Sweet little Ladybug
By Rose Lane Editor
Ladybug Emma Murray and friends gather for a picnic in Heritage Hall's third grade production of “Bugz!” The musical tells the story of many different insect species (from lady bugs to stink bugs) gathering for a country-style, hoedown picnic. For more on the production, see Page 9.
Ice storm debris removal is moving along in The Village and Nichols Hills. The Village City Manager Bruce Stone said the deadline for residents to have their limbs at curbside is Nov. 30. “If they miss that deadline, the residents will be responsible for disposal of the debris at their own expense,” he said. The clean up in The Village began on Oct. 28 with emergency contracts to clear streets of limbs. That effort took three days to complete. The city competitively bid storm debris removal and entered into three contracts. Each of See DEBRIS, Page 9

Judy Love to receive Lifetime Leadership Award The Societies of Oklahoma City University will honor Judy Love as the 2021 recipient of the Societies Lifetime Servant Leadership Award at the annual Awards of Excellence luncheon April 22, 2021. This award recognizes a past Societies honoree who is a current member and has shown continued exceptional involvement and service in the nonprofit community and the university. Love was selected after a unanimous selection committee vote due to her efforts in promoting the university’s and Oklahoma City area’s advancement. Her dedication to OCU is unique; with no personal
ties to the university, she stepped into leadership roles simply because of her generous nature. Because of her commitment, Love received an honorary Doctorate of Humanities and Letters from OCU in 2015. “I have worked alongside Judy in several nonprofit efforts but none dearer to me than OCU,” said fellow OCU Societies member Jane Jayroe Gamble. “She believes in OCU as Oklahoma City’s University and in the students that attend. People don’t always see the work that Judy does, but I hope the results are well known.” See SOCIETIES, Page 2

Red Andrews needs volunteers Due to the COVID-19 virus, the Red Andrews Christmas Dinner will be held at satellite locations throughout the city. There will be no indoor dining. All food will be packaged in to-go boxes, delivered to your car along with toys for children, Mary Blankenship Pointer, board secretary/treasurer, said. Each year, members of the Red Andrews family, local community leaders and event volunteers serve warm meals and provide toys for those in need – a holiday tradition that has continued since the 1940s. The event is free and open to the
public. “Last year we fed approximately 7,000 people and gave away thousands of toys and coats,” Pointer said. “The Red Andrews’ Christmas Dinner is our gift to the community.” But, due to the economic environment, the needs are greater this year than ever, she said. As always, the community is stepping up to help. “It has been incredible to witness Oklahomans working together in the spirit of serving our neighbors,” See DINNER, Page 7

Joining Fetrow in his transition to Oklahoma City and Heritage Hall will be his wife, Jodi, and two sons, Jadon and Zach. Jadon currently attends the University of the South (Sewanee, Tenn.). Zach will begin his junior year at Heritage Hall in 2021-22. “Jodi and I are ready to move west right now and join this thriving and welcoming community,” Fetrow said. “Zach shares our feelings and cannot wait to become a Charger, while Jadon is excited to experience his first visit in the coming months.” Information regarding opportunities to welcome the Fetrows to Oklahoma City and Heritage Hall and to honor the many contributions of the Bramble family will be posted to the school’s website (heritagehall.com).

Our Sister City Taipei shares its COVID response, advocates for WHO membership [Editor’s Note: OKC is celebrating 40 years of Sister City International relations with Taiwan this month.] By Dr. Chen Shih-chung Minister of Health and Welfare in the Republic of China (Taiwan) Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, there have been more than 40 million cases and more than one million deaths around the world. The virus has had an enormous impact on global politics, employment, economics, trade and financial systems, and significantly impacted the global efforts to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). Thanks to the united efforts of its entire people, Taiwan has responded to the threats posed by this pandemic through four principles: prudent action, rapid response, advance deployment, and openness and transparency. Adopting such strategies as the operation of specialized command systems, the implementation of meticulous border control measures, the production and distribution of adequate supplies of medical resources, the employ-
ment of home quarantine and isolation measures and related care services, the application of IT systems, the publishing of transparent and open information, and the execution of precise screening and testing, we have been fortunate to contain the virus. As of October 7, Taiwan has 523 confirmed cases and seven deaths; meanwhile, life and work continues as normal for the majority of people. The global outbreak of COVID-19 has reminded the world that infectious diseases know no borders and do not discriminate along political, ethnic, religious, or cultural lines. Nations should work together to address the threat of emerging diseases. For this reason, as soon as Taiwan stabilized its containment of the virus and ensured people had sufficient access to medical resources, we began to share our experience and exchange information on containing COVID-19 with global public health professionals and scholars, APEC’s High-Level Meeting on Health and the Economy, the Global Cooperation Training Framework, and other virtual bilateral
meetings. As of June 2020, Taiwan had held nearly 80 online conferences, sharing the Taiwan Model with experts from governments, hospitals, universities, and think tanks in 32 countries. Taiwan’s donations of medical equipment and antipandemic supplies also continue. By June, we had donated 51 million surgical masks, 1.16 million N95 masks, 600,000 isolation gowns, and 35,000 forehead thermometers to more than 80 countries. To ensure access to vaccines, Taiwan has joined the COVID-19 Vaccines Global Access Facility co-led by GAVI, the Vaccine Alliance; the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations; and the World Health Organization. And our government is actively assisting domestic manufacturers to accelerate the development and production of successful vaccines to put an end to this pandemic. To prepare for a possible next wave of the pandemic and the approaching flu season, Taiwan continues to encourage citizens to wear face masks and maintain social distancing, and strengthening border quaran-
tine measures, community-based prevention, and medical preparedness. Furthermore, we are actively collaborating with domestic and international partners to obtain vaccines and develop optimal treatments and accurate diagnostic tools, jointly safeguarding global public health security. The COVID-19 pandemic has proven Taiwan is an integral part of the global public health network and that the Taiwan Model can help combat the pandemic. To recover better, the World Health Organizatio (WHO) needs Taiwan. We urge the WHO and related parties to acknowledge Taiwan’s longstanding contributions to global public health, disease prevention, and the human right to health, and to firmly support Taiwan’s inclusion in the WHO. Taiwan’s comprehensive participation in WHO meetings, mechanisms, and activities would allow us to work with the rest of the world in realizing the fundamental human right to health as stipulated in the WHO Constitution and the vision of leaving no one behind enshrined in the UN SDGs.

