OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLA., El viernes 17 de septiembre, la Asociación de Ganaderos de Oklahoma (OCA) se unió a una coalición de organizaciones que solicitan a la Directora de la Autoridad de Marihuana Medicinal de Oklahoma, Adria Berry, que adopte una moratoria temporal sobre la emisión de nuevos permisos de cultivadores de marihuana.

La carta dice: "Según el sitio web de la Autoridad de Marihuana Medicinal de Oklahoma (OMMA), hasta el 3 de septiembre, había 8,630 permisos de cultivadores emitidos en el estado de Oklahoma. Según el Censo Agrícola de 2017, esto supera el número de granjas de trigo de Oklahoma (6510), granjas de carne de cerdo (1906), granjas de soja (1750), granjas de algodón (808) y granjas lecheras (471)".

El vicepresidente ejecutivo de OCA, Michael Kelsey, compartió: "El recién nombrado director de OMMA Berry está haciendo un trabajo fantástico. Una pausa temporal le dará el tiempo que tanto necesita para poner al día al Departamento en temas de permisos de cultivadores, como contratar más inspectores, ponerse al día con las inspecciones y certificaciones mientras espera que el tribunal emita una decisión sobre la venta de semillas".

En julio, los miembros de OCA crearon una política integral y agresiva relacionada con el crecimiento invasivo de las casas de cultivo de marihuana en las zonas rurales de Oklahoma.

"Los números son simplemente abrumadores", dijo Kelsey. "En la próxima sesión legislativa, la política de OCA exige propuestas razonables y prácticas para modificar la ley estatal con respecto al cultivo de marihuana. Mientras tanto, una pausa temporal en los permisos de los productores sería apropiada y racional".

Se unieron a OCA en la carta la Asociación de Aviación Agrícola de Oklahoma, la Asociación de Productores de Lácteos de Oklahoma, la Asociación de Sheriffs de Oklahoma y la Asociación de Soja de Oklahoma.

La OCA es la voz de confianza de la industria ganadera de Oklahoma. OCA es la única voz que habla únicamente por los ganaderos de Oklahoma y representa a los productores de carne en los 77 condados de todo el estado. Los funcionarios, la junta directiva y la membresía de OCA lo alientan a unirse a nosotros en nuestros esfuerzos de defensa para garantizar una menor intervención del gobierno, impuestos más bajos y un mejor resultado final.

OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLA., On Friday, September 17, the Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association (OCA) joined a coalition of organizations requesting Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority Director Adria Berry to adopt a temporary moratorium on issuing new marijuana grower permits.

The letter states, “According to the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority’s (OMMA) website, as of September 3rd, there were 8,630 grower permits issued in the state of Oklahoma. According to the 2017 Agriculture Census, this exceeds the number of Oklahoma wheat farms (6510), pork farms (1906), soybean farms (1750), cotton farms (808) and dairy farms (471)!”

In July, OCA members created comprehensive and aggressive policy related to the invasive growth of marijuana grow houses in rural Oklahoma.

“The numbers are simply overwhelming,” Kelsey said. “In the upcoming legislative session, OCA policy calls for reasonable and practical proposals to modify state law regarding growing marijuana. In the meantime, a temporary pause in grower permits, would be appropriate and rational.”

Joining OCA on the letter were the Oklahoma Agricultural Aviation Association, Oklahoma Dairy Producers Association, Oklahoma Sheriffs’ Association, and the Oklahoma Soybean Association.

OCA Executive Vice President Michael Kelsey shared, “Newly appointed OMMA Director Berry is doing a fantastic job. A temporary pause will give her much needed time to bring the Department up to speed on grower permit issues such as hiring more inspectors, catch up with inspections and certifications while waiting for the court to issue a decision on seed-tosale.”

The OCA is the trusted voice of the Oklahoma Cattle Industry. OCA is the only voice that speaks solely for the cattlemen of Oklahoma and represents beef producers in all 77 counties across the state. The OCA officers, board of directors and membership encourages you to join us in our advocacy efforts to ensure less government intervention, lower taxes, and a better bottom line.

OKLAHOMA CITY – Movie lovers in Oklahoma City will join over 100,000 film enthusiasts around the world Sept. 24 - Oct. 3 when the 24th Annual MANHATTAN SHORT Film Festival – which bills itself as “The World’s First Global Film Festival” – screens in the Noble Theater at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art.

"The MANHATTAN SHORT Film Festival is a fun opportunity to join a global community of film lovers, while also supporting and celebrating a new generation of filmmakers and actors," said Lisa Broad, head of film programming and theatrical operations. "It is an incredibly unique festival in that each year’s winners are selected entirely by the audience. I am continually impressed by the quality of the program - many of the short films go on to be Oscar-nominated - and am looking forward to this year's screenings.”

This year’s Final Ten MANHATTAN SHORT finalists hail from eight countries with films from the U.K., Afghanistan, Northern Ireland, Norway, Italy and Canada, alongside two films each from France and USA. These Final Ten selections represent the best short films from among 970 submissions from 70 countries received by MANHATTAN SHORT for 2021, a testament to the enduring vibrancy and creativity of short films worldwide. All Final Ten short films will be eligible for Academy Award nominations.

The MANHATTAN SHORT finalists for 2021 are "Archibald's Syndrome" (Daniel Perez, France); "Aurora "(Jo Meuris, USA); "Bad Omen" (Salar Pashtoonyar, Afghanistan); "Closed to the Light" (Nicola Piovesan, Italy); "Death By Handshake" (Hudson Flynn, USA); "Ganef" (Mark Rosenblatt, UK); "The Kicksled Choir" (Torfinn Iversen, Norway); "Monsieur Cachemire" (Iouri Philippe Paillé, Canada); "Out of Time" (Delphine Montaigne, France); "Rough" (Adam Patterson & Declan Lawn, Northern Ireland).

The MANHATTAN SHORT Film Festival continues to be a showcase for new voices and perspectives. "Death By Handshake" director Hudson Flynn, for example, was just 16 years old when he created his wry nod to New York City living during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Humor also pervades films like "Rough" from Northern Ireland, France’s "Archibald’s Syndrome" and "Monsieur Cachemire" of Canada. Both directed by female filmmakers, "Out of Time" and the animated "Aurora" offer close studies of different stages of existence from French and American perspectives.

Short films tackling big topics include Norway’s "The Kicksled Choir," which offers a refreshing look at conflict resolution, while "Bad Omen" examines how a woman copes with stark circumstances in Afghanistan. "Closed to the Light" reaches back in time to focus on a riveting moment in World War II Italy, while the UK’s "Ganef" examines that war’s trickle-down effect on subsequent generations.

All ten finalists will be shown back-to-back at each screening. Cinema lovers across the United States and around the globe will become instant film critics as they are handed a ballot upon entry that allows them to cast their votes for Best Film and Best Actor. Votes will be sent through to MANHATTAN SHORT HQ with the winner announced at ManhattanShort. com on Monday, Oct 4.
