There she is, Miss America Jane has another title — cancer survivor By Mark Beutler Special to OKC FRIDAY Jane Jayroe was in disbelief when she heard the announcer call her name. The young girl from rural Laverne, Okla., was standing on stage in Atlantic City as Bert Parks began the first few bars of an old familiar song. “There she is, Miss America,” Parks crooned. The image flickered on black and white television sets across the country as Jayroe accepted the crown and took her first steps as Miss America 1967. “A wave of emotions swept over me,” Jayroe said. “The audience rose to its feet, while what seemed like flashes from a thousand

unreal. Here I was, this shy, 19-year-old girl from Oklahoma and I had just been given one of the most recognizable titles in the world!” Jayroe spent the next year traveling in a whirlwind of public appearances, which included entertaining the troops in Vietnam. The schedule was grueling but paved the way for the bright future that lay ahead. She finished her reign as Miss America, and then continued her education at Oklahoma City University. Her career led her to Dallas where she was news anchor for KXAS-TV before moving home to Oklahoma City, where she worked as

Putnam City students and parents can now report bullying anonymously to site administrators by using the new Stop It app. The district’s Task Force on Hazing Prevention, led by Executive Director of Secondary Education Rick Croslin, created the initiative for the Stop It app. Administrators can follow up with additional questions to investigate reports while students and/or parents remain anonymous — unless they choose to identify who they are — throughout the process. The administrator who received the report can have a text conversation with the reporting party. Everything is web-based so there is no phone number involved, Croslin said. The app can be downloaded to a smartphone, tablet or other device. The Stop It app has been downloaded to all school iPads, thus if students don’t have a device of their own, they will still have access, he said. Students can use a designated access code for the site and parents can view the See APP, Page 2

FRIDAY’s Village Animal Shelter
Rescue Dog of the Week Cactus Jack is an exuberant guy who would let you throw the ball as much as you want. He is good with other dogs, loves all people, but at 68 pounds might overwhelm little tykes. He is a boxer/hound mix and is neutered, has all shots and is heartworm negative. He is ready for your cool floor. Cactus Jack loves to go on walks, but more than anything loves to be loved on. He is The Village Animal Shelter’s long-termer at 3-and-a-half months.

APP From Page 1 report and all associated information. Croslin cited other benefits of using the app: • It gives students and parents a quick, easy and anonymous way to report a concern — such as, in addition to bullying, harassment, suicidal ideations, etc. — that they might have at any time. • All reports go directly to an administrator to review and they begin investigating almost immediately. • The app allows for two-way communication between the “reporter” and the administrator. Questions can
be asked for additional information. • Parents are able to review all reports and communication that involves their student by simply looking at the app on their student’s device. • From the app, students and/or parents can call 911 and get information about the National Suicide Hotline should they need assistance immediately. Superintendent Dr. Fred Rhodes said the Putnam City School District is continually seeking ways to empower students in order to sustain a safe learning environment for all. “Anonymity, parental access, and direct, protected communication with an administrator are a few of many benefits of giving students this tool, ” he said.

FOOTBALL | WEEK 0 ROUNDUP
St. Mark’s too much for Casady in opener By Jason Jewell Sports Editor Last February, Casady football coach Koby Scoville noticed an athletic soccer player running across the field and hoped to convince him to come out for football. It worked and six months later, that soccer player Luke Foster
made his first career start at running back. The senior rushed for 51 yards and fellow senior Christian Owen added 56 yards to lead the Cyclones in a 44-13 season-opening loss to Dallas-St. Mark’s last Friday at Hoot Gibson Field. “He’s a tough, talented kid,” Scoville said of Foster. “He and Christian (Owen) did a great job tonight. They’re both different kinds of runners and share the load with each other.” Quarterback Denver Wilson threw for 174 yards and two touchdowns for Casady (0-1). The junior connected with Caleb Campbell for a 6-yard touchdown in the first quarter and ended the game with a 10-yard strike to Lennard Keuhl with 1:16 left in the fourth quarter. “We’ve got a lot to work on and get better,” Scoville said. “But I love our attitude and was very pleased with the physicality that our guys played with tonight.”

