1
00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, good morning, good morning.

2
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:13.960
<v Speaker 2>Welcome, welcome, welcome.

3
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:17.079
<v Speaker 1>It is time now for our community connection city matters

4
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:19.039
<v Speaker 1>right here on kay on the one you trust we

5
00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:21.559
<v Speaker 1>have city counselor Tim Shark with is how you doing, sir?

6
00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:24.280
<v Speaker 3>Doing great? Tom, Good to see you, Good to see you.

7
00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:27.679
<v Speaker 1>You know something, our fire and police and First Free

8
00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:30.239
<v Speaker 1>Spiders do a way a little bit job, and in

9
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:34.439
<v Speaker 1>our neighborhood they did one heck of a job saving

10
00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:35.320
<v Speaker 1>a woman's life.

11
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:38.119
<v Speaker 4>Yes they did. There's a family that's going to have

12
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:41.159
<v Speaker 4>their grandmother at the holidays this year, most likely because

13
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:44.000
<v Speaker 4>of the efforts of our fire crew, and it was

14
00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:48.520
<v Speaker 4>an amazing thing. I looked at the official press releases

15
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:51.320
<v Speaker 4>and that really just didn't tell all the story. There's

16
00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:53.359
<v Speaker 4>other things I gleaned from going through some of the

17
00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:56.479
<v Speaker 4>comments on those posts, and it tells such a broader

18
00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:59.039
<v Speaker 4>story of who Bartlesville is really is.

19
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:00.600
<v Speaker 3>A community and how they can aim together.

20
00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:02.960
<v Speaker 4>A couple of ladies that pulled over to call nine

21
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:05.719
<v Speaker 4>to one to one another police officer that was there

22
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:09.560
<v Speaker 4>to cooperate with our fire crews, the first arriving crew

23
00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:13.239
<v Speaker 4>doing such a fantastic job getting the thing identified, deploying

24
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:16.239
<v Speaker 4>the line and getting the fire knocked down and then

25
00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:21.120
<v Speaker 4>rescuing this lady. The smoke was so heavy they said

26
00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:26.000
<v Speaker 4>it was visibility was reduced to knee level. Now, these

27
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:29.120
<v Speaker 4>are the guys who go in. We rely on them,

28
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:33.959
<v Speaker 4>and we don't hear about them very much. But they

29
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:37.640
<v Speaker 4>saved a life yesterday, and that's a big deal, and

30
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:39.879
<v Speaker 4>I think they deserve our appreciation. If you see a

31
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:42.599
<v Speaker 4>firefighter out anywhere today, make sure you go up and

32
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:45.159
<v Speaker 4>tell them that you appreciate their commitment and all they do.

33
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:48.159
<v Speaker 4>We definitely value their service here in Bartlesville.

34
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:50.560
<v Speaker 1>Very good, very good, And I think a lot of

35
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:55.280
<v Speaker 1>people are seconding that right now. Roads in our town.

36
00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:58.239
<v Speaker 1>You know, as an older person, Yeah, I guess you

37
00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:00.680
<v Speaker 1>hear a little bit about that.

38
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:03.519
<v Speaker 4>Not at all, Not at all, Not a word, Tom,

39
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:10.280
<v Speaker 4>I haven't heard anything. No, it's been a lengthy process. Definitely.

40
00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:15.159
<v Speaker 4>This was a brand new thing. This was experimental for Bartlesville.

41
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:20.280
<v Speaker 4>We'd never done anything like this before. We had a

42
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:23.319
<v Speaker 4>few issues along the way. I'm sure nobody noticed, right,

43
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:29.319
<v Speaker 4>but it was definitely a process that we've learned from.

44
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:31.919
<v Speaker 4>I know that the dust and the gravel and things

45
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:33.080
<v Speaker 4>have been a problem.

46
00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:35.560
<v Speaker 3>In a lot of the areas that people have called out.

