Relationship “What makes Republic unique is their corporate philosophy of service and generous community support. As a fifth-generation Oklahoman, business professional, and community volunteer, I recognize and appreciate Republic’s culture of caring. The character of the Republic banking relationship is very personal. It’s not institutional. Republic’s culture of service allows their Bankers to spoil their customers. They are here to support us and celebrate our successes. Mary Pointer is my Banker, and she knows my family and our needs. It’s obvious that the Bankers at Republic love what they do. It’s not just a job; it’s their passion.”

sketches of moore by l.t. hadley
Banking on Moore Modern technology has changed the nature of businesses; some have become obsolete and others have streamlined their operations. America has become a nation of enterprise, imagination and technological advances; seeing what is needed and doing something about it. However, some things never change: dependability, service and integrity. One of Moore’s banks has continued operation in Moore for over 100 years, with a record of these traits that never changes. In 1846 a man named Brand left his native Germany for America. He fought in the Civil War, then settled in Missouri to raise his family. His son, Cleo, became interested in banking, organized a bank in Carnegie, Oklahoma, then eventually settled in Moore. In 1904, he interested prospective stockholders in founding the first bank in the Moore area. In addition to Brand, stockholders were Threadgill, Hughes, McCartney, Hall and Dr. Nail. Brand had 23 shares and the 5 others together had 27. A charter was issued and the bank opened April 11, 1904, with a capital of $5000. It operated from the first floor of Payne’s Dry Goods Store, just north of Main and Broadway with McCartney serving as the first president. There have been bank robberies as long as there have been banks. Moore had its share: at least three. The first happened at this first location. An eye-witness account was published that described two enterprising men who first stole a railroad handcar, parked it close to town, then crawled under the bank and cut a hole in the floor, all without being discovered. The robbers burst through the hole and demanded money just as two citizens came into the bank on business. These men attempted to stop the robbery until one of the bandits waved a gun in their faces. The robbers grabbed the sack of cash, backed out the door, ran to their handcar and pumped their way down the tracks, leaving the town and pursuers far behind Much of the money was later found, buried in the sand on a North Canadian river bank. In 1908, the bank moved to a new twostory brick building on the southwest corner
of Main and Broadway. Another robbery occurred during these years. A masked man entered the bank, demanding money. A citizen heard the commotion and rushed in with his gun. He saw the man in a back room and fired; the robber fell. When the mask was removed, it revealed that the robber was little more than a boy. The man who fired the gun always regretted his impetuous act. In 1915, property on the southeast corner of the intersection was purchased and a brick building constructed. This bank continues to operate from this location. Also in 1915, Brand sold his interest in the bank to J. Harrison Smith, forever referred to as “Banker Smith.” In 1922, the bank name changed from Bank of Moore to First National Bank of Moore. A new charter was issued as the bank came under the federal regulations. After 14 years, Smith sold his bank interest to George Eberle, who served as president of the bank for 27 years until his death in 1956. His son-in-law, Robert Holland, was president until 1970. Charles Gossett came to First National in 1961 as vice-president, then was elected president in 1970. The name was changed to First State Bank. As the town grew, the bank grew, along with other organizations. Over the years the configuration of banking and the kinds of services changed drastically. Other banks eventually were founded in Moore to meet the growing population needs. The bank interest was sold to Will Rogers Bank in 1994. The Intrust Bank Group had bought Will Rogers Bank in 1992, but it was not until 2001 that the name of the Moore Will Rogers Bank was changed to Intrust Bank. Bank of Moore, First National, First State, Will Rogers, Intrust—all were names of the bank that began in Moore in 1904 with assets of $5000. Along with other banking institutions, it has continued to serve the financial needs of Moore citizens. Note: This edition of Sketches of Moore was first published in a previous issue of Moore Monthly.

