Two Fridayland couples, along with numerous grandparents, experienced the trauma of a child born with profound hearing loss. More than 150 babies are born every year in Oklahoma in their silent world. By law, babies have a hearing test their first day. The parents say they got mad when they were told. It is the initial reaction for many after being informed of the test. “You have made a mistake. This cannot be my child’s test,” they said. Disbelief and denial are common. “Despair turns into hope and then a miracle,” said grandfather Randy Corp, with tears streaming down his cheeks, as he told the story of his six-year-old grandson, Fletcher Corp. Randy, a well-known civic leader and vice president of Quail Creek Bank, is the chairman of the Hearts for Hearing (HFH) board. It is a 501c(3) charitable organization. Kris Coleman Hopper, a Heritage Hall grad and executive director of HFH, has a daughter born with significant hearing impairment. Kris said the anger and stress related to her daughter’s diagnosis ended her first marriage. Her daughter was born before the invention of the cochlear implants, but now new technology has helped her live a normal life. Both Randy and Chris are now evangelists for Hearts for Hearing. “Why would any parent not take advantage of See HEARING, Page 2
As the start of school approaches, OKCPS still struggling with staffing By Sara Schlecht Student Intern Students will return to classrooms when Oklahoma City Public Schools begin Aug. 12. But, as this date nears, the district is looking to fill remaining teaching positions. “We have a couple of key areas of need,” Deputy Superintendent Jason Brown said. Among the specific needs of the district are special education teachers and fifth and sixthgrade teachers. Brown also said OKCPS, like all school districts in
Oklahoma, would like to recruit more high-quality teachers. Emergency certification is not granted to special education teachers, so those must be certified teachers, Superintendent Sean McDaniel said. The district had 250 emergency certified teachers last year. For this year, the district is “on par” with where it was last year, having 248 emergency certified instructors. McDaniel said he was not suggesting this to be a good thing. “We’re 96 percent
staffed, from a teacher standpoint,” McDaniel said. “In a big district like this, four percent is a lot.” The district is still in need of 95 teachers, he said. On average, this is about one or two teachers per school, although some might be completely staffed while others need even more. “We would like to think we could land certified teachers for those positions, but we might need to lean on emergency certified (teachers) for some of those positions,” See OKCPS, Page 3

Fletcher’s lemonade stand raises $4,010 for Hearts for Hearing In June, Fletcher Corp’s Lemonade Stand raised $3,010 with a matching gift of $1,000, where all proceeds benefited Hearts for Hearing. Six-year-old Fletcher Corp was born with hearing loss. His parents researched options for his communication, and at six weeks old, he received his first set of hearing aids. Fletcher received both of his cochlear implants at nine months old. Fletcher puts on this lemonade stand every year because he wants to help give children with hearing loss the opportunity to have hearing aids or cochlear implants like he does. “I want to help kids hear like me,” said Fletcher, creator of Fletcher’s Lemonade
Stand. The lemonade stand took place at Ball Golf in Oklahoma City where Fletcher takes golf lessons with his cousins and grandfather, Mike Cross. “Our wildest expectations were exceeded. Golfers and the Hearts for Hearing family are so generous,” said Stan Ball, PGA Professional. “It didn’t hurt that Fletcher put a driving display on the range for the big crowd.” The $4,010 raised from the event will help provide technology and services for children with hearing loss across the state of Oklahoma. “We are grateful for Fletcher, his family, and Ball Golf for choosing to support Hearts for Hearing by having a lemonade stand,” said Joanna Smith, CEO of Hearts

