34 FALL PEACE FESTIVAL th
Saturday, November 10, 2018
Oklahoma City’s 34th Fall Peace Festival will be held Saturday, November 10th, in the Hall of Mirrors at the Civic Center Music Hall, organizers say. Director of the Peace House Nathaniel Batchelder said the theme of the event is “Everything for the Common Good.” From 10 am to 4 pm that day, every aspect of the Festival will reflect the theme. Visitors to the free event will find 60 tables offering information about Oklahoma groups working in social justice, human service, human rights and environmental sustainability. “Almost every group sells their organization’s books, calendars, fair trade goods, t-shirts, bumper stickers or other things related to their mission,” Batchelder said. “The Festival is a holiday shopping bonanza for Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanzaa, winter solstice or other mid-winter celebrations.” Live music from the stage sets the tone. Performances by local talents Steve McLinn and Jahruba include peaceful folk, reggae, Latino and African interpretations. Ali Soltani plays Middle Eastern music on the oud. Folk singer D.Ray Polk, familiar in the local music scene, offers traditional folk songs. Two Oklahoma-based nonprofits sell hand-crafted and imported fair trade goods funding educational projects in Africa. “Pambe Ghana” and “Out of Africa” are popular Festival participants offering exotic carving, pottery, jewelry, fabrics and clothing. Sierra Club, Peace House and Oklahoma Sustainability Network are three groups offering ways to support ecological efforts and address global warming challenges. The Peace Festival is a family event including an adult-supervised Children’s Activity Room adjacent to the Festival hall offering poster-making, arts & crafts, and nonviolent games. Cosponsors of the Festival with the Peace House are Home Creations, the Bob Lemon family, Dr. David Brinker MD, Social Justice Committees of the Church of the Open Arms and First Unitarian Church, Oklahoma Observer, Oklahoma Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty and Lt. Col. (Ret) Henry David Thornton. More information is on the website www.PeaceHouseOK.org.

43rd Annual Wewoka Sorghum Festival to be Held Oct. 27 “How Sweet It Is!,” The 43rd annual Wewoka Sorghum Festival, will take place on Saturday, Oct. 27 in downtown Wewoka and at the Seminole Nation Museum, located at 524 S. Wewoka Ave., Wewoka. The family-friendly Festival is free and open to the public. In addition to the traditional sorghum festivities on the museum grounds (including historic re-enactors, stickball games, Native American foods, and children’s crafts & storytelling), the museum will host a number of Native American and pioneer craftsmen inside the museum for the public’s enjoyment. The museum is also proud to host a national traveling exhibition, “Life in the Etowah River Valley,” which showcases the vibrant southeastern Mississippian culture that is the predecessor of Oklahoma’s famed Five Tribes – the Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Muscogee (Creek) and Seminole. The museum grounds are also hosting performances of traditional Seminole and Creek hymns by a Native choir, Native American flute music, and contemporary music by singer Ben Yahola and musicians Rich and Rusty Ferrell. Downtown, festival-goers will enjoy an array of entertainment, shopping and more, including the 10 a.m. parade. An art & photography show will host over a hundred works of art for the public to enjoy. More than 100 craft, vendor, and food booths will be available to tempt your eyes and stomach. The downtown entertainment stage will feature an all-day array of country & western, western swing, bluegrass, and newgrass music. Historical programing on the museum grounds includes sorghum cooking demonstrations, a working mule-powered sorghum mill, antique tractors and farm implements and blacksmithing demonstrations. Living history demonstrations feature lye soap making, spinning wheel demonstrations, basket weaving, mask making and more. We are also looking forward to several Native American artists who will demonstrate, jewelry making and beadwork. Some will have items for sale on site. We are honored once again with the presence of Albert Gray Eagle performing Native American flute music and teaching cane-flute making, Al Bostick with new creative art projects for kids, and Cherokee National Treasure Noel Grayson. These guest artists are sponsored in part by the Oklahoma Arts Council and the Oklahoma Humanities Council. The Festival features a free children’s area on the museum grounds with make-it and take-it crafts and cultural activities. Admission to the Seminole Nation Museum is free, and our unique gift shop will be open for business. Traditional Indian Tacos are a favorite at the festival, so plan your lunch to include the Taco Booth on the museum grounds. For more information about festival events at the Seminole Nation Museum, contact Richard Ellwanger at 405-257-5580.

