Annual family game marks 49

By Rose Lane Editor The 49th Annual Supper Bowl looked a little different for the Shapard family.

Only for the sake of photos, masks were removed and social distancing was briefly limited. Some family members didn’t attend and others only were a part

of the outdoor events.

Those who came from out-of-town altered their transportation to ensure the safest options.

But, the Shapard family tradition went on.

“Thanksgiving is by far the biggest holiday celebration for our family,” Nicole Jacobsen, daughter of the tradition’s founders, said. “It includes a Wednesday

night pizza party, a 20page color program, a tradition-rich football game on Thanksgiving Day, which is followed by a Thanksgiving evening dinner banquet with trophy presentations.

“It goes so far as to say that it’s ‘first date’ conversation for any single member of our family. The deal that has to be

made is that Thanksgiving will always be in Oklahoma City and spent with our family. Potential spouses can have any/every other holiday with their families throughout the year, but Thanksgiving is always with our extended family in OKC.” The Supper Bowl tradition and all of its glory

was lovingly created by Eddie Shapard back in 1971, Nicole said. The first Supper Bowl football game was played in 1972.

“He envisioned this very special family celebration that has grown and evolved over the last 5 decades into what it is today — a celebration of See BOWL, Page 2

Navy Under Secretary makes first trip to North Korea

American Ambassador Don Blome and Under Secretary of the Navy Greg Slavonic are standing in front of the burial marker of Corporal James H. Appleton Jr., a Oklahoma soldier who perished during the fighting of the North African campaign in May 1943. Slavonic was invited to the North African American Cemetery, in Tunis, Tunisia to participate in the annual Veterans Day ceremony. There are 2,413 soldiers buried at the cemetery and 90 are from Oklahoma.

Secretary Gregory J. Slavonic, who is performing the duties of Under Secretary of the Navy, made his first visit to North Africa while serving in this capacity, visiting from Nov. 8-12.

During his visit to the region, the under secretary traveled to Egypt and Tunisia to advance defense objectives pertaining to maritime domain awareness, maritime security and global power competition with two key partners in the region.

Slavonic’s first stop was in Egypt where he met with top U.S. and Egyptian officials, including the U.S. Ambassador to Egypt Jonathan Cohen and

Help needed for annual Red Andrews Christmas dinner

By Vicki Clark Gourley Publisher The COVID 19 virus dramatically affected the Red Andrews Christmas Dinner this year, but not the need. Local civic leaders on the board have made some tough decisions to better ensure a safer environment for volunteers and the community.

A gift to the community, donations of thousands of coats, toys

and a Christmas dinner are the hallmarks of the day. The volunteers served Christmas dinner to approximately 7,000 people last year. More than 9,000 people are anticipated this year.

Donations of new, unwrapped toys and coats will be accepted at the following locations: Jackie Cooper BMW – 14145 N Broadway, the Goldman Law Firm – 222 NW 13th; See DINNER, Page 2

the Commander of the Egyptian Navy Vice Admiral Ahmed Khaled Hassan.

“We value our strategic partnership with Egypt, which is based on shared security interests and a desire to strengthen stability in the region. This administration places a high priority on the U.S. — Egypt relationship,” said Slavonic.

While speaking with Khaled at the Ras el Tin Navy Base, Slavonic highlighted how the two countries continue to work together and the appreciation he has for Egypt’s continued participation in exercises such as Bright Star, Eagle Salute and

Eagle Response, which aim to enhance interoperability and war-fighting readiness, fortify military-to-military relationships, and advance operational capabilities of all participating units.

“The Egyptian Navy is a valued partner in the region. It is critical that we continue to work together to maintain freedom of navigation as one of our top priorities,” said Slavonic.

During his time in Egypt, the secretary also met with senior military officials from the Ministry of Defense and made a See SLAVONIC, Page B7

BOWL From Page B1 family and togetherness steeped in tradition, history and lots of pomp and circumstance,” Nicole said. “Eddie created, prepared and implemented most aspects of the Supper Bowl events with his wife, Sandy, and he

served as the master of ceremonies for 40 years.”

Eddie passed away in 2012 and the responsibilities of coordinating, organizing and implementing Supper Bowl have been passed to the next generation.

“Our goal has always been to make him and the other members of the Supper Bowl Hall of Fame (which includes his

Family traditions parents, David and Tennybelle Shapard and his older brother, David Shapard Jr., as well as other treasured family members who have all passed away) proud of how we represent our family and lift each other up with love,” Nicole said.

