ACOG notes NHills’ air quality strides By Rose Lane Editor For promoting and deploying alternative fuels and advanced vehicle technologies, the City of Nichols Hills received the Association of Central Oklahoma Governments’ Zach D. Taylor Jr. Clean Cities Vision Award. Making strides in improving air quality, the City of Nichols Hills was recognized for invest-

ments across the board in sustainability. Nichols Hills has added electric vehicles and charging stations to its municipal fleet, in addition to a CNGpowered waste management truck. “The City of Nichols Hills is leading by example helping improve our region’s air quality,” said Eric Pollard, ACOG Central Oklahoma Clean Cities manager. In addition to the alternative

fuel vehicles and stations added to the municipal fleet, Nichols Hills also adopted a new Sustainability Plan. “This provides a blueprint, not only for Nichols Hills, but surrounding communities to improve quality of life for residents and protect the environment,” Pollard said. This year’s award luncheon marks the 27th Anniversary of the Central Oklahoma Clean Cities Coalition.

Village City Manager Dave Slezickey announced the retirement of Fire Chief T.J. Hamill during a rather short, 35-minute, council meeting last week. Deputy Fire Chief Chris Brigan is to serve as interim chief of the department following Hamill’s departure. Hamill served the Village Fire Department for 23 years, the past six years as chief. He submitted his retirement on Nov. 1 and officially retires from the department on Dec. 1. “Chief Hamill’s 23 years of service to the community are greatly appreciated,” said Slezickey. “We wish him the best of luck in his future pursuits. “Deputy Chief Brigan will serve as interim chief for the near future,” said Slezickey. “I am confident in his abilities and potential but want to make sure it is what he wants.” Brigan, 43, has served with The Village Fire Department since 2006 where he held the positions of firefighter, driver, lieutenant, acting captain and deputy chief. He has spent his entire firefighting career with The Village. “I became a firefighter because I like helping people,” said Brigan. “I am former military and like the camaraderie of working at the department. “My uncle was a member of the Tulsa Fire Department,” he said. “So, helping people and a career in firefighting runs in my family.” The Village Fire Department employs 21 full time employees including 18 firefighters, a fire marshal, deputy chief and fire chief. The department has three shifts with six firefighters per shift. See VILLAGE, Page 3

Society honors Dr. Reshef Dr. Eli Reshef was honored by the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART) at the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) Expo in New Orleans. Reshef was recognized for his longtime professional and volunteer commitment to the organization. As a practicing Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility (REI) specialist for over 33 years, Reshef is championed by so many patients as “their hero” for helping dreams of a family become reality, a spokesman for the society said.

DARLA From Page 1 Carpenter’s, Darla Z’s extraordinary, silky-smooth voice has earned her international acclaim, including being named Best International Singer of the Year (2023) by Rome Movie Awards, Best International Singer by Sweet Democracy Film Awards (Cannes, France), Best Vocalist by International Sound Awards (Prague, Czech Republic), and Best Original Song by Global Film Festival Awards (Los Angeles). John Avildsen, Academy Award winning director of “Rocky,” describes Darla’s voice as “nectar to the ears!” Darla began her musical career opening in concert for Willie Nelson and since that time, she has performed repeatedly in Las Vegas where she’s worked with Wayne Newton multiple times and has starred in three public television music specials, including the globally-adored “Darla Z’s Christmas ‘Round the World.”

The Village has automatic aid agreements with Nichols Hills and a mutual aid agreement with Oklahoma City. City debuts new website City Manager Dave Slezickey announced the debut of a new website for the city during the council meeting. It was one of the first tasks asked of him when he became city manager. The site

“I’m so excited to be singing and performing in a Christmas benefit concert for the Oklahoma History Center,” Darla said. “Not only is it going to be a night filled with great Christmas music, but it will also give some Oklahomans who haven’t been to the History Center the opportunity to see just how beautiful the building is and learn first-hand the incredibly interesting artifacts and exhibits it contains. “These exhibits show just how much the people of Oklahoma’s significant and historic contributions have meant to the world and to Oklahoma,” she added. The year 2023 has been busy for Darla. A song Darla wrote and recorded, “To All the Gabbys in the World” released in June by video and on streaming services worldwide, was written to help and inspire victims of domestic abuse. “Darla takes on the dual role of lyricist and vocalist, gracing the composition with her captivatingly rich vocals and a silky timbre that lends an otherworldly charm to the lyric.” Indie Vibe 11/6/23 Review “Darla Z's contributions to

