You’re In the Army Now For the 99.5% of Americans who have never served in the military, it can be a foreign way of life.

From the trials of boot camp to the unique chain of command to world-wideconflict zones; it’s just not something most of us encounter, including myself. But through the Leadership Oklahoma (LOK) program, I and fifty other Oklahomans had the opportunity to spend a weekend at Fort Sill in Lawton, experiencing some semblance of what new recruits go through…from loud drill sergeants to 5am physical training to the shooting range and MRE meals. While it wasn’t exactly a “pleasant” weekend, I learned some important things: • Basic Training is a transformative experience for the 18 year-old “kids” who typically experience it.

• We ate several meals with recruits only three weeks into their training. Despite the hardships and challenges, they were the most focused 18 year olds I’d ever metand they all had a strong desire to serve.

• Seeing how they were training, the standards they were meeting, the skills they were learning and the science behind all of it, I became well convinced of the professionalism our military force maintains.

• Having spent time with the drill sergeants too, I came to understand the tremendous importance of their job, molding young men and women into American soldiers.

I left wishing more civilians had the chance to see what goes into the making of America’s military.

It’s impressive. And for those kids in the early stages of training, Iwanted to give them a hug and tell them how proud we all are of them. While we can’t all waltz onto base and do that, there is something we all can do. This Veteran’s Day, attend a ceremony, shake a veteran’s hand, tell them how proud we are of them. Our volunteer military is second to none because of those folks. And I don’t know about you, but I sleep better at night knowing that’s the case.

Cover Story Sponsored by

William Shelton’s Remarkable Journey from Moore High School to Four-Star General As a young boy growing up in the 60’s, William Shelton was captivated by space travel. Among those formative memories are some early wake-up calls from his parents.

“My parents used to get me up for those early Mercury and Gemini space launches,” said Shelton. “I was hooked from that early age, and I knew that I wanted to do something in the aerospace industry.”

He began that pursuit by taking flying lessons with plans on becoming a pilot but found that his eyes weren’t good enough to follow that path. His fascination with space was so profound that he was already wondering what he could do to be somehow involved in the business of sending man and satellites beyond the reaches of earth’s gravitational pull.

Around his 7th-grade year, he discovered the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

“I don't know if I just saw pictures or what,” said Shelton, “But I decided that's where I want to go to school, and as it worked out, that’s where I was able to go.”

His first days at the Academy were eye-opening. It was the early 1970’s. The Vietnam War was in full swing, the world was awakened to terrorism by the 1972 Summer Olympics massacre in Munich, and at home, America was dealing with racism, Watergate, and the oil crisis. Shelton learned that many of his Academy classmates were dealing with some of these issues on a personal level. As he

listened to their stories, he gained an understanding of the depth of these problems. It also gave him a deep appreciation for his life in Moore.

“I feel pretty blessed to have grown up where I did,” said Shelton. “I grew up in a very peaceful environment and a very loving, caring community. I just didn’t have any of that history that I was burdened with. I’m grateful that I didn’t have to go through all of that until I was mature enough to really take it in and think about it on a right level.”

Shelton decided to pursue a degree in astronautical engineering. He followed that Bachelor of Science degree with a Master’s in Astronautical Engineering at the United States Air Force Institute of Technology at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. It was while he was in graduate school, rising in rank from Second Lieutenant to Captain, that he received a call that was so exciting he could hardly believe it.

“NASA called and asked, ‘How would you like to work on the space shuttle at the Johnson Space Center?’” said Shelton.

“It was one of those moments when you can just hardly contain your glee. I managed to say something like, ‘Yeah, that would be nice.’ But really I was jumping around thinking what a great privilege this was.”

What followed for Shelton, now a Captain, was a four-and-a-halfyear assignment working in Mission Control during the first 18 U.S. space shuttle missions. Shelton said the chance to be involved in this formative space program is still one of his favorite memories.

“What you did during the day was national news during the evening,” said Shelton. “It was just one of those extraordinary times.”

Today most Americans look at the shuttle launches as somewhat routine. Shelton said it’s important to remember that what seems routine to the layman is an exceedingly difficult task, especially during the early years of the space shuttle program.

“You’re talking about a controlled explosion that we’re taking advantage of to boost a rocket into space,” said Shelton.

“There are series of miracles that have to occur in the right order and in precision to get things to orbit. So, you know that every space launch can’t be taken for granted.”

That difficulty and dangers of space travel became clear to the American public during the 1986 Challenger and 2003 Columbia shuttle tragedies. Shelton said those accidents highlight the truth that there will always be a danger associated with NOVEMBER 2018 | MOORE MONTHLY | 9

“It’s a utility everybody takes for granted now,” said Shelton.

“In those days we had no idea how fast this was going to take off and the implications and impact it would have on life around the world. It’s just embedded in daily life for everybody these days.”

His next memorable stop was at Vandenberg Air Force Base from 2005 to 2008, where he was in charge of all Department of Defense space operations. Shelton said even though he was an Air Force officer, he wore what’s called a “joint hat” and was in command of Army, Navy, and Air Force space operations.

It was during the stretch between running the GPS squadron and Vandenberg that Shelton attained his first general’s star as a Brigadier General. The 2001 ceremony awarding him his first star was a bittersweet moment.

space travel, but NASA and the Air Force are rising to the challenge of making each mission as safe as possible.

“We have a great understanding of failure mechanisms and how to control those,” said Shelton, “And there’s a lot of redundancy built in, and there’s a lot of checking that goes on ahead of time. We build those craft and those boosters we take great care to make sure that we’re getting the best parts that we can possibly get and taking all of the precautions. But still, on the day of launch when those engines light you know that rocket’s going somewhere, and you just hope it goes to the place where it’s supposed to go.”

Following his assignment with NASA at the Johnson Space Center Shelton served at a series of Air Force posts that were each rewarding in their own unique way. One of his favorite assignments during this period was running the Global Positioning System (GPS) squadron in Colorado from 1990 to 1992. Shelton and his team had a hand in building the system that has become an everyday part of life.

“My dad passed away in 2000,” said Shelton. “He lived long enough to know that I was selected for brigadier general but he passed a month before I pinned on my first star, so that was a bittersweet ceremony, to say the least.”

After serving at the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. from 2008 to 2011, Shelton moved to his final Air Force assignment as Commander of the Air Force Space Command at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) supports U.S. military operations around the world through the use of many different types of satellite, launch, and cyber operations. Shelton said it is a complex and critical part of the modern military.

“On the space side you’re talking about missile warning radar around the world,” said Shelton. “You’re talking about space tracking radar around the world, satellite operations and controlling DoD satellites in space, and launching satellites into space from Vandenberg Air Force Base on the west coast and Cape Canaveral on the east coast.”

On the cyber side of the command, it involves organized training and providing equipment for cyber forces for defending AF networks and also providing offensive capability that is under the auspices of the US Cyber Command. Shelton said the advances the United States has made in space capability over the last 30 years have led to a fundamental shift in thinking about space for the Air Force as well as the entire U.S. military.

“Potential adversaries have been watching what we’ve been doing,” said Shelton. “We’re to the point now where we’re highly dependent on space capabilities to do almost any military operation you can think of. But now you’ve got Russia and China watching what we’ve been doing in the Middle East over the past

Cover Story Sponsored by

20 years of our operations there, and they’ve started to develop counter-space capabilities to take out our space advantage. So, we’ve gone from a peaceful, laissez-faire environment where everybody did their own thing in space without challenge to a time today where space is becoming increasingly contested.”

In the end, it seems that reaching the rank of four-star general is a lot like launching a rocket into space, a series of perfectlytimed events have to happen in sequence for it to happen.

“A position that you’re qualified for has to come open,” said Shelton. “The leadership of the Air Force has to agree that you’re the right person for that position. Then the Senate has to confirm you for every job at the three and four-star level. So, a lot of it is about timing and being the right person for the job that comes open.”

Shelton retired from the Air Force in 2014. He and his wife Linda, who was his high school sweetheart in Moore, moved to a home near Colorado Springs. He understands the accolades that come with his military career and postings, but he wants everyone to know that his wife is the real hero of the family.

“She has been the glue that holds our family together,” said Shelton. “She’s a devoted and kind

“You get promoted by a promotion board up through the rank of a two-star general (major general),” said Shelton. “When it comes to the three-star (Lieutenant General), and four-star (General) ranks you are Senate-confirmed for each of those positions individually.”

It was during that three-year period between his Pentagon assignment and the move to Air Force Space Command when Shelton was awarded his next three stars as he rose in rank to Major General (two stars) to Lieutenant General (three stars) to General (four stars). Shelton, who is a genuinely humble and down-to-earth guy, acknowledges that it takes a personal willingness to work hard and take advantage of every opportunity to achieve a four-star ranking in the Air Force. But he says timing and good fortune also play a significant role.

