00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:02.439
Good morning, good morning, good
morning, and welcome, welcome, welcome

2
00:00:02.439 --> 00:00:05.879
to time from part two of our
community conection right here on K one the

3
00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:09.039
one to trust Amy Finn Easier with
us and I can only guess that we're

4
00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:13.400
going to be talking a little bit
about fun today, are we. Oh,

5
00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:16.879
that's what we're all about when we
talk Ali, we are talking.

6
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:21.120
We are talking, Holli, and
it's back to school of time for the

7
00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:26.160
kids and also the kids at heart
that would be us, that is us.

8
00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:28.839
So tell us a little bit about
Ali. First of all, what

9
00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:33.439
does ol I stand for? For
the folks who've not been around for our

10
00:00:33.479 --> 00:00:39.000
propos? Lifelong Learning Institute? Okay, that sounds like something that people my

11
00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:44.399
age could get into. You would
really enjoy it because we always are looking

12
00:00:44.439 --> 00:00:48.439
for something. We might be retired, but we're not retired from learning.

13
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:53.439
That's true. You learned something new
every day. So we try to give

14
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:58.799
people an opportunity to continue to learn. And what my job is on the

15
00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:03.439
Bartlesville Coordinators, so I try to
find speakers and classes that would interest people.

16
00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:10.959
And we're getting ready to start our
fall semester starts September the nineteenth,

17
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:17.400
runs through November the nineteen, and
I'm going to tell you about our classes.

18
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:21.239
First of all, I see Monday. That looks pretty good. Well,

19
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:25.640
you know, we have so many
of us have these air fryers and

20
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:30.680
different appliances like that, and we
just barely know how to use them,

21
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:37.920
or maybe don't even so in the
box after Christmas doing it. So we'll

22
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:42.519
have a class that we'll teach you. And this is gonna be taught by

23
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:49.760
the Extension Office and teach you how
to use these different appliances. Cool.

24
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:55.760
I think it'd just be great.
And Stacy Dawson with the Yeah, it's

25
00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:57.760
gonna do that, of course.
And this is gonna be at the library.

26
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:02.200
Yes, all of our classes except
for one will be at the library.

27
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:06.159
Okay, good because they got that
nice little kitchen and well it's not

28
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:12.000
little it is, but you know
what it's. It is so ultra modern.

29
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:19.000
You have to use their utensils to
cook with. If you don't know

30
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:22.000
how to use them already, then
they've got to give you a little quick,

31
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:27.719
a little bit of learning to do
them. Oh, but that's good.

32
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:30.560
It's all part of the fun of
learning. Yes, And at our

33
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:39.400
age, we enjoy it when somebody
doesn't perform properly. It's entertainment because we

34
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:43.560
feel a little bit better about ourselves
because we know that could have been ourselves.

35
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:46.759
Life has taught us to learn to
laugh at ourselves indeed, and you

36
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:50.520
know that's part of the fun of
ALI too. We got lots of classes.

37
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:53.680
What goodness you came here with.
It's an armload of these things.

38
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:58.719
Yes, it's a lot of work
to put this together. Yeah, I'm

39
00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:01.719
just I'm looking. That's a main
goodness thinks. Yeah, you didn't play

40
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:06.520
around this summer. So what do
we got on Tuesdays here? Okay,

41
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:09.680
on Tuesdays we have a town hall
that's really popular and what I try to

42
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:19.840
do there is get speakers for from
industry organizations just different things like that.

43
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:27.240
And so what we have for the
town hall is we have Michelle Kellnese,

44
00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:31.719
who's going to teach us about,
you know, downsizing. We're at the

45
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:37.159
states where we need to downsize.
So it's tips for praising and selling and

46
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:42.360
doteint et your items, how to
sort that out. Then we have Pete

47
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:50.439
Wallersheet, who is a professional magician
magic man. That should be a lot

48
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:53.719
of fun and should be Then we
have Joe Williams on the third of October.

49
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:59.199
He's gonna give us a history on
Rita Pump and since he worked for

50
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:03.000
them, it'll be a personal journey
that he'll talk about. Uh. And

51
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:09.599
then Jack Flaherty it's going to be
due History, the start in times of

52
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:16.000
Duey, Oklahoma. And then we
have Kennedy McCall with the OSU Extension Office.

53
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:21.240
She's gonna do Master Gardners for us. Good. Yeah. And Jonathan

54
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:26.800
Eickman is from the Voice of Murders. I don't know if very many people

55
00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:29.439
know about them or not. We
just played him. It's a little bit

56
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:32.000
ago. We do it every day. Very interesting group. Oh they are

57
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:38.439
they are? I'm really yes,
yes, and I'm really looking forward to

58
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:43.759
that. And then we have Karl
Kyle Thorison who's the park ranger out at

59
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:49.079
Osage Hills. He's been doing some
excavating and found some things and so he's

60
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:54.439
gonna give us an update and he
not only gives a good presentation, but

61
00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:59.560
he's an entertainer as well. That's
what I've been told. So everybody lives

62
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:09.120
here. But and then on Wednesdays, Oh Tusie. Also we finally brought

63
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:15.000
back the movies and Sidney Bremer's going
to be doing that and this session will

64
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:23.000
be on immigrant perspectives. She's brought
back the old movies Black and Whites and