47
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:39.400
<v Speaker 4>I've heard about Madison and Frank Phillips particularly being right

48
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:45.080
<v Speaker 4>around ward one. This was something that I don't think

49
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:47.520
<v Speaker 4>anyone could have anticipated. But we did a good job

50
00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:50.479
<v Speaker 4>identifying a great contractor because they came to us and

51
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:53.719
<v Speaker 4>we agreed together, Hey, the subcontractor is not doing a

52
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:58.199
<v Speaker 4>great job, so we replaced them. They identified a better

53
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:00.159
<v Speaker 4>company who had done some work for us before we

54
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:01.800
<v Speaker 4>got him involved, and things.

55
00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:03.560
<v Speaker 3>Have gone much more smoothly. Now.

56
00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:05.840
<v Speaker 4>You'll notice that the h A five sealant is going

57
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:07.199
<v Speaker 4>to be going down around the city.

58
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:08.800
<v Speaker 3>Things are going to be smoothing out.

59
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:10.680
<v Speaker 4>You're going to see that hard black surface that we

60
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:13.639
<v Speaker 4>all expect on a new roadway, and then the striping

61
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:16.919
<v Speaker 4>will be back down. I think it's going to come

62
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:19.280
<v Speaker 4>out at the end of this very well, but we're

63
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:21.560
<v Speaker 4>probably still looking at the very first part of September

64
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:22.120
<v Speaker 4>for completion.

65
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:23.280
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

66
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:26.639
<v Speaker 1>That's making a lot of people breathe easier, Yeah, because

67
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:31.199
<v Speaker 1>that dust was really something I don't think anybody really anticipated.

68
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:34.280
<v Speaker 4>I don't I don't think you know what you're dealing

69
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:36.280
<v Speaker 4>with till you go through at one time. Sure, there's

70
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:38.960
<v Speaker 4>definitely a lot of lessons learned that the city has

71
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:41.759
<v Speaker 4>taken note of. I know Micah Seemers has been very

72
00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:45.400
<v Speaker 4>gracious with his time. Yeah, he is making himself available

73
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:50.039
<v Speaker 4>to field those complaints, handle those questions. So we appreciate

74
00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:52.319
<v Speaker 4>him a lot. He's had to educate a lot of

75
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:55.360
<v Speaker 4>us who have not been through this, and so we

76
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:59.879
<v Speaker 4>definitely want to assure everyone that we're coming to the

77
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:03.719
<v Speaker 4>into the projects. It is going well and it should

78
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:06.560
<v Speaker 4>be completed. I think you'll be happy with the finished result.

79
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:07.000
<v Speaker 2>Very good.

80
00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:12.439
<v Speaker 1>Now we've got our new old golf course. It used

81
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:14.360
<v Speaker 1>to be Adams, Now we changed it to the guy's

82
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:18.240
<v Speaker 1>first name, Boots. It's Boots Hollow and it's going to

83
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:21.480
<v Speaker 1>be opening up for everybody to kind of take a

84
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:24.360
<v Speaker 1>look see on Friday. This has been one of those

85
00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:27.120
<v Speaker 1>projects that if you would have told me any other

86
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:29.839
<v Speaker 1>time that it would be done this quickly, I want

87
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:34.839
<v Speaker 1>to call, you know, Shenanigans. But wow, we got blessed

88
00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:38.759
<v Speaker 1>with some interesting weather that kind of hindered it first

89
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:41.519
<v Speaker 1>but helped in the long run. And this really looks

90
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:44.759
<v Speaker 1>like it's going to be, you know, another sparkling gem

91
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:45.519
<v Speaker 1>in our community.

92
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:47.000
<v Speaker 3>It really is.

93
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:49.920
<v Speaker 4>It's going to be able to draw tourism dollars into Bartlesville.

94
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:53.920
<v Speaker 4>It's going to bring money into our budget that we

95
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:56.199
<v Speaker 4>can then turn around and pour back into the community.

