Thompson receives Distinguished Citizen Award The Last Frontier Council, Boy Scouts of America, presented David Thompson with the 2022 E. C. Joullian Distinguished Citizen Award for a lifetime of leadership and generosity to the community.

As a Boy Scout in Troop 78, David earned the rank of Eagle Scout in 1964. He was honored as the Last Frontier Council’s first NESA Outstanding Eagle Scout in 2012 and is a recipient of the Silver Beaver Award. Through his career, David has been called to be a leader everywhere he has lived and worked.

He has supported many community organizations including The Greater Oklahoma City Chamber, United Way of Central Oklahoma, The YMCA of Greater

Oklahoma City, State Fair Park and The Last Frontier Council of the Boy Scouts of America.

“The E. C. Joullian name stands for what a distinguished citizen should aspire to be, and David has certainly lived up to that,” Last Frontier Council President Jerry Winchester said.

“Oklahoma City is fortunate to have David as a leader and supporter of our citizens. His support of Scouting has touched thousands of lives.”

The E.C. Joullian Distinguished Citizen Award is named for two men who were champions of Scouting and well-known philanthropists. Edward C. Joullian II served as president of the Last Frontier Council from 1953 to 1954. His son, Edward C. Joul-

lian III, served as president of the Boy Scouts of America from 1982 to 1984 and was awarded the Bronze Wolf for exceptional services to world scouting.

With his family watching, event chairs Mark Funke and Larry Nichols presented David with the award.

“The Scout Oath and Scout Law are perfect descriptions of David” Scout Executive and CEO Jeff Woolsey said. “He embodies the Scout Law, A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent.

“We thank David for fulfilling his oath as an Eagle Scout. His support and personal example are an inspiration to us all.”

asady School graduate Chip Oppenheim is being honored with the Susan McCalmont Creativity Award for his 30 years of service to the arts and education. The award will be presented at the Creative Oklahoma Ambassadors Gala on April 20 at the Oklahoma City Golf and Country Club.

Chip Oppenheim is managing partner of The Oppenheim Group, a retail commercial real estate management and investments company. For 12 years, Chip lived in Washington D.C. and worked as Director of Community Relations and Communications for a regional financial institution, Perpetual Bank. He returned home in 1994 to manage his family business.

Since moving back, Chip has been actively involved in the community. He currently serves as President of the Weitzenhoffer College of Fine Arts Board of Visitors at the University of Oklahoma and as President Elect of Mental Health Association of Oklahoma.

He has also served as president of Ballet Oklahoma City; president of Oklahoma Arts Institute at Quartz Mountain,

president of David Boren’s Oklahoma Foundation for Excellence; president of SW 29th Street Business Improvement District Association; and founding board member at Creative Oklahoma.

Most recently, Chip joined a small group of community visionaries to help re-energize Oklahoma City Repertory Theater, an awardwinning, nationally recognized professional regional theater whose previous leaders had recently retired. Chip collaborated with the new board to attract and hire their outstanding new Executive Director, Kelly Kerwin, from the Public Theatre in New York.

Chip is a graduate of Leadership Oklahoma Class XV and Leadership Oklahoma City Class XVII. He is a foundation board member and Paul Harris Fellow for Oklahoma City Downtown Rotary Club 29. And, Chip is 2015 recipient of the Distinguished Alumni Award from Casady School.

I am personally thrilled to see Chip honored with this prestigious award. I met Chip when I moved back to Oklahoma City from Los Angeles. He was the first person to take me to see the Oklahoma City Ballet. He drove me to Quartz Mountain for visitors’ day to see what was happening with the Oklahoma Arts Institute. He invited me to host and emcee the Creative Oklahoma Ambassadors Gala with Melissa Scaramucci.

And, when I ran the deadCenter Film Festival, Chip introduced us to Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman, starting a partnership that resulted in some of the best films ever to play deadCenter, including The Kings of Summer, Infinity Baby, and Hearts Beat Loud.

Oklahoma City is awesome because of people like Chip Oppenheim. Chip volunteers his time, offers his resources, and brings a creative, innovative approach to the numerous boards and organizations that he supports. I hope you will join us on April 20 at the Creative Oklahoma Ambassadors Gala when we present Chip with this well-deserved award.

Saturday, May 21 Scissortail Park welcomes international, multi-platinum selling, acclaimed singer and award-winning songwriter, LeAnn Rimes. Both concerts are free and open to the public.

“The Love’s Travel Stops Stage and Great Lawn was designed to establish a premier outdoor venue for live music in downtown Oklahoma City.

