Stitt telling the world that Oklahoma is open for business By Rose Lane Editor Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt told those in attendance at the Greater OKC Chamber’s Chairman’s Breakfast that he sees his position as 80 percent CEO and the remainder working with the legislature. “I can’t imagine doing this job without being a CEO before,” he said.

Stitt said he was elected to “bring new ideas” and he has strived to do that from a “business standpoint” to elevate Oklahoma to a Top 10 state. “We’re really trying to think about the things you do in business,” he said. The governor said that when he took office, the government the people had elected didn’t have much authority to run state agen-

cies. He likened that to a college football coach who wasn’t allowed to hire his own staff. “You have to have the right people ... if you want to get anything done,” Stitt said. He went on to sign legislation to take over the hiring and firing of the heads of five state agencies — the Oklahoma Department of Corrections; Office of

Juvenile Affairs; Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services; Oklahoma Health Care Authority; and Oklahoma Department of Transportation. The State of Oklahoma now has the largest savings account in the nation with over $1 billion in reserves. By keeping the budget flat, Oklahoma won’t have to cut agency funding in hard

times, Stitt said. Oklahoma was ranked 47th in terms of government transparency. Since Stitt has been in office, he said that has risen to No. 7. On Nov. 1, Oklahoma orchestrated the largest commutation in United State’s history when 450 people were let out of prison, he said. As far as See STITT, Page 3

Habitat dedicates 1,000th home By Rose Lane Editor In the past 29 years, Central Oklahoma Habitat for Humanity has built 1,000 homes. COHFH handed over the keys to its first home in 1991 under current COHFH Chairman and CEO Ann Felton Gilliland’s leadership. The single mom of two young sons, Brittani Githiri received the keys this week to their new home — the organization’s 1,000th — which is located in the Stephen Florentz Legacy Estates addition in northwest Oklahoma City. Maxwell Supply of Oklahoma City was the house sponsor. This is Maxwell Supply’s sixth full home sponsorship. Githiri put in 300 hours of sweat equity and will make

monthly interest-free mortgage payments once her family moves into the home. The funds go back to Habitat for Humanity’s construction fund. In addition to remarks from Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt and Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt, Githiri received gifts from various sponsors and a Bible from Nancy Riddell of the Central Oklahoma Habitat Board of Directors. All Souls’ Episcopal Church’s Rev. Chris Yoder offered the house blessing, as well as the benediction. Habitat Board member Carolyn Roberts led a litany of prayer. Central Oklahoma Habitat for Humanity is ranked in the top 10 of the organization’s 1,200 international affiliates. For more information, visit YourHabitatHome.com or call 232-4828.

Women’s conference set for March 26 The 11th annual Women in Leadership Conference invites audiences to explore what it takes to reach the next level in their careers and personal lives. Under the theme of “Lift,” more than 400 participants are expected to attend the annual day-long con-

ference on March 26 at the Cox Convention Center in Oklahoma City. Conference registration is $225 and can be made online at okcwomeninleadership. com, or by calling 2085540. A professional mountain climber and leadership consultant,

the CEO of InspireCorps, a cognitive performance coach who works with the U.S. Army and a diverse group of local business professionals will make for one of the most inspiring lineups in the conference’s decade-long history, said Melissa Cory, conference cofounder and director of executive and professional education at Oklahoma City University’s Meinders School of Business. “Lifting others. It’s what the best leaders do,” Cory said. “This conference is designed to lift others. It lets others share their stories on stage, with one another – elevating their voices and sometimes their careers.” Audiences will hear about the mental strength it takes to achieve goals, how to create the best possible conditions to achieve lift, what institutions can do to support and elevate their teams, as well as inspiring stories from a diverse group of presenters. This year’s event features presentations on leading through inspiration, investing tips, eliminating stereotypes from workplace culture and other careerenhancing topics. A panel discussion will focus on leading multiple generations in the workplace. See WOMEN, Page 3

While those who have attended the conference have embraced the educational and empowering value of the event, Cory said more and more companies have come to understand the benefits of the local conference. “When companies support the active professional development of their team, it demonstrates that their people are

important. The result is more engaged employees,” Cory added. “More importantly, the conference aims to build community and provide an opportunity to support each other for a stronger business environment. “We make new connections and strengthen others.

