00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:07.080
Good morning, good morning, good
morning, and welcome, welcome, welcome

2
00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:10.560
to us. Time now for our
community connection right here on K one,

3
00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:16.359
the one you trust and let's see
it is A thirty four and we are

4
00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:20.519
brought to you by our good folks
at Arnold Boyne Camp at funeral Home and

5
00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:25.640
with us here today we have Christina
Scott and you're going to be talking about

6
00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:29.559
Pants Day, Independence Day. We've
got a lot going on with Pants to

7
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:34.000
Independence pretty close. Yeah, absolutely, there we go. So what first

8
00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:36.479
of all, I guess we've got
a five K coming up, right,

9
00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:40.320
Yes, we do, and that
will be April twenty seventh. The five

10
00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:44.240
K is going to start at eight
am. The fun run will be shortly

11
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:50.960
after eight fifteen, and registration is
open on Past to Independence website. Oh

12
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:56.399
right, yeah, so we got
the packet pick up coming up pretty soon,

13
00:00:56.600 --> 00:01:00.320
we do, and that will be
let's see your habit somewhere in my

14
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:06.640
notes twenty six, that's correct,
from four thirty to six thirty right in

15
00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:11.040
front of PTI. Now, are
you a runner? You can call it

16
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:12.760
that? Not as much as I
used to be, none of us from

17
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:17.599
what we used to I try so
sort of. Yes, I was just

18
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:22.879
wondering. You were talking about how
you ran there want and that's how you

19
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:27.079
kind of got to familiar with it
with the pet correct right. So,

20
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:33.599
prior to working as a physical therapist
assistant at PEAK, I highly recommend them,

21
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:38.640
by the way, no bias there. I had found out about PTI

22
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:44.439
and works for them by signing up
and running their five K Wow. Yes,

23
00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:48.439
funny things happen when you eat by
accident, isn't it right? But

24
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:52.200
PTI also turned out to be a
great place for a lot of people,

25
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:57.959
a lot of children who really need
a special hand up when it comes to

26
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:02.599
education and getting a long in society
today. Yes, I'm sorry, I

27
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:09.719
said, PTI helps our children out
hand up in learning and things correct.

28
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:15.000
And I have a nine year old
who you've been attending PTI for about three

29
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:19.080
years now. Cool school. Yes, I am thrilled with their programs and

30
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:23.759
their ratio is two to one.
They currently have seventy students and we have

31
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:29.199
families travel from all over to attend
PTI. I believe they serve five different

32
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:34.000
counties, which is incredible, and
we have such a wide range of programs

33
00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:38.400
there. We have anywhere from I
think age three all the way up to

34
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:43.199
an adult program, which is where
I worked at as well. Well,

35
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:47.280
this is really cool. The schools
right there are just about a block or

36
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:52.520
two away from our home, and
we have a little special affinity for the

37
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:55.080
kids. We're a watching out for
them and you know, and we get

38
00:02:55.080 --> 00:03:00.960
a little challenging to motorists who try
to speed by there. Let's just put

39
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:04.960
it that way, So be careful, be careful, be very very careful.

40
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:07.520
We've got a lot going on too. Now you brought some visual aids.

41
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:10.360
Yeah, now, is this kind
of leading up to the five K?

42
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:16.680
It is so we are doing a
pinwheel event, and I believe for

43
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:23.599
a recommendation like twenty dollars donation to
KTI, we will go and plant these

44
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:29.639
awesome pinwheels in your yard or a
yard of someone else's and they will stay

45
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:31.840
there the whole month of April.
You'll also get a blue light bulb,

46
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:38.039
and it's something fun just to spread
awareness for autism and light it up blue.

47
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:40.199
All right, we still have our
light bulb from a ways back.

48
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:46.680
It's we're probably due for another one
and a new pinwill from last year.

49
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:52.000
Yes, So show your support by
lighting up blue and let the pinwell do

50
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:55.680
the talking as well to show your
support. Yes, so we will start

51
00:03:55.719 --> 00:04:00.879
planting the penwheels. You can sign
up for that online as well. That

52
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:04.159
will start April first and end on
April twenty seventh. Oh wow, this

53
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:08.759
is gonna be good. Month of
April is going to be fun. And

54
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:14.319
of course donations and sponsorships are always
welcome, but we need to we're kind

55
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:15.959
of running tight on that. We've
got to have a commitment here pretty soon,

56
00:04:15.959 --> 00:04:20.240
don't we. Yes, that we
do Saturday looks like correct. Now,

57
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:23.519
you got the T shirt, so
I guess some of them will go

58
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:27.160
on the T shirts if they donate
that at certain levels. So Jim Moore

59
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:30.399
State Farm is our lead sponsor at
this time. Way to go, Jim.

60
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:31.839
Yes, and so if you would
like to be on the T shirt,

61
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:36.920
we would need your sponsorship forms and
collect that sooner rather than later.