Who Are My Best Customers? In business, it is about the quality of your customers, not just the quantity. Fred Reichheld, in his book “the ultimate question 2.0” states that the best way to gain clarity in regards to best customers is to survey them and ask them one question – “On a scale of one to ten, how likely is it that you would refer our services to your friends and associates”? “Why?” Clients who rate you a 9 or 10 are promoters. These are you’re your raving fans – they will refer four times the amount of new business to you and share their personal interest success stories with many others. These are your most loyal clients. Those who rate you a 7 or 8 are passives – they will stay with you until something better comes along. Those who rate you a 6 or below are detractors – they generally are discontent, are vocal about their displeasure to your employees and others they interact with on the outside. While you want to treat all clients well – it really helps to rate your customers, understand their relative value to you, open up marketing, communication and dialogue options within each group. When you actively market for and seek to find more of your best customers (profile) – this will give you great clarity in terms of who these people are from a demographic, geographic, psychological and purchase behavior standpoint, to target market effectively. Let’s say we analyze our existing client database, develop a living document definition of our A, B and C clients – where “A” is our best; “B” are our passive clients and “C” clients for one reason or another are not our most Steller! I refer to these definitions as “living documents” because as you drill down into your client base analysis, you will add to and refine the definitions. Here is a start: Geography – what is the radius from your office of “A” clients – how far will a client travel to see you? Where do these clients work? What do they do for a living? Demographics – What are these clients gender/nationality? Income range? Age? Life stage? Education level? Purchase Behavior – What are their trigger events? – What made them decide to reach out and contact you? What do they value? – What is their purchase criteria? How price sensitive are they? Psychology – What is their work and lifestyles? Personality traits? Interest? Values? Ask your employees – they will provide excellent feedback in terms of who are A, B or C clients. “A” clients are best – they become your best salespeople. They become advocates and evangelists. They tell their friends and actively help your business grow. They are your most loyal clients – unless something awful happens – they will stick with you. They are generally less price sensitive, do not have or cause problems or issues for your staff, have very high customer lifetime value. They are usually the most profitable; provide genuine personal interest story online reviews. They often follow the Pareto Principle – they are the 20 percent of your clients who drive 80 percent of your revenue. These are your most important clients “B” clients – These are your passive clients – look for commonalities in these clients using the same filter described above – Ask yourself – How can I build more trust, loyalty, engagement with these clients? What are they looking for that I have not satisfied or addressed? How can I earn the right to move these to “A” clients? “C” clients – These are your “not Steller” clients - Without question, all customers should receive great service. Attentive, enthusiastic service should be the baseline for every customer, even the “not Steller” ones. You cannot afford to have brand detractors. Your employees will also be able to identify these clients immediately. I want the world on my terms at the least cost; expectations do not fall in alignment with reason – not happy most of the time – do not really purchase – do not have many good things to say within or without the organization – no loyalty – typically very low customer’s lifetime value. While you will probably keep C-level customers at your baseline of impressive service. The smart strategy here is to identify them as C-level and maintain a positive brand image. At the same time, use this knowledge to turn away future C-level prospects. Often, entrepreneurs feel obligated to chase whatever money comes their way. However, in assigning resources to accounts that will never pay off, you are taking away resources from the accounts that will. The common denominator for customer retention is hyper-value. Look at your A and B clients and figure out what is going to make them view you as the best option in town. How can you differentiate yourself from competitors? What is the precise need you are solving, and how can you make that solution better? Every customer wants to feel like they are your only customer. By scoring your best customers’ traits and developing strategies for each buyer category, you can eliminate those who do not belong while expanding the pool of great customers.
24 | MOORE MONTHLY | MARCH 2019
As your most powerful asset, your best customers can significantly alter the course of your business. You can grow your business by making genuine connections. Working with “problem” customers is tiring. Moreover, less profitable. When you work with your best customers, your business grows, and your life gets easier. Great businesses invariably have a far higher proportion of great customers and a tiny proportion of “not Steller” ones. Because of this, these businesses grow faster, attract better people, do better work and attract even more great clients. It is a virtuous circle, and it leads to more rapid growth, higher revenue, and better profit margins. Many businesses struggle with the concept of focusing on high-profit customers because they worry that they will end up losing money by minimizing reach. The reality is that 10 to 20 percent of your customers eat up your profits in complaints and customer service, which reduces your ability to focus on your top 20 percent: hassle-free big spenders. By investing the majority of time and resources to your newly defined A-list clients and prospects, you are likely to have more success developing valuable, long-term relationships–relationships that should pay off for years to come.

Arranging in-home care services. Family caregivers are not always able to take care of everything themselves. If that’s the case for you, then you may need to arrange professional services like housecleaning and meal deliveries. Ensuring home safety. Loved ones staying at home need to be kept safe. Family caregivers need to assess and address safety risks, make sure that smoke alarms have batteries, install handrails, and take care of any other safety measures that can help reduce the risk of accidents and injuries. Creating emergency plans. Family caregivers cannot usually be present with their loved ones at all times. So it’s essential to develop an emergency plan that your family member can easily follow if an accident happens when he or she is home alone. A caregiver job, especially one that is unpaid, comes with great responsibility. But it can also provide a lot of personal fulfillment. However, it is clear that caring for a loved one comes with its fair share of challenges and rewards. Family caregivers can take steps to help minimize the challenges that come with caring for aging loved ones. I have listed 10 tips below that can help you feel successful in your role as a family caregiver. 1. Take care of your mental and physical health. Make sure that you are taking time for yourself to reduce the chances of burning out. Get exercise, make time to visit with your friends, and take part in other activities that you enjoy. Also, make sure you are getting enough rest and sleep. 2. Develop stress management techniques. Doing simple things like coloring in an adult coloring book, getting fresh air, or meditating for 20 minutes a day may be enough to keep your stress level low. 3. Educate yourself. It is important to become familiar with your loved one’s condition, as well as with basic caregiving principles. After all, the more you understand about caregiving and your loved one’s specific needs, the easier it will be to care for him or her. 4. Create a schedule. Even if you are the only family member who is provid-
ing care, it is important to have a schedule. You should include your scheduled care times, personal time, and loved one’s appointments, along with the schedule details of any other family members who are also helping. 5. Stay organized. Use file folders or binders to hold all of the vital information related to your loved one’s care. Include phone numbers, lists of current and past medications, medical documents, and test results. 6. Make sure all legal documents are in order. While your loved one is in a clear mental state, it is important to update all legal and insurance records. Specifically, you will want to ensure that his or her will is accurate, that he or she has a power of attorney named, and that the beneficiaries on insurance plans and investment accounts reflect your loved one’s current wishes. 7. Don’t let problems pile up. Be sure to deal with any challenges as they come up so that your to-do list remains manageable. 8. Be realistic about your capabilities. Assess your own life situation to determine the level of care that you can offer to your loved one. If you are working a demanding, full-time job and have a young family at home, then assisting your family member 20 or more hours per week may not be realistic. 9. Connect with other caregivers in your community. It can be helpful to make connections with other people who are going through similar experiences. You may be able to find and join caregiver support groups. It’s important to feel connected and supported while caring for your loved one. 10. Seek professional help if it’s needed. If you find that caring for your loved one is too much to manage on your own, then be sure to ask for help. Talk to other family members and close friends to see who may be able to offer a hand. Additionally, look into the support services that are available in your community, such as in-home care, meal delivery, respite programs, and medical assistance services.

