Animal shelter volunteers sought By Mike W. Ray Staff Writer

By Mike W. Ray Staff Writer A community fair to benefit The Village Library is scheduled for Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., at First Liberty Bank, 9601 N May. Activities will include “family friendly shopping,” inflatables and face painting for children, pet row vendors, food trucks and a bake sale, and at least one vehicle from The Village Fire Department. “At a minimum we will have our primary engine there, and depending on our staffing that day, we may have our rescue unit there, too,” Deputy Fire Chief Chris Brigan said. If the weather is uncooperative, the fair will be rescheduled for Saturday, May 25. The fair is sponsored by Special Friends of The Village Library. Proceeds from the event “are to benefit the library in any way the board decides is appropriate,” said See FAIR, Page 3

A longtime resident of The Village wants to enlist volunteers whose goal would be to save the lives of dogs and cats confined at the municipal animal shelter. “Ours is a little shelter that’s outdated, underfunded, and staffed only part-time,” said Cheryl Steckler. She has been a resident of The Village for 33 years and is an animal rescue volunteer who operates Pet Limousine, a service that transports pets to and from groomers and veterinarians, for example. The Village’s animal control officer, Bryan Balenseifen, “indicated he’s willing to create a Facebook page and post pictures and information about animals that are taken in at the shelter,” Steckler said. “But he’s also the city’s code enforcement officer and that job demands most of his time.” A cadre of volunteers could assist by mounting efforts to locate foster and adoptive families willing to take custody of strays confined at the animal shelter, Steckler suggested. Volunteers also could play a role in encouraging pet owners in The Village to get their

Cat of the Week

See SHELTER, Page 3

Harlan Matzell may not be the world’s most interesting cat, but he is definitely the most interesting cat in the Matzell household. When not begging for treats during the day with pathetic big eyes, Harlan, a.k.a. Fluffs/Ewok is busy doing … well, nothing. However at night, Harlan becomes a ninja cat and resolves to torment his humans by leaving random Nerf bullets, children’s toys and (alarmingly) small pairs of scissors outside bedroom doors. His rather smitten owners are Tim, Lynne and Ian West Matzell. In his next life, Harlan hopes to be a Green Beret or spokesperson for a certain beer company.

Village Animal Shelter strives to find homes for all impounded animals By Mike W. Ray Staff Writer “We try to achieve adoption of all animals we impound at our animal shelter that are not sick or aggressive,” The Village City Manager Bruce Stone said. “At a minimum we are required to keep an animal for 72 hours, and we usually keep adoptable animals indefinitely. But it depends on many factors, including how many animals we have in the shelter; we can only house a cer-

tain number.” The Village animal shelter is a concrete cinder block building at the city’s Public Works headquarters at 1701 NW 115th Street. The structure is approximately 30 years old and has a few small cages for cats and a few large pens for dogs. The shelter is underwritten from the city’s Building and Code Enforcement maintenance and operations budget, which is $31,525 this year, Stone said. “Ample funds are

SOCCER ROUNDUP

Irish girls fall to Hornets in semis After rolling through the first three rounds of the Class 5A

playoffs, the McGuinness girls soccer team’s run came to a halt in the semifinals last Tuesday. The Irish suffered a 1-0 loss at Tulsa Washington to end their season at 14-4.

In the field events, Lexi Joyce finished ninth in the long jump and Logan Pierce was eighth in the pole vault. Meanwhile, five Irish boys also finished in the top 10 with three of them in the field events. Louis Ward led the way in fourth place in the pole vault.

BASEBALL ROUNDUP

Broken Arrow edges Antlers in 6A quarters Deer Creek’s only error of the game proved to be a costly one, as Broken Arrow capitalized on it to score a run in the bottom of the seventh inning for a 2-1 win over the Antlers in a Class 6A quarterfinal game last Thursday at Bixby. After Broken Arrow opened a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the third inning, the Antlers

evened the score in the top of the fifth when Brenden Fitzhugh singled to score Ty Hammack. Kaden Marshall opened the inning with a double but he was thrown out at home after trying to score on Hammack’s single. Bryce Logan and Zandt Payne also singled in the inning but couldn’t score the go-ahead run.

Logan and Hammack paced Deer Creek with two hits each, while Jack Hill accounted for the final of eight hits in the game for the Antlers. Pitcher Piercen McElyea recorded eight strikeouts and allowed just two runs, one earned, on three hits over 6-1/3 innings to take the loss. Deer Creek finished with a 30-11 record.