KNIGHTS ROUT COMMUNITY Scoring on six different possessions in the first three quarters, Crossings Christian cruised to a 38-21 victory over Community Christian last Friday night at Knights Stadium. Quarterback Owen Crotts threw for 210 yards and four touchdowns for the Knights (0-1). The junior hit Hunter Johnson with a pair of touchdown passes in the first quarter, covering four
and 23 yards, respectively. Crotts connected with Johnson a third time on a 27 yard TD to open the third quarter, and threw a 78-yard bomb to Jonah Mahen to end the quarter. Sandwiched between the TD passes was Jacob Snyder’s 45-yard TD run. Kicker Matthew Jolliff also belted a 28yard field goal in the second quarter, while also connecting on three extra-point attempts.

New school year brings support to young children Educare Oklahoma City, a program of Sunbeam Family Services, kicked off the new school year last month by celebrating students, families and teachers. This year, more than 170 at-risk children, from birth to five, will learn the skills necessary to help them thrive. “Sunbeam is a leader in early care and education. Children who are not prepared to start school at age 5 are at risk of never catching up, leaving an achievement gap that can persist throughout their entire lives,” said Paula Gates, director of Early Childhood Services at Sunbeam. “To help children and families thrive in our community, Sunbeam provides opportunities for families who might normally have
difficulty in accessing high quality early learning and care programs.” Sunbeam is committed to helping children develop strong social skills including self-confidence and emerge better prepared for kindergarten. By nurturing early learning, Sunbeam, and its community partners and their families, work together to achieve the achievement gap for central Oklahoma children. Families are essential to the success of the child. Through Sunbeam’s Early Childhood Services, each family has a dedicated family advocate who actively helps problem solve, locate resources within the community and achieve child and family goals. Families are also invited to volunteer with classrooms
and are encouraged to apply for employment opportunities. This holistic approach addresses the needs of the entire family, including the personal and professional goals of the parent. “We would like to thank our amazing teachers, who make an impact in young children’s lives every day through their high-quality instruction and care,” said Paula Gates, director of early childhood services at Sunbeam. “Our team is expanding and if you’re looking for a way to make a very personal impact in the community of Oklahoma City, Sunbeam is the place you need to be.” Sunbeam is still in need of 50 early childhood professionals to
help children thrive this school year. The nonprofit is an employeefirst organization where employees are valued, respected and encouraged to grow. That’s one of the many reasons Sunbeam was voted ad one of Oklahoma’s ‘Best Places to Work’ for the fifth year in a row. Sunbeam is proud to be recognized as a 2019 Family Positive Workplace by the Potts Family Foundation and the OK25by25 Coalition. This award recognizes businesses throughout the state who intentionally help their employees balance work and family responsibilities.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR:
You can easily make a difference Dear Editor, Readers of OKC FRIDAY are people who can make the greatest difference in protecting the environment for future generations. Every religious denomination has strong statements encouraging families and society to take steps toward harmony with Creation. Every little bit helps. Choosing highly efficient LED light bulbs is an easy one. Curbside recycling conserves resources, saves energy, reduces pollution and
extends landfill life. Many hybrid cars get 50 MPG or better, and all-electric cars are even more energyefficient. FRIDAY homes are probably well insulated, but insulation and double-pane windows cut energy use dramatically. Oklahoma’s amazing wind and solar energy potential guarantees a bright future in production of electricity. Still, some 40% of our electricity is produced with coal from Idaho. Oklahoma could become a world center for clean
energy production. This generation is realizing the threats to earth’s life-support systems from human population growth and our expanding need for agriculture and living space. Our grandchildren and beyond need all of us to do our parts to leave them a healthy planet to live on. Nathaniel Batchelder (The author holds a Biology degree from Oklahoma City University and was Education & Publicity Director at the Oklahoma City Zoo from 1974 to 1982.)
Finishing up as County board chairman My last meeting as chairman of the Board of County Commissioners was August the 28th, concluding a productive first summer as a County Commissioner. Just two weeks after assuming the chair in May, Oklahoma County made history by voting to pass a Jail Trust. At the same meeting, Commissioner Maughan nominated me to serve as a trustee on the newly formed body. This was a monumental step towards criminal justice reform, one that has been demanded for decades. However, this was one of many highlights from our meetings. The first segment of my time as chair saw the end of the budget season. As chairman of the BOCC, I also was the chair of the Budget Board. We successfully passed our budget for the next fiscal year in June. We also received an excellent report on the state of the County from Larry Stein, the County Assessor. Aside from the usual business renewing contracts and agreements for the next fiscal year, the BOCC has made sure to distinguish important figures in the community throughout the last several months. In June, the County recognized “navy days” to honor those serving in the Navy and their families, a resolution brought forward by Commissioner Maughan. The Allied Arts giving campaign was recognized by the County Assessor that same month. At our last