When seniors want to keep living at home, unpaid family members are the most common care providers who help them out. Providing care to a loved one can be challenging and demanding at times, but it’s also highly rewarding. Family caregivers are often responsible for many of the same tasks as professional caregivers, but only one or two family members may be taking on those responsibilities for a particular senior. The most common responsibilities of family caregivers include activities like running errands and completing housework and home repairs. However, a growing number of family caregivers are taking on medical and nursing tasks. So the types of care that family caregivers provide are just as diverse as those of professional caregivers. It all depends on a senior’s needs and the capabilities of his or her family members and friends. Here are some caregiver responsibilities that may be relevant to your own situation. Establishing a care plan. Just like professional caregivers, family caregivers need to create care plans. It’s especially important when more than one family member is helping because everybody needs to have access to the same information. As a family caregiver, you may need to meet with your loved one’s doctor and any other medical professionals to ensure that all medical conditions, treatments, and medications are understood and properly administered. Managing finances. The loved one you are caring for may have trouble keeping their financial affairs straight. If bills start going unpaid or checks are bouncing, then you may need to step in and help your family member manage the finances. Providing companionship. Your loved one may become lonely and require emotional support. Giving some level of emotional support to aging family members is essential. So just being there makes your loved one feel connected. Scheduling. Family caregivers often need to help their loved ones make appointments and arrange proper transportation for getting to and from then.

Working in collage, sculptural assemblage, and large-scale installations, Howard assembles a blend of American folk art, family photographs, and antique engravings, among other appropriated objects, to explore both cultural memory and the historical roots of topical issues, such as oppression, sexual harassment, and personal privacy. Her enduring interest in history is derived, in part, from her parents, Rolly and Mable “Mama” Howard, who not only collected and sold antiques but were also actively involved with the Civil Rights movement. Howard’s parents fostered in her a desire to address social ills in her art, and recent series such as Casanova’s Assignations and I’ve Been a Witness to this Game demonstrate her ongoing commitment to her parents’ legacy. Howard serves as the seventh guest artist in the university’s Jerome M. Westheimer, Sr. and Wanda Otey Westheimer Distinguished Visiting Artist Chair program. A native of San Francisco, Howard received her MFA from John F. Kennedy University in Orinda, California in 1985 and has worked in the Bay Area for the majority of her career. During her distinguished career, she has been the recipient of the Adeline Kent Award from San Francisco Art Institute in 1991, the Joan Mitchell Foundation Award in 2004-05, the Lee Krasner Award in 2015, the Nancy Graves Grant for Visual Artists in 2017 and, in 2018, an Honorary Doctorate of Fine Arts and the Douglas G. MacAgy Distinguished Achievement Award from San Francisco Art Institute. Testimony: The Life and Work of David Friedman January 25 – May 26, 2019 Testimony surveys the career of artist David Friedman (1893-1980), from his early days in Berlin to his late career in St. Louis, Missouri. The exhibition includes portraits and landscapes as well as his notable series Because They Were Jews!, a visual diary of his time in the Lodz Ghetto in Poland and his internment at the Nazi concentration camp of
28 | MOORE MONTHLY | MARCH 2019
Auschwitz-Birkenau. Testimony is both an indictment of the horrors of the Holocaust and an affirmation of survival. Friedman was born in Mährisch Ostrau, Austria (now Ostrava, Czech Republic) but moved to Berlin in 1911, where he studied with German impressionist Lovis Corinth. Following Friedman’s service in the Austro-Hungarian army during World War I, he earned a reputation as a portraitist of politicians and celebrities. In 1938, fearing Nazi threats, he and his family escaped to Prague, where he continued his career until 1941 when the family was deported by the Nazis to Lodz Ghetto in Poland. All of his work from the early years of his career was confiscated and much of it was lost or destroyed. When Lodz was evacuated in 1944, Friedman was separated from his wife and daughter, who were later killed during the Holocaust, and was sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau. He survived the concentration camp, married a fellow survivor, Hildegard Taussig, and left for the new country of Israel in 1949. Six years later, Friedman left for the United States, where he ultimately settled in St. Louis and worked as a commercial artist for the General Outdoor Advertising Company.

