Sunbeam Home is Show House When Sunbeam Family Services began to make plans for an office move, they knew they didn’t want to sell their historic headquarters to just anyone. “We couldn’t imagine our beautiful old building being torn down and we felt we owed it to the neighborhood we called home for so long to honor the character and spirit of the area,” said CEO Jim Priest. “Everyone said, ‘Call Marva Ellard. She’ll make sure it’s done right.’” Spearheading MidTown Builders, Elllard specializes in breathing new life into historic proper-

Oklahoma City University has new scholarships available in the Meinders School of Business and the Kramer School of Nursing. The Meinders Business Leadership Fellows Program is a prestigious opportunity for select, high-achieving, first-time, full-time freshman students entering the Meinders School of Business at OCU. The full-tuition scholarship consists of academic, departmental and Meinders Business Leadership Fellows Program and is limited to 18 scholarships per academic year. The Kramer School of Nursing at OCU recently received a gift creating the Kramer Way scholarship, which will provide $400,000 for 10 new Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) students and $90,000 for six new Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) students over a two-year period starting in fall 2019. In addition to helping students earn their first degree, the school’s BSN program also allows those who have a degree in another field to earn a BSN in just 18 months. “The scholarship is critical because many candidates exhaust their financial assistance while earning their first degree, but this will allow them the financial ability to become a nurse,” said Lois Salmeron, dean of the Kramer School of Nursing.

Mild weather recently enabled workers to make progress on excavation of the westbound lane of Britton Road between May and Pennsylvania avenues in The Village. Ultimately the entire three-lane, mile-long section of the dilapidated asphalt street will be torn out down to the dirt and rebuilt in concrete. Crossland Heavy Contractors started the $3,954,000 job in January and is expected to finish by sometime in November.

Proposition 4, allocating $4.05 million to the Fire Department, received a favorable vote from 87.46 percent of the 351 votes cast on that proposal. Proposition 5, which requested $1 million for a variety of technology improvements, was approved by 83.71 percent of the 350 citizens who voted on that measure. Proposition 6, $1 million in improvements to the Public Works complex and facilities, was supported in 84.2 percent of the 348 votes cast on that proposal. Proposition 7, which sought $750,000 for several city parks projects, was endorsed in 83.05 percent of the 348 votes counted on that proposal. Proposition 8, $500,000 for the Police Department, was supported by 87.93 percent of 348 voters. Spending priorities for the bond proceeds have not been established yet, Mayor Peter Hoffman said, but,
“We plan to discuss this very soon.” The general-obligation bond issue attracted just 10.65 percent of the 3,294 registered voters in Nichols Hills. City officials said the bonds will be sold in tranches, probably five spaced over a period of five years. The city’s ad valorem tax rate has been held below 30 mills ($30 per $1,000 of assessed property valuation) for more than a decade, by paying off old bonds before selling new ones, City Manager Shane Pate and City Attorney John Michael Williams said. The current, 2018 property tax levy imposed to meet the principal and interest payments on Nichols Hills’ bonds is 29.71 mills. The local tax rate for the bond debt sinking fund has averaged 27.32 mills over the past 10 years. The ad valorem tax rate in Nichols Hills has surpassed 30 mills eight times in three and a half decades, most recently in 2004-06, ledgers of the Oklahoma County Assessor reflect. The city’s highest rates on record occurred in the 1990s: 32.9 mills in 1994, 33.14 mills in 1998 and 33.35 mills in 1999.

Keeping them matters.” “The blend of the modern and the historic — the blank canvas of new construction and the character of a grand manor—is the perfect opportunity for the Symphony Show House to try some new concepts,” said Symphony Show House Design Chairman Jo Meacham. “This year, we will be transitioning the way the Show House works — giving the selected interior designers a stronger role, a bit more creative freedom and participation in the operations of the project.” Rita Dearmon, chairman of the 2019 Symphony Show House said the venue also offers a return to an old favorite — Show House evenings. “The kitchen and the common areas allow groups to host events at the Symphony Show House, just like in the old days, she said.” There are evenings dedicated to Symphony Show House patrons, the OKC Philharmonic and the neighborhood, but the rest are available. “If you want to host an evening event for your business, church or civic club, now is the time to reserve the date,” Dearmon said. The property will be open for public tours from May 11-18. Hours, ticket and parking details will be announced at a later date.

