The days the Oklahoma Standard was born

By Vicki Clark Gourley Publisher The Oklahoma Standard.

For 25 years, this beacon shines through tragedies and in everyday life. Today in this terrible war against the COVID-19 virus epidemic, Oklahomans are making masks, taking lunch to

health care workers and driving in parades with headlights flashing to show hospital staffs how much we appreciate them.

The Oklahoma Standard has always been there. It is in the hearts and minds of our citizens. It was given its name after the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal

Building 25 years ago.

People rushed downtown to hug and give love to complete strangers. They brought food for the rescue workers, warm clothing, and everything they heard was needed.

In the first days, hope welled in the hearts of everyone as hospitals prepared to

Kelly Gentry helps sew masks for Oklahomans in need. She said she has put together about 200 thus far.

In light of the coronavirus quarantine, Sunday’s Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum’s 25th Anniversary Remembrance Ceremony will not look like any other.

The Memorial has produced an hour-long ceremony that includes the 168 seconds of silence and the reading of the names of those who lost their lives on April 19, 1995. The program will air at 9 a.m., Sunday, on television stations in Oklahoma City and Tulsa, at MemorialMuseum.com and on the Memorial’s Facebook page. This will take place rather than the traditional live ceremony at the Memorial.

The Memorial has been preparing the community for the 25th Anniversary since November with the 168 Days, remembering those who were killed, honoring those who survived and thanking those changed forever.

“This is not how we planned to do April,” National Memorial Executive Director Kari Watkins said. “We had to really regroup.”

She said that once the decision was made to

MEMORIAL SATAN: “I will cause anxiety, fear and panic. I will shut down business, schools, places of worship and sports events. I will cause economic turmoil.”

JESUS: “I will bring together neighbors, restore the family unit and bring dinner back to the kitchen table. I will help people slow down their lives & appreciate what really matters. I will teach my children to rely on me & not the world. I will teach my children to trust me and not their money or material resources.”

Norwalk Fine Furniture owners Cindy Curley and Ryan Johnson made mask kits from leftover drapery fabric. Curley, left, gives Rochelle Chancy the materials she needs to make masks curbside at the NorthPark store.

MASKS From Page 1 Facebook friend Leslie Roberts, together with Amber Hunsucker, were coordinating mask-making efforts and had formed Masks for Oklahomans.

“Joann's donated fabric, others cut the fabric and then supplies to make 100 were delivered to my house,” Kelly said.

Another friend, Linda Deupree, had made about 20.

Since that time, Kelly has made about 200 masks.

“I heard that several companies are making them for hospitals, etc. so I am still doing it mostly for family and friends that need them,” she said.

The first mask took about an hour and the second about 30 minutes.

“After that each mask took about 15 minutes,” Kelly said.

Elastic is hard to find these days, so Kelly said her sister, Sody Clements, a member of the Nichols Hills City Council, gave

her what she had.

“One thing that is fun is that my mother-in-law died several years ago and she had a bunch of fabric, elastic, etc. in her sewing room,” Kelly said. “I took a lot of it because that's what sewers do.

You just never know when it will come in handy.”

Kelly used a lot of her late mother-in-law’s sewing materials to make the masks.

“I know that if she were here, she would be making a lot of masks, so I know that she would be happy that her things went to good use. I felt like she was here with me.”

Kelly said she learned to sew “out of necessity.”

“I was a nurse wearing uniforms and then got a job in an office that required professional wear,” she said. “I took a sewing class and learned how to make a skirt. I had that same skirt in many different fabrics and wore different blouses until I could build up a proper wardrobe.”

As of Monday, Masks for Oklahomans had made approximately 12,000 masks for delivery throughout the area.

Cathy Keaing: ‘Love Won’ in the aftermath of April 19, 1995

By Mark Beutler Special to OKC FRIDAY The day began with a brilliant sunrise on that spring morning, as Oklahomans were going about their normal routines. But just after 9 a.m., a blast reverberated throughout Oklahoma City that would soon be felt around the world.

The Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building crumbled as a Ryder rental truck exploded outside the nine-story structure. The homemade bomb killed 168 people, including 19 children. More than 650 others were injured and the blast damaged or destroyed 300 additional buildings.

