Red Andrews needs donations Since 1947, members of the Red Andrews family, local community leaders and event volunteers have provided Christmas dinner to the community. The event is free and open to the public. Due to the COVID virus, the Red Andrews Christmas Dinner Foundation is providing a bag of groceries to prepare a delicious Christmas dinner along with a toy for the children.

In speaking to the audience of OKC Town Hall, Robert O’Neill, a member of SEAL Team 6 and the man who shot Osama Bin Laden, delivered a series of credos that have helped guide his career. Born in Butte, Mont. on April 10, 1976, O’Neill would go on to enlist in the United States Navy in January 1998. O'Neill reported to Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL training (BUD/S) at Naval Amphibious Base Coronado and graduated from BUD/S class 208. O’Neill was part of the mission to rescue Captain Richard Phillips from the Maersk Alabama hijacking and Operation Neptune Spear, which took down Bin Laden in the early hours of May 2, 2011. He is now a motivational speaker, a contributor to FOX News and a published author. “Why were we as successful as we were as Navy SEALs,” O’Neil asked. “We were good to each other. If we move forward together, success takes care of itself.”

SEAL From Page 1 But, complacency kills and success leads to complacency. A good leader is not in charge, just responsible for his team, he said. We only feel as much stress as we allow ourselves to, O’Neill said. “It’s okay to feel afraid,” he said. “Without fear, there isn’t courage.” Fear can lead to panic and that is contagious. A good leader wants calm rather to be contagious. Preparation is the key. O’Neill said that preparation is made of three components: training, communication (the less we talk the better we work) and repetition.
As they rode back to Afghanistan after Operation Neptune, it was 90 minutes until they reached safety over the border. All of the SEALs dealt with the situation differently. O’Neill said he counted the minutes. “Worry won’t stop a missile.” The bottom line is never to quit. O’Neill described the intense BUD/S training the SEALs undergo. Only 20 percent graduated in his class. It was very hard, every day for eight months. The only easy thing to do was to quit. “If you keep quitting tomorrow, you can do anything in life,” O’Neill said. Sometimes, he said, however, the greatest advice is “get over it.”

asks in schools: a controversial topic nationwide. In the beginning, Casady School was one of the first schools in Oklahoma City to have a mask mandate implemented campus-wide. Many feel this a correct and good move, others think not and even more straddle the middle line between wanting to be safe and wanting life to go back to pre-pandemic normal. I wish that we could be in the prepandemic normal again, but I understand why we can’t and why it’s so important that we mask up to protect ourselves and each other.

year and in isolated quarantine as a close contact ping due to a classmate or friend contracting COVID-19. Being isolated and watching all my classmates participate inperson while I was alone was one of the hardest things I’ve had to do and it was very easy to just stop working and be alone with my thoughts. I was lucky, though. I only spent eight weeks in quarantine, and many children across the metro spent
the whole school year online. This year, all schools, public and private, are back in person and Casady is doing its best to make sure we stay that way. Going back to school in person this year has been a challenge and an adjustment as we roll with what the CDC and government is throwing at us, especially with cases rising and variants spreading, but I’d much rather be inperson and masked than separate and online, or even worse, separate, online and sick. We must all rise to the challenges around us and remember to take care of ourselves and one another, even if we don’t like how we have to do it.

had two perfect ACT composite scores,” Shield said. “Lucas achieved this score between his sophomore and junior year in high school. I’m proud of him. Best of all, he doesn’t need to worry about taking the ACT ever again.” The ACT consists of tests in English, mathematics, reading, and science, each scored on a scale of 1–36. A student's composite score is the average of the four test scores. The national average ACT composite score is 20.7, Oklahoma’s composite average is 19.6. The CCS Class of 2021 had an average ACT composite of 26.4. Like the SAT, ACT scores are accepted by all major U.S. colleges. Exceptional scores of 36 provide colleges with evidence of student readiness for the academic rigors that lie ahead.