Christian woman who was an outstanding mother and is now an outstanding Nana to our two grandsons.”

Shelton said he was hanging out with a group of his friends when spotted Linda coming home from band practice in her 1965 GTO. “I motioned for her to pull over and the rest is history,” said Shelton. “She stayed with me through 4 years away at the Air Force Academy, and we got married a little over two weeks after I graduated in '76.”

In addition to being the strong core of the Shelton family, Linda is also a two-time survivor of ovarian cancer, overcoming surgery and chemo in 2011 and another round of chemotherapy in 2014. She has been cancer-free since October 14th.

“I don't think military spouses get the credit they deserve,” said Shelton, “For putting their careers second, for packing up and moving every couple of years, and for enduring long work days, deployments and other related absences by their spouse.”

These days his time is spent running a consulting business, serving on four boards, two of which are nonprofits, and visiting his family. Shelton and Linda have a daughter who is a family practice doctor, living in New Jersey with her husband and two children, and a son who works for the federal government and lives with his wife in

Washington, D.C. Shelton’s mother, brother, and sister all still live in South Oklahoma City. He’s planning on being back in Oklahoma in November for his mother’s 90th birthday celebration. During that trip, he will also be honored at the Moore Veteran’s Day ceremony at Veteran’s Memorial Park. General Shelton said he’s grateful for the opportunity to grow up in Moore and still has great memories of his time there. He also admits to feeling great pride about his hometown as he has watched the people of Moore grow stronger in the face of repeated tragedies and challenges.

“It’s really stunning, the destruction that happened after those storms in Moore,” said Shelton, “But the resilience of the people has been equally stunning because they just keep rebuilding and coming back for more. It’s been pretty inspirational to me to see how people have responded and have been willing to help each other out. The stories that I’ve heard, not only on the news but also through personal stories that I’ve heard. When you talk about the best of the human spirit, we know this is true about Oklahomans.

They’re just good, high-quality, down-to-earth people.”

Shelton said he couldn’t be prouder of his Oklahoma heritage and hopes people understand that while being a fourstar general is something he’s also very proud of, he’s still just a regular guy. In fact, you could group him with your typical classic rock fan who laughed when the title “Rocket Man” was suggested for this story. He said he loved the early Elton John period when John worked with Bernie Taupin on the “Madman Across the Water” album. He’s also a fan of Blood, Sweat & Tears, Fleetwood Mac, Three Dog Night, and the Eagles. But if you really want to stop him in his tracks, play some Karen Carpenter.

“I have a rule that if we’re driving along and a Karen Carpenter song comes on, I tell my wife, ‘You have to be quiet.

We have to listen to Karen.’” said Shelton. “She’s just got a set of pipes that are unbelievable. You can’t train that. It’s a God-given thing.”

Moore update by: Jacinda Hemeon

Moore High School Update: FUSE has the Heart of A Lion The time spent in high school is often regarded as “the best years of your life.” Football games, dances, butterfly-inducing crushes, and the rush that comes with being young and carefree.

High school movie stereotypes aside, it can be a confusing and stressful time, especially for incoming freshmen. Luckily, leaders at Moore High School have devised a plan of action to help students make the transition from junior high to high school. In 2008, MHS launched the FUSE program: Freshmen Utilizing Senior Experience.

“Last night, I got to help a freshman with math homework and then we went to Wingstop,” said senior Cody King, "so it was really cool to hang out and get to know him.”

“FUSE mentors can make a difference for people. I wanted to do that because no one did for mem” expressed junior Jessica Heard.

Freshman counselor Katherine Papera stressed the importance of the program. She points out that the impact of FUSE has grown to a profound level over the years, providing support for first-year high school students in nearly every area of their lives.

FUSE, now in its eleventh year, has grown monumentally.

With the largest Freshman class to date, they are ready to take on whatever comes their way.

“The definition of FUSE is to help with the transition of eighth graders into the community of Moore High School so that they feel that they are automatically included and not excluded by giving them mentors," FUSE coordinator Sally Lawrence explained.

“Socially, emotionally, and academically, FUSE is amazing for our freshmen,” said Papera.

The freshmen seem to enjoy it as much as the FUSE mentors and faculty do, too.

She continued, "Freshmen have an upperclassman who is on their side, getting to know them, helping them transition and finding their own place at Moore High School."

FUSE mentors at MHS are juniors and seniors who have proven themselves to be leaders within the community. The mentors all have different backgrounds, grades, and life experiences. Many factors play a role in being selected to be a mentor, and Lawrence was adamant that one quality stood out above all others.

Lawrence said the program has evolved from an orientation day event to a year-long program, something MHS principal Mike Coyle embraced.

“As it evolved, the school started having something called ‘TAA teachers’ as advisors which allowed students to have a teacher mentor that would work with them on a special lesson schoolwide once a week,” said Lawrence. “At about that time, we asked the principal if we could let the FUSE mentors help the teachers of the freshmen teach that lesson, and Mr. Coyle thought that was a great idea.”

Fuse mentors get to spend time each week with their group of freshmen to deliver valuable lessons about high school. Outside of the TAA class, mentors also keep a line of communication with freshmen through texting and social media.

Apart from Moore High School, FUSE also engages in various community service efforts like Moore For Christmas, OKC’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s, and last year, raising money for the victims of Hurricane Harvey. However, by far the most important of their initiatives is The Heart of the Lion. Efforts within the school throughout the Heart of the Lion focus primarily on kindness and inclusion, FUSE’s overall mission. The month-long event seeks to spread the message of FUSE beyond the freshman class, and encourage a school-wide sense of family.

“What I would like the community to know the most is about our Heart of the Lion in February and what we’re trying to do,” said Lawrence. “I’d like to see them take part in our campaign to help and show the kind heart of our community.”

“Kindness,” said Lawrence. “The desire to be a helper. The desire to really care for freshmen.”

Fuse mentors are typically put into teams of three and then assigned a group of around twenty-five freshmen. At the start of every school year, FUSE organizes a huge freshman orientation with different activities and games aimed to coax freshmen out of their shells. After the initial group orientation, the freshmen split into their small groups with the FUSE mentors who are by their sides for the rest of the year.

“We’ve grown enough from having just a few mentors for a whole class to every freshman having three mentors,” said Lawrence, “Which changed the face of everything. It allows us to do so much more.”

Moore High School is filled with wonderful leaders from many different organizations; so what exactly makes FUSE so special?

“FUSE is kind of like my weekly getaway from the stress of school, where you get to be yourself,” said freshman Tamar Gibson. “One of the highlights of my week.”

One thing all FUSE mentors have in common is their love for Moore High School. FUSE is actively involved in planning events for other students, like the Freshman Dance, and known for its members’ positivity and helpful nature.

“Fuse means everything to me. I do it because it brings a lot of joy to me and to the freshmen,” said senior FUSE Commissioner John Varela III. “I wanted to make a difference with the school and create bonds with people I’d never met before,” said junior Alyssa Stockton, when asked why she applied to be a FUSE mentor.

“We’re actually putting feet to action, rather than just reading it in books,” said Lawrence. “We are putting to practice and we’re learning as we go and sometimes we don’t do perfect, but we are actually leading and mentoring as we go.”

Lawrence said that students can learn about leadership by participating in volunteer efforts. But real knowledge about leadership comes over the course of time, something that is essential to FUSE’s success.

“Leading people is seeing in how they become an integral part of Moore High School,” said Lawrence. “I think that’s why everyone wants to be in FUSE. The real leaders in this school are sick and tired of learning about it. They want to do it. And they get to do it every day and they get a face behind it.”

While some mentors joined to have a positive impact on the school, others decided to join because they remember how hard it was to be a freshman.

“I wanted to teach freshmen. I didn’t want them to have the same struggles I had,” said senior Zach Jenkins.

Westmoore update by: Jenna noel

Westmoore High School Update: Safe Trick or Treat is One of School’s Most Popular Events

One of Westmoore’s most popular and long-lived traditions is “Safe Trick or Treat.” The event offers an opportunity for thousands of neighborhood children from feeder schools to visit Westmoore High School for the trick or treat event.

Obviously, it takes a lot of candy to make this event possible. The entire student body gets involved in the popular “Penny Wars,” a week-long battle where each class competes against the other by raising pennies to support Safe Trick or Treat. Students donate pennies—which counts as positive points—while silver coins or dollars are negative points. Whichever class earns the most points or donates the most money is rewarded with three one-hour lunches. After just one week of Penny Wars, students raised $7,733.69!