96
00:04:56.279 --> 00:05:00.639
<v Speaker 4>That's a big deal. And it should be named after

97
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:04.519
<v Speaker 4>mister Adams. Of course, the family originally gave some money

98
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:07.399
<v Speaker 4>and the land necessary. I think the history of this

99
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:08.839
<v Speaker 4>goes all the way back to when it was called

100
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:12.399
<v Speaker 4>Sooner Park Golf Course. Oh really yeah, and it was

101
00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:17.439
<v Speaker 4>then over time change to Adams Municipal Golf Course. They

102
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:22.000
<v Speaker 4>have done due diligence, of course, in testing out the branding,

103
00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:24.439
<v Speaker 4>looking at what they thought would work well, and they

104
00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:31.000
<v Speaker 4>actually brought the Adams family into consultation on this, so

105
00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:36.759
<v Speaker 4>mister Adams' sons said, yeah, that'd be great. We appreciate that,

106
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:38.759
<v Speaker 4>we want to make sure and we think Dad would

107
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:40.439
<v Speaker 4>get a kick out of it being called boot Solid.

108
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:45.079
<v Speaker 1>But I can't wait to see how this is going

109
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:48.439
<v Speaker 1>to look. You know, we lost pro and we got

110
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:53.560
<v Speaker 1>mister Rudmen in return, and you know this is going

111
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:55.319
<v Speaker 1>to be a complete changing of the guard.

112
00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:58.519
<v Speaker 4>It is, but I am so impressed with d already

113
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:01.240
<v Speaker 4>as he presented the price structure that they've done to

114
00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:04.439
<v Speaker 4>change up how they're doing things to help the golf

115
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:08.959
<v Speaker 4>course be more sustainable. It was not self sustaining before,

116
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:11.240
<v Speaker 4>and we had not looked at an increase in any

117
00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:14.560
<v Speaker 4>rates in over twenty years. I know that some people

118
00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:17.519
<v Speaker 4>got sticker shock when they first looked at that, but

119
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:19.600
<v Speaker 4>if you look at the overall package of what you

120
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:21.600
<v Speaker 4>can receive for what you're going to pay at that

121
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:22.240
<v Speaker 4>golf course.

122
00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:23.600
<v Speaker 3>You're talking about golf courts.

123
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:27.000
<v Speaker 4>The golf courses all over the place have made some

124
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:29.319
<v Speaker 4>of these changes. We've got golf carts that are going

125
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:32.079
<v Speaker 4>to have GPS on them, and what that means is

126
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:34.759
<v Speaker 4>if the storm's coming, they can send you a notification

127
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:36.759
<v Speaker 4>from the clubhouse that says, hey, you need to get back,

128
00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:40.720
<v Speaker 4>and if the golf course is inundated with rain, they

129
00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:44.120
<v Speaker 4>can also direct those golf courts golf carts not to

130
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:46.439
<v Speaker 4>go off the path. So that's going to reduce the

131
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:50.240
<v Speaker 4>maintenance cost overall. There's some nice packages available that I

132
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:52.600
<v Speaker 4>had not seen on golf rates as well.

133
00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:57.040
<v Speaker 3>So if you are a senior, there's a senior rate.

134
00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:59.800
<v Speaker 4>If you want to buy a package that includes golf

135
00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:01.639
<v Speaker 4>cart art, you can. If you want to walk the course,

136
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:03.920
<v Speaker 4>that's how you get your exercise, then you can do

137
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:06.040
<v Speaker 4>that and save a little money there. But I think

138
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:07.959
<v Speaker 4>overall it's going to be a very good thing for

139
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:09.920
<v Speaker 4>the community. I expect to see a lot of people

140
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:10.839
<v Speaker 4>wanting to come to play.

141
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:13.600
<v Speaker 1>This is going to be a lot of fun. Friday

142
00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:15.800
<v Speaker 1>is going to be kind of the opening. Take a

143
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:17.240
<v Speaker 1>walk around see and I think we're going to be

144
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:18.720
<v Speaker 1>out there with the live broadcast too.

