Village parking ordinance met with mixed reviews By Mike W. Ray Staff Writer Approximately 70 people packed into The Village City Hall Monday night, many to voice their opinions about a proposed new ordinance to regulate boats, trailers and recreational vehicles (RVs). The City Council listened for an hour and a half, and announced it would take the comments under advisement and vote on the ordinance at a later date. The proposed ordinance would prohibit parking
buses, travel trailers and commercial vehicles on streets and would banish boats and watercraft trailers unless they were parked in side or rear yards and fenced-in to screen them from view. Under the current City Code, trailers, boats, motor homes and RVs are limited to two-hour parking on streets for loading or unloading; the proposed ordinance would allow them to be parked for up to 48 hours. Vehicles parked on residential lots could be no
wider than 7 feet, no longer than 22 feet and no taller than 9 feet. And the number of trailers, buses, RVs, motor homes and commercial vehicles that could be parked on a residential lot would be limited to one. As might be expected, opinions were mixed. “The Village should not be a commercial storage facility,” Victoria Blair, a resident of the city for 18 years, said in support of the proposal. “This is a residential See VILLAGE, Page 3

Our students organize to protect the planet By Mike W. Ray Staff Writer
Teach for America – Oklahoma City, a nonprofit organization
Young people in Fridayland are encouraging parents, students and others to do their part to protect our planet. Dozens of young Oklahomans left school one day last month and assembled on the south plaza of the State Capitol for the National Youth Climate Strike intended to focus attention on global climate change. Months before that event, several high school students calling themselves “Clean & Green” organized to promote “reduce, reuse and recycle.” They are a group of approximately 15 students from Casady, Bishop McGuinness and Heritage Hall schools whose mission is to “create a cleaner and healthier neighborhood by increasing awareness about reduce, reuse, and recycle.”

the opportunity to help students receive a well-deserved, quality education.” Teach for America - Oklahoma City (TFA-OKC) is a diverse network of leaders working to confront education inequity through teaching and at every sector of society to create a country free from this injustice. Since 2011, TFA-OKC has been serving communities in central and western Oklahoma. “We are ecstatic to be selected as the 2019 Redbud beneficiary and can’t think of a better way to support our organization and its students,” TFA-OKC Executive Director Art Serna Jr. said. “Teach for America – Oklahoma City has worked to create opportunities for kids in our
most underserved communities and appreciate the opportunity Redbud has given us to share our message.” The Redbud Classic events continue past the finish line with the fifth annual Redbud Bash. The Bash will be held Sunday, April 7 at 1 p.m. in the finish area at Nichols Hills Plaza.

Also when police arrived on the scene, a car parked nearby with its engine running started to take off but was stopped from leaving and the driver was detained, Landon said. Subsequently police officers reviewed video from the homeowner’s camera system. Three of the suspects were identified from the clothing found at the scene. Officers also recovered a dumbbell
that was used to break into the house, along with the victim’s wallet and his laptop computer, both of which were found in the discarded backpack, Landon said. All four suspects were taken to the Oklahoma County Jail on charges of firstdegree burglary and being in possession of an offensive weapon while committing a felony. Two of the men are 19 and two are 21; two listed Oklahoma City addresses, one lives in Bethany and one is from Yukon, records reflect. One of the Oklahoma City men pleaded guilty in Oklahoma County District Court to drug charges last October and is awaiting sentencing on April 17, court records show.