History of the Sunbeam Home In 1907, after her husband had died, Elizabeth “Lizzie” Swisher came to Oklahoma City for missionary work with orphans. She went door to door collecting money for orphans and began taking as many as she could into her home. As more orphans were taken in, she moved to larger frame houses in the neighborhood. Nellie Talbot had written a children's song “I'll be a Sunbeam” in 1900 and was the inspiration for the name Sunbeam Home Association, which was incorporated in 1910. The staff and volunteers who lovingly cared for the children called all of them Sunbeams. Some of the children were orphans and some had a parent who was struggling and were temporary residents, some were adopted and some returned to family when they were able to care for them and all were called Sunbeams. In the 1920's, Sunbeam had 42 children and was filled to capacity. The Community Chest ,a predecessor of the United Way, was a very helpful source of support in 1923 as well as The Junior League and many well known leaders in the Oklahoma City community. With the problem of frame houses and fires a brick building was built and opened in 1930 to house the Sunbeam Home. Times changed and Sunbeam became a way for children to be introduced into foster homes. During the war

years of World War II, it was also a day care for the children of working women. In 1956, the name became Sunbeam Home and Family Services , and then changed to Sunbeam Family Services. When the need came to assist victims of elder abuse, Sunbeam stepped in to help so they have served all ages in our community. As in the beginning volunteers and community support remained a very important part of Sunbeam. Sunbeam has a new building on Classen Blvd and the brick Sunbeam Home, located at 620 NW 21st in Mesta Park, has been purchased by Marva Ellard, owner of MidTown Builders. Life continues to change with the times. Marva plans to have affordable housing in the community using this historic home. Located near Wilson Elementary where for decades Sunbeam residents have attended school in the Mesta Park area, 13 units will be available, to allow young and old to have a place to call home. The building will also have a community area that will be available to the residents. These three women have had a vision for Oklahoma City — Lizzie Swisher in 1907 for support in housing and caring for orphans, Mary Ruth Ferguson 41 years later for support for the orchestra and now Marva Ellard for providing needed affordable housing in a historic area.