terlin Harjo, a University of Oklahoma graduate from Holdenville, was a featured presenter at the 73rd Emmy Awards. Harjo is the co-creator of the FX Series Reservation Dogs, which is currently streaming on Hulu. Reservation Dogs is a half hour comedy series about four Indigenous teenagers living in rural Oklahoma that rob, steal, and navigate teenage life as they save money to get off the reservation and away to the faraway land of California. Each episode includes a great mix of honest representation, magical realism, and surprising humor. The series, which was shot primarily in Okmulgee, launched in August and has already been a huge success. It has garnered a rare 100% score on the review website Rotten Tomatoes, tons of great media attention, and a second season on order. At the Emmy’s, Harjo was joined on stage by the four young stars of the series: Paulina Alexis, Lane Factor, Devery Jacobs and D’Pharaoh Woon-ATai. They presented the award for best directing for a limited or anthology series or movie, but also noted the signifi-
cance of their inclusion in the evening’s celebration. “We are here on television’s biggest night as creators and actors, proud to be Indigenous people working in Hollywood, representing the first people to walk upon this continent and we are really happy to be here,” Harjo said before presenting the award. Harjo, who is a member of the Seminole Nation and has Muskogee heritage, has been one of Oklahoma’s most revered voices in film since his debut short film in 2005, Good Night, Irene. That film was nominated for Best Short Film at the Tribeca Film Festival and won the Jury Prize at Aspen Shorts Fest. He followed up that success with his debut feature film, Four Sheets to the Wind, which was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance in 2007 and won a Special Jury Prize for actress Tamara Podemski. Since that time, Harjo has released outstanding narrative features Barking

Water (2009) and Mekko (2015) and award-winning music documentaries This May Be the Last Time (2014) and Love and Fury (2021). He partnered with This Land TV in Tulsa to create a television documentary series in 2012. And, he worked with the Cherokee Nation Film Office from 2015-2017 on their television series Osiyo, Voices of the Cherokee People. In 2014, Harjo was presented with the Oklahoma Film ICON Award at the deadCenter Film festival for his contribution to Oklahoma storytelling. One of the most exciting aspects of watching Reservation Dogs as a long-time fan of Harjo is recognizing so many actors, musicians, and crew members from past Sterlin Harjo productions. Harjo has been working in Oklahoma for fifteen years, telling awesome stories through film. It is so gratifying to see him lift up and include the local and Indigenous artists and collaborators who have helped him develop his unique and much needed voice along the way. You can check out FX’s Reservation Dogs exclusively on Hulu, which currently offers a free one-month trial.

Silver Flyer – Making Scissortail Park accessible for everyone Park introduces free golf cart tours for seniors and other guests with limited mobility
Beginning Friday, Sept. 17, Scissortail Park introduced a new service for guests called the Silver Flyer. The 20-minute free golf cart tours are intended for seniors and other guests who have limited mobility and are not able to walk around the 36acre downtown park. “Our vision to be a place ‘for
everyone’ and our new Silver Flyer tour service will help us serve seniors and others with mobility issues to better see and enjoy the Park,” said Maureen Heffernan, CEO of Scissortail Park and Myriad Botanical Gardens. “Our cart tour guides will drive guests around the 36-acre site to see all the beautiful gardens, trees, fountains, Promenade, lawns, lake, boathouse and Union Station. They also will get a view of the Park and city skyline from the SkyDance Bridge. “This is a free service during regular scheduled Silver Flyer
hours. We encourage everyone who would like to take advantage of this free service to book a tour today. During the holiday season, the Silver Flyer will have special evening hours so seniors and others can enjoy all the lights throughout the Park and the gorgeous Illuminations light and music show at historic Union Station.” The Silver Flyer can accommodate up to four guests with 20minute tours available during the day and evening on Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
To reserve the Silver Flyer for a specific time and date, guests should visit scissortailpark.org/silverflyer or call 405-493-8301 for assistance. Once a reservation is confirmed, an email will be sent with directions for free accessible parking. The tour schedule is subject to change due to inclement weather. Donations are encouraged to support the Scissortail Park Foundation. The cost for a private tour is $10 for members and $15 for non-members.