community.” Peggy Vogt disagreed. “Livelihood and lifestyle: everybody has a preference,” she said. Sonja Verlinde told the council that after she and her husband, Craig, an Army veteran who served in Vietnam, moved to The Village from Lawton six years ago, they “sunk our life savings” into a travel trailer they bought last year. Both are retired and want to use the vehicle to introduce their grandchildren to nature, “get them away from video games and TV.” The problem, Mrs. Verlinde said, is that their travel trailer is 8 feet wide, 26 feet long, and 9 feet 4 inches high. They spent $23,000 to buy the trailer and more than $5,000 to widen their driveway, where the vehicle is parked “because we can’t afford a storage facility.” Furthermore, she added, they checked with City Hall to ensure that they were in compliance with city codes. Councilman Stan Alexander said he disapproves of RVs,
trailers and boats being parked in front of houses in The Village. “I don’t any want resident who doesn’t own a boat or an RV to have his property values reduced because of a neighbor,” said Alexander, a retired insurance agent. “If you can afford to own an RV, you can afford to store it. And if you can afford a boat, you can put it on Lake Hefner.” Vice Mayor Cathy Cummings spoke in opposition to the measure. “There’s so much government in our lives already, I’m not going to tell you what to do with your property,” she said. Robert Mansell said he and his wife are 27-year residents of The Village. Both are in their 70s, retired and, “We love our motor home, our 1948 Jeep and the trailer we tow it on. That’s what we worked for years to enjoy for the rest of our lives.” Mansell told the City Council he and his wife spent four evenings recently counting the number of boats, motor homes, travel trailers and utility trailers parked in driveways in The Village. The result, he said, were three motor homes; two conversion vans; six boats, two of which appeared to be neglected;
five travel trailers, two parked behind a stockade fence “but still visible from the street”; 14 utility trailers, two of which “were obviously commercial related” and several of which were enclosed and apparently were “work-related.” Many of the homes where the Mansells saw boats and utility trailers “don't have access to their back yard,” he said. The Mansells said their motor home is almost 8 feet wide and the trailer is 8 feet, 3 inches wide. During most summer months “we have kept the motor home in our driveway,” but it and the trailer spend winters “behind our house … out of sight from the street.” Under the proposed new ordinance, only one of the two – the motor home or the trailer – could be on their property at any given time, yet “when we use one, we use the other, too.” In addition, “both are wider than the proposed new guidelines.” And storage fees would cost them $165 for both, Mansell said. Mansell’s suggestions? Eliminate the width restrictions and, “Deal with the people causing any issue individually. Don't include the entire Village population over a few complaints.”

Museum Films in April
T
he Oklahoma City Museum of Art has a wonderful film program. The Noble Theater is the nicest movie theater in town, offering plush new seats with cup holders and a new alcohol policy that allows you to bring a glass of wine or cocktail into the theater during the film. Film curator Lisa Broad and museum curator Michael Anderson both have doctorates in film from NYU and program a fabulously eclectic slate of films, including the best American independent, foreign and classic films. Below is a look at some of the highlights coming up in April. Please visit www.okcmoa.com/fil ms for dates and show times. APOLLO 11 lands at the Museum this weekend, offering a final chance to see this amazing documentary about the 1969 moon landing on the big screen. The film dominated conversations at Sundance and opened last weekend to $7 million at the box office, a stunning feat for a historical documentary. Grab the entire family and go see this uplifting look at one of America’s finest moments. Next weekend, the Museum will screen 3 Faces, the latest film from Iranian
director Jafar Panahi. In 2010, the Iranian government banned Panahi from making movies. This is his fourth feature film made during the ban that has been snuck out of the country for distribution. 3 Faces opens with an apparent cellphone suicide video, shot by a young actress whose family will not allow her to pursue her preferred career. Distraught, the recipients of the video travel through the night to the girl’s remote mountain village, where they search for the truth about the missing girl and the mysterious video. Joining 3 Faces next weekend is Diane, an American independent film starring Tulsa native Mary Kay Place. Place won the Emmy in 1977 for her portrayal of Loretta Haggers in the television show Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman. She was also nominated in 1974 for co-writing an episode of M*A*S*H and in 2010 for her guest actress turn in the series Big Love. In the film Diane, Place
plays a selfless mother who puts the needs of everyone ahead of herself, especially her drugaddicted son played by Jake Lacy. Critics are calling this role a career defining performance for Place, who has 135 acting credits on IMDB. Later in the month, a guaranteed crowd pleaser arrives with The Chaperone, a historical drama from Julian Fellowes, the creator Downton Abbey. The film is set in early 1920’s America and offers an intimate glimpse into the early life of a silent screen icon. The film stars Downton Abbey’s Elizabeth McGovern. The month wraps up with Ramen Shop, a delicious Japanese film which premiered in the 2018 Berlin Film Festival’s Culinary Cinema sidebar. Brimming with mouthwatering cinematography and fascinating culinary lore, Ramen Shop is an instant-classic food movie, a poignant cross-cultural reunion drama and a heartwarming tribute to the healing power of family recipes. The full list of Museum films, dates and times for April can be discovered at okcmoa.com/films.
Wes Welker Foundation dreaming big Twelve years ago, The Wes Welker Foundation’s Cleats & Cocktails event began as a small get-together amongst friends to raise money for the athletic programs in Oklahoma City Public Schools. Over the years, the event and now the name - Playmakers Ball, has evolved into a premier event in our community thanks to our generous donors. Since the Foundation’s inception in 2006, it has distributed over $1.7 million to over 30 Oklahoma City schools and organizations, the most recent spring grants exceeding $140,000. These funds have provided weight room equipment, football helmets, cheerleading mats, pom poms, uniforms for basketball, softball and soccer teams
and field equipment on many repurposed fields. “Our Grants program is the root of what the Wes Welker Foundation is about - answering the desperate need of quality equipment and apparel to allow kids in OKCPS to safely play, learn, develop and feel confident. Our Grants Committee members begin their process with an in-person school visit that is extremely thorough and detailed. It is very gratifying for both the staff and the Foundation’s Board of Directors to see the excitement and relief on the faces of coaches and school administrators when they learn their requests have been awarded,” says David Luke, Wes Welker Foundation
Board President. The Foundation’s mission is to influence at-risk youth, by encouraging their full potential through athletics and positive role models. They accomplish this by providing three things: Grants to Oklahoma City Schools and organizations, Sports Camps and Coach & Leadership Development. The Wes Welker Foundation will hold its 4th Annual 7-on-7 Camp for area high school football teams on June 1. Athletes from the Oklahoma City community will have the opportunity to participate in a first class one-day camp and to experience a 7-on-7 competition 100% free of charge. Also, the Foundation will host
its 2nd Annual Game Day Cheer Preview this fall. The competing cheer squads have an opportunity to practice and receive feedback from college cheerleaders and coaches before they head to the State Competition. To purchase tickets to the Playmakers Ball on April 12 or to learn more about programs and recent grant distributions, please visit weswelkerfoundation.org or call (405) 286-9021.

