People You Should Know

PERIANN PULLIAM CEO Upward Transitions

Where did you grow up, and do you have a favorite childhood memory?

I was born in Jackson, Tenn. and moved to Oklahoma when I was eight. I still consider myself a Tennessee girl even though I mostly grew up in Lawton, with my four big brothers and little sister. My favorite memories are all the summer and Christmas trips we took “back home.” Staying connected to our family history and the places my parents and their parents grew up was incredibly special. Hearing my mother and father share stories from their youth helped me know them on a deeper level. For my birthday this year, I made a pilgrimage “back home” to visit some of my favorite places. The best part of the visit was sharing stories from my trip with my 86-year-old father when I returned home. What did you want to be when you grew up?

In my teens, I developed a passion for photography and dreamed of traveling the world photographing beautiful places and famous people. My ultimate goal was to work

Village Police Chief Russ Landon announced a search to hire up to two new police officers following recent approval by the city council. New openings for police officers in The Village are rare as the department is historically strong for a fully accredited, well-funded metro area police department. When the search for additional officers is complete, the new hires would increase the number of officers serving in the department to 24.

“My vision for our department is to be the best small-city police department around, deﬁned by our professionalism, readiness, innovation and strong community engagement,” said Chief Landon. “We have a robust training budget and progressive in-house training programs, as well as access to the latest technology, all augmented by a strong communications division.”

Candidates must complete a rigorous application process that could take up to 10 months from start to ﬁnish. Applicants must successfully complete physical testing including running 1.5 miles, a 300-yard sprint for time and a minimum number of push-ups and sit-ups.

A basic police ofﬁcer entrance exam involving some arithmetic, reading comprehension, grammar and incident report writing follows the physical testing. Applicants do not need law enforcement experi-

ence to take the examinations.

Once the applicant passes the physical and examination portions of the process, the application packet is scrutinized to determine which applicants make it to an initial interview with the chief and deputy chief.

“Depending on the number of qualiﬁed applicants remaining we may assemble an interview board to provide their recommendation on who advances,” said Landon. “Not only do we look for the most intelligent applicant, but one who has a heart for service, is a curious problem solver and will work well with our current members.

“Once we select the final individual(s) we spare no expense on a thorough background investigation, polygraph examination, drug screen, pension physical and psychological profile to do all we can to ensure our new hire is the best choice for our city,” he said. “We recognize the authority and trust a police officer is given so our hiring process is quite rigorous.”

Starting salary for a non-certiﬁed oﬀicer

is $60,491 per year and $62,681 per year for a certified officer. VPD will provide a $10,000 hiring bonus to someone who is already certified.

There is no previous experience required to be hired by the VPD.

“If we hire someone who is not certified we will pay for them to attend a four-month basic police officer academy,” said Landon. “If the person we hire is certified we will get them directly into our four-month field training program which consists of being trained by a variety of our best officers while working on all three patrol shifts. Once the new officer successfully passes all phases of recruitment, hiring and training they will be released to serve our citizens.

“We enjoy strong partnerships from

every level of law enforcement in and around Oklahoma City,” he said. “While we do compete with other law enforcement agencies for good candidates, we oﬀer an opportunity to work in a diversely populated, constantly improving city that is a nice balance of business and residential environments.

“I’m proud of the department we continue to build and excited to add another officer or two to our already great group of police officers,” he said.

Applications can be obtained at the Village Police Department, 2304 Manchester Drive, online at thevillageok.org or by calling (405) 751-9564.

“The team name United has a rich history in soccer, but the word means something more in Oklahoma City,” said Holt. “OKC is a community that works together to ﬁnd common ground. Our unity is how we have built ourselves into America’s most dynamic city. And nothing brings us together like our sports teams.

City has to be a part of global culture.”

Over the last couple months, the United States has been the center of the soccer world as it hosted the FIFA World Cup which concluded this past weekend with Spain outlasting Argentina in the ﬁnal on Sunday afternoon.

The Thunder and OKC United also position OKC with franchises in the two most popular team sports across the world – basketball and soccer.

