Club gives injured cyclist ‘sense of purpose’

By Ford Watkins Student Intern It is an understatement to say that Alyssa Lutz is passionate about cycling.

Alyssa is an esteemed and accomplished cyclist and triathlete, having participated in some of the most enduring mountain biking events across the state and throughout the world. However, Alyssa’s mountain biking career was almost eradicated with a fall and injuries that posed a threat to her life.

After her accident, Alyssa sustained a brain injury, a flail shoulder and chest, seven broken ribs, a broken clavicle and a broken scapula.

Alyssa made a miraculous recovery and took time in her recovery to find another “sense of purpose.”

“During times of thought and prayer with my loved ones,” she said. “I realized that I could continue my passion for health and wellness while simultaneously giving back to the community.

Alyssa Lutz and Keyth Howry began a Bike Club at Nichols Hills Elementary after Alyssa sustained a life-threatening injury. Students who complete the 20-25week program earn a bicycle and helmet. Pictured from left: front row, Andrew Harton, Pranavi Bhandari, Kenia Herrera, Kamiyah Jenkins, Monte Thomas; and back row, Alyssa Lutz, club organizer, and Aaron Kellert, principal.

Alyssa started what is now Bike Club OKC. The pair designed the website and self-promoted and fundraised.

The two also received help from cycling stores.

Alyssa and Keyth created something she said they hope will be very special.

Alyssa said they decided to have members of the Bike Club be fourth graders from Nichols Hills Elementary, because that is the school closest to their home.

After receiving 57 applications, Alyssa and Keyth could only accept 25 students.

She said they are hoping to add more spots for next year’s club.

Members of the club ride after school. The program teaches elements of collaboration, safety and fitness, while kids also learn how to ride a bike or simply improve their cycling skills.

A new timeline has been set for the Britton Road reconstruction project between Penn and May Avenue, a project that has affected local businesses, residents and commuters since the beginning of the year.

The Village city manager, Bruce Stone, said after a meeting with the Oklahoma City Water Department, ODOT and Crossland Construction Company, Inc., the new pavement should be completed by mid to late December.

Stone said the project was nearly delayed an additional three months after crews had a conflict with a water line which goes across Sunnymeade Place and Britton Road and was in the way of a new storm drain.

“When they started to go in and do the work, they found that there was a 20-inch water line that was in the way,” he said.

“That was a big concern because it’s a large water line and it could potentially be really expensive for them to move and time consuming.”

ODOT engineers and Crossland contractors believe they have found a way to get around the water line, but inclement weather is always a factor. They are in the process of getting the water out of the hole as they build a box around it, so drainage can flow across the street instead, without having to See BRITTON, Page 3

Strong credit rating results in ‘big win’ in NHills bond sale

By Ashley Haley Staff Writer The Nichols Hills City Council voted to sell a total of $7.8 million in bonds after voters passed a general obligation bond to improve city facilities.

At its most recent council meeting, the council approved a bid of 1.91 percent interest rate from the Baker Group of Oklahoma

City, who offered the lowest rate of four bids.

Zack Robinson, of BOK Financial Securities, Inc. of Oklahoma City, said due to the city’s strong credit rating, investors from across the country favored the sale. He said the second lowest bid was for 1.96 percent, so it was very competitive.

“It’s an outstanding testament to the work that is

going on here, both with staff and the council to navigate and guide the city,” Robinson said. “This was a big win for taxpayers. The rate that we were able to secure on the bonds will mean that we pay the lowest amount of interest on the bond issue. That’s always our goal.”

Nichols Hills Mayor Steve Goetzinger also expressed his excitement

and said the low percentage was a testament of the city’s credit rating.

Four years ago, Nichols Hills voters passed a $22 million general obligation bond to improve the city’s streets, water system, sanitary sewer system, traffic control system, public works facility, drainage control system, park, town hall and communications system.

Programs and curricula are responsive and tailored to the academic needs of students as they chart their individual paths to reach their potential. Our teachers do exceptional work in delivering this customized instruction. They strive for continual student improvement,

“The problem is, we don’t know what the weather is going to do.

It’s not a good time of year,” Stone said.

New pavement from Penn to Johnnie’s Charcoal Broiler on Britton Road is expected to be completed by Dec. 1. The rest of the pavement from Johnnie’s to May Avenue should be finished by the end of December.

