City pitches in to help improve animal shelter By Ashley Haley Staff Writer The City of the Village will assist the Village Animal League (VAL), a group of residents who help maintain the local animal shelter, in the shelter improvement project estimated to cost about $94,000. At a regular city council meeting Monday, the city council approved a resolution to allow city manager Bruce Stone to solicit competitive bids for the improvement project, although still in its early stages of planning. “This is something we’ve been working on for some time,” Stone said. “This project will rely a lot on donations and I know that (volunteer) Tom Wolfe is committed to raising the money.” The city will pay for about 30 percent of the project, which is about $28,000. Stone said the city budgeted $50,000 for a salt storage unit and

Tuesday election to decide the fate of MAPS 4 proposal By Rose Lane Editor Oklahoma City residents go to the polls on Tuesday to decide on a 16-part MAPS 4 proposal. Dividing the proposal up into four “buckets,” Mayor David Holt said MAPS 4 would address neighborhood and human needs, quality of life and jobs. It
replaces the 1-cent sales tax earmarked for streets when it expires in March 2020, therefore not raising taxes and maintaining the city’s current sales tax rate of 8.625 percent. As in previous MAPS initiatives, Holt said the city will “pay as we go” and not accrue debt. The MAPS 4 sales tax would be in effect for eight
years and is expected to raise some $978 million. The MAPS 4 proposal includes the following: • A permanent facility for the Palomar Family Justice Center, $38 million. • Parks — $60 million to upgrade neighborhood parks, $20 million for an operations fund to address capital expenses and $60 million earmarked for youth
Bachelor’s Club names Debutantes Twenty-nine women will make their debut at the 74th annual Bachelors Club Christmas Ball on Sunday, Dec. 22, at the Oklahoma City Golf and Country Club. The black-tie ball is set to begin at 8 p.m. with the debutante presentation to begin at 9 p.m. Each debutante is escorted by a member of the Bachelors Club of Oklahoma City.

Transition House, Inc., and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, two organizations that meant a lot to Lehmbeck. Last year was her final as coordinator of the Christmas Ball. Taking over for Lehmbeck this year is Erika Mattison. Mattison worked in corporate events for nine years and lives in Oklahoma City with her husband and son.

monetary donations at this time. Stone said once the funds are secured, the city will move forward with soliciting competitive bids for the project. General contractor Jim Abernathy is working with VAL to make improvements to the shelter including a new floor plan layout, kennel floors and a new roof. The proposed design would also add new bathing stations,

According to tradition, Bachelors Club members invite the women to be debutantes on Thanksgiving Day (Nov. 28). They present each debutante personally with an invitation and a rose and toast them with a glass of champagne. The Bachelors Club of Oklahoma City was founded in 1938 by a group of young men who wished to promote the social and philanthropic undertakings as well as leadership in the Oklahoma City area. The debutante presentation began in 1945 as a way to raise funds for various Oklahoma City charities. This year's 29 debutantes to be presented and their parents are: Ellie Suzanne Baze, daughter of Mindy and Cory Baze; Elizabeth Catelin Beall, daughter of Apryl and Keith Beall; Langley Bennett Branan, daughter of Connell and Cliff Branan; Chloe Bea Brown, daughter of Mindy and Paul Brown and Liz Muckleroy; Natalie Margaret Chansolme, daughter of Jenny and Dave Chansolme; Claire Alexander Chesher, daughter of Mary and David Chesher; Claire Ansley Corley, daughter of Jaquita and Clint Corley; Ellen Thompson DeGiusti, daughter of

ONE MORE HURDLE Irish get rematch against Carl Albert for 5A title By Jason Jewell Sports Editor For the third time in the last four years, McGuinness meets district-rival Carl Albert this Saturday for the Class 5A state football championship. The kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. at Wantland Stadium on the UCO campus in Edmond. “This will be the
seventh time we’ve played them in 4 years,” Irish coach Bryan Pierce said. “They’ve been the top team a long time and we’re hoping to finally get over the hump.” The second-ranked Irish (11-2) have lost both state title games against Carl Albert and also suffered a 400 loss to the Titans in the regular-season finale.