enabling their child to be able to listen, understand and speak?” Randy said. “Hearts for Hearing has never turned away any child, regardless of the family’s financial situation.” Hearts for Hearing is the new blue-glass building dominating the west side of Hefner Parkway, between Hefner Road and 122nd Street. The board raised $10 million to build it. Hearts for Hearing was founded in 2003 by Dr. Stan Baker, of the Hough Ear Institute in Oklahoma City, Joanna T. Smith and Dr. Teresa Caraway. It is based on the pioneering work of the late Dr. Jack Hough and the cochlear implant. Today, Fletcher listens, hears and talks like everyone else his age. He goes to a mainstream school, plays-T-ball and raised $3,010 for HFH with a lemonade stand and a $1,000 grant. He was born profoundly deaf. He started at HFH with hearing aids and speech therapy almost from birth. The two cochlear implant surgeries were performed around his first birthday. His brain hears exactly what you say and he pronounces it back in the same way. Kris Hopper’s grown daughter is functioning normally in society
for Hearing. “Fletcher is an amazing kid, and we can’t wait to see what his future holds.” Hearts for Hearing was started in 2003 to provide funding for the initial set of hearing aids for children with hearing loss in Oklahoma. In 2007, its mission expanded to become a comprehensive hearing health clinic for both children and adults. Hearts for Hearing began its collaborative model of audiologists and speech-language pathologists working together to provide the best outcomes. ••• Adults say “What about me?” In 2013, HFH opened an adult clinic with its technology to meet the needs of adults with hearing loss in Oklahoma. All profits to the 501(c) 3.
after receiving a cochlear implant at age 15 and spending three years in speech therapy to align what she had been hearing (only 30%) with what she hears now. Early intervention is the key. When a child is born with severe hearing loss, the auditory area of the brain ceases to function after time if there is no stimulus. HFH fits babies with hearing aids almost immediately and starts sending impulses to the brain to keep it stimulated. Since babies grow rapidly, the hearing aids have to be changed frequently and HFH has its own 3-D printer to make new ones from the earmold. The cochlear implant surgically replaces the child’s nonfunctional cochlear inside the ear at or before age one. A transmitter on the outside of the head sends signals to the implant translating them for the brain. The process is technical but it sends the exact sounds that it hears. If you say “ball,” the baby’s brain hears “ball.” (See the YouTube video “Fletcher finds his nose.”) For older implant patients there is relearning speech therapy to align what the person heard before with what they hear now. HFH has already served 3,813 pediatric patients in the first half of 2019. To learn more or donate visit heartsforhearing.org.

Chief Operations Officer Scott Randall said while there are more routes than bus drivers, it is not uncommon to have one driver cover more than one route, although this is not the most efficient way of getting children to and from school. In addition to those who are already trained as bus drivers, people who do not have a commercial driver’s
license are encouraged to apply for these positions. “If you’re interested in driving a bus for
Oklahoma City Public Schools, we provide the training,” Brown said. “You can get a CDL this way.”

Life’s outtakes: Sacrifice and forgiveness By Daris Howard Columnist
I
saac’s family had been brutally murdered by the Germans, and he had joined the war with revenge being his only desire. But after Berlin fell to the Allies, he grew fond of a four-year-old German girl, Alexandra, who an old lady said would likely die if no one took care of her. His commanding officer was kind enough to provide papers indicating that her family had died and Isaac was escorting her to “other” family on his way home from the war. The “other” family was to be Isaac, and he knew that even with the papers the journey could be perilous. When he boarded the train for his home in France, he was viewed with great suspicion. Alexandra, with her blond hair and blue eyes, was clearly German. The army officials double-checked his release and escort papers. Finally, the officials left them alone, and the train started to move. Isaac shared what little food he had with her. He hoped it would be clear sailing all the way to France, but each time the train stopped, he was questioned again with greater intensity. At one point, Alexandra was almost taken away, and he was nearly arrested. That was when Isaac realized that when they reached the border, it would be worse. But he was not about to give her up.
At the next stop, he took her and they quickly disembarked. He figured it would be safer to cross into France on foot. It was at least 20 miles to the border and then hundreds of miles to his home. As they walked, Alexandra never complained, but when she started to stumble, he knew she was tired. Isaac put his pack around Alexandra and then lifted her onto his shoulders. He scrounged up a little food as they went along, and he knew she was still hungry, but she was always appreciative of whatever he gave her. As they approached the border, Isaac could see it was heavily guarded. He moved carefully along it, staying undercover as much as possible, until he found a unit that bore the French insignia. As he tried to make his way across the border, he and Alexandra were quickly surrounded. He showed his papers and explained what he was doing, but their animosity toward the enemy showed in their feelings toward Alexandra. Isaac eventually procured their passage by surrendering the cigarettes from his rations he had saved for just such an emergency. They still had a long way to go, and the nights were often cold. He had only one blanket, which he gave to her, and she would still snuggle close to him to stay warm. As they walked day after day, people sometimes shared food, and
sometimes he would exchange work for something to eat. But he found out that if the people saw Alexandra, they usually refused his request. This made him examine his own heart. He knew the prejudice, and the hate that others showed had also once been in his heart. That helped him be more forgiving of them. When they finally arrived at his hometown, there were few people left. The Germans had killed almost everyone. He found the greatest prejudice of all there. He was ostracized and despised because he had chosen to adopt Alexandra as his own daughter. He had to always protect her. But thankfully, as the years passed, memories grew dim, and the animosity faded away. Now, as he pulled his little four-year-old granddaughter onto his lap and wiped away the mud, he smiled. With her blond hair and blue eyes, she was the very image of the little girl he had rescued so many years before. He thought of how hard it was at that time to find forgiveness in his heart for the massacre of his family. He thought of the trials he had faced to save her. But when his little granddaughter looked up, smiled, and said, “Gampa, I love you,” he knew he had been paid back a hundredfold. But mostly, he knew that the forgiveness he had found in his heart and the sacrifice he had given had all been worth it.