If the new pavement isn’t completed by the end of December, Stone said The Village City Council will probably have to consider changing the direction of traffic. At a council meeting, council members discussed directing traffic through a neighborhood, but said it wasn’t a good plan due to the amount of traffic that travels Britton Road daily.

“It would be a last resort because of the impact it would have with people traveling through neighborhoods,” he said. “It could be helpful for the businesses, but it might not be so great for the neighborhoods.”

and they have a growth mindset focused on positively impacting every student that enters the classroom.”

Cognia is a nonprofit school accrediting agency that conducts rigorous, on-site reviews of educational institutions and provides continuousimprovement resources and support to education leaders across the globe to ensure all learners realize their potential.

Nominations for this award were received from a variety of sources including volunteers, Engagement Review team members, lead evaluators, field consultants, Cognia Advisory Committee members and staff.

“Cognia’s values

resonate when describing Bishop McGuinness, as the school connects with its stakeholders in an effort to improve,” Dr. Lori Hopkins, Cognia regional director, said.

“The school’s mission — educating and developing the whole person, providing a moral, ethical, and Christ-centered compass for life and a spiritual academic and social life, forming a Person for Others — illustrates it stands for the learner."

Cognia’s values include: ● Dream big. We are not constrained by the current environment or framework even as we work within existing systems. ● Stand for the learner. We represent the interests of all

The original plan called for the road to be reconstructed in four separate sections, but after issues with a fiberoptic cable, the traffic control plan had to be changed.

After the new pavement has been installed, additional projects like sidewalks and other finishing touches will be completed.

Eighty percent of The Britton Road reconstruction project is federally funded and the

other 20 percent is funded through The City of The Village 2018 General Obligation Bond issue. The Village pays a total of $1 million, including all engineering costs. The FederalState-Local Project costs $4 million and is managed by ODOT. “We knew when we started that it was going to be very disruptive.

Hopefully, we can see the light at the end of the tunnel now,” Stone said.

Casady yearbook brings home 14 awards from OSM Members of the Casady yearbook staff, known as the Twister, attended the Oklahoma Scholastic Media’s 104th Annual Fall Media Monday at the University of Oklahoma.

Casady's awards included first place in multiple categories such as Theme Development/Design, Student Life Story, Academic Story, Packaging/Structure, Caption Writing, Feature Presentation, Student Life Spread, Sports Spread and the All-Oklahoma Award.

“The students that develop our yearbook work each day to produce high quality content to tell the story of Casady School at an excep-

tional level,” Nathan Sheldon, head of school, said. “The awards received at OSM’s Fall Media Day reinforces the commitment each of the yearbook staff has to produce an exceptional publication for our community each year.”

The Twister serves to catalog each school year in photos and written stories. The Twister is produced by Upper Division students enrolled in a year-long course focused on the gathering of content, assembly, editing, and production.

Students develop skills in event photography, article writing, layout design and design software during the course of the year.

PC North’s DECA puts on a fashion show

W

hat does the framework of setting up a fashion show consist of?

DECA just recently put one on.

“For nine weeks, we prepared for a while, not everyday, but three to four days a week,” DECA sponsor Marie Page said.

There are many challenges in setting up any type of production. The first step was deciding on a theme. This year they decided to name the fashion show Without Warning.

“As always, there is a major challenge getting outfits that we needed. We called different clothing

stores and worked with them on what styles they had that would fit the different categories,” said Page. “The biggest challenge this year was that we didn't get our stage until the 22nd and our show was on the 24th. It just made it difficult because we had to practice on a makeshift stage.”

For the students, it could be emotionally challenging to step

into the spotlight.

“I was nervous to be in the show, but I got over it by acting like I was talking to one person,” senior Nautica Thomas said.

While the fashion show was entertaining for the student body, it was also an opportunity to apply real world skills to a production.

“They have to learn that communication is key. They are going to fail, and when they do, they've learned how to solve the issues,” Page said.

Everything students learned by putting on the fashion show they could

translate into other situations.

“I gained time management, team leadership and social skills,” senior Halyn Nguyen said.

DECA students had to improve their social skills in order to be successful.

“I learned how to work with others and how to communicate,” Thomas said.

Through everyone's hard work and dedication, the fashion show of 2019 was a success. The DECA team pulled together through all the obstacles to show off their talent.

Will they do it again in 2020? Of course they will.

