A Village resident is turning her frustration with roadwork into something positive with the sales of “I Survived The Village Road Construction Crisis 2019” t-shirts. Heather Coleman willsplit all proceeds between The Village Pine Pantry and BritVil Pantry. Construction along Britton Road has closed lanes of traffic, caused conjestion and has forced many drivers to take alternate routes. The work is expected to continue until November. “I feel for the other Village drivers and businesses who are like us, waking up to new driving challenges,” Heather said. “After feeling slightly exasperated myself, I joked on social media asking if there were going to be merit badges

Nichols Hills City Clerk and Finance Director Kristi Hort retires By Sara Schlecht Student Intern Nichols Hills said goodbye to City Clerk and Finance Director Kristi Hort, who is retiring at the end of this month. She has been with the city for nearly 10 years. “Working for the city of Nichols Hills has been a wonderful career,” she said. “I love the citizens here and the team I get to work with. The employees are an outstanding group of people.” The way different groups
within city government work together is something she has loved getting to experience. One of Hort’s favorite memories at this job occurred within her first six months. Each time she interacted with two of the city’s firemen, one would claim the other’s name, a production she found to be both confusing and amusing. “I finally made them show me their driver’s licenses,” she said with a laugh. Hort said her retirement
is not something she is doing entirely by choice. Earlier this year, she was diagnosed with ALS — otherwise known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. “I am living with ALS,” she said. “ALS doesn’t have me. God has me. God is living with me and guiding me on this journey.” Hort said she would love to see a cure for ALS found in her lifetime. In her retirement, she looks forward to making memories with and for her children and grandchildren.
Lyric presents ‘Frost/Nixon’ Politics and the press will collide next month as Lyric Theatre presents the Oklahoma City premiere of “Frost/Nixon.” The play by Peter Morgan is based on a series of televised interviews that former U.S. President Richard Nixon granted British broadcaster David Frost in 1977 about his administration, including his role in the Watergate scandal. “Frost/Nixon” opens Wednesday, running through Sunday, Sept. 22, at Lyric at the Plaza, 1725 NW 16 St. It stars Oklahoma theatre favorites Matthew Alvin
Brown as Frost and D. Lance Marsh as Nixon. Morgan’s script gives theatregoers a behind-the-scenes look at one of the nation’s most memorable moments between a U.S. president and the media. British talk-show host Frost has become a lowbrow laughingstock and Nixon has just resigned as president disgraced over Vietnam and the Watergate scandal. Determined to resurrect his career, Frost risks everything on a series of in-depth interviews in

Student intern: Journalism is about people By Sara Schlecht Student Intern Before my internship at OKC Friday, I’d just barely heard of the paper. Now I don’t think I have enough fingers to count the number of people in the community who told me how much this newspaper means to them. Every edition of OKC FRIDAY is a reminder that journalism is about people. Each day presented a new lesson and often a new challenge. I learned elements of AP style my college paper hadn’t yet taught me and the brevity it often takes to tell an entire story. These are among the concrete things I learned and I’m not convinced I could have actually grasped them in a classroom. Then there’s tenacity,
which can’t be quantified. Sometimes I had to leave that second message or send a fourth email. I had to pick up the phone and get out from behind my desk to go get the story. The writing was the easy part. I was incredibly fortunate to have the staff of OKC FRIDAY to help me make each story better. Those extra sets of eyes really make a difference, and there’s always something that can be improved. Or, as happened several
times, corrected. When I think about my favorite moments from my internship, a conversation — or a person — always comes to mind. Not the act of writing. A city councilman told me about his love of storytelling. A high school superintendent explained the way he saw the relationship between education and economics. A Miss Oklahoma contestant talked about the surprising sisterhood between those who competed in the pag-
eant. In these revelations, I find my own biggest takeaway from this internship. The unexpected is everywhere. Journalism requires an open mind and willingness to adapt. A story isn’t always what you expect it to be. That’s why it’s worth writing.