Sunbeam partners with community groups to create mural As a recipient of a previous Early Head Start Expansion and Early Head Start –Child Care Partnership Grant, Sunbeam Family Services has been able to promote school readiness and help break the cycle of generational poverty and provide comprehensive early childhood education, mental health, health nutrition and parent involvement services to low-income children and their families in central Oklahoma. Little Hearts Child Development Center is one of the early childhood partner sites for Sunbeam and has recently benefitted from playground renovations thanks to the CCP grant and generous community partners.

Angela Duckett, Sunbeam area supervisor of instructional coaches, stated, “We want to give every child an opportunity to explore, feel safe and be successful in a rich learning environment. One of our goals is to make the classrooms and playgrounds stimulating for children that may be at risk in their educational endeavors.” After brainstorming ideas for the playground renovation, Duckett and her team determined transforming a blank wall that was shared between Little Hearts and the American Legion Auxiliary of Oklahoma into a colorful mural would enhance the playground. Once approval was given to move

forward, Duckett reached out to several schools about assisting with the mural. Oklahoma City University responded to the challenge, stating they were interested in the partnership as a way to provide senior art students an opportunity to gain experience. Duckett stated, “We would like to thank the students of OCU who spent numerous hours in the cold, wet and sometimes hot temperatures. If you look closely at the mural, you will be able to find their signatures hidden in the picture. We would also like to thank the American Legion Auxiliary of Oklahoma for allowing us to use their building to stimulate and engage

the young minds of Little Hearts families. We also appreciate artist Lynette Atchley and Munger Paint and Wallpaper for providing supplies at discounted rates. As we know, it takes a village and these partners have been our village for this project.” A reception was held to celebrate the reveal of the playground mural and attended by Sunbeam staff, Little Hearts families, OCU students, the Oklahoma City Arts Commission and other community partners.

OMRF beneficiary of Heisman Week

eisman is more than a football trophy. To the stu-

dents of Putman City North, it means Helping Everyone Inspire Someone to Meet A Need. Students donate money to ORMF through dares and activities at school. Although it is called Heisman Week, money is raised before the week even starts. Although the carnival isn’t until April, fundraising starts in February. Feb. 8 was the kick off Heisman activities, with the Silent Auction. Local businesses and community members donate items to be bid upon. April 12 premiered the first Heisman Blacklight Dance. “The blacklights made it really fun because it was like the blacklight assembly,” See PCN, Page 9

Alleviating flooding in The Village Brewer Construction Co. workers pour concrete to build a right-angle junction box at the corner of Orlando and Sunrise in The Village that connects two sections of 60-inch drainage pipe. Stormwater runoff will pour into the drainage system via inlet grates that will be installed in the pavement on both streets. The job is part of a major project to alleviate flooding in the area by directing rain water from streets in The Village into Oklahoma City’s storm drainage system under Hefner Road. The concrete pipe has to be installed in the streets because of the presence of natural-gas lines on Orlando, Sunrise and Northland, The Village City Manager Bruce Stone said. The $552,000 project is expected to be finished by the end of summer and is being financed from the bond issue voters approved in January 2018.

starring in “Kiss Me, Kate.” Then this week, another OCU Music graduate and star Kristin Chenoweth returned to OKC for a performance benefitting Allied Arts. The talent of these two Oklahomans ranks up there with Broadway’s most celebrated female stars. And there is more coming. One of the highlights of the trip occurred on Tuesday afternoon. The 18 graduating senior performers from the OCU Music School, presented two 2019 Music Theatre and Theatre Showcases.

I was told 80 other universities and schools were doing the same thing last week. The showcases are 45-minute presentations for agents, casting directors and all the people involved with Broadway shows. The showcase was a performance, in itself. Jan McDaniel played the keyboard as the seniors switched seamlessly from one solo or duet to another. There were also two numbers featuring the entire company. Beautiful voices, great acting, each number showing off the perform-

ers many talents. An agent or casting director sitting in front of me busily

shuffled headshots and bios making notes about the students. Between shows and activities, the group was entertained at cocktail parties and dinners hosted by President Burger and the board of trustees. Our last evening Sue Ann Arnall and Dean Steve Agee entertained the OCUers at a cocktail party at her NYC penthouse. The views were spectacular from the terrace.

RSVP of Central Oklahoma helps seniors give back RSVP (Retired and Senior Volunteer Program) was established in 1971 by Senior Corps, part of the Corporation for National & Community Service. Each RSVP location is a separate nonprofit organization, benefiting from the nationwide effort to inspire older adults to volunteer and give back to their own communities. For 45 years, RSVP of Central Oklahoma has been connecting older adults with community volunteer opportunities throughout central Oklahoma, Executive Director Beth Patterson said.

