| Caylee Dodson is one of USA TODAY’s Women of the Year, a recognition of women across the country who have made a significant impact.
In 2020, Restore OKC, of which Dodson is executive director, partnered with grocery chain Homeland to open a small market on the property that houses RestoreOKC's headquarters and urban farm in the Creston Hills neighborhood. That temporary grocery outlet filled a niche at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 and for some time afterward.
he store started as a dream with 16 high school students at Northeast Academy who had been working with Restore OKC. RestoreOKC is a community development ministry in northeast Oklahoma City and the recipient of the 2021-2022 Rotary Project – the Rotary Red Barn. Groundbreaking for the Rotary Red Barn was held June 11, 2022.

A Lesson Lies Over the Rainbow
by Ted Streuli
“It is all so well-intentioned, so genial and so gay that any reviewer who would look down his nose at the fun-making should be spanked and sent off, supperless, to bed,” Frank S. Nugent wrote of the film. “Having too stout an appetite to chance so dire a punishment, we shall merely mention, and not dwell upon, the circumstance that even such great wizards as those who lurk in the concrete caverns of California are often tripped in their flights of fancy by trailing vines of piano wire and outcroppings of putty noses.”
That was published nearly 83 years ago, on Aug. 18, 1939, in The New York Times. In honor of Judy Garland’s 100th birthday (she was born June 10, 1922), several local theaters showed The Wizard of Oz on the big screen June 5 and 6. It occurred to me that the lesson of the film is the lesson of Rotary,
“Not since Disney’s Snow White has anything quite so fantastic succeeded half so well,” he wrote. “A fairybook tale has been told in the fairybook style, with witches, goblins, pixies and other wondrous things drawn in the brightest colors and set cavorting to a merry little score.”
The Wizard of Oz made its official debut on Aug. 15. Louis B. Mayer’s strategy for MGM at the time was to produce a lot of B movies, all made on tight budgets. In 1939, MGM released 52 films, many with long-forgotten titles: Bad Little Angel, These Glamour Girls, The Kid from Texas. By comparison, MGM produced just 10 films last year. But in 1939, the studio also made some good ones. Among the 10 movies nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award, four were made by MGM: Ninotchka; Goodbye, Mr. Chips; The Wizard of Oz; and Gone with the Wind.
The Wizard of Oz didn’t win, but it should have. READ MORE