145
00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:20.439
<v Speaker 2>It's going to be going to be interesting.

146
00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:23.839
<v Speaker 1>Tim Shark as our guest, he's a city councilor here

147
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:27.120
<v Speaker 1>in the city of Bartlesville. We had a meeting at

148
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:28.079
<v Speaker 1>the first part of the month.

149
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:30.040
<v Speaker 2>What took place to do that got your attention?

150
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:34.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry what we had a city council meeting, Yes, sir,

151
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:38.720
<v Speaker 1>at the earlier part of the month. What what got

152
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:40.240
<v Speaker 1>your attention most at that meeting?

153
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:43.959
<v Speaker 4>You know, I think it's been a unique opportunity that

154
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:46.000
<v Speaker 4>we've had over the course of the last three meetings

155
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:51.600
<v Speaker 4>really to demonstrate how Bartlesviielle approaches everything with compassion. And

156
00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:54.279
<v Speaker 4>in the last meeting, there was a gentleman who just

157
00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:57.879
<v Speaker 4>kind of had a lot of life happen and a

158
00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:03.879
<v Speaker 4>property that was dilapid. It needed to be remediated or removed.

159
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:07.319
<v Speaker 4>And this gentleman came in. He was very humble about

160
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:10.639
<v Speaker 4>the whole situation. He had an opportunity to pursue a

161
00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:15.279
<v Speaker 4>solution that would allow him to maybe maintain his credit

162
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:19.879
<v Speaker 4>a little bit better and get into another, maybe subsidized opportunity,

163
00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:21.920
<v Speaker 4>and we wanted to help do that, so we allowed

164
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:24.959
<v Speaker 4>him the time to do that, to pursue the deed

165
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:28.279
<v Speaker 4>in lieu of foreclosure. In the meantime, the property is

166
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:31.240
<v Speaker 4>going to be boarded up. They will leave the property

167
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:32.799
<v Speaker 4>as soon as they have the place to go.

168
00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:35.080
<v Speaker 3>I think within thirty days is what we had said

169
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:35.720
<v Speaker 3>about that.

170
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:39.600
<v Speaker 4>And they will be able to get into another place

171
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:44.240
<v Speaker 4>without that obstacle of a bad credit check. The Cherokey Nation,

172
00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:46.639
<v Speaker 4>I think was going to be consulted. He is apparently

173
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:51.559
<v Speaker 4>of Native heritage, and so they were going to pursue.

174
00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:52.039
<v Speaker 3>Getting that as well.

175
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:55.080
<v Speaker 4>But just the opportunity we've had now three times to

176
00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:57.360
<v Speaker 4>look at a situation and try to help the property

177
00:08:57.399 --> 00:09:02.639
<v Speaker 4>owner do something about remediating it, preserving something for themselves,

178
00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:05.360
<v Speaker 4>helping them along to a better future, I think that

179
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:09.879
<v Speaker 4>is definitely an honorable path, and I've been pleased to

180
00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:12.159
<v Speaker 4>see how we've all been able to pursue that together.

181
00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:14.559
<v Speaker 1>And that's it's it's very good because some people only

182
00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:16.879
<v Speaker 1>see one thing to get that tunnle vision, and it's

183
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:20.919
<v Speaker 1>like despair, right, and it's like I give up, thrown

184
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:24.480
<v Speaker 1>in the towel. But when you're provided with some options

185
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:28.799
<v Speaker 1>or different avenues in order to get things done, what's

186
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:31.679
<v Speaker 1>best for everyone, that works best, that works.

187
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:34.240
<v Speaker 4>Best, Yes, definitely, and I think I think he's going

188
00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:37.679
<v Speaker 4>to take full advantage of it. One of our council

189
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:40.240
<v Speaker 4>members actually had some personal experience with the family which

190
00:09:40.279 --> 00:09:44.000
<v Speaker 4>shown a little bit brighter light on parts of the

191
00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:47.480
<v Speaker 4>situation for all of us, and can we can definitely

192
00:09:47.519 --> 00:09:52.320
<v Speaker 4>empathize around what he was going through. So we want,

193
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:54.159
<v Speaker 4>we want the community to know that we really do

194
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:56.200
<v Speaker 4>care for them.