Gray Frederickson Hall of Fame

G

ray Frederickson was inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame this week. Frederickson is the Oscar winning producer of The Godfather, Part II. He is the founder and Artist in Residence for the largest film and video program in Oklahoma at Oklahoma City Community College.

And, he is the only Oscar winner living and working in Oklahoma.

Gray Frederickson grew up in Oklahoma City, where he attended Casady School before studying at the University of Oklahoma. After graduation, he moved to Switzerland to study at the University of Lausanne. While teaching water skiing lessons there, he met an Italian movie producer that convinced him to move to Rome to start making films.

Frederickson quickly found work on both Italian and U.S. based movie productions. He was eventually hired by legendary Italian director Sergio Leone to manage the production of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly with Clint Eastwood. The success of that film inspired Frederickson to move to Hollywood to launch his career there.

Once stateside, Frederickson landed a series of production jobs, including production managing Robert Redford’s

Little Fauss and Big Halsy. But, his big break came when he was hired by Albert S. Ruddy to help produce The Godfather.

The Godfather is now considered one of the best films of all time. But, before it was made, gangster movies were out of fashion. The Italian bosses in New York were doing everything they could to keep a movie about the mafia from being made.

Frederickson’s experience working in Italy and his connections with people there helped ease the tensions and open up discussions that led to the picture being made.

The Godfather also established a partnership between Frederickson and director Francis Ford Coppola that would define his career for the next decade. Frederickson won the Academy Award for producing The Godfather, Part II. And, he was Oscar nominated for leading the enormous three-year production of Apocalypse Now. But the film that would change his life again was The Outsiders.

Frederickson gave S.E. Hinton’s book to

Francis Ford Coppola.

He believed that The Outsiders was not only a great story, but one that could be told more authentically if it was filmed on location in Oklahoma.

Frederickson flew Coppola to Tulsa, led the location scout, and convinced him that the studios would be far less intrusive if they made the movie in Oklahoma. Coppola agreed. And, the film was produced in Tulsa, kicking off a string of film productions in Oklahoma that continues to this day.

Following on the success of The Outsiders, Frederickson decided it was time to move his family back home. He saw the potential and wanted to help build a film industry in Oklahoma. With help from Fritz Kiersch and Bud Elder, Frederickson launched the film and video program at OCCC. These days, every single production that takes place in Oklahoma, including the latest film starring Matt Damon, is filled with people that were trained by, worked with, or took classes from Gray Frederickson. I know because I am one of those people. Gray was my first boss in film and a key reason I am still making movies 15 years later. Thanks, Gray.

Congratulations on the Oklahoma Hall of Fame.

ON THIS OKC FRIDAY EDITORIAL OPINION PAGE: We urge courtesy in disagreement. We view with favor wise public choices and view with alarm flawed public choices. We give good advice to public officials at federal, state and local levels, and society in general, on what to do right. So, if they don’t take our advice, it’s not our fault.

We built this city on MAPs In the 1990s, United Airlines executives spent a secret weekend here, downtown. Afterward, they dropped OKC from their list of possible places for a new facility, basically saying, “there’s nothing to do there.”

Now, as we get ready to vote on MAPs 4, we have built this city into a tourist destination and

will make it even better when we vote for MAPs 4.

With no tax increase, we will once again be ahead of the rest of the country in preparing for tomorrow’s needs.

We love our OKC Thunder, and MAPs 4 will bring our arena up to current NBA standards. Otherwise, we could be in danger of losing our fran-

chise.

The Innovation District and multi-purpose stadium, a mental health facility, addressing the needs of the homeless, a new animal shelter, all the projects will put us ahead of most of the other Top 50 cities.

Let’s keep it going OKC!

Excessive sentences destroying our Families It’s no secret that Oklahoma is one of the world’s largest incarcerators and has led the nation in female incarceration rates for nearly three decades. A lesser-known statistic is that Oklahoma also leads the nation in childhood trauma and that our incarceration rates have a lot to do with this trend.

Oklahoma has the highest percentage of children who suffer multiple adverse childhood expe-

riences (ACEs). Studies have linked ACEs to a wide range of life-long health problems and social issues.

Having a parent in prison is an ACE, and it’s a very likely scenario for thousands of Oklahoma children. We have the dubious distinction of some of the highest rates of incarceration in the nation; particularly female incarceration, meaning that many families are without mothers who are primary caregivers.