“There are two team spectator sports played everywhere in the world, and only two. Basketball and soccer. This is why I have always felt that we are exceptionally fortunate to have ended up with the Thunder and the NBA,” Holt said. “As much as I’m sure we would have enjoyed the NFL, the MLB or the NHL, the NBA is the most popular American sports league around the world.”

OKC got its ﬁrst foray into professional soccer when the Energy took the ﬁeld in 2014 at historic Taft Stadium. The team went dor-

mant to await construction of larger, more modern stadium, and was purchased by Christian Kanady, founder and CEO of Echo Investment Capital.

“Christian and his partners will tell you that they want this team to bring access, joy and wellness to our community,” Holt said. “That they want to be a part of building the game of soccer in our country, and that they want to continue the eﬀort of connecting Oklahoma City to the world and the world to Oklahoma City.”

OKC United will compete in the USL (United Soccer League) Championship, one of the most successful pro-

fessional leagues in the world.

The name was chosen to tie OKC with “United,” one of the most recognized identiﬁers in global soccer that is shared by clubs from hundreds of communities across the world from Manchester United to Newcastle United.

“The name OKC United is a statement rooted in centuries of soccer history and the deep commitment to community that builds this city on a daily basis,” said Kanady. “Our team and its culture will make Oklahomans proud for generations as we compete for championships year after year. This will be a world-class soccer club built for a world-class city.”

The club’s ownership group also comprises some of the most recognizable names in the sports world, including former Thunder star and NBA MVP Russell Wesbrook, former OU and current NFL quarterback Baker Mayﬁeld, current Thunder star and NBA champion Jalen Williams, along with Olympic gold medalist Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone and American pro soccer player Jozy Altidore.

Cultural entrepreneur Nick Gross and the Chickasaw Nation have also made strategic investments in OKC United.

The team is currently accepting founding season memberships through the 1910 Founders Club, which have already passed 3,000 ahead of the club’s debut in two years.

The 1910 Founders Club oﬀers members priority access to season tickets, exclusive club experiences and a permanent place in the club’s founding story. Visit okcunited.com for club membership details and other exciting information about OKC United’s inaugural season.

The Odyssey

The Odyssey is a smash hit! Christopher Nolan’s starstudded new movie based on the Greek epic poem written by Homer in the 8th century B.C. dominated the box office last weekend. The film raked in $124 million in the U.S. and $140 million overseas for a worldwide total of $264 million in its opening weekend.

Surprisingly, this is not the biggest opening of 2026. Two animated films, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie and Toy Story 5, both enjoyed larger opening weekends. Super Mario has now reached $1 billion, and Toy Story 5 is on its way with $957 million. The other billiondollar behemoth this year is the Michael Jackson biopic Michael, which moonwalked past Bohemian Rhapsody’s $911 million box office to become the biggest musical biopic of all time.

For me, Christopher Nolan is the greatest director working today. He makes complicated, intellectually challenging movies that are also super exciting and gorgeous. After his second movie Memento thrust him onto the short list of great filmmakers to watch, he took on the Batman trilogy, breathing new life into the superhero genre by pulling it out of cartoon land and into the realm of smart action films for adults.

Batman Begins, starring Chistian Bale, provided a wild new chapter to the caped crusader’s origin story. Then The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises blew the roof off, garnering more than a billion dollars each and earning a posthumous Oscar for Heath Ledger as the Joker.

Inception in 2010 and Interstellar in 2014 harkened back to the complexity of Memento. But with giant, Oscar winning stars

like Leonardo DiCaprio and Matthew McConaughey, they were also box office giants, raking in a combined $1.5 billion at the global box office.

Nolan was first Oscar nominated for co-writing the twisted crime thrilled Memento in 2002. He was nominated again in 2011 for writing and producing Inception and in 2018 for directing and producing Dunkirk. He finally struck Oscar gold three times in 2024 for writing, directing, and producing Oppenheimer For The Odyssey, Nolan hired Hollywood favorite Matt Damon for the lead role and surrounded him with a slew of Oscar winners and box office favorites. Damon famously won a screenwriting Oscar with his best friend Ben Affleck for Good Will Hunting. He went on to become a leading man in films as diverse as The Talented Mr. Ripley The Martian Invictus and the Jason Bourne franchise.

