Smithsonian Institution Brings Water/ Ways Exhibit to Ada Public Library By Sunnie Dawn Smith
A
s part of their educational mission, the Smithsonian Institution will occasionally put together traveling exhibits that are designed to bring museum quality exhibits to parts of the country that might not otherwise have access to these types of things. When Ada Public Library director Jolene Poore first found out from the Oklahoma Humanities Council about the Smithsonian Institution Water/Ways Exhibit, she knew that her library needed to apply for a grant to host it. The application process was difficult and time consuming, but in the end it was worth it. Ada Public Library is one of only five libraries in the state that received approval to host the traveling exhibit. Through the course of the process, staff members had to provide details of the additional activities the library would provide. The selection committee had to do a site visit to make sure that the location was suitable and secure, and even after that process, they still had more questions. Poore said it was one of the most challenging grants she has ever had to apply for, and as director of a public library, that is saying something. One of the great things about the exhibit, Poore said, is that the Smithsonian Institution knows exactly what they are doing and helped the library through every part of the setup and installation. The exhibit is designed to be put together by the community, from the unpacking of the boxes and installation to the interaction of the community at large with the exhibit. While it is up to the Smithsonian to provide the educational tools, it is up to the community to truly make it their own. “Water/Ways, an exhibition from the Smithsonian’s Museum on Main Street, explores the relationship between people and water,” according to information from the Smithsonian Institution. “It explores the centrality of water in our lives, including its effect on the environment and climate, its practical role in agriculture and economic planning and its impact on culture and spirituality.” This exhibit showcases the far-reaching impact of water in everybody’s life. Not only do people need water to survive, but water also has a profound impact on culture

ranging from fishing to agriculture to water parks to baptismal fonts. The exhibit features five different sections that focus on different ways that water affects communities and individuals. This is an interactive, hands-on exhibit that allows people to investigate as they learn. There are also three interactive multimedia stations – two that allow visitors to delve more deeply into the topics and issues that interest them the most and one that is a water management game that challenges to manage water allocation in a community. Playing the game gives the participants a sense of the delicate balance that water managers face on a daily basis. As a part of the exhibit, though, the Ada Public Library had to supplement the materials the Smithsonian loaned them with community activities, bringing together their own wealth of information and activities to engage all ages of the community. A complementary exhibit, History of Ada’s Water, will run Sept. 9-Oct. 12 at the Ada Public Library at 124 S Rennie Ave. This exhibit developed by the community will explore the history and impact of water on Ada and its development. In addition to this, there are also many other community-led activities. The Ada Library Friends are hosting a Popsicle Boat Build Contest at 9:30 a.m. on Sept. 21 for all ages. Several categories will be available, including creativity and speed. Bruce Moring will guide a Water Walk around Winter-
smith Park at 5 p.m. on Sept. 22, which will highlight the unique forms of life that call Wintersmith home. This will begin at the stage at Wintersmith and end up there by the time Music in the Park starts at 6 p.m. Family Movie Night will be at 5:30 p.m. on Sept. 24 at the Ada Public Library. At 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 1, East Central University professor and poet, Ken Hada, will do a multimedia presentation about the collaboration with his brother, Duane Hada, a watercolor artist, and his poetic responses recorded in their book, “The River White: A Confluence of Brush and Quill.” Volunteers from Blue Thumb – a nationally recognized water quality education program – will provide information at 6 p.m. on Oct. 8 about how locals can protect their streams and rivers. Finally, Erick O Anang, Terrie A. Becerra, Charles Peaden and Christine Pappas with ECU will present a panel discussion on water conservation behaviors and attitudes in Ada, springing from their upcoming published research. The Ada Public Library will announce the time and date for this event shortly. The Smithsonian Institution Water/Ways Exhibit will be on display at the Ada Public Library through Oct. 12 during regular hours of operation: Monday-Friday 8 a.m.-7 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m.-1 p.m.. Any schools interested in field trips or groups wanting to view the exhibit after hours are encouraged to contact the library at (580) 436-8125. www.adahub.com • 5