195
00:09:56.240 --> 00:10:02.039
<v Speaker 1>Now our council coming up when we meet again in September,

196
00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:07.399
<v Speaker 1>we got some some things that are interested in interested

197
00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:11.080
<v Speaker 1>of interest to you in particular and to your ward

198
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:11.759
<v Speaker 1>coming up.

199
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:12.200
<v Speaker 2>Or just.

200
00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:16.279
<v Speaker 3>I haven't seen the full agenda yet.

201
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:18.000
<v Speaker 2>Neither of by I thought maybe you had eyes on

202
00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:18.960
<v Speaker 2>it before I know.

203
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:22.600
<v Speaker 4>We're we're actually waiting on that and the next meeting will.

204
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:24.320
<v Speaker 3>Actually be right after a holiday, so it's not going

205
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:25.480
<v Speaker 3>to be a Monday night day.

206
00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:27.759
<v Speaker 4>I forget about that, right, So it's going to be

207
00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:29.440
<v Speaker 4>the Tuesday night after Labor Day.

208
00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:32.399
<v Speaker 3>Mark your calendars if you'd like to attend. We'd love

209
00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:32.960
<v Speaker 3>to see you there.

210
00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:36.360
<v Speaker 4>We don't have the full agenda out yet, so I

211
00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:40.200
<v Speaker 4>don't really have any any club that No, that's that's.

212
00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:41.720
<v Speaker 1>I thought maybe you had a little bit more of

213
00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:42.440
<v Speaker 1>a heads up than I.

214
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:45.720
<v Speaker 3>Not quite yet.

215
00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:48.720
<v Speaker 4>But what I would like to take just a minute

216
00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:50.759
<v Speaker 4>with is is our community Center if we could.

217
00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:53.120
<v Speaker 2>That's yeah, what a beautiful thing that is.

218
00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:58.080
<v Speaker 4>It is a uniquely designed piece of architecture that is

219
00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:03.440
<v Speaker 4>asset to the community, does so many things. I am

220
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:05.080
<v Speaker 4>one of the people that kind of grew up in

221
00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:07.200
<v Speaker 4>that building a little bit, going all the way back

222
00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:10.399
<v Speaker 4>to the very first arts encounters that were opened up there,

223
00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:18.000
<v Speaker 4>so summer arts for kids, music, ballet, theater, art exhibits.

224
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:22.559
<v Speaker 4>It really is And what I would like to encourage

225
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:25.960
<v Speaker 4>everyone to do is to take full advantage of everything

226
00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:27.960
<v Speaker 4>that you can at the Community Center. They're going to

227
00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:31.720
<v Speaker 4>be offering some packages for tickets for Broadway in Bartlesville,

228
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:34.960
<v Speaker 4>for example. They're looking for new subscribers. I think you'll

229
00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:37.279
<v Speaker 4>enjoy yourself. I think your whole family can have a

230
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:39.759
<v Speaker 4>good time there. And if you're planning any kind of

231
00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:42.960
<v Speaker 4>charitable giving, this is something that we need to really

232
00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:45.159
<v Speaker 4>get behind as a community because some of the things

233
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:49.240
<v Speaker 4>that are in the community Center today have not been changed.

234
00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:51.240
<v Speaker 3>In forty three years.

235
00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:56.360
<v Speaker 4>That means when I was thirteen years old, Okay, I

236
00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:02.519
<v Speaker 4>was still in in Bartles mid High and that's what

237
00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:06.559
<v Speaker 4>they called it at the time. And we have some

238
00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:09.120
<v Speaker 4>pieces and parts of equipment that have not been changed

239
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:11.000
<v Speaker 4>in that length of time. And some of these are

240
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:13.440
<v Speaker 4>kind of big ticket items. Some things that we need

241
00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:15.759
<v Speaker 4>to do for the Community Center will involve making it

242
00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:18.000
<v Speaker 4>where we can bring in bigger and better shows, bigger

243
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:23.919
<v Speaker 4>named stars, new rigging that we need, more modern lighting systems.

