The City Code decrees that before any dwelling in Nichols Hills can be razed, an approved building permit and construction documents for a replacement house must be filed with City Hall. Also, “It is in the best interest of all residents in the City that a lot not remain vacant for an extended length of time,” a municipal ordinance provides.

Newly elected Vice Mayor Sody Clements, for one, has expressed deep concerns for at least a year and a half about the destruction of older houses in the community.

Nichols Hills,” she said in November 2017.

“I’m interested in protecting the Tudor bungalows and the one-story houses we have,” she told her City Council colleagues during its May 14 meeting.

Anne Treadwell Henderson agreed.

“I hate to see some of these old houses torn down.”

“This issue is turning out to be bigger than I anticipated,” Clements said at the last council meeting.

“We might need a special meeting” to cover all of the relevant topics, she said, and newly elected Mayor Steven Goetzinger concurred.

Goetzinger said he wants to discuss issues with two-story houses that overlook neighboring one-story residences and thus potentially have a view into a neighbor’s back yard or swimming pool or perhaps inside the home.

“I also recognize that people invest a lot of money in houses and lots, and alterations to

the rules might adversely affect them financially.”

Councilman Peter Hoffman Jr. also endorsed a special meeting. He recommends creation of a design review committee “to deal comprehensively with all of our building-related issues,” such as the size of a house relative to the size of the lot on which it is located, the height of the residence, front-yard, back-yard and side-yard setbacks, etc.

“All of these issues are interconnected,” he said.

Nichols Hills has approximately 1,850 homes comprising “approximately 25 to 28 types of architecture,” Hoffman said,

“but new construction has to be something in keeping and in sync with the community; it needs to be tasteful and pleasing.” A design review board “could work with the homeowner, the architect and the builder” to iron out any wrinkles “before the process gets too far along.”

“In the past, we have had a wide assortment of attendees at meetings when these topics were considered,” City Manager Shane Pate said.

“We have had developers, homebuilders, interested homeowners, architects and real estate brokers at these meetings,” he said.

“Anyone from the public is, of course, welcome to attend.”

Sports Weekly Bogert steps down as tennis coach at HHall

By Jason Jewell Sports Editor Citing the need to focus more attention on his bergeoning business interests, Brian Bogert decided to step down as the boys tennis coach at Heritage Hall after the recently completed 2018-19 season.

“I spend close to 60 hours a week coaching tennis, and felt like it’s taking me away too much from my day job,” Bogert said. “I’ve accomplished what I set out to do (at Heritage Hall) so it’s time to step away.”

Since taking over the program in 2011, Bogert has led the Chargers to eight

state championsips, including the last six straight.

“In the 13 years before I took over, we hadn’t won a state championship,” Bogert said. “My goal was to bring back a winning culture to the program.”

Heritage Hall shared the state title in 2011, followed by outright championships in 2012 and 2014-2019.

The main thing Bogerts prides himself on is developing and getting to know his players as individuals.

“I’ve always tried to get our players to believe that they can do something they’ve never even thought about doing before,” the coach said.

Another goal has been to develop a team-oriented approach to a largely individual sport.

“We’ve preached to our players about thinking of the team before themselves,” Bogert said. “Our guys play harder for their teammates than they do for themselves.”

One of Bogert’s most special moments came in the 2014 state tournament.

Heritage Hall was down two points and needed a win in the No. 2 doubles final against Cascia Hall to claim the team title. Truitt Maxwell and J.T. Zerby had already lost to Cascia Hall earlier in the season but won a tough three-set

BRIAN BOGERT

match for the state title.

“That was one of the coolest celebrations and best moments for me at state,” Bogert said.

Michael Biscoff is set to

success Bogert as the new boys coach for next season.

“Coaching at Heritage Hall is a different animal, but I know Michael and (assistant) Logan (Collins) will do great,” Bogert said.

A 1995 Heritage Hall graduate, Bogert won two state singles titles and was part of four state championship winning teams.

He is co-founder of The Social Order Dining Collective, which operates 10 restaurants around the OKC metro area, including The Jones Assembly and Fuzzie’s Taco Shop. They are also preparing to launch several new concept ideas in the coming months, he said.

JM’s Cudjoe reaches milestone 400th victory

By Scott Wanish Special to FRIDAY The John Marshall boys basketball team accumulated a robust 23-5 record this season making it to the state semifinals.

Along with the hard work of the Bears, the hoopsters were led by veteran head coach Patrick Cudjoe.

