00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:12.080
Good morning, good morning, good
morning, and welcome, welcome, welcome.

2
00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:15.599
It is time now for our community
connection right here on Kay one,

3
00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:18.920
the one you trust. Love you, miss Christin Kurrent. How are you

4
00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:21.719
doing today? I am doing great. Thank you so much for having me.

5
00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:25.440
Oh my goodness. It's always great
to have you in because you're always

6
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:31.160
going to bring in something fun,
something a little bit unusual or unique,

7
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:35.079
and it's always for a great cause. And of course we're you're talking about

8
00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:41.439
Samaritan Counseling and Growth Center and some
innovative ways to help keep things rolling the

9
00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:44.159
way they need to be for people
who really need to help. Yes,

10
00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:47.399
so what do you have this time? You've been cooking up something, haven't

11
00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:52.159
you. Yeah, So we have
our spring fundraising event. It is the

12
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:56.840
second annual Cornhole for a Cause.
Uh huh. So this is our second

13
00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:00.840
year. We used to have the
large breakfast every year after about twenty years.

14
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:04.719
We switched it up last year to
a cornhole tournament. So that went

15
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:07.640
great last year and we're going to
do it again this year. Now where

16
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:11.560
we where are we going to be
corn holding? It will be at Cooper

17
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:14.879
and Mill and Cooper and Mill.
All right, we all know where that

18
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:19.599
is right downtown on Second Street?
Yes, yeh, second, what's the

19
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:23.280
crossroad there? It's right across the
street from Franken Lowland. Yeah, okay,

20
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:27.000
Cooper and Mill. Cooper and Mill, downtown And it will be on

21
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:34.439
Saturday, March second, at two
pm. Alright, March second to two.

22
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:38.159
So you got two and two.
I like that, remember, especially

23
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:41.879
for an aging fellow like me.
All right, this is going to be

24
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:44.879
a lot of fun. Is this
teams or is this individuals or do you

25
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:49.040
have to get signed up by a
certain time? I don't know how does

26
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:52.760
it work? So it is teams
of two. So it is one hundred

27
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:57.280
dollars for a team of two,
and you can sign up through our event

28
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:00.640
website and I know you'll post the
link to that. You can also sign

29
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:07.319
up on the Scoreholo app. So
those that are really into cornhole, there

30
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:09.800
is an app for cornhole tournaments that
you can find. You can locate us

31
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:14.639
on there and sign up that way
as well. So teams of two and

32
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:19.439
it will be a round robin,
double elimination style cornhole tournament. You know,

33
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:27.479
when I was living for they called
it bags. Yes, I've heard

34
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:30.240
that something like that, And then
I moved to Florida, down to the

35
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:34.960
University of Florida, Gainesville, you
know, lived there for about ten years

36
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:38.680
and the cornhole and it's been cornhole
back in Iowa, we have been cornhole

37
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:42.800
over here. I think they just
forgot about that bag thing all together.

38
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:47.960
And ESPN during COVID that was the
big sport. The people were glued to

39
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:52.719
the TV watching that. It's gotten
big. So last year it was pretty

40
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:57.439
great. We had people that traveled
in for it and good and all over

41
00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:01.680
Kansas. Some young kids that it
took first place last year, So we'll

42
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:05.919
see if they're back. They were
fun to watch last year, so they

43
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:08.400
were and you know, it's a
great way to pass the afternoon. It's

44
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:12.840
a great way to have fund Nobody
gets hurt. You can't put an eye

45
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:15.879
out playing court Hall, right,
and on top of that, it is

46
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:20.639
for a great cause. It is
when we talk about Samaritan Counseling and Growth

47
00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:24.360
Center. We're right here in Bartlesville, but we serve anybody who needs help

48
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:29.280
within the region, don't we Right, Yes, this is actually our fiftieth

49
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:34.759
year to be in business in Bartlesville, so it's a it's a big milestone

50
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:38.719
for us. This year, and
we hope to have many more. This