Oklahoma History Center Welcomes “The Sound of Music” Traveling Troupe on November 1 OKLAHOMA CITY — The Oklahoma History Center (OHC) will host a performance from a traveling theatrical troupe currently touring with a production of the Rodgers & Hammerstein hit “The Sound of Music” on Thursday, November 1, at 9 a.m. Cast members will perform various selections on the stage in the “Rodgers & Hammerstein’s ‘Oklahoma!’: The Birth of Modern Musical Theatre and a New Image for the State” exhibit gallery in the Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation Gallery at the OHC. This event is open to the public and free of charge, and attendees will receive a $2 discount coupon to the annual holiday sale at the History Center Museum Store. The troupe, representing NETworks Presentations®, will be in the metro with two performances at Oklahoma City Community College on November 2 and 3. “Rodgers & Hammerstein and the state of Oklahoma have enjoyed a long and prosperous relationship, which continues to this day,” said Ted Chapin, president of the Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization. “Having both the extraordinary exhibit on the musical that bears the state’s name—which includes Oscar Hammerstein’s standing desk, at which he wrote all his shows, exhibited for the first time—and the start of the new tour of ‘The Sound of Music’ just continues the collaboration. There is no reason why the lasting impact of the works of Rodgers & Hammerstein won’t continue—especially in the wonderful state of Oklahoma.” The Oklahoma History Center’s exhibit “Rodgers & Hammerstein’s ‘Oklahoma!’: The Birth of Modern Musical Theatre and a New Image for the State” celebrates the 75th anniversary of the Broadway production’s debut. The title of the OHC exhibit makes reference to a “New Image for the State.” In 1939 John Steinbeck published his Pulitzer Prize-winning
novel “The Grapes of Wrath,” a fictional account of the mass migration of thousands of “Okies” from Oklahoma to California in search of jobs, land, dignity and a future in the shadow of the Great Depression. The novel cast an image of hopelessness, bank foreclosures and economic hardship on Oklahoma. Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Oklahoma!” counteracted this image with its lively musical comedy that, despite a few fight scenes that include an accidental death, portrayed romance, laughter and a spirit of joy in direct contrast to the storyline of “The Grapes of Wrath.” NETworks Presentations is a theatrical production company with more than 20 years of experience in road productions of Broadway and West End musicals, offering financially sustainable shows in any size market to ensure that audiences anywhere may experience a night of Broadway theatre. The Oklahoma History Center is located at 800 Nazih Zuhdi Drive in Oklahoma City. It is open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, please visit www.okhistory.org/historycenter. The Oklahoma History Center is a division of the Oklahoma Historical Society and is an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution, National Archives and is an accredited member of the American Alliance of Museums. The mission of the Oklahoma Historical Society is to collect, preserve and share the history and culture of the state of Oklahoma. Founded in 1893 by members of the Territorial Press Association, the OHS maintains museums, historic sites and affiliates across the state.

Shawnee vs. Bixby By Adam Ewing
adam.ewing@news-star.com Twitter: @aethefranchise
For two and a half quarters last week Shawnee played some of its best football. Unfortunately they had to beat a good Sapulpa team, and those wearing pinstripes. The Wolves ended up losing 63-35 and were all but eliminated from the playoffs. This week Shawnee (2-6, 2-3) hits the road to face Bixby (7-1, 5-0) in arguably their toughest game of the season. Bixby is a team that handed Booker T. Washington a loss earlier in the district schedule. Last week, Heath Hunter threw for an area-high 426 yards. He set the highest passing total the previous week. The only downfall to the Sapulpa game was five interceptions. Hunter will need
news-star.com
to be efficient with the pigskin in order to keep pace with a very efficient Bixby squad. So far this season, Hunter has thrown for 1,530 yards, which is good enough for second in the area. Bixby's quarterback Mason Williams (sophomore) has thrown for 2,036 yards and completes 66 percent of his passes Williams has 22 touchdowns compared to just three interceptions on the season. Scout Cawvey inched his way towards the area lead in receiving yards with another breakout performance. Last week, Cawvey hauled in eight passes for 236 yards and two scores. The big game put him within 21 yards of the area lead. Trenton Skinner continues to impress playing receiver with a broken finger. Skinner's production has dipped since the injury but still ranks fourth in the area in yards (475). Cade Cavender is Bixby's playmaker on offense.