The Boxcar
Offers Up a Great Cup of Coffee and Community Connection 2100 N. Eastern • 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Chad Hodges is the new face behind the revamping of The Boxcar in the Avondale Shopping Center in Moore. Hodges is a longtime coffee lover who has finally found the perfect business to align with his passion for community involvement. “I spent most of my time working in Oklahoma City after I opened a business seven years ago,” said Hodges. “During that time I fell in love with Oklahoma City’s coffee.” When he discovered that The Boxcar was on the market, Hodges said it was an easy decision to take the plunge and open a local, community-oriented coffee shop. “I was sleeping in Moore, shopping in Moore, but I didn’t spend my time working here,” said Hodges. “This was a chance to invest in the city that I love and live in.” The 1996 Moore High School graduate also had a very clear idea of what kind of coffee shop he wanted to offer the community. “We really wanted to rewrite the script from what The Boxcar used to be,” said Hodges. “We really want people to recognize it as a coffee shop and a community gathering place.” The Boxcar offers locally-roasted coffee from KLLR Coffee in Oklahoma City, a relatively new company on the OKC coffee scene that has quickly developed a reputation for producing fantastic roast-to-order beans. “KLLR has really helped us establish an identity,” said Hodges. “Not only with some great coffee but also with training that helps us brew really great drinks.” Hodges said Boxcar customers will find brewed coffee along with any type of expresso drink you can imagine as 34 | MOORE MONTHLY | MARCH 2019
well as monthly specials. The Boxcar also offers a selection of pastries and light breakfast menu. “We have some really tasty grab-and-go type pastries from LaBaguette,” said Hodges. “We also offer fantastic cinnamon rolls, breakfast burritos, fruit parfaits, and overnight oatmeal.” But the centerpiece of The Boxcar is coffee and community. Hodge keeps circling back to his passion for giving Moore residents a comfortable place to gather. “I never wanted to just own a coffee shop,” said Hodges. “I wanted a place where I could be behind the bar, brew a great cup of coffee or expresso, and the just able to get to know the people who come here and talk about their day.” The Boxcar has already established a presence among various groups in the city. The Moore Public library comes in regularly for story time and a newly-formed high school chess club uses The Boxcar for their gathering place. Hodges also has a deep connection to the local bicycling community as the team director for DNA Racing, an elite cycling and club team based in the OKC area. “We host the Oklahoma City Pro-Am Cycling Classic in June,” said Hodges. “I’m trying to instill a little that cycling mentality here at The Boxcar and hopefully make the community a little more cycling-friendly. We have groups of cyclists that are in here regularly and use the location as a start or finish to some of their rides.” Hodges said that in the 12 weeks since reopening The Boxcar as a coffee shop, he has deeply enjoyed the experience.
“This is my first time behind the bar, so I’ve learned a lot,” said Hodges. “Plus, it’s been really fantastic to try and help make somebody’s day better by offering a great cup of coffee and some conversation. It’s great to be a part of a coffee shop that is becoming a part of the community.”

From Seed to Spoon: Prime Time for Root Crops! Hello Moore! It’s Dale Spoonemore here to talk about what you can do in March to grow your own food! My wife and I converted our lawn into gardens to feed our family of 6 and we built our free app to make it easy for you to grow food too! Our app will give you customized planting dates (with reminders!) based on your location and will guide you through all aspects of growing your own food! March is one of my favorite months of the year. Life is beginning to emerge from the cold of February, and new sprouts are everywhere! In March, we’re starting many things directly from seed outdoors, and continuing to plant new rounds of spring seeds indoors to transplant later. March is prime time for planting root crops like carrots, beets, radish, and others. These foods don’t like to be transplanted and are best planted directly outside from seed. One key to planting these outside is keeping the seeds moist until they sprout. We’ve found it simple to do so with automated irrigation and have guides on YouTube showing how easy it is to build it out of PVC pipe or install drip irrigation system.
38 | MOORE MONTHLY | MARCH 2019
Peas also prefer to be planted from seed and March is a great time to get them started! Peas require something to climb on, and one can easy be made by attaching cattle panels to t-posts. Check out our YouTube channel for full details on how we build trellises on the cheap! We’re also beginning to transplant the broccoli and cabbage we started indoors last month, and will direct seed more throughout our garden. We plant them densely and thin them down as they grow, eating the super-nutritious “microgreens”. Lastly, March is a great time to transplant herbs into your garden! Herbs like rosemary, oregano, thyme, sage, and chives are some of our FAVORITE things to grow and have numerous benefits! Not only are they incredibly nutritious, but they help repel pests from your other plants! You can check out which plants help each other in our free app with the “companion plants” feature! You can also join us at the OKC Home + Garden Show on March 22nd, 23rd, and 24th for our FREE classes! Learn more at seedtospoon.net