51
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:43.680
fundraiser is unique for us though you
know, our our fall fundraiser goes to

52
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:51.080
our general operating This one is actually
a portion of the proceeds goes towards our

53
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:58.960
Safe Subsidy, So that is for
individuals children, women and males, anyone

54
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:03.479
that has been sexually or physically abused. So our Safe Subsidy helps subsidize those

55
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:10.400
costs for individuals that cannot otherwise afford
counseling. Wow, that's amazing, it

56
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:13.360
really is. You know, I
got to tell you you got a great

57
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:15.319
resource here, and it's right over
there by Sooner Park, Yes, right

58
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:20.360
across from Center Park scenery. You
can't, is it. But the thing

59
00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:26.120
is, it's the amount of care
that people are getting and the quality of

60
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:31.800
care which is really unsurpassed in the
area. And it's one of those resources

61
00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:34.839
we've got to keep going. We
like you said, it's been fifty years.

62
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:40.720
Let's have some fun down at Cooper
Mill on March second, and let's

63
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:45.360
make sure that we go another fifty
Now. You were guys were one of

64
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:50.120
the first to do this. Tellalth
Telehealth, because here we are, we've

65
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:54.959
got people during the middle of a
pandemic. Nobody really knows, you know,

66
00:04:55.079 --> 00:05:00.000
anything about it. They still really
don't. But folks were very,

67
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:08.720
very afraid to be out and this
really helped people cope with that and everything

68
00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:14.279
else that they may have been,
you know, trying to handle at the

69
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:18.319
same time on top of another right
and thinking mental health right, I mean,

70
00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:24.439
that is something that is very much
needed as counseling through this time.

71
00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:28.000
So we that is something that we
kicked off during COVID and we're continuing to

72
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:34.040
do in some instances today because somethings
just can't get out right, and sometimes

73
00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:38.519
it's the physical thing, and it's
just great to have and it's great to

74
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:43.959
be on the cutting edge or something
so cool. Now you speaking of that.

75
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:46.079
Last time you were here, you
were with another young lady of one

76
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:50.439
of the therapists. Yes, and
you've got something that's going on still through

77
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:54.079
March, right, Yes, Can
you tell us a little bit about that

78
00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:58.759
refreshes a little sure? Yes,
So we do neuro feedback services. We

79
00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:04.439
are the only center in the area
that provides nuro feedback. So we have

80
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:11.079
a special deal right now that it
takes off almost five hundred dollars from the

81
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:15.120
cost so and it goes through March. So if that's something that anybody has

82
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:18.759
been thinking about, I've heard of
that it might be something that I want

83
00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:24.079
to do. Now would be the
time to kick start that. We recommend

84
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:30.600
about thirty sessions to see with the
therapist and it really turns around. You

85
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:34.959
know, people have come off medications
and things like that, so really geared

86
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:42.360
towards you know, it helps break
behaviors to start new good ones. Right,

87
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:48.920
so ADHD, anxiety depression, things
like that, it rein to go

88
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:53.120
down the lane. Yep, yep. Don't we all need that? You

89
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:56.319
know, I'm not a doctor and
I don't pretend to be one. But

90
00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:00.399
when she explained it here that last
time, that that's what it's up with

91
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:03.480
me was the simplicity of it is
that you know, yeah, there's a

92
00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:08.720
lot of things that you got to
be a you know, brain need to

93
00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:11.720
do. But the easiest way to
explain it is that it just helps you

94
00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:15.439
find a different clear lane for your
brain to operate. Yes, absolutely,

95
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:19.720
that is wonderful again't cut it so? So, yes, so through through

96
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:25.439
March is a special deal. So
now at Cooper and Mill they got that

97
00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:27.600
thing, they got that big room
in the back. This is where we're

98
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:29.800
going to have this, Yes,
so it will be in the back.