Student Council (STUCO) is the school group in charge of the event, but every other school club participates by having their own booths as well.

Sophomore Shea Worthman is the student council Secretary and a passionate STUCO member. She joined STUCO because of her older sister and recent graduate, Sophie.

Worthman said she loves being able to see the happy faces of all the children that walk down the halls of the school during the event. She believes her love for giving back came from her love for people.

“Sophie is the main reason I’m in STUCO,” said Worthman. “I would never have even thought about running because I was a shy sixth grader. But after I watched Sophie be in it and with her encouraging me to do it, I totally came out of my comfort zone, and that’s where it all began!”

“I really love to help people, especially kids! It just makes me so happy knowing we put on such a big event for all those kids,” Worthman said.

Safe Trick-Or-Treat is October 30th from 6-8 p.m.

The student council will purchase more than 200 bags in order to be able to give candy to all the children that come to the event.

“It’s definitely stressful knowing how much candy we have to have and all the money that goes into it, but this is such a great cause for all the kids, so none of that stress really matters in the end,” Worthman said.

Southmoore update by: Makayla Ford

Southmoore High School Update: Senior Circle Tradition Marks Pivotal Point for Sabercats In keeping with the theme of “spoiling the senior class,” all seniors get free hot chocolate throughout the game.

Seniors involved in football, cheer, pom, athletic training and band are recognized before the game and walk the field with their parents. Sponsors from each sport usually present their seniors with a gift and flowers.

“It’s fun to pick out the right gift for my girls and make them feel loved a little more than normal that night,” Southmoore Cheer head coach Tosha Powell said. “We love them on a daily basis, but I sure love to hear all of their accomplishments in their sport and their future goals over the speakers. Nothing makes a coach feel better than hearing their kids’ hopes and dreams.”

Every year the Southmoore senior class shares a special moment that happens after the last minute is played of the final home football game.

When Moore Public Schools opened its third high school in 2008, the founding senior sponsors decided to borrow a Moore High School tradition called “Senior Circle."

“This is the beginning of the end,” Southmoore Senior Class Sponsor David Hanneman explained.

As the night comes to an end, all seniors in attendance make their way onto the field. A song chosen by the senior class officers plays over the speakers.

“The song we picked out is called ‘Ready, Set, Don’t Go’

by Billy Ray Cyrus,” senior class officer Bri Buck said. “We picked this song because it’s about a father and daughter.

The daughter is pursuing her dreams and plans, but her dad can’t tag along and has to let her go.”

This song represents the goal for all seniors at Southmoore.

“As seniors, we have to start planning and pursuing our dreams,” Buck said, “so this song goes perfectly.”

18 | MOORE MONTHLY | NOVEMBER 2018

While the song blasts over the sound system, seniors hold hands and walk in a circle singing along to the song.

By the end, everyone realizes their high school years are coming to an end. It is a very emotional and exuberant night.

“It is a fun, but sad night,” senior football player Donovan Gains said. “I’m not ready for everyone to be crying.”

The circle truly marks the first event of the school year to kick off senior festivities. It’s also a pivotal point in the school year where seniors recognize it’s time to buckle down and figure out what life is like beyond the navy and gold.

Even juniors, sophomores and freshmen anticipate this event.

“It’s such a special time for our senior friends,” junior Branden Childress said. “We watch on, sad because our friends are leaving us, but excited because our time is coming.”

The student section dresses in a unique theme to represent the senior class. In years past, they have chosen a blackout night, a Hawaiian night, and a gold night. The student body president is usually the one tasked with this hard decision.

sketches of moore by l.t. hadley

The Town Blacksmith's Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote the description of a profession that for literally thousands of years was critically important to the production of food, clothing and shelter, man’s primary needs. He said, “Under the spreading chestnut tree, the village smithy stands; the smith a mighty man is he with strong and sinewy hands; and the muscles of his mighty arms are strong as iron bands.”

Within days of the April 22, 1889 run, Moore began to attract the blacksmiths.

It was not an easy profession, nor one to lightly enter into. It required experience and knowledge of the qualities of various metals and their interaction with one another. It required precision and attention to details, patience, physical strength and endurance.

Another necessity was to envision a tool or other product described by word of mouth, without plans or dimensions or specific measurements. “It needs to go right on the end of this and kind of bow out, but not too much, and be pretty big, but not too big.”

In the days before specialized equipment that came from factories stocked with spare parts and replacement kits that took the place of repairing parts or actually making them, the blacksmith’s jobs ranged from the delicate repairs to wrought-iron lattices to shoeing horses to pounding out bent or broken plow shares. He made iron wheels for wagons and plows, wagon frames, hoes and shovels. His main tools were tongs, hammers, anvils, forge, coal and bellows.

No one remembers the names and times of most of these blacksmiths, but two of them who served Moore a good part of their lifetimes were Dave Jantz and Joe Chwalinski. Joe was always referred to as “Joe the Blacksmith,” and Dave was simply called, “Dave-Jantz,” as if it were one word.

Joe lived with his parents in a house next to his concrete-block blacksmith shop, east of the Era Drug Store on Main Street. He was a quiet, unassuming man, steady and strong as his anvil.

For nearly 30 years, Dave’s shop was across the street and half a block west, right next to the Fire Station/City Hall.

He semi-retired in 1962 and moved his shop to N.E. 3rd Street and continued to do mower repairs and light welding and repairs.

Dave’s family moved to Moore when he was 14. He and his brother, Carl, herded the family cattle from the Enid area, fording the Cimarron River. When the father died from contaminated well water, the boys hired out to do farm work. Dave apprenticed himself to K. Neiman’s Blacksmith Shop and worked there for nine years to become a proficient smithy. Then he set up his own shop.

Dave was interested and involved in the progress of Moore. He served as chairman of the Town Board from 1947 to 1955. For 20 years, he was a town volunteer fireman.

His blacksmithing abilities were a definite

asset to the town, and he did many of the repair jobs for the city at no cost.

Both Dave-Jantz and Joe the Blacksmith began to see the diminishing need for blacksmiths long before it happened. They had faithfully served the people of the town and surrounding areas during a formative era. None of the technological advances that have occurred since could have been developed without the groundwork laid by their profession and other hands-on craftsmen. In “Death to King Arthur,” Tennyson wrote, “The old order changeth, yielding place to the new.” And so it is with life.

The Power of a Recurring Revenue Business Model You can always Recurring revenue definition: • Is predictable revenue that can be expected to continue in the future.

• How a business makes money by trading access to products or services for regular, scheduled payments • One that encourages a customer to pay a certain amount over a specific period of time. Depending on the offering, this can range from six months to a year – or, more frequently, until customer cancellation occurs.

Payments are almost always collected on a month-by-month basis.

• Is sometimes known as a subscription-based model and the main elements that businesses focus on are customer acquisition, customer retention, and the monetization of current customers.

• Is usually best suited to a business that has a product or service that is needed on a regular basis.

Benefits of a Recurring revenue model: • Predictable and measurable revenue streams – Because subscribers will be paying a fee for using the product or service each month and this allows a business to predict its revenue on a monthly basis.

• Predictable Costs – The beauty of recurring revenue is that you can predict what you are going to earn, you can also predict your cost better which results in less risk – something that investors love. In fact, the more recurring revenue a company has, the higher the valuation it will receive from prospective investors and buyers.

• Faster Growth – Once you make a sale, all you have to do is not screw up to keep the customer for the long term. As a result, you can grow faster as opposed to other business who have to start from scratch every month and throw money on ads to get the same numbers in.

Let us say you run a business with $10 million in sales, 90 percent of which is recurring. Since you can already bank on receiving $9 million as you kick off your next fiscal year, all you need to find is an additional $1 million to grow. Compare this to a business built with no recurring revenue. You might earn $10 million in a single year. However, every subsequent year you begin again at $0--something that makes it difficult to sustain growth.

Growth when using a recurring revenue model happens because the model is scalable. Once a customer is locked into a subscription or monthly payments, a business can grow and expand faster – mainly because a business need not spend time on retaining customers.

and engaged with the product or service being offered.

• Recurring revenues smooth the effects of seasonality – seasonality is the periodic, repetitive, and generally regular and predictable pattern in the levels of business activity in a particular season, quarter, or month. I.e. swimming pool sales and service, lawn care services, weed control services. The issue with seasonality is that periods of high sales activity followed by slower periods make cash flow management a struggle. These brands oscillate between “feast” and “famine” in a way that makes a continuous investment in their products and processes hard to commit to.

Examples of recurring revenue business models:

with custom t-shirts from

• Service contract model – preventative maintenance contracts such as HVAC, copiers, building maintenance, marketing services, SEO, reputation management services, Website maintenance, cyber security, home security systems, cloud backups • Auto-renewal subscriptions – Mobil apps.