RSVP volunteers make the community a better place by delivering meals, tutoring children, mentoring adults, participating in community gardening, sorting donated goods at food pantries and so much more. “Our volunteers are true Heroes of Compassion,” Patterson said. Volunteers have the opportunity to visit new places, make new friends and stay active and involved. “Our volunteers discover what often starts out as a way to ‘do something’ becomes an amazing way to live,” Patterson said.

Benefits also include supplemental accident and liability insurance coverage, an active membership which includes invitation to social events, a subscription to the quarterly newsletter, access to a wide variety of volunteer opportunities and ongoing support from the RSVP of Central Oklahoma team. There are four easy steps to apply to become a part of RSVP. Step 1: Fill out a simple registration form. Visit www. rsvpokc.org/getinvolved for an online application.

Oklahoma City FRIDAY, Friday, May 17, 2019, Page B5

The beauty in the brokenness By Walker Moore Oklahoma Baptist Foundation Today, I had to say goodbye to an old and trusted friend. We met years ago, when I was a neophyte in the ministry. My traveling days were just beginning, and all I had was a new Bible and an old suitcase made of cardboard. It was just a clothcovered box with a handle, nothing fancy, but it worked. I wasn’t looking for anything in particular that day when I walked into the store, but there she stood, so regal in all her glory. My heart started pounding; I could not turn my head away. It was love at first sight. All I could think of was Solomon 4:7: “You are altogether beautiful, my darling; there is no flaw in you.” This was my first time to see a suitcase with wheels. Why hadn’t someone thought of this earlier? Up until this time, I had walked through the airports leaning to one side, trying to counterbalance the weight of a heavy suitcase. But a suitcase with wheels? All you had to do was pull it behind you. I looked at the nameplate and learned the suitcase was made by “Jaguar.” That settled it. An elegant piece of luggage combined with wheels that could run as fast a jaguar through the airport? This beauty had to come home with me. We walked up to the front of the counter and stood in front of the clerk. I said, “I do!”, paid the fee, and Jaguar and I walked out of the store, one happy couple.

On our first flight together, I checked Jaguar in at the counter and watched as she went off to the plane’s underbelly. When I arrived at our designation, I ran to the carrousel, waiting to be reunited with her. But as she rolled out on the belt, I could tell something was wrong. She had been injured during the flight, and one of her front wheels was broken off. As I stood her upright, she went limp on one side. No longer was she perfect, and she would spend the rest of her life looking different from the other suitcases. From that day forward, I never called her Jaguar again. I now called her “Eileen” (phonetically “I Lean”). But something happened that I didn’t expect. In Eileen’s brokenness, she became more valuable to me. When I had to pick up my suitcase at the end of the jetway, I would see 25 beautiful, regal suitcases, all standing straight and tall. Passengers fondled the various luggage tags, trying to find theirs among all the other clones. I would look out over the sea of straight-handled suitcases, looking for the one that stuck out at an odd angle: Eileen! Most of the suitcase handles were straight up in the air as though a policeman had yelled, “Hands up!” But not Eileen. She always had her arms lifted toward me as if to say, “Come and get me.” In one second, I scooped up Eileen and was off to do Jesus ministry before the other passengers had even decided which suitcase was theirs. It was in her brokenness

that she blessed me the most. Eileen and I have spent decades traveling the world. I have had many who have offered to fix Eileen or buy me a new suitcase. I wouldn’t even entertain the thought because in doing so, I would lose a blessing. You see, Eileen and I are similar. We both have been broken by life, but I have discovered when our brokenness is given over into the Master’s hands, it becomes a beautiful thing. My wife came to me the other day and told me it was time to pass Eileen on. It wasn’t the first time she has suggested this. Eileen’s remaining wheels aren’t moving too well. Her handle gets stuck, and I find myself trying to either force it back down or yank it up. The zippers are worn and tired, and she and I don’t go out as often as we used to. l guess my wife is right. I need to pass Eileen on to someone else. I pray her new owners will recognize her true beauty. Most of the time when I see a painting of Jesus, He looks beautiful, perfect in every way. But like Eileen, His real beauty comes in His brokenness: how He allowed Himself to be beaten, whipped, speared and spat upon to take the sins of the world upon Himself. Through the Savior’s willingness to be broken, my brokenness becomes beautiful too. “‘He himself bore our sins’” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; ‘by his wounds you have been healed’” (1 Pet. 2:4).
