Village begins pavilion project
Miss OKC Hall of Honor open By Rose Lane Editor The Miss Oklahoma City organization was honored by Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt, who proclaimed Sept.15, 2026, as Miss Oklahoma City Hall of Honor Day. The afternoon celebration included a ribbon-cutting featuring 26 distinguished titleholders. Mayor Holt said, “The Miss Oklahoma City organization has been a treasured community institution for more than a century, empowering generations of young women through scholarship, leadership, service, and civic engagement. Oklahoma City’s history is something we must hold onto and honor. This organization has been around for most of our city’s 134-year history.

Village city leaders released early design renditions for replacement of the east pavilion at City Plaza demolished earlier this summer after discovering it leaning with structural deficiencies. Further investigation determined the structure had been constructed using interior materials instead of exterior materials. Officials say both products look identical. “We are not sure if the incorrect material was ordered in error by the general contractor or if it was sent in error by the supplier,” said Village City Manager Dave Slezickey. “LAUD Design was able to validate it was the incorrect material from their site inspections and photos once we observed separation in joints on the structure.” New replacement renditions show two smaller pavilions planned to replace the single razed pavilion.

Traffic stop on Penn results in pot bust By Eric Oesch Staff Writer A traffic stop last week on Pennsylvania Ave. in The Village led to the arrest of Anthony T. Adams, 38, from Oklahoma City for outstanding arrest warrants, the discovery of a stolen handgun and possessing over 8.5 pounds of marijuana with intent to distribute plus a host of other charges. Last Friday at around
12:50 p.m., Village Police Corp. Caleb O’Toole observed a vehicle driving northbound on Pennsylvania Avenue with its hazard lights on. “The vehicle was being driven with a flat tire, causing quite a bit of congestion and had an expired paper license tag,” said Village Police Chief Russ Landon. “The officer conducted a traffic stop and asked the driver for his driver’s li-

HALL From Page 1 our city is something special, and we are making sure that remarkable history has a permanent place in the city whose name these women have carried for generations” The celebration was held at the Civic Center Music Hall, an iconic OKC landmark known for the arts. The facility opened in 1937 as the Municipal Audi-
torium before its 1967 renovation and later renaming it the Civic Center Music Hall. The venue has hosted countless musicians, dancers, actors, and stage productions. Legendary performers include Elvis Presley, Dolly Parton, Olivia Newton-John, Pavarotti, Elton John, Oklahoma’s Vince Gill, and many other well-known artists. The ‘Sound of Music’ 65th anniversary tour hit the center’s stage this past week.
The Miss Oklahoma City organization and the Civic Center Music Hall aligned to create the Miss Oklahoma City Hall of Honor to provide a permanent home for more than a century of Miss Oklahoma City history and to recognize its 26 distinguished titleholders. The Miss Oklahoma City Hall of Honor also recognizes the distinguished Miss America winners, Jane Jayroe Gamble, Miss America 1967; and Susan Powell, Miss America 1981. Both women won the title of Miss Oklahoma City before winning their Miss Oklahoma and Miss America titles. Miss Oklahoma City board member Kathy Wilson-Gold See HALL, Page 11

Village leaders plan to replace a Civic Park pavilion razed earlier this summer for structural deficiencies with two smaller pavilions.
VILLAGE From Page 1 “The drawings are renditions of what we are considering and are not detailed plans,” said Village City Manager Dave Slezickey. “LAUD Design will prepare plans for council approval in the near future.” Ground was broken for the $8.9 million Civic Plaza Project in 2022 and completed in early spring of 2024. It is the largest capital improvement project in the 75-year history of The Village. The city hired LAUD Design as project designer and manager for the project and Wynn Construction as general contractor. City leaders say they do not have a timeline on construction, but anticipate it to be a winter project and completed by the spring. Slezickey said the city did not want to interfere with the continued success of The Village Art Association’s Arts Festival scheduled this weekend. “We don’t have a cost estimate until plans are approved and will not have a construction schedule until then,” said Slezickey. “The general contractor on the project is working with the city to make it
DINNER From Page 1 are prepared, coats and toys are organized, and the sounds of Christmas begin filling the room. And then the guests arrive. For many, the Red Andrews Christmas Dinner is not simply an event on the calendar. It is a tradition woven into their lives—a tradition that has been passed from one generation to the next. Some volunteers have served the Red Andrews Christmas Dinner for decades. They remember coming as young people themselves. They remember the excitement of knowing they had been invited to what they considered the best Christmas celebration. Now they return with their own chil-
right, and we have a good working relationship with them.” Slezickey said the city still has some funding left for the project that can only be spent on the Civic Plaza area. “We do not foresee this project as being an increased cost to the city and see no budget impact,” said Slezickey. “This does not impact the fountain.” Slezickey said that while the previous east pavilion was a good design to host large events, the city has seen a significantly higher usage in small group gatherings than large events. “The thought of two smaller pavilions will provide more opportunity for small groups while still supporting larger events like the Village Arts Festival,” said Slezickey. “The two pavilions will have an open space between them that can be used for various needs. “Since the old structure has been torn down, the view looking east from the west pavilion captures the entire linear park leading to the library, outdoor fitness center, Village Green amphitheater, Love’s campus and the new YMCA,” said Slezickey. “This is a great view to showcase our community and creates