The core of Oklahoma’s incarceration crisis are excessive sentencing and sentence enhancements.

These harsh practices are putting Oklahoma parents into prison for far too long, tearing families apart and inflicting trauma on Oklahoma children.

This past week, a new ballot initiative was filed by a diverse, bipartisan coalition. The initiative proposes a common-sense reform intended to end excessive sentencing practices and allows those who have already received an extreme sentence to petition a court for relief.

For Oklahoma to excel, we need to ensure all children have an opportunity to succeed in life. As it stands right now, our criminal justice policies are tearing children away from their families, with lifelong impacts that harm Oklahoma kids. I support this important initiative because I believe it

Finish Britton Road Seems impossible that there are businesses still open along Britton Road.

The construction has been ongoing for so long. I even made the mistake of trying to enter Cassidy Square from Britton rather than the lonely entrance on Penn.

ND Foods is a favorite, yet almost impossible to visit.

My vet at Britton Road Animal Clinic must be entered from an inconvenient back route.

Why has this project been so slow? When I was back there last week two workers were sitting in their trucks and I saw no one out working on the road.

Can you provide the name of the contractor or was it subcontracted out?

In any case, it has taken too long and should be dealt with immediately. The (OKC FRIDAY) cartoon was right on target!!

More needs to be brought to the attention of those governing that area.

Thank you,

Obituary/Students

Ann Taylor was an extraordinary community leader Ann Taylor – Mrs. John Allen Taylor — died peacefully in Oklahoma City on Nov. 7, 2019. She was born to Viola and Charles Everett Eaton in western Oklahoma and later moved to Oklahoma City where her father served as a coach and civics teacher in the Oklahoma City public schools. During World War II, she deferred entry into college to marry John A. (“Jack”) Taylor, a University of Oklahoma Naval cadet, in 1945. Ann and Jack moved several times with their two sons and oldest daughter in the late 1940s and 1950s before settling perma-

ANN and JACK TAYLOR

nently in Nichols Hills in the early 1960s where their youngest daughter was born.

Ann was a truly extraordinary community leader and activist ahead of her time. She served as the first woman on the Nichols Hills City Council and later as the city’s first woman mayor. Later, Ann sold

real estate in Nichols Hills and in 2015 she co-authored a book on her home community entitled “Nichols Hills: A Residential Community,” with Konrad Keesee, a real estate firm owner. She was also active in the Nichols Hills parks and worked to have one small park named for her late son, Doug.

Ann served as the first chairman and later the national chairman for the Interstate Coordinating Council for Early Intervention, an agency that provides support and advocacy for children with disabilities. She also served on the Commission on Children

and Youth. In a welldeserved recognition of her work on behalf of children with disabilities, Ann was awarded the Ann Taylor Chair in Pediatrics and Developmental Disabilities in Physical Therapy from the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center in 2006.

In addition to her work in government and politics, Ann was a valued volunteer for the Oklahoma City Symphony and Orchestra League. She was also active in All Souls Episcopal Church and the Guild of St. George Episcopal Mission, which served Oklahoma City residents with food

and housing needs.

The simple things in life that Ann loved give a glimpse into her wonderful personality. She loved old musicals, big band music, cats, Johnnie’s Theta cheeseburgers, chocolate (especially dark chocolate), and the 4th of July, complete with John Phillip Sousa marches.

Ann had many friends, and her community accomplishments are indeed impressive. But her greatest joy and devotion were to her family – as a wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.

“Grandma Ann,” as she was affectionately

known to her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren alike, will be missed by all who knew and loved her.

She is survived by her son Jerry (Carol Sue) Taylor, daughters Kay Taylor and Jan Taylor Garrett (Daniel), grandchildren Dawn Taylor, Laurel Levasheff (Nadeem), Katie Wendorf (Lane) and Jonas Siegel (Sarah), and great-grandchildren Sarah and Emily Biegelsen, Delaney and Dalton Wendorf, Hayleh Uddin, and Viola Siegel. Ann’s husband Jack and son Doug pre-deceased her. Services will be held in early 2020.

Mount St. Mary Homecoming — a tradition like no other

By Joshua Cleary Student Writer The smell of burgers and hotlinks on the grill, the sound of Larry Pierce, voice of the Rockets, from the booth, a glistening tiara on the head of the queen and cheers from fans after a big time catch, but most importantly, the sight of a family, one big family, together in fellowship, celebrating a tradition like no other. Homecoming.