In The Odyssey, Damon is joined by Oscar winners Anne Hathaway (Les Misérables), Charlize Theron (Monster), Lupita Nyongo (12 Years a Slave) and two-time Oscar nominee Samantha Morton, who anchors the most grotesque and intriguing scene in The Odyssey The film also includes Spiderman’s Tom Holland, Dune’s Zendaya, rapper Travis Scott, and comedian John Lequizamo in his most dramatic, emotional role ever. I highly recommend you see The Odyssey in the biggest movie theater you can find. It is long at three hours, violent, and super loud. But it is also awesome. And thanks to the great direction from maestro Christpher Nolan, it will definitely be the front runner for the Oscars next year.

PUBLIC NOTICE

(Published in OKC Friday, Friday, July 24, 2026)

To the Editor:

In the prologue of celebrating America’s semiquincentennial, we should be reminded of the rights fought for against a tyrannical government.

One such right is the right to counsel and the ability to have confidential (private) conversations with that counsel. The Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees, among other things, that any person accused of a crime has the right to the assistance of effective counsel. This right also includes the ability to have confidential conversations with your attorney.

The right to have protected privileged conversations with an attorney is not limited to criminal

matters. It applies to anyone seeking guidance on various legal concerns, such as business disputes, estate planning, employment issues, family matters, real estate transactions, and many others. This privilege is not a loophole; it is a safeguard against governmental abuses. It is important to clarify that the attorney-client privilege does not protect future crimes or allow attorneys to assist clients in unlawful conduct. It is a fundamental right that ensures the protection of individuals from governmental overreach. Furthermore, the right to an attorney and to have protected communications with that attorney is not a privilege re-

served for a select few. These protections reinforce the principle that all individuals are entitled to due process under the law.

Regardless of one’s opinions about a particular case, preserving these rights ensures that our courts remain places where the rule of law, rather than the overreach of a tyrannical government, determines the outcome.

A society committed to both liberty and justice must remain equally committed to the constitutional protections that safeguard us from governmental abuses and preserve the integrity of our justice system.

Sincerely, Robert “Bobby Don” Giﬀord, Quail Creek

Dear Wise Elder: : My husband died three years ago and I’ve taken care of all the paperwork. Now I’m receiving past due notice on SBA loans. My husband never had an SBA Loan. The company on the letterhead has a website and seems legitimate. What should I do? Dear Never SBA Loan: If it walks, talks and smells like a duck, then it is one. This is apparently a scam. If he really owed money, you would have known about it and paid well before three years had passed.

DRS brings home Telly Award

The Oklahoma De-

partment of Rehabilitation Services recently won a Telly Award for a public service announcement promoting its work with Oklahomans who have a disability.

The Telly Awards honor excellence in video and television production.

The PSA, “See Me, Not My Disability,” was produced by the DRS communications team and is currently airing on television stations throughout Oklahoma.

“Our goal is to reach individuals who may need our services,” said Mark Beutler, DRS’ director of communications. “We are on the front lines every day, helping those with disabilities fulfill their dreams. DRS offers training and advocacy to give them the skills they need to find employment and become productive, tax-paying citizens.”

“See Me, Not My Disability” features four clients who

achieved success through their work with the agency.

DRS helps individuals through ﬁve program divisions, Vocational Rehabilitation, Services for the Blind and Visually Impaired, Disability Determination, and the Oklahoma School for the Deaf and School for the Blind.

“At DRS, we are changing lives every day,” Beutler added.

“One of our clients featured in this PSA lost his vision at age 46. He could have easily sat on the sofa the rest of his life, he told me, but he felt he had more to oﬀer. After utilizing our services and completing some rigorous training, he started a new job in the spring. It’s heartwarming stories like this that we love to highlight and want the public to know about.”

Beutler produced the PSA along with communications manager Brett Jones.

“Brett came up with the tag line,

Department of Rehabilitation Director of Communications Mark Beutler and Communications Manager Brett Jones with the Telly Award.

‘See Me, Not My Disability,’ which I thought was brilliant,” Beutler said.

“It is exactly what we hope the public will see — the person and not their disability. The Telly’s are the local equivalent of winning an Oscar, so it’s nice to be recognized by your peers.

“The real honor, however, is when we hear our clients tell us they have accomplished something they set out to do,” Beutler continued.