Beginning with the Kings of Leon in 2019 to open the Park, we have since featured dozens of great musicians and bands at our concerts as well as music provided by the many community groups that use the Park for their

events. The Park is alive with the sound of music,” said Maureen Heffernan, CEO of Myriad Gardens Foundation and Scissortail Park Foundation.

The Scissortail Park Concerts series run May through September 2022.

Additional announcements are coming soon. See scissortailpark.org/calendar for more information.

Amythyst Kiah - With an unforgettable voice that is both unfettered and exquisitely controlled, the Tennessee-bred singer/songwriter expands on the uncompromising artistry she most recently revealed as part of Our Native Daughters—an allwomen-of-color supergroup along with Rhiannon Giddens, Leyla McCalla and Allison Russell. Kiahpenned the standout song, Black

Myself which earned a Grammy nomination for Best American Roots Song and won Song of the Year at the 2019 Folk Alliance International Awards.

LeAnn Rimes is an international multi-platinum selling acclaimed singer and ASCAP award-winning songwriter who has sold more than 48 million units globally, won 2 Grammy® Awards; 12 Billboard Music Awards; 2 World Music Awards; 3 Academy of Country Music Awards; 2 Country Music Association Awards and one Dove Award. At 14, Rimes won “Best New Artist” making her the youngest solo artist to take home a Grammy and at 15, she became the first country artist to win “Artist of the Year” at the Billboard Music Awards.

Out of the 42 singles she has

released throughout her expansive career, LeAnn's ballad How Do I Live holds the record as Billboard's Hot 100 all-time #1 hit by a female artist and continues to rank #4 on Billboard's “Greatest of All Time: Hot 100 Song.” Fifteen of her multi-genre singles are top-10 hits, including Can't Fight the Moonlight, which went #1 in 11 countries.

In 2020, Rimes shined the brightest and won season four of FOX's The Masked Singer, with Entertainment Weekly stating that she delivered “the most beautiful performance in the history of The Masked Singer.” Most recently, she served as the inspiration judge on the Discovery+ competition series, Meet Your Makers Showdown, which started streaming November 2021.

The rise of Oklahoma boys’ volleyball O ne opportunity Casady gives students is their boys’ volleyball program.

Although a new Oklahoma league for boys’ volleyball is in the making, Casady, for a long time, was the only school in Oklahoma that gave this choice to their students who compete in the Southwest Preparatory Conference (SPC).

SPC includes many private schools in Texas with Casady being the only school outside of the Lone Star State.

Playing for Casady is a great experience, but many of us who love this sport thought it was not enough.

Instead of waiting for the next season to start, some students compete in club volleyball and play for a club called Kaizen.

Being a student-athlete for Kaizen Volleyball Club is a big commitment, especially with the schedule that both Casady and the club have. At Kaizen, we practice twice a week, 7-9 p.m.

Before practice, I finish tennis at school, get a quick snack at home,

and then head back to school for Kaizen volleyball practice. Also, the club requires out-ofstate travel, such as going to Missouri, Texas and Las Vegas!

During February, I had tournaments every weekend except for one. These tournaments usually run 2-3 days.

Traveling with the team is a lot of fun because we enjoy many cool activities, have team dinners and get to hang out together. One memorable moment was when we saw top college teams, like Hawaii and Stanford, play each other while at a tournament in Austin, Texas.

Although club volleyball can be very demanding, it is an unforgettable experience and something I love playing. If you love a sport, then putting in the commitment comes easily. When my worlds of school and

100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet

By Pamela Paul, Editor of the New York Times Book Review

For all the gains from having the internet, there are also losses. This is a book about some of those losses which Pamela Paul has made easy for us to recall. Pamela is the editor of the New York Times Book Review and hosts several New York Times Book Review podcasts.

This is not a debate between past and the present/future to determine which is the winner, but rather points out differences, preferences in a very interesting way. By being reminded of what we HAVE lost, we may actually hang on to some of it. The book not only gives us laughs and information, but by doing so reminds us what we have received during past years.

Practically speaking, nobody really wants to be known as a smart-ass but being the first to pull

out a smart phone to report even fake news does make a statement. Having 100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet on any table can kick off some comfortable levity and add a positive pick-me-up. In addition to interesting and sometimes provocative subjects of discussion, this book puts information at your fingertips without the need for you to run to the office for wi-fi.

100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet has class and humor.