Emergency and physical therapy services have been provided by Norman Regional in the Moore community since 2007. That was the year our organization rescued Moore Medical Center and its employees out of bankruptcy by purchasing the former Moore Medical Center. A tornado destroyed Moore Medical Center in May 2013, but our team readily stood in the gap between that hurt and the healing and met the challenge alongside each of you, and was named the best even when we were treating patients in temporary buildings. The new Norman Regional Moore Emergency Department is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. And Norman Regional Moore does a lot more than emergencies and therapies. The facility also offers physician clinics, outpatient senior adult counseling, imaging, mammography, and extensive lab services. Our team of healers is ready to earn your vote for next year! Need a doctor? We’ve Got Moore! Norman Regional recently welcomed a new physician clinic to our team as we grow and expand our services to the Moore and South Oklahoma City community. Norman Regional Health System recently obtained Southmoore Medical Clinic, a family medicine clinic located in south Oklahoma City near Moore that is
home to providers Keith R. Layne, DO, and Mandi Brown, APRN, CNP. The clinic’s new name will be Norman Regional Primary Care—West Moore and is located at 14800 S. Western Avenue in Oklahoma City. Dr. Layne was born in Germany, and he grew up in the Army. He received his Bachelor of Science degree from Defiance College in Defiance, Ohio, and his medical degree from Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine in Athens, Ohio. He completed his residency at Great Plains Family Practice in Oklahoma City. Dr. Layne said he really listens to his patients and tries to apply the totality of who they are to what the medical issue requires. He said he hopes all his patients walk away with a sense that they know what is going on with them and are confident they can manage it effectively. Mandi Brown was born and raised in Oklahoma City. She received both her Bachelor of Science in Nursing to become a registered nurse and her Master of Science in Nursing to become a family nurse practitioner from the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. Brown chose to become a healthcare provider because she wanted to help others. “I was drawn to nursing and wanted to further my career to become a nurse practitioner,” Brown said. “I enjoy meeting new patients and families. It is rewarding to see people improve their health and feel better.” To make an appointment with Dr. Layne or Brown, call 405-912-4900. To learn more about other services we provide in Moore, please follow up on Facebook, Instagram or check us out at NormanRegional.com. Norman Regional knows you have a choice when it comes to your healthcare, we are so honored you have chosen us as Best Of Moore and South OKC.

It’s not easy being the best at something. Being the best takes hard work, dedication, and commitment. That’s why I’m proud that Norman Regional Moore’s emergency and physical therapy services have been named The Best of Moore and South OKC this year. Perhaps even more impressive is that our team has won their categories every year in the Best Of awards since its beginning! Norman Regional Moore and its previous name, Moore Medical Center, have been dedicated to quality patient care and our community has recognized that dedication. I’d like to thank everyone who voted for our team of healers in our Moore facility! We appreciate that you not only trust us to care for you but also took that extra step to vote for us!

Is "Added Protein" good for me? Q: I have been noticing lots of products in the grocery stores now have added protein in them. Are they beneficial? Should I be consuming them? A: Now you can find almost any item with additional protein including drinks, cookies, bars, and even ice cream. There is no shortage of companies with protein supplement shakes. You can find any variation and variety. They can help you reach your protein needs if you are unable to meet them on your own. Different types of protein have various benefits. Whey and soy protein can help build muscle. Casein protein can help manage appetite. Collagen protein can help nourish skin and joints. Pea protein is a plant protein that is easy to digest. Products containing additional protein are wonderful; however, they are not necessarily better for you than the alternative items. Read the ingredient labels. You may not need the additional protein in your diet. Think if you normally eat the same product without additional protein. Depending on what your goal is, these protein-fortified products may be beneficial for you or they may not be. Just because the product has extra protein does not mean it is better for you. If you need help incorporating more protein into your diet, do not hesitate to contact a Norman Regional outpatient dietitian for a consult. To schedule an appointment, please call 405-307-5730.

