Vote Yes for new jail and Kevin Calvey OKC FRIDAY EDITORIAL We need a new jail. That has been obvious since the current jail was built using sand instead of concrete. It is the only Proposition on the ballot and a Yes vote will be enormous for the safety of the community and the prisoners.

Kevin Calvey is by far the best choice for District Attorney. Believing that leaders should bear their fair share of the burden of serving our country, Kevin Calvey shocked his friends in 2003 by joining the military at age 37. He served as an Army Captain in Iraq, defending

our freedom on the battlefield by prosecuting some of the most infamous terrorists in the Iraq War. To protect our freedoms, Kevin left behind his former business, and risked frequent Katyusha rocket attacks in over 100 missions in a hostile fire zone. The U.S. Army awarded Kevin the Bronze Star Medal for his service in Iraq.

Allied Arts celebrates historic campaign During its 2022 campaign, and with American Rescue Act Plan funds, Allied Arts raised a historic $4,823,790 for central Oklahoma’s cultural community. Nearly 300 Allied Arts donors, art administrators, artists, volunteers and friends came together to mark the end of the 2022

campaign with a Celebration Event at Oklahoma Contemporary. Sody and Robert Clements were the campaign co-chairmen. “What a milestone to raise a historic $4.8 million for Allied Arts and our local cultural landscape,” Robert Clements said. “The overwhelming generosity from

all sectors of our community speaks volumes about the value of the arts to our region’s quality of life. The Allied Arts network of 40plus cultural nonprofits is relying on this support more than ever as they continue to feel the effects of the pandemic.” In partnership with the

City of Oklahoma City, Allied Arts is set to award $1 million in COVID-relief grants to eligible arts nonprofits based in Oklahoma City which demonstrate need and pandemic-related losses or expenses. “Mayor David Holt and the City of Oklahoma City leadership recognize that the

nonprofit arts industry is an important sector of our economy, and financial support is necessary to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on the organizations that work tirelessly to transform lives through the arts,” said Deborah McAuliffe Senner, See ARTS, Page 2

NHills moves ‘fore’ward with golf cart amendment Graham mum on By Eric Oesch Staff Writer It is now okay for golf carts to travel Pennsylvania Avenue and Wilshire Boulevard in Nichols Hills with drivers as young as 13 years old. The City Council voted to amend a city ordinance concerning the operation of golf carts that were once off limits on some city streets. The change is effective immediately. Prior to the council vote, Chapter 44 of City Ordinance 1213 banned golf carts on Pennsylvania Avenue, Wilshire Boulevard, Western Avenue and NW 63rd Street within the city limits of Nichols Hills. After discussion that saw Ward 1 Councilwoman Sody Clements

FRIDAY’s Young

question the appropriateness of 13-year-old drivers in Nichols Hills, the council unanimously voted to allow residents residing on Pennsylvania Avenue and Wilshire Boulevard to “drive on such streets when taking the most direct route to access other of the city’s streets where operation of golf carts is permitted.” Children as young as 13 years old are currently permitted by law to drive a golf cart on city streets with the permission of his or her parent or guardian. The Oklahoma City Golf & Country Club is located at 7000 NW Grand Boulevard, just one block south of the intersection of Penn and Wilshire. “It has been reported to me several times about children

seen driving golf carts and wondering if they are legal,” said Councilwoman Clements. “In one case a golf cart was observed, with kids hanging off all parts of it, doing donuts in the park. I feel we’re just this close to having a child getting hurt. “I have never had a call saying an adult operating a golf cart was doing it incorrectly,” she said. “I wouldn’t be opposed to saying kids can’t operate golf carts at all. “They (golf carts) don’t have seat belts and they’re wobbly,” she said. “I think they’re a menace when kids are driving them.” Ward 2 Councilman Peter

verbal altercation with NHills police By Rose Lane Editor The Village Mayor Adam Graham declined to comment when asked during Monday’s City Council meeting about his actions during a verbal altercation with Nichols Hills police. Caught on body camera and reported in detail in an email to Nichols Hills Police Chief Steve Cox by Officer Brandon Edwards, Graham pulled up to a traffic stop by Edwards within The Village city limits. The report says Edwards had begun pursuing a vehicle traveling north in the 8400 block of Pennsylvania at 43 mph in a 25-mph zone. The vehicle did not come to a stop until it reached Carlisle Road, three blocks inside The

Hoffman said, “It’s a slippery slope.” “I hear you on tearing up the grass in the parks — we need to be sure that somewhere written in the ordinance it is stated they have to drive on the roads with big fines if they don’t,” he said. “There are so many golf carts and there are just going to be more on the roads as our residents stay within the city confines it is really hard to ban them. This is probably going to be ‘prickly’ no matter what, so my sense is to not ban them completely.” “We’re not banning them under this proposal,” said Mayor Steve Goetzinger. “I think we need to do something. Certainly, if they’re driving them in the parks, we can issue a fine.” Current Ordinances say, “a police officer, upon finding a person in violation of this section may ascertain the name and address of such person and warn that person that he is in violation of this section and direct that person to comply.”

years. In response, Graham said he would only discuss the situation privately and one-on-one. “You embarrassed the council, the city and its residents,” former Mayor David Bennett said. Councilman Bubba Symes and City Manager Bruce Stone drafted a proclamation of “appreciation for our sister city,” which was unanimously approved. A copy of the proclamation Reaffirming Commitment to Mutual Cooperation & Respect is above.