In the television age, image is king, and both men are desperate to out-talk and upstage each other as the cameras roll. The result is the interview that sealed a president’s legacy. The play originally premiered in London in August 2006 and opened on Broadway the following year, earning three Tony Award nominations, including one win for Frank Langella as Nixon for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Play. Langella subsequently received the Drama Desk Award and Outer Critics Circle Award for the same role. Ron Howard, a Hollywood director originally from Oklahoma, directed the 2008 film adaptation of the play of the same title, which reunited its original stage stars, Langella as Nixon and Michael Sheen as

Oklahoma’s Thriving Film Industry
W
elcome back. It has been a busy summer for the film industry in Oklahoma. Senate Bill 200 was signed in May, extending the film rebate program for ten years, doubling the available pool of money to $8 million, and allowing for individual votes on larger film productions like Killers of the Flower Moon starring Leonardo DiCaprio and directed by Martin Scorsese. The new bill is a continuation of the current film rebate program that offers a cash rebate of 3537% on Oklahoma expenditures. That program has led to a direct investment of more than $78 million into 90 communities across Oklahoma. The new bill, SB200, was authored by Senator Roger Thompson, carried through the State House by Representative Jason Dunnington, championed by Lt. Governor Matt Pinnell, and signed into law by Governor Stitt. Not surprisingly, the signing of the new law garnered great attention in Los Angeles and led to a wave of films moving their productions to Oklahoma. Below is an overview of six of the films produced in Oklahoma this summer:
Treasure Lies is faith-based, family film about a hardworking, All American teenager whose life is turned upside down. The film is directed by Emmy Award winner Brett Varvel and written and produced by Scott A. Peterson, who brought the film to Oklahoma because his daughter and son-in-law now live in Yukon and love it. Golden Arm is a buddy comedy about a female truck driver who trains her girly friend to compete for the National Ladies Arm Wrestling Championship. The film is directed by Maureen Bharoocha from Kimmy Kimmel Live! and stars Betsy Sodaro from Disjointed and Dot-Marie Jones from Glee. Southland is a gritty, crime drama about two young lovers who rob their way across the southland, posting their exploits to social media, gaining fame along the way. Written and directed by Joshua Caldwell of Layover, the film stars Bella Thorne
from Shake It Up, Jake Manley from A Dog’s Journey, and Amber Riley from Glee. Breaking Them Up is a comedy about an eighth grader who thinks his parents would be happier with other spouses and sets out to find them. The film stars Kelen Coleman and Tess Aubert from Shameless, and is Executive Produced by Oklahoma natives Bennett LeBarre and Bernie Stern. Sick Girl is an outrageous comedy filmed in Tulsa about a woman whose little lie grows and starts to tear apart an entire community. The film stars Nina Dobrev from The Vampire Diaries and Wendi McLendonCovey from The Goldbergs. Dinosaur World is a science fiction, action film about a group of Virtual Reality gamers that compete against each other and predatory dinosaurs. This film is the sixth film from Oklahoma City based filmmaker Ryan Bellgardt and his company Boiling Point Media. Bellgardt’s films have become wildly popular in international markets, making him one of the most successful filmmakers living and working in Oklahoma.

Bill Anoatubby took over your crown last weekend with his 2-day party honoring the opening of Chickasaws’ remodeled hotel and new casino in Sulphur. It was the nicest, most fun event ever! And you can rest assured all us 200 Oklahoma City guests will spread the word. When we arrived at the new Artesian Hotel in Sulphur, we checked into our complimentary room. To say it was “swanky” would be an understatement. Gifts on the table in our complimentary room included:
The Best of J. Leland Gourley Reprinted from OKC FRIDAY Three boxes of Bedre chocolates, one including three cans of chocolate-covered potato chips, one white chocolate, one milk chocolate, and one dark chocolate. At 6 p.m. on both Friday and Saturday, we gathered in the bar for cocktail socializing. At 7 p.m. we went into the dinner and the show in the ballroom. On Friday night the show was Justin Echols followed by the Byron Berline Band. Saturday night it was a performance by jazz vocalist Steve Tyrell, who plays at the Cafe Carlyle in New York City, singing the music of Sammy Cahn. At the casino with our $50 gambling vouchers, we played slots and blackjack. I won $10 at the slot machines getting my total cash out of $60. Vicki lost $14 at the blackjack table, so we wound up with a $96 cash out family total to bring home. A champagne brunch topped off the weekend. Vicki and I rode down to Sulphur with George and Donna Nigh. The Nighs had to go back Saturday, but Vicki and I stayed over to enjoy the extra day. We caught a ride home with Lee Allan