Bite Size Tech:
Mob Rule and the Cult of Online Outrage
I
t’s unsettling to watch the arms race between reason and rage being played out in social media these days. The most recent examples include:
•
A deluge of online hatred poured out after a 10-second video clip appeared to show a MAGAhat wearing teen displaying a smug attitude toward a Native American man. The condemnation continued even after a much longer video exonerated the teen.
•
A Young Adult fiction author stopped publication of a highly-anticipated book after a group of voracious Twitter-warriors deliberately quoted out-of-context excerpts from the book to sabotage her writing. It didn’t matter that the angry posters were obviously in the wrong. The author and her publisher decided it was just too hard to fight the tidal wave of lies.
•
A famous actor/comedian is forced to step down from his role as host of the Academy Awards based on jokes he told as a part of a stand-up comedy routine nearly a decade ago. Everything else the comedian had ever said or done was ignored in light of a handful of jokes.
•
Twitter activists fuel a lynch-mob search for a “man in a red hoodie” who they claim shot and killed a young girl in Houston. It turned out the witnesses who identified the man as the shooter were wrong. He was revealed to be a witness when the real shooters were arrested.
In each of those cases, there was the revelation of questionable information on Twitter, Facebook, and other social media sites. Those revelations were quickly picked up and passed on without any verification for their accuracy by both users of social media and various news outlets. The result was a mob mentality that demanded justice without the benefit of an exploration of the facts. It’s a growing mentality that flies in the face of any concept of truth and justice that
used to exist in America…and it doesn’t just happen in major cases like the examples given above. Visit the Moore, Oklahoma Facebook page on any given day, and you’ll likely find unverified complaints about all sorts of issues, followed by hundreds of comments from social media users who shovel questionable fuel on the fire. The old saying, “A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.” was never more accurate than in today’s world of instant audience access and 24-hour news cycle. Any burden of proof or verification of sources has been abandoned in favor of high emotion, especially anger and outrage. It’s easy to blame the current political situation for the firestorm that always seems to be burning. The real truth is that there appears to be little that can be done to quench the growing fire of mob rule and internet outrage. With that in mind, here are a couple of tips to help you keep from getting caught up in an online lynch mob.
3. Consider your own life and mistakes. Would you want judgments to be made about you based on a 10-second slice of your life when you’re at your worse or in a stressful situation? How about the choices you made when you were in high school? Things you did or said while under the influence at a party in college? There are two essential truths about the majority of people in this world: we all make mistakes, and we all change. It’s hard to expect anyone to extend grace to you if you’re unwilling to extend it to anyone else. We are very fortunate in America to have a government and system of justice in place that gets things right much more than it gets things wrong. Yes, there are problems. But all in all, we still live in a great country among people who believe in truth and justice. Mob rule is never the best choice. Not in real life and not online.
1. There are real-life consequences to social media actions. It’s all-too-easy to think that, “I’m just posting my opinion. I’m not hurting anyone.” The truth is that lives are being ruined. Relationships are broken. Jobs are lost. Families are destroyed, and there are even incidents when lives are lost. That post you’re typing may feel like a throwaway comment to you, but it could be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. 2. Pause before posting. Psychologists suggest a simple tactic for dealing with online stories or subjects that trigger you. Go ahead and type out your emotional response. Put all of your anger and outrage into your words. Then step away for 30 minutes. It may seem like a long time but walk away from your computer or smartphone. The chances are incredibly high that when you come back to the post you wrote earlier, you’ll edit it to a more reasonable response or just delete it.

book review
The Fly Author: Elise Gravel Publisher: Tundra Books Reviewer: Amber Luna, Children’s Services Assistant, Moore Public Library Does your child love bugs? Do they laugh at all things gross? If this sounds like your child, or yourself, then the Disgusting Critter Series by Elise Gravel is the series you didn’t know you needed! The first book in the Disgusting Critter Series focuses on the pesky fly. “The Fly” is a perfect blend of humor and facts. You’ll learn that flies are covered in hair, which may lead to a lot of required shaving, and that flies can walk on the ceiling, but it is hard to play soccer up there. Author and Illustrator, Elise Gravel has combined the world of non-fiction and comics. “The Fly” is geared toward children grades 2nd through 5th, but can be enjoyed by all ages, with an Accelerated Reader level of 2.7 and is worth 0.5 AR points. You may find “The Fly” and other humorous non-fiction in the Moore Public Library children’s department. Please feel free to visit the Children’s Desk or call us at 405-7934347 with any questions.
Skyward Author: Brandon Sanderson Pages: 513 Genre: Young Adult Reviewer: David Schneider, Information Services, Southwest OKC Public Library “Skyward” is the newest young adult book from Brandon Sanderson, the No. 1 New York Times best-selling author of the Reckoner’s series, Words of Radiance, and the Mistborn series. In “Skyward,” the remnants of humanity have been driven to a lone planet and are under constant attack from a mysterious race of aliens known as the Krell. The survivors rely on a fleet of fighter pilots to protect them from annihilation. The protagonist, Spensa, has always dreamed of following in her father’s footsteps and becoming a great pilot. Spensa’s father was the best pilot in the fleet until he mysteriously deserted and attacked his own team. Now, Spensa has been labeled the daughter of a coward and must overcome incredible hardships to make it through the brutal, often fatal, flight school and show everyone she belongs in the sky. “Skyward” is a captivating and inspirational story that will leave you wanting more. Sanderson, in typical fashion, creates a wonderful and unique world with interesting and relatable characters. “Skyward” is the first of a new series, and will appeal to Sanderson fans, sci-fi fans, and young adult fans in general. I highly recommend this book, and it can be found in physical, digital, and audio versions at your local library. 46 | MOORE MONTHLY | MARCH 2019

