Lance reigns over 2019 Senior Follies
County budget hearing set is set for Thursday By Mike W. Ray Staff Writer
King Bill Lance led the talented actors and singers on stage last weekend as the Oklahoma Senior Follies returned to the Oklahoma City University stage to raise money for the Alzheimers Foundation and encourage seniors to stay active and pursue their gifts.

The Oklahoma County Budget Board has tentatively endorsed a slight increase in the county’s Fiscal Year 2019-20 General Fund budget, which includes an increase in the sheriff ’s budget, another cost-of-living raise for county employees, a significant decrease in the county clerk’s operating budget and more than $1 million in cost savings on health care claims. A public hearing on the county’s budget DAVID HOOTEN will be held in downOklahoma town Oklahoma City County Clerk on Thursday at 10 a.m., at 320 Robert S. Kerr Ave. (the annex building next to the county courthouse), Room 204. The proposed Oklahoma County General Fund budget for FY 2020, which starts July 1 and ends June 30, 2020, is $100.68 million. That constitutes “a modest increase” of $1.4 million, or 1.5 percent over the current General Fund budget of $99.2 million, County Clerk David B. Hooten said. The General Fund is the principal source of operational revenue for most county government offices. The Budget Board, at Hooten’s request, lowered the county clerk’s FY ‘20 General Fund budget to $2.5 million, a reduction of $212,619, or 7.9 percent, from its current

Division in politics of concern to 2019 grads By Sara Schlecht Student Intern Conscientious concerns about division in the current political climate and its effects topped those held by members of OKC FRIDAY’s All-Star Leadership and Scholarship teams. These All-Stars are graduates of Fridayland high schools and appeared in our
recent Class of 2019 edition. Upon being asked “What is the greatest concern facing your generation?” many of the All-Stars indicated concern about divisions within society, be they political or something else entirely. “Our nation has been divided by political and ideological lines which create constant controversy and sometimes
Emergency Medical Services Authority costs up slightly for Village By Mike W. Ray Staff Writer The Emergency Medical Services Authority (EMSA) notified The Village its bill in Fiscal Year 2019-20 will increase by 3 percent. The subsidy could climb to $70,912, which is incorporated into the proposed new city budget, City
Manager Bruce Stone said. However, he added, “The amount they usually bill us is lower than what they first say.” The Village paid EMSA a subsidy of $55,000 in this fiscal year, which ends on June 30, he said. The payments, Stone said, “provide EMSAcare for all residents of The Village,” who number nearly
10,000. “This pays for all ambulance costs incurred above and beyond what applicable insurance pays for. If the resident has no insurance, it pays the total cost.” The city’s subsidy “pays for transport in any area covered by EMSA,” he said. EMSA responded to 102 medical emergency reports in The Village in April that resulted in 81 transports
to area medical facilities, ledgers reflect. The average response time was 10 minutes and 49 seconds, EMSA records show. EMSA is Oklahoma's largest provider of pre-hospital emergency medical care. It has a fleet of vehicles that provide ambulance service to more than a million residents in central and northeast Oklahoma.

In addition to political division, students said social divisions also present problems. “My generation bears the heavy weight of lasting racism in our country,” said Mount St. Mary graduate Ean Heise. “It is up to my generation to put an end to racial tensions or have civil rights progress undone before our very eyes.” Despite their worries, some students seemed confident that these problems could be conquered. “The greatest concern facing our generation is disunity,” said Mount St. Mary graduate Christian Yabut. “I am confident our generation will overcome this problem, yet if we don’t then our nation will fail to progress.” Another concern shared by numerous students was the environment. “My generation’s greatest concern is that the damage we are doing to the environment will soon become irreversible,” said Katherine Cadzow,