In that Week 10 meeting, McGuinness was without star tailback Dominic Richardson who missed the final two games with an injury. Richardson erupted for three touchdowns and over 100 yards rushing in a 48-22 semifinal win over Tulsa Kelley last Friday afternoon. Quarterbacks Luke Tarman and Evan Ille

also combined for three other scores against Kelley. The Irish also picked up wins over Ardmore in the first round and outlasted Tulsa Edison, 42-41,
in the quarterfinals. “We have a great group of seniors who lead this team,” Pierce said. “They expect to get the state title game every year.” A key component in
any big game is special teams, Pierce said. Irish kicker Zach Shmit converted two long field goals and six extra-point attempts against Kelley. “The kicking game is definitely a difference maker,” Pierce said. “We feel like we have an edge in special teams. With a kicker like Zach, we feel like we can score on nearly every drive.”
FOOTBALL | PLAYOFF ROUNDUP
McGuinness runs over rival Tulsa Kelley Just like their earlier meeting in Week 2 this season, McGuinness jumped out to a big lead by halftime and cruised to a 48-22 win over rival TulsaBishop Kelley last Friday afternoon in the Class 5A semifinals at Western Heights. Tailback Dominic Richardson, who missed the last two
regular season games because of an injury, scored three touchdowns to lead the Irish (11-2). The TCU commit ran for scores of 30, 6 and 74 yards as McGuinness rolled to 281 rushing yards as a team. Quarterback Luke Tarman accounted for touchdowns of 2 and 40 yards, while backup QB Evan Ille scored on a 3-yard run. Kicker Zach Schmit also nailed field goals of 44 and 47 yards, along with converting all six of his extrapoint attempts. In the other semifinal on Friday, Carl Albert rolled to a 24-0 win over Piedmont.

suffered a 33-6 loss to Lincoln Christian in the semifinals last Friday night in Cushing. The Chargers (111), who were limited to less than 100 yards rushing, committed three turnovers and trailed 20-0 at halftime. Quarterback Jackson Jobe finally got Heritage Hall on the board with a 3-yard touchdown run about midway through the fourth quarter.

Simpson takes over boys program at Harding Prep By Jason Jewell Sports Editor With any change in coaching staff, particularly when the new coach is embarking on his first head job, there comes a bit of a learning curve. Harding Charter Prep is not an exception, as Larry Simpson

working to develop our players to be fundamentally sound to be competitive (and win). I want our players to understand that at the end of day it’s not always about winning or losing, but that it’s also about learning.” Four players who started or saw significant minutes return for the Eagles this season, including senior Jack Sims, juniors Trey LaDay, Gage Slovak, Lawyer Rose and transfer K’lyn Wilson. LaDay and newcomer Jaxon LuGrand are athletic guards, while Slovak is acclimating to the post position.
SWIMMING ROUNDUP
Panther girls place 2nd at Lawton Keyed by an individual gold medal and a trio of silver medals, the PC North girls swimming team finished second at the Lawton Invitational late last month. The Panther boys also claimed third at the event, behind four event winners. Olivia Cleburn earned a gold medal in the 50-yard freestyle in 28.51 seconds, eclipsing teammate Tiana Frantz’s time of 31.40 seconds. Alexia Ruttman placed third in the event. Cleburn also posted a second-place finish in the 100 breaststroke in 1 minute, 27.82 seconds, as did Autumn Conaughty in the 500 freestyle with a time of 7:09.56. Cleburn and Frantz teamed up with Katie Duffy-Relf and Andrea Hoang to finish second in the 200 medley relay. Ruttman also
joined Cleburn, Hoang and Frantz to claim second in the 200 freestyle relay. PC North’s Joey Batts and Blake Jones earned two gold medals each to lead the Panthers. Batts won both the 200 freestyle by three seconds in 2:01.59 and the 500 freestyle by four second in 5:40.53. Jones cruised to a 6-second victory in the 100 butterfly in 1:00.87 and added a 4second triumph in the 100 backstroke in 1:05.75. Batts and Jones also joined up with Jackson Lent and Deavin Du to win the 400 freestyle relay in 4:03.75 by an 18-second margin. Lent also finished fourth in the 100 freestyle and fifth in the 50 freestyle, while Du took fifth in the 100 freestyle and Phillip Tu was fifth in
the breaststroke. Both squads also reversed order in an early-season meet at Duncan with the boys taking second and the girls placing third. Batts won gold medals in the 50 and 400 freestyles, while Jones took the 100 butterfly and 100 backstroke titles for the Panthers. The duo also posted wins in the 200 and 400 freestyle relays, along with Lent, Du and Tristen Huffman. Cleburn paced the Panther girls once again with a gold medal in the 100 breaststroke and a silver in the 50 freestyle. Hoang also finished second in the 200 individual medley and Conaughty claimed third in the 400 freestyle. PC North next competes Dec. 12 in the Edmond Invitational at Mitch Park.
“He has the skills and talent to play inside and out,” Simpson said of Slovak. “I’m working with him on confidence, conditioning, and foot work.”
The Eagles are challenged a bit on the defensive end. “We have to learn to play man-to-man for 32 minutes in order to compete and
it’s been difficult,” Simpson said. “It’s taking some time but we’re doing a much better job of moving our feet and helping each other out.”