The official start of the Thanksgiving season for the Shapard family begins with the arrival in the

mail of the 20-page fullcolor program, that is now produced by Ericka Shapard Croft, and is sent out to all family members.

The program is filled with pictures from the previous year’s Supper Bowl, family events from the year, a team roster, details about all of the related events, some games and trivia, Chubbisms (Eddies’ family words of wisdom to always live by), the “Tale of Ancient Lore” (the “official” story of how the family began, a magical tale spun by the eloquent and creative pen of Eddie in the 1970s and passed down as “fact” ever since), a Rappin’ Tale of Ancient Lore (a rap version of the original story, created by Nathan Shapard and Dustin Shapard in the early 1980s), game day protocols, past game scores, past award winners, the Supper Bowl Hall of Fame, Family News Flashes from the year, true tales from the family chronicles, as well as lots of pictures and other special features.

Then, Supper Bowl events kick off on Wednesday night, with Tafebdnaffal Games, a themed party that gives family members a chance to hang out and get caught up before the big game on Thanksgiving.

The Thanksgiving Day football game is played at Grand Boulevard Park in Nichols Hills. It is videotaped for history’s sake,

Nicole said. The park is officially named Fumble Field for the game.

Nicole said there are two teams — the Grammees and the Big Papas.

They are named after her grandmother and grandfather, Tennybelle and David Shapard.

“Back in 1972, when everything started, husbands and wives were put on opposite teams and grandchildren (and now great grandchildren) were assigned in birth order to alternating teams,” Nicole said.

“Each child, when they turn 5-years-old, will receive their official Supper Bowl jersey and nickname in an elaborate pregame ceremony (think dinner rolls being thrown at them and a magical cannon that shoots out their official jersey if they are deemed ‘worthy’).”

The day begins with pre-game festivities that include parades, introductions and skits, a group National Anthem performed with an American flag and the ceremonial coin toss by the captains, those family members under the age of 12.

A giant fork and spoon are marched by the children to the opposing end zones to signify the start of the game, Nicole said.

The youngest generation plays the first quarter, the adults play the second quarter, men and kids 12 and older play the third quarter and everyone

plays the fourth quarter.

Nicole said fans are always welcome, but the cost of admission is to perform some type of half-time entertainment.

Nathan and Katy Shapard now host the Thanksgiving dinner and awards ceremony.

“We have multiple traveling trophies and merit awards that are given out each year,” Nicole said. “The trophies are voted on at dinner by each family member and presented that evening.

David Shapard III, has filled the big shoes of Eddie and taken the reigns as the master of ceremonies to present the trophies after dinner.”

The trophies include: • The Grammee Award, named after Tennybelle Shapard, beloved Grammee, which is given based on some of her best qualities of compassion, level-headedness and exuberance.

• The Big Papa Award, named after David Shapard Sr., the legendary “Big Papa”, which is given based on his best qualities of good sportsmanship and bringing out the best in others.

• The Old World Award, which was renamed the Edwin J. Shapard Memorial Old World Award, in 2013, and is given for the best skit, costume, float or pregame introduction).

• The Outlandish Award, re-named the David C. Shapard Jr. Outlandish Award, in 2012, in honor of the most outlandish beloved Uncle David and is given for the most spectacular, outrageous or most memorable play of the game.

•The Shapardsonian Award, which is given to the player who is deemed to have played the best during the game, to the best of his/her ability.

All of these trophies are passed from person to person each year and are engraved with the winners name and the year.

“We also give out a variety of merit awards during the banquet, that include special tributes to the youngest family members for their achievements during the game, as well as special guests and other appropriately deserving feats,” Nicole said.

Needless to say, the Shapard family Thanksgiving festivities are quite a grand production which can only happen with a lot of effort and dedication on the part of many people.

“But it’s more than worth it to reinforce the love and joy that was originally envisioned 49 years ago by Eddie and now that commitment to family lives firmly in our next generation of children,” Nicole said. “It’s exactly what he hoped for all those years ago.”

EDMOND – Down a touchdown late in the fourth quarter, the McGuinness defense hoped to stop Carl Albert on their final series to set up a potential game-winning drive of their own.

The top-ranked Titans, however, had other ideas as they scored on an 18-play, 68-yard drive and converted two fourth downs on the way to a 33-21 win over McGuinness last Saturday to claim their fifth straight Class 5A state championship at UCO’s Wantland Stadium.