Swinging with Ada’s Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man By Sunnie Dawn Smith
I
t all began in the fall of 2017. Aaron Branson’s daughter, Allie, who was age three at the time, decided she wanted her dad to dress up with her for Halloween. She was going to go as the Flash, and she wanted her dad to be Spider-Man. They were going to go trick-or-treating and keep a close eye out for supervillains. How could her dad say no? He had always been into comics and when his daughter requested he dress up as Spider-Man he did so with glee. This is how Ada Spidey was born. Branson found a cheap Spider-Man suit on Amazon and donned it with pride. His daughter and he went out dressed as their respective heroes, and both of them had a great time. However, he was surprised at how much joy he brought to others, just being a grown man in a Spider-Man suit. They had so much fun that he thought he would probably do it again the next year. However, 6 • www.adahub.com
things took an unexpected turn. One of his Facebook friends told him about a group out of Oklahoma City called “The League,” which is a DC and Marvel costume charity. Essentially, it is a group of people with good quality costumes who get into character and help benefit children’s charities and other forms of charitable outreach. Branson and his daughter went up to Oklahoma City to check it out, and they both fell in love with the idea. He joined the organization and began his transformation. The other people in the group were incredibly helpful to Branson. Other people who would play Spider-Man, as well as other characters, gave him advice on where to find good quality suits – he now has four – and also how to do the upkeep on them. He also started working on himself as a person. Even though he was already pretty healthy and in good shape, Branson started paying

more attention to what he ate and started working out more. If he was going to be Spider-Man, he really needed to do it right. While he could do some basic tricks before, like cartwheels, he started learning more in order to make his portrayal more realistic. He can now kick up from the ground using his feet, do somersaults and is working on a backflip. The act of becoming Ada Spidey has touched Branson’s life and the lives of those he helps. One of the things Branson loves most about being Ada Spidey is the chance to show kids that it is OK to be themselves, even if that means dressing up like a superhero. In the beginning it took some bravery to don the suit in public, but that is also part of the lesson he imparts to kids. “Starting off, the biggest challenge was being brave enough to go out into public and do it,” Branson said. “When people see someone in a Spider-Man suit, they may be happy, but some will be judgmental and think you are just a weirdo in a Spider-Man suit. But overcoming what other people think is one of the messages I want to send to kids. If you love it, do it. It doesn’t matter what people think. If I can put a smile on someone's face, that makes it all worth it.” It absolutely made Branson’s day when after putting his SpiderMan suit away after a long day at AdaFest, he went out to the evening concerts and saw a teenage boy in a Spider-Man suit. He approached the young man and was told that the kid had been wanting to go out in his suit to bring smiles to others, but he had been scared to do so until he saw Branson dressed up like that
earlier in the day. While Branson has done many charity events in Ada and the surrounding communities, the one that stands out to him the most was a blood drive for a little boy named Jojo. Jojo is a four-year-old boy from Calvin who loves Spider-Man and also happens to have neuroblastoma – a form of cancer. He was in treatment in Houston while his friends and family rallied together to hold a blood drive for him in Calvin. Ada Spidey came to the event for several reasons. He was going to play with the kids who were there and also give blood himself. They were taking pics of Spider-Man donating blood to Jojo to help give the little boy even more strength and courage. Then, at the end, he was going to video chat with him at the hospital in Houston. However, Branson did not know that the hospital had let Jojo out for a small leave, and just as he was about to call Jojo, the young boy walked in the door. The little boy’s absolute joy at seeing his favorite superhero was overwhelming. Spidey got to play with the kid on the playground, hang upside down and even show him some tricks. It was one of those moments that will be burned into Branson’s mind for the rest of his life. For more information about Ada’s Friendly Neighborhood SpiderMan, check out his Facebook page, Ada Spidey. This is the best way to contact him if anyone is in need of his charitable and joyful services. Also, it is a good way to follow the exploits of a local superhero. www.adahub.com • 7