class acts by Whitney Randell
A Tale of Two Teams Northmoor Elementary School doesn’t start classes until 9:15 a.m., but one group of kids could be seen rolling in at 7:30 most every morning from early November through last week. What could possibly motivate grade school students to show up at school nearly two hours early and then stay after school until 5:30 in the afternoon? Archery. These kids have developed a passion for shooting and began showing up early and staying late to put in more practice time, shooting in hopes of getting good enough to compete at the state level. It paid off. The National Archery School Program (NASP) state tournament proved to be a first-time victory for a new Moore elementary team and a bittersweet one for a seasoned junior high team. The meet, held on February 14, at the State Fairgrounds hosted 25 Tier One and 25 Tier Two teams for each level of elementary, junior high and high school competition. Northmoor coach Eddie Fowlkes is no rookie to coaching archery. He started the program at Houchin Elementary and took his team there to state for eight consecutive years, winning first place in 2016 and 2017. When he transferred to Northmoor in 2018, he introduced the program in his P.E. classes and just this year, with the support of Northmoor principal, Vernona Decarlo, he got the program going full force. And full force they went, winning first place in the highest competitive level (Tier One) at Oklahoma NASP State Meet. Fowlkes expressed his pride in the team’s accomplishments. “This being Northmoor’s first year to compete, they exceeded all my goals for them,” Fowlkes said. “The people at the Oklahoma Wildlife Department are checking old scores,

but they believe this is the highest score ever by an elementary team in Oklahoma.” The team posted a score of 2768 out of a possible 3600 in December to qualify for the State Meet. They raised that by nearly 400 points to score 3163 to win that competition, beating the second-place team by nearly 200 points. “These kids practiced 12 to 14 hours a week and gave up some Thanksgiving and Christmas break time to hone their skills,” Fowlkes said. “A lot of kids on the team got bows for Christmas instead of game boxes and toys.” Coach Fowlkes’ team became supportive of each other throughout the season. “Northmoor kids have only been competing this year, but the kids became a close-knit group over the season, learning to care about each other and the burdens we all carry from time to time. They looked after each other in the classroom to make sure they were getting work done,” Fowlkes said. Moore West Junior High also had a great day. Sort of. They can add a runner-up trophy to their collection but lost a tough match by an incredibly narrow margin. Moore West team’s record under Coach Duane Smith is impressive, having never finished less than third place in any tournament in the last five years. His team Thursday missed the first-place title by a mere 12 points, with a score of 3225. That loss was made even harder to swallow given that they were favored to win the tournament. “I felt we had a better chance of winning the championship this year than any year…because we had beaten the next two best teams three times already this year and by
a pretty good margin,” Smith said. “We lost to last year’s runner-up, Chandler, who we had defeated three times this year,” he added. But while Northmoor’s team was having the meet of their year, the Moore West team was struggling. “For some reason, we just had an off day, and all but a few of our archers shot around 5-7 points lower than their average scores,” Smith said. “In fact, we shot our lowest score of the year as a team, so we certainly felt like we let one slip through our hands.” Still, runner-up is nothing to scoff at. “Finishing second in State and only being 12 points back of first place after having such a rough day of shooting is just a testament to how good our team really is this year,” Smith said. “I couldn’t be prouder of how well they shot this year.” Both coaches had a lot of praise for archery programs in school in general and for what they mean to the kids that participate. The programs aren’t at every school in the Moore district, and for the ones who do have archery programs, they stop after junior high, though NASP does go through high school graduation. “Archery teaches kids a lot of life lessons,” Fowlkes said. “Work ethic is one that stands out. It teaches them to focus on the task at hand,” he added. “Archery gives all kids a chance to compete in a sport where mental focus reigns.” Fowlkes feels being involved in archery can give a struggling kid purpose. “I have seen it year after year where a troubled student picks up a bow and learns to shoot, and it affects him to the
who have put so much time and effort into archery since elementary school can continue this valuable program through their high school years,” he said. Other notable accomplishments at the state meet were individual awards won by Moore students. At the junior high level, Moore West got a state champion in Haleigh Ryan with a score of 284 for girls and Emily Jackson of Moore West finished in third place for girls with a score of 278. Two other Moore West archers, Zoe Griffin, and Brooklyn Bates scored high enough to qualify all four archers for individuals at the NASP national tournament. At the elementary level, Anya Maynard of Northmoor placed third for girls with a score of 261 and Jesse Pevehouse, also of Northmoor, placed second for boys with a score of 278. Wayland Bonds Elementary brought home the thirdplace team trophy for the meet as well.

core,” Fowlkes said. “The pain some kids experience in a dysfunctional world, that all stops when they’re on the line to shoot at a target with their friends.” Coach Smith sees the value that the archery program has provided to the Moore school district. “Archery has meant so much to so many of our students over the years that I would love to see all students in our district have the opportunity to participate in such a positive and motivating program,” Smith said. “We have seen grades, attendance, discipline and general enthusiasm for school all improve by students who have taken part in our archery program over the last seven years,” Smith said. Smith also expressed his thoughts about the future of archery in the Moore district at the secondary level. “Our hope is that we will eventually have NASP programs in the [Moore] high schools so that the students