Oklahoma State University and the University of Oklahoma have identified three areas of focus each. OU will take on aerospace and defense, weather and cancer research, while OSU will concentrate on agricultural research, unmanned aircraft and biotech research. Stitt said he is proud to be an American, but it has been “an honor of a lifetime” to steer Oklahoma through these dif-

By Jason Jewell Sports Editor Ranked in the top-5 for much of the season, the Deer Creek girls basketball team marched to the Class 6A state tournament this weekend in Tulsa. The second-ranked Antlers (22-4) opened Thursday against Ponca City in the quarterfinals at ORU’s Mabee Center. With a win, they

advance to the semifinals on Friday at noon against the NormanEdmond North winner. The championship game is set for noon on Saturday. “We’ve been on an exciting journey so far this season,” coach Alex Moorehead said. “We’re confident but taking nothing for granted.” Deer Creek reached the state tournament for the first time since

making the finals in the 2016-17 season. “We play in a tough conference so I feel that’s helped us prepare for state,” Moorehead said. The Antlers compete in the Central Oklahoma Athletic Conference (COAC), which has three other teams in the field – Norman, Edmond North and Moore. Seven of the eight teams are ranked in

the top 10 of the final poll, with Ponca City the lowest ranked team at No. 15. Deer Creek relies on a trio of top scorers in Skylar Vann, Bri Scott and Angel Scott. They accounted for 64 of the Antlers’ 73 points in the area final. “Everyone starts 0-0 at state,” Moorehead said. “The rankings are obsolete at this point. We like to embrace the underdog role.”

Chargers eyeing return trip to 4A finals After rolling through the postseason undefeate, the Heritage Hall boys appear poised to make another deep run in the Class 4A state basketball tournament this weekend. The No. 2 Chargers (20-5) tiped off their journey to a gold ball last Thursday night against Tulsa Webster at Deer Creek. With a win, they advance to the semifi-

nals at 9 p.m. Friday against the Kingfisher-Classen SAS winner at State Fairgrounds Arena. The championship game is set for 9:15 p.m. Saturday, also at “The Big House.” Trey Alexander is Heritage Hall’s leading scorer, as the junior collected 30 points and nine rebounds in a 71-42 win over Ada for the area title. – By Jason Jewell

Bright Golden Haze

T

he Oklahoma Contemporary Arts Center opens this week with a stunning exhibit that perfectly accentuates the splendor of Rand Elliott’s Folding Light building. Bright Golden Haze is a celebration of light featuring exciting contemporary works of art from around the world and here in Oklahoma. Bright Golden Haze: Reflections is an extension of that exhibit, funded by grants from the Kirkpatrick Family Fund, in which artists and arts organizations from around the city are creating new works to celebrate and extend the theme. The pieces selected are varied and fascinating, from an original ballet to a fabric maze at Oklahoma History Center to a bird shaped hut in Scissortail Park designed by artists Denise Duong and Gabriel Friedman. deadCenter Film is one of the groups selected for a Reflections grant. We are creating a film with student filmmakers from the high schools and technology centers across the state that we visit during our fall education tour. We are asking them to film the most beautiful natural light in their towns at different times of day.