“Whether it’s ﬁnishing their training or landing a new job, that’s the best honor right there.”

Last year, DRS served 84,719 individuals with disabilities with career

preparation, employment, residential and outreach education, independent living programs, and the determination of medical eligibility for disability beneﬁts. The agency helps job seekers with disabilities face barriers to employment, such as inaccessible worksites, lack of transportation or the need for specialized equipment or training.

city’s history, people are moving here,” the mayor said.

Based on the rate people are becoming Oklahoma City residents, Holt said that by 2050 or 2055, OKC could be home to 1 million people.

“And just to put into perspective what it will mean to have a million people living in Oklahoma City, do you know how many American cities today have over a million people?,” he said. “Ten.

“Now those cities will keep growing as well, so I’m not suggesting we’ll be in the top 10 cities by 2055, but think of the cities today in the top 10 and imagine that we’ll be the size that they are right now in just a quarter-century,” he said. “I mean, you know which cities I’m talking about?

“Counting down from number 10 to number six –those cities today are Jacksonville, Dallas, San Diego, San Antonio and Philadelphia. Those are some of the biggest cities in America, and we are 25 years away from being where they are today.”

With so many people moving here, helping them move around is becoming an issue.

“ ... If you lived here in 1970, you drove on I-40. You drove on I-35. You drove on I-44,” Holt said. “The fundamentals of our city’s transportation network are the same today as they were in 1970. But within two years, there will be twice as many people on those highways than there were in 1970.”

We can’t stop people from moving here, he said. We can’t really expand the highways any more. Holt showed a slide of Interstate 405 in Los Angeles.

“If you’re intoxicated with the idea of adding lanes to our highways, there’s nothing more beautiful than this image,” Mayor Holt said. “Look at that – 12 lanes across. And all those cars are still just sitting there. Here in OKC, we live in the 405. In Los Angeles, they live on the 405.”

Our ability to freely move around our city is in jeopardy, he continued, and it is time for a sense of urgency.

“The urgency comes from the reality that funding and planning and implementation of major improvements in our transportation system will still take many years, no matter how fast we move from this point forward,” he said. “The best time to start was yesterday. The secondbest time is today.”

In 2005, Oklahoma City adopted a plan for public transit that included better bus service, commuter rail that connects downtown OKC to Edmond and Norman, bus rapid transit lines along key corridors and a downtown streetcar to circulate all those people who would be arriving downtown via the rest of the system without cars.

During his tenure and over a decade ago, Mayor Mick Cornett began convening our regional cities when OKC formerly joined the state’s ﬁrst Regional Transit Authority, which also includes Norman and Edmond and now is chaired by Gov. Brad Henry. Now known as ONE Transit, its plan for the community is nearing completion.

ONE’s aim is to garner additional road funding for all three cities through a proposed voter-approved local penny sales tax and matching federal grants.

“Roads are absolutely a part of this community’s transportation system and always will be,” Holt said. “And funding for roads is desperately needed in all three cities. We don’t receive signiﬁcant funding from anywhere else to maintain our city streets.

“We do it with the taxpayers that we have, and even with the resources we received last year in the bond issue, it’s still inadequate to a city of 620 square miles with 9,000 lane miles to maintain. It currently costs between $800,000 and $900,000 to resurface one lane mile. So to resurface every street in the city

would cost between seven and eight billion dollars. So we will make good use of additional road funding, and so will Edmond and Norman.”

He said the commuter rail system is a transformative new amenity.

“This will ... change the way we commute to work and the way we travel to Thunder games and concerts, OU football and date nights,” Holt said. “And the stops along that line will become booming commercial developments, as we have seen in every other city in America.”

The ONE Transit plan also includes bus rapid transit to serve Canadian County and to Tinker to complement the bus rapid transit lines already operating in Northwest OKC and funded through MAPS 4 for the northeast and south. And the ONE Transit plan is to improve bus systems in all three cities and ultimately make a downtown connection to OKC Will Rogers International Airport.

“Collectively, this plan will preserve our quality of life by alleviating traﬀic congestion, it will preserve the mobility necessary to keep our economy strong and growing and it will spur commercial development, among other beneﬁts,” Mayor Holt said.