244
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:26.200
<v Speaker 4>If you're doing anything, if you want to give to

245
00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:29.559
<v Speaker 4>a civic cause, that's going to be a great place

246
00:12:29.559 --> 00:12:30.279
<v Speaker 4>to put your money.

247
00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:30.919
<v Speaker 2>Now.

248
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:33.559
<v Speaker 1>I just had Battery Halts in here the other day

249
00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:38.039
<v Speaker 1>and she said that they have been getting a lot

250
00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:43.039
<v Speaker 1>of people requesting more family friendly types of entertainment, so

251
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:46.799
<v Speaker 1>they added two extra shows on yes that are designed

252
00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:50.480
<v Speaker 1>for families Dinosaur Live. So I guess you know this

253
00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:52.879
<v Speaker 1>is for the edy biddies, you know, because what kid

254
00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:55.639
<v Speaker 1>under the age of nine does it like dinosaurs?

255
00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:57.720
<v Speaker 3>What kid under the age of ninety?

256
00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:01.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Even better? Yeah, even better.

257
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:02.879
<v Speaker 4>Yet, I know a lot of folks would like to

258
00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:06.919
<v Speaker 4>go out and go to those dinosaur exhibits that people

259
00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:09.240
<v Speaker 4>that own the Jurassic Park collections and things like that,

260
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:12.639
<v Speaker 4>and yeah, not many of them are the littles no.

261
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:14.559
<v Speaker 2>Our age, I know.

262
00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:16.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm just I was trying to try to throw some

263
00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:21.080
<v Speaker 1>light away from that. But anyway, from ninety to ninety,

264
00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:24.559
<v Speaker 1>this will be something for the kids. And also I

265
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:27.919
<v Speaker 1>know that the what they call tween agers, Yes, you know,

266
00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:32.039
<v Speaker 1>they love Taelor Swift, and they've got a Taylor Taylor

267
00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:35.679
<v Speaker 1>Swift tribute show coming up here pretty soon, I get.

268
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:39.200
<v Speaker 1>I think it's in September, and that's geared for the

269
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:42.360
<v Speaker 1>entire family as well. So you're not gonna get embarrassed.

270
00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:43.679
<v Speaker 1>You're not gonna, you know.

271
00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:45.720
<v Speaker 2>Be like, oh my gosh, what am I doing here?

272
00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:47.960
<v Speaker 1>You know your kids are gonna love it, and you're

273
00:13:47.960 --> 00:13:49.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna love watching your kids be happy.

274
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:50.279
<v Speaker 3>Right.

275
00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:53.360
<v Speaker 4>They also are doing these Friday night things where they're

276
00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:54.600
<v Speaker 4>showing movies outside.

277
00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:55.360
<v Speaker 3>That's true.

278
00:13:56.240 --> 00:13:58.759
<v Speaker 4>If the weather permits, you should go. I mean, it's

279
00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:01.120
<v Speaker 4>always going to be a family friendly movie. The last

280
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:03.480
<v Speaker 4>thing they showed was The Parent Trap. I think you'll

281
00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:06.399
<v Speaker 4>really enjoy yourself. I think they have some concessions around

282
00:14:06.399 --> 00:14:08.200
<v Speaker 4>so everybody can kind of kick back. I know it's

283
00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:11.759
<v Speaker 4>been really warm, but it's a really good opportunity to

284
00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:13.879
<v Speaker 4>get out and make connections in the community and get

285
00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:15.559
<v Speaker 4>to know your neighbors and have a good time.

286
00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:18.679
<v Speaker 1>Hey, folks want to contact you. They got to maybe

287
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:21.240

<v Speaker 2>Alrighty. The first