Subscription models that go on forever or at least until a customer tells it to stop. Examples include Spotify, Netflix, Amazon prime, cable TV. • The Constant Supply Model – some businesses are tailor-made for recurring revenue because they feature products that are consumed and need to be replaced at regular interval. This model appeals to customers because it is convenient. By participating in a subscription for a consumable product, the customer saves time and eliminates the risk of running out of a product that is important to them.

When you are considering a new or existing business model, be aware that you cannot just build a project like a website or have a onetime purchase like a new pool installation.

Instead, think about how you can add a subscription element to that model to keep your customers engaged, smooth out seasonality and have a much more scalable model, with a lot less stress!

• Better Customer Retention – Businesses that use the recurring revenue method generally have a higher retention rate than those that do not. This is because the hardest part of running a business is making a sale. With subscriptions, the sale has already been made on a regular, monthly basis. All a business has to do to retain customers is keep them happy 24 | MOORE MONTHLY | NOVEMBER 2018

Flu Season is Here.

Are You Ready?

2. WHO SHOULD GET THE FLU VACCINE? Everyone over the age of 6 months should get the flu vaccine. Senior citizens are among those most at risk of severe illness. Along with the flu vaccine, seniors are advised to get the pneumococcal vaccine, which protects against pneumonia, meningitis, and bloodstream infections. Pneumococcal pneumonia is a serious flu related complication that can cause death.

3. DOES THE FLU VACCINE WORK, AND IS IT SAFE? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration monitor the flu vaccine. It is made from a dead virus and cannot give a person the flu.

4. WHEN SHOULD YOU GET THE SHOT? Doctors recommend getting the flu shot in early fall. A senior’s immunity to disease weakens over time, and this increases the risk of contracting flu and pneumonia. For seniors, this can be life-threatening. That is why it is important for people age 65 and older to get a flu vaccine.

5. WHAT IF I GET SICK? It is possible to get the flu even with vaccination, though the risk of severe infection is lower. Treatment for the flu is most effective if given within the first two days of illness.

Influenza season is here! A little bit of prevention can go a long way. Along with preventative hygiene measures like hand-washing, and a flu vaccine is the best protection against the virus.

Moore's Assisted Living Community

1. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS? If you feel like you’ve been hit by a truck, you might have the flu. Influenza is a respiratory virus spread mainly through coughing and sneezing and causes a fever, cough and sore throat. It can also cause severe tiredness and headaches and a general achy feeling.

Several viruses cause the flu, and the vaccine cannot always keep up with the flu that is circulating in a particular year.

Studies show the vaccine reduces the risk of flu illness by 40 to 60 percent when the vaccine is matched well with the viruses circulating that year.

301 N Eastern Ave. Moore, OK 73160 • 405-799-9919

When flu season strikes, it often hits hard and fast. The symptoms can knock a person down, forcing them to spend a week in bed or take a trip to the hospital. Seniors ages 65 and older have a higher risk of severe flu complications.

Here are 5 things you should know about the flu and the flu vaccine this fall.

calendar of events & performances - october 2018

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Ticket to Ride Artists, Designers, and Western Railways Through December 30 Nancy Johnston Records Gallery Prior to the widespread availability of the automobile, artists experienced and explored the American West by train. By 1930, hundreds of artists and illustrators had enjoyed the patronage of the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe; Northern Pacific; Southern Pacific, Great Northern; Canadian Pacific; Mexican Central; and other Western lines. Celebrated image makers of the American West, including Thomas Moran and Maynard Dixon, and less well-known designers and painters alike, courted Western railways for transportation, for sales, and for the international promotion of their work and interests. At the same time, rail companies sought naturalistic images of Western subjects that could be displayed in ticket offices and hotels, in traveling exhibitions, and reproduced on advertising materials to promote Western travel on their lines. This exhibition features paintings, studies, posters, and graphics that emerged from the parallel relationships between artists and commercial designers with Western rail companies between the late 1880s and early 1930s, which were key decades in passenger travel.

The Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art, 555 Elm Avenue, Norman, OK. Daren Kendall: Threshold With Me Through December 30 Ellen and Richard L. Sandor Gallery The “Man with the Golden Flute,” with his inimitable Irish charm and brilliant musicianship, enthralls audiences with a colorful array of musical morsels ranging from serious works to lighthearted fare.

Seeds of Being: A Project of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Native American Art & Museum Histories Seminar Through December 30, 2018 Mary LeFlore and Richard H. Clements Family Gallery Molly and Jim Crawley Gallery James T. Bialac Gallery of Native American Art From inside a cage or the confines of space. You have the ability to imagine yourself free. While crossing the threshold can be exciting, it’s an overwhelming experience aligning two truths. Long ago, I began constructing the space in-between as a place I could work, play, and inhabit in my mind. In this site, images are purged, memories reconstructed, in time the sound of language rustled from within. The human soul writhes to communicate as conscious structures are eviscerated. Threshold with Me envisions a space for the soul to work. The site is prepared for passage with tools and scripts – a fox sparrow, a dancer, and an everyman possessed by visions of love. Together they move through a network of concrete and steel, a system directs behavior and disciplines the body. Within this system, seven stations represent moments of reflection and reprieve to remember the past and to think of oneself in the future. The journey of the muse, the mate, and the ineffable soul transforms the everyday into an engagement with the unknown. The Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art, 555 Elm Avenue, Norman, OK. Still Looking: The Photography Collection of Carol Beesley Hennagin Through December 30, 2018 Ellen and Richard L. Sandor Photography Gallery • 1 p.m. Tuesday, September 18 – Carol Beesley Hennagin leads a gallery talk on exhibit.

Still Looking offers a survey of Beesley’s collecting practices and includes photographs by established artists such

as Edward Weston and Frederick Sommer, as well as lesserknown figures. The exhibit also features promised gifts of Myron Wood’s photographs of Georgia O’Keeffe.

Nominations Are Now Open for the Best of Moore & South OKC The community response to the “BOM Awards” has been overwhelming…and so have your suggestions for making the awards even better. That’s why we’ve put our heads together and come up with a few new wrinkles that should simplify the process and give more businesses a chance to take home some coveted “Bommie” hardware.

Here are the rules:

NOMINATIONS The nomination period runs from October 1, 2018 to November 15th, 2018. Anyone can submit a nomination in any category. You can check out the categories here: Businesses must be within the immediate area of Moore and South OKC to be eligible (for the purposes of these awards, South OKC is considered to begin along the I-240 corridor and extend south into Moore).

Nominations can be submitted by email (to rob@mooremonthly.com or donna@mooremonthly.com) or by posting on the Moore Monthly Facebook page.

Any business that is nominated will be eligible for votes. In the past we have had two rounds of voting – one round to determine the finalists and then a final round to choose the winner. We are simplifying the voting this year to just one round.

There will be no limit to the number of nominations in each category. If you’re nominated – you’re in.

VOTING Voting will begin at 12:01 a.m. on December 1, 2018 and end at midnight on January 31, 2019.

That’s right – two whole months to make your votes known.

There will be only one round of voting.

WINNERS The top three finishers in each category will be invited to our festive Best of Moore dinner in February where the winner will be revealed. The runners-up will also be recognized at the “Bommie’s” so that everyone goes home a winner.

taste local by donna walker

Krave Teriyaki 10740 S May Ave, Suite #117 Have a craving for authentic Teriyaki? Until recently, you had one of two options to get your teriyaki fix: mall fast food or hope a local sushi bar offers teriyaki as a secondary menu option.

Krave Teriyaki's menu is a mixture of traditional Korean and Japanese flavors. The menu includes crispy Korean wings, Korean beef short ribs, Mandu (Gyoza or potstickers), and Yakisoba.

But now, Krave Teriyaki has arrived. You can feed your cravings with authentic teriyaki chicken or Korean short ribs (Gal Bi) with a short drive down South May Avenue.

The Koren short ribs are a favorite menu item.

Traditionally served in a cast iron skillet directly to your table, Gal Bi is the pinnacle of fine Korean dining. The thinly sliced, succulent, and lightly-caramelized meat melts in your mouth.

Located at SW 104th and S. May, Krave Teriyaki has attracted a loyal following after just 3-months in the community. The food, the ambiance, the staff—They really are just that good.

Who are the people that have filled our teriyaki void? Jun and Judy Koos moved to Norman from Seattle when Jun accepted an engineering position at Boeing. They quickly noticed that the city was relatively void of the teriyaki shops offering the authentic Korean and Japanese flavors they loved. Seattle is home to hundreds of teriyaki shops. The Koos' not only loved the food but spent years working in the restaurant industry with their families.