Heath Hunter (3)
The standout receiver has 602 yards receiving and 10 touchdowns while averaging 20 yards per reception. Bixby's other receiver, Brennan Presley, has 643 yards and three touchdowns. Shawnee's defensive backs will have their hands full with the duo. Tre'Juan Shaw has five games this season where he's rushed for two or more touchdowns. Shaw will need to score a few more this week if the Wolves want to keep pace with Bixby. On the season, Shaw has 589 yards and is tied for third in the area with 11 touchdowns. Bixby has a two-headed monster in the backfield with Braden Roller and Braylin Presley. Both backs have eight touchdowns apiece. Defensively, Elijah Powis led the team with 1.5 sacks last week. Hudson Davis leads the team with 3.5 sacks on the season. Jaylon Orange leads the team with three interceptions.

#NSPreps Area Game of the Week:
Tecumseh vs. McLoud By Adam Ewing
adam.ewing@news-star.com Twitter: @aethefranchise
With both teams all but eliminated from the playoffs, this game comes down to one thing, the rivalry. Tecumseh (3-5, 1-4) will head to McLoud (2-6, 1-4) with bragging rights on the line. Since Rusty Hall took over as the head coach at McLoud, the Redskins are 2-1 against the Savages. Tecumseh's second-year head coach Ty Bullock picked up his first win against McLoud last year in a 48-22 victory. The Redskins certainly have the advantage at the quarterback position with Koalton Keller under center. Keller's 13 passing touchdowns currently ranks him second in the area. With a decent performance Friday, he will go over the 1,000-yard mark through the air.
in this matchup. Tyler Jones currently ranks 10th in the area with 310 yards and four touchdowns. McLoud's second-leading receiver is Brandon Vinson with 192 yards and two touchdowns. Vinson is coming off his best game of the season and if the tight end can continue that production the last two weeks, McLoud's chances to end the season on a winning streak are much greater. Dylan Morris is having a respectable season after catching seven passes last season. So far in the 2018 campaign Morris has 13 receptions for 230 yards and three touchdowns. Jake Trice is the second-leading receiver for the Savages with 166 yards and two touchdowns. Defensively, McLoud is led by senior lineman Brandon Hadl. On the season, Hadl has recorded nine sacks and an interception. The Savages have a tackling machine in Tyler Bingham. With two games remaining, Bingham has 116 tackles, 9.5 sacks, one fumble recovery and two blocked kicks. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m.
Tecumseh struggles to throw the football but that's not their bread and butter. Will Hillton has 516 yards and six touchdowns on the season. Last week McLoud's Damien Dye was sick with the flu, yet he managed 191 yards on 24 carries. Pound-for-pound Dye is the toughest runner in the area. Over the next two games, Dye has a chance to go over 1,000 yards for the season. Currently he sits at 829 yards. Tecumseh has three backs capable of breaking off a ton of yards. Jaylen Walker leads the group with 571 yards and nine scores. Micah Boyce adds 400 yards and one score to the mix. Raymond Thomas has home run ability with 363 yards and six touchdowns. As a team, the Savages have rushed for over 1,900 yards and 22 touchdowns. Much like the passing game, McLoud's receivers have the advantage

Tulsa Webster (2-6, 1-4) at Seminole (6-2, 3-2) – 7:30 p.m.
After a four-week gauntlet, Seminole was lucky to come out with a win. Fortunately, the team managed a 2-2 record and is all but locked in for a playoff spot. Last week, Seminole pulled off a much needed victory over Checotah on the road. Quarterback Cade Hammond went over the 1,000-yard mark last week and is currently tied for second in the area with 13 passing touchdowns. Cameron Gunville continues to run away with the area lead in rushing. Gunville has 1,689 yards and 23 touchdowns on the season and with two games remaining, the junior has a solid chance at 2,000 yards. The Chieftains receiving duo of Saybion Battles and Chico Baker currently rank sixth and seventh in the area in receiving yards. Seminole has torched opponents for 30-plus points five times this season, while Tulsa Webster eclipsed that mark just twice. Seminole is 5-0 when scoring at least 30, while Webster is 1-1 in their games. Tulsa Webster runs a two-quarterback system. Deleon Johnson and Dominic Wallace have some success throwing the football, combining for 828 yards with eight touchdowns and eight interceptions. The quarterbacks for Webster also run the ball quite often totaling 818 yards and 10 scores. When Wallace isn't in the backfield he's catching passes for Webster. He leads the team with 249 yards receiving and three touchdowns. The key to beating Webster is to shut down these two athletes. Seminole and Tulsa Webster have both played Idabel, Checotah, Lincoln Christian and Roland. The Chieftains are 3-1 in those games while Tulsa Webster is 0-4.