Cudjoe, who has been a head coach for 27 years, hit a milestone at the end of the 2017-18 season by achieving his 400th victory. He is 430-303 in his career with a 2009 Class 4A state title while at Star Spencer.

That state championship came over a loaded McGuinness squad that possessed eventual University of Kentucky standout and NBA player Daniel Orton.

So with a mountain-load of 430 victories, is triumph No. 500 the ensuing step?

“Ahhhh, it’s going to take awhile,” Cudjoe said laughingly.

“That’s not a goal and definitely not my focus. My focus right now is working with players to improve next year’s team.

“We have the task of combining Centennial High School players with ours. We have the most extensive summer league and my focus is on player development.”

John Marshall will attend Oklahoma State’s team camp this summer.

The success Patrick had surmounting over 400 wins did not come without bumps in the road. Though it takes numerous 20-plus victory seasons in 27 years to reach 430,

John Marshall basketball coach Patrick Cudjoe encourages his players during a timeout last season.

Cudjoe once reflected on being a coach altogether.

“There were some lean years in there too,” he said. “One year I was 3-20 and I was trying to question if I was in the right profession. I had to keep grinding and had to build endurance. I had to continue to learn the game from the ground up.

“I had some really good mentors in Dan Hays (longtime Oklahoma Christian University coach) and Lance Cudjoe, my brother at Star Spencer. We talk a lot of basketball.

“Being a Christian doesn’t guarantee you an easy life and being a coach doesn’t guarantee you will win too.

“I’m glad I had those down times. It is a blessing to have those lean years to appreciate the good years. You try to learn all the aspects of the coaching profession and extract all the positives from it.”

Cudjoe passes on these same life principles as an English teacher and a coach.

“I love teaching English as much as I teach basketball and work just as hard at it,” Cudjoe said. “Kids

have to understand you have to work hard in every aspect of your life. There is a direct correlation of work in the classroom and on the court. You have to try to achieve excellence in every area.”

Cudjoe has come full circle, beginning his coaching career as an assistant to Charles Davis in 1987-88 at John Marshall to taking the head coaching job at Carl Albert (19912001), Star Spencer (’01-2015) and the head skipper at John Marshall (’15-present).

He is a Northeast High School and Langston University graduate.

“I desire to continue to learn,” he stated. “I adore teaching English; I want the kids that don’t play basketball to know that I’m their English teacher just as much as I am their basketball coach.”

Cudjoe was the Little All-City and Region 8 Coach of the Year in ’09.

“At the end of the day, I feel I am lucky because I get the opportunity to teach English and basketball every day and I get to do it at a great school with some great people,” he concluded.

Navy Week brings Sailors to OKC Navy Week events draw thousands of attendees to participate and create a dialogue between Sailors and local residents. The events are designed to raise awareness about the Navy in areas that do not have a large naval presence.

“Oklahoma City has historically been a great area for the Navy Week program,” said Lt. John Stevens, lead planner for the Oklahoma City Navy Week. “This marks the sixth Oklahoma City Navy Week and it’s unique this year because it’s the first time we’ll be here for the Star Spangled Salute. In the past we’ve participated in the Oklahoma State Fair and Navy Days in the fall.”

During OKC Navy Week (May 27 through June 2), Assistant Secretary of the Navy Greg Slavonic and Rear

Adm. Jeff Trussler, director of future plans at the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, will serve as senior representatives. They will meet with corporate, civic, education and government leaders throughout the week in an effort to increase awareness of the Navy, its mission and the importance of the Navy to the people of Oklahoma City.

“It's always an honor to go back to your home state, especially when it's Oklahoma City,” said Slavonic, the principal Navy Week host. “It’s a city that has such a Navy heritage to it -- a cruiser named in its honor, a submarine named in its honor -and a state that's got a battleship named after it.”

“Oklahoma has a long history of supporting the Navy,” added Slavon-

ic. “We've had many famous individuals from Oklahoma, like Adm. Jocko Clark and several civic leaders who have distinguished themselves in the military.”

Adm. Joseph J. “Jocko” Clark (1893-1971) was a Pryor Creek, Okla., native and Citizen of the Cherokee Nation. He commanded USS Yorktown (CV 10) and later Carrier Task Group 58.1 during World War II in the Pacific and commanded U.S. Seventh Fleet during the Korean War. He received the Navy Cross for his actions in command of TG 58.1 and became an honorary chief in both the Sioux and Cherokee Nations.