Today, as the 25th anniversary approaches, former First Lady Cathy Keating shares her memories and her vision for moving Oklahoma forward in the wake of tragedy.

Most Oklahomans remember April 19, 1995 as vividly as Nov. 22, 1963. Where were you on that day?

CK: After Frank was sworn into office in January 1995, we

CATHY KEATING First Lady decided to sell our house in Tulsa to make a total move to OKC so our son Chip, who was in ninth grade, would not feel the pull between lives in two cites. The morning of April 19, I met the movers to empty our Tulsa home and move our belongings into storage. I spent the night before and the morning up to 9:03 a.m. packing and getting ready for the move. About 9:10 a.m., the phone rang, and it was a friend telling me to turn on the television. The Murrah Building was only half there and the screen was filled with smoke and flames. The rest is history. I will never forget that moment. Ever.

How soon were you and Governor Keating on-site?

CK: In the earliest part of the afternoon, Frank and I arrived together. The sun and warmth of the morning had turned to a cold, dark, cloudy day which reflected the mood of the world that was watching. The street was filled with car and building parts, with firefighters navigating uncharted territory.

From there we went to the Civic Center for the first national press conference.

As First Lady, how did you comfort your fellow Oklahomans?

CK: The role of First Lady does not come with a job description, so it is necessary to write your own. As governor, Frank knew the job he needed to do to lead OKC through this tragedy. I, like most Oklahomans, wanted desperately to help but every time there was a need, it was quickly met by thoughtful, generous Oklahomans. The night of April 19, I was on the phone with a friend who asked: “In the past how have you helped friends dealing

with a tragedy?” And the immediate answer was through prayer.

Thus, the prayer service was born and I found the strength to reach out to those in need through the Memorial Service three days later. My mission was to help those who lost loved ones, who were injured and everyone impacted by the bombing.

Did the building’s implosion signify Oklahoma City’s rebirth?

CK: The implosion was incredibly emotional. It signaled the end of the search and rescue and the beginning of the remembering and rebuilding. But the healing had begun, I believe, prior to that, as the prayers started with those who had been injured, those who were part of the search and rescue teams and with many of the volunteers and professionals who helped us from the beginning. The remembering and rebuilding started us on a new journey which day by day, month by month and year by year has been an incredible one of coalescing by the business,

Memorial reintroduces the Oklahoma Standard The Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum has officially reintroduced the statewide initiative for the Oklahoma Standard alongside Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt, Cabinet Secretary – Human Services & Early Childhood Initiatives Justin Brown and Executive Vice President and General Manager of the Oklahoma City Thunder, Sam Presti.

The Oklahoma Standard was born out of the overwhelming community response to the bombing on April 19, 1995. It lives on today as the model by which Oklahomans live their lives in response to the needs of their neighbors, fellow citizens, and communities.

The foundation and significance of the Oklahoma Standard are its core values— Service, Honor and Kindness.

“During these uncertain times, we are making a call to all Oklahomans to Show up to serve, Rise up to honor and Step up to be kind,” said Bob Ross, Chairman of the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum.

“Today, we begin rolling out a statewide campaign that will empow-

The Williams Route 66 Marathon and Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon have teamed up to create an Oklahoma Standard medal. er Oklahomans to take action.”

The Oklahoma Standard initiative includes stories of Service, Honor and Kindness, an exhibit opening next month in the Museum, a new website and resources specifically designed for businesses, schools and communities. Two books have also been published – “Love Won: The Oklahoma Standard”, a children’s book by Cathy & Frank Keating and “Looking Back. Thinking Forward. Defining The Oklahoma Standard” by Bob Johnson and Kari Watkins.

Additionally, the Williams Route 66 Marathon and Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon have teamed up to create an Oklahoma Standard medal which will be awarded

to runners who complete either the Full or Half Marathon in both Tulsa and Oklahoma City races this year.

“This beautiful medal represents an accomplishment of completing two marathons, but more importantly it represents the values of the Oklahoma Standard, a love for Oklahoma and an appreciation for our two great cities,” said, Jordan Ward, marathon operations director, Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon.

“As we approach the 25th Anniversary of the bombing and reflect on the work the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum has done to tell the world our story, we must ensure that future generations remember what happened and understand how they can serve one another – even in the most difficult times,” said Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt. “We are calling on all Oklahomans to help us preserve these values.”

