SHOP LOCAL GUIDE The holiday shopping season is fast approaching! And as you prepare your shopping lists and get ready for some retailtherapy, don’t forget that Moore has a lot of local options. Keeping your money local provides great benefits to your local community, so consider using this guide and shop local first before you hit the malls and department stores.

HUNDREDS OF SPEECH & DEBATE STUDENTS TO DESCEND ON MOORE During the weekends of November 6th and 7th and November 13th and 14th, hundreds of students from all over the state will be visiting Moore for two of the top speech and debate tournaments in the state!

After you read the article, please consider donating to our local students as they prepare for these tournaments.

53

SWIMMING AND WRESTLING TO TAKE CENTER STAGE Local high school swimming programs may have lost their practice facility when they lost the use of the OCCC Aquatic Center, but that hasn’t stopped them from competing.

And, as we have grown to expect, the wrestling programs at all three high schools are ready to take it to the mat! See what’s in store for these teams in the swimming and wrestling previews.

From the Editor Other than football and hunting, the arrival of November also signifies three things…food, family, and shopping! As we get ready for the Thanksgiving holiday, many of us are also looking forward to the holiday shopping season. But as you get your shopping lists ready for this season, why not think about shopping local. Some of the best retail-therapy experiences can be found at local boutiques, and Moore may have more than you realize! And in addition to giving our locals your business, the sales tax from your dollars stays here in Moore. So before heading to the malls, check out our “Shop Local Guide” and make plans to stop at some of the local places first!

And speaking of shopping, highlighted in this month’s Shop and Taste are two people dedicated to bringing quality business to Moore. Victoria Ireland offers quality fashion at reasonable prices in her Old Town store, HayVic’s, and former NFL star Billy Bajema scores big with his new restaurant, Pie 5 Pizza. Check out details on both places in our Shop and Taste section.

But even with the holidays approaching, there is a group of students working hard in preparation for the arrival of more than 300 students from all over the state to Moore on back-to-back weekends.

Moore and Southmoore High Schools are hosting two of the top speech and debate tournaments in the state. But they could use your help! As the article will explain, both schools are in need of donations for the tournaments, including items to

sell for their fundraiser concession stands and supplies, such as timers and legal pads.

And for many of us, going to the movies is part of the Thanksgiving tradition. So make sure to check out the holiday movie guide! And Rob Morris provides his take on the five best animated movies of all time. And don’t forget to go online to themooredaily.com to add your input on his choices.

And Cole Poland provides details as the high school softball season comes to an end and the swimming and wrestling seasons begin.

As always, our very skilled art director Jeff Albertson and illustrator Kenna Baker share their talent with us. My favorite is always Kenna’s illustrations in the library calendar section. A lot of hard work goes into her drawings, so make sure to spend some time checking out her art.

As you spend quality time with your family this month, remembering how lucky we are to live in this great country and in this very special city, please accept our blessings to your family from ours. Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at the Moore Monthly!

NFL STAR SCORES BIG WITH PIE 5 PIZZA Former Westmoore Jaguar, OSU, and NFL football star Billy Bajema starts a new journey as owner of the new Pie 5 Pizza restaurant on 19th Street! With 4 crusts, 7 sauces, and 28 toppings to choose from, you’re sure to score big when you visit one of Moore’s newest restaurants!

Moore Monthly’s Sales Director Aleta Wheelbarger Retires

BY BRENT WHEELBARGER

Nine years ago I called my mom with a strange question, “would you consider selling ads for a magazine that doesn’t exist yet?” She said “yes” and launched a brand new career as the one and only sales person for the Moore Monthly magazine.

She and my dad actually moved to Moore from Edmond to help with the enterprise (and be closer to their grandkids). The first issue hit stands October of 2006. It was twenty-two pages, some of which did have ads on them.

Through the years Aleta Wheelbarger grew Moore Monthly’s ad base to include hundreds of businesses across the community.

As she increased the number of advertisers, our reporting team increased the level of content to match. The issue you’re holding today is seventy-six pages, in

large part to her efforts. She also incorporated TheMooreDaily.com video news website into the mix in 2012 and helped grow its advertising base. Today our website is the number one source for local news in Moore and South Oklahoma City.

With a third grandkid on the way (my brother and his wife) and a desire to really be “grandma,” Aleta is retiring. Those who know her well may be suspect of this news; can Aleta really sit still long enough to retire? That is yet to be determined, but she really is retiring. I knew this was for real when she and dad booked tickets to Tahiti.

Clearly Aleta leaves big shoes to fill. But in keeping with her sales prowess, she sought out and brought into the fold a fantastic replacement.

Donna Walker helped start the Edmond Outlook magazine, serving

16 | MOORE MONTHLY | NOVEMBER 2015

as its first sales person. Before that, she was at The Oklahoman and OKC Friday newspapers. A proud Moore native, Donna is now moving into the role of Sales Director for the Moore Monthly and TheMooreDaily.com.

Our team is certainly sad to see “mom” retire, but also incredibly excited about the experience and passion Donna is bringing to our news division. Aleta has become an important part of the fabric of Moore and will continue to be so, even in her retirement. But now we look forward to Donna adding a new thread into the fabric. It’s already looking great.

