Building Commission designed to preserve NHill’s original vision

GRAND PRIZE OKCGCC chef wins prestigious cook-off crown

By Gordon Walker Special to OKC FRIDAY

By Ashley Haley Staff Writer The Nichols Hills City Council unanimously approved the creation of a Nichols Hills Building Commission, an ordinance designed to preserve the city’s original vision and ensure construction meets general guidelines.

The mission of the new building commission is to establish building, moving, demolition, design and construction guidelines. It will also determine a review process through which applicants seek certificates of approval in order to remove or demolish a building, construct a new building or to significantly remodel an existing building.

Nichols Hills City Council passed the ordinance which states that the building commission is to consist of five commissioners, two of whom should be Nichols Hills residents, who would be registered architects, landscape architects, urban planners, general building contractors and engineers. The commissioners serve staggered three-year terms and the city council can remove a commissioner at any time.

The ordinance is effective Dec.1, and the Nichols Hills Planning Commission acts as the building commission until commissioners are appointed.

Nichols Hills Mayor Steve Goetzinger said the concept of a building commission is not new to the City of Nichols Hills, as the city had a commission many years ago. He said he believes this will help the city encourage See NHILLS, Page 3

Chef Marc Guizol has been leaving palates happy around here since he arrived in the spring.

He made an even bigger impression on the judges at the Oklahoma Restaurant Association’s 23rd Annual Culinary Cook-Off, carrying home the top prize.

Guizol, who came to town in April as executive chef at Oklahoma City Golf & Country Club, survived three intense rounds of competition, even knocking out the defending champion in the semifinal heat.

The competition was part of the 82nd Annual ORA Expo, held at the Bennett Event Center at State Fair Park. Guizol outdueled Chef Peter Finnegan of Ludivine in the finals, having outlasted defending champion Danh Do of Gogi Go in the semifinals.

A total of 12 participants were selected for competition, which was the centerpiece of the two-day 2019 ORA Expo. The annual Cook-Off features a battle of Oklahoma’s most talented culinar-

ians in an Iron Chefstyle competition as they race the clock to create plated delights.

Competition organizers provide a pantry of basic ingredients, such as dairy, starches and other staples,

but then competitors must also work in a specified mystery basket of ingredients. In the final round, Guizol and Finnegan had to work in unique See CHEF, Page 2

MAPs 4 could go to City Council vote as early as Tuesday

By Rose Lane Editor The Oklahoma City Council could vote on the 16-part MAPs 4 proposal as early as Tuesday.

Mayor David Holt said if approved by the council, the package could then go to the vote of the people in December.

“It is a broad package that meets a lot of needs,” Holt said. “But, we can do all 16 of these things without raising taxes.”

Dividing the proposal up into four “buckets,” he said MAPs 4 would address neighborhood and human needs, quality of life and jobs. It replaces the 1-cent sales tax earmarked for

streets when it expires in March 2020, therefore not raising taxes and maintaining the city’s current sales tax rate of 8.625 percent.

As in previous MAPs initiatives, Holt said the city will “pay as we go” and not accrue debt.

The MAPs 4 sales tax would be in effect for eight years and is expected to

FRIDAY’s Village Animal Shelter

Rescue Dog of the Week Bruce is a favorite with the dog walkers at The Village shelter. He has a fun personality and at 85 pounds, can be the one walking the walker. But, he is really improving with every outing.

He will be neutered this week and has all vaccinations. Bruce is heartworm negative, wormed and around 5-years-old.

Bruce has some spunk, but also some chill. He came in with a female and will be with other dogs after his neuter.

Please make an appointment with Bryan Balenseifen at the Village city shelter. Call 7519518 or Becky at 751-4903. The fee is $45. The shelter is closed on weekends.

Kiplinger names OCU Best Value Kiplinger announced Oklahoma City University as one of its 400 Best College Values for 2019. OCU was ranked highest among private universities in the state.

Kiplinger, a Washington, D.C.-based publisher of business forecasts and personal finance advice, makes the list based on objective measurements of academic quality and affordability. Introduced in 1998, the rankings now combine public schools, private universities and private liberal arts colleges into a single, comprehensive list.

Kiplinger also ranks the best values

in each category.

“Our rankings — which weigh affordability alongside academic quality — are designed to help families see how their full array of college options stack up,” said Kaitlin Pitsker, associate editor of Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine.

“We start with a universe of nearly 1,200 schools, then trim the list based on measures of academic quality, cost and financial aid data. This year’s list features recurring winners, as well as rising stars and new additions, all of which are worth a look.”