went live earlier this month. “I highly suggested it (a new website) during my interview process with the city, regardless of who they hired,” said Slezickey. “My goals were to enhance functionality, increase transparency and accessibility, make it easier to navigate, and to provide opportunities for two-way communication.” The city spent $25,000 for CivicPlus to redesign their previous website and to provide annual hosting. “CivicPlus is one of the larger

companies that tailors websites for local government,” he said. “Nichols Hills went through a thorough process in selecting them for their website and after reviewing their process, we agreed will all their results and signed on with CivicPlus. “We are very pleased with the outcome,” he said. “We launched on Nov. 2, and have a few items to migrate over and a few pages to build out, but this process is so much simpler. Everyone on our team has access and can update their pages as needed.”

Darla Z is set to perform a number of holiday favorites, as well as her award-winning song, “To All the Gabbys in the World,” during her Dec. 15 concert.

the music industry have garnered international acclaim. She has been recognized with prestigious awards, including Best International Singer, Best American Song, and Best Music Video by the8 & Halfilm Awards in Rome. As of Aug. 28, her impactful song, "To All the Gabbys in the World," has earned an astounding 35 international awards from IMDB festivals. “This powerful anthem has also resonated with audiences, amassing over 4 million views on Darla Z's official Facebook page and YouTube channel.” Indie Vibe 11/6/23 Review Darla’s song has also been

submitted for Grammy consideration for the 66th Recording Academy awards. And as a special treat during her Christmas concert, the audience can look forward to hearing her perform her award-winning song. Special guests for Darla’s upcoming Christmas concert include renowned comedian and musician Al Fike, who has shared the stage with the legendary Bob Hope, Zig Ziglar, Ricky Skaggs, Lee Greenwood and many others. Bob Hope, who Fike worked with more than once, jokingly said, “Al Fike’s a nut!”

His performance will showcase his comical talent and musical aptitude. It’s also a sure bet Santa Clause makes an appearance and give attendees who arrive early the opportunity to take a photo with him or perhaps ask him to grant their special Christmas wish. Leon Natker, director of the Oklahoma History Center Museum, is to be on hand to introduce Darla and give a brief overview about the Oklahoma History Center. Mr. Natker is no stranger to music since he’s a man who once performed live on Broadway stages in New York City. “This is the second benefit concert Darla has performed for the Oklahoma History Center and we are thrilled to welcome her back,” he said. :There’s no doubt it’s going to be a great night of Christmas music and cheer.” Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased by visiting the Oklahoma History Center’s website atokhistory.org or by calling (405) 522-0765. Doors open at 6 p.m. The event starts at 7 p.m.

Hollywood Strike Ends T

he longest strike in Hollywood history came to an end last week. After 118 days off the job, the Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, which represent the actors and performers, reached a tentative deal with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which represents the Hollywood studios. The agreement will be voted on and ratified this week by the 160,000 members of SAG-AFTRA and is expected to pass. The details of the agreement have been released and include provisions for wage increases, streaming bonuses, the use of artificial intelligence, casting and auditions, equity and inclusion, and sexual harassment prevention. The two topics that have generated the most press are streaming bonuses and artificial intelligence. Streaming services have completely upended the financial model for how actors are compensated. Salaries and bonuses used to be tied to theatrical box office and one time television viewership. The actors got a slight bump when the movies or television shows moved to cable if that was negotiated upfront. Now that streaming is the primary delivery mechanism for filmed content, a new model had to be developed for compensating actors long term. The most obvious

change in streaming to come out of the negotiations is that streaming services will now be required to submit viewership data to the guilds. Viewership info has been closely guarded by the major players for years. Giving this information up is a major win for the actors. The other key streaming provisions according to the Los Angeles Times are that performers will receive a bonus if 20% of subscribers watch their program in the first 90 days, and a fund will be created to award bonuses to additional performers. The artificial intelligence portion of the contract is the most exciting to read about because it reads like a science fiction movie. The new contract regulates the use of artificial intelligence to create a digital replica of a performer, to use a replica after the performer’s death, to match a performer’s lips to a dubbed foreign language, and to cast synthetic performers instead of human background actors. Not surprisingly, the AI portion has also received the most vocal pushback. The most outspoken critic of the deal, according to Variety, is Justine Bateman,