62
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:44.360
Uh huh. But you can donate
sponsor anytime. Wow, this is gonna

63
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:46.959
be a lot of fun. And
of course, if you're not really a

64
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:50.040
serious runner, the fun Run might
be for you. Tell us a little

65
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:54.839
bit about the Fun run. Sure. The Fun Run is at eight fifteen

66
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:58.439
and it's a shorter distance. I
believe it's about a mile. Feel free

67
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:00.560
to come walk it, jog it, walk, run it. Bring the

68
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:05.160
family. It'll be a lot of
fun. See that's for very former athletes

69
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:10.000
like me, very former you know
what I'm talking about. You know,

70
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:13.920
you know I'm just one step away
from being a test pilot for Lazy Boy,

71
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:15.680
So you know, I'm going to
be doing that walking thing and I'll

72
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:20.560
watch all these folks in great shape
and healthy lungs and tone muscles do the

73
00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:23.839
running and just say, see that, kids, I used to be like

74
00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:27.800
that. What just happened to you? Anyway, But to go out there

75
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:30.959
and have a lot of fun,
and make sure you go to the website

76
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:33.680
too. And when you go to
the website, you'll find just about everything

77
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:39.439
that leads to the five K.
Yes correct. And also we are enrolling

78
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:44.040
students for this upcoming school year.
Oh yes, that information can also be

79
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:47.879
found on the website. Yeah,
that is nice. Now we've got something

80
00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:53.000
else that's coming up on April thirteenth. I want to draw your attention to

81
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:57.040
it because we would be one are
the judges here. I think I got

82
00:05:57.040 --> 00:06:00.879
a permanent set there on the on
the jury here. But this will be

83
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:03.959
what our second annual I believe so, I think that's correct, and we

84
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:11.319
are doing the grilled Cheese challenge.
So Daybreak Rotary is hosting and it is

85
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:15.519
at Cooper and Mill on April thirteenth. They're raising funds to help renovate PCI's

86
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:21.079
playgrounds. Nice. Yeah, you
know, it's amazing just how much is

87
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:29.800
situated there on that little plot of
land and just how resourceful everyone is at

88
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:33.319
PTI to make sure everything fits and
fits well. And with this, with

89
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:39.319
the play equipment, it's going to
be a very nice touch and it's looking

90
00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:43.720
great. Have you seen the new
facilities at all I have? And wow,

91
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:48.680
yes, it is a big improvement. They absolutely deserve that and needed

92
00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:55.800
that to happen. They needed that. Now, this was started by Claire

93
00:06:56.079 --> 00:07:00.240
Bartley, who's been here quite a
many times, and also by Geen Jenten.

94
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:02.759
I'm back in twenty twelve. It's
hard to believe it's only that,

95
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:09.079
all right. Yeah, their programs
have been going so well. They've really

96
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:13.920
got a good plan for the school
getting bigger and better each year. And

97
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:18.560
I believe it started with Jean's son
and they really needed a program specified to

98
00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:23.240
his needs and they have continued that
though, you know, really just focusing

99
00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:28.720
on the students and meeting each student's
personal needs. They're all different. Well,

100
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:31.920
that is really cool. And since
the school has grown, the reputation

101
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:36.959
has grown with it. And I
am keenly aware that there are people who

102
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:42.480
have moved to Bartlesville from elsewhere in
the state of Oklahoma, I mean also

103
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:46.839
some neighboring states as a matter of
fact, just because this school is such

104
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:53.560
a valuable resource and it's something that
their children may need. Absolutely, the

105
00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:58.639
school has been great for Sullivan and
I have no complaints whatsoever. I didn't

106
00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:01.720
think so. I love their program
and really, you know, working there

107
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:05.519
first, I got to see everything
that goes on in elementary and all the

108
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:09.680
way through the adult program. My
goodness, fantastic there. Let's not forget

109
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:13.639
the adult program too, because it's
more than just elementary school kids. It

110
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:20.000
goes on up to what the early
twenties. So I believe the typical program

111
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:22.519
like the high school, will cut
off at twenty one. However, for

112
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:28.519
adults, there's not technically an age
limit. Once you've graduated from the high

113
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:31.279
school, you can join our adult
program. And when I was there,

114
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:35.519
we did recycling. We would go
to city Hall do lots of life skills

115
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:39.720
and kind of some job training.
It is fantastic. It's more than just

116
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:43.600
you know, being stuck in a
classroom somewhere. We're out in the community.

117
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:46.320
We're learning, we're doing things hands
on and having lots of fun and

118
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:50.399
learning how to engage and feel comfortable
engaging. Yes, wow, that is

119
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:54.440
great. Miracles kind of happened down
there, don't they that they do?

120
00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:58.480
They do. So once again,
we've got the big race coming up and

121
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:03.480
that is on April twenty seventh,
with the five k starting at eight and

122
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:07.519
the fun run at eight fifteen,
and that is at forty six twenty east

123
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:11.480
Frank Phillips, and that is lighted
up Blue folks, and that is with

124
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:16.879
our good friends at Pads to Independence. I want to thank you for being

125
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:18.679
here with us today and sharing with
us today. Well, thank you for

126
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:22.000
having me. Oh show those pin
wheels once again. Absolutely, there we

127
00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:26.519
go. We've got several here.
We got it. Those need yards folks.

128
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:31.159
Oh, make sure you get on
the website and ask about the pinwheels

129
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:35.240
and also talk a little bit more. You can get the registration information everything

130
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:39.000
you need for the five k as
well. Absolutely, Hey, Christina,

131
00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:43.200
did I miss anything. I don't
believe so, I think we've covered everything.

132
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:46.759
The pin wheels will come with a
sign and a blue light bulb spreading

133
00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:50.840
out an awareness and light it up
blue. Well, let's line it up

134
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:54.320
indeed, all right? Thank you. You've been watching and listening to our

135
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:56.200
community connection on k one