Some of the major highlights during the week include the Navy’s Blue Angels at the Star Spangled

Salute Air Show at Tinker Air Force Base, a virtual reality experience provided by Navy Recruiting District Dallas and Wreath Laying Ceremony at the OKC City Bombing Memorial.

During Navy Week, Sailors will be participating in community relations projects with multiple YMCAs, Central Oklahoma Habitat for Humanity and reading to children during “Story Times” at multiple local libraries.

OKC Navy Week is one of only 14 Navy Weeks in 2019 that focus a variety of equipment and personnel in a single city for a weeklong series of engagements designed to bring America’s Navy closer to the people it protects. For a full schedule of events, visit outreach.navy.mil.

cademic honors are bestowed as a recognition of outstanding achievements to students.

They also serve as a means to further encourage academic participation. They are awarded to every student that is deemed worthy of deserving them.

The Academic Awards Assembly has been around for as long as PC North has been a school.

Teachers in varying subjects nominate their own students to receive an award.

Activities director Kathy Kutch has been in charge of organizing the award proceedings since 2016.

“Academic awards are given in almost all subject areas by teachers,” she said.

“For example, outstanding AP Literature students, outstanding English I student, etc.”

Every student in every grade has a chance of being recognized for their academic achievements.

The only requirement needed is to be an outstanding and hardworking student.

Students of all grades got a chance to shine as the Academic Awards Assembly took place.

“I was very surprised when I found out I was supposed to be receiving an award,” junior Kassidy Crockett said.

“It really reflected to me how hard I worked this school

year.”

Every academic department and subsequent classes had students that received an award for their outstanding work in that particular class. In the beginning of the ceremony, several seniors were announced as recipients of scholarships from the rotary club. One scholarship winner was Caprie Gordon.

“To be given such recognition for something that I worked so hard for made me

really proud,” Gordon said.

Senior Kayla Booker was awarded two certificates — one for being the coeditor-in-chief for the school newspaper and the other for being an outstanding student in business management.

“It was honor to be recognized and awarded by two of my teachers who I admire and appreciate very much,” Booker said.

Overall the Academic Awards Assembly succeeded in acknowledging the students that flourish in school, not through sports, or the arts, but just through good oldfashioned hard work and learning achievement.

during their time at McGuinness, and everyone wishes

them the best of luck in college and the rest of their life.

A better Memorial Day Reprinted from OKC FRIDAY, May 28, 2010

T

HE MAIN OBJECTIVE of Memorial Day, other than special remembrance of family and friends not with us any more, is to pay patriotic remembrance to those who have served in our nation’s military.

If you’re anyplace where there are several persons nowadays, what happens when someone appears in military uniform?

Invariably, you’ll see total strangers walk up to the soldier, sailor, airman or marine in his or her American uniform to offer a handshake of thanks for what he or she is doing, serving our country, for the rest of us.

Even folks who are ideologues against our military effort in Iraq and Afghanistan, do show their appreciation

The Best of J. Leland Gourley Reprinted from OKC FRIDAY

for our young men and women under arms.

Or even for a veteran, who may be identified by a lapel pin or a ball cap as a former military person, can expect a show of gratitude from others.

Well, it has not always been like that, we regret to say.

Remember Jane Fonda?

She was one of the ring leaders who had the unfortunate stance of blaming the service personnel for America’s participa-

tion in the Vietnam war.

She worked up such a public frenzy that thousands of otherwise normal Americans turned their wrath on the men and women who served in our military effort in Vietnam.

As that conflict ended and our service personnel came home, they were greeted with verbal insults, loud taunts and disgust.

What a terrible thing to do to persons who were simply serving their military duty for their country, and yes, the taunters, too.

May those days never again happen in our great country.

So, right now, in addition to taking the opportunity to express our gratitude to our service personnel, let us thank God for the healthy, moral, decent attitude that prevails in America today.

A novel diagnostic tool for heart disease INTEGRIS Heart Hospital is the first health care facility in Oklahoma City to adopt the HeartFlow Analysis, a first-of-its-kind non-invasive technology to aid physicians in the diagnoses of coronary artery disease (CAD), the most common form of heart disease.

“Historically, we have been faced with either using tests that were frequently inaccurate or putting a patient through an invasive procedure just to determine whether they would need another invasive procedure to restore blood flow,” said George Chrysant, M.D., Interventional Cardiologist and Chief Medical Officer of INTEGRIS Heart Hospital. “The HeartFlow Analysis completely changes this paradigm, providing essential information that can help us determine the right approach for a patient through a convenient, non-invasive platform.”