26th Annual Mesta Festa this weekend The Mesta Park Neighborhood Association presents the 2021 Mesta Festa, Sunday, Sept. 26 from 12 to 6 pm at Perle Mesta Park, located at NW 18th and Shartel Ave. Mesta Festa is free and open to the public, and will include a beer garden, outdoor kids’ zone with fun activities for the whole family, arts and crafts, live music, sand volleyball, local artists, and popup shopping booths, as well as food trucks. Funds raised at Mesta
Festa benefit the Mesta Park Neighborhood Association, contributing a significant portion to its annual budget. Mesta Festa is an outdoor event and will be committed to providing a safe and responsible environment for all attendees, vendors, and volunteers. Social distancing and masks will be encouraged, and there will be multiple hand sanitizer stations available. Admission to enjoy
OKC Memorial Marathon issues enhanced COVID protocols Runners required to present proof of vaccination or negative test The Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon will require participants in the 21st Annual Memorial Marathon set for Oct. 2-3, to either provide proof of vaccination or produce a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours of their race in order to participate in the Memorial Marathon, Half Marathon, Relay and 5K. Anyone over 12 years of age participating in the Kids Marathon must also provide the same proof. Kari Watkins, executive director of the OKC National Memorial & Museum reinforced the importance of running this race. “After the bombing in 1995, so many people said OKC couldn’t recover and move forward,” said Watkins. “We showed the world a new standard of working together and this Marathon stands for the same resilience of our community we saw then, and we can see now. We believe we can honor those who were killed, those who survived and those changed forever by running this race and honoring so many who have bravely battled this worldwide pandemic including some of the same medical professionals who were the first to rush to the scene. This is our opportunity to show a new generation the Oklahoma Standard first-hand.” In an effort to create the safest environment possible, Marathon race officials have set a race cap at 12,000 which is 50% of the runners that participated in 2019 and adopted enhanced health and safety policies. These emulate best practices being used in major marathons and public events across the country and throughout the State of Oklahoma.
the beer and wine garden requires a wristband, available for purchase at the entrance to the garden for $25 per person (21+). Mesta Festa shirts will also be available for sale on the day of the event. Cash and credit cards will be accepted. Several local musical acts, including Tanner Fields, Nia Moné, Isaac McClung, and Keathley will perform throughout the day. Food trucks that will be at the event include Tasty Snow, Yum Pig, Let’s

The Shutdown Reprinted from OKC FRIDAY, October 11, 2013
T
HE REASON FOR THE SHUTDOWN was because a small group of high-level politicians were playing “Standing My Ground,” never mind what it was doing to their country. In the field of politics of the entire country such bull-headedness seldom works. It’s okay to have firm convictions and beliefs, and to express them, but we need to remember there are a lot of people, citizens of equal rights, who might have a different view from ours. Most Americans don’t approve of government shutdowns. Not this one, anyway. Most of us admire leaders who speak out for the issues that agree with us. But we have little affection for childish dis-

plays of friction, especially when it interferes with the good of the majority. It’s like this situation with a childish brother and sister: Brother: “I’m not going to give you back your volleyball until you give me my football” Sister: “I’m not going to give you back your football until give me my volleyball.” So they lock up their captive balls in their dresser drawer and spend the rest of their life boasting, “I stood my ground.” That’s the same kind of stubbornness being played by President Obama and Speaker Boehner. Here’s an accurate description of the high level dispute that closed down our govern-
ment: Speaker Boehner: “There is no way my Republicans are going to pass a budget bill that does not include some reduction of government debt.” President Obama: “There is no way my Democrats are going to pass a budget bill loaded down with anything else on it; a ‘clean’ (meaning no mention of Obama care) bill.” Speaker Boehner: “The Democrats will not negotiate.” President Obama: “The Republicans will not negotiate.” Hopefully, by the time you are reading this, somebody, or maybe both, will have “caved in” and some kind of agreement has been reached. And the Republicans then can say, “Boy, the Speaker sure showed those Democrats.” And the Democrats can say, “Boy, the President really showed those Republicans.” The moral to this little story is that, in the art of politics it might be better to admit the other guy has a right to his crazy views.

Sports Weekly FOOTBALL | WEEK 4 PREVIEW: LAWTON EISENHOWER AT MCGUINNESS • 7 P.M. FRIDAY
Irish entertain Lawton Ike to open district play By Jason Jewell Sports Editor For many football coaches, scheduling games involves a delicate balance. Do they go for guaranteed wins and perhaps give their team a false sense of accomplishment or for harder opponents to prepare for the important district schedule? In the 2021 season, McGuinness coach Bryan Pierce decided on the second option as the Irish played two
playoff-caliber teams and a traditional rival in their three non-district games. “We’ve had a pretty tough challenge,” Pierce said. “I think our players have responded well and I believe we’re headed in the right direction.” McGuinness now opens district play against Lawton Eisenhower this Friday in OKC FRIDAY’s Spotlight Game of the Week. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. at Pribil Stadium.