uring the wild windstorm that swept through last weekend, I attended Lyric Theater’s outdoor, socially distant performance of A Christmas Carol at the Harn Homestead. The setting was perfect for the story. The costumes, production, cast, and direction were all fantastic. After enjoying a few scenes in front of the beautiful main house, the crowd was escorted around the corner to a clearing. That’s when the wind picked up. Actor extraordinaire Jonathan Beck Reed as Ebenezer Scrooge clung to a tree at the top of a very tall ladder, debating with the Ghost of Christmas Past while leaves rushed by his face at fifty miles an hour. It was totally awesome. He never missed a beat. Lyric’s decision to take a risk, to try something new, resulted in a riveting live performance that will stay with that audience for life. Something similar happened a month ago. We were in the middle of filming our movie, Finding Carlos, and decided to take a few of our cast and crew members to watch the Oklahoma City Ballet at Scissortail Park. The show was spectacular. Principal Dancer Jonathan Batista did
so many consecutive spins we lost count. The reaction of the crowd was equally magical. Casually dressed families shared picnic baskets with grandparents and children. Small groups of women sat around in formal gowns drinking champagne. And hundreds of tiny little girls leapt across their family blankets, spinning and giggling and spinning some more. Even as the crowds thinned an hour after the show, the families with little girls stayed put as their daughters and nieces and granddaughters danced the night away under the stars. The following week, we went to Oklahoma Contemporary to see RACE Dance Collective’s original new work, Expanse. Choreographer Brandi Kelley created the piece to interact with the outdoor light sculpture from artist Jen Lewin as part of the Bright Golden Haze: Reflections series. A booming bass drum provided the soundtrack while dancers jumped
across circles of light and mirrored movement from each other and the audience. Portions of the piece felt coordinated, while others felt like the dancers reacting to each other and the light from the sculpture itself. As soon as the dance finished, individual groups of teens and adults moved towards the light sculpture and started dancing as they had seen. All three of these outstanding performances were the result of innovation. The performing arts groups revised their plans, forged new partnerships, and created new versions of shows that were already in the works. The artists adapted their performances to new environments with new challenges. And, the audiences adjusted the way they viewed and experienced live performances. I am so grateful to be a part of a community that stands together so often, considers and addresses the needs of others, and meets challenges with a focus on solutions. And, I am thrilled to work amidst an artistic community that constantly rises up against the oncoming winds and delivers innovative, world class art.

Understanding residents may be on waiting lists for contractors to assist them with tree trimming, he said the city will reassess after the first round and conduct a second round of tree collection.

Pate said, however, residents should not place any tree limbs on any water meters, fire hydrants, electric facilities or gas meters. Information about which streets the contractor is working on is available by visiting nicholshills. net.

“Lower than 2 percent?” Mayor Sody Clements said. “I think so,” Brocelli said. That is due to the city’s excellent AA+ financial rating, he said.

Performances will run Thursday, Dec. 3 at 7:30pm and Friday and Saturday, Dec. 4 - 5 at 8:00pm at the Civic Center Music Hall.
It is time again for the annual YWCA Women Who Care Share Luncheon.

While we know this is the best decision for the health safety of the community, we still need to raise critical dollars for the personal safety of those whom we serve. This year, responding to the challenges and limitations COVID-19 has presented, we successfully adapted how we serve victims even within those challenges. And while