“We just couldn’t seem to get off the field,” Irish coach Bryan Pierce said after the game. “We got some stops at times but (Carl Albert) converted on several third downs.”

McGuinness opened the game with 5-play, 60-yard drive which ended on quarterback Luke Tarman’s 41-yard

touchdown pass to Gavin Johnston.

Carl Albert answered with two straight TDs but the Irish retook the lead midway through the second quarter on a 13-yard pass from Tarman to his brother Paul Tarman.

Both special teams units were on full display as the Irish and Titans ran off several

long kickoff returns.

McGuinness’ Michael Taffe boasted more than 200 return yards on the night, with one 65-yard run back set the Irish up inside the Carl Albert 10-yard line for their final score of the game.

Taffe finished off the short series with a 9yard TD run.

“We spend a lot of

time working on special teams,” Pierce said.

“It was nice to see guys make some plays.”

In his final start, Luke Tarman completed 11 of 25 passes for 141 yards. Tarman was also one of 18 seniors to play in three state championship games over the last four years.

Despite the surge of fantastic documentary series in 2020, there were still plenty of documentary feature films that delighted, disturbed and drove national debates.

The best documentary film of 2020 is Athlete A, a Netflix original about women’s gymnastics that follows the Indianapolis Starr reporters who broke the story on Larry Nassar, the long-time doctor for USA Gymnastics and convicted sex offender.

The star of Athlete A is Maggie Nichols, the NCAA All Around Gymnastic Champion from the University of Oklahoma. Nichols was the first athlete to report Dr. Nassar to USA Gymnastics, hence the title Athlete A. The film looks at how the revelation affected Nichols’ career as an elite gymnast, and helped draw international attention to wide spread abuse within the sport.

Athlete A is produced by Jennifer Sey, a former U.S. Gymnastic Champion, current Global Marketing Officer for Levi Strauss, and one of my closest friends from college. Jen and I created our first short film together in 2006 called The Gymnast.

Yes, I’m biased. The film is still great.

Billie, the searing portrait of singer and activist Billie Holi-

day, is another film that grabbed me early in the year and wouldn’t let go. Crafted from extraordinary interviews from the 1970’s, Billie offers an unflinching look at her amazing talent, the drug and sex addictions that haunted her career, and the massive political risks she took addressing racism in her shows.

Filled with awesome performances restored into color for the first time, Billie is a blistering look at a fierce, fascinating woman in American history.

Collective - This Romanian journalism documentary, which debuted at Sundance last January, offers an intriguing look at the awesome, antagonistic relationship between government and the press, free from any US political overtones.

Collective follows a small, independent sports weekly that uncovers huge corruption in the Romanian national health system and challenges top levels of government. It is a great underdog story and a wonderful reminder of the power and responsibility of the press.

The most enjoyable

documentary this year was The Go Go’s, an exciting portrait of the first all-female group to write their own songs, play their own instruments, and make it to number one on the Billboard charts. Starting with their early punk days in Los Angeles, the movie delves into the lives of the individual band members and explores how sex, drugs, jealousy, and the sexism of the music industry broke up the biggest all girl rock band in history.

Eddie, the definitive Eddie Sutton documentary from filmmakers Christopher Hunt and David Tester, kicked off the 20th annual deadCenter Film Festival at the Winchester Drive-In before making its national debut on ESPN alongside Michael Jordan’s The Last Dance.

Eddie offers an intimate look at one of Oklahoma’s greatest, and most complicated sports legends.

Through interviews with fellow coaches, players, family members, and the man himself, the film addresses the controversies and acknowledges the challenges, while allowing the brilliant life and career to shine through. Sutton’s entry in the Basketball Hall of Fame provides the perfect ending to this beautifully told story.

Our schools do De-Stress Fests!

A

s first semester comes to a close, students spent hours studying for their final exams. Finals week officially kicked off Dec. 14, with freshmen taking their first ever high school finals.

For the freshmen, their finals are only worth 10 percent of their final semester grade, since this testing environment is new. With all the curveballs of this school year, students were unsure of whether in-person finals would take place. In order to relieve some of the stress, Student Council

Normally, finals would take place over three days, with two finals each day. Instead, testing took place over six days, where most

CHRISTMAS with NO PRESENTS for the kids

I

T IS TRAGIC TO THINK that some Oklahoma City families of mothers and little children will not have much Christmas in their homes come Christmas Day. Imagine the little eyes of little children on Christmas Day when they see other kids romp and play and be happy with a full belly. Yet their stomachs want for nourishment.