Smith’s daughter, DeLee. Lee Allan staged the program. ••••• ONE of the most satisfying experiences of my civic life has been serving on the OKC Chamber Board of Directors. In the past 40 years, I have been on that board more than half of those years, from Stanley Draper to Roy Williams as chief executives. I continue to marvel at the enormous influence the Chamber has had in making Our Town a better and growing place to live and do business. You ought to marvel, too. It was through the professional work of the Chamber that Oklahoma City wound up with the location of Tinker Field here. Tinker is still the largest employer in Oklahoma. The Chamber conceived and supported the idea of lumping several projects together in one package, and Mayor Ron Norick executed our fantastic MAPS program that has become the envy of most American cities and thousands of new jobs for Our Town. Stanley Draper was the early day manager, trying to raise money to finance a campaign for a new bond issue for OKC improvements, eight of us the phone. Stanley came up behind me and said: “Don’t waste time explaining it to ‘em. Just get their money and then they’ll be for it.”

Nine rise to Boy Scouting Eagle rank The Eagle Scout Court of Honor Ceremony recognized eight young men — all members of Christ the King Catholic Church’s Boy Scouts of America Troop 120 in Oklahoma City. These young men have earned the prestigious rank of Eagle Scout. It is the highest advancement rank in Boy Scouting. The Eagle Scout rank is only achieved by a rare 6 percent of all Boy Scouts. The young men who were honored at the ceremony are Noah Gus Ballas, Blake Christopher Dolan, Thomas Evan Hosty, Duncan Campbell Ille, Joseph Ian Meyer, Connor James Quigley, Miguel Angel Brown Sanjuan and Chase Henry Weitzel. It is a rare accomplishment indeed for one troop to honor eight boys in one year who have earned this rank. Even more significant and outstanding is the fact that seven of them began their Boy Scouting careers together as cub scouts in Pack 120 also at Christ the King, and have stayed together during their journey to the rank of Eagle Scout. Troop 120 is led by Scout Master Matt Jackson who with his brothers also earned Eagle Scout as a member of

Troop 120 which at that time was led by his father, Rick Jackson. Troup 120 has a long history of developing young boys from Cub Scouts in Pack 120 into young men who are active leaders of their schools, church and community. With these eight new Eagle Scouts, Troop 120 had 169 boys earn the Eagle Scout rank. In order to earn the rank of Eagle Scout, a Boy Scout must progress through five ranks prior to that of Eagle, earn 21 merit badges, serve six months in a troop leadership position, plan, develop and give leadership to a service project for any religious
organization, any school or community, and successfully complete an Eagle Scout Board review. Each merit badge introduces the Scout to a different series of elements including: health, citizenship, leadership and communication. These accomplishments will follow these young men in their daily lives and as they complete their journey through education, career and family. ••• William Wynn Shons, age 15, has earned the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest rank within the Boy Scouts of America program. He is a member of Troop
201 chartered to Covenant Presbyterian Church in The Village, under the direction of Scoutmaster Sean Hamilton. Will demonstrated leadership to others in a service project benefitting the Central Oklahoma Humane Society where he oversaw a complete remodel of the outdoor area behind the neonatal and intake center. Phase 1 was overall clean-up including removal of rock, glass and other debris. Phase 2 was leveling and grading the soil as well as laying new top soil and planting shade trees.