EVENT SPOTLIGHT:

Classical Guitar Quartet Looks to Blow Audience Away

BY ROB MORRIS

They’ve been performing together for more than 30-years, and now they’re bringing their premier musical talents to the OCCC Visual and Performing Arts Center. The Los Angeles Guitar Quarter will perform at the South OKC venue on Thursday, November 12, at 7:30 p.m.

The Grammy® Award-winning group has been recognized as one of the top instrumental ensembles in the country, with critically-acclaimed performances that provide a fresh look at the music of the past, along with interpretations of contemporary works and world-music sounds that continually break new-ground.

The members of the quartet are as follows: John Dearman Originally from Minneapolis, Dearman is a versatile guitarist whose repertoire ranges from samba to bluegrass, and from flamenco to classical.

He enriches the sound of the LAGQ by performing on a unique sevenstring guitar with extended upper and lower registers. John is currently director of the Guitar Chamber Music program at California State University, Northridge, in Los Angeles.

Matthew Greif Greif is the newest member of the Quartet. In addition to being a classical guitarist, he has an extensive background playing in other styles, such as jazz, rock, flamenco and bluegrass. Matthew’s recordings include Permanent Transition, which features duo improvisations with Andrew York and Dusan Bogdanovic. Matthew was named Outstanding Graduate of the U.S.C. guitar department, where he studied with William Kanengiser, James Smith, and Scott Tennant. He also studied jazz with Joe Diorio and Frank Potenza. Matthew currently teaches classical and jazz guitar at Cal State University, Dominguez Hills, in the Los Angeles area.

William Kanengiser Acclaimed soloist, recording artist and professor at the USC Thornton School of Music, William Kanengiser is one of the few guitarists to have won the Concert Artists Guild New York Competition. His solo recordings on the GSP label display his unique approach to programming, ranging from the music of the Old World to the Caribbean to his latest disc Classical Cool, an exploration of jazz currents for classical guitar. He has earned critical acclaim for his imaginative arrangements for solo guitar and guitar quartet, and for producing two instructional videos for Hot Licks.

Kanengiser may be best known as the classical guitarist in the 1986 film Crossroads.

Scott Tennant Celebrated as a world-class performer, author and teacher, Detroit-born Scott Tennant has been concertizing since the age of twelve. Much in demand as a solo artist, Scott has recorded for Delos International and is currently completing a recording project of the complete solo guitar works of Joaquin Rodrigo for GHA, Belgium.

National Non-Profit Promotes Heart Health in Oklahoma

BY KATIE ROBERTS

It’s o-fish-al; Oklahoma City loves seafood! The Seafood Nutrition Partnership (SNP) recently chose Oklahoma City as one of nine U.S. cities on which to focus its national campaign, Love Your Heart, Eat Your Seafood, for heart health awareness through seafood consumption. SNP is a national non-profit whose mission is to inspire a healthier America by raising awareness about the health benefits of seafood.

With Oklahoma being a state ranked with one of the highest cardiovascular death rates according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it’s no wonder SNP wants to reach out to Oklahomans. This grass-roots coalition campaign received enormous support from leaders from the areas of health care and wellness, faith, food service, and the business and labor industries, as well as elected officials, academics, and disease advocacy associations. Coalition members and local event coordination efforts have acted in tandem with October’s National Seafood Month.

A 2015 study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported cardiovascular disease is the number one killer in America, while

their 2009 study reported Oklahoma has the second highest death rate from the disease in the US. With these alarming statistics in mind, Seafood Nutrition Partnership has focused a large amount of their national efforts of heart health awareness in the nine cities representing the states that are heavily affected by this preventable disease. Cities participating in the SNP campaign alongside Oklahoma City include Toledo, OH, Golden Isles, GA, Memphis, TN, Indianapolis, IN, Lexington, KY, Birmingham, AL, Charleston, WV and Jacksonville, FL. SNP’s goal, simply put, is to improve our heart health. The USDA recommends that Americans eat seafood, a nutrient-rich food that is packed with heart-healthy Omega 3 fatty acids, at least twice a week for our heart health and overall wellness. However, only 1 in 10 Americans currently follows this guideline. That means nearly 90 percent of us are not taking the right steps to protect our hearts.

Oklahoma City’s local SNP team has led several events in October for Seafood Month. These events include free Omega-3 screenings and classes

for community partners including Homeland and INTEGRIS, as well as the Oklahoma City-County Health Department’s Wellness Now coalition.

The SNP team also passed out educational materials, seafood coupons and canned seafood to members of the Oklahoma City community.

SNP has also partnered with local restaurants to host Oklahoma City Seafood Week at their locations throughout the metro. These partners promoted the seafood options on their menus and shared educational SNP materials with their patrons. Seafood Week was October 19th through October 25th. SNP restaurant partners included both Rococo at Northpark and Penn locations, Pearl’s Oyster Bar, Crabtown, Trapper’s Fishcamp & Grill, Mickey Mantle’s Steakhouse and Pelican’s Restaurant.

The team most recently participated in Wellness Now’s Open Streets event in South Oklahoma City’s Capital Hill district. They handed out canned tuna and coupons that were donated by SNP’s national partners to all attendees.

Participants were even able to partake in a fitness challenge.

“One of the best things about being apart of the Seafood Nutrition Partnership’s efforts in Oklahoma City is seeing our community members’ faces light up when we tell them about how simply eating more seafood can truly change their overall health and wellness,” said local SNP team member Jantzen Jolly. “We love helping the people of Oklahoma City realize how affordable and delicious all the different seafood options can be for them and their families.”