wo major faithbased productions wrapped principal photography in Oklahoma last month. The television show VeggieTales Remix produced several episodes of their new series at the Retrospec Films studio in Tulsa. And, the motion picture Birdie filmed in several communities across Northeast Oklahoma, including Eufaula, Morris, Beggs, Boynton, Okmulgee and Broken Arrow. VeggieTales Remix is a new half-hour children’s show based on VeggieTales, the most successful children’s faith-based franchise of all time. VeggieTales Remix takes some of the most memorable, poignant, and hilarious moments from the brand’s 25-year library and remixes them into a vibrant new show format. Hosted by super fan and social media star Shama Mrema, the show features interactions with real-life kids, quizzes for diehard “Veggie fans,” and new live-action music videos based on the beloved Silly Songs with Larry. The live portions of VeggieTales Remix were directed by Retrospec Films’ founder Jason Burks, with new music produced by Tulsa-based music producer Stephen Tackett. Burks first two music videos from the show, “The Hairbrush Song Remix” and “The
Water Buffalo Song Remix,” are featured on the newest VeggieTales release, The Best Christmas Gift, which premiered October 22 on DVD and digital download by Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. VeggieTales Remix is slated for broadcast on TBN during the Christmas season alongside the premier of an all new VeggieTales 3D animated series produced by TBN and Big Idea Content Group. In recent years, TBN has led the way in expanding the impact of faith-based television worldwide through the creation of innovative content designed to reach every viewer demographic with the lifechanging message of hope and grace. As part of their expansion, TBN will leverage the new VeggieTales animated series as well as the VeggieTales Remix show across their multiple platforms. The feature length drama Birdie, which wrapped production in Northeast Oklahoma, was directed by writer/director Gregory Alan Williams. Williams is the award-winning writer of Remember the Titans, Ali, and the
new film Harriet about Harriett Tubman. Birdie, which tells a story of love, loss and retribution woven into the fabric of a broken family, is a faith and familybased movie shining a light on the powerful theme of grace and second chances. In the film, Oklahoma native LaRonn Marzett portrays Luke Bellamy, a recently released prisoner who is focused on developing a relationship with his daughter, played by newcomer Kyrie McAlpin. Marzett is a graduate of Putnam City North and Oklahoma City Community College. Marzett is both a filmmaker and an actor who has worked consistently through his college years. Last year, Marzett’s short film Impaired was a finalist in the Pat Patterson Oklahoma Student Film Contest. And as an actor, he starred in three films that screened at the deadCenter Film Festival in June. Marzett recently moved to Atlanta, which is considered the best place to work for African American actors, primarily because of the 300acre studio opened by independent film titan Tyler Perry. With all of the film and television productions coming to Oklahoma, it’s nice to see that faith based and family friendly productions are still a major part of the mix.