Clerk’s office cuts budget by running ‘lean,’ accepting credit cards By Mike W. Ray Staff Writer Oklahoma County Clerk David Hooten requested a reduction in his proposed Fiscal Year 2019-20 General Fund budget for two reasons, he said. The state Legislature passed a measure “which will soon improve funding for … county clerks’ offices statewide, by letting them keep a greater portion of user fees received for processing certain lien documents,” he said. In addition, “my
COUNTY From Page 1 level of $2.7 million. The sheriff ’s General Fund budget was increased by $2.5 million, or 6.7 percent, to $40 million, according to Danny Lambert, chief deputy and finance director in the County Clerk’s Office. The allocation was divided between detention ($30 million) and law enforcement ($10 million), Lambert said. Oklahoma County’s Board of Commissioners voted unanimously May 22 to create a nine-member trust to oversee the operation and finances of Oklahoma County’s troubled jail. The wages of some of the sheriff ’s deputies were so low that they qualified for food stamps, Lambert said. “That’s an ongoing problem we’re trying to address,” Hooten said. The County Assessor’s proposed budget for FY ‘20 is almost $8.3 million, which includes $3 million for office operations plus $5.28 million for property revaluations. The budget for the Juvenile Bureau would be $5.26 million. That includes $2.29 million for bureau operations and $2.97 million for the Oklahoma County Detention Center, an 80-bed facility designed for short-term secure placement of minors who have committed serious violations of the law. Last year, the detention center staff admitted and provided care for 909 youths, the Probation Services Unit supervised 520 minors and the Intake and Diversion Services
own office was already realizing significant benefits from cost-saving technology and management reforms” enacted over the past two years. Consequently, the County Clerk’s Office is operating with fewer employees: 40 full-time staff and at least one intern, trimmed from a previous staffing level of 52, Hooten said; in some of those instances, retirees were not replaced, he said. “We are running leaner than we had been in the past,”
Hooten said. He also said employees in his office are cross-trained to perform the tasks of other employees. One of the changes Hooten implemented was in how payments can be made. Previously the County Clerk’s Office accepted payments by cash or check, but not by credit card, during office hours (8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday). Payments to the County Clerk’s Office now can be made by credit card, as well. Also, the office’s
records now are accessible online via the internet, 24/7/365. The ability to use a credit card “allows the customer the convenience to take care of business online (if wanting copies) and not have to come downtown,” said Michele Nicholson, Hooten’s executive assistant. However, she said, “If they need to file a document, then they will have to take care of that in person and pay via cash, check, or credit card.” “In the past, anyone
Unit supervised 153 youths on diversion plans, according to Erin McConnell, assistant facility administrator – operations. The proposed Oklahoma County budget includes a 3 percent across-the-board cost of living allowance (COLA) for the county’s employees, ledgers reflect. County employees received a 2 percent COLA last year, in response to the rate of inflation. Oklahoma County has approximately 1,600 employees, a number that “changes daily,” Hooten said. The payroll includes about 650 employees in the Sheriff ’s Department, approximately 130 in the Court Clerk’s Office, about 80 in the Assessor’s Office, 146 in the Juvenile Bureau and 40 in the County Clerk’s Office. The proposed budget has funds for a dozen new employees in various county departments. The amount transferred to the county’s Employee Benefits
Fund was scaled back by $1.1 million, from $4.5 million last year to $3.4 million in FY ‘20. “This resulted from cost-saving health care initiatives the county implemented in recent years, coupled with lower claims experience,” Lambert said. Oklahoma County is self-insured, he said. “We have seen a considerable decrease in our prescription drug claims” this year, he said, and the county has a Health and Safety Department that “does a great job” toward reducing workers’ compensation claims. After the public hearing June 13, the county’s Budget Board will consider final adoption of the FY ‘20 General Fund budget. The document will then be referred to the County Excise Board for review on June 17 at 9:30 a.m.; that meeting will be held at 320 Robert S. Kerr Ave., Room 205. The Budget Board is comprised of all eight
elected Oklahoma County officials: County Commissioners Carrie Blumert (District 1), Brian Maughan (District 2) and Kevin Calvey (District 3), Court Clerk Rick Warren, Assessor Larry Stein, Treasurer Forrest “Butch” Freeman, Sheriff P.D. Taylor, and County Clerk Hooten.
wanting to transact business with the County Clerk’s Office had to pay $10 to park downtown and go through the county courthouse security system,” Hooten said. “And then when they learned the office didn’t accept credit cards, they’d often have to leave the office, go find an ATM and withdraw cash and then go through security again to return to our office.” Another upgrade in
the County Clerk’s Office is that when anyone files a lien, the owner of the property is notified. In instances when the property owner’s name is similar to that of other individuals, all of them are automatically notified. That way, no one who wants to sell a parcel of real estate or pass it along to a relative will discover belatedly that a lien is pending on that property, Hooten said.