A commitment to being frugal County commissioner’s staff does ‘more with less’ in a tightly-packed room
B
efore the Fourth of July break, we officially moved in to our new office, which just finished construction. Our old office, pictured below, was a perfect example of “doing more with less.” It was a tightly-packed room. Having the four of us in one space helped with communication and teamwork. This cohesion in our small office led to our extremely productive spring, including spearheading creation of the historic Oklahoma Criminal Justice Authority, better known as the Jail Trust. The picture also shows the rest of my downtown employees. Myles Davidson is my chief deputy, who serves on most of the Coun-
ty’s committees, such as infrastructure, and policy and governance. He also acts as supervisor for my office, and his experience in County Government has been instrumental thus far. Jane Lerum, our criminal justice policy director, is an essential part of the success of
passing the Jail Trust and will continue to be important to reform efforts here at the county, as my alternate trustee on the Trust. Gabriel Van Ness, left side of photo, works with constituents — taking calls, letters, emails and involving himself in the community, connecting citizens with the county officials who can solve problems and serve taxpayers well. Spending months with my staff in one small office is a perfect example of our commitment not only to be frugal, responsible stewards of taxpayer money, but to maximize all our resources to serve you the taxpayers and the community. You can expect the same from us even in our new space!

Tips to help plants survive sizzling summer heat When summer heat becomes especially uncomfortable, humans can simply head indoors and beat the heat in air conditioned buildings and homes. Plant life is not so lucky, and homeowners may need to take steps to help the plant life on their properties survive the summer heat. • Monitor soil moisture. Soil moisture, or a lack thereof, can help homeowners determine if their plants are struggling to survive the heat. To check soil moisture levels, use a ruler or even your
finger, sticking either two inches into the ground where you suspect the soil is drying out. f the soil is damp two inches below the surface, then your plants are likely retaining enough moisture to withstand the heat. If the soil is dry two inches below, then you may want to give the soil a deep soak. • Keep an eye on container gardens. Containers may have an especially difficult time staying moist in the summer heat. ThatÕs particularly true for containers that sit in
direct sunlight. Water container gardens daily during summer heat waves, being sure to adhere to any local water restrictions. • Lay down mulch. Mulch helps insulate and protect soil during summer, when soil can quickly dry out. When applied correctly (ideally before summer temperatures get too hot), mulch helps the soil conserve moisture and prevents weed growth. Weeds can rob soil of the water it needs to promote strong root systems, which can help plants get the nutri-
ents they need to withstand summer heat. Mulched soils also do not experience the fluctuations in temperature that nonmulched soils can experience during summer heat waves, helping plants to grow evenly. • Move plants when possible. Plant location can affect their chances of surviving summer heat. Driveways lined with flowers or other plants may look nice, but driveways exposed to the sun can radiate heat at temperatures that exceed the tem-
peratures noted on the thermometer. If possible, move plants to locations on your property that are less exposed to the heat and/or less likely to be affected by the heat. Move container plants beneath trees on hot days, and consider summer heat waves before planting new flower beds. Summer heat can be especially harmful to plant life. But homeowners can employ various strategies to protect the plant life on their properties when temperatures rise during the dog days of summer.

Party marks 100th for former KWTV boss Jacques DeLier moved to Oklahoma City in 1954 to work for KWTV, a CBS affiliate, in Oklahoma City. In 1982, he retired as president of Griffin Television, Inc., the owner of KWTV. In between those years he served as chairman or president of almost every major civic or arts board here. He and his late wife, Barbara entertained and brought to OKC many major stars from CBS for fundraisers. He served as president of the Oklahoma City Golf & Country Club, Oklahoma Air and Space Museum and the Better Business Bureau and as a trustee of St. Gregory’s College in Shawnee. For his service in WWII, Jacques was awarded the Purple Heart, the Air Medal with 12 Oak Leaf Clusters and 2 Bronze Leaf Clusters, the European-AfricanMiddle Eastern Campaign Medal with 4 bronze stars, the ETO Ribbon, 4 Battle Stars, the American Defense Ribbon and a Presidential Unit Citation. The 394th Bomb Group in which Jacques served was
awarded the Croix de Guerre with Palm by the French government. His children Michelin Hobbs and hus-
band, Paul, Mike and Kari Delier and friends gathered to celebrate his 100th birthday at the club recently.