The full rankings are now available

online at kiplinger.com/links/col leges and will appear in print in the September 2019 issue of Kiplinger’s Personal Finance, on newsstandsn ow.

This year, Thomas Aquinas College takes the No. 1 spot on the overall list, followed by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and then Swarthmore College.

Princeton University, which topped last year’s list, comes in behind Yale at fifth overall.

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is ranked best public college for the 18th consecutive time.

Councilwoman Sody Clements also said she was excited about the appointment of the commission.

“This is probably the best thing we’ve ever done since I’ve been on city council,” she said.

In other city business, the council approved an ordinance to change the two-stop intersection at Belford Avenue and Trenton Road to an all-stop intersection.

“A citizen requested this last month,” said Nichols Hills City Manager Shane Pate. “The police department reviewed it

and the staff, and we think it’s a good idea.”

The council opened the item to public comment and a Nichols Hills resident said although there are many intersections like the one at Belford Avenue and Trenton Road in the city, traffic flows better when there is an all-stop intersection rather than a two-stop intersection.

Lastly, the council honored employee Kristi Hort, who is retiring as a city employee after recently being diagnosed with ALS. “As you’re aware, Nichols Hills has been the beneficiary of Kristi’s financial and record keeping vigilance for nearly 10 years. In that time, Kristi has helped the city’s administration

develop and implement a number of policies including the budgeting and financial policies, which was a major effort that she adhered to,” Pate said.

Hort was awarded the Oklahoma Municipal Retirement Fund George F. Wilkinson Award by Executive Director Jodi Cox. “Not only is Kristi my friend, but she portrays all of George’s attributes. You stood up for all of your employees, you watched over the retirement system for the last 10 years and I’ve known you for 19. I’m so honored to be here tonight,” Cox said.

The next Nichols Hills City Council meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 10 at 5:30 p.m.

Life’s outtakes: A flood of procrastination

By Daris Howard Columnist I was just leaving my office at the university when the hail hit. It was the size of marbles, and it really hurt. I raced for my van. Once inside, the hail fell so hard I thought it was going to break the windows. It did leave some small dents in the roof.

As I started on my way, the hail changed to rain that came down as if someone was pouring a giant bucket of water out of the sky. Before I had gone half a mile, the water was so deep in the streets that it was nearly up to the door of my van. Yet, only a couple of miles further, there was not a drop of rain at all. The storm dropped a couple of inches of rain in only an hour or two, but its path was only about three miles wide.

The university town where I work was probably hit the hardest. Water running down the hill flowed into campus buildings, apartments, and houses all over town. When the rain stopped, everyone moved quickly to help each other.

The next day, class work was nearly impossible, as everyone had a tale to tell. David said his apartment was on a second floor and untouched, so he had set out to help others. He organized a group of boys who went to apartments that had basement stairwells. He would yell to the apartment tenants, “Don’t open your door until we bucket out the stairwell.”

At the first two apartments,

the tenants opened their doors and asked, “What?” The water then flooded in. After that, he would wade waste deep into the sewage-filled water and hold the doorknob until the occupants of the apartment understood his request. Then he and the other boys would work quickly to empty the stairwell. Many good deeds were performed, and the damage was far less than it could have been.

But Tanya didn’t have a happy story to tell. In fact, she was the opposite of happy.

“I had been driving into Rexburg when the storm hit,” she said. “The water came so fast that my car started to stutter and to stall. I hoped I could keep it running until I made it up the hill to my apartment.

When I came to the roundabout, I had to stop — not for another car, but for an idiot who was paddling a kayak around and around it, and wasn’t even signaling.”

“I don’t think kayaks have signals,” I replied.

“Well, I just about ran over the moron,” she said. “And when I finally got past the roundabout and headed up the hill, here came a whole gang of stupid people sailing down the flooded street on inner tubes. I tried to dodge them and finally stopped, but they were totally out of control and banged into my car and everything. Then I couldn’t get my car going again and had to leave it until later.”

When she finished, John raised his hand. When I called

on him, he was all smiles. “Well,” he said, “I think that the flood was an answer to my prayers.”

“It has been awful dry,” I answered, “and we definitely needed rain, but I wouldn’t say we needed that much rain.”

“Oh, I wasn’t thinking about that at all,” he replied. “I hadn’t had time to study for your test and I was sure I would fail it.

But since it was closing last night, I had to take it anyway. I was in line at the testing center, waiting to get in when the water started swirling around my ankles. The test center people yelled for everyone to leave, saying our teachers would have to make allowances for us. And now that you have had to open the test for a couple more days, I have time to study.”

Two days later, after the test had closed, we met again for class. I asked, “So, John, did you ace the test with the two extra days to study?”