“(Lawton Ike) is a much-improved team with some good athletes,” Pierce said. “Last year’s game turned into a back-andforth down there so I expect them to be a good challenge.” The Irish (1-2) are coming off a 27-21 overtime loss at Del City last Friday. Against Lawton Ike, the defense needs to continue its improvement. The Irish installed a new 4-2-5 scheme. “We need the

defense to continue to play well,” Pierce said. “I think we’re finally settling in and learning
what we want to do.” Defensive ends Brody Houser and Will Watts anchor the front
line, while linebacker Zane Shadid helps keep things clogged in the middle of the field. McGuinness’ veteran offense has averaged just over 30 points per game and Pierce only expects things to get better as sophomore quarterback River Warren gains more game experience. Tailback Michael Taffe is the Irish’s primany running threat. Receivers Paul Tarman and Andrew Smith emerged as Warren’s go-to target.
SOFTBALL ROUNDUP
Antlers get past Yukon in extras In an exciting back-and-forth affair, the Deer Creek softball team scored a run in the bottom of the 10th inning to pull off an 8-7 victory over Yukon last Monday. Ashley Hogg belted a double with two outs to drive in Kennedy Wardlaw from second base with 2 outs in the 10th inning for the win. For the game, Hogg batted 4for-6 with three runs scored and
drove in two runs. Wardlaw finished 3-for-5 with a double and scored three times. Jaiden Coffey and Charley Carlson had two hits each with Coffey contributing a double and Carlson had a triple and drove in two runs. Pitcher Brynlee Alsip struck out five of the seven batters she faced and didn’t allow a run or hit in two innings for the win. The Antlers (15-6) are set to compete at the THS/NSU Festival this weekend and visit PC West on Monday.
PANTHERS FALL TO JENKS IN DOUBLEHEADER Hampered by several errors, PC North suffered a doubleheader loss to Jenks on Monday. In the first game, PC North scored runs in the first and sixth innings of a 9-2 defeat. Monica Coats and Kiara Coleman belted two hits each, and Coats drove in a run to lead the PC North offense. Angel Fanklin and Josalyn Faulkner accounted for the other two hits. Story continued at okcfriday.com.
CROSS COUNTRY ROUNDUP
Antler boys win Cowboy Jamboree Keyed by three runners in the top 15, the Deer Creek boys captured the OSU Cowboy Jamboree championship last weekend in Stillwater. Gilbert Velez finished second in the individual standings of the prestigious race, completing the 5-kilometer course in 16:09.7 just about three seconds behind the winning pace.
Teammate A.J. Antonelli claimed fourth place in 16:24.2, while Graham Mitchell came in 14th place and Tyler Schwartz crossed in 25th for the Antlers. The Antler girls, meanwhile, placed fourth at the Cowboy Jamboree with two runners in the top 10.

Mount St. Mary’s Michaela Carney and Mackenzie Dehart finished in the top-third
of the field, with Carny placing 34th and Dehard claiming 55th for the Rockets. John Rockers led the Rocket boys in the bottom half of the field at 116th place out of 356 competitors.

Chargers shut out Bears By Jason Jewell Sports Editor Contrary to their opening two games, the Heritage Hall football team blasted out of the gate early to score on its first two possessions on the way to a 44-0 victory over Fridayland rival John Marshall last Friday night in FRIDAY’s Spotlight Game of the Week at Pop Murray Field. “It was huge for us to get off to such as a fast start,” Charger coach Brett Bogert said after the game. “We were able to take advantage of their turnovers.”
Star receiver Gavin Freeman scored three touchdowns for Heritage Hall which improved to 3-0. Freeman caught a pair of TD passes scoring 35 and 58 yards from quarterback Will Paque and added a 6-yard run. Tailback River Faulkner ran for a 5yard score and Brigham Evans chipped in a 19yard scamper in the fourth quarter. Defensive back Nick Keith recovered a blocked punt in the end zone for the Charger defense which also forced the Bears (1-2) into three turnovers. Kicker Luke Butler
nailed a 27-yard field goal and connected on three extra-point attempts. ROCKETS TROUNCE CHR. HERITAGE Mount St. Mary erupted for three scores in the first quarter to cruise to a 49-21 triumph over Christian Heritage last night at Father Fulton Field. Quarterback Joseph Krug accounted for five touchdowns to lead the Rockets (2-0). Krug threw three TD’s to Diante Carter for 58 yards, Jaxson Daniels for 9 yards and C.J. Johnson for 15 yards and added scoring runs covering 1 and 40 yards. KNIGHTS RUN OVER CYCLONES