Brightmusic marks 17th year The Brightmusic Society of Oklahoma released its 2019-20 concert season schedule of the Brightmusic Chamber Ensemble. The 17th season’s lineup will shine the spotlight on the contributions of composers who happen to be women. Each concert is to feature a work by a prominent woman composer, from Clara Schumann (1819-1896) to Catherine Likhuta (b. 1981). The season also includes works by some of the bestknown composers who happen to be men: Brahms, Dvo ák, Mozart, Schumann, Haydn, and Tchaikovsky, as well as works by awardwinning contemporaries: Paul Schoenfield and Oklahoma City’s own Edward Knight, to name two. Brightmusic is Oklahoma City’s premier chamber music ensemble. Five regular-season concerts and a four-concert Summer Chamber Music Festival will be presented in the beautiful and historic St. Paul’s Cathedral, recognized for its acoustic
richness. The ensemble is set to be joined this season by two acclaimed guest artists: New York-based pianist Stephen Buck, and University of Michigan professor of French horn Adam Unsworth. Season membership passes are available online at www.brightmusic.org or at the door before the concert. This pass admits concert enthusiasts to all five regular season concerts and to the four concerts of the Summer Chamber Music Festival in June. ••• Concert 1 Sept. 24, 7:30 p.m. “Melodic Masters” Works by three composers: a German, a Czech and a French woman, all masters of melody, kick off our new season. On the program is Brahms’ String Sextet No. 1, Josef Suk’s Piano Quartet in A minor, Op. 1 and a Piano Trio by the only female member of the famed French group Les Six, Germaine Tailleferre. ••• Concert 2
Nov. 12, 7:30 p.m. “From Café to Concert Hall” A trio of trios sure to enchant! American composer and pianist Paul Schoenfield enjoyed performing cabaret music with friends in a café in Minneapolis, which inspired his popular trio “Café Music.” Commissioned by the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, the work became an instant concert hall hit. Also on the program are the oft-performed “Dumky” piano trio of Dvo ák, and the piano trio in G minor by wife of Robert Schumann, Clara, a celebrated concert pianist and a serious composer in her own right. ••• Concert 3 Jan. 21, 7:30 p.m. “Rustic Gardens” Guest pianist Stephen Buck joins the Ensemble to give rustic dances a fresh makeover in Libby Larsen’s “Barn Dances” for flute, clarinet and piano. The Ensemble is also to present Weber’s Quintet for Clarinet and Strings in B-flat and Mozart’s Quartet No. 1

works for horn, clarinet and strings. Brightmusic presents a wide-ranging mix of compositions from the late 18th through early 21st Centuries by a diverse group of composers. Guest French horn player Adam Unsworth will join the Ensemble in works by Haydn, Mozart, Schumann and others. ••• Concert 5 April 14, 7:30 p.m. “Musical
Panorama” The regular season wraps up with works by Tchaikovsky, his ever-popular Souvenir de Florence for 2 violins, 2 violas and 2 cellos, and Sir Malcolm Arnold’s Suite Bourgeoise for flute, oboe and piano. Capping the evening will be “In Box” by Oklahoma City’s Edward Knight, an off-kilter look at the daily communications flooding your inbox.

Stephany Vaughn Haxel, Lesley Pollock Noller and Keri Thompson Eakley celebrating Lesley’s being named Alpha Gam’s 2019 Woman of the Year during the Greater Oklahoma City Alumae Panhellenic luncheon in the spring.
Alpha Gam Alumi Club meets philanthropy, fellowship goals The Oklahoma City Alpha Gamma Delta alumni club capped a fun and exciting year. Philanthropy and fellowship were goals accomplished. Members held many social gatherings, but additionally had a flower arranging workshop that raised over $1,000, donated to the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma. Through other fundraisers, the club made sizable financial donations to the Oklahoma Alpha Gamma Delta chapter houses at both the University of Oklahoma and the University of Central Oklahoma. The funds were used toward rush and recruitment. Club members also funded three
of 50 scholarships for middle school girls to attend the recent Southwestern Oklahoma State University SAGE STEAM Camp, a week of STEAM education, fun, and professional women’s mentoring on the campus, as well as a field trip to Oklahoma City to learn from Devon Energy professionals. Lesley Pollock-Noller was elected as Alpha Gam’s Panhellenic woman of the year. Lesley, who has been on the accounting team at the Daily Oklahoman for over 20 years, is a member of the OKC Junior League and a longtime advocate for Oklahoma’s foster children.