Caden Wolford - Meeker Prague (5-3, 3-2) at Meeker (7-1, 4-1) – 7:30 p.m.
Jared Steward - Seminole
The Bulldogs look like a team ready for playoff competition as they host the Red Devils in a tough district game Friday evening. Meeker is a well-oiled machine on both sides of the football, as they've outscored their opponents 245-119. Meeker scored 30-plus points six times while Prague has done it once. The Bulldog's offense is led by Caden Wolford's 1,084 yards rushing and 13 touchdowns. Quarterback Jacob Martin continues to improve in the passing game and went over the 1,000-yard mark last week. On the season, Martin has 1,020 yards passing with seven touchdowns, along with 460 yards rushing and 11 scores. The only downfall to Martin's game is he's thrown 11 interceptions this season. Martin's receivers continue to impress. The trio is led by Dawson Stanberry's 463 yards and four touchdowns. Dakota Gabbert is second on the team with 290 yards and one touchdown. Last week, Jarrett Marks caught his first touchdown of the season and has totaled 176 yards. Prague's offense is Brayden McGinnis. The senior running back has 1,011 yards and 13 scores. If the Red Devils can get McGinnis rolling, they can keep the ball away from the Bulldog's powerful offense, control the clock and possibly pull off an upset.

Bethel (2-6, 1-4) at Marlow (4-4, 3-2) – 7 p.m.
Win or lose, this Wildcats squad is fun to watch. Last week, Bethel went to Douglass and hung a 50-spot on the home team. It was a much needed win this late in the season and was the first district win in the 2018 campaign. The Bethel offense is powered by Gunner Smith's arm. Last week, Smith broke two of his single-season school records (yards and completions). Over the next two weeks, he will more than likely break the record for touchdowns and attempts as he needs three scores and 65 attempts with eight quarters left to play. On the season, Smith has 1,900 yards and 21 touchdowns. Devin Acklin is another Wildcat with a chance to etch his name in the Bethel record books. Acklin is 14 receptions and 90 yards away from breaking the single-season records. On the year, Acklin has 710 yards and nine touchdowns. Matthew Melter continues to add to his school record 122 tackles. He set the mark a few weeks ago and has a chance at 150 tackles on the season. Bethel's kicking game is about as reliable as any in the state. Alex Brown has converted 27 of 31 extra points and two of four field goals. Watching him last week, it's apparent Brown can make any kick from the 35-yard line and in.
Devin Acklin - Bethel
Strother (4-4, 1-2) at Maud (3-5, 1-2) – 7:30 p.m.
Roman Cox - Maud
Maud's first-year starting quarterback Lane Brooks is having a respectable season. So far, he's totaled 1,054 yards and 12 touchdowns. His yardage currently ranks him third in the area. Brady Arms is a beast in the backfield and his 586 yards and seven touchdowns proves it. Roman Cox ranks ninth in the area with 335 yards and four touchdowns. For Strother, Jaxon Donthit has 962 yards passing with 14 touchdowns and nine interceptions. He's added 504 yards rushing and five scores. The key to beating Strother will be bottling up the signal caller. Maud is 3-0 when they score at least 30-points. Strother is 4-1 when eclipsing the 30-point mark. Both teams are capable of putting 50 on the board, so there should be a ton of scoring Friday night.
Henryetta (1-7, 0-5) at Chandler (3-5, 1-4) – 7 p.m.
The Lions should get their second district win this week when they host Henryetta. Chandler scored at least 30 points three times this season and is 2-1 in those games. Henryetta struggles defensively, as they've given up at least 30-points on seven occasions.