Now more than ever, we don’t want Oklahomans to lose their

desire to serve, honor and be kind to one another, Sam Presti, executive vice president and general manager of the Oklahoma City Thunder.

“Oklahomans are so very generous and it is important to make sure we don’t lose the standard set 25 years ago.

It is up to us to carry the torch in how we respond and teach others to respond in being a good neighbor and living the Oklahoma Standard.”

“We are committed to the continued awareness, education and the preservation of the Oklahoma Standard values – especially right now,” said Kari Watkins, executive director, Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum. “These values unite the people of Oklahoma in building a bright future of caring citizens who actively serve the community, honor the past, and demonstrate kindness.

political and non-profit communities with the OKC National Memorial an important centerpiece. The result is an amazing city — a shining city with a bright future for the young and old; a city with the amenities of a large city but most importantly it is one where people care about people. We never lost our “soul” as we have grown. We remain the “Heartland of America.”

A quarter-century has passed. What are your thoughts today when you visit downtown?

CK: My heart swells with pride.

Frank and I have written a book for children in remembrance of the bombing. The title is “Love Won: The Oklahoma Standard.” That title says it all. Love won in all aspects. We have an incredible National Memorial with a task of both looking back and going forward. Our NBA Thunder, in my eyes, can also be a metaphor for how our city has risen to prominence.

Building is ongoing.

Our population is growing. Young people are choosing an urban life.

Pride is everywhere.

Working behind the scenes, Frank and I helped in every way possible. We formed the National Advisory Board which included the Rev. Billy Graham, President Bill Clinton, Tom Ridge and Bob Woodward. When asked, we work with Executive Director Kari Watkins, Bob Johnson and others.

What do you want history books to remember about April 19, 1995?

CK: I hope people will think of the many wonderful human beings whose lives were cut short and their families whose lives will never be the same by the cruel act of an evil man. Remembering also those injured and those who were involved in the search and rescue as their lives were also changed forever. But it has always been my greatest hope the incredible acts of kindness, generosity of spirit and selflessness of a community, state, nation and world would serve as a lesson that good triumphs evil.

That in Oklahoma, love won!

NO MORE GAMES TO PLAY Harding Charter Prep seniors making the best of canceled spring season Editors Note: This is the next in a series of stories highlighting seniors in Fridayland schools who will not be playing this spring after schools shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic. This week, we are profiling seniors from Harding Charter Prep.

By Jason Jewell Sports Editor From almost the time that a Utah Jazz player tested positive for COVID-19 before a game in OKC in late Feburary, Harding Charter Prep athletic director Joe Hughes could see a problem looming on the horizon for state schools.

“After I saw the Thunder

Editors Note: The following is a list of Harding Charter Prep seniors, arranged by sports.

••• SOCCER Coach: Cory Pocock • Jose Armendarez, defender: 4-year starter; great speed, good recovery ability; team co-captain.

• Eduardo Benitez, midfield: 2-year starter; hard-working, smart player; dependable, makes good decisions; team co-captain.

game get canceled, I knew it was just a matter of time before it affected everyone.”

Hughes turned out to be correct when early in March, the State Board of Education canceled the spring sports season and schools for the rest of the 2019-20 academic year.

“It has really been tough on some of our seniors,” said Hughes, who also serves as Harding’s assistant principal. “It’s really an unfortunate situation and out of anyone’s hands.”

Hughes noted one athlete affected by the spring season cancellation is tennis player Carolyn Jarrett. After making the top 3 at state over the last three seasons at No. 1 singles,

midfield/forward: 2-year reserve player; played multiple positions; valuable, dependable reserve player.

• Jack Mims, goalkeeper: 2-year starter; long, rangy, good reactions, athletic.

• Malcolm Ogilvie, forward: 2-year starter; skilled, fast, good size, very good finisher/scorer; led team junior season with 30 goals.

• Julissa Ponce, midfield/forward: 4- year starter, leading goal scorer all four seasons (50 goals scored in career), 2-year captain; All-State nominee.

• Nathan Reyes, midfield/forward, 2-year reserve player.

• Karen Rivera, defender: 4-year starter; 19 goals scored in career, speedy defender; team captain; All-State nominee.

• Juan Villalobos, midfield: 4-year starter; very technically skilled, creative player; team captain; All-State nominee.