deadCenter will edit the submitted pieces together into a short film that will be projected outdoors downtown during the deadCenter Film Festival in June. In the fall, the film will travel to all of the participating towns and ultimately move online. We are so grateful to be included in Bright Golden Haze: Reflections. The project perfectly aligns with deadCenter’s mission to promote, celebrate and encourage creativity through independent film. This project challenges the students to view their home towns with a fresh perspective and explore the way light affects the buildings and areas they see every day. It also provides them with an opportunity to collaborate on a statewide project. In addition to the Bright Golden Haze project, deadCenter is collaborating with Oklahoma Contemporary and Prairie Surf Media to host a Film Camp for Adults on Saturday, April 4, from 10:00am to 2:00pm. The film

camp is not for filmmakers. Instead, it is geared towards film fans, hobbyist, and enthusiasts who have always wondered how films are made. The Film Camp for adults will include four introductory sessions on different aspects of filmmaking. Matt Payne, filmmaker and television writer for Vegas and Memphis Beat, will kick things off with a class about writing for film and television. Actress Rachel Cannon from ABC’s Fresh Off the Boat and Mad Men will lead a class about acting and auditioning. Gray Frederickson, the Oscar winning producer of The Godfather, Part II and The Outsiders, will lead a lunchtime discussion about producing movies. And, I will wrap things up with a class about directing narrative films and documentaries. The Folding Light building, the Bright Golden Haze exhibit, and all of the community art opportunities surrounding the opening are the result of Christian Keesee’s wonderful vision and tenacity, the super talented creative people he partners with, and the wildly generous patrons who allow art to flourish at this grand scale. On behalf of all of Oklahoma, thank you!

Artists bring work to Heritage Hall gallery Milton Trice brought his vibrant, larger-thanlife paintings to the Heritage Hall Embree Art Gallery for an exhibition that also featured the adorned book art of Gail Trice. The exhibit – attended by members of the school and greater Oklahoma City communities – was the latest installment of the school’s Guest Artist Program. A self-taught visual artist, M. Trice creates experimental, broken plane paintings that invite the viewer to walk into the scene. “If you combine multiple surfaces, bend and break them, you can give a bigger jump to your figures,” he said. “You feel like you can pick them up or be there. I call it, ‘Being There.’” During the event, Trice shared details about his personal journey as an artist, what led to his technique and style, and his lifelong pursuit to perfect his craft. Trice also talked about his book Stereo Realism: The Hidden World. In the coming weeks, as part of the Guest Artist Program, Trice will visit Heritage Hall Upper School art classes for more in-depth discussions and demonstrations. Upper School Art teacher Trish Winnard developed Heritage Hall’s Guest Artist Program in 2017 with an aim of bringing local artists to work with students and to showcase the diverse artwork being created in the Oklahoma City area. Since its inception, the program has welcomed local artists Margaret Reynolds Hoge (Heritage Hall Class of 1974), Lyn Kopta and Kevin Thomas. “My vision for this program was to provide additional educational opportunities for our students and to give the Heritage Hall Art Department visibility in the school community and beyond. I am delighted that the program and our beautiful Embree Art Gallery attract exceptional artists like Milton and Gail, who share different media and perspectives with our students and give them an even deeper appreciation of art,” Winnard said.

Coronavirus now in 36 states Dr. Oz says to be careful, but not to panic As of Monday night, 666 people in 36 states and Washington D.C. have tested positive for the coronavirus and 26 people have died, according to the New York Times database. This is definitely going to get worse. Everyone needs to take all recommend precautions. However, 16,000 people have died in the U.S. from the flu during the 2019-20 flu season. And there is a flu vaccine. The television news media is scaring people. Too bad they didn’t give the same coverage to the flu before flu season started. Maybe more people would have taken the flu shot and survived. Speaking on “Fox & Friends” on Monday, Dr. Mehmet Oz provided this coronavirus survival guide: • Avoid handshakes. Dr. Oz said handshak-

ing transfers 10 times more germs than fistbumping, but he also discouraged fist-bumping. “A fist bump passes one-tenth the germs as a firm handshake,” Dr. Oz. He encouraged people to “embrace the power of a good head nod.” • Eliminate face touching. • Wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds and use hand sanitizer with at least 60 percent alcohol. • Disinfect surfaces by using disinfectant

sprays instead of wipes, which can spread germs from one surface to another. It is advised to let the surface remain wet for three minutes prior to drying. • Get the flu shot to avoid confusing seasonal flu with COVID-19. • Improve your air quality by using a humidifier because viruses dislike humid air. • When you are on an airplane, sit next to the window: “It’s better for you because that germ zone is that little limited area,” which includes the row before and after you, he noted. “The air that comes in from outside is actually pretty clean.” • Eat foods and take vitamins that support the immune system. Eating leafy greens and fruits high in vitamins like citruses, blackberries, and kiwi provide your body with essential vitamins and minerals.