Jun was looking for business opportunities and shared his thoughts with his friend David Kim more than a year ago.

David and Jun attend church together and both come from families in the restaurant business. After more discussion and research, they decided to join forces and created the concept for Krave Teriyaki.

They chose to locate in south Oklahoma City because of its close proximity to their homes and the lack of similar restaurants in the area. David is a Westmoore graduate who lives in Moore and Jun resides in Norman. It was a perfect spot for both of them and their families.

"It took a lot of preparation," Jun said. "We spent almost a year prepping. We wanted a clean, modern look that's a little eclectic and inviting."

The duo wanted to provide a warm and welcoming environment for diners, which is evident as soon as you walk through the front door. Warm, wood-toned walls, gorgeous modern farmhouse-style tables handmade by Jun himself and urban chic lighting provide a perfect backdrop to the cuisine offered here. When you enter, not only will you be impressed by the dĂŠcor, but the aromas coming from the kitchen will awaken your senses.

The Krave Teriyaki menu is based on beloved recipes from Judy's family. Judy acts as Head Chef as well as "boss lady", according to the guys. Her first job was in a teriyaki shop, so she knows a little something about the marinades and meats that make the food so good.

buzz among town and attracted many loyal customers in only a few short months, they don't equate success with money.

"It's been amazing! The biggest most important part of business is getting to know the people, seeing them happy and enjoying their food. It's not about money," Jun said.

David agreed, "We love the customers. We've really gotten to know them, and we want to make sure we do the little things that make them happy."

"Korean short ribs are my favorite. They have a sweetness, yet they are savory beef ribs. You can't go wrong with beef!

We serve them in a cast iron skillet with caramelized onions."

"People love the chicken wings, too," David said. "They are a perfect combination of sticky, sweet and spicy. They are marinated in a unique sauce for two days."

Another traditional item on the menu is Yakisoba.

Yakisoba is a popular Japanese noodle stir-fry dish with meat and vegetables. Jun mentioned it so popular in Japan that it has become a "street food" of sorts.

"Yakisoba is an interesting, traditional dish with unique taste profiles," Jun explained. "It's not something all Oklahomans are familiar with. People either love it or they hate it."

The best sellers on the menu so far are the teriyaki chicken, and, more recently, their fried rice. The guys were surprised at the popularity of the fried rice, as they consider it to be a side item. much like kids macaroni-and-cheese at American restaurants.

"We've sold so much fried rice. The rice going like crazy!"

David said. "We serve it in a cast iron skillet to your table.

The rice gets crispy on the bottom and is topped with teriyaki sauce on top. It really works and people just love it together!"

Another menu item is boneless chicken bites. Like the wings, they are available in garlic butter or sweet and spicy varieties. In Korea, they are enjoyed with a nice cold Korean or Japanese beer. Krave Teriyaki will soon offer some traditional beers to accompany their chicken dishes.

Salmon, shrimp, pork loin and six choices of sushi rolls are also available, along with vanilla and tea ice creams, and a kid's menu. With so many options some folks elect to order a bento box so they can try several items.

Krave Teriyaki opened July 18, and already they noted that approximately 40% of their customers are "regulars" with the other 60% new business. According to Jun, that accomplishment is nearly unheard of in the industry.

"I think our passion for the food and for our customers is what has brought us success," Jun said. "The freshness of the food, the fact that we make everything in-house with local ingredients, and keeping our customers satisfied have been key."

He also credits the cleanliness, the warm, easy-going environment, and continual family support as important elements to their business.

Jun and David agree that they have been blessed in their joint venture. They are both surprised and thankful to have found early success. And, they have done so well that they are considering opening a second location.

Until then, they will continue to be motivated and inspired by the customers who tell them as they leave, "I'll be back."

Prices range from $6.50 for a 6-piece order of wings to $24.99 for a family-sized 24-piece wing plate.

"I'll be back is the best compliment we could get," David quipped.

Jun, Judy, and David put great care in the food they offer and take great pride in the welcoming atmosphere they have created at Krave Teriyaki. Although they have created quite a

You can satisfy your teriyaki cravings at Krave Teriyaki Monday through Thursday from 11 am until 9 pm and Friday and Saturdays from 11 am through 10 pm.

Sports by rob morris

Lady Jaguars Master Come-From-Behind Role to Claim a Championship The Lady Jaguars run to the school’s first 6A fastpitch softball title at The Ball Fields at Firelake didn’t come easy. Westmoore had to come from behind to win each game at the state tournament. Head coach Jenny Rollins said that despite their tendency to fall behind early, she had a lot of confidence in the team’s resiliency.

“We had this tendency to struggle some offensively this year,” said Rollins, “In the state tournament we got behind in every game and made it interesting, but this team has found a way to make the clutch plays when they were really needed.”

Rollins said that she never really got nervous when the Jaguars fell behind in the tournament. She noted the girls were willing to work hard on some of the hitting weaknesses throughout the year, something that made them dangerously explosive on offense.

“Instead of just trying to feed to their strength this year these kids have worked hard on their weaknesses,” said Rollins. “It’s paid off for them because when other teams have heard, you can’t hit off-speed or outside pitches, they’ll keep feeding those to you. Our kids have been able to make adjustments to those kinds of things.”

Kailey Gamble was the sparkplug that got the Jag’s motor purring in the state title game against Edmond North. Gamble ripped two critical doubles in the 8-4 comeback win over the Huskies, propelling Westmoore to a Class 6A fastpitch title for the first time in school history. Gamble downplayed her heroics at the plate.

“It was pretty intense out there,” said Gamble. “But we’ve been committed to just playing hard and having fun. I just try to do whatever I need to do for my team to help us win.”

Westmoore’s fastpitch title is the school’s second softball state championship this calendar year. The Jags slow pitch team won the 6A championship in the spring, giving the school the hard-to-achieve “calendar year back-to-back” championship trophies.

One of the big reasons the Jags broke through in this year’s tournament to claim their first fastpitch title was the pitching performance of Hannah Harrison. The Westmoore junior limited the high-scoring Edmond North team to nine hits and just four runs. Harrison said she had confidence in her teammates because of how hard they’ve worked this year, but added that they were feeling lose and confident coming into the tournament.

“So many girls don’t ever get the chance to come out here and play in this tournament,” said Harrison. “We just came out with the mindset that we were going to have fun and play our best. I knew my teammates had my back on defense, so it was pretty easy to just out there and relax and have fun.”

36 | MOORE MONTHLY | NOVEMBER 2018

Harrison and Gamble both fully understand the magnitude of bringing home Westmoore’s first fastpitch softball trophy and they fully intend to soak up the moment.

“It’s big, really big,” said Harrison. “It makes me so happy to know that we were able to do this for each other and for Westmoore.”

Gamble said, “I love every single girl on this team, and they’re all like sisters to me. I can’t imagine winning this trophy with any other team.”

For Rollins, the emotions were deep as she considered how long and hard the road to a championship has been.

“I really wanted this for these kids,” said Rollins. “They’ve worked really hard, and they fell just short last year. I just kept telling them, ‘Keep playing because at some point some Westmoore team is going to break through. Why can’t it be you?’

This group bought into that and did it.”

byte-sized tech by rob morris

Byte Size Tech: The Cell Phone Scam Epidemic (and How to Avoid Getting Taken) DON’T FALL FOR “SPOOFED NUMBERS.” When your phone rings, and it’s a number with a local area code, you need to keep in mind that the call may not be coming from the number you see on your screen. Scammers are using “spoofing” technology that allows them to make calls that appear to come from private numbers. They’ll often use phone numbers from your area code to trick you into thinking it’s a local call. A good rule of thumb is to not answer any call from a number you don’t recognize FOR ANY REASON! If you answer the call, your number goes on record as a live number, and you’ll be potentially targeted for even more calls.

THE IRS IS COMING FOR YOU THE CON: the caller tries to convince you they’re representing the IRS and, “You’re in trouble, Mister!” They sound urgently helpful about wanting you to resolve this problem before someone shows up at your door to arrest you.

THE TRUTH: the IRS doesn’t call people to demand payment. You’ll get a bill from the IRS agency, most likely from the Austin office for Oklahoma residents. They also do not involve the police or sheriff’s deputies on the first call. So whether it’s a live call or a message. Ignore it.

WE’D LIKE TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR STUDENT LOAN

When your cell phone rings these days, there's a growing probability that the person on the other end of the call is not a family member, a friend, a classmate, a business partner, or anyone you have even the most remote of connects to. In fact, the glut of cell phone spam calls is getting so bad that cellular service providers say that by next year nearly half of all cellphone calls will come from scammers.