Empire Strikes Back Nov. 25 Very Merry Pops Dec. 13 Handel’s Messiah Dec. 3 The Nutcracker Ballet Dec. 818 Tina Turner Muscial Dec. 2631 Other Events/Shows/Awards: The Other Mozart Nov. 1617

the Emmy and Golden Globe nominated actress who played Mallory on Family Ties (1982-1989). Bateman has taken to social media to critique the AI portion of the agreement by saying that it does not do enough to protect actors from being replaced by AI. SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher has pushed back against those and other claims, also in Variety, underscoring the historic raises, the changes to streaming compensation, and the several protections related to AI. Drescher has emphasized the importance of coming together to support these new contracts and getting back to work. Fran Drescher is the Emmy and Golden Globe nominated star of The Nanny (19931999). She has worked consistently in film and television, starring in movies like The Christmas Set-Up (2020) and After Class (2019), television series including Living with Fran (20052007), Happily Divorced (2011-2013) and Indebted (2020), and the voice of “Eunice” in the Hotel Transylvania feature film series. She is a perfectly qualified actor to lead the negotiations and has received praise for her leadership. As soon as the agreements are ratified, the cast and crew members in Oklahoma working on Twisters and other union productions will be able to get back to work. That’s the best news of all.

The Cowboy unveils Code of the West interactive exhibit The National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum and Devon Energy unveiled The Cowboy’s new Code of the West interactive exhibit which is now on permanent exhibit at the Museum. The Code of the West is an interactive, wide-screen exhibition, highlighting the values of the Code of the West as written by author Jim Owen in his book Cowboy Ethics – What Wall Street Can Learn from the Code of the West. While various versions of the code exist going back to Zane Grey’s 1934 novel, The Code of the West, Owen’s version was adopted by the Museum for use in the interactive exhibit.

The nearly 30ft LED main screen features shifting images from the museum’s collection, as well as the 10 components of the code, encouraging guests to interact with one of two touchscreens on either end of the exhibit. Guests are then able to explore code, choosing the component and associated values that resonate most with them. After making their choices, guests are prompted to take their picture using embedded cameras at the interactive kiosk and add their image and chosen values to a tapestry of images on the widescreen at the center of the exhibit in real-time. Guests are also able to receive a digital file of their

custom image to share on social media, amplifying the impact of the Code of the West experience and extending its influence beyond museum walls. The new exhibit is the first in a series of projects over the next three years that are part of The Cowboy’s recently launched Live the Code capital campaign, an initiative to raise $40 million to modernize the Museum’s guest experiences and infrastructure. Major campaign efforts include transforming the Museum’s exhibits by creating best-in-the-world experiences to teach and interpret the diverse history of the West; enhanc-

ing the storage capacity and environmental conditions of the vaults that serve as the finest repository of Western and Native American art, artifacts and documents; and investing in facility and infrastructure upgrades. Learn more at LiveTheCodeCampaign.org and nationalcowboymuseum.org.

PCNorth’s Timothy Bui qualifies for National Merit N

ational Merit is a huge honor presented by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), awarding academic excellence and hard work demonstrated on the PSAT. The PSAT is a standardized test given by the College Board, testing the scholars' language, grammar, math and math without the usage of a calculator. The minimum score for merit is 1400, 300 points above average, and it’s a respectable accomplishment to reach. However, the journey must not be easy. With the practice tests, study binges, and stress that builds up over time, how do you manage yourself in preparation for such a big event? Timothy Bui, a

by Samia Shara

PANTHER PROGRESS Putnam City North senior, went against all odds and navigated his way through the tricky academic maze to be our only National Merit qualifier for the 2023-2024 school year, and for it, he was recently recognized. Bui has proven his excellence with reaching the top of this hill, and he shines a light on some of the things that helped him get there. “My parents had a past that they couldn’t enjoy because of historical events, but they’re always telling me ‘Hey, we’re here and helping out with

all of this because we didn’t have the chance to do it, so we’re giving you the chance to do it’,’” Bui said. The environment really does make an impact on you, even though it isn’t something you necessarily can always control. Even when it got hard, Bui navigated his way through the troubles and learned and gained new insights on the way there. “It isn't all about motivation. I make it into a routine. I do a little bit each day, and over time, you’ll get used to it and it will seem like nothing. I didn't do this back then, but I suggest doing this now. Take naps, and you wake up refreshed and you’re ready to go at it,” Bui said. Post-merit, you

can only imagine the adrenaline high someone would feel after achieving such a high score. Bui is no stranger to this, nor is he immune to it either. He admits that “(qualifying for Merit) definitely boosted my self confidence. I remember back in 10th grade, I was always the kid that would quadruple check my AP European History homework and all my math homework, and going into junior year that went down a lot because of all the achievements. “I thought to myself, ‘Maybe I shouldn't be worrying about myself. Maybe I actually got this' and I did,” Bui said. High schoolers aren’t given enough credit for the things they learn. They

ner-up at state. For her senior year, she is hoping to lead her team to the state champion title. • On another impressive note, Charger Pom gave a flawless performance at its regional located at Crossings Christian School. It’s the pom team’s third year as a team, as well as their third year advancing to state.