The Red Andrews Christmas Dinner has volunteers who represent generations of the same family, working side by side to make Christmas special for someone else. And among those volunteers are children as young as 4years-old. There may be nothing more heartwarming than watching a little child help another child. At 4-years-old, they may not fully understand the magnitude of what they are doing. They simply know they are helping. They know another child is receiving a meal, a gift, a coat or a little extra
more openness than we previously had. This is a great opportunity to take something that was good and make it better to provide more uses to meet community needs for today and tomorrow.” The Civic Area Project, nestled along the Love’s Corporate Campus, Village Library, City Hall and the Hawthorn Village neighborhood, is the result of a massive Tax Increment District created by the council in 2006 to redevelop the area following years of problems created by a large derelict 1970s-era apartment complex. The highlight of the Civic Plaza is a half-mile Linear Park stretching to the south and east from City Hall along Vineyard Blvd to The Village Branch Library on Pennsylvania Avenue. Upon its opening, extensive landscaping in the multiacre area featured 254 trees including many varieties of oak, maple, pine, cypress and magnolia trees. Over 56,000 shrubs and ground coverings were planted, transforming the area into a landscaped park setting. The project was named Outstanding Public Initiative for 2024 presented by the Urban Land Institute.
Christmas joy. Those moments are what make the Red Andrews Christmas Dinner so special — where Christmas friends become family. The Red Andrews Christmas Dinner is a true community celebration. It is a place where people come together year after year and where friendships have grown across generations.
For many volunteers, one of the most meaningful parts of the Red Andrews Christmas Dinner is seeing the people they have come to know over the years. They may not see one another often during the year, but they know they will see each other at Christmas. They look forward to it. Story continued at OKCFRIDAY.com.

Football | Week 5 Preview: Plainview at Mount St. Mary, 7 p.m. Friday
Rockets take on Plainview in early district test By Jason Jewell Sports Editor Coming off one of the biggest wins in program history, the Mount St. Mary football team reloads for another big district battle this Friday night as it hosts perennial playoff contender Plainview. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. at Glass Family Field on The Mount’s south OKC campus. The Rockets came away with a 35-34 victory at Marlow to improve to 3-1 overall and 1-0 in Dis-
trict 3A-1. Kicker Paul Glorius kicked the game-winning 31-yard field goal in the final minutes of regulation. “People don’t win in Marlow,” said coach J.D. Runnels. “We had two starters out, made a quarterback change and still were able to win. This is the stuff movies are made about.” Marlow coach Matt Weber served as offensive coordinator during Runnels’ playing days at Carl Albert.

Zechariah Robinson and Zach Wiley against the Outlaws. Meanwhile, Plain-
view (3-1, 1-0) outlasted Purcell for a wild 53-35 home win last Friday night. “They’ve got a good core of players,” Runnels told FRIDAY. “They play tough football.” A win against the Indians on Friday could be another big step in the rebuilding process started by Runnels three seasons ago. “Our players believe that they can compete with and beat anybody we play,” the coach said. “We have be-
come the team that people want to beat. We now have a target on our backs.” Chatman gets his first chance to start at quarterback against Plainview after taking over midway through the Marlow game. Robinson and Wylie lead the way at receiver, while tailbacks Christian Tshudy and Ja’Ron Jefferson provide a strong running game, behind standout offensive lineman Malachi Hardiman.