Seafood Nutrition Partnership advocates for all types of seafood including fresh, frozen and canned options. One of their loudest messages has been that no matter the budget, seafood is a great and affordable addition to all Oklahomans’ daily diets. SNP plans to continue to build and grow their coalition and campaign efforts in Oklahoma City into the future, meaning that for the people of Oklahoma City, seafood is here to stay.

Sketches of Moore

History through the Generations

BY L.T. HADLEY

From 1882, when Moore was incorporated, until 1912, there were no official recorded “minutes” of the actions of the trustees or growth and development of the town. Information handed down from parents to children and on to grandchildren provided the basic record of town progress, along with letters, county records, newspaper articles, and several bits of “personal remembrances.”

Three years ago, almost the last of the earlier sources of “Old Moore” information died at 93. Carl Jantz lived in and around Moore from the time he, as a boy of eight, and his brother Dave drove—on foot— their father’s small herd of cattle from Enid to begin a dairy in Moore. Shortly after the family arrived, the father died of typhoid from a polluted water well.

Albert Smith spent nearly all his 87 years in Moore. He served several times as town trustee, chairman, and city clerk, and kept the cemetery records for nearly 50 years. He knew virtually everyone, because he and his wife, Ida, carried on the

operation of his father’s grocery store. He knew at least one story about any name mentioned and loved to tell and retell those stories.

Ethel Curless moved to Moore as a young teenager in 1899. In a town production of a play, she played the part of a girl named Nell, and a young man named Ben Leverich played her romantic interest.

Their romance lasted scores of years after the play, and the name Nell stuck. Uncle Ben and Aunt Nell Leverich operated their café at several locations in Moore.

She had a unique sense of humor and many stories to tell of earlier years.

Mel Dyer built the first brick house in town for his young bride, Sally, a house that still stands at the corner and Main and Chestnut. At 99, Sally still went, most days, to the Senior Center to quilt. Mel’s father, Sam, homesteaded two miles south of Moore and raised his family of ten. One son, Lester, was in the first graduating class of OU School of Pharmacy in 1906.

He and his father bought the pharmacy,

renamed it Era Drug, and Lester operated it for over 40 years. It was the place to buy schoolbooks, ice cream, horse reins, medicine, gloves and fountain drinks.

Mildred Moore was the unofficial town historian. Her father, P.R. Simms, was a jack-of-all-trades and master of them all. He was a watch repairman, jeweler, inventor, barber, builder, and fire chief for 31 years. He took care of the chemical fire cart until he remodeled a pickup into the first fire truck. Every boy in town hoped to be there when a fire happened to see it in use. When asked to build Dyer’s new drug store, P.R. first invented a machine to make concrete blocks.

In 1912, Leon Platt was city clerk and the first to begin recording proceedings of the town and board meetings. He and his father began the Platt Lumber Company at South First and Broadway in 1906, where it operated for many years.

A few days after the 1889 run, W. G. Jury bought a homestead from a dissatisfied settler. After World War 1,

Jury’s daughter, Vera, and a young farmer named Allen January from an adjoining homestead married and raised their nine children near the original homestead. Vera and her brother Joe told many colorful stores of growing up in Moore.

Applegates, Marvels, Dreessens, Wheelers, and hundreds more wrote some of their book of life in Moore; but have all left this scene of action and much of their knowledge and experience left with them. A common failure for succeeding generations is to overlook the importance of historical information until too late.

Perhaps all are too busy living it to take time to record it. What have you told your children and grandchildren of family or community history?

Note: This edition of Sketches of Moore was first published in a previous issue of Moore Monthly.

Brand Senior Center: A Special Place for Senior Adults

BY KATHLEEN WILSON, AGING SERVICES INC.

If you are a senior adult living in Moore or anywhere nearby, you should visit the Brand Senior Center. Every day is filled with a variety of activities. In the mornings, musical entertainment is frequently performed by individuals or a band. Health and wellness checks such as blood pressure checks, blood sugar checks, and various other checks/screens are conducted on a regular basis. Some mornings there are educational presentations by local professionals on topics of special interest to senior adults such as Social Security/Medicare updates.

Each month a registered dietician presents a program on healthy eating for older adults. It is always a fun and festive environment at the Brand Center. Days are filled with pool games, card games, domino games, line dancing classes and quilting. There are also opportunities to play games like Wii bowling and bingo. It is a great place to meet new friends and reconnect with old ones. The Brand Senior Center is located at 501 East Main and is open for activities from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. The Center is operated by the Moore Council on Aging and the City of Moore.

Increasing recreational opportunities for seniors was one of the objectives identified in Moore’s Vision

28 | MOORE MONTHLY | NOVEMBER 2015

20/20 planning process. “The Moore Vision 20/20 is a statement of the City of Moore’s long-term goals as determined through an exhaustive citizen-input process in 2006,” said Elizabeth Jones, Director of Community Development for the City of Moore. “At that time, the community recognized the importance of providing adequate recreation and social service opportunities for the elderly. As the city has grown in size, it seemed to be the right time to expand the Brand Senior Center, being a strategy to meet the city’s goal of supporting Moore’s elderly population. “ As a result of the 2,500 square foot expansion of the Brand Senior Center in 2014, there is a very nice new pool room featuring 4 pool tables. The expansion also included a new computer lab and a game room, as well as an expanded space for quilting and crafting.