grow up in a society where standards and expectations are harsh, and classes and reality is harsher. However, high schoolers live a life unique to themselves that melts away when you become an adult. So from one high school student to another, Bui leaves us with three pieces of advice: “One, plan early. One of the biggest things I regret is not planning earlier for scholarships. I could've done so many more scholarships, I could've

done so many more useful classes … learn to plan ahead. Two, don’t do something if you don’t want to do it, and if you want to do something, commit. If you don’t you’re not going to get anywhere. Third, don’t give up midway, you have to push through. I didn't like studying for the PSAT, I hated doing it, but I had a goal, I kept it in mind, and I just pushed through it. And if you push through it, you’ll make it eventually,” Bui said.

SPC FALL CHAMPIONSHIPS

Cyclones take 2nd in field hockey With the majority of its fall sports teams moving to the Oklahoma Secondary Schools Activities Association, the Casady field hockey and boys volleyball teams continued to compete in the Southwest Preparatory Conference. The Cyclones field hockey team earned a runner-up trophy earlier this month at the SPC Fall Champioinships in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. They lost to top-seed and Trinity Valley in the championship match at Fort Worth-Country Day.

Casady reached the final with a 10 victory over Dallas Episcopal in the semifinals and a dominating 8-0 triumph against Houston Christian in the first round. Meanwhile, the boys volleyball team took fifth place with a 3-2 win over St. John’s in the consolation final hosted by Trinity Valley. The Cyclones, seeded fourth in the North Zone, endured a 3-0 loss to Houston Episcopal in the semifinals but opened with a 3-0 sweep against St. Stephen’s.

Big 2nd quarter propels Irish past Midwest City An extra week of preparation proved valuable as the McGuinness football team jumped out to a big lead by halftime and cruised to a 42-14 victory at Midwest City last Friday night in the first round of the Class 5A playoffs. The Irish (7-3) broke the game open with four touchdowns in the second quarter to lead 35-7 at the break at Rose Field. Quarterback Damon Cochran II accounted for three touchdowns in the second period, throwing a 20-yard pass to Peter Bilicki and two more to Nathan Steiner for 61 and nine years. Tailback J.R Fletcher opened the contest at Rose Field with a short 5-yard run and Bilicki added a 13-yard run. Cochran and Fletcher put the finishing touch on a dominating victory when the duo hooked up for a 14yard touchdown pass.

News

Oklahoma City FRIDAY, Friday, November 17, 2023, Page 9

Enough By Cassidy Hutchinson “Breaking news” dominated the last years of the Trump presidency to the point that readers were confused as to what was authentic and what was fake news. This is the book to read for the account from a young 25-year-old special assistant to President Donald Trump and his chief of staff, Mark Meadows. Cassidy Hutchinson’s desk was just steps away from that of the president and the powerful people who came and went through the doors to the Oval Office. Cassidy is an extremely bright and idealistic girl whose fascination with America and its history were the magnet to her ambition in college.

She was the first member of her family to graduate from college and against all odds landed the job of her dreams with the ‘Trump for President’ people. Her work for that organization fitted her for the opportunities of a lifetime, becoming 24/7. What came out of that is firsthand knowledge mixed with a strong dose of loyalty to the Trump administration and to her continued love of the United States of America. Cassidy had become intrigued with politics as a child after her first visit to Washington D.C. With no connections or strings attached, she landed a job for which she was extremely well qualified but she also found herself in the middle of January 6th by becoming a key witness and revealing what was said and evolved revealing what really happened during the January political calamity. She was brave but determined to “get it right”

for our country regardless of where the chips would fall for her. Answering the call of governmental subpoenas, she became a lone voice of speaking out for what really happened that could be verified, proved and stand the test of time. The rest is history. People have been shocked by many of the revelations from her, but overwhelmingly she found support from others involved in the debacle. There were, however Trumpers who caused her to accept security protection, separate from her family and friends and begin to consider her opportunities for future employment. Becoming a pivotal witness in the unfolding saga carried many pitfalls as well as heart swelling times of gratitude to those from both parties who came forward with encouragement and praise. Cassidy Hutchinson may seem a little young to be publishing mem-