Pat Patterson & The Oscars
T
hunder player Patrick Patterson is hosting a screening of Oklahoma student short films this Sunday at 3 p.m. at Harkins Bricktown Theaters. The screening will include five high school films and five college films that were selected from a statewide student film contest hosted by Patterson and the deadCenter Film Festival. As expected, the statewide contest attracted student filmmakers from every corner of the state. The high school finalists hail from Jones High School, Great Plains Technology Center in Lawton, Eastern Oklahoma County Tech Center in Choctaw and two from the award winning program at Jenks High School. The college finalists represent Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma Baptist University in Shawnee, Oklahoma City University, Oklahoma City Community College and the University of Oklahoma. Patrick Patterson is a ten year NBA veteran who grew up watching movies with his mom. He shares his passion for film with his
fans on Instagram through “Pat Presents,” a movie club where fans get to join him to watch movies at the cinema. Now, he is extending his vision to inspire the next generation of filmmakers right here in Oklahoma: “I’m a huge film fan and I love sharing that passion with the Oklahoma community,” said Patterson. “Hosting this short film contest with deadCenter allows me to honor rising filmmakers and give them the platform to showcase their work.” Patterson worked with the deadCenter programming team to narrow down all of the submissions to the top five in each category. He then invited fellow Thunder players Steven Adams and Jerami Grant to help him judge the finalists and select the winners. All three Thunder players are scheduled to be at the screening to celebrate with the student winners.
Through the Pat Presents Contest, students will have the chance to win new camera equipment, signed Pat Patterson memorabilia, and passes to deadCenter Film Festival. One grand prize winner will also have the opportunity to have their film screened at the festival in June. The contest screening is being held at 3 p.m. on Sunday so attendees have time to make it home for the 91st Annual Academy Awards. The Oscars start that evening at 7 p.m. on ABC. This year’s Oscars are harder to predict than previous years, but I’ll give it a go anyway: Best Picture: Green Book, Best Director: Alfonso Cuaron, Best Actress: Glenn Close, Best Actor: Rami Malek, Supporting Actress: Regina King, Supporting Actor: Mahershala Ali, Foreign Film: Roma, Documentary Film: Free Solo, Animated Film: Spider-Man: Into the SpiderVerse, Adapted Screenplay: BlackkKlansman, Original Screenplay: The Favourite, Song: Shallow, Score: Black Panther.
Pi Beta Phi OKC Alumnae Club to host Gathering of Angels The Oklahoma City Alumnae Club of Pi Beta Phi will host its 23rd annual Gathering of Angels luncheon at the Oklahoma City Golf and Country Club on Wednesday, March 6, featuring Emmy-nominated Whitney Reynolds as the speaker and benefiting Freedom School and ReadWrite Center for Learning. Featured speaker and Oklahoma native Whitney Reynolds is host of her own television show on PBS in Chicago that is dedicated to tough topics, inspiring viewers and provoking positive change. The Whitney Reynolds Show educates, motivates and makes a difference, one topic at a time. Whitney will speak on how each person can look inward on his
or her gifts and talents, identify them and analyze how they can help their community and the world. As part of her speech, Whitney will interview representatives from Freedom School and ReadWrite Center for Learning about their goals and how the grant funds will assist them in achieving their goals. Funds raised through this event assist in providing funding for local and national philanthropies focused on increasing literacy among America’s youth. Proceeds for this year’s Gathering of Angels luncheon will continue this tradition. Freedom School is a not-for-profit summer literacy program and it provides a sixweek summer enrichment program
focused on reading, family involvement, social action and civic engagement, servant leadership and nutrition, with special emphasis on enrichment in the arts and STEM. ReadWrite Center for Learning is an active working dyslexia clinic and training center providing therapy services to area students and professional development training to Oklahoma teachers. This year’s beneficiaries, Freedom School and ReadWrite Center for Learning, applied through a grant application to receive a portion of funds raised at the event. The 2018 Gathering of Angels raised more than $20,000, so the 2019 event hopes to match or surpass that number through the gen-
erous donations of community members. “We are extremely honored to raise money and awareness for Freedom School and ReadWrite Center for Learning at this year’s Gathering of Angels,” event chairman Ann Richard-Farinha said. “One of Pi Beta Phi’s core values is philanthropic service to others, and our event allows women across all generations and chapters to come together to support deserving organizations in the Oklahoma City area while upholding the values our organization was founded on.” For information on the luncheon or to inquire about purchasing tickets, please email piphigatheringofangels@gmail.com.

Panthers feel ‘oh so good’ about Leadership Development Institute
H
ow you do you feel about LDI? I can tell you how we feel. WE FEEL GOOD, OH WE FEEL SO GOOD, YEAH. LDI is a twoday Leadership Development Institute in which students go to Camp Canyon in Lookeba, Oklahoma for a retreat. LDI is a lot of work and could not be possible without the help of faculty members Taylor Upchurch and Michelle Hopper and seniors Kennedy Aispuro, Lindsey Wilson and Lauren Treece. “We’ve been working on this since August, I’m proud with the amount of work we put into it and how everything turned out,” said Aispuro. Junior counselors, aka JCs, are invited in their sophomore year of college to come back to help out also.
by Kayla Smith
PANTHER PROGRESS
Each year LDI has a theme, and this year’s theme was to “Dream big and reach for the Stars.” Putnam City North Alumini John Milner was the guest speaker, speaking to the students about how there is no limit to your dreams. “Dream until your heart is content because when those dreams become reality, it will all be worth it,” junior Airyanna Bly said. His message was that dreams should be unlimited. Once a dream is accomplished, keep going don’t stop. Dreams should be shared with others and
new connections should be made. The impact that LDI has on the students deepens every year. Never judge book by its cover played a huge part in LDI this year. It is important to take the time to get to know people. “Don’t be scared to be out there and different because there are people that are just like you, but afraid,” sophomore Jazmyne Beals said. One of the biggest honors at LDI would be receiving the Perpetual Giver Award.
“It was so unexpected that I was nominated, and that I won, but it was awesome at the same time, it really made me feel good about myself,” senior Myla Carey said. This retreat has been a tradition for over a decade and it’s still going. The new connections and memories that are made will continue to grow and make an impact for years to come. “Be social and take part in as many activities as possible. You really make more friends than you
expect,” senior Kristopher Barnes said. LDI is a great opportunity for Pan-
thers to hone their leadership skills and a great Panther tradition.