Moore Council on Aging operates a transportation program for senior adults age 60 and older, with a bus equipped with a wheel chair lift. The bus is available for services within the city limits of Moore from 8:00 a.m. until 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. There is a suggested donation of $1.00 per round trip ride. Every week day the bus picks up folks to come to the center between

8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. The trip home is scheduled between 12:00 noon and 1:00 p.m. During the other times each day, the bus is available to help seniors with transportation to area banks, shopping, and doctor’s appointments within the City of Moore. Twenty four hour notice is required for all rides. Call 799-3130 to schedule a ride.

Aging Services, Inc. provides a lunch meal at 11:30 a.m. each day at the center to those who are at least 60 years of age or older and their spouse. The meal is offered at no charge, but there is a suggested donation of $2.25 per meal. The menu is printed each week in the Moore American. You need to reserve your meal the day before by calling 793-9069 before 1:00 p.m.

The Brand Center is always looking for volunteers to deliver meals to the homebound seniors in the City of Moore. The daily delivery routes take about one hour to run. Call 793-9069 if you can help.

If you are looking for a good time, the Brand Senior Center is the place to be. See you there!

Be Sure to Get Your Flu Shot

BY KATHLEEN WILSON, AGING SERVICES INC.

WHAT IS INFLUENZA (ALSO CALLED THE FLU)? The flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses that infect the nose, throat and lungs. It can cause mild to very severe illness.

WHAT ARE THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF FLU? Cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, and fatigue are all symptoms of the flu. Not everyone with the flu will have a fever.

HOW DOES FLU SPREAD? Most experts believe that flu viruses spread mainly by droplets made when people with the flu cough, sneeze or talk.

These droplets can land on people who are near the infected person. A person might also get flu by touching a surface or object that has flu virus on it and then touching their own mouth, eyes or nose.

WHAT IS THE TIME PERIOD OF CONTAGIOUSNESS? You may be able to pass on the flu to someone else before you even know you are sick. You may be able to infect others beginning one day before symptoms develop and up to five to seven days after becoming sick.

How serious is the flu? The flu is unpredictable, and how severe it is can vary depending on many things, including what flu viruses are spreading, how much flu vaccine is available, when the vaccine is available, how many people get vaccinated, and how well the flu vaccine is matched to the flu viruses that are causing the illness. Most people who get the flu feel much better in a week or two. But for older people, the flu can put them at very great risk of secondary infections such as pneumonia.

GET YOUR FLU SHOT. This is the first and most important step you can take in protecting against this serious disease. It takes about two weeks after the vaccination for antibodies to develop in the body and provide protection. If you have not received your flu shot this year, it is not too late.

Flu shots are available at your doctor’s office, health department, pharmacies and urgent care clinics. If you are a Medicare beneficiary, Part B should cover 100% of the costs of any flu shot.

There are a variety of flu shots available to seniors this flu season.

A number of different private sector vaccine manufacturers produce flu vaccines for use in the United States. This season both trivalent (three component) and quadrivalent (four component) flu vaccines will be available. Different routes of administration are available for flu vaccines, including intramuscular, intradermal and nasal vaccine. Talk to you healthcare provider about which option is best for you. This season: • Intramuscular (IM) vaccines will be available in both trivalent and quadrivalent formulations. High dose vaccines, which are IM vaccines, will all be trivalent this season. The trivalent (standard) flu shot has been around for 30 years or more. The quadrivalent flu shot has been available for the past few years.

• Nasal spray vaccines will all be quadrivalent this season.

• Intradermal vaccines will all be quadrivalent. This is a good option for those who do not like needles, and it uses a very small micro needle to inject the flu vaccine just under the skin rather than deeper in the muscle.

Seek medical advice quickly if you develop flu symptoms to see whether you might need medical evaluation or treatment with antiviral drugs. These drugs can make your illness milder and help you feel better faster. They also can help prevent more serious flu related complications.

Flu viruses are constantly changing, so it’s not unusual for new flu viruses to appear each year. You will need to get a flu shot every year to be protected.

If you have not already done so, please get your flu shot now so you will be protected this flu season.

The Return of the King

John M. Ireland Funeral Home

BY ROB MORRIS

It was 1966 and the graduating senior class of Moore High School wanted to do something special for their alma mater. Linda Howeth was a member of that class and remembers the plans she and her classmates made.

“We wanted to give something that was big and that would make a splash,” said Howeth.

That splash was a statue of the school’s beloved mascot, a lion, to act as a guardian and reminder to future students to carry on Moore High’s legacy and tradition.

“We purposely chose a lion that showcased ferocity,” said Howeth. “We didn’t want a cartoon-like figure. Instead, we wanted to show our fighting spirit.”

But that ferocity dimmed over the years; the teeth broke off and the color faded away. The old mascot was eventually auctioned off in the 1990’s. It was purchased by Charlie Cotton, a local businessman, who placed the statue in the hallways of the old Moore school building at 201 N. Broadway.

Last fall, MHS alum Mark Hamm stopped to give the once-regal mascot a good look and was compelled to do something about his time-worn appearance. He contacted the MHS Alumni Association and together they started making phone calls.