The issue of excessive consumption and America’s throw-away society has taken on a sense of urgency ever since China announced 15 months ago that it would no longer accept many materials that previously were imported for recycling, because contamination levels were too high. The ban included 24 kinds of solid waste, including unsorted paper and some types of plastic; China had been the world’s largest importer of recycled paper and plastic.

Earth Day and Arbor Day observance in the Nichols Hills City Hall on April 26. They will encourage drinking from glass containers or reusable bottles instead of disposal plastic bottles; using silicone “stasher” bags that can be cleaned in a dishwasher, in lieu of disposal, non-biodegradable plastic storage bags; reusable straws and reusable grocery and shopping bags. All of those items can be found in grocery stores and/or department stores, said Nancy Herzel, who chairs the Nichols Hills Environment, Health and Sustainability Commission. “These are relatively simple ways to keep waste out of landfills,” she added. “But we have to retrain ourselves in how we think and act.” “A little change goes a long way,” Miss Stenseth said. “Every little bit helps.” “I encourage and applaud the efforts” of Clean & Green,” Herzel said. “I’m excited about their enthusiasm and their awareness of what needs to be done to protect our fragile environment.”

Save for college starting today Guest Column By State Treasurer Randy McDaniel
I
t is an honor to serve as your state treasurer and support programs important to achieving a more prosperous state. One of my key goals is to increase the number of Oklahomans who save for college. Graduates today with student loans owe, on average, more than $37,000. Without that debt, new graduates would have a fresh start and could more likely make a down payment on a home, invest for the future, or even start their own business. A college education will be crucial to the success of many future leaders. Ensuring Oklahomans can earn a degree without the undo stress of burdensome student loans is becoming an increasingly important issue to address. With only weeks until the tax filing deadline, now is the perfect time to open an Oklahoma 529 College Savings Plan account or contribute to an existing one. Contributions made by the filing deadline are deductible from last year’s state income taxes. Contribution limitations do apply. When distributions are made, they are not taxed when used to pay for a variety of qualified expenses at most higher learning
institutions, as well as tuition at K-12 schools. We encourage saving for college through a number of statewide initiatives. Our 529 plan administrator continues to provide opportunities for Oklahoma families to receive financial awards. It should be noted that no taxpayer funds are used for the awards or their promotion. For example, we recently launched the Change the World contest inviting students in pre-K through sixth grade to participate and describe how they hope to make a meaningful difference after college. Winners will receive a $1,529 college savings contribution. Additionally, each winner’s school will be given $500 for operations and classroom expenses. As a former banker and financial adviser, I’ve witnessed firsthand the value of making a financial plan and taking action promptly. Today, I encourage families to invest in their loved one’s future prosperity and quality of life by saving with the Oklahoma 529 College Savings Plan. To learn more about the benefits of saving for college, please visit 529oklahoma.com.