‘I will be the last missionary’ By Walker Moore The Baptist Messenger Recently, I was the first speaker for a student missions conference. In my introduction, I talked about why I started a mission organization in 1993. I had a big dream back then, and I have that same dream today: I want to bring Jesus back. I read in Matthew 24:14, “And this Gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations and then the end will come.” I know Revelation 7:9 says, “After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands.” If I understand the Scriptures correctly, Jesus told us go and make disciples of all nations. As believers, we are to be engaging the four corners of the earth. And within these tribes, nations and people groups, there will be some who will respond to the Good News of Jesus Christ. That way, when we get to heaven, there will be a representation of the entire human race. I thought if I could get a thousand or even 10,000 missionaries to span the globe, I would have a better chance of bringing Jesus back. I know that sounds like a big goal, and it is, but I had to try. I have taken these young adults across the world to share the Gospel in the least-reached people groups. We have lived in mosquito-infected jungles and concrete canyons, all
for one purpose: to share the Gospel. Part of my message at the conference that night was that missions is temporal, but worship is eternal. The task of missions will end as soon as Jesus comes back. The last person will be saved, the trumpet shall sound and the dead in Christ shall rise first. It will be too late to tell others about the great salvation that has been offered to the world. As I was speaking, I asked the young people what it would be like to be the last missionary who would give the last presentation of the Gospel, so that the last person would be saved. I told them, “The last missionary might be in this very room, and God is waiting for your heartbeat of obedience to lead you to the mission field.” Next, I led them through what that might look like. As the last missionary says yes to God, a rumbling begins to sound in heaven. The residents of the heavenlies know something is about to happen but aren’t sure of the day or the hour. As the young missionary arrives among the unreached people group, the heavenlies are electrified, as though they are about to give birth. The young missionary sits down and begins sharing the Good News with the last person. As that last person asks Christ to be his Lord and Savior, the heavens explode as the King of kings and Lord of lords steps out of the heavenlies to receive His people. As I finished, I asked, “Who will be the last missionary?” Unknown to me, 25 miles away, my daughter-in-love and
my 6-year-old grandson, Titus the Honorable, were watching the livestream. The next day, I was to speak two more times, and my son was also speaking at two breakout sessions. Titus had come to the conference, and his mom told me he had something to tell me. As I bent down, I asked Titus what he wanted to say, and he looked at me soberly. “Poppy, I will be the last missionary.” As he said this with all seriousness, my heart trembled. I know he is only 6-years-old, but to have him be so attuned to the things of God scares me and, at the same time, excites me. Dear Titus, I am moved by your volunteering to be the last missionary. Your grammy and I pray daily that you and your brothers would hear the voice of God. We pray not only that you can hear Him but you would embrace whatever He calls you to do. We have no expectation that you follow in the steps of your greatgrandfather, your grandfather and your dad. In some ways, we know the struggle and wish God would call you in a different direction. But if God is laying this calling to be the last missionary on your heart, you have a family who will stand by you. Right now, as you’re trying to find your way out of first grade, I want to remind you to continue to learn more about God and study his Word. That way, if God does call you to be the last missionary, you’ll be ready. Love, Poppy

MAPS 4 VOTE is this Tuesday! MAPS 4 is extremely popular according to a poll by NEWS 9. With 72.6% saying they will support it. The social services components, Youth Centers ($110 million), Senior Wellness Centers ($30 million), Mental Health and Addiction ($40 million), Family Justice Center operated by Palomar ($38 million) and Homelessness ($50 million) are mainly capital investments to prevent the horrific situation we witness happening in other cities. MAPS 4 will significantly transform Oklahoma City’s approach to reducing and eventually eliminating homelessness with a $50 million investment in truly affordable housing. This investment, accompanied by wrap-around services from existing providers, will help the city implement a successful “housing first” strategy. The $50 million is expected to leverage more than
In MY Opinion by VICKI CLARK GOURLEY
vicki@okcfriday.com $400 million in funding from other sources. The Innovation District is a multi-prong approach to creating new and more jobs in OKC. MAPS 4 will help transform our entrepreneurial ecosystem by making investments in the Innovation District in northeast Oklahoma City. This $71 million allocation will create jobs and encourage more diversification of our City’s economy. First, $15 million is for the creation of the Henrietta B. Foster Center for Northeast Small Business Development and Entrepreneurship, to specifically include minority, small and disadvantaged businesses. Second, $25 million is for creating better connectivity in and around the Innovation District. A $10 million allocation is available to match $10 million raised from non-MAPS sources for an “Innovation Hall” to serve as a central place where activities to grow our city’s innovation economy can be facilitated. Activities could include learning academies like coding training for all ages; versatile space for meetings and events related to innovation and entrepreneur-
ship; and pop-up spaces for entrepreneurs to showcase new ideas and build connections. Finally, a $21 million operating fund will help with the operations of the Foster Center and the Innovation Hall. The Multi-Purpose stadium to be built through the allocation of $37 million to construct it will have a transformational power demonstrated by previous MAPS projects like the ballpark and the downtown arena. This facility would be suitable for professional and college soccer, high school football and soccer, concerts and other events. Oklahoma City is believed to be the only top 50 city without access to a multipurpose stadium suitable for such events. The city council listened to 26 hours of public presentations to narrow MAPS 4 down to the 16 projects. Mayor David Holt said deciding factors were neighborhood needs, enterainment, jobs, and social justice. The one-cent sales tax will not go into effect until April when the MAPS 3 tax expires. Every project will be completely paid for when it is finished. Ward 8 voters, represented by Councilman Mark Stonecipher currently, has always had the vision and the voter turnout to carry these MAPS projects across the finish line. So get out and vote yes this Tuesday on MAPS 4. WE BUILT THIS CITY ON MAPS. LET’S KEEP IT GOING!