Hamm said, “So we did fundraisers through the Moore High School alumni association.

Past graduates gave the dollars to help us restore him to what he was, actually better than what he was.”

The teeth were restored in October of 2014, but the Lion alumni had bigger plans.

And so it came to be that at Moore High School’s 2015 homecoming assembly, the fullyrestored mascot was donated back to the school

by Cotton. The King returned to the cheers of a new generation of students, his royal makeover making him looking better than ever and ready to stand guard over future generations.

“The legacy will continue and Moore High School’s legacy is being written each year that

a high school class graduates, a senior class graduates,” said Hamm.

For those who have previously passed through the halls of the school, it’s an encouraging reminder of the good days in the past and better days to come. State Representative Mark McBride, who is also an MHS alum, is one of those who appreciates the work of Hamm, the MHS Alumni Association, and Charlie Cotton.

“I graduated from here in 1979 when he used to sit out by the front offices, and I just think it’s cool,” said McBride. “I know the kids, the young people here think it’s pretty cool, too.”

“We purposely chose a lion that showcased ferocity,” Linda Howeth

Moore and Southmoore High Schools Host Annual Speech and Debate Tournaments

BY BEVERLY FERREE

When the debate about the youth of today leaves some undecided about the future of our country, it is especially exciting to be reminded that there are some incredibly intelligent, very talented young people waiting in the wings. And that talent will be flooding the halls of Moore and Southmoore High Schools in November when speech and debate teams from around the state will be in Moore to compete at two of the biggest speech and debate tournaments in the state.

Moore High School’s sixth annual speech and debate tournament will be held on November 6th and 7th at Moore High School. Coach Ishmael Kissinger will be leading the charge as more than 20 schools and 300 plus students will be competing in 14 events centered on debate, public speaking and acting. Mr. Kissinger, or Coach K as his students call him, has been the speech and debate coach at Moore since 2007, when he grew the program from about 15 students to more than 115 today, with more than 50 students actively competing. Throughout his time at Moore, Kissinger has helped 15 of his students receive scholarships to compete for college debate teams, including teams at OU, UCO, Cameron University, the University of Texas San Antonio, Emory University in Georgia, Vasser University in New York, and Pacific Lutheran University in Washington. Kissinger’s students have qualified for regionals, state, and nationals, and he currently has one of the strongest teams in the state. He was also one of the coaches for Moore High School’s state champion mock trial team for 2015.

Southmoore High School’s third annual speech and debate tournament will be held on November 13th and 14th at Southmoore High School. Coach Lori Crawford will head that tournament, with 25 plus schools planning to attend and more than 300 students competing. Crawford has been teaching and coaching speech and debate for eight years. The Southmoore program has grown from 14 speech and debate students when she began coaching to 62 speech and debate students and 19 mock trial students today. Crawford has also qualified students for regionals, state, and nationals, and her mock trial team finished 3rd in the state for 2015.

Although Moore and Southmoore will be hosting the tournaments in November, all three of the Moore high schools compete in tournaments throughout the school year. To give you an idea of what the students do to prepare for these events, think about it in terms of hours spent weekly.

Take the debate teams, for example. This year’s resolution for policy debate is should the United States government substantially curtail its domestic surveillance. To prepare, most of the debaters spend their summers at debate camps, researching and preparing cases and briefs for their arguments. Other speech events require extensive outside research as well, and the acting events challenge the students’ abilities to interpret and memorize. When the school year begins, these kids average about 15-20 hours a week outside of class preparing and practicing to get ready for the tournaments. And most of the students compete in more than one event, some as many as three or four.

Each of the high schools attend approximately 10 tournaments a year, not counting the regional, state, and national competitions.

44 | MOORE MONTHLY | NOVEMBER 2015

And hosting a tournament is time beyond what they already commit to their programs. “We host these tournaments for a number of reasons,” said Kissinger. “We don’t have a budget for expenses, and competition costs money, travel costs money, and that doesn’t even include the supplies. Hosting the competition functions as a fundraiser. Beyond that, the students learn skills in organizing and running a large event. It takes a lot of time and dedication, and our students learn skills beyond what they will learn in the classroom. We may want to pull our hair out by the time the tournaments are over, but it’s all worth it in the end.”

So what motivates these coaches to dedicate so much of their time to these teams and competitions?

“Every time I teach the fundamentals of argumentation and performance, I learn something as well, which is really exciting,” said Crawford. “As an educator, I get to see the progression from first-time students who need guidance to make logical connections and be creative, to mature thinkers who can effectively communicate their ideas. Becoming lifelong learners, wellrounded critical thinkers, and effective communicators are the lessons we get in these programs that will serve students well no matter what they go on to do in life.”

Crawford explains how these programs impact students far after graduation.

“I love hearing from my alumni how the training they got from these programs is helping them in their college classes or careers,” said Crawford.

“Knowing that I had some small part to play in preparing them to be successful in their lives is the motivation for continuing to coach.”

With limited budgets for both schools, they can use all of the community donations they can get, specifically items that they can resell at the concession stands for their fundraisers, including pre-packaged candy bars, energy bars, individual bags of chips, bottled water, and sodas. And, of course, cash donations from both individuals and businesses would be greatly appreciated, as both schools must pay for competition fees, travel, and debate and speech camps throughout the year. Supplies are also in need, such as stopwatches and timers, legal pads, and pens. If you can make a donation, please drop off the items at the respective high schools.