YMCA hosts Caleb’s Cause June Diaper Drive The YMCA of Greater Oklahoma City has partnered with Caleb’s Cause Foundation for the month of June to host a Diaper Drive at all 16 Greater Oklahoma City YMCA branch locations to collect diapers for Oklahoma children in need. Locations include all metro area branches, including OKC and Edmond and extend as far north as Guthrie and Stillwater and as far southwest as Chickasha. For a complete list of drop off locations, please visit ymcaokc.org/locations. Everyone is welcome to drop off unopened packages of diapers to the box located in the lobby of
each YMCA branch location during regular business hours. The box will display Caleb’s Cause Foundation’s information on it and unopened packages of diapers of all sizes and brands will be accepted, however, sizes 4, 5 and 6 are suggested due to the greater need in Oklahoma. Diaper Drive boxes will be available from June 1–30. Caleb’s Cause Foundation will distribute all donated diapers to various pantries and resource centers around the state to serve Oklahoma children and families in need. “YMCA has a long history of strengthening communities through various causes,” said
YMCA VP of Communications Rachel Klein. “Caleb’s Cause Foundation struck us as a vital resource for young families and we want to help support by giving our members and community the opportunity to get involved and show kids how to help other kids within our own neighborhoods.” Caleb's Cause Foundation is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization created to allow children of all ages to be able to serve local children in need by providing diapers to thousands of Oklahoma children each year in an effort to stop child abuse. Founded in 2012 by Marcie Hines and her young son
Caleb as a way to get involved in the community, they discovered there were limited opportunities for children to serve other children. Through their research, they discovered that a lack of diapers is one of the leading causes of child abuse. There are currently no state programs that cover the cost of diapers, a necessity for all children. Through prayer and guidance, Caleb's Cause Foundation was created; to allow children to serve and be served. For more information on how to help or to host a diaper drive at your business, visit calebscausefoundation.org.

A day of fear and thanksgiving By Daris Howard Guest Columnist On Saturday, June 5, 1976, my younger sister came running out to where I was fixing a fence our cows had broken down. It was lunchtime, and I thought she might be coming to call me to come eat. But I quickly realized by the way she was running that something was wrong. “Daris,” she said, panting, her voice sounding panicked, “the radio said the Teton Dam broke and that St. Anthony has been destroyed!” My parents and the rest of my brothers and sisters were in St. Anthony. I threw down my tools and raced back to the house. “What do we do?” she asked. I decided we should try to call my father at his office. I called and he answered calmly. “Dad, the radio said the Teton Dam broke and St. Anthony is under water!” I said. He laughed. “I can tell you that I’m not treading water. I haven’t seen or heard anything, but I’ll check and learn what I can and call you back.” I waited for a while as we continued to listen to the radio. Dad didn’t call, so after some time, I tried to call him again. This time the phone was dead. My mind raced, trying to think of anything I could do. But just then, the radio announced that they were wrong and the water had not touched St. Anthony but had cut
through Wilford and turned toward Sugar City and Rexburg. I had a lot of friends living in those areas, and my relief about the security of St. Anthony was quickly replaced by the fear of a possible loss of friends. Suddenly the power went out. I searched desperately for a radio that ran on batteries but could not find one. Not knowing what was going on made us imagine the worst and that was far worse than any bad news could be. My sister and I needed to know what was happening. Finally, I remembered that our old hay truck had a radio. I retrieved the key from a key hook, we made our way to the truck, and I turned on the radio. We listened as KRXK continued to report the news. That station was in Rexburg, right in the main path of the flood waters. Still, they kept broadcasting, apparently with backup generators, until the last minute when they reported they were fleeing for safety on the Rexburg hill. When the station went dead, I quickly turned the dial. Other stations were reporting the news, but what one would say would contradict the news from another. A measure of relief swept over us when our mother and our brothers and sisters drove into the yard in our old car. Still, we didn’t know where Dad was and those arriving didn’t know either. We sat in the old car most of the afternoon, listening to the
radio. As evening came, my dad drove into the yard, followed by another car. Dad announced that we would have another family whose home had been destroyed, staying with us for a few months. As the other family climbed from their car, we counted seven young children along with the two parents. They, with the 10 of our family who were still living at home, would make a full house. We teenage boys spent the next few hours moving our belongings to the basement so the new family could have our rooms. The living room would be the boys’ bedroom and we would spend the summer sleeping on the living room floor. We worked to rig a backup generator to be able to milk our cows and then worked until after dark to finish chores. The last news we heard that evening as we prepared for bed was that even though people were still missing, the number was small, and most people were accounted for. As our two families knelt together before going to bed, even though there was a daunting task of rebuilding ahead of everyone in that valley, all we could think of was our gratitude that there was very little loss of life and that our families were safe. We realized that nothing else really mattered.