You never know who you might run into By Walker Moore Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma I am writing today from the ancient city of Jerusalem. I have taken a couple of weeks to spend time with my oldest son, Jeremiah. Jeremiah teaches in a public high school, covering subjects like History and Geography. He is an incredible teacher because his lessons combine his deep studies of these subjects along with life experiences. Growing up as the son of a missionary, he has his dad’s wanderlust and love of different cultures and people groups. One of the places Jeremiah wanted to know more about was the Middle East. Since I have been here a number of times, he thought I would be the cheapest tour guide he could find. He wanted to visit places like Jerash, Petra and Aqaba in Jordan. In Israel, he wanted to visit the Red Sea, Masada, the Dead Sea and Jerusalem with its many ancient sites. So that is how I ended up writing this week’s article from Jerusalem. As we have been traveling, God has brought people alongside us for both personal joy and ministry. The first encounter we had was in the Dallas/Fort Worth airport. A dear family friend, April Cole, was flying into Tulsa to surprise my wife for her birthday. To make a long story short, her flight was canceled several times, she was rerouted to Terminal D and ended up at the same place as Jeremiah and me. So we got to visit, eat and pray with her before her flight departed. What are the odds? As I was leaving to walk to our gate, I saw a group of student missionaries walking by, and I heard my name called out. There was my
friend Dr. Grant Byrd from First Baptist McKinney, Texas. If I ever had a twin brother in the ministry, it would be Grant. He has taken youth all over the world, and this day, he was leading another team to Africa. For three days after we arrived in the Middle East, Jeremiah and I joined a tour group going to Jordan to visit several cities. There was a couple there from Mexico City celebrating their 20th anniversary. Part of our itinerary was to spend a night in a Bedouin camp in the Wadi Rum desert. The Wadi Rum where they filmed “Aladdin,” “Star Wars: Rogue One,” and “The Martian.” But we older folks know the Wadi from “Lawrence of Arabia.” While sitting out under the star-filled sky, the couple from Mexico told us through tears that they had just received word that their grandmother had passed away, and they wouldn’t be able to get back in time for the funeral. I asked them if I could pray for them. In the middle of a desert, I was able to bring words of comfort and hope. We met another couple, too. His name was Rui, and he was from Brazil. Her name was Holly, and she was from New York. After high school, he went to study in Sweden; and she went to study in Italy. Rui went to Italy to work, and soon, they met and married. They are now expecting their first child, a girl named Marta. One day, our group stopped on the side of the road to have some watermelon. We walked through some sand and climbed up on a ledge to reach some shade and get a good view of the valley below. It is a place where many people have stopped; their names are etched,
painted or scratched into the wall. I saw a heart someone had etched. I took a rock and etched the name “Marta” above the heart. I had Rui stand and point at his daughter’s name and then sent him the picture. I knew this young couple didn’t understand what I was doing, but years from now, they can say to their daughter, “Even before you were born, your name was etched into stone.” Last night, Jeremy and I went out for dinner in Jerusalem. Shabbat had ended, and the streets were full of people. We decided to eat at Pizza Hut. Pizza Hut is different in the Middle East because they offer only one kind of meat on their pizza: tuna fish. So we ordered a cheese pizza. While we were sitting there, a woman and a young man walked by. The young man was wearing an Oklahoma University T-shirt, and Jeremiah attended OU, so he called to the kid, and the two walked over to our table. We soon learned that they were from Tulsa, the city where I live, and the woman graduated from Memorial High School, the same school my youngest son had graduated from. Then it dawned upon me: I know this woman. Jeremiah and I had run into Dr. Deborah Gist, the superintendent of Tulsa Public Schools, and her nephew. Today, my son and I are going to rummage around the Old City, trying to absorb its history. But who knows what God has for us in meeting and ministering to people? God cares about people. He cares about you. And He can touch your life, no matter which of the four corners of the world you are standing on.
