00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:05.320
Good morning, good morning, good
morning, and welcome, welcome, welcome

2
00:00:05.320 --> 00:00:09.279
to time now for our community connection
right here on K one the one you

3
00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:13.800
dressed right to impartment by Arnold Moore
and Knee Camp Funeral Home. Right now,

4
00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:18.399
it is eight thirty three and we
have a couple of lovely young ladies

5
00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:21.559
here smiling for the camera. We
have Angie Thompson and you brought a long

6
00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:24.800
friend, Jerry Lindley. How are
you doing, ladies. Ton's good to

7
00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:28.120
see you this morning. It's great
to see both of you. Now,

8
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:33.320
we've got a lot going on at
at elder Cam. We recently just did

9
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:35.640
a news story. Now this is
going to come up, so we'll get

10
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:38.920
to it first because it's hot.
It's hot, it's really hot, and

11
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:43.640
we have Operation cool Room. Yeah, the Cool Room Project. We are

12
00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:50.560
in our fourteenth year of offering single
window air conditioning units for seniors in our

13
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:54.200
area. You know, maybe they
have an air conditioner that's broken and they

14
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:58.840
can't afford to have it repaired,
or maybe they don't have any air conditioning

15
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:03.600
and they need a swindle air conditioner. Well, that's what our Cool Room

16
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:08.760
Project is all about. And we
had a outpouring of support financial support this

17
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:15.120
year to purchase about twenty five air
conditioners, and I think we're almost out.

18
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:18.920
And Jerry's the one who oversees that. I thought it didn't be fun

19
00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:22.159
for her to tell us a little
bit more about the cool room project.

20
00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:25.040
This is, first of all,
it's a great thing. Community needs it,

21
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:29.000
Yes they do. How's a response. It's been wonderful. We have

22
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:38.640
about five left your story. Yes, it's been wonderful, My goodness sakes.

23
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:41.760
You know, you think about this
kind of heat. When we were

24
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:45.120
kids, it was always hot and
sometimes that's all you had was that one

25
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:48.879
room air conditioner, if you had
it at all. But that was when

26
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:52.439
we were kids. Now that you
know, I'm sixty plus, I can't

27
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:56.359
imagine being at a home where I
didn't have at least one place to just

28
00:01:56.519 --> 00:02:00.079
get away from the oppressive heat.
I agree with you, I agree,

29
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:04.840
And and that's why we're able to
help them, because we think of the

30
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:08.039
elderly, and you know that's where
our hearts go out to. And so

31
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:10.879
that's why we did this project,
was to be able to help the ones

32
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:15.960
that needed it. Now. In
years past, you've always had a pretty

33
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:17.840
good outpouring, but boy, this
year I guess it is phenomenal. Yes,

34
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:25.120
yes, that come to me because
the radio station. Okay, really

35
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:30.159
that is that's the truth. We
needed to supply of air conditioners because our

36
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:37.080
supply after COVID was very minimal and
we needed more air conditioners to serve the

37
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:40.479
elderly this year, so we put
a story out we're looking for funds from

38
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:46.520
individuals who have an interest in supporting
that project, and it was an overwhelming

39
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:51.520
response, more than we even needed. So we were able to buy extra

40
00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:55.120
air conditioners, and our supply this
year was greater than we've ever had in

41
00:02:55.159 --> 00:03:00.360
the past. And you guys ran
a story early in the week. You

42
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:04.479
know, I think we had twelve
air conditioners on Monday, and we needed

43
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:07.759
those to go into the homes seniors. You guys and some of our friends

44
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:13.240
put out a story on Facebook.
Now we're down to I think less than

45
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:17.080
five, so we want those to
go in homes this week, So give

46
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:22.080
us a call at Eldercare. Call
Jerry and Jerry. How did you get

47
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:28.159
involved in Eldercare. I had some
friends that worked there that helped me,

48
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:32.599
told me about it, and I
went and I started in a different place

49
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:37.919
than I am now. Sure,
and um I worked there for about five

50
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:42.280
years and then we moved. My
husband's job took us to Tonkua, and