‘We can’t just throw people away’
W
e cannot afford to throw these people away.” Sue Arnall said about non-violent criminals who are released from prison because they have served their time or laws have changed. Two of the city’s leading Criminal Justice advocates Arnall and Judge Cindy Truong discussed the problems and limitations a prison record creates when the people try to re-enter society, at The Education and Employment Ministry (TEEM) luncheon. We could not agree more. The TEEM program gives “a hand up to individuals re-entering society with educational preparation, social services, and job training and placement.” Education tops our list because a high percentage of prison populations cannot read. In our current high tech age, even manual labor
jobs require the ability to read. Social services provide a subsistence living and food, while former inmates improve their skills. TEEM has always provided job training and placement since Doc Benson founded it over 30 years ago. However, his focus centered on men with alcohol and drug addiction instead of persons being released from prison. During a recent luncheon to raise money for its current capital campaign, TEEM Executive Director Kris Steele said a prison record makes it extremely difficult to find employment and frequently housing. Non-violent criminal offenders often have their lives ruined for a single mistake they made when they were young. The recent changes in Oklahoma’s marijuana
laws decriminalizing use and doing away with some mandatory drug possession sentences will help, but too many people have already had their lives ruined. Judge Truong spoke about Own Recognizance Bonding. Warrants are issued for unpaid traffic violations just like any other crime. The person cannot pay the ticket and ends up in jail. They don’t have the money to make bail and lose their job. That’s how we make violent criminals out of non-violent poor people. Truong prefers OR bonds and requires the TEEM program for anyone on one. Vengeance is not justice. We desperately need to educate and rehabilitate so many people and fix the system which puts them in jail for 18 months or more for a traffic ticket.
Oklahoma County Jail Trust become a reality The Jail Trust is finally a reality! The Board of County Commissioners made a historic vote on May 22nd to create the Trust for Oklahoma County. Numerous citizen groups have asked for citizen oversight for over 24 years, and their voices were finally heard. I will be one of the two elected officials alongside Sheriff Taylor. The three District nominations are Francie Ekwerekwu, (District 1) Ben Brown, (District 2) and Todd Lamb (District 3). The other four citizen spots will be held by Jim Couch, MT Berry, Tricia Everest, and Sue Ann Arnall. The County has excellent citizen leadership, and the Trustees necessary to see reform occur. I give a special thanks to Commissioners Maughan for his long-time public stand for a jail trust, as well as all those who contributed, including the Criminal Justice Advisory Council, Bond Counsel John Michael Williams and Nate Ellis, Commissioner Blumert, and Presiding Judge Tom Prince.

The Trust will release a Request For Proposal (RFP) no later than October for management of the jail, so planning will be another immediate priority.

Unique music festival honoring homeless Americana music maestro Kyle Dillingham, known to many as Oklahoma’s Official Musical Ambassador, is once again earning his right to be referred to as such. The globetrotting, fiddling maestro from Enid has announced his cofounding and launching of a free charitable music concert and festival in honor of the homeless on June 12, 6-9 p.m. at Myriad Botanical Gardens. Spawned by a fortuitous Valentine’s Day encounter between Dillingham and Eddie Monarch, a homeless man in Oklahoma City, the festival is aptly named ‘Reddened Monarch Music Festival - Honoring OKC’s Homeless.’ The meeting left Dillingham inspired by Monarch’s idea of creating a music festival for the homeless, so he is making it a reality. “Eddie told me, ‘You could put on a big concert downtown for all the homeless in OKC, and everyone else could come too. Then we would all be down there enjoying the music together,’” Dillingham commented on his encounter with Eddie Monarch. “That thought gave
me chills, and I knew we had to do this. As Eddie walked away that day, he turned back around and said to me, ‘you know Kyle, you and I, we are already friends.’” Once Dillingham began to pitch the idea of the festival’s creation, he quickly gained the support from Oklahoma City’s Mayor David Holt, whose office just recently announced the formation of the Mayor’s Task Force on Homelessness, charged with developing a new unified vision for OKC as it relates to this important issue. “Kyle Dillingham has a remarkable heart for people, especially the people of Oklahoma City,” said Mayor David Holt. “I am grateful for his vision in working with Eddie Monarch to launch this special new event. I’m very supportive of the Reddened Monarch Music Festival and I’m excited for the support and awareness this will provide to the issue of homelessness in our community.” Festival co-founder Kyle Dillingham along with Horseshoe Road
band-mates Peter Markes and Brent Saulsbury, will headline the concert, with additional support from Will Carl Gaines, The Odds, Jabee and Jynxx. The 405 Center, a 501(c)3 non-profit community outreach organization, will serve as the festival’s primary beneficiary for donations, although admission to the family-friendly festival is free. Donations may be made via the Clover Give App. A plated dinner will be served to all the homeless by volunteers and food truck vendors will be on site for the general public. More information is available online at OKsessions.com/redmonarch or at the Facebook event page.