Read about civility, airplane encounters, the new kind of touch typing, ignoring people, or what has happened to those beloved postcards. Reading this book is a pleasure and subtly urges us not to get hung up on what we have lost, but just hang on and add to it by tracking the ways the internet has brought you to the 21st century without destroying the charm of being the center of attention and gifted by speaking of news, weather, sports and of course the entertainment world.

Between technology and the creativity, our future looks good for a person if he doesn’t let his brain power wear

I saw it on the night of Mayor David Holt’s watch party, along with several hundred other people, and we were all struck by the elegance of the restoration. The art deco lobby of the 33-floor building is just the beginning of the restoration of the building which opened in 1931.

From cheerful brights to soft pastels, spring is about color!

Dresses with feminine details are at the top of the must-have list. Higher waisted pants and wider legged silhouettes remain on trend and they pair well with shorter waisted tops and cardigan sets.

Overall, this season celebrates getting dressed with carefree joie de vive!

This season is all about super saturated colors, sunny yellows, corals, greens and of course, periwinkle, the Pantone color of the year. It’s meant to be worn head-to-toe or contrast in totally unexpected combinations. There are lots of dramatic silhouettes, with puffy sleeves, drop waist lines and ankle length skirts but also miniskirts and crop tops. The LWD is having a huge moment, with white dresses being de rigueur in every single designer’s collection. It’s fresh and pretty and women are loving it. It’s also very chic to mix white and creams together and truly, you can’t have too many white shirts or pants/shorts/jeans!

Garden florals and floaty, embroidered cotton dresses and skirts are currently appealing to the whimsical and romantic mood of the season. Not your look? Well, there are many different moods this season, lots of choices and opportunity for self-expression. Enjoy and don’t worry about being overdressed, it’s way more fun and as Diana Vreeland said, “I know it’s a lot but is it enough?”

With a new sense of optimism-paired with our desire to go out again, we are finding styles that spark both adventure and joy, as well as comfort. In formal wear, there is an emphasis on romance and simplicity (along with some glamour for fun) with details such as lace, voluminous sleeves, transparent pleats and sparkling accents. With the Pantone color of the year “Very Peri” it is no surprise that lavender hues are showing up front and center followed closely by the cheerful, bright colors of fuchsia, orange and lemon; reminiscent of the 70s era, only with a modern flair. Dresses are both short and long; with feminine styles such as the prairie and babydoll type, embellished with ruffles and sleeve details, making their mark. Drop-shoulder tops or blouses with full sleeves, or no sleeves, tucked into higher-waisted, wider-legged, pants continue to be on trend. Layering with accessories allow for personal style interpretation with colors and metals of one's choice.

Hats, whether bucket or fedora, are a sign of “an outfit complete” and provide a happy solution to the sun (as well as a bad hair day!) All-in-all, Spring 2022 has made a lovely entrance with styles and colors that promise to usher us into the days ahead with renewed hope along with a bit of romance, whimsy and adventure for good measure.

LOUISA From Page 1 Bruce’s family is rallying around him.

Aphasia is impacting his cognitive abilities and the star has retired from acting.

Louisa and Chad Elmore have three sons together.

“Although divorce can be difficult on everyone, we’ve always had in mind that we could recover our friendship and co-parent our children through thick and thin,” she said. “A little (or a lot) of grace, forgiveness and a sense of humor are the essential ingredients. Everyone is much happier when we all demonstrate respect and tolerance for each other’s peccadillos.”

Louisa called Chad one of her closest friends.

“We spend holidays and birthdays together and talk several times a week.

We talk about the kids of course, but we also talk about our favorite TV shows, what we’re cooking and our respective careers,” she said. “In fact, I’m hosting his 50th birthday party next week and the whole blended clan will be together

in Vail this summer.

Chad has a girlfriend Louisa said she likes very much.

“In fact, she is in the entertainment business and shot a short film at my house recently.”

Chad said that a “significant” time in his life was when Louisa, like Bruce’s clan, rallied around him in a time of illness.

“One of the kindest gestures anyone has ever made was when my ex-wife insisted that I spend my COVID recovery time under her watch and care,” he said. “That takes the blended Bruce-andDemi thing a step further. That’s more than just getting along — that’s an act of true friendship.”

Life doesn’t always go as planned, Louisa said.

“I think we’ve all learned that life throws some unexpected curve balls and there are few guarantees,” she said.

“That’s what makes our friendship and family such a warm respite.

“I can tell you with certainty that, when needed, we often turn to one another for advice and support. In our minds, that’s how it should be for the parents of children.”