Stay tuned for more announcements about the success of the teams throughout the year and for the dates for their spring showcases, when you can see these young adults in action.

City Swimmers Still Afloat

BY COLE POLAND

It’s been a long summer for the swimmers of Moore, Westmoore and Southmoore. The athletes found out last April their practice facility at the Oklahoma City Community College Aquatic Center was closing on Labor Day. They and just about everybody else in town have gone the last six months unsure of their future on the Lions, Jags, and Cats swim teams.

For a while, the future of the teams’ existence was unclear. How can the schools field teams if there is no place to practice?

Well, they’ve been thrown a life preserver. This season, swimmers are responsible for their own practices. Like with nearly every other sport, swimmers also swim outside of their school team, on club teams. Now, with no school practice, their club practice doubles in meaning. If a swimmer is not on a school team, he or she is responsible to practice on their own. Their final class of the school day was Athletics last year. This year, it’s history or biology or any other class.

Brent Long, the Westmoore head coach in previous years, is now the head coach over all three school teams. He has assistants at the other schools, as well.

As for meets, they’ll operate basically the same as they have been. Moore swimmers will swim for Moore and like wise for Westmoore and Southmoore. All teams will be transported to and from meets on school busses.

It’s not ideal. Coaches and swimmers are looking at it as more of a stopgap solution. Considering the circumstances, things have worked out fairly well.

“We’re keeping it alive,” Long said. “Hopefully, it will grow again and then in a couple of years, there will be a pool on the Southside.”

At this point, now that all the logistics of the season have been pretty much ironed out, the hardest thing for Long and his assistants is finding swimmers.

“It’s about half,” Long says of his swimmers for this year compared to last year. It’s a drop-off not wholly unexpected, simply because it’s no longer a class like football or basketball or any other sixth hour sport.

“Next year, I think we’re going to push to get it back in the school day so we can train the kids (in) sixth hour.”

Considering the circumstances, Long’s team is making the best of a difficult situation.

“I think they’re a little discouraged,” Long said, “but I also think they’re ready to go swim. They’re glad they still have a team… The ones that want to swim are just glad that they didn’t drop the program.”

Ask the Tax Guy! I got socked with a big tax bill this April for last year’s taxes. What can I do now to try to make sure it does not happen next April?

A Hoping you will stay on track with this column Reader Dear Hoping: They say hope springs eternal. Let’s give it the old college try.

It’s good that you are wanting to be proactive. You did not identify what caused you to owe so much extra than you were expecting, so I will have to be a bit generic here.

Did you get married last year and neither of you change your W-4s? The W-4 is that IRS form your employer has you fill out when you first get hired to decide what your income tax withholdings will be on your paychecks. I tell my clients to call me if they need help with their W-4s. Like the vast majority of accountants and tax preparers, I want to take care of my clients within my field of expertise.

A little pre-planning now can save headaches later, tax-wise.

Did you take a job that does not withhold taxes, a ‘1099’ job? Also known as ‘contract labor’, these jobs can give you a very unwelcome surprise come tax time.

The employer explains that you are not an employee. They withhold no taxes.

You give your paperwork to your tax preparer (or get Turbo Tax and input the information) and find out you owe federal and state income taxes and not only what would normally be the employee’s withheld Social Security and Medicare taxes, but the employer’s share also. Your employer is required to match your withheld Social Security and Medicare taxes, so that, along with federal and state unemployment taxes and Workman’s Comp insurance for the construction trades (or any job with a strong track record of producing work-related injuries) are the major reasons employers want to reclassify you from being an employee to contract labor. They are, in essence, shifting their costs to you.

Employers may try to sell you on being “self-employed,” but unless you are truly self-employed, you cannot deduct the expenses they are claiming you can.

Driving to and from the same work location every day is not business mileage; it is non-deductible commuting expenses. Even if that work location changes (as in construction trade), the next house/project becomes your work location and mileage to and from is not deductible. There is a lot of misinformation out there regarding contract labor and unsophisticated taxpayers can be pulled into situations that can overwhelm them tax-wise and otherwise. In any event, if you do have a job that is not withholding from your paycheck, you need to be paying quarterly estimated income taxes. Don’t let the fact that it says “income taxes” confuse you, the self-employment tax (employee’s and employer’s share of Social Security and Medicare taxes) is included in that term.

Most people are used to living on their take-home pay, the net paycheck.

As contract labor, your take-home pay will include the taxes you owe. These taxes can range from 30% to 45% of your weekly pay. That will leave quite a shock come next April.

Next month, we’ll address a few other generic items that may have caused you to owe a lot of money this past April.

Moore Entrepreneurs The employees on my small staff right now have great potential to grow into leadership positions within my company. What can I do to develop and retain them?

The first thing to recognize is that when employees join companies, they leave managers. To keep your employees engaged and help them grow into leadership positions, consider embracing and developing a “coach approach” to management in your organization.

Coaching is very powerful because it builds engagement, independence, accountability, ownership, growth and happiness for the employee. It also builds capacity for the manager and the organization by increasing employee competence.