••• TENNIS Coach: Tom Kindinger • Carolyn Jarrett, No. 1 singles: went 2-0 for the 2019-20 season; 72-8 career record; finished 3rd in Class 4A three times.

••• GOLF Coach: Rurie Dobson Sean Dobson: started the current golf program; captained the team and lettered all four years; selected to play in the Pure Insurance Pro-Am last September in Pebble Beach; placed 3rd individually at the Purcell Invi-

Jarrett hoped another deep run in state would help her in earning an athletic scholarship to college.

“She was really counting on this season to help her in getting a chance to play in college,” Hughes said.

Jarrett, however, is planning to walk on at Oklahoma State.

Another drawback is that Harding was poised to host its first-ever baseball, softball and soccer games on campus after moving to the old Centennial campus this year.

“We were really looking forward to having some on-campus games this spring,” Hughes said. “Hopefully, we’ll be able to next spring.”

What your friends and neighbors are doing: Jane Krizer: I am coping With a lot of prayer and positivity.

My daughter reminded me I have a workbook called “Living Memories” so I’m filling out all those questions about my life. Some questions I’m not answering.

I am calling all my friends and staying connected through Facebook. I bought a Hibiscus plant and it is full of buds and blooming.

I am also purging files and doing my exercises in place and trying to maintain a sense of humor. My kids come over and we talk through the glass door and wave to each other and hug the door.

So thankful to have a roof over my head and plenty of food!

Jonna Kirschner: (My husband) Bruce is diabetic and over 60 so we have been self-isolating as one of our fellow church members tested positive early on.

(Chickasaw Nation Industries) is wonderful about teleworking so even before our headquarters moved to teleworking I was able to do so.

Bruce and I loaded up and headed to our farm in western Oklahoma to avoid direct contact with Winnie (their collegestudent son who had returned to OKC from spreak break).

We have gone on long walks and are FaceTiming with Bruce’s parents in England which is a great way to stay in touch.

As they are very high risk, they are mandated to self-iso-

late for 12 weeks.

April Sandefer The few people still working in the offices (at the OU Medical Center) around here are pretty much in super casual Friday dress mode. Not me! If I can’t go to parties and other places to dress up, then I’m wearing my sequin cocktail dresses to work! Just sayin’.

Jane Webb: My husband Lonnie and I will try and find the silver lining in this by all things positive!

Michelle Hollingsworth: “Going through all my ‘stuff ’ and minimizing. Getting rid of the junk.”

Juli Hendricks: “Gin Rummy app on my phone.”

Happy Social Distancing!

Linda Dunn said she and her husband Don were originally supposed to go out to dinner for Linda Kerran's birthday, but obviously that was not going to happen.

Instead, they met in the parking lot at Quail Creek Golf & Country Club to at least see each other and have a Happy Social Distancing Birthday party for four. “So I fixed my special recipe of an inflated birthday cake and balloon and we met in the parking lot,” Linda Dunn said. Linda and Mike Kerran next to their car (left) with their dog (Tucker) in tow. Don Dunn is looking out of his car (right). “Linda was most excited about the birthday present we gave her which was hand sanitizer. When before all of this would you have gotten so excited about hand sanitizer? It will definitely be a birthday to remember!”

You’re the One That I Want

I

n the summer of 1978, my family packed into the station wagon and headed to Colorado. We stayed at the YMCA Camp of the Rockies in Estes Park, toured the Air Force Academy, and spent days watching Olympic hopefuls at the National Sports Festival in Colorado Springs.

It was June and I was celebrating my 9th birthday. The giant mountains, jet airplanes, and famous athletes were all very exciting. But the thing I remember most is sitting outside on a massive lawn watching Olivia Newton John and John Travolta in the musical Grease.

Grease was the biggest movie of 1978, grossing $160 million domestically and another $200 million worldwide. It was the biggest movie musical of all time for 30 years until it was toppled by Mamma Mia in 2008. The soundtrack sold $13 million copies, went to number one on the Billboard charts, and spawned four top five hits, including “Grease” and “Hopelessly Devoted to You.” Olivia Newton John was beautiful. She sang like an angel.

Her accent was just

exotic enough to make you look up Australia in the Encyclopedia Britannica.