PANTONE Color of the Year 2019
Living Coral
Spring 2019 is all about vibrant prints, botanicals, dots and micro stripes. The pantsuit and shirtdress reemerge with modern cuts and soft feminine lines. Luxe textures are galore with touches of metallic. Pants ranging from high waisted and wide legged to crop flares, add newness to your wardrobe. Trench coats, kitten heels and denim that are elevated and effortless are Spring must have items to LOVE! Jane Webb Childress - Owner • CK & Co.
One of my favorite Spring/Summer 2019 trends is the continued love affair with white and all shades of ivory and mixing all together. What could be more iconic than white linen or cotton for all Summer long? It's cool, fresh and versatile. It can look romantic and luxurious, or it can be a great everyday staple, such as white jeans styled with a variety of blouses. Another musthave trend are the playful prints, such as the iconic Pucci print, polka dots and lots of stripes, think either the classic French Breton top or Nantucket wider stripes. So many fabulous fabrics this season with eyelet, pique, lace and lots of innovative mixes. And have to end with the color story, beyond white. Loving the beautiful Pantone colors of Living Coral, Pink Peacock and Aspen Gold. Warm neutrals are also big this season, and so is navy. And I keep reading that black is back which makes me laugh every time, because didn't realize it had gone away! :) Cindi Shelby – Director of Stylists • WORTH New York
Spring 2019 is looking bright starting with the Pantone color of the year Living Coral. Prints are strong including animal, plaid, floral and polka dots. Side stripes and hem details are also strong. Demifine jewelry is blurring the lines between fine and costume. Linen will remain a good choice for staying chic and cool in colors that compliment! Krista Souther - Owner • Krista Anne’s Boutique
This spring, florals are back - beautiful combinations of color and designs are drawing the eye to their beauty! Every cut of blouse is also available to pair with your choice of pants. This spring and summer, the white Capri or leggings will go beautifully with all the new prints, guaranteed to flatter all body types! There is also the popular checked blouse, particularly in clear reds and blues that give a fresh look to all Barbara Smola – Owner • Barbara’s

"Look for everything ombre' this spring and fall. We started seeing the influence from Thailand with several manufacturing houses 3-4 years ago and now the trend has hit full stride in jewelry as well as clothing. If the fashion magazines say that 'layering is out,' we don't see it. If anything, women are layering on more and more of everything! Like anything else. Put it all on and, if it's too much, just start removing a piece at a time until you achieve the look you're after." Valerie Naifeh - Owner, • Naifeh Fine Jewelry
At Kokopelli, we all love the lightweight cotton skirts and shirt dresses, perfect for our warm Oklahoma weather! Fabrics like cotton shirting, gauze and flowy knits are super easy to pair with anything from trendy sneakers to heels. Jumpsuits are still really strong, in stripes and floral prints.

Former mafia boss is prayer breakfast speaker On Wednesday, April 17, 2019 at 6:30 a.m., Christian Business Men’s Connection (CBMC) will host its annual prayer breakfast at the Cox Convention Center Great Hall. This has become one of the most meaningful community events held in the metropolitan area. The purpose of this event is to bring together Oklahoma’s city, state and national leaders as well as the business leaders of the Oklahoma City metro area to pray for community leaders as well as listen to the guest speaker, Michael Franzese. Randy Roper, MidFirst Bank, is the honorary chairman. KWTV news anchor, Kelly Ogle will be the master of ceremonies. Guest musicians will be Karlie and Cole Grubbs from Crossings Community Church in Edmond. Franzese grew up as the son of a notorious underboss of New York’s violent and feared Colombo crime family. At the age of 35, Fortune Magazine listed Michael among the “Fifty Most Wealthy and Powerful Mafia Bosses” and one of the biggest mob money-earners since Al Capone. Avoiding traditional mob domains, Michael masterminded brilliant scams on the edge of the legitimate business world. From auto dealerships and union kickbacks, to financial services and the sports and entertainment industries, to a
MICHAEL FRANZESE
multi-million-dollar gasoline tax scheme, he earned millions in cash every week at his peak. In 1985, Michael was indicted on 14 counts of racketeering, counterfeiting and extortion. He pled guilty, accepted a 10-year prison sentence and vowed to do the unthinkable – walk away from the mob. Nobody of his rank had ever done that and lived without protective custody. While in prison, he became a Christian and experienced a complete transformation in his heart. Michael now spends his life sharing Christ’s redemptive story with anyone seeking the inspiration to beat the odds and make positive changes in their life. Those who attend this year’s Metro Prayer Breakfast will be
captivated by stories of his personal experiences in organized crime and eye-opening testimony of the power of grace and forgiveness by his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Plan on hearing how Franzese survived dozens of grand jury appearances, five major racketeering indictments, five criminal trials, seven years in prison and a Mafia death sentence. Franzese has written four books, has been featured on many television and radio talk shows, has had a movie written about his life and in 2018 a Las Vegas show opened. He has spoken to students at over 400 college campuses and to prison inmates around the world. He has also addressed professional athletes. He resides in southern California, is married and has seven children. Those who have confirmed attending as guests at the head table are Governor Kevin Stitt, Mayor David Holt, Senator James Lankford, Congresswoman Kendra Horn, Superintendent Joy Hofmeister, Lt. Governor Matt Pennell and many others. If you would like to attend this year’s Metro Prayer Breakfast, there are tables still available, as well as general seating. You may order tickets on line at cbmc.live/ mpb19 or contact the CBMC office at 302-CBMC.