At Mount St Mary Catholic High School, we are most definitely a school of joy. A school of jubilation. A school of cel-

ebration.

As a school with a rich history, and alumni who invest back into the future of their alma mater, homecoming is the perfect opportunities for The Mount to show off what has now been made possible from these generous benefactors.

Homecoming means celebration. Homecoming means fellowship. The time of homecoming brings a community together who has a genuine love for their peers.

Future Rockets starting their time in preschool, all the way to a graduate of the Class of 1958, come together to reflect

Heritage scholars, athletes going strong

N

ovember has been an exciting month for Heritage Hall’s academic and athletic teams.

Among the highlights: national signing day celebrations, stellar debate tournament runs, a podium finish for Academic Bowl and a first round victory in the OSSAA football playoffs.

Debate began the month with a successful showing at the Moore Lions Classic.

In the varsity policy division, the senior team of Alex Nguyen and Collin Smith won the tournament with a perfect 5-0 record; juniors Joyce Hua and Kaylie Kerr finished fifth.

Freshman Bardia Ghoreyan and sophomore Peter Boggs debated their way to the novice policy division semis.

At Edmond Santa Fe, Heritage Hall closed out the final of the 6A varsity policy division with the twoperson team of senior Saif Salim and junior Sam Ring and the three-person team of juniors Jasmyne Le, Joyce Hua and Krish Patel serving as co-champions. Also at Edmond, Le was awarded first place speaker and all of the debaters earned a bid

• On Saturday, Nov. 16, nine students left early in the morning for Little Axe, OK to compete in the Academic Bowl district tournament and area qualifier. Although the team got off to a rocky start, the Chargers fought their way to a third place finish to qualify for the next level of competition.

• National signing day saw four seniors sign letters of intent – congratulations to Heidi Cook, Boston University, rowing; Lale Edil, University of Oklahoma, rowing; Ben Thionett, Oklahoma City University, golf; and Madison Parduhn, Auburn University, equestrianism.

• Also in athletics, to the delight of football fans, the Chargers kicked off postseason play with a resounding 42-0 victory over the Purcell Dragons in the first round of the state playoffs.

on what this amazing school has made possible for them.

Inside the school, dress up days and pep rallies bring the school family together as one.

The theme this year focused around “Home.”

Students know this place as home and so have many others throughout the years.

Knowing this place to be one of welcoming and that it will always be that way is so reassuring to the alumni, so much so that they are drawn back every year to come and celebrate the tradition like no other. Homecoming.

Section 11. The City reasonably anticipates that the aggregate amount of “qualified tax-exempt obligations” (as defined in section 265(b)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)), which will be issued by the City and all subordinate entities thereof during calendar year 2020 will not exceed $10,000,000, and hereby covenants and agrees, as a material inducement and consideration to the purchasers of its Bonds, that neither the City nor any subordinate entity thereof will, during calendar year 2020, issue “qualified tax-exempt obligations” (as defined in Section 265(b)(3)(B) of the Code), in an aggregate amount exceeding $10,000,000.

Further, it is the purpose and intent of this Ordinance that the Bonds shall constitute and the Bonds are hereby designated as “qualified tax-exempt obligations” as defined in Section 265(b)(3)(B) of the Code, in order that the purchasers of the Bonds may avail themselves of the exception contained in said Section 265(b)(3)(B) of the Code with respect to interest incurred to carry tax-exempt bonds. The City hereby covenants and agrees that it will not designate as “qualified tax-exempt obligations” more than $10,000,000 in aggregate amount of obligations issued by the City or any subordinate entity thereof during calendar year 2020. Notwithstanding other provisions of this section, the City and other related entities may issue obligations, provided that the issuance of such obligations do not disqualify the Bonds as “qualified tax-exempt obligations” as defined by Section 265(b)(3)(B) of the Code.

Section 13. Emergency Declared. It is the judgment of the City Council that by reason of the City being without adequate streets improvements, water system improvements, sanitary sewer system improvements, fire improvements, technology improvements, police improvements, traffic control improvements and public works facility improvements it is deemed and hereby declared necessary for the immediate preservation of peace, welfare, health and safety that this Ordinance become effective immediately and without delay.

Here’s How It Works:

Ken Carpenter Auction & Realty 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!