The most powerfully motivating condition people experience at work is making progress at something that is personally meaningful. To help your employees make such progress, you must understand what drives each person, help build connections between each person’s work and the organization’s mission and strategic objectives, provide timely feedback, and help each person learn and grow on an ongoing basis.

Here are five tips to get you started in a “coach approach” style of management: • Listen deeply. Consider what it feels like when you’re trying to convey something important to a person who has many things on his mind and really is not present, then do the opposite. Focus on what your employee is saying. Ask a question like, “How would you like to grow this month or what would you like to focus on today?” Then listen to his answer with your full attention and an open heart. Create a connection that invites your team member to open up and think creatively.

• Ask, don’t tell. Open-ended questions are the tools of coaching as they allow your team members to articulate their goals and challenges and find their own answers. This is how people clarify their priorities, devise strategies that resonate with what they care about most, and increase the level of commitment to their work.

• Create and sustain a growth & developmental alliance with your team.

Supporting your team members’ developmental strategies and independence is essential. Instead of solving problems, encourage your team to bring you the problem along with a couple of their own solutions. Help them determine which solutions are viable and then give them the authorization, space and resources necessary to carry out the solution they choose. Soon their problem solving abilities, independence and confidence will strengthen dramatically.

• Focus on moving forward positively. Coaching conversations can degrade into frustration-venting sessions for an employee. While this might provide temporary relief, it doesn’t generate solutions. Take a moment to acknowledge your employee’s frustrations, but then redirect them in a positive direction. Ask opened ended questions to explore ways to solve the issue, remove the barriers. Successful coaching is future focused.

• Build accountability. In addition to making sure you follow through on any commitments you make to employees in coaching conversations, it’s also useful to build accountability for the employee. Before ending a coaching session, make sure you and the employee leave with the same takeaways, i.e. who is going to do what, by which date, etc. Ask them how they would like to hold themselves accountable for what they have articulated and then follow-up with them. Follow-up is critical to build trust and to make your coaching more effective.

City Ready For Wrestling

BY COLE POLAND

MOORE

Moore enters the new wrestling season with young talent all over the mat. They return a few past State qualifiers, all with expectations of getting back to the “Big House” and winning.

“I’m expecting myself to be a State champion,” senior Justin Gundlach said. “My coaches definitely expect me to go to State this year and place.”

The team has been putting in a lot of work in the wrestling room, looking forward to a big payoff.

“We’ve all been working hard,” Gundlach said. “I haven’t seen a kid (who’s) not been trying their hardest these past few weeks. That really makes me happy because I see myself as one of the leaders in the room.”

That senior leadership is filtering down to underclassmen, looking to get to the championship tournament for the first time. “(We’ve) been doing a lot of running, getting in shape,” junior Calvin Smith said. “We’re all together. Everybody works hard. If there’s somebody not working hard, we have to push each other.”

WESTMOORE

Westmoore’s wrestling team will feature two past State champions. Junior Canon Randall won last year and senior Dalton Duffield won in 2013.That’s a great foundation to build on for a Jaguar squad loaded with experience. They are a senior heavy team and return a handful of State qualifiers as well.

“We got a lot of our friends with a lot of talent on the team,” senior Deven Brewer said. “Hopefully, we can make a couple memories.”

It’s a new preseason feel for the Jags as they are now led by new head coach Kevin Casula. Casula, a Newcastle native, spent the last couple years coaching in Texas and his workout regimen is making the boys sweat.

“The practices have been long and intense,” Randall said. “We get done with the warmup and we’re drenched in sweat.”

The relationship is still fresh with Casula and his team but everybody seems to be falling in well.

“We’re really adjusting to him,” Brewer said. “Everything he’s bringing to the table, I feel like, as a team, we’re buying into and what he’s got going on.”

SOUTHMOORE

The Southmoore SaberCats wrestling team added a lot of new faces to their mats over the last offseason.

One of those being new assistant coach, Zac George.

“We got a lot of really good kids here,” George said.

“They work hard. They’re athletic. They have fun, and they’re enjoying wrestling. That’s the biggest part of it.”

With new and younger wrestlers as the core of the team, underclassmen have been asked to step up and set the example.

“We only have four people (who) were varsity last year,” sophomore Joe Reynolds said. “Now they’re the leaders.”

One of those new faces is junior Austin Hall, a firstyear SaberCat. “What stands out to me is that we’re actually playing like a family and not like a team,” Hall said. “We’re being together and not individuals.”

The team building and leadership has the coaches excited for the new season. But also, George is very encouraged by the focus and skill of his athletes.

“They listen,” George said. “There’s no bad habits, so that’s nice. It’s easier to teach a new student than it is to break a bunch of bad habits.

Softball Season Wraps At State

BY COLE POLAND

The softball season ended one game shy of the final game for both Moore and Southmoore.

Both teams, myself, and plenty more in town looked forward to a Battle of the Big Cats state title game, just like in 2013 when the SaberCats beat the Lions.

The Cats beat Broken Arrow, 7-3, in the first round but could only muster three hits in the game against Choctaw in the semifinals. Their season ended there with a 6-1 loss. The normally defensively sound Cats also committed 10 errors in their two games.

The Lions beat Muskogee quite handedly in the first round, 11-1. Pitcher Bailey McKittrick gave up only three hits in 10 innings over two games. Those three hits, though, were all home runs to Sand Springs in the semifinals.

The Lions’ season came to a close with a 5-3 loss.