John Travolta was even cooler. He had recently jumped from television star on Welcome Back, Kotter to super star with the Christmas release of Saturday Night Fever.

By the time Grease came out that summer, he was the biggest star in America.

Not everyone loved Grease. Critics savaged the movie. In a 2016 Vanity Fair article sourced liberally here, critic Rex Reed is quoted as saying that the movie should have been covered in the obituary pages, its music was atrocious, and Olivia NewtonJohn “sounds like a tone-deaf cow.”

Audiences disagreed. The movie smashed box office records. Travolta and Newton John were a sensation. Their duets, “You’re the One That I Want” and “Summer Nights” made it to number one and number five on the Billboard charts. And, the $6

million movie snubbed by the Oscars and maligned by critics became the year’s biggest hit.

Grease is still one of my favorite movies.

But, when I think back on that experience, very few of the memories are about the movie itself. I can still taste the mountain air. I can hear my brothers wrestling beside me. And, I can feel mom and dad on the blanket behind me as I sit mesmerized by the movie.

Sheltering in place has changed life for every single one of us.

The isolation is strange. The pressure to complete every rainy-day task or make every family interaction special is daunting.

As we arrive at our first month of staying home, I hope you will take a step back, relax, and give yourself a break.

Years from now, we won’t remember all of the activities, or the meals, or even the Tik Tok dance that took all weekend to perfect. We don’t always need the giant mountains, famous athletes, or even blockbuster movies to create a memory. Sometimes, it’s enough just to sit on a blanket with the people you love and enjoy the breeze.

Meeting the needs of the community during COVID-19 During this time of uncertainty, we wanted to let you know that the Boys & Girls Clubs of Oklahoma County has stayed busy supporting our Club members and the broader community. We would like to share some of the highlights and to let you know how you can help.

As you know, schools have closed for the remainder of the year as have the Clubs, but we continue to support our Club members in many ways. Staff are putting together weekly packets filled with educational activities and resources that are being distributed to Club members and published on the BGCOKC website. Staff have also reached out to each Club member to see how they are doing, to let

them know we are here for them, and to share information about community resources.

Upon learning that approximately 50% of our parents no longer have jobs and limited food, BGCOKC worked quickly to secure partnerships to provide them with food. Thanks to generous donations from St. Luke’s United Methodist Church, we are able to drop food off to families in need from all Club sites. This partnership is ongoing, and we are incredibly grateful to St. Luke’s for their continued support. In addition to the shelf staple food, Ben E. Keith, local restaurant supplier, has provided fresh produce to be shared with our families.

We began providing Emergency

Child Care for Core Services at the Memorial Park Club on March 30th in partnership with the City of Oklahoma City and the Oklahoma County Health Department. This important service is being provided to our front-line health care professionals and other essential workers so that they have high quality child care during this difficult time.

In partnership with Oklahoma City Public Schools and the Regional Food Bank, we are providing food for the children in the Emergency Child Care program but also an afternoon snack and dinner to our Club members. These meals are being distributed Monday through Friday at all our Club sites.

Please consider making a gift to

BGCOKC to ensure that we can continue supporting our Club members and their families along with the essential workers in our community. Also, if you know any essential workers that might need child care at this time, send them to bgcokc.org for more information.

This is a difficult and uncertain time for us all. But we are a strong community that is coming together to do what is required to get through it. Thank you for your continued support of Boys & Girls Clubs of Oklahoma County and please make every effort to stay healthy!

Our community needs you!

‘Alexa, order 50 giant cases of toilet paper’

By Daris Howard Columnist Parents feel the challenge of being home with their children who are going stir crazy since they can't play with others their age. But how do the children feel when they are trying to find something to do? My wife, Donna, has lots of friends on the internet and one friend, Katie, shared her story.

Katie is the mother of a blended family with a darling four-year-old son named Porter.

Katie likes to use Amazon Prime a lot. As a mother, it is much more convenient to order something and have it show up at her door than to have to run out to make the purchase.

Porter had seen his mother using Amazon and understood the connection between his mom finding something she wanted to purchase and the mailman dropping it off on their porch. Sometimes Porter would ask to look at toys on Amazon and Katie would key the word into Amazon's search bar. For those of us who are older, we might well remember looking at Sears and Roebuck or J. C. Penney catalogs before Christmas.

Amazon is today's equivalent.