The HeartFlow Analysis takes data from a patient’s non-invasive coronary CTA and leverages deep learning to create a personalized, digital 3D model of the patient’s coronary arteries.

It then uses powerful computer algorithms to simulate blood flow and assess the impact of blockages on blood flow to the heart. Within hours, the HeartFlow Analysis is provided to the patient’s physician via a secure web interface, and provides information on the extent of a patient’s arterial blockage and the impact the blockage has on blood flow to the heart.

The HeartFlow Analysis has been used for over 30,000 patients with suspected heart disease. Additionally, in clinical trials, using the HeartFlow Analysis helped identify which patients do and do not need invasive treatment.

The use of the HeartFlow Analysis also reduced the cost of care by 26% compared to usual care.

“The HeartFlow Analysis will help us develop the most appropriate treatment plan for a patient with coronary artery disease without the need for unnecessary and stressful procedures,” Chrysant said. “This is game-changing technology that will be beneficial for both our patients and the organization.”

OKC Navy Days supports local sailors Fairy Ball at twilight time The 14th Annual OKC Navy Days will take place June 4-23.

The mission of the program is to recognize the US Navy’s presence, investment and contributions within our community, as well as providing support for the Sailors and their families stationed in Oklahoma City.

OKC is home to 1,200 active duty sailors assigned to the Strategic Communications Wing One (TACAMO) at Tinker Air Force Base. There

are also Navy recruiters and Navy reservists throughout the metropolitan area.

The annual economic impact of the US Navy in our community is estimated to be well over $100 million.

“Thanks to the support of many individuals and the corporate community, we have been able to host a variety of events for our Sailors the past fourteen years,” said Mike McAuliffe, founder of OKC Navy Days. “We are honored to say Oklahoma City

is a Navy town!”

The 2019 OKC Navy Days activities for Sailors and their families include the Gardner Tanenbaum Holdings Navy Golf Classic, Oklahoma BBQ Festival and the OKC Holiday Festival on the Oklahoma River. OKC Navy Days also provides Oklahoma State Fair tickets for sailor’s children every year.

For additional information contact Mike McAuliffe,mike@okc. events or okcnavyweek.com.

Paseo artists invite children and their parents to a gathering at twilight on June 22, from 7-9 p.m. This is a dress up event for children where they can wear fanciful costumes and step inside a magical time of their own making. Colorful light, music and dance delight all ages on this summer’s eve in the Crown Jewel Amphitheater at First Christian Church which is located at 3700 N Walker.

The wonder making begins at home as each child finds/makes a costume to wear to the Fairy Ball. Make one from the resources you have at your fingertips. Parents join your children, become part of a treasure hunt to find forgotten

fancies tucked away in closets, old trunks, dusty boxes and attics.

Families can also take a trip to a local thrift store and rag-pick vintage clothing, formals and whatnots. Intriguing keepsakes with their own stories can be discovered and designed into fun costumes.

“Children transport our Fairy Ball. This experience offers a spark in a child’s creative development.

Here, they can express themselves through music and dance”, says Lorrie Keller, director of StarDanceSwan and creator of the Ball. On this summer’s eve the Fairy Ball will come to life with characters found in a garden.

Fanciful bugs, blos-

soms, elves, fairies, moon makers, dragons, comets and whatever can be dreamed will be welcomed through our summer garden gate.

The Fairy Ball is free to the public; donations are appreciated to help offset the costs of the evening.

Children must be accompanied by an adult. In the event of inclement weather, a rain date will be announced for a later time. The Fairy Ball is made possible through the support of the Oklahoma Arts Council, Paseo Arts Association and Theatre Upon a StarDanceSwan. For more information call the Paseo Arts Association at (405) 525-2688 or go to thepaseo.org.

Oklahoma City FRIDAY, Friday, May 24, 2019, Page B7

Women with ‘stunning’ achievements honored by Panhellenic W eaving my way through a crowd at the Greater Oklahoma City Alumnae Panhellenic Women of the Year Luncheon to my table number, those seated pointed to a place card.

Apparently, since my name was written on it, I was to sit there. Nobody else at our table had a designation. Sally Stringer laughed and said, “You must be a really big deal.”

You who know me, know that’s not it, I am always lost! So, instead of dropping cupcake crumb trails or tying a big furry guide dog to my wrist, they thought this might get me to the correct place, and since I am “press,” they can place me anywhere.