Early in the fourth quarter, the Crossings Christian football team began a potential game-tying touchdown drive. The Knights got down to Casady’s 10-yard line before quarterback Micah Shadid’s pass to the end zone was picked off by Cyclone defensive back Frank Ross to secure a 2113 victory last Friday night in the district opener at Hoot Gibson Field. “We work on our 4-minute offense every day in practice,” said Casady coach Josh Cooper after the game. “Once we got the turnover, we were able to work down the field and put the game away.” The Cyclones (1-3, 1-0 District 2A-I-2) took advantage of Crossings Christian’s fumble on its first series with an 86yard scoring drive. Quarterback Andrew Kos completed a 42yard touchdown pass to Ross and a 7-0 lead in the first quarter.

The Knights (1-3, 0-1) responded with two scoring drives in the second period, as receiver Hudson Holloman ran for a 1yard TD and caught a 20-yard pass from Shadid for a 13-7 lead at halftime. “I thought (Casady) just outplayed us,” said Crossings coach Travis Wike. “They are a tough team and it was an
all-out battle.” Kos continued his strong game with a 3-yard pass to Ross midway through the third quarter and hit tailback Peter Kloberdanz on a 39yard bomb for what turned out to be the game-winning TD. Rockets down Marlow Mount St. Mary
kicker Paul Glorius nailed a 36-yard field goal in the final minutes to propel the Rockets to a 3534 win at Marlow on Friday night. Quarterback Devin Chatman threw four touchdown passes, two each to Zach Wylie and Zechariah Robinson. Story continued at OKCFRIDAY.com.

The Luckinbill Brothers In my column a few weeks ago, I wrote about the star-studded film production currently filming in Oklahoma City called Copperhead from Tulsa based writer/director John Swab. I focused on the star power so you would know who to lookout for whenever you pass the movie trailers and film trucks lined up on streets around town. Now it’s time to reveal the most exciting part of the whole enterprise. Copperhead is being produced by Thad Luckinbill and Trent Luckinbill, twin brothers from Enid, Oklahoma, who have become two of the most successful producers working in Hollywood today. Thad Luckinbill is an actor and producer who launched his acting career in 1999 on the MTV anthology series Undressed. That same year, he landed his career defining role as J.T. Hellstorm on The Young and the Restless, a part which he played for 933 episodes between 1999 and 2023. Throughout that time, Thad starred in more than 40 additional television shows and movies, including Buffy the Vampire Slayer, 8 Simple Rules, Nip/Tuck, Grey’s Anatomy, and a recurring role in the Emmy nominated drama Nikita. His most recent role is playing Kyle in 22 episodes of Taylor Sheridan’s hit television series on Paramount called Lioness. After 15 years as an actor, Thad decided he wanted to focus more on producing. He recruited his brother Trent Luckinbill away from a career in law and private equity to join him as a business partner and focus on structuring deals and raising funds. Together, they partnered with producer Molly Smith to
form the production company Black Label Media. Molly Smith, who is the daughter of FedEx founder Frederick W. Smith, made her mark in Hollywood producing the film P.S. I Love You, starring two-time Oscar winner Hilary Swank and Gerard Butler. She followed that hit with The Blind Side, which won an Oscar for Sandra Bullock. By the time she partnered with the Luckinbill brothers, she was a rising power player in Hollywood. Black Label Media, under the direction of the Luckinbills and Molly Smith, has become one of the most successful production companies in Hollywood. Their first project, The Good Lie, starred Oscar winer Reece Witherspoon in a co-production with Ron Howard’s Imagine Entertainment. Their breakout hit, Sicario, was nominated for three Oscars and written by Taylor Sheridan, who would go on to create Yellowstone, Landman, and Lioness, which stars Thad Luckinbill. Black label Media and the Luckinbill brothers continued their hot streak producing Oscar winner La La Land, Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody, and most recently Die My Love with Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence. In addition to Copperhead, the Luckinbill brothers have a full slate of projects lined up for the foreseeable future. Their most exciting film on the horizon is Sicario 3, the third installation in the trilogy from Taylor Sheridan, who is now at the very top of his game. All Oklahomans should be proud of the fabulous success of Thad and Trent Luckinbill, two hard charging boys from Enid who have taken the entertainment world by storm.