lways pick and choose the trends you love the most and give them your own spin. A good button‐down is my go‐ to layer in place of a jacket. VOGUE calls it the ultimate closet staple whether it’s white, striped or denim. Still go for the chunky, cable knit sweaters with lots of interesting details.

Jane Childress ‑ CK & CO 2021 Fall Forecast: Within tops, sleeve and shoulder details continue forward in new interpretations. Bottoms are eased up and more relaxed with waistline empha‐ sis still a focal point. Color Recap ‐ Shades of green, happy hot pink and reds are the pop colors grounded by blues and neutrals. As events begin to happen again there is a lot of talk about the roaring 20s, hence we are again in the 20s followed by a pandemic. Brighter days are ahead.
Plaid is still a must‐have fall print. Wear plaid on your skirt, blazer, button‐down or trousers. If you add chunky socks and loafers, you’re spot‐on with fall 2021 trends. Have you bought your loafers yet?! Don’t be tempted to buy all dark and dreary pieces when the temperature drops. This fall, bold, vibrant, electric col‐ ors should be in your wardrobe and can be worn all at once or for just a pop of color as a statement piece. I think we are all ready for a dose of fun and saturated color to show off our growing optimism. OKC’s local boutique owners and stylists know how to create a look for you that is current and appropriate for any occasion. We have places to be … go shopping!!

Cindi Shelby – Lela Rose and Pearl by Lela Rose Fall has a variety of new trends with one overall theme ‐ elevated comfort. After the Fall shows, someone said “chic but cozy is our ideal intersection.” Thus, luxe knitwear is a huge category, in maxi dresses and two‐ piece sets. And après‐ski has never looked so good with cozy fair isle, fringe and cable knit sweaters. Fall is all about color, with ultra‐saturated shades to brighten your day. And lots of unexpected, intriguing color combinations. Icy pastels also make an impact this fall. Menswear looks are on the scene, with her‐ ringbone and glen plaid fabrics. Pants are skinnies to cropped to wide. Evening is very glam, no minimalism here. The message is clear, it’s time to have to have some fun with fashion again. Go for the drama, be inventive and let your light shine!
Nancy Farha ‐ Easy sophistication starts here at Nancy Farha's. Take your Fall wardrobe to the next level with luscious blues, perfect reds and a hint of caramel hues. Build effortless layering with cozy sweaters and jack‐ ets of all lengths. There is a jean for every occasion whether it be slim, straight or the new flare cut. We make fashion work for you!
Charlet Sauls – Boutique One Fashion is about expressing yourself with clothing and this Fall it's about…finding THE perfect sweater that makes you feel happy!! Wearing a fun dress or top in one of this sea‐ sons’ floral prints with a ruffle or a flounce is per‐ fect for your next date night or going out with girlfriends. The evenings are also all about sequins, colored velvets or metallic fabrics. Leather, leather, leather is everywhere in dresses, shirts, pants, skirts and jackets both faux and real ‐ as well as wide‐leg jeans or pants. Lounge‐ wear isn't just for lounging any‐ more, it goes out and about, just add the perfect shoe. Krista Souther – Krista Anne’s Boutique Autumn reminds us that change should be beautiful and Fall 2021 is no exception! The return of the “shacket” is one of the top pieces tak‐ ing the spotlight. This shirt/jacket hybrid can be worn as either inner or outer wear. Silhouettes with ornate sleeves, exaggerated collars and shoulders stand out this season, as well as embellished sweaters and glittery tops. The refined utility trouser catches our attention along with the continuation of higher waist‐ lines and a more relaxed fit in both jeans and pants. Prints in houndstooth and retro plaid along with accessories that “spark joy” make us smile. Boots with chunky soles speak to the grounding that our “souls” long for right now. All in all, Fall 2021 encourages us not only to move out‐ side our boxes, but to deeply enjoy the beauty that change can bring!