Camp Olympia helps build self confidence, fosters independence What is planned for your child this summer? An overnight summer camp experience, especially at Camp Olympia in east Texas, promotes many growth opportunities in addition to being FUN! The Camp Olympia experience helps campers grow in independence and builds self-confidence as they explore their interests and discover new skills in a positive environment free from screens and electronics. Campers develop resiliency and communication skills by participating in a variety of team-building activities, and in turn form lifelong friendships along the way! Camp Olympia provides an exceptional environment filled with fun, friends, learning, and independence! Camp Olympia is a private, overnight summer camp for boys and girls ages 6-16 with over 50 summers of camp experience. There are one to three-week overnight camp sessions from June to August. Located right on the shores of Lake Livingston, Camp Olympia has the perfect location for water-
front activities like wakeboarding, canoeing, sailing, kayaking and more. Campers choose activities from a list of over 45 so each camper has a truly individualized summer camp experience. Activity options, including sports, adventure, arts, water activities, span from horseback riding to golf to challenge course to archery. There is something for everyone at camp! Additionally, Camp Olympia has gone above and beyond many private camps to demonstrate their commitment to safety by complying with the accreditation standards of the American Camping Association (ACA) and requiring an extensive Counselor Training School prior to the beginning of summer. Their dynamic group of college counselors serves as positive role models for campers while striving to keep a counselor to camper ratio of 1:4 in each cabin. Make this summer unforgettable for your child. Join us at Camp Olympia! Learn more or register for Summer 2019 at www.campolympia.com!
Summer camp is a good choice Summer vacation offers students a respite from lessons and the routine of school. Children might once have eagerly awaited those final days of classes so they could lounge poolside, skip rocks across ponds and spend the long days of the season playing with friends. But many of today's youngsters spend much of their summer vacations indoors playing with their digital devices. Perhaps that's why one of the last vestiges of the classic summer vacation escape — summer camp — remains such a viable option for parents who want their children to get outdoors once the school year ends. Although kids needn't be in camp all summer long, a week or
two can benefit campers of all ages. The following are five reasons why summer camp might be the right fit this year. 1. Explore talents. Summer camps help young people explore their unique interests and talents. Under an organized, yet often easygoing, camp schedule, kids can dabble in sports, arts and crafts, leadership and community support. 2. Physical activity. Lots of camps build their itineraries around physical activities that takes place outdoors. Campers may spend their time swimming, running, hiking, playing sports, climbing, and so much more. 3. Gain confidence. Day and sleepaway camps offer campers the opportuni-
ty to get comfortable in their own skin. Camps can foster activities in self-esteem by removing the academic measures of success and fill in with noncompetitive opportunities to succeed. 4. Try new things. Camp gives children the chance to try new things, whether that's learning to cook, exploring new environments or embracing a new sport or leisure activity. 5. Make new friends. Camp is a great place to meet new people and make lifelong friends. Campers flood in from areas near and far. This provides kids with a chance to expand their social circles beyond their immediate neighborhoods and schools.
Camp Olympia’s group of college counselors serves as positive role models for campers while striving to keep a counselor to camper ratio of 1:4 in each cabin.