Are we going to let this happen in America, the land of plenty? Will we, in the city with the largest per capita payroll in Oklahoma, let little children about us go without enjoying the full spirit of Christmas?

How can you stuff yourself while some mother less than five miles away has to look down into the eyes of her little children? She doesn’t see sparkling eyes and bright shining faces. She sees bewilderment.

She sees her own flesh and blood puzzled by it all, wondering why they, too, do not

A devotional

The Christmas story

By Cindy Western, Pastor of Discipleship Material, Crossings Community Church Almost everyone is familiar with the Bible passage where the angel comes to the shepherds to announce the birth of Jesus. This passage was made famous by Linus’ speech in “A Charlie Brown Christmas” movie where Charlie Brown asks, “Isn’t there anyone who knows what Christmas is all about?” Linus boldly declares, “Sure, Charlie Brown! I can tell you what Christmas is all about” and goes on to do something you don’t see very often on mainstream TV — he recites Scripture: “And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.”

(Luke 2:8-14 KJV) Linus got it right. This is the true

meaning of Christmas. But it isn’t just the angels’ proclamation of the Savior’s birth — it is who the angels went to with the message in the first place. Imagine for a minute that you are God, and it is time to announce the most amazing, joyous news ever: an event which would literally change history — the birth of your one and only Son, Jesus Christ, who would be the Savior of the world. Who do you announce it to? Who will you tell first?

You might have chosen kings, presidents, or influential religious leaders, but that isn’t what God did. He chose to send his angels to invite the shepherds, who were considered social and religious outcasts, to receive the birth announcement. God wanted to show that His love doesn’t discriminate on the basis of social class, wealth, or reputation. He doesn’t respect kings more than day laborers; he does not value priests and pastors above the people in the pews. God lifts up the lowly and humble, right sizes inflated egos and puts all of creation on equal footing.

By choosing the shepherds to be the first to receive the news of Christ’s birth, God made it clear that Jesus was not going to be the Savior only of kings and governors, or popes and pastors. Jesus is the Savior of all equally; he doesn’t come to save based on any of your accomplishments or your power or influence. This is Good News, for all people. Jesus comes to all, and all are welcome.

PUBLIC NOTICE How much do public notices cost? The Oklahoma Legislature sets a rate, which is typically much lower than other newspaper ad rates, so the cost of notices can be controlled, and exact wording – rather than a summary – printed.

The public is well-served by notices published in a community newspaper.

Classifieds Work!

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!

SLAVONIC From Page B1 visit to the Suez Canal Authority, viewing the new marine port and transit building.

In Tunisia, Slavonic participated in a Veteran’s Day Wreath-Laying Ceremony, alongside U.S. Ambassador to Tunisia, Donald Blome at the North Africa American Cemetery.

Dedicated in 1960, the 27-acre cemetery is the resting place for 2,841 U.S. military personnel. The cemetery also includes a Wall of the Missing, upon which are inscribed the names of 3,724 individuals who are missing in action.

Most of those buried at the North Africa American Cemetery or those memorialized on the Wall of the Missing lost their lives while conducting military activities ranging from North Africa to the Persian Gulf during World War II. ““It was an honor to be in Tunisia on Veteran’s Day, to lay a wreath at the North Africa American Cemetery, the final resting place of thousands of young Americans whose sacrifices helped open the door for the allied victory in World War II,” said Slavonic. “It is vital that we

recognize the brave men and women who have served and are continuing to service their country, leading with character, courage, competence, conviction and commitment.”

In addition to participating in the Veteran’s Day ceremony, Slavonic and Blome also discussed U.S.-Tunisian bilateral efforts.

While in Tunisia, Slavonic also traveled to La Pecherie Naval Base where he met with Tunisian Navy Chief of Staff, Rear Adm. Adel Jehane and other senior Navy leaders to discuss increased engagement opportunities with the Tunisian Naval Forces. Other meetings included a visit to the Presidential Palace, meeting with Tunisian National Security Advisor Abderraouf Atallah and senior members of the Tunisian Air Force.

To conclude the visit, Slavonic spoke at the Tunisian Senior War College to share his perspective on maritime security in the Mediterranean.

“One of the foundational pillars of our National Defense Strategy is to cultivate a robust constellation of allies and partners,” said Slavonic. “We’re looking to work alongside our partner nations forces, leveraging our different experiences and capabilities to uphold the rules-based international order that benefits us all.”