Sudoku

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! Answers

Oklahoma City FRIDAY, Friday, March 13, 2020, Page B7

It’s important to take the easy way By Walker Moore The Baptist Messenger I regularly get emails from Jesus. Each week, He tells me I am valued, and he wants me to come and see him. I have visited him on a number of occasions, and it’s always a blessing when I do. He takes care of my needs. Every time, he reminds me of the “easy way.” The roads are narrow, dangerous and filled with potholes, but he tells me he’s got me covered. If I come to him, I know I will have many adventures, and I will never be disappointed. You see, Jesus is a Hispanic brother of mine who runs a car rental business in Cancun, Mexico. The name of his company is “Easy Way Rent-a -Car.” He rents cars that are somewhat used; in fact, some of them are about used up. When I go to Mexico, I have learned not to rent a shiny new car. It attracts unwanted attention and screams, “TOURIST!” I need a car that blends into the surroundings and Jesus has those kinds of cars. Each week, he sends me an email and it is always titled, “Jesus from Easy Way.” He tells me of upcoming events or new attractions in that part of Mexico. I have driven many miles in Jesus’ cars. One of the best ways my wife and I can relax and get away from the world’s hustle and bustle is to rent a house in Puerto Morelos, Mexico. Puerto Morelos is a quick 15 miles south of the airport; it doesn’t have big, fancy hotels; it is just a place where time slows

down. There, we get away from the demands of ministry. On the mission field, I don’t have a day off. Taking care of missionaries seven days a week in multiple countries, providing up to 3,000 beds and 10,000 meals over the summer is a daunting task. When you add in handling worst-case scenarios and sickness, it can take a toll. So my wife and I will take a week off to rest, read, write and pray while enjoying the ocean, food and local attractions. I have used Jesus’ vehicles to get me to the place where I can spend time with the Lord. I wish I had learned earlier in my life to spend more time in rest and away from the hustle and bustle of life. I was always too busy, never turning down a chance to speak. Then I used the excuse that it cost too much. But I learned too late that the greatest cost of not taking time away was the price my family had to pay. I am still learning how to take seasons of rest. Having grandsons will help you do that. I was going to do a number of what I had labeled “important things” the other day when my iPhone rang, and I saw three little noses pressed against the screen, grinning and asking, “Poppy, can we have a sleepover?” What seemed so important went by the wayside and those little boys helped me put things in the right perspective. I learned this from the Jesuses: Jesus of Easy Way Rent-a-Car is never in a hurry, takes life one day a time and

lives life at a slower pace. The other Jesus, the Jesus of “the Way” told those around Him “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matt. 11:28). You see, rest comes in a place and a person. When the two connect, it is pure joy. I find it incredible that Jesus could rest in the midst of a raging storm. “A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, ‘Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?’” (Matt. 4:3738). Jesus doesn’t just offer the regular, run-of-the-mill kind of peace and rest. He will give His peace to those who are deeply troubled, wrestled to the ground by burdens and situations beyond their control. He provides the heavy-duty, industrial-strength peace. You see, the disciples did the right thing by going to Jesus, but they asked the wrong question. As they were being pounded by the waves, their lives sinking, they didn’t ask for peace; they wanted to know if He cared. But you never have to ask Jesus that question because He has already answered it in 1 Pet. 5:7, “Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you.” Instead of asking the question they did, they should have awakened Jesus and asked for peace in the midst of the storm. I know He could have shown them the easy way!