JANE
Jayroe announces lineup for 16th Esther Women
From Page 1 prime-time anchor for both KFOR-TV and KOCO-TV. In 1999, she ventured into public service and held the cabinet position Secretary of Tourism and Recreation until 2003. But for all her titles and accolades, Jayroe holds one more title and that is cancer survivor. “I have always been very faithful about having the medical checkups that are recommended,” she says. “As a result, I went in for regular breast exams but in 2003 I was very surprised. One of the spots my doctor had been watching for years was different. We checked it out, and the result was a very early breast cancer diagnosis.” It was fortunate, Jayroe says, that the cancer was caught early. “To hear the word ‘cancer’ was terrifying,” she said. “I didn’t think of death, but I did think of months of chemotherapy and being sick. I was so scared. As it turned out, I had a lumpectomy.” A few years went by and life was good, but in 2007 Jayroe was diagnosed again with cancer — this time it was uterine. “It took a long time to get that diagnosis,” she says, “which was really frightening to me because I had symptoms for more than six months before I had the diagnosis. I had a full hysterectomy with additional lymph nodes removed. The surgery was on a Tuesday and the test results came back on Friday…actually, Friday the 13th! Lymph nodes were clear, no follow-up treatment was needed.” During her journey, Jayroe says what helped most was her faith. “It was everything to me,” she said. “My faith was the rock upon which I stood. It was the Hand that held mine. It was the Light when my night was dark. And having a community of support like the American Cancer Society is so important. Cancer can be such a lonely fight and such a life-altering experience. To have help in those practical ways is really crucial.” Today Jayroe is a best-selling author, helping others find their way on whatever path their life takes them. Her most recent book, “Practice: Unleashing the Power of Faith,” was released in 2018. “My words to those who are going through a cancer journey is first, try not to jump into the pool of fear,” she says. “Instead, lean into faith. With the internet, it’s good to have information and learn about things but I don’t think it’s helpful to start thinking the worst scenario when you don’t have all the information. Take someone with you to appointments if possible and start gathering facts, not fear.” Using the ACS helpline and website is a good place to start. {1-800-227-2345 or www.cancer.org} It also helps, she says to be around people who are hopeful and positive. “After my diagnosis it seemed everyone wanted to share the story of their friend or family member who died and who had such an awful journey,” Jayroe said. “I realized how terrifying that was for me. So, I reached out to friends who had survived cancer and asked to hear their stories. I was suddenly encouraged! I bought books that told stories of cancer survivors and