Coach Rashaun Woods recently decided to take a position at Enid High School as its head coach and JM recently hired Aso Pogi. Coach Pogi has
been at JM before serving as the offensive coordinator during its state championship season. Last year he was at Mustang and next year will make his return as a Bear. Several of the young men that Pogi coached are seniors this year and recently signed with colleges. Twins Jared and Jarod Leviston both signed with Southwestern Oklahoma State University, Thomas Portell signed with Missouri Western State in St. Joseph, Ke’Von Curry signed with East Central University and Aidan Perrin signed with Southern Nazarene University.

PC North Student Council is recognized for excellence Putnam City North High School’s student council was recently notified that it is one of just two in Oklahoma and 28 across the nation to be named by the National Association of Student Councils (NASC) as a National Council of Excellence for 10 consecutive years. “It is an honor to be recognized by the NASC as one of its longstanding Councils of Excellence,” said Shane Wilson, president of Students United at North (SUN), the student council at Putnam City North. “I know we appreciate the recognition of our hard work and are also humbled by the honor of serving a council with such a rich history of leadership and service.”
Each year the award recognizes exemplary records of leadership, service and activities by student councils across the country. Winning student councils have strong year-round programs and work to improve their schools and communities. Brittani Parker, the faculty sponsor for SUN, said the organization’s history of strong leadership is behind the recognition. “I am so honored to advise such a fantastic group of student leaders,” Parker said. “North has long been a model of excellent student leadership and it is an honor to help continue the tradition. I admire all of the SUN sponsors who have come before me and the bar that has been set.”

A member of the first class at Andrew Johnson recalls early days and some favorite teachers I was in the inaugural class in Andrew Johnson. The school was not built, so the first year we attended class in a house on the south side of Sheffield St. around the corner heading toward Penn. There were very few finished houses at the time, so there were only 5 or 6 of us in the kindergarten class and I am fairly sure there were no classes of older children in other houses. Mr. Martin was eventually the first principal. In 3rd grade we had an "exchange" teacher from Regina, Saskatchewan. I’m not sure if the heat or the students drove her back to the near perennial "polar vortex" of that region. By fourth grade a music program was started by T. Burns Westman, which allowed us to skip class for a while each day, and began a side career that led to a short stint in the RI Philharmonic. I played the fiddle with Mr. Westman not only through high school, but was fortunate to join him and the OKC Junior Philhar-

Thus, we caught flies that entered our hallowed grounds via the open windows. I think Brian Rice was the champion fly catcher. Better still was the broadcast of Don Larsen's perfect game in the World Series. Very nice teacher, Ms. Rusk. She spared the life of someone who will remain nameless, who tested the fire alarm in the hall. I think Mr. Martin was embarrassingly amused. Ms. Simpkins, to continue use of the politically correct honorific, was our 6th grade teacher. We left well prepared for John Marshall HS, which met its demise before Andrew Johnson.

Rev. Stephan Moore speaks to Mid-America Christian University students as part of the school’s Black History Month celebration.

MACU celebrates Black History Month Continuing its month-long celebration of Black History Month, today Mid-America Christian University welcomed Rev. Stephan Moore to lead morning chapel services in the university’s JASCO Chapel in south Oklahoma City. Moore is the executive director of Shiloh Camp & Adventure Course, a summer camp held yearly in Oklahoma City that provides sports, arts, adventure, Bible study, worship and love for children ages 8-16. He is also a former college basketball player, having played four years of varsity ball at the University of Arkansas. He was
coached by Hall of Famers Eddie Sutton and Nolan Richardson. In his hour-long sermon, Moore stressed Christian selfidentity and the importance of embracing one’s status as a child of God more openly. “We always carry the spirit of God no matter where we go, We don’t have to live an inconsistent and fragmented life,” he said. Moore, who described himself as an avid motorcyclist, compared hiding one’s Christianity to keeping a motorcycle helmet in the closet. “It looks cool and great, but it doesn’t help us if it’s sitting on a
shelf,” he said. “We do not receive the benefit of being sons and daughters of God if we don’t walk with Him.” Moore is an active community servant who is passionate about the restoration of northeast Oklahoma City. He serves on several local boards, including Count Me In 4 Kids and the Northeast Collaborative Board. For the past nine years, MACU has celebrated Black History Month with a series of chapel speakers. The campus is proudly diverse, with 68 percent of MACU students identifying as being non-white in the 20172018 academic year.