oirs filled with being a patriot or a danger to her country. She very capably speaks out for American democracy concerning the events that surrounded the attempt to overturn the democratic election. She thoughtfully considered loyalty to her party or loyalty to her country. This was not an easy choice because of her strong attachments to friends. She struggled to come forward with her testimony, and when she did her testimony stunned the nation. Enough is a fascinating read for students of modern history, or those who have interests in political careers, whichever party of their choice (or possibly even start a third party). The rewards and perks are many but the stresses and strains require unbelievable strengths. Cassidy Hutchinson’s own experience speaks to all. Thanks to Full Circle Bookstore for sharing this book with FRIDAY readers.

FRIDAY in Alaska Charles and Jeanne Gamble took OKC FRIDAY on an Alaska cruise through the Inside Passage that included whale watching, glaciar visits, and a tour into the Yukon with a ride on the 125-year-old White Pass & Yukon Railroad. The land tour took them from Whittier to Anchorage by observation train. After a day in Anchorage, they traveled to Denali on a historic observation train. The trip concluded with a day in Fairbanks. The Gambles call it “a completely wonderful adventure.” Be sure to pack OKC FRIDAY when you travel. Email photos to rose@okcfriday.com.

Douthitt earns the rank of Eagle Laura Dawn Rae Douthitt, age 17, has earned the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest rank within the Boy Scouts of America program. She is a member of Troop 6201 chartered to Covenant Presbyterian Church in Oklahoma City, under the direction of Scoutmaster Jed Douthitt. Laura Dawn demonstrated leadership to others in a service project benefitting Covenant Presbyterian Church where she created a food Pantry, Angel Armoire, to service those in the community with food insecurities. Oklahoma is one of the hungriest states in the nation. One in six (17 percent) Oklahoman adults and seniors are food insecure, and 1 in 4 (25 percent) Oklahoma children are food insecure. Laura Dawn was the first member of Troop 6201 and she plans to continue being involved in Scouting. A favorite memory is completing a 12-day trek at Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. She believes that “Leadership is Action, not Position”- D.H. McGannon. Her parents are Jed and Terri Douthitt.

Mayor Holt lists reasons to vote yes on Dec. 12 Oklahoma City needs to keep its momentum going by supporting a new arena. Passing MAPS in 1993 helped set a course for our city’s positive direction. That is when we voted to support our current arena, and today, 30 years later, it is time to again invest MAYOR DAVID HOLT in ourselves. The benefits of an arena with an NBA team and tier one events are numerous. Our economy, our image, and our quality of life are all tied to a vibrant arena. Economically, one cannot argue with the benefits of an arena in a community our size.

Data gathered from the Federal Reserve shows that the economic production in our metro region is up 62% since the Thunder arrived, significantly outdistancing the growth similar sized, but non-Big League Cities, have seen. If you compare us to Tulsa, Albuquerque, Louisville, and others it is easy to see that our economy has grown faster and a key difference is the presence of a big league franchise. A recent report reveals an annual economic impact of more than half of a billion dollars and the creation of 3,000 jobs. A new arena can be expected to exceed those numbers and the construction jobs alone will eclipse 9,000. Not only has being a Big League City changed how we perceived ourselves, but it has enhanced how the nation and even the world view our city. Our community is full of stories of people hearing about the Thunder in far away lands, and we know it has helped our economic development efforts as there are companies who now view OKC in a different light than they did before we had an NBA franchise. Building a new arena will secure our status as a big league city through the year 2050 and

beyond. The Thunder, which is currently playing here on a short-term lease, have agreed to sign a 25-year lease to play in the new arena. It is simply an investment we have to make. And, we can make it without an increase in the tax rate. A new arena, however, is not just about basketball. Every month, we have world-class shows, and that will only grow with a new arena. The truth is, our current arena is simply not equipped (it has the smallest square footage of any NBA arena) to host today’s larger shows. That’s why, too often, great acts choose Tulsa over OKC because their arena is larger. A new arena will take away this disadvantage and we can bring these acts to us, and bring-in those tourism dollars following them. Making this an easier decision is the goodwill our city leaders have built over the last 30 years. Under the my leadership – and that of previous administrations – we have seen a wise investment of our tax dollars and planning that allows us to build a new arena without a tax increase. OKC’s renaissance is the envy many other cities.