John rolled his eyes. “No. God answered my prayer for more time to study by flooding the whole campus, and I still failed.

But I learned something even more important.”

“What?” I asked.

“I learned that no matter how much time I have, I will always find ways to procrastinate until it’s gone.”

We give good advice to public officials at federal, state and local levels, and society in general, on what to do right. So, if they don’t take our advice, it’s not our fault.

Tribes support local nonprofits, arts, schools help sustain the community

W

e can think of several reasons why we would object to the state raising its tax percentage of tribal

gaming.

The first is when the state legislature ran out of money to spend it cut every budget by the same percentage across the board, instead of prioritizing the most critical needs. A most cowardly thing to do.

At the same time the Chickasaw Nation

and Governor Bill Anoatubby came to the rescue of almost every nonprofit and arts organization in their lands.

The tribes have built hospitals, schools tourist attractions and met the needs of our most critical agencies.

We were not surprised when Governor Anaotubby was voted the “Most Powerful Oklahoman” in our statewide poll the first time, and he continues to reign there.

The Oklahoman said, “The Education Reform Revolving Fund (1017 Fund) ... this past fiscal year, received nearly $116 million, while about $16 million went into the General Revenue Fund, where it can be appropriated by the Oklahoma Legislature.”

The exclusivity agreement with the tribes keeps out chain casinos, like Harrah’s. How much do you think they would give locally?

We believe in the generosity of the Tribes.

County is anxious to open Deer Creek roads Road Supervisor Ron Cardwell is anxious to close a detour in Deer Creek. We are currently waiting for material to open a section on Merid-

ian between Danforth and Covell, where the Deer Creek bridge was washed out during the June floods.

Once our road crew can work on the bridge there, it will be top priority. We anticipate that road will be open once again by late September.

Schools are starting again and that means football games, cooler weather, and holidays are around the corner.

Our district is home to several Public School Districts, including OKC, Edmond, Putnam City, and Deer Creek, in addition to private schools such as St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, St. Eugene, Christ the King, Heritage Hall, Casady, and Crossings Christian. Given this time of year brings much more driving, I would like parents driving on county roads to be aware of the traffic situation as we kick off a new school year.

Students

Fridaylanders spend summer doing research at OMRF

GRACE DUGINSKI

ASHLEY GIN

Four Fridayland students have completed eight weeks of research as Sir Alexander Fleming Scholars at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation in Oklahoma City.

Fleming Scholars work with senior scientists on in-depth, individual research projects. At the end of the summer, the students write scientific papers and present their research results in formal seminars for OMRF’s scientific staff.

Since 1956, the Fleming Scholar program has provided in-state high school and college students a one-ofa-kind opportunity to get real-world experience in a research environment.

“I was drawn to the Fleming program because I get to do hands-on research,” said Grace Duginski, a Bishop McGuiness alum and biomedical engineering student at the University of Oklahoma. “This has been instrumental in helping me figure out what I want to do in the future.”

Duginski is looking at how chromosomes find each other and separate in cell division in OMRF’s Cell Cycle and Cancer Biology Research Program with Roberto Pezza, Ph.D. Claire Abbott, a Heritage Hall alum, echoed the sentiment.

“I love the chance to be in a real lab setting,” said Abbott, a biology major at San Diego State University.

“Sure you do stuff in labs in school, but this is real and impactful. It’s fun to know what you’re working on can

make a difference.”

Abbott’s summer project centers on collagen turnover in young and old mice to see how it affects muscle function. Her mentor is Ben Miller, Ph.D., in OMRF’s Aging and Metabolism Research Program.

Ashley Gin, a Putnam City North grad and biochemistry and molecular biology major at Oklahoma State University, is working with Susannah Rankin, Ph.D., on factors that help chromosomes divide correctly during cell division.

Gin said she has always wanted to be a veterinarian, but this experience has opened up new possibilities. “I have fallen in love with the research side of science, and I would love to find ways to bridge human and animal medicine.”

In the lab with Rheal Towner, Ph.D., Deer Creek graduate Sarah Morris is investigating whether a brain cancer drug developed at OMRF can potentially also be used to treat multiple sclerosis.

“I was already pretty sure research is what I want to do the rest of my life,” said Morris, a senior at Clemson University. “This experience has absolutely confirmed it.”

OMRF’s Fleming Scholar Program has served as a launching pad for hundreds of Oklahoma students seeking science-based careers.

The Julie O. Bramble Chair in Elementary Education was awarded to Sharon Marion, educational support services.

The endowment honors a Lower School (PS-4) teacher who demonstrates a nurturing approach, a deep passion for learning, and an unwavering devotion to students.