51
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:45.719
then we moved back and I've been
back for about four years now. Oh

52
00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:51.800
why great, this is pretty darn
Yes, well this is well, but

53
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:53.879
a lot of events going on.
Tell us about it. Well, you

54
00:03:53.919 --> 00:04:00.960
know, this is our fortieth year. We're celebrating forty years in Bartlesville this

55
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:05.000
year. Yeah, since nineteen eighty
three we've been offering services and be we're

56
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:10.479
a resource center for all things aging
in place. So this year we are

57
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:15.360
launching several events to help us celebrate. And we just held our very first

58
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:20.560
downsizing after decade seminar yesterday. How
did that go? Because I was looking

59
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:24.199
at that thinking I might need that
a few years. It was a full

60
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:31.560
house session. One featured featured Minutemen
auctions, and you know they talked about

61
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:35.279
how to set up a state sales. Now we're holding the second one on

62
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:40.040
the sixteenth, okay, and that
will be a little different. It will

63
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:44.879
feature Wendell's Rock Shop. Tammy Ross, she's going to talk about valuing jewelry,

64
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:49.399
all that stuff she does, she
absolutely does. And Robin Fullerton,

65
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:55.879
who's a licensed family counselor will talk
about the family dynamics associated with downsizing.

66
00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:00.480
Yeah, good, because that's a
fragile area. Yeah, we all get

67
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:05.079
touchy about grandma's sewing machine. And
then Karen Wilson from Tuesday House, we'll

68
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:10.480
talk about resell you know, and
maybe you want to let your things go

69
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:14.360
to a resell shop so another family
could love them as much as you have

70
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:16.600
loved them. So that'll be session
two, and then session three on the

71
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:23.040
thirtieth of August will be more of
a checklist. A real letor will talk

72
00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:27.639
about some things they need to know
a homeowner would need to know about downsizing.

73
00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:32.800
A couple of the folks for in
the Community clean Up, Carlos Mendez

74
00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:38.040
and Spencer Peers who do that operation
clean up every year, they'll talk about,

75
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:43.600
Yeah, hazardous materials in the home, how do you safely dispose of

76
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:47.680
those? Our best wealth management will
talk briefly about documents that you need to

77
00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:51.079
have in place, and what do
you do with your beloved pets? You

78
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:56.199
know, Yeah, something to think
about there. So there's something different in

79
00:05:56.319 --> 00:06:00.720
every one of the panel discussions and
it will shoot cover everything anyone would want

80
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:04.600
to know about downsizing, but that's
happening this month. It sounds like this

81
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:09.199
might be one of those things you
do every year. Should be yeah,

82
00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:13.399
because you know every year. It's
not like everybody thinks about it just at

83
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:15.600
once and then forgets about it for
a decade or so. This is something

84
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:18.319
that comes up people doing think about
it, and all of a sudden it's

85
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:21.879
like, you know, maybe it's
about time we downsize here. This house

86
00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:26.040
is just getting huge and uh,
you know, we got too many things

87
00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:29.879
here, and yeah, you know
the way it goes. I mean,

88
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:35.399
we're we're looking at the last of
seven leaving. So what are you doing

89
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:41.120
with all your your guitars? Tom
just sold two of them. So maybe

90
00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:45.279
this is this is something that's going
to be very timely for everyone. Right,

91
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:47.360
some of ires that you guys have
been putting out have just been really

92
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:53.480
been great, and that's the feedback
we hear. And Jerry volunteers some in

93
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:57.600
supports that as a greeterer, and
she does some of the back office help

94
00:06:57.720 --> 00:07:00.360
for our parties and events, and
she's a real blessing. She and so

95
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:03.720
many of our employees they work full
time, you know, but they'll also

96
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:08.639
stay after hours or come in on
the weekends and help us with our events.

97
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:13.720
But you're absolutely right. What we're
talking about right now, you know,

98
00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:17.560
is so critical to our community,
and that's Alzheimer's. You know.