This plan and its necessary resources requires voter approval in a pooled election of Oklahoma City, Edmond and Norman residents.

“This proposal will come to you in the next year. There are still ongoing conversations as we collaborate with the many partners at the table, including ONE Transit, the mayors and city councils in all three cities, and this Greater OKC Chamber,” Holt said. “Though we have details to consider and timing to ﬁnalize, we all understand that the challenges of population growth I have described today must be faced and that we have to make a commitment to our transportation system, and that there is a sense of urgency.”

for Rolling Stone magazine. I studied photojournalism at Oklahoma State University and worked in retail photography for eight years. I took a lot of photos of crying babies with live bunnies at Easter time and printed a gazillion holiday greeting cards before I realized my superpower was organization and process improvement. I never imagined I would be the CEO of a 100year-old nonprofit organization, but I’ve been so fortunate to work with some amazing leaders who inspired and encouraged me along the way. I’d still love to see one of my photos on the cover of Rolling Stone.

What are you most passionate about professionally?

Nothing fills my heart more than seeing the hope in a client’s eyes and a smile on their face when they receive their identification documents. They know those pieces of paper and plastic will open doors to employment, housing, and access to vital services. The icing on the cake is seeing how fulfilled our Upward Transitions’ team members are when they see how their work is changing the life of someone who came to us in crisis and empowering them to walk the path to self-sufficiency with dignity.

Has your definition of success changed as you’ve developed your career?

My definition of success was always to make a meaningful impact on the lives of people I encounter. Whether I was behind a cash register, camera or approval stamp, I have always believed a smile, a kind word, or just a little help when offered at the right time could be life changing for the across

from me. What is a perfect day for you?

My perfect day would be filled with friends, family, sunshine, good food, great music, lots of laughter, and if I’m lucky, a round of golf and a game of trivia! What is some of the best advice you’ve received in your life?

One summer while I was in college, I waited tables at my family’s restaurant. I was serving a couple that appears displeased with everything before they even ordered their food. I shared my frustration with my mother. She told me, you never know what is going on in someone’s life, and you can’t control how they behave, but you can control how you react to them. Then these pearls of wisdom rang out like a bell, “Kill ‘em with kindness baby!” I have to admit, I didn’t buy into her philosophy, but I always minded my mother, so I continued to serve the couple responding quickly and kindly to every request. To my surprise, at the end of the meal, they thanked me for the delicious meal and friendly service. I couldn’t believe my mother’s advice worked. Because I chose to not reflect their negativity, we both had a better experience, and I got a big tip! More than 40 years later, I’m still trying to “Kill ‘em with kindness!”

What is No. 1 on your bucket list?

SCUBA diving is one of my greatest joys, and I am grateful I’ve had the opportunity to dive some amazing locations with some great friends. Diving the Great Barrier Reef is No. 1 on my bucket list. I dream about seeing the varied abundance of marine life and vibrant coral of the world’s largest reef system. Oklahoma has had an amazing sports history,

which has featured a lineup of individuals such as Mickey Mantle, Shannon Miller, Jim Thorpe, Patty Gasso, etc. Did you have any sports heroes growing up?

I played catcher on my elementary softball team and was a huge Cincinnati Reds fan during the Big Red Machine’s hey day. Johnny Bench, hands down, was my favorite player. He was impressive on both offense and defense. His leadership, work ethic, and loyalty to play his entire career with the Reds were strong influences on me. I was ecstatic to attend the dedication of his statue at the Bricktown Ballpark in 2001 and stand just feet away from my childhood sports hero.

How would you like to be remembered?

I would like to be remembered as someone who always showed kindness and was willing to help others. What is one question I haven’t asked you that you would like to answer?

How does Upward Transitions address the issues of homelessness?

I am so glad you asked that question! Last year, Upward Transitions helped remove barriers to stable housing for more than 4,100 neighbors. We prevented evictions for 750 people in 247 households — helping families remain under one roof and helping children and seniors stay connected to nutrition, medical care, education, employment and the support systems. We also provided 2,010 vital identification documents to neighbors experiencing homelessness, opening doors to jobs, housing, benefits and critical services. With more than 50 community partners beside us, we are meeting complex needs with compassion, coordination and hope.