One day, Porter asked his mother if he could look at dunk tanks on Amazon. Katie figured that he must have seen one on YouTube and was interested in looking at it further. Porter brought Katie her iPad, and she

keyed in the search for dunk tanks. She was quite surprised to find out that Amazon did sell them. But she felt it couldn't do any harm to let her little son look at them.

A little while later, Porter brought his mother back the iPad and said the mailman would deliver them a dunk tank. Katie smiled at this. Children will often find something they want only to see Santa magically deliver it. So why should a child not think the same thing could happen with the mailman? Katie just shrugged it off. But that quickly changed when a few minutes later, she received the email confirmation of an Amazon order for a $3,500 dunk tank.

Katie could hardly believe her small son knew how to follow through and complete the order on her account. He was so pleased with himself that Katie couldn't be mad and instead just laughed about it. She was able to cancel the order. She knew Porter didn't understand about the money, nor did he understand about an order getting canceled. Needless to say, Katie changed her Amazon settings so it was more difficult to checkout.

Katie's story, and the strangeness we have seen with the run on toilet paper, reminded me of a similar story on the radio about six months back. On Sundays, for church, a lady listened to an internet preacher. He was

lamenting the fact that so much of what we do these days is impersonal, disconnected, and online. (I found that to be interesting since he was an internet preacher.) To get his point across, he gave an example.

"We don't even go to the store anymore to buy something essential like toilet paper.

Instead, we just say, 'Alexa, order me 50 giant cases of toilet paper,' and then we have it delivered to our door. We don't ever see or even talk to another person, only a machine."

You can guess what happened. A few days later, a semitruck backed into the lady's driveway. The driver got out and said, "Lady, where do you want your 50 cases of toilet paper?"

It just happened that her Alexa was on as the preacher was preaching. It had dutifully ordered her toilet paper, as it was told to do. She was floored by this and didn't know what to do with all of it. If that had been today, she would know and could have sold it and doubled her money.

But back to the story about Katie. Trying to explain to her little son that she had canceled the order did no good. He was sure it would come and kept sneaking out each day when the mailman arrived to see if the dunk tank had been delivered.

Katie just smiled and decided that she needed to rent a dunk tank for her little son's next birthday party.

Oklahoma Blood Institute collects its first units of convalescent plasma from recovered COVID-19 patients Oklahoma Blood Institute (OBI) has collected its first units of convalescent plasma from recovered COVID19 patients, part of an experimental initiative to treat seriously ill patients.

In a rapid response to the Food and Drug Administration’s action to fast track the potential treatment, OBI created a statewide registry to catalog available recovered COVID-19 patients to serve as pos-

sible donors. The registry – which has been live less than a week – has already seen more than 20 patients sign up, one of whom was the first to donate plasma units, as of April 9.

“At OBI, we’ve always pursued innovation and emerging opportunities to improve health and save lives,” said John Armitage, MD, president and CEO of Oklahoma Blood Institute. “Today, that innovation has allowed us to bring

Lankfords launch initiative

Cinco de Mayo Festival is now Trece de Septiembre

April 8, Senator James and Cindy Lankford announced the “Hope to Your Doorstep” initiative, to safely coordinate assistance for Oklahomans during the COVID-19 emergency health crisis.

In an effort to help identify people who still have unmet needs and connect them with volunteers who are willing to serve, the Lankfords are starting an initiative called “Hope to Your Doorstep.” The initiative seeks to discover people across the state who are willing to safely assist others in their local area.

“This crisis presents a unique opportunity for Oklahomans to help each other at the most local level and fill unmet areas of need,” said Lankford.

The Lankfords encourage all Oklahomans to follow guidelines put out by federal, state and local governments concerning slowing the spread of COVID-19. If you are higher risk, over 60 years old, or uneasy to be out in the public, #TeamLankford would like to partner you with one of their volunteers to ensure you have the basics needed during this time. Additionally, if you would like to help, please sign up today at JamesLankford.com.

Oklahoma City’s Cinco de Mayo Festival Rescheduled to Sept. 13 Oklahoma City’s Cinco de Mayo Festival, previously planned for May 3 in Scissortail Park, will be rescheduled to Sept.