99
00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:23.879
Eldercare began in nineteen eighty three as
an outcry from the community for more resources

100
00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:28.399
for families who were maybe they had
a loved one in their home who had

101
00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:32.000
been diagnosed with Alzheimer's or dementia,
and at that time the only option was

102
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:36.720
nursing home placement. That's right,
And in nineteen eighty three, that's why

103
00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:42.800
Eldercare was formed. We wanted to
be a resource for families and Daybreak was

104
00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:46.160
that very first program, Daybreak in
case management. So we've gone back to

105
00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:51.399
our roots this year in celebration of
our fortieth and we've been holding seminars about

106
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:55.959
Alzheimer's and dementia in the community.
Yeah, that's been kind of ongoing.

107
00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:59.560
Yeah, oh my gosh, and
let me tell you the community has really

108
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:01.920
support or that. The next one
will be on the twenty fourth of August.

109
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:05.399
Mary lou Bourke, who is one
of our founders, she's going to

110
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:11.560
do a book review on learning to
Speak Alzheimer's And I think that you know,

111
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:15.800
when we have a family member who
has Alzheimer's, or maybe a very

112
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:20.199
dear friend who's been diagnosed, we
don't really know how to communicate with him.

113
00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:24.839
We're afraid, so we withdraw and
they isolate. But there's a way

114
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:28.720
we can continue to be friends with
them. And that's what that session will

115
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:31.960
be about, learning to speak Alzheimer's. And then we're going to plan a

116
00:08:31.960 --> 00:08:37.639
little party after So, folks,
can you know, fellowship with each other?

117
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:41.240
Wow? This is great. We've
got more coming up. Folks will

118
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:45.200
be right back with more after these
words from Arnold Moore and Knee Camp Home.

119
00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:48.840
First conversation I have with someone's loved
one, I don't care if it's

120
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:54.000
three o'clock in the afternoon or three
o'clock in the morning, That first conversation

121
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:56.720
is, mister X. This is
Tim how with Arnold Moore and Knee Cap

122
00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:00.720
Funeral Home. First of all,
sir, let me say I'm very sorry

123
00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:05.000
we're having to have this conversation right
now. And to the nth degree,

124
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:11.519
those people always appreciate you taking a
moment to just pause and say I'm aware

125
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:16.600
that someone you care about very much
has just left you, and I'm sorry.

126
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:18.960
That we have to do this,
but we have to do this.

127
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:22.000
And if it's three o'clock in the
morning, I try to be brief but

128
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:26.440
concise and say do you have any
questions or anything I can do for you

129
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:31.679
right now before we meet at our
arrangement conference. And sometimes I say,

130
00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:35.200
you know, can you call my
priest? Can you call my pastor?

131
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:37.200
And I don't mind doing that.
It'll be all right. We'll walk through

132
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:41.919
this together. Arnold Moore and Knee
Camp Funeral Home, seven Dewey Martels of

133
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:48.799
Very Life. We will walk through
this together and welcome back. Welcome back.

134
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:52.919
It is our community connection, and
we're talking to our friends from Elder

135
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:58.759
Care, Very Lindley and Angie Thompson. Now we've got this very special member

136
00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:03.399
community. Everyone's heard his voice,
everyone has seen him favorite been out to

137
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:07.679
wool Rock or even at the Frank
Phillips Home. But he's now retired.

138
00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:11.879
He's too young to retire, but
he's still active and boys he ever active.

139
00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:16.159
He's got a new book out.
Yeah, you're talking about Bob Frasier.

140
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:22.320
Yeah, the self finding he doesn't. Yeah, I'm going to retire

141
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:24.000
and write a book, you know. And he's got a podcast to.

142
00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:30.799
You know, Bob is a member
of our board and oh man, we're

143
00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:33.879
just so proud of him. He's
going to be holding an exclusive book signing

144
00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:39.639
at Eldercare on the fifteenth in the
evening at six, And I think what

145
00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:43.879
makes this event so special is he's
selling us books for ten dollars and donating

146
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:48.960
five dollars of that too elder Care. Yeah, and he's also going to

147
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:54.480
begin at six with a few behind
the scene stories and talk about some things

148
00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:56.639
that, um, you know,
people will want to hear that may not

149
00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:00.519
be in the book. So you
want to show up at six and here