OK Humane launches campaign for new campus The Oklahoma Humane Society (OK Humane) has announced the “Unleash the Possibilities” campaign, a $40 million effort to build a new, centralized humane campus designed to expand access to care, increase spay and neuter capacity, provide more space for animals awaiting adoption and create more pathways for vulnerable animals to find loving homes. The campaign, publicly announced at OK Humane’s annual gala, has already raised over $31 million toward its $40 million goal. The new 53,000-square-foot campus will sit on 14.5 acres at 4001 SW 15th St. in Oklahoma City, bringing OK Humane’s major programs together in one location for the first time. Plans call for construction to begin this fall,
with the campus expected to open in spring 2028. Today, OK Humane’s Adoption Center, Spay and Neuter Clinic, and intake and animal care operations are located at separate facilities across the Oklahoma City metro. As demand for services has grown, that model has created logistical challenges and left core programs with limited room to expand. The new campus will allow OK Humane to increase spay and neuter capacity, house more adoptable animals on-site, expand low-cost veterinary services, grow youth humane education and provide additional space for specialized programs serving some of Oklahoma’s most vulnerable animals. Currently a foster-based or-
ganization without overnight sheltering for dogs, OK Humane will add on-site dog housing at the new campus, increasing capacity while continuing to rely on its foster network as a cornerstone of its lifesaving work. “This campus will give us the space and infrastructure to help more animals, support more pet owners and create a true hub for animal welfare in Oklahoma,” said Mark Eby, CEO of the Oklahoma Humane Society. Since 2007, OK Humane has grown to become a critical part of Oklahoma’s animal welfare infrastructure, impacting more than 30,000 animals each year through its programs and services. OK Humane is the largest provider of spay and neuter surgeries in the
state, performing more than 20,000 surgeries annually through its clinic and Statewide Initiative mobile unit, and places approximately 3,000 animals into adoptive homes each year. Its specialized programs also provide lifesaving care for neonatal puppies and kittens, bring veterinary services to underserved rural communities and support people and pets experiencing domestic violence. The “Unleash the Possibilities” campaign is co-chaired by Shannon Presti of the Presti Family Foundation and Bob Ross of Inasmuch Foundation.

T
he Oklahoma Standard is a concept rooted in the response to the Oklahoma City Bombing, which was the first major act of terrorism in the United States. Oklahomans have a unique perspective, especially since they also joined forces with emergency responders during the tragic events of 9/11. The Oklahoma National Memorial serves as a reminder of these events and highlights the importance of remembrance. One way to
Day of Peace
honor this memory is by documenting local oral histories. Many young people have family members who are emergency responders and see firsthand how exhausting and demanding their jobs can be. To honor these heroes, students will recognize veterans — including teachers, family
members, and active service members — as an act of kindness. Additionally, many youths are aware of friends or family members who are struggling due to homelessness, natural disasters, job loss, or illness. It’s vital to offer comfort and support to those in need. Our veterans de-
serve ongoing recognition, care, and compassion. Students in Family & Consumer Sciences classes are engaging in hands-on projects that directly benefit veterans, children in crisis, and families facing health challenges in our community. These projects include creating Kindness Rocks, sewing pillowcases, writing encouragement cards, making stuffed animals, recording digital books, and preparing snacks to spread joy and comfort.
Casady Lower Division students came together for a special Day of Peace chapel service, celebrating the importance of kindness, understanding, and peace within our community and around the world. The chapel provided a thoughtful opportunity for the young Cyclones to come together and learn about the importance of peace.