how they focused and worked hard during their time of treatment.” Coming from a strong faith-based community and upbringing, Jayroe turned to the scriptures for inspiration, and found a favorite: “The Lord is my strength and shield. My heart trusts in Him and I am helped.” Psalm 28:7 “When I was recovering at home after the uterine cancer, I started walking in the backyard and I would say this scripture out loud repeatedly,” Jayroe said. “I claimed it. I was indeed helped!” At age 72, the former Miss America lives a peaceful life surrounded by friends and family, her husband Gerry and faithful pup Maggie, and all around her are mementos of a life well-lived. “Age has brought me to this statement,” Jayroe says. “‘All of us will die, but not everyone will live fully until then.’ That is my goal; I want to live with gratitude, joy and purpose for as long as I can. Hard times come to everyone and something will take us down. But there really is a lot of beauty in the world if we have eyes to see and ears to hear it” This summer, Jayroe got to hold the newest member of the family, baby Henry who was 12 weeks old. “When I held him close while he was sleeping, our hearts kind of beat together” she said with a smile. “It was awesome. And nature gives me peace, too. I don’t have a green thumb but last spring, just outside my backdoor, roses grew up the wall. Their perfection left me in awe. And this summer I sat outside in the mountains with friends and heard music that was so powerful and then so tender, I was moved to tears. While I try to find purpose and serve God and my neighbor, I’ll accept the gifts given that give life joy and meaning, and I will be grateful. Those are my words to others who are on their own cancer journey, and I wish for them many blessings.”
What began as an idea for one six-week session by founder, Jane Jayroe, is now beginning its 16th year for Oklahoma women. Esther Women is a nondenominational Christian luncheon series for those seeking inspiration, friendship, and personal faith development. This season the speakers include one of the most respected and awarded broadcast journalist in America, Scott Pelley. Also, a highlight will be the nationally acclaimed singer, Wintley Phipps, who has performed for six Presidents. Oklahoma speakers will round out the year with stories of faith learned from tragedy, from difficult family struggles, from demanding careers, and from our heritage. Every luncheon experience is designed to encourage, inspire, and strengthen our relationship with God and each other. Music is provided by Oklahoma City University. “Hundreds of women from throughout Oklahoma continue to be drawn together to be reminded that their lives have a divine purpose,” Jayroe said. “Indeed, like Queen Esther, we have all been created for ‘such a times as this.’” The schedule for 2019-20 is as follows: • Oct. 2: First Lady of Oklahoma, Sarah Stitt, brings a powerful personal story to her role as First Lady. Stitt, mother of six, plans to use her position as First Lady to advocate for those suffering from mental health issues and adverse childhood situations. • Nov. 6: The luncheon features one of America’s most decorated journalist, Scott Pelley. As a “60 Minutes” correspondent and former anchor of the “CBS Evening News,” Scott has an inside look at the stories of our time and the concerns for today. Scott is the author of a new memoir, “Truth Worth Telling: A Reporter’s Search for Meaning in the Stories of Our Times.” • Dec. 4: Wintley Phipps is a world-renowned vocal artist, motivational speaker, pastor and education activist. Sponsored by Mo Anderson, Phipps is the founder of the US Dream Academy, a national after school program that aims to break the cycle of intergenerational incarceration. • Jan. 8: Oklahoma’s Nancy Miller is a successful television producer and writer is best known for her creation of the television series, “Saving Grace,” which starred Holly Hunter. This was the fourth original series created by Miller. • Feb. 5: Caleb Freeman, a young Oklahoma boy, his family and film producer Kevin McAfee will tell their story of tragedy and triumph which is a journey of amazing faith. • March 4: Scott Stearman celebrates a Christian arts experience. A professional sculptor, Scott shares his spiritual story while demonstrating his art, live, with his audience. • April 1: Esther Women will host a call to remembrance of the bombing in Oklahoma City, 25 years ago. Through personal experiences, we will visit the reasons to remember and ask how we are changed by tragic circumstances? • May 6: The Esther Award will be presented to a woman of courage within the OKC community. Speaking to the courage of one of our own spiritual sisters who has overcome giant obstacles and her own journey is author, Catherine Zoller. Esther Women meets 1:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Christian Life Center at St. Luke’s United Methodist Church on NW 14th Street. Ample parking is available. The cost for the season of nine speakers and lunches is $225. The season pass is transferrable. Due to the high demand for tickets, there is also an online option that includes video of every program plus the Christmas concert in person for $50.

LEADERS From Page 1 Fame and serve on a Second Century committee, such as a social or development committee. Another requirement of board membership is volunteer service, which can be done individually but more often occurs with the group. Board members are encouraged to help set up for the annual Oklahoma Hall of Fame induction as well as other events throughout the year. Second Century’s biggest event of the year is Oklahoma Born and Brewed, a craft beer tasting event featuring breweries from all over the state. The event has occurred for the past five years, and Impson said it has grown significantly more successful, more than doubling its profits that have been donated to the museum. “Oklahoma’s craft brew scene has really blown up,” he said. “The brewers have been instrumental in Born and Brewed’s success.” The board also has outreach and networking events throughout the year, many of them featuring members of the Oklahoma Hall of Fame. “We have outreach events showcasing Hall of Fame members, and they tell us how they got to where they are,” Impson said. “We try to invite as many young professionals as possible. Events like these give you access to great Oklahomans that you might not otherwise get to meet.” The Second Century board credits much of its success to the support of the Hall of Fame staff. “The staff at the Hall of Fame is topnotch,” Impson said. “They are always taking care of us, pushing us to do bigger and better things.” Second Century applications are open to people from across the state, although the required meeting attendance means most members are from the Oklahoma City metro. Those who are unable to join the board are welcome to attend its events. Applications for the Second Century board are available online each spring and are evaluated by a selection committee.