Let's be honest, many of you are probably not going to fall for the fake IRS agent or the person who offers to trim your college debt by 50% if you'll just go put a few hundred bucks on a Walmart gift card and send them the PIN number. But enough people do fall for these schemes that scammers are growing, not just in numbers but in aggressiveness.

So, let's look at a few ways you can make sure you don't become a victim of some of the most common cellphone scams:

38 | MOORE MONTHLY | NOVEMBER 2018

THE CON: we understand that you’re struggling with your student debt. You’re not alone, and we’re here to help. We’ve helped thousands of people just like you. Just give us your federal student loan ID, a small fee, and some other sensitive information, and we’ll get you taken care of.

THE TRUTH: what the scammers do is take that small fee and then change your billing address so that you stop receiving any bills or correspondence about your student loans. Months go by before you finally discover that your loans have gone unpaid and have fallen into default. This scam is ridiculously easy to spot if you’re in your 50’s or 60’s.

YOUR DISTANT RELATIVE IS IN JAIL THE CON: somehow the scammer has the name of a grandchild, cousin, niece, or nephew who has managed to end up under arrest, often in a foreign country. On the phone will be either a police officer or someone posing as the distant relative begging and pleading with you to not let their parents find out about this, just wire me some cash so they’ll let me out of jail.

THE TRUTH: scammers have access to a surprising amount of information, including your relatives. What grandparent is going to remain aloof and unhelpful when little Timmy calls from a Bolivian jail asking Nana or Papa to send a few hundred bucks so they can get back home? Be smart. If you do anything at all, take a callback number and call the kid’s parents to see what’s going on. Chances are the kid is up in his or her room playing video games.

WE JUST NEED TO VERIFY YOUR INFORMATION THE CON: the caller claims to be from some business or organization that’s reputable you’re your bank, insurance agency, or credit card company. They just want to verify your information against the records they have on file. They don’t ask for specific information at first, just general things. But if you engage with them, they’ll eventually ask you to verify things like your Social Security number or your birth date. It’s even possible they already have that info so they can appear to be legit. If you balk, they’ll ramp up the pressure by warning you that you could lose your insurance, incur hefty fines, or damage your credit rating.

THE TRUTH: if you tell them anything at all they will add it to a profile that is attached to your phone number, so the next time a scammer calls they’ll have even more accurate information about you. Never, ever give out any personal information to a caller who you aren’t entirely sure is legit. And by “absolutely certain is legit” we mean that you know beyond the shadow of a doubt that the person you’re talking to is so worthy of trust that you would leave your 1-year-old child with them for a month while you went on vacation.

WE’RE GOING TO SHUT OFF YOUR GAS, ELECTRICITY, AND/OR WATER THE CON: the caller poses as an agent from your utility company and that you’ve missed a payment or two. If you don’t cough up some cash right this minute, they’re going to shut you down.

THE TRUTH: no utility company operates like this. If you have missed a payment, you’re already aware of it because the unpaid balance will show up on your bill. If you haven’t gotten your next bill yet, that’s even more reason to be suspicious of the call.

There are other scams, but they tend to follow the pattern of one of these common scams. There are three critical things you need to keep in mind that apply no matter what scammer calls your cell phone: 1. Don’t answer a call from a number you don’t recognize. If it’s somebody that’s calling for a legitimate reason, they’ll leave a message.

2. Nearly every scam involves asking for sensitive information or for a "small fee." You should suspect every incoming call that requests these things.

3. If the caller starts bullying you or pressuring you to give up sensitive information or to pay money over the phone, hang up.

The Sound of the Season: Cough, Sneeze, Ache Medical Director of Pediatric Hospital Medicine and School Telehealth Norman Regional Health System

Do you hear that sound? It’s the sound of stores stocking their supply of tissues and hand sanitizer. It’s the sound of pediatric clinics bracing for the busy season. It’s the sound of winter approaching, and with that comes the dreaded flu and RSV seasons.

• The year 2017 marked the deadliest flu season on record with 179 pediatric deaths and thousands of hospitalizations.

• Around 80 percent of children who died from the flu last year had not received a flu vaccine, and half of those who died had no underlying health condition.

We know that the flu vaccine doesn’t prevent all cases of the flu, but the vaccine and limiting exposure to the flu are our best lines of defense. No one expects themselves or their child to be the one to develop a severe, life-threatening case of the flu. What would add to that tragedy is the regret of knowing you could have done something that may have prevented it or decreased the severity of it.

What is RSV? RSV, respiratory syncytial virus, is another major player in the winter germs that affect children.

This virus affects the smaller airways in the lungs. For older children and adults, RSV typically feels like a bad cold. For babies and children with other health conditions that affect their lungs, such as prematurity or asthma, RSV can cause wheezing, labored breathing, fever and lots of nasal congestion. There is no medicine to make RSV go away faster. Breathing treatments may temporarily make breathing a little more comfortable in some children, but they don’t shorten the course of illness or decrease the severity. Some children require hospitalization for RSV when they need extra oxygen or assistance in staying hydrated. Children who get RSV may have a cough that lasts for several weeks. Seek medical care if your child is having trouble breathing or difficulty taking in fluids.

Prevention is Key For both RSV and flu, prevention is the key.

• Teach children good hand hygiene with frequent washing and hand sanitizer.

• Minimize contact with other children if your child is showing signs of illness.

• Keep infants under 2 months old out of public as much as possible • And for goodness sake, don’t let that stranger at the grocery store kiss or touch your baby!

May the winter be kind to us all!

There are steps you can take to prepare your family for the seasonal wave of germs. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends vaccination against influenza for all kids age 6 months and older.

Pumpkin Anyone?

The fall season is synonymous with bringing the pumpkin "this" and pumpkin "that" flavor to our diets. But what is a pumpkin and is it a healthy option?

The pumpkin is a type of squash and a fruit, although it is usually considered a vegetable. Pumpkins have been around for thousands of years and used in various ways. Did you know that many of the early settlers would not have survived without the nutrients they received from pumpkins? They also used the pumpkin and its seeds in medication. There are many benefits to pumpkin, and here are a couple favorites.

Natural Antidepressant Pumpkin seeds may be small but they pack a punch of nutrients. Pumpkin seeds contain: protein, magnesium, copper, phytosterols, manganese, zinc, and antioxidants. They are a great source of tryptophan, which converts into serotonin and melatonin which assists in anxiety and regulating sleep. Pumpkin seeds are a natural antidepressant because they are full of zinc and magnesium and found in nature.

Oats & Pumpkin Breakfast Cookies Recipe recipe from www.foodpleasureandhealth.com

Immunity Boost Pumpkin is great for your health and can help with immunity boosting. There are high amounts of Vitamin C, synergistic carotenoids, and beta-carotene in pumpkin flesh and seeds. Beta-carotene is good for your immune system because it converts to Vitamin A and then triggers the making of white cells, which helps with fighting infection. The Beta-carotene and other carotenoids found in pumpkin can assist in detoxifying your liver. Just 1 cup of cooked pumpkin can contain more than 200% of your recommended daily Vitamin A intake. Pumpkins can even assist in weight loss because it is a high fiber food which helps you feel full faster and longer.

Insulin Resistance Pumpkin has many benefits for those with diabetes or high blood sugar. It can slow the rate that sugar is absorbed into your blood. Several studies have shown that pumpkin can help "improve insulin resistance and slow the progression of diabetes," including a study published in Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry.

Blood Pressure Control Pumpkins are great for your heart. They are full of potassium and can have a positive effect on lowering blood pressure. According to the studies, it can be as important to consume enough potassium as it is to lower sodium intake for people with high blood pressure. Pumpkins are packed with soluble fiber, and this fiber aids in lowering cholesterol and triglycerides.

The beta-carotene can help reduce the risk of death from cardiovascular disease.

child book review

She Persisted Around the World: 13 Women Who Changed History Author: Chelsea Clinton Illustrated by: Alexandra Boiger Publisher: Philomel Books, 2018 Book Review by: Becky Feldman, Children’s Library Associate Do you know a little girl or know someone who knows a little girl? If so, tell them about this heartwarming and inspiring book.

Women around the world have long dreamed big, even when they've been told their dreams didn't matter. They've spoken out, risen up, and fought for what's right. Whether in science, the arts, sports or activism, women and girls throughout history have been determined to break barriers and change the status quo. They haven't let anyone get in their way and have helped us better understand our world and what's possible. adult book review

Bearskin Author: James A. McLaughlin Reviewed by: Gina Hobbs, Information Services, Moore Public Library As a reader, I tend to choose books that offer an escape from the mundane aspects of life while still adhering to a realistic vision of our world and the forces at work within it. The works of Dean Koontz and Stephen King are personal favorites, especially those that offer a paranormal yet believable twist on realistic horror.