SPORTS BY KIAMI WHITFIELD
Whether it’s respect, leadership skills, or incredible academics, Bohrofen exhibits qualities that show precisely why he is so successful in his baseball career at such a young age. Jace has demonstrated he is auspicious in the classroom and boasts a GPA of over 4.0 and has acquired a spot in National Honor Society at Westmoore High School. He is admired among peers and teachers alike because of his consideration and respect for others, which he has learned from his family, as well as playing the sport he loves. Jace was introduced to baseball by his father when he was just 4 years old and has
been playing ever since. ‘’It’s just always been a big part of my life’’ says Bohrofen. ‘’My dad has always been my best coach, he’s taught me everything from baseball to life.’’ Respect and honesty are crucial to Jace, and he says that it is challenging to be an admirable leader without those qualities. Whether it’s Westmoore or Midwest Elite, these qualities have made him a valuable member of any team. Bohrofen describes himself as a leader, but also as a team player. He says that first impressions are crucial, and that respect, a firm handshake, and a smile can go a long way. However, Jace does more than just baseball. He also plays quarterback on Westmoore High School’s football team. Bohrofen says playing football helps him keep in shape during the offseason and helps him gain additional skills that he can use on the diamond. Some of these skills include; quick thinking, coachability, and mental toughness.
These skills have helped Bohrofen become a great athlete with some of the best stats in the state. With a batting average of .512, 59 RBIs, 10 home runs, and 64 hits in his sophomore season, there’s no denying that Jace definitely has a bright future ahead of him. In addition to this, he has been selected for the ABCA/Rawlings All-American Team, The Oklahoman’s Big All-City Player of the Year, and the All-State First Team. Bohrofen is ready for this upcoming season and says that he’s excited to see what his Junior year has in store for him. Will Jace Bohrofen become Oklahoma’s next Rising Star?
BAM. You found a shop.
Any great athlete knows that success requires more than just tremendous stats. They know you must first acquire a variety of skill sets off the field before you can be successful on the field. A prime example of this logical thinking is Jace Bohrofen.

I Love Kickboxing 938 SW 25th Street If you are tired of waiting your turn on the elliptical machine or you are bored with the treadmill, it may be time to kick your fitness routine up a notch! Boredom is the number one reason people stop working out and is why ilovekickboxing came to be. They created an exciting, fun and challenging workout that engages participants and is anything but boring. In fact, their motto is “Fun – while getting it done.” Ilovekickboxing’s routine consists of a bag-hitting, adrenaline-flowing, upbeat and fun workout that anyone can do, regardless of age or fitness level. Imagine strapping on real boxing gloves and moving like a lean prizefighter! The program is a cardio fat-burning program that implements fun kickboxing combos and engages a full body workout that focuses on weight loss, strength and muscle training, conditioning and increasing stamina and stress relief. Cassandra Walker is the owner of Oklahoma’s first and only ilovekickboxing club located in Moore, OK. She said clients enjoy ilovekickboxing because they have so much fun, they tend to forget that they are working out. “The routines are all done to the beat of the most popular and latest music,” said Walker. “And our members have a blast without realizing how much effort they are exerting.” Walker describes Kickboxing as a full body workout, with the obvious benefits associated with getting in shape. But she claims it’s how quickly someone can lose weight, tone up and reach their fitness goals, that sets them apart. “We also know that our program can build confidence and self-assurance, which are always great benefits to have,” said Walker. Walker has worn a variety of hats through the years, spending many of those in Corporate America working in healthcare sales and marketing. She and her husband came to open their fitness business last spring and are happy to be celebrating their first anniversary on the 20th of this month. She is thankful for the support of the city of Moore and looks forward to greater success in the coming years. In fact, Walker says the Moore studio has proven to be so rewarding and successful, that she plans to open two additional locations in the metro area in the near future. “We recognize that this area offers a wide array of health and fitness choices,” said Walker. “So we have set ourselves apart by offering a unique culture that has to be experienced to understand. Seeing that culture take shape here in Moore, no pun intended, is one of the most gratifying parts of my job.” 56 | MOORE MONTHLY | MARCH 2019
With over 200 ILKB studios across the country and Canada, Walker is amazed at the intimate, encouraging and family-like culture that is created at each studio. She said the studio environment seems to breed new friendships, brings the best out in participants, and has even brought soulmates together. She says ILKB family is like no other. The ILKB family share their lives on their VIP Facebook page as well as on the gym floor. Here, the “FitFam” as they call themselves, share their ups and downs and personal testimonials and encourage one another. Together they find the strength to create their best versions of themselves. “Customers are constantly telling us that ILKB has helped them start to live their best lives,” said Walker. “Motivating people to reach their fitness goals and helping them work towards a healthier lifestyle is so gratifying. I wake up every day knowing that I am making a difference!” Walker takes great pride in offering such an innovative and effective fitness option not available elsewhere. She considers being a mom to 3 young adult children and sharing her new passion with them as her greatest pride and joy. Walker said, “I hope that all my hard work and dedication as a business owner will always remind them they can achieve any goal they set for themselves.” ILKB offer 23 classes six days a week, with everything from early morning to evening classes available. Prices range with options for nearly every budget. Check out the ILKB studio at 937 SW 25th Street. Hours are: Monday, Wednesday and Friday 2pm-9:30 p.m.; Tuesday and Thursday 5:30 a.m.-9:30 p.m. and Saturdays 8 a.m.-3 p.m.