The Beginnings of All-Girl Cub Scouts Pack Nine By Sunnie Dawn Smith
I
n August 2018, the Boy Scouts of America made national headlines by officially allowing girls to join their ranks to create co-ed packs or troops or even all-girl groups. This decision was met with some controversy from all sides, but what some people might not know is that BSA had actually allowed girls to join for decades before that. Adam Wrublewski, district executive with the Arbuckle Area Council of BSA, said girls had been allowed to join the “Venture Crews” – scoutplanned high adventure trips – since as early as 1971. The decision last year to be more inclusive of girls formalized the notion that BSA could be an organization for everyone. “On Feb. 1, we started allowing the girl troops, but we hadn’t been able to get the traction we needed until now,” Wrublewski said. Now, these groups are taking off thanks to some local volunteers. Troop 13 – currently led by Steve Ivan – has been around since 1938 and has affected the lives of boys and young men for seven decades, and it now accepts female scouts. Troop 19 will be a standalone girl troop led by Rebecca Grein. Pack Nine will be an all-girl pack of scouts led by Jo Anna Owens. The difference between a pack and a troop is age level. Packs are for Cub Scouts, which are for kids in grades kindergarten through fifth grade. Troops, or Scouts BSA, are for students in grades six through 12. There are also other programs for different age levels that go beyond high school, encouraging scouts to
get involved and stay involved. The Venture Crews are primarily scout-led high adventure and are for ages 14-20. They also have Explorer Clubs for ages 10-13, which are primarily career-oriented and bring in professionals in fields like aviation, medicine, technology and more to run these clubs and guide the activities. Owens didn’t start off thinking she was going to lead a whole pack of Cub Scouts. She had much more modest goals in mind in the beginning, but as opportunities presented themselves, she found herself on this new path. “I scouted as a kid, and I wanted to provide that experience for my daughter,” Owens said. “I explored options, and (Wrublewski) made himself available and was passionate about scouting. It made me feel good about joining the organization. I knew that recently they were letting girls in at the Cub Scout level. I have a first grader, and I wanted to get her involved. However, when I spoke with him, there wasn’t a real clear path yet. I had been willing to be a leader, and (Wrublewski) convinced me to start a pack.” Owens is still looking for more girls to join her pack as well as volunteers. They provide all of the training, and much of it is online to make it easier for volunteers to get registered. Leaders keep the safety of all their scouts at the forefront and do background checks, but they also require training designed for youth protection. In addition, any pack or troop that has any girls in it has to have at least one female registered leader.

They will hit the ground running with their popcorn sales almost immediately, which run Sept. 12-Oct. 18. Two-thirds of the money from these sales goes back into the individual units and the council. The remaining third goes to pay for the product. The council primarily uses its money to conduct marketing for its units, maintain its campground at Camp Simpson and provide free training. Some of the smaller trainings might be $10$20 that the volunteer would need to pay, but other trainings can be hundreds of dollars, which the council will take care of these using the popcorn money. The individual units can use their money for whatever they need. Sometimes it is to help pay annual dues or to pay for camp registration.
“There is a cost to scouting, but we don’t let finances stand in the way of joining scouts,” Wrublewski said. “If someone wants to join scouts but they are going through financial hardship, then we will find a way to get them in.” Popcorn sales are one way to help make it more affordable. An annual membership is $33 for Scouts, but they also prorate the amount if someone joins later in the year. As of now, the amount is $20. For anyone interested in joining Scouts at any level, call or text Adam Wrublewski at (817) 992-1921. Even though it is a Dallas area number, he is still local to Ada. Also, if anyone is interested in buying popcorn but doesn’t know a scout, Wrublewski said he would be happy to send a scout their way. www.adahub.com • 9
Staff members at Family Crisis Center provide help for those looking to escape abusive situation through a variety of services, including shelter, court advocacy, education and more.