65
00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:29.120
it was Comedies last semester and she's
really really good at this. Then we

66
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:34.079
have wine tasting and this class has
filled up. I wonder why, Yes,

67
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:41.399
Captain Palis is doing that, and
it's on domestic wines. It bring

68
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:48.360
your owner, no no, she
brings the wine and you get sample two

69
00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:51.839
and and you're supposed to analyze it
and all that. She teaches you how

70
00:05:51.879 --> 00:06:00.160
to do that and it's pretty interesting. On Wednesdays we have Bubbles has a

71
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:04.480
lot of retired professionals that could teach
these classes, but they'll say they have

72
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:09.439
a life and they don't want to
commit to a series of classes. So

73
00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:14.040
we kind of look outsides and like
Stillwater, Tulsa, and Uphoma City,

74
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:18.000
they all have some retired professors that
are always happy to get back in because

75
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:21.399
all the people are so much fun
to work with. They pay a lot

76
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:27.800
more attention to them than their students
did and get more involved, so they

77
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:33.040
really enjoy that. So one of
those classes is going to be these strategies

78
00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:39.360
to promote brain health, which we
all could use. Now, these are

79
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:43.839
live feeds that are going to come
into the library. Okay, so you

80
00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:46.439
don't have to say a lot because
they say, I'm not doing that zoom

81
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:49.600
clash, you know. So we're
bringing it into the library so you can

82
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:54.279
come in there just like you're going
to a regular class. Then we have

83
00:06:54.639 --> 00:07:00.000
carbon Stone, which is gravestone graphics
and cemetery customs that should be really really

84
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:08.560
interesting. And then we have on
Thursday another live feed which is Cherokee old

85
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:15.720
Settlers and Johnny to Mullins is really
really good about Indian history and that sort

86
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:20.319
of thing, so that's really interesting. Then we have a Silent Journey,

87
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:25.920
which is untold stories from the past. I don't know if you know Andy

88
00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:32.720
Taylor or not from the newspaper in
Keaney. He always researches local history and

89
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:36.120
so that's I'm not sure what his
topics are going to be, but that's

90
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:41.600
what he's doing. He's very entertaining. And then we'll wind up with a

91
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:47.319
Dewey day trip and we'll go to
the Toms Museum, Dewey Hotel, and

92
00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:53.519
to Prairie Song. You know something
that the tom Mix Museum will kind of

93
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:56.279
throw you off a little bit,
because when you come right up to it,

94
00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:59.000
you think, well, that looks
kind of small, and then you

95
00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:03.480
get in and collo the thing is
huge, is really deep, and it

96
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:07.480
goes way back around and back up
to the front. It's really a sizeable

97
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:09.319
to see him, and it's really
well worth the price of a bishop.

98
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:13.759
It does. And you know these
old heroes, if you will. The

99
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:20.680
thing that surprised me the most is
when I saw how big he wasn't yeah,

100
00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:24.839
even about my height, maybe even
shorter. I think he was about

101
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:31.120
the size of my middle son,
who wishes he was bigger. But but

102
00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:33.639
the thing is on that screen he
looks six foot four, I know,

103
00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:39.799
I know, And then really he
wore that. Yes, yes, And

104
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:43.440
we're gonna have a booth this year
out at the Washington County Fair. Oh

105
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:48.360
so, if you want a catalog
that has all about Ali and the classes

106
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:52.960
and everything, we have those in
different places around town, the library and

107
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:58.679
and just several different places. But
we're gonna be out at the fair as

108
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:01.159
well. We'll have a booth out
there. We'll have the catalogs and if

109
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:05.240
you want more information you need some
help to sign up for any of the

110
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:07.720
classes, we'll be glad to help
you. So great. Well, we're

111
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:11.080
gonna be broadcasting out there. Fine
check you out and just say see how

112
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:16.279
you're getting along. O the word
come out and busy yet okay? Yes,

113
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:18.480
by all means all right, and
you'll be an air conditioned comfort for

114
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:24.960
sure too. I can guarantee that
that's so. It's nice. It's always

115
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:28.759
nice. And if the folks are
handy on the computer, where can they

116
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:31.639
go on the computer to maybe just
kind of get an overview of it all?

117
00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:37.840
Well, Ali has a Facebook page, huh, and also a website

118
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:46.639
and you can go to Ali dot
Okay State dot edu for the complete descriptions

119
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:50.480
and also the register. Now you
do have to be a member to take

120
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:56.039
the class. However, the town
hall is free oh yeah to anybody.

121
00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:58.919
But we want you to register because
we need names. You have a headcount,

122
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:03.440
you know, me chair to put
in there. It helps, yes,

123
00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:07.440
we do. But it is free, and that's a good opportunity for

124
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:13.919
anybody to just come and hear whatever
subject might be interesting to them, and

125
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:18.200
also to kind of get an idea
of the quality of classes that we have.

126
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:22.159
Oh wonderful, Amy, it's always
a blast having you in here today.

127
00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:24.080
And thank you very much. We'll
be seeing you at the fair.

128
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:30.039
Oh yes, that's exciting already.
I love the fairs. I do too.

129
00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:33.840
Take care of folks. You've been
listening and watching our community connection right

130
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:35.000
here on K one