The ordinance states that if a person “refuses to follow such directions may be punished by a fine as established in the City Fine Schedule.” With that Hoffman recommended the council approve the amendment. “Let our city manager and the police work out all the details and come back to the council,” he said. “If Sody doesn’t want to move for approval I understand her situation and I will move for

approval.” The motion was seconded by Mayor Goetzinger and approved by all three council members. Golf carts are still prohibited from operating on city streets a half hour after sunset or a half hour before sunrise or at any other time when there is not sufficient light or visibility to clearly see the golf cart at a distance of at least 500 feet. Drivers are required to follow all traffic laws and may not exceed 25 mph.

y father, Tom McDaniel, hit a hole-in-one last Saturday. It was the day before Father’s Day. He was playing golf with David Morgan, General Richard Burpee, and General Dick Hefton at the Oklahoma City Golf and Country Club. It was a typical round of golf until dad stepped up to the number six tee box and sent the ball sailing from tee to hole in one shot. Dad is 83. This was his fifth hole in one since 1974. Luckily, that night, we had already planned a big family celebration. My nephew Josh McDaniel graduated from the University of Oklahoma. My niece Grace McDaniel graduated from Westminster School 8th grade. I had a birthday. And, my parents, Tom and Brenda McDaniel, celebrated their 63rd wedding anniversary. Their anniversary actually took place while we were on vacation with St. Luke’s United Methodist Church. We arrived in Munich at dinner time the night before. My brother

Mark McDaniel gave a toast to our 75 fellow travelers, explaining to them how mom and dad met at the Methodist church in Alva, where mom worked as a secretary and dad took a job as the janitor to be near her while they were in college. After dinner, we heard fun stories from different couples about how they met, some years ago, many very recently. Then sixteen of us hopped on the Munich U-Bahn subway system and headed to the legendary Hofbräuhaus, where we toasted mom and dad again with enormous beers, hundreds of festive revelers, and a fabulous Polka band all dressed in lederhosen. Our family loves to celebrate. We love getting together to eat, play games, watch sports, and especially talk. And it doesn’t have to be an actual holiday or milestone. We are pretty good about

celebrating anytime we are together. But it is a choice. It is a choice to get together with your family. It is a choice to bring a positive attitude towards your family when you get together. It is a choice to focus your attention on those things that you can all celebrate together. And it is a choice to enter each discussion with the intention of making the person feel heard, uplifted, and even celebrated. I am constantly surrounded by people who choose to lift me up. My family pours their love into me in a way that makes me confident to go out into the world and live out my dreams. My friends inspire me to get involved and support every endeavor. What if everyone was given that same opportunity? What if we chose to shower all of the people around us with love? What if we chose to focus on the issues that bring us together, instead of those that drive us apart? What if we chose to love all of our neighbors, no exceptions? That would be quite a celebration.

New exhibition features works from Oklahoma-based artists Destination Oklahoma, opening at Oklahoma Contemporary on July 14, offers artist perspectives on the patterns of migration that have long-shaped life in our state. Through more than a dozen works (ceramics, mixed media, paintings, photographs, prints and video) Oklahoma-based artists illuminate the distinct cultural backgrounds that have long existed at the country’s crossroads. “Destination Oklahoma features artworks by five artists that touch upon the layered contexts and experiences of this place, and the ways in which we define — or misunderstand — what it means to be an Oklahoman,” said Oklahoma Con-

temporary Associate Curator Pablo Barrera. “As Oklahoma City welcomes refugees from Afghanistan, approaches the one-year anniversary of the First Americans Museum, revitalizes the Clara Luper Civil Rights Center, and sees a record increase of newcomers from other states, this exhibition is a timely opportunity to reflect on how the region’s long-standing patterns of human migration continue to shape our artistic landscape.” A mixed-media painting featuring a portrait of a man in profile framed by Arabic text with redactions on what appears to be aged paper or parchment photographs by September Dawn Bottoms suggest the com-

plicated nature of intergenerational resilience, while drawings by Ghazal Ghazi co-mingle the Persian miniature format with contemporary portraiture. Paintings by Skip Hill reimagine symbolic imagery related to the Dust Bowl era, and paintings by America Meredith playfully mix pop culture references with historical illustrations of Indigenous subjects. Prints by Đan Lynh Phạm blend graphic language with Vietnamese folk art traditions to evoke the sense of connection — or disconnection — felt by some immigrants to the state. Destination Oklahoma is a collaboration between Oklahoma Contemporary and guest co-curator Liz

Blood, a Tulsa-based writer who is contributing to the exhibition a poetry zine featuring responses to artworks by Oklahoma-based writers. “My family migrated to Oklahoma just over 100 years ago,” Blood said. “Those of us who are not original inhabitants of this land share that history of migration that has made Oklahoma a beautiful and complex place. Destination Oklahoma celebrates and explores that complexity.” The exhibition will be on view in the Mary LeFlore Clements Oklahoma Gallery through Oct. 17. Admission to Oklahoma Contemporary’s exhibitions and most programs is free.

In MY Opinion by VICKI CLARK GOURLEY vicki@okcfriday.com

Are you still a registered Democrat? Leland and I used to laugh about Edward L. Gaylord’s name being above our name in the general election, but never in the primary, even after he became a rabid Republican, witing vicious editorials against George

Nigh and other Democrats. He was still registered as a Democrat. Fridayland votes overwhelmingly Republican. I guess that’s why only the repubs come visit me.