Family Crisis Center responds to abuse victims’ needs with help from the community By Sunnie Dawn Smith
R
ecently, there has been a trend among those who work in domestic violence advocacy to change the name of what they do from advocacy to homicide prevention. While this might seem drastic to some, it is in many ways the truth of what they are doing. While not all abusive relationships end in homicide, an alarming number do. In 2018, according to the Oklahoma Domestic Violence Fatality Review Board, there were 82 people murdered as a result of domestic violence. This is one reason why organizations like the Family Crisis Center located at 615 E. 12th St. are so important. While they cannot be open all the time, they do have a 24/7 domestic violence hotline. They can be called at (580) 4366648 during business hours, Monday and Tuesday 8 a.m-6:30 p.m., Wednesday 8 10 • www.adahub.com
a.m.-5 p.m., and Thursday 8 a.m.-6 p.m.. The 24-hour hotline can be reached at (580) 436-3504 any time help is needed. The Family Crisis Center provides education, advocacy and life-saving help to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking. It began in 1980 just as a hotline manned solely by volunteers, but as it grew, the first shelter opened in the 1990s. The shelter is one thing the organization leaders are wanting to improve upon, mainly because they are often at capacity and sometimes have to send victims and their families to other towns for safety. While domestic violence is already traumatic enough for the partners involved, children present a greater challenge as being uprooted from their friends and family can be even more traumatic and devastating.
While most people want to see an increase in the use of their services to the community, this is one area where an increase is both sad and frightening. “I would love it if one day I came in and I didn’t have a job any more – if there was no need for our services,” executive director Shelley Battles-Reichle said. It does not seem like that day is going to come anytime soon, though. Family Crisis Center victims advocate Kati Johnson said she laments the fact that they are seeing more people than ever. “Clients seeking sexual assault services have doubled in the last year,” Johnson said. “As for domestic violence, during the calendar year 2018 we housed 152 people in the shelter, which was an increase of 44 percent. Non-residential services went up 115 percent.”
Whether this increase is from more cases of abuse or better education about what abuse is, advocates are not sure. There are many things that the Family Crisis Center does in addition to running the shelter. They also do court advocacy, such as accompanying victims to court for protective orders. They run support groups and educational groups. They train police officers to better deal with domestic violence cases and recognize which ones could be potentially lethal. They do programs at schools about healthy dating habits for teens. They also help victims with their safety planning. While most people think about domestic violence as physical abuse, many of the victims say they would rather deal with the physical abuse than the verbal and emotional abuse, Johnson said. Bruises can heal, but the scars on the psyche can take a lifetime to recover. It is important to stop the abuse before it becomes physical and possibly deadly. According to the Domestic Violence Awareness Guide developed by the Oklahoma Department of Human Services, there are many signs that can point to psychological or emotional abuse like blaming the victim for everything; getting jealous; controlling finances, activities, sleep, dress and schedules; isolating someone from friends, family, jobs, school and church; verbally insulting someone; threatening to harm the victim or any children in the picture; threatening to take the children; intimidating someone; or killing or injuring pets in front of you. One of the most difficult things about
these relationships is that they don’t start out abusive. The victim may be very much in love with the abuser, so they want to make it work. They want to believe that the abuser has changed. However, BattlesReichle said these abusive patterns always escalate even if they seem to be better in the short term. While the Family Crisis Center’s services provided have gone up, their funding has not kept pace. They are constantly searching for grants and tax-deductible donations. There are also many other things that the organization could use as well. Staff members keep their current needs list updated on Facebook, but most people could find things of need by thinking about anything they use on a regular basis. These are the items victims in the shelter could use as well, such as towels, feminine hygiene products, toothbrushes, tooth-
paste, deodorant, makeup, coffee and tea. At the beginning of this school year, they needed kids’ shoes and backpacks, school clothes and other back to school supplies. Sometimes they even need diapers, baby bottles, formula and baby food. Items they could always use are large duffel bags to help the victims grab their stuff quickly and transport it to a safe place. Anyone who is in need of Family Crisis Center’s services should not hesitate to contact them. They are there to help people to whatever extent they need it. Those in an abusive situation and don’t see how they can safely exit if at all or if they have been kept from working or going to school, the Family Crisis Center can give them some idea of the possibilities out there before it is too late.