“She Leaves a little Sparkle Wherever She Goes” was the adorable theme for the luncheon, sprinkled on table numbers, party favors, the curtains, and even edible sparkle on our desserts. This whimsy came under the direction of Kathleen Stevenson (president) and Claudia Robertson and Melanie Russell (event chairmen) – and so many crafty glitter folks – I know Lauren Robertson was one!

Being honored or supporting their friends were Wendy Simpson, Michelle Nesbitt, Alison Counts, Linda Keefe, Deanna Pendleton, Peggy Burris, Betsy Hyde, Susie Smith, Marca Floyd, Susan Dobson and Alice Dahlgren.

Honorees were Zeta Tau Alpha’s honoree Sara Hays Johnston, Sigma Kappa’s Penny Mills Voss, Pi Beta Phi’s Dee Rippetoe Richardson, Phi Mu’s Leslie Ann Long, and Kappa Kappa Gamma’s Leigh Ann Ebert Albers.

Proudly taking the stage were Becky Yancey Slovacek of Kappa Delta, Susie Smith Kemp of Kappa Alpha Theta, Haley Boyd Doggett who is a Gamma Phi Beta and Mary Ann Imhoff Williams of Delta Zeta.

Next presentation was Jane Lewis

Clark of Delta Gamma; Ellen Dolan Fleming of Delta Delta Delta; Cassie Cavins Bowen, a Chi Omega; Lacey Davidson Trent of Alpha Xi Delta; Kathryn Shahan Terry of Alpha Phi; Ally Rhea Rodriguez, an Alpha Omicron Pi; Leslie PollockNoller who is an Alpha Gamma Delta; Brandi Woods-Littlejohn of Alpha Delta Pi; and Rebecca Hogan Heil of Alpha Chi Omega.

The women have made stunning achievements and done it with heart and vigor. OKC Alumnae Panhellenic has awarded over $300,000 in scholarships to high school senior women.

• Joe McClendon and I sat on a windowsill and engaged in marathon peoplewatching. Fascinating to me were the luscious HIGH heeled shoes that all the young women wore to the Heritage Hall Heart of Gold 50th year celebration.

Impish Joe said, “I AM looking at the shoes, not the legs.”

In this weird time of everyone taking offense over everything, he wanted to be sure I understood his interest was in shoes. Joe is fun.

The party was sold out and I think you could have swept up weeds from a Heritage Hall flowerbed and sold the bundle for $500, so eager was this group to support the school.

But the Live Auction items were so beyond weeds: trip to the 2020 Masters, an Aussiedoodle so cute we all squealed, trip to Manhattan (as in NYC – not Kansas) with a package so full that there was private fly fishing with a guide in Central Park, a Heritage Hall-themed painting

by Beth Hammack, trips to Las Vegas, Napa Valley, etc.

Around the room we saw Wendy and Ethan House, Judy

Matt and Kristen Brown have on their big Heritage Hall 50th year celebration smiles.

Our MC was Erielle Reshef and it was her dad’s birthday, so some 450 people sang Happy Birthday to him — Eli Reshef and wife/mom Edie Roodman. Others were Whitney and Clay Moss, Ashlee and Mark Rodden, Ashley Wells, Laynie and Reese Travis, Cathie and Bill Perry, and Heather and Tommy Showalter.

• Last year at the Wings gala, Cliff Stockton acted as auctioneer, this year they promoted him to “spotter.” You might think that was a demotion – but only if you don’t know Cliff! With his engaging grin he got in the faces of bidders and practically climbed on their laps!

The group was wildly supportive of this charity but gave even more when confronted by an impish Cliff. His serenely beautiful and gracious wife, Diane, merely shook her head.

Wing’s mission is to enhance the lives of adults with development disabilities through social, vocational and residential programs guided by the principles of the Bible.

Cheri Weaver is executive director, Ron Harris is board chairman, and Jayme Hale and Bob Barnard were gala chairmen. Those attending were Gold Sponsors Patty and Steve Coupens, Cindi and Rick Webb, and Ruth and Tom Webb.

Others were Anne and Barry Gray, Brian Weaver, Mary Ellen and Bill Gumerson, Sharon and David Wade, Burns and Ann Hargis, Susie and Brad Kemp, Teresa Shavney and husband Richard Knapp, Cindy Barnard, Jane Webb Childress and her husband Lonnie.

Barbara and Mason Jett, and Delores and Jim Mueller behind, show support for Heritage Hall.