“Bearskin” by James A. McLaughlin is inarguably well outside this genre, but I felt an almost magnetic pull toward this book regardless. It demanded to be read and I did not come away disappointed. Instead, I am left with the sensation of ephemeral existentialism that often accompanies a book that provides a rare and poignant insight into the inexplicable chaos that permeates everyday life.

“Bearskin” follows the life of Rice, a field biologist turned drug runner for a Mexican cartel who is currently working as a caretaker for an Appalachian forest preserve in Virginia. His plan to lay low and hide from the cartel is shattered when he discovers the locals of the rural town nearby have been poaching bears on the preserve.

The situation is further complicated when Sara, the preserve’s prior caretaker who fled town after a harried run-in with the poachers, turns up and demands to return to the preserve to complete her scientific research. Rice is forced into a precarious situation in which the only way to maintain his cover is to resolve the issue with the poachers while remaining off the radar of local law enforcement and ultimately the cartel.

McLaughlin’s tale of a quietly capable field biologist turned drug runner in hiding is told with an unflinching authenticity that is pulled directly from the author’s own origins in a rural Virginia town. It encompasses everything from the psychological effects of rape and torture to the economic difficulty faced by those living in rural poverty and the social inequality that makes crime the only escape from it.

Criminal activity and its effects are a constant motif throughout the novel, but, unlike the demonization that is often seen in mainstream media, those involved are often portrayed as acting out of necessity, especially when it involves monetary gain. Crime only becomes truly heinous when it is perpetrated by those that have given into their primal nature and break the rules of society with animalistic abandon. Much like the primal ancient forest that surrounds the small patch of cultivated land near Rice’s cabin, the dark compulsion toward entropy within the human soul threatens to blur the line between it and the carefully constructed yet delicate rules of civilization to which we adhere.

McLaughlin manages a nearly impossible feat of captivating readers using characters and settings that are realistic almost to the point of mundanity; I have no doubt that in the hands of a lesser author they would not merit the importance to write about. However, McLaughlin offers a vivid portrayal of the complexities of modern society in subtle yet haunting prose that will be remembered long after the last page has been read.

I would highly recommend this book to readers of the realistic thriller genre, and especially those that are willing to engage in a slow burn mystery that explores the delicate balance between society and the animal instinct that lurks within us, just beneath the veneer of civility.

Clinton does a beautiful job introducing 13 diverse women who stood up to discouragement based on their gender and succeeded in long-lasting ways to shape history across the globe.

The artwork by Alexandra Boiger is lovely and shows these women not only as themselves, but as their younger selves, striving to reach higher goals they were told weren't available to them. While you're reading this, share it also with little boys in your life. The earlier they are introduced to the amazing abilities of women, the earlier equality can be introduced and nurtured.

Chelsea Clinton encourages children who are ready to take on the world by introducing thirteen inspirational women who never took no for an answer, and who always, inevitably and without fail, persisted.

You will also enjoy Clinton’s other books, “She Persisted: 13 American Women Who Changed the World,” and “It’s Your World: Get Informed, Get Inspired & Get Going.” Her two “She Persisted” books are also available in Spanish.

SPORTS BY ROB MORRIS

Dalton Witherspoon: Former Moore Lion Kicking Up a Storm in Houston At NEO, Witherspoon set school records for the longest field goal (58-yards), most field goals in a season (17), and most points by a kicker (92). The Golden Norsemen finished the season with a 9-3 record and a bid to the Midwest Classic Bowl while Witherspoon was named second team allconference. That caught the attention of the University of Houston and led to a move to warmer climes. It also led to a redshirt year that, and even though it was tough to handle for the highly-competitive former soccer star, it gave Witherspoon a chance to adjust to big-time college football.

Moore High School alum Dalton Witherspoon admits one of the things he enjoys most about Houston is not having to endure the dreaded "Blue Norther" fronts that roll through Oklahoma, dropping temperatures by as much as 50 degrees over the course of a few hours.

"It never gets cold here in Houston," said Witherspoon. "It's one of the things I like the most about being in school here."

Paradoxically, it's also one of the things the University of Houston junior likes least about Houston.

"The flip side of that is that the heat and humidity are just brutal," said Witherspoon.

"It also tends to flood pretty quickly if you get any significant rain down here."

Witherspoon got a taste of the bad side of Houston weather last August when Hurricane Harvey roared through the area.

The way the local residents responded to the $125 billion dollars in damage reaffirmed some important life lessons he has been

learning since he graduated from Moore in 2016.

"You never give up," said Witherspoon.

"Keep your head up no matter what life throws at you."

What life threw at Witherspoon was a detour on his road to Division I football.

Witherspoon had a stellar senior year at Moore High School and earned All-State honors. He connected on 13-of-16 field goals during the year, six of those at least 40-yards including a 49-yarder. He also had 27 touchbacks on 36 kickoffs. With a résumé like that, it would seem a DI scholarship was a no-brainer, but Witherspoon ended up having to work his way through the JUCO ranks, attending Northeastern Oklahoma A&M for his freshman year.

"It's tough when people doubt you," said Witherspoon. "But if you just keep working hard and support your teammates, things will eventually fall together they way they're supposed to."

50 | MOORE MONTHLY | NOVEMBER 2018

"The hardest part of the transition from high school to college was just learning to manage my time," said Witherspoon. "You'd be surprised at how tough it is adapting to just getting where you need to be on time, especially with how busy they keep us as student-athletes."

Wondering just how busy life is? Try this schedule on for size: “A typical day goes like this,” said Witherspoon. “We meet at 6:30 a.m. to lift and then after that it’s off to class until noon.

From noon until around two p.m. we have position and team meetings and after that we head out to practice. We don’t usually finish up practice until around 6:30 p.m. So, a typical day of the week begins at 6:30 a.m. and ends at 6:30 p.m.”

The hard work has paid off for Witherspoon and the University of Houston.

The Cougars are lurking just outside the Top 25 rankings, leading the American Athletic Conference with a 2-0 record (5-1 overall) and are pushing hard for a conference championship game showdown with the 10th-ranked University of Central Florida.

Witherspoon has been a perfect 29-for-29 on the year in PAT’s and 3-for-4 in field goals and is third on the team in scoring with 38 points.

“We’re having a great year so far and I’m just thrilled to be able to contribute to the success of the team,” said Witherspoon.

Academically a junior, Witherspoon will still have two years of eligibility left after this season. He plans to finish up his undergraduate studies and then work on a master’s degree during that final season.

While he’s thoroughly enjoying life at the University of Houston, he has fond memories of his time in Moore.

“The thing I treasure most about my time in Moore was just being around my friends and being able to enjoy those relationships,” said Witherspoon. “That was an important time in my life and I’ll always love my high school and my friends. Sometimes I also miss that Moore can be a pretty quiet little town.”

As for a message to those Moore Lions still toiling in the high school ranks, hoping for their shot at college ball, Witherspoon said the message is simple and familiar.

“Be prepared for it to be hard and don’t give up,” said Witherspoon. “Keep in mind that while you might have been one of the top players when you were in high school, there’s a chance you’re not going to be the number one player when you get to a D1 school.”

Voters Will Decide on Half-Cent Sales Tax Renewal

In the minds of most people, a half-penny might even seem to be a ridiculously insignificant amount. But you'd be surprised what a half-penny can accomplish when it comes to annual sales tax collection. On Election Day, November 6, Moore voters will have the option to renew a half-cent sales tax. City Manager Brooks Mitchell hopes local residents will understand how critical that half-penny is to city services as Moore continues to grow at a significant rate.

"It raises about 4.3 million dollars a year," said Mitchell, "And it makes all the difference in the world between us being able to go out and fix street and drainage problems and providing the needed equipment for police and fire versus not having the ability to do that."

If it helps you to visualize the amount, that's one penny for every two dollars spent in Moore.

Mitchell wants to be clear about this half-cent sales tax. It is NOT a new tax. It's a continuation of a tax that was approved by voters back in 2011. The funds generated by the tax go to residential street repairs, drainage projects, and public safety equipment for police and fire.

"We've been able to complete 25 major residential street projects and two major drainage projects over the last 4 years in all parts of the city," said Mitchell. "It has also allowed us to purchase 24 police cars for the police department."

Mitchell said that without this half-cent sales tax the city would be forced to find other ways to fund these residential street projects and provide equipment for fire, police, and emergency management.

"All those repairs and the public safety equipment would have to come out of the general fund," said Mitchell, "And we would have to certainly cut back on many other services in order to be able to continue to provide those other services as far as the repairs and the public safety equipment."