Random acts of goodnes can really make someone’s day D on’t random acts of goodness just make you happy? We had dinner at Red Lobster the other night, as I had a gift card from a FRIDAY Christmas gift exchange. This, being the only usable thing I’ve ever traded for, as usually it’s elf slippers or the one ofa-kind set of cheesy glassware (thank you Rose) collected from random events. Anyway, in my line of sight was a young cute couple who were probably on a “date night.” Completing her dinner, the young lady carefully boxed up the leftovers from her plate and her companion’s. The lid didn’t engage and her shrimp, rice and veggies went plunk onto the carpet. Throwing her hands over her face, she looked to be in tears. Whether this was embarrassment – or the image that all that good food she’d planned for tomorrow night’s dinner was wasted – I don’t know. Quickly she started wiping up the mess, but close on her heels was the waitstaff with rags and carpet spray. Not wanting to embarrass her further, I went back to my caveman attack on dinner. Next thing I saw, she was gratefully walking away with two Styrofoam containers. Our waitress appeared and I mentioned how graciously the staff had handled the situation and said that the young lady seemed so distraught. She said, “Yes, we boxed up another order of her dinner for her to take home.” Now, THAT is so kind and such incredible customer service.
•“You want a what?” I asked my mother-in-law. “A cute kitten, not a cat, a KITTEN,” she insisted. You don’t tell a 105-year-old, “No.” She’d just read an article that people live longer if they have pets ... Figuring her kids would bring reason into this, I tattled to her daughters. They called her and said that she couldn’t have a kitten. She called the animal rescue and was arranging transportation when I came on the scene. Again, you don’t tell a 105-yearold, “No.” Picking her up and folding her walker, I put one in the front seat and one in the trunk. Arriving at ARF in Nichols Hills, I reversed the process. But I added a cat cage to that. There must have been 15 black/grey alley cat types, all mewing, “Notice me, notice me!” All precious balls of fur with big eyes, she held each and one pawed her face and purred. Sold! I thought they would call me out on getting a kitty for such a senior citizen, but they were most obliging, and after eight pages of paperwork, this one was hers — even though she thankfully couldn’t produce a current driver’s license. “Cheops” had no accessories, so a pet store was next on the agenda. Parking in front, I again extracted the walker, the
mother-in-law and got them going, then my big summer purse and the angry kitty in the cage. Understandably, Mozelle was tired, so she sat on her walker and as it wasn’t designed for travel, the wheels weren’t cooperative and as I pushed her a foot, she veered into the hamster cages, then I’d pull the basket with the kitty cage, meowing kitty and purse another foot and we’d veer crookedly into the parakeet toys, then a random foray into the dog food sacks. After 15 minutes and about four feet of progress, I called in reinforcements. “Jerry (my husband and son of Mozelle), get here NOW!” Fun-loving Mozelle merrily tossed cat toys, a pink harness and leash and blankets into the basket while I picked up the necessities of litter box, food, liners, etc. This was a boy kitty, but they only had a pink harness in size itsy bitsy – so don’t even mention that to him. A harness? A LEASH? For a cat? Kitty got the golden ticket – all the good stuff – even I wanted to play with the tunnel with the jingly toys at the exit. Returned everyone to Mozelle’s apartment and got a dog crate set up to contain kitty when Mozelle went for meals, the litter in the box, a kitty buffet and feathery, musical and mobile toys everywhere. Cheops thought he was in Disneyland. Everyone lived through the night, including me — at home — having done battle with a bottle of

wine. Refusing, the next day, the idiocy of putting a harness on a kitten, I sat tight. Jerry adjusted and tightened and Cheops didn’t notice as there was a feather toy with a bell that he felt needed pouncing upon. Now 10 days later, my delighted and delightful mother-in-
law has been walking her kitty on a leash, while she is on her walker — down the hallways. I give in — this has brought such joy to her and Cheops just grins that Cheshire cat smile from his perch in the sink watching this wonderful water feature come out of the faucet. • A word of praise
to Jim Bruce who was instrumental in bringing the art exhibition “Between the Isms” to the Fred Jones Museum on OU’s campus. Jim is respected as a banker, an individual and an artist. The show hangs until the first part of September, spend a hot summer day in this cool museum!

PUBLIC NOTICE How much do public notices cost? The Oklahoma Legislature sets a rate, which is typically much lower than other newspaper ad rates, so the cost of notices can be controlled, and exact wording – rather than a summary – printed. The public is well-served by notices published in a community newspaper.