Releasing hawks at the Red Ridge Nature Preserve R ed Ridge Nature Preserve is an island of Cross Timbers Forest within Oklahoma City’s urban landscape. This forest-edge ecosystem is a historic habitat made up of oak forest, prairie and riparian habitat along Deep Fork Creek. These converging habitats support a variety of native plants and wildlife in the heart of our city. Conservation efforts to protect the land and restore habitat are helping native plants and wildlife recover while revealing nature’s remarkable resilience and biodiversity. Recently, the Kirkpatrick Foundation brought the community together around something we all care deeply about: wildlife and the places they call home. They hosted the ANIMAL Conference at the Oklahoma Contemporary Arts Center, bringing together conservationists, biologists, animal caretakers, and other brilliant minds who work every day to protect wildlife and improve animal welfare. Held every two years, this two-day conference gives the community an opportunity to share ideas, learn from one another and talk about the challenges and possibilities facing animals and our environment. This year, we were fortunate to hear from two remarkable voices in the conservation field. Biologist and television host Jeff Corwin delivered the keynote speech and animal welfare conservationist Temple Grandin closed the conference. Both spoke in different ways about a simple but important idea: caring for animals also means caring for the environments they need to thrive. Conservation landscape management is an important part of wildlife conservation and relies heavily on habitat protection and native plant restoration.
We were especially excited to take these ideas beyond the conference with a visit to Red Ridge Nature Preserve and a wildlife release in partnership with Jeff Corwin and WildCare Oklahoma. WildCare is a nonprofit conservation organization that rehabilitates wildlife and returns animals to their native habitats. The WildCare team was caring for 10 juvenile Mississippi kites during the week of the conference and these patients were chosen for release because the timing aligned perfectly with their migration date. The WildCare staff also provided a bird-ofprey meat log, which was used to prepare small meatballs for the young birds as they became accustomed to their new surroundings. For the first two days, the young hawks explored the area surrounding the Red Ridge Mansion, spending time in the tops of a group of Eastern red cedars, as we watched and waited. The goal was for them to become comfortable enough to begin their migration south. On the second day, we visited the release site and placed out fresh meatballs. The talented bird caller Samuel Henderson provided a connection between us and the birds as we listened to the hawks answer his calls from nearby. By the third day, the meatballs were gone, and the young hawks had moved on, beginning their migration toward South America. It was a simple moment, but a meaningful one, and we are grateful to have been a part of these young birds’ in-
augural journey. We hope their young will one day return and call Red Ridge home, if only for a short time, next summer. On the third night, our wildlife cameras captured a skunk and a coyote visiting the release area to investigate — and carry away —the leftover bird-of-prey meatballs. We never saw the hawks return for them, but we knew they had plenty of insects and other food available as they continued their journey. Seeing those young birds take their next steps into the wild brought the ideas of animal conservation to life. Jeff Corwin and Temple Grandin both reminded us that animal welfare and habitat conservation are closely connected through land management. To protect wildlife, we must also care for the landscapes and ecosystems they depend on. When we take care of wild places, we are taking care of the wildlife that depends on them. Sometimes, those places need restoration and thoughtful land management to become healthier habitats. That is what we are doing at Red Ridge — restoring and protecting habitat so wildlife has a place to thrive. And sometimes, the most rewarding sign that we are doing our job is watching a wild animal leave us behind and venture into the wild places we help manage for its benefit.

During a traffic stop for an expired vehicle registration, Village Police located a handgun reported stolen along with a large quantity of marijuana and packaging materials consistent with distribution. car turned BUST uphis two back-
packs containing a total of 8.5 pounds of marijuana and a Taurus brand 9 mm pistol reported stolen out of Oklahoma City,” said Chief Landon. “Along with the marijuana, police found a digital scale and several unused, empty and colorful baggies, possibly to be used to break down the larger bags into smaller quantities and sold on the street.” Police estimate the marijuana had a street value of nearly $7,000. A portion of the marijuana will be sent to the OSBI for testing before it is destroyed. The suspect was later transported to the Oklahoma County jail where staff refused to accept him due to a medical issue. He was later released to a local hospital. Village Police anticipate the following charges being filed on Adams, including possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute within 2,000 feet of a school, possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony, possession of stolen property and driving a motor vehicle while his privileges were revoked. From Page 1
“The handgun had been reported stolen seven years earlier by someone who now resides in another state,” said Chief Landon. “We have been communicating with the owner to see about returning the handgun to her. “As we’ve mentioned before, we believe the people who live and commute through The Village have an expectation that we do our best to stop traffic violators and educate them about the ordinances in place to keep people safe,” he said. “As our police officers make traffic stops to do this, we too often discover vehicle operators driving without a valid license, not having insurance on their vehicles, driving under the influence of intoxicants and in Mr. Adams’ case, occasionally armed and distributing marijuana. “This incident is another example of how proactive traffic enforcement can lead to the recovery of stolen property and the identification of additional criminal activity,” he said. “The vast majority of the public drive with due regard for others’ safety in mind. For those that don’t, our officers will continue to stop them and have conversations about keeping the public safe.”