13, when it will be combined with the Fiestas Patrias Festival at the same location. The Fiestas Patrias Festival will kick-off Hispanic Heritage Month celebrations in Oklahoma. Scissortail Community Development Corporation, which organizes both events, made the decision to postpone Cinco de Mayo in light of the current COVID-19 crisis.

Scissortail CDC Executive Director Robert Ruiz said the rescheduled event would be even

hope to patients and their medical teams as they explore this new treatment option.”

After collection, the plasma units will be processed and tested for safety. Once cleared for patient use, they will be transfused to critically ill patients at local partner hospitals as part of the experimental initiative.

As the COVID-19 crisis continues, more recovered patients will be needed to donate

larger than the original celebration.

“The decision to reschedule is disappointing, but necessary given the current environment and the need for social distancing,” said Ruiz.

“We appreciate Scissortail Park working with us to reschedule this celebration and to combine it with our Fiestas Patrias Festival in September. What we are going to see is one huge and joyous celebration instead of two smaller ones.”

their plasma. To provide convalescent plasma, donors must: • Have a prior diagnosis of COVID-19, documented by a laboratory test • Be symptom-free for 14 days prior to donation and test negative for COVID-19 (testing will be provided, if needed) • Be eligible to donate blood Donors are encouraged to sign up for Okla-

homa’s registry at my.bio-linked.org.

Bio-Linked allows users to submit confidential health and social information via a secure site and to list themselves as potential volunteers for medical research.

“Our team is honored to be pioneering a cutting-edge treatment that allows special patients who have fought off COVID to use plasma donations to power recovery for other

patients,” Armitage said.

“Generosity is a natural strength of our species and now we can use it directly to defeat this terrible virus.”

Oklahoma Blood Institute is the 6thlargest independent blood center in the nation, providing more than 90% of Oklahoma’s blood supply to over 140 hospitals and medical facilities. For more information, visit obi.org.

The ‘ethic’ becomes the Oklahoma Standard Reprinted from OKC FRIDAY, Friday April 28, 1995 “In the civic arena involving economic development for the state and for Oklahoma City, we always stress to industrial plant location consultants the widely recognized Oklahoma work ethic.

“That is, our people do a fair day’s work for a fair day’s pay. No questions, no complaints.

“But after witnessing the selfless outpouring of help, of all kinds, by our citizens in this horrible hour, it struck me that ---“It’s not just the Oklahoma WORK ethic.

It’s the OKLAHOMA ETHIC, period.

“I was frustrated by the trend of an interview by a New York newspaper, questioning one of our best known local radio talk show hosts. The reporter, I think from The New York Times, asked the host here what our city was doing about all the looting and the gouging up of prices like bottled water by our super markets.

The Best of J. Leland Gourley Reprinted from OKC FRIDAY

“She correctly responded, apparently surprised by the questions, that those things just don’t happen in Oklahoma.

“And they don’t!

“I’m not implying we’re a utopian society here in America’s heartland. But I am saying it just is not the nature of the neighborly folks of Oklahoma to think of anything other than to help people in need.

“Instead of price gouging, restaurants have prepared and delivered food downtown for rescue workers. Every public media call for needs, hard hats, for instance, has been met immediately.

“Just this afternoon a call went out for warm shirts and sweat shirts for the rescue workers. Within minutes, there was a mile long parade of cars coming downtown in response, in the cold and rain.

“Churches have responded on their own with victim shelters, information centers

and counseling, many churches staying open around the clock.

“The most frequent comment I’ve heard is: ‘I want to do something. What can I do?’

The demand to help in some way has been so great, The Daily Oklahoman has run a list of ways to help in each day’s paper.

“I heard an out of state volunteer express delight at the Oklahoma City spirit. He said, ‘You’re walking out of the rescue area for a breather and some stranger walks up and hands you a hamburger.’

“Another worker with one of the Federal Emergency crews said ‘you can’t buy a meal here. They keep bringing us food.’

“Oklahoma City has been dealt a cowardly blow with the terrorist bombing downtown killing more than a hundred innocent people.

But we will overcome. The indomitable spirit of our city will prevail.

“My pride runneth over for our wonderful people.”

Since my interview on CNN last Saturday evening, I’ve had numerous calls, faxes and letters from around the country, all expressing praise for the generosity of Oklahoma City citizens and their concern for the victims and their families and the rescue workers.