The half-cent sales tax should not be confused with the passage of recent general obligation bonds that are being used to fund major projects like the 4th street railroad underpass, the 34th Street bridge, and projects on major traffic arteries like Eastern Avenue and Broadway Street. Mitchell said city officials deeply appreciate the voters' approval of those projects because they allow funds to be moved to other areas of great need.

"Moore is a growing city and our Public Safety needs have increased," said Mitchell, "This is a way to address that without raising taxes."

Mitchell said that with the renewal of the half-cent sales tax the city will be able to move forward on various residential street projects in every area of Moore.

"We have several projects on the drawing board," said Mitchell, "And if this is passed, I'll be able to take these projects the council for approval. It will allow us to continue our momentum and resolve residential streets & drainage issues."

Polls will be open in Moore from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Election Day, November 6th.

CLASS ACTS: Moore's Luke Peterson Selected as Oklahoma Kid Governor While most 11-year-olds may spend a lot of time focused on playing sports or video games, Moore's Luke Peterson is focusing energy on his new role as Oklahoma's Kid Governor. Peterson, the son of Kari and Shane Peterson, assumed the position in August after being selected by Sunbeam Family Services and the Oklahoma Institute for Child Advocacy (OICA).

The foundation of his approach is that it doesn't matter how small the effort is, change can be made if we all agree to start somewhere.

"I sent in a video talking about why I wanted to be Kid Governor and what my platform was," said Luke. "I was chosen as a finalist, so I went to Sunbeam Family Services and gave a speech."

Luke's mother says she believes her son will make a great Kid Governor.

His speech won over Jim Priest, Sunbeam's CEO, and Joe Dornan, who heads up the OICA, and out of all the finalist Luke was selected as the next Kid Governor. Peterson was thrilled with the news.

"I was beyond excited," said Luke. "I was jumping up and down and started coming up with ideas about my platform and speeches."

Luke is Oklahoma's third Kid Governor's. His platform includes three significant issues facing children in Oklahoma: foster care, childhood hunger, and education.

Luke understands that he can't completely solve these problems, but he believes he can make an impact.

"A lot of people simply don't know about these problems or how bad they are," said Luke. "The statistics about them are mind-blowing, and we really need to get the word out about the issues kids face. It's hard to tackle all of these issues, but I hope I can have a positive impact."

"Anyone can help out in their community just by being kind and making people feel included," said Luke. "Just the smallest act of kindness or the smallest things we do to help out can make the biggest impact."

"Luke has such a great heart for helping others and for speaking," said Kari. "I'm so excited that he has this opportunity."

Luke is homeschooled through Epic Charter Schools and calls math his favorite subject. As Kid Governor he'll participate in speaking and volunteer opportunities until his term ends in May 2019. Luke's mother says her son's excitement about the role gives her hope about the future.

Moore Rotary Community Spotlight by timothy w. eaton

president of randall university, moore

What Does Rotary Do? and men from business, education, community organizations, government, and more. Some are students and some are retired.

The programs inform and connect members to opportunities for service in the community. On some occasions it is a challenge to do more or personal change.

The Moore Rotary Club has a number of recent service projects and community building activities that it has accomplished or are ongoing in our efforts to build a better community, for example: • Student of the Month honors for each High School in the Moore Public Schools: Moore, Southmoore, and Westmoore • Providing 80 Kindle Fire Tables for awards to help improve attendance in selected MPS Elementary Schools • Rotary Pancake Breakfast at the Brand Senior Center • Rotary Youth Exchange: Currently sponsoring an international exchange student at Westmoore High School from France Maybe you have seen the Rotary Wheel Logo in the Flag Plaza in Veterans Memorial Park at 4th and Bryant. You may have eaten at the Taste of Moore just before going into the Moore War on Labor Day Weekend. Before the Red Ribbon Parade, you took your kids or grandchildren to the Rotary Pancake Breakfast, but you still have the question in your mind, “What does Rotary do?”

• Student of the Year Scholarship for each High School in the Moore Public Schools: Moore, Southmoore, and Westmoore

The Rotary mission is to provide service to others, promote integrity, and advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through our fellowship of business, professional, and community leaders. Rotary members believe that we have a shared responsibility to take action on our world’s most persistent issues. The big dream and goal of Rotary since 1988 has been the eradication of polio. When Rotarians joined the polio fight, there were 125 polio-endemic countries, but this year the number is down to three countries: Nigeria, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Our 35,000+ clubs work together to: • Promote peace • Fight disease • Provide clean water, sanitation, and hygiene • Save mothers and children • Support education • Grow local economies

• Hydroponics Laboratory located on the Broadmoore Elementary School campus

Rotary’s 1.2 million neighbors, friends, leaders, and problemsolvers who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change – across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves (https://www.rotary.org/en/about-rotary ).

How Does the Moore Rotary Club Serve?

The Moore Rotary Club meets each Wednesday at the Moore Chamber of Commerce building for lunch, but it is a lot more than lunch. The fellowship meal unites a diverse group of women

• Regional Food Bank and the Back Pack food program in the Moore Public Schools through the Taste of Moore fundraiser in partnership with the Moore Public Schools Foundation Educational Services Committee

• Drilling clean water wells in the Third-world by contributing to joint Rotary Club projects This is not an exhaustive list, but the sample shows that the Moore Rotary Club is serious about being a force for good in the Moore area.

You May be a Rotarian at Heart?

Read the Four-Way Test: Of the things we think, say, or do; 1) Is it the TRUTH? 2) Is it FAIR to all concerned?

3) Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? 4) Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

If you are interested serving the community and making a difference in the world. I invite you to join Rotary for a meal any Wednesday. To paraphrase Martin Luther King, Jr.: Science and technology have made this world a neighborhood, but we must make it a brotherhood. It is one reason each Rotarian must repeat the motto, “Service Above Self.”

shop local by donna walker

Shopping at Enchanted Cottage... a magical experience.

10600 S Pennsylvania, Chatenay Square Shopping Center Even as a young child, Patti Williams was a creative soul. Growing up among a family of like-minded creatives, it seems that her eye for design was genetic.

"I grew up in a family that did a lot of hands-on things: from cooking, painting, sewing and yard work, our family was always creating," Williams said. "My parents did the finishing work on a house they had built, so I learned at an early age to tackle creative things."

For the last 32 years, Patti has shared her talents with Oklahoma City as designer extraordinaire and owner of The Enchanted Cottage. It was her love for crafts and a desire to teach and sell crafts that led Patti to open the store in 1987.

Before opening her shop, Patti sold home décor as a party planning consultant. She found success in those early years from building relationships with clients and from her unique eye for design.

"I think the key to my success has been being able to relate to people and meeting their needs…whether it's in choosing a gift, decorating their home or just being their friend," Williams said.

Patti has evolved with the times through three decades in business and continues to recreate a personal shopping experience one might find in a fancy boutique in New York City...without the huge, east coast prices.

"I love the connections I've made with the people that shop here," Williams said. "This is more than a shop. It's a place to come and receive a warm greeting and relax. People share and do life in this place. I love hearing about peoples' families and adventures, travels and heartaches."

The Enchanted Cottage is a one-stop shopping wonder with everything from gift ideas and nursery items to wall décor and gourmet treats. Patti and her staff will guide you to your home's new look and pick out the perfect gift for any recipient. They pride themselves on being honest and truthful and offer guidance whenever they can.

Shoppers will find a wide variety of items and price ranges to match all budgets. Some available popular brands include Tyler Candles, Aromatique, Sid Dickens Memory Blocks, Jan Barboglio, Capri Blu and Vionic Shoes. You will also find some fantastic fanfavorite OU and OSU items.

One fun, unique gift idea is the zip code pillow. This pillow comes in 35 different colors and can be customized with any zip code. It's a great personalized housewarming gift and one that many homeowners love using in their decor.

Getting ready for the holidays? Visit Patti. She has excellent style ideas and an incredible selection of holiday décor. Get a first look at what is trending this season by attending their annual Christmas Open House, Friday, November 16 from 10 am until 6 pm and Saturday, November 17th from 10 am through 4 p.m.

Patti mentioned that this year's trends for Christmas include a bright and colorful palette with splashes of pastels. Gold and glitter are always a hit during the holidays, as is the traditional red and green.

Stop into The Enchanted Cottage soon for great home décor and more at Chatenay Square at SW 104th & S. Pennsylvania.

Her customers agree and call The Enchanted Cottage their "happy place."

From the craft lessons offered when the store first opened, to home decorating assistance Patti provides, the shop has become an outlet for customers to express their creativity and tastes and to build friendships.