99
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:32.040
We'll have a tournament going on.
We'll have a little practice play at the

100
00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:39.040
beginning and then we'll kick off the
tournament double elimination and should have I think

101
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:42.680
about four sets of boards, so
eight teams at a time, and we'll

102
00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:46.759
have a practice board outside. Hopefully
it'll be nice weather again this year,

103
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:49.519
and so that way people can practice
outside. We'll also have a food truck,

104
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:55.279
so shorties will have a food truck
there, so stop just spoiling me

105
00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:59.680
anybody that's hungry. And then of
course drinks at Cooper and Mill and well

106
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:01.959
you had to be hungry. We
just have to pretend to be hungry shorts.

107
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:05.000
Is that good, right? And
and we'll have raffles as well,

108
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:09.839
so a little bit if you don't
play Cornhall, you want to just come

109
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:13.920
out and watch for taking the raffles
and food and drinks and just hang out.

110
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:16.920
We'd love that too. Well,
there's going to be a lot of

111
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:18.920
people. You guys had a houseful
last year, Yes, it was,

112
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:24.920
it was fun. We'll have we'll
have a DJ DJ Paul ready and so

113
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:28.120
it'll be it'll be a good time. That is great. Now you have

114
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:31.720
a website, so if folks want
to find out a little bit more about

115
00:08:31.039 --> 00:08:35.240
Samaritan Counseling and Growth Center, where
did they go on the World Wide Web?

116
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:41.519
Yes, Samaritan Bartlesville dot org.
That easy easy. I like that.

117
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:43.840
That's a nice shortsweek that tells you
where you're going and where. Sure.

118
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:48.639
Yeah, so location, our services
and a little bit about us.

119
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:52.679
And it even has a link to
our two events this year on there,

120
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:56.279
so well hot dog, Yes,
and you know, tell you what do

121
00:08:56.279 --> 00:09:00.600
you guys really have it going on
there and we really appreciate the great services

122
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:05.440
that you that you provide for people. And once again, you know,

123
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:11.799
this is something we're in a day
and age where getting counseling is completely different

124
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:16.200
than what it was like say in
the last century. Sure when I was

125
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:20.440
young, Yeah, I mean people
went, but they didn't say anything about

126
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:24.799
it, right, and it was
very private and it's still very private.

127
00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:28.360
That is your business. It's not
anybody else's business. Yeah, But the

128
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:31.039
thing is there's no taboo. That's
the goal is to break that stigma,

129
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:35.519
and it's something that you know,
everybody can use and just someone to talk

130
00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:39.360
to here and there, right,
you know, we all need that.

131
00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:43.440
And whether or not you think that
you don't, you probably have already had

132
00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:48.679
a conversation with someone that pretty much
replicates some of the conversations might be one

133
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:54.039
up closed doors. So it's nothing
that's you know, stranger unusual. It's

134
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:58.600
just let's let's get to the root
of what's going on here, let's find

135
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:01.759
out if you thanks, And it's
really so, and that's part of the

136
00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:07.159
growth part. You get to grow
with a person. Absolutely, you get

137
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:11.960
to grow as a better person,
happier person, healthier person. Person maybe

138
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:15.720
who might someday want to go play
Cornwall. Yes, and there was good

139
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:18.600
Cooper and Mill and that is going
to be Saturday, March the second,

140
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:24.120
at two pm. Now, Kristin, you've been the interim executive director for

141
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:28.159
ten years now, right, heh
Yeah, it's been eighteen months, so

142
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:33.159
you know it's a special place and
you've get on that board a long time.

143
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:37.279
Yeah, since January twenty seventeen,
I think, so I've been tied

144
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:41.320
in since I moved back to Bartlesville. And yeah, and always have my

145
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:43.360
heart well, you know what,
it's a great place to have your heart

146
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:46.679
right there. Where where folks need
help once, thank you for coming in?

147
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:50.440
Is oh, yes, there anything
else that I mean miss because sometimes

148
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:52.480
I just get going. No,
I think that's it. I will just

149
00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:58.159
say we do have sponsorships still available, so even if you don't play cornhole

150