BC Clark reveals Harry Kotlar setting for the Heart of Oklahoma diamond Harry Kotlar stole the show at the Heart of Oklahoma Diamond reveal. This invitation-only event in Oklahoma City brought past Harry Kotlar customers and special guests to the downtown BC Clark Jewelers location to witness the reveal, discover pieces from the Harry Kotlar 70th anniversary collection, learn the history and creative process, create their own masterpieces and more. Harry Kotlar was commissioned by BC Clark to create a luxurious piece of handcrafted jewelry incorporating its 18.92 carat Heart of Oklahoma diamond, created to honor the store’s heritage and founding year, as well as to celebrate the great state of Oklahoma. The superior quality internally flawless, fancy intense yellow diamond symbolizes the intense and colorful sunsets that stretch for miles over the Oklahoma plains. The Harry Kotlar masterpiece, which cra-
dles the 18.92 carat diamond, showcases the heritage of Oklahoma with its impeccable ring design. The Heart of Oklahoma Diamond was placed in a ring setting created by Harry Kotlar’s master Italian artisans. The setting was created with a geometric design reminiscent of a steam locomotive’s pilot grills with the use of tapered baguette diamonds. This simple, yet elegant piece, is timeless and represents a piece of BC Clark’s history as Oklahoma’s oldest business under the same family ownership. “BC Clark is honored to have partnered with Harry Kotlar to create this masterpiece,” said Coleman Clark, president of BC Clark Jewelers. “Unveiling the Heart of Oklahoma Diamond Ring at such an elegant and interactive event with Harry Kotlar at our flagship downtown store with some of our most loyal customers has been a moment
I will always remember.” Guests were given a behind the scenes look at the design process of the Heart of Oklahoma Diamond set in a Harry Kotlar masterpiece, as well as the opportunity to create their own Harry Kotlar pieces with a Harry Kotlar illustrator on site. Seven Harry Kotlar masterpieces, one for each decade of the brand’s existence, was showcased in a museum-style exhibit with a unique audio guide. A short film illustrating the Harry Kotlar design and creation process was previewed to guests and Harry Kotlar pieces were featured in every display for guests to appreciate and purchase. “Bringing this luxurious event to Oklahoma City has been an amazing experience,” said Czarah Cabrera, brand director for Harry Kotlar. “The Heart of Oklahoma Diamond set in a Harry Kotlar masterpiece is something we are very proud to be a part of and we hope this piece will create an appreciation for the beautiful art of jewelry making, its history and beyond.”

Scissortail Park staff and volunteers plant 40,000 daffodil bulbs
As winter winds down and transitions into spring, visitors to Scissortail Park will be treated to blankets of delightful and bright daffodils in several areas on the grounds. Volunteer groups have been assisting horticulture staff of the park to ensure that the first-ever spring bulbs to be planted in the Park are nestled into the ground in time for winter. “Spring flowering bulbs like daffodils should be planted in the fall so they have time to establish roots and build energy for
flowering in early spring,” said Lance Swearengin, Scissortail Park director of horticulture. “In keeping with our commitment to display native plants and trees, the hearty and bright yellow daffodils will naturalize in the landscape and blend in with our native plant selections. Daffodils are natives of Europe, but fit in nicely with a woodland landscape like ours.” The Park is planting nearly 40,000 daffodil bulbs in several spots around the grounds including along the Grand Promenade on
Robinson Avenue, Oklahoma City Boulevard, the Children’s Playground and more. The flowers are expected to be in full bloom in early spring – late February into early March of 2020. Park staff intends to plant additional bulbs each year so that over the course of several years, the blooms will be established in priority areas throughout the entire park. To learn more about the Park, or to volunteer to help the horticulture department, go to scissortailpark.org.
