supply packets to students in need.

“The outcomes of the CAST program, from providing supplies for girls and sports equipment to books and school supplies, show that we are meeting the needs our schools have,” said foundation President Jennifer Seal.

“Those things may not represent major breakthroughs in test scores, but they represent an improved community spirit and the building of a culture of mutual support throughout our area. Putnam City is not an actual city, which makes it difficult for people to feel that ownership and pride one might have in an actual town. This program will

plans to consider the installation of additional speed cushions during the next budget process in spring 2022.

In April, the city started a pilot program when it approved $15,000 for the installation of three

speed cushions to curb residential speeders. In October, the council approved the installation of an additional four speed cushions.

Each speed cushion installation costs the city $5,000.

could be in the range of $200,000. To date, the city has spent nearly $30,000 on construction.

“These renovations will suit our needs and provide a more comfortable and pleasant working and living environment for our firefighters,” he said.

The city currently has 21 firefighters.

foster those feelings as it grows.”

The impact of the Community and Schools Together Initiative continues to expand as relationships are built and school needs are met in big and small ways across the district. Over 2,400 students received school supply packets during distance learning, and countless more have been impacted with donations big and small, thanks to community partnerships formed and fostered through CAST.

ometimes, the chaos and craziness of everyday life makes it seem like the world is full of scary things and annoying people. Over the past 18 months, we’ve faced difficulties and changes compared to nothing in recent history, so it’s nice to be reminded of the good things that people do for each other.

Over the weekend, the Casady sixth grade class got together and shaved their heads to support a young man in their class with cancer. I believe all the

boys completely shaved their heads and most of the girls shaved their heads from the base of their head under their hair to a quarterways up their skull. Even teachers showed their solidarity with the boy and shaved their heads, including the Middle Division director and

the science, math, English and history teachers.

Watching the classmates cheer and chant for each other in support of this young man reminds me of how fiercely we bond with those around us when we are faced with challenges. Instead of ostracizing this boy, the collective class planned and executed an event to make him feel encouraged and supported, and most importantly, normal.

I’m amazed at the things people do for

each other when they learn of someone in need of love and care, especially kids.

As we move into the holiday season where the main themes are giving thanks and caring for one another, moments like this will stick out to me, where people brave something daunting and a little out of the norm in order to be there for someone. I’m proud to be from a school where classes like the sixth grade exist, and I’m excited to see what they do in the future.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box.

Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Thanksgiving Means Giving Thanks!

Reprinted from OKC FRIDAY, Nov. 26, 2010

WE BELIEVE EVERY PRAYER should begin with three words: “THANK YOU, GOD.” One of the worst, and most overlooked sins of man is ingratitude.

This year on Thanksgiving Day, we hope you were able to adopt a positive attitude and not dwell on all the troubles and things going wrong for you.

As the song writer wrote: “Eliminate the

The Best of J. Leland Gourley

negative; Latch on to the Affirmative.”

Stop, think of all the good things, even the material things that haven’t always been available to us.

And more importantly, something we always have had: God, family, friends, love, friendship, ideals, knowledge, food, comfort, sunshine, brightness, rest, life, conversation, companionship, recreation.

For all of these, you owe a debt of gratitude to God, and to most of them, there also is someone else in your life to whom you need to say a great big “Thank You.” Do both. This 2010 Thanksgiving weekend, try harder to be a ray of sunshine wherever you are.

Shop local for your holiday gifts this year In MY Opinion by VICKI CLARK GOURLEY vicki@okcfriday.com

D

o not spend your Christmas money on the internet and, thus, take business away from our own local retailers, who spend their money here and support local charities. And most of all, provide jobs for our local people. There are extremely few

items you might be seeking that cannot be found in one of our thousands of local retailers right here in Greater Oklahoma City. Don’t just talk. Do it!

If you can’t get it in Oklahoma City, you can live without it.

READ THE ADS IN OKC FRIDAY. Great local stores have fabulous merchandise they have carefully selected for the tastes and needs of Oklahomans.

Do you call Amazon when you need donations for your local charitable events?

NO, of course not. You go to local stores and ask them to contribute. Shop and support our local merhants.

Visual artists are gamers too, yet video games are rarely examined as a major influence on contemporary art. “Open World” draws attention to this phenomenon through the presentation of artworks including painting, sculpture, textiles, prints, drawings, animation, video games, video game modifications and game-based performances and interventions by makers who self-identify as artists.