Norman Regional and AT&T Launch Health Program for Moore Kids How much sugar is actually in a can of soda? Soon your kids will be able to tell you thanks to a new program called Kids are Special People. AT&T recently made a $10,000 donation to expand Norman Regional Health System’s program to Moore Public Schools. The check was presented at a celebration on Tuesday, October 6th at the Old School Business Center in Moore.

“I am a believer in community coming together to enhance the education of our students,” says Michelle McNear, Assistant Superintendent of Elementary Education for Moore Public Schools.

“This program is a perfect example of our community putting our kids first by helping them develop strong, healthy lifestyles.”

Through Kids are Special People students will explore topics including nutrition, tobacco cessation, emergency services and exercise. Seven elementary schools will begin the Kids are Special People program in fall of 2016 including:

Apple Creek, Brairwood, Central, Heritage Trails, Plaza Towers, Santa Fe and Wayland Bonds. The Norman Regional Auxiliary has been hosting Kids are Special People in Norman for more than 30 years and is excited to bring this program to fourth grade students at Moore Public Schools.

According to Richie Splitt, Chief Administrative Officer for Norman Regional Moore, “That’s our focus and our goal, to raise our children up so that we can then raise our communities and the health outcomes of our state. And we need that assistance. So our kids are going to help us. They’re going to raise us up. And we’re putting our trust in them, and this program is making it possible.”

So how much sugar is in a typical can of soda? While your kids will soon be able to tell you, we’ll give you a head start…about forty grams. That’s roughly the amount in three and a half Krispy Kreme doughnuts.

Favorite Animated Films

BY ROB MORRIS

So much has changed since Walt Disney’s “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” introduced full-length animation to the world way back in 1937. This month’s “Five Favorite List” tackles the task of narrowing down a whole lot of great animated films.

As always, the criteria for consideration is simple: Has a movie somehow impacted your life in such a way that you’ve watched the complete movie more than once?

If you come across the movie while channel-surfing, do you stop and watch all or part of it? Do you own the movie (dvd or digital)? And/or does the movie evoke significant emotions for you? Head over to TheMooreDaily.com or the Moore Monthly Facebook page to share your “Five Faves” and you could win a $50 gift certificate to the Warren Theatre.

Here are my top five films in the animation genre (not necessarily in order):

© PHOTO COURTESY OF DISNEY

ALADDIN (1992) Director: Ron Clements, John Musker Starring: Robin Williams, Scott Weinger, Linda Larkin, Gilbert Gottfried Best line: “To be my own master. Such a thing would be greater than all the magic and all the treasures in all the world! But what am I talking about? Let’s get real here, it’s not gonna happen. Genie, wake up and smell the hummus.”

Robin Williams’ exuberant vocal performance of the Genie in this retelling of the Arab folk-tale will always land a place on my list of rewatchable animated movies. It’s a joy watching the animators keep up with Williams’ classic improvisational style. Granted, a lot of the best lines were topical references to pop culture icons of the day…but it’s still a rollicking good magic carpet ride filled with some great Disney songs. The subtext of “be careful what you wish for” gives a little moral “ummph” to the story as well.

THE INCREDIBLES (2004) Director: Brad Bird Starring: Craig T. Nelson, Holly Hunter, Jason Lee, Samuel L. Jackson Best line: “No matter how many times you save the world, it always manages to get back in jeopardy again. Sometimes I just want it to stay saved! You know, for a little bit?”

The movie landscape is littered with superheroes these days. But Brad Bird entered the world of capes and superpowers with this jewel of a story about a family of “supers.” Bob and Helen are just a normal suburban couple trying to navigate the perils of raising a family while putting their past as Mr. Incredible and Elasta-Girl behind them. But the appearance of a new super-villain pulls the pair back into the superhero game, along with their kids, Olive and Dash, who are just discovering the limits of their own powers. It’s classic Bird: clever, action-packed, and full of in-timate relational moments.

Win a $50 gift certificate to the Warren Theatre!

Log on to TheMooreDaily.com or visit the Moore Monthly Facebook page and share your top five horror films with us. On November 30th we’ll choose one lucky winner at random and we’ll share your top five horror films on TheMooreDaily.com.

THE IRON GIANT (1999) Director: Brad Bird Starring: Jennifer Aniston, Harry Connick Jr., Vin Diesel Best line: “You’re made of metal, but you have feelings, and you think about things, and that means you have a soul. And souls don’t die.”

This is Brad Bird’s love letter of the monster and sci-fi B movies of the 1950’s. Bird is best-known for his work at Pixar and movies like The Incredibles and Ratatouille. But before he moved over to Pixar he delivered this emotional gem. An outcast youngster named Hogarth discovers a self-aware giant robot and helps the giant discover the meaning of life and friendship. There are those who try to read an “anti-gun” message into the movie, but in reality it’s a story about the choices we all make…and the consequences of those choices.

© PHOTO COURTESY OF PIXAR

TOY STORY (1995) Director: John Lasseter Starring: Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Don Rickles, Jim Varney, John Ratzenberger Best line: “This isn’t flying, this is falling with style!”

This was actually the first full-length computer-animated film and it opened the doors for the flood of 3D animation that followed. While the animation was ground-breaking, it was the scripts wit and poignancy that balanced nostalgia, childhood wonder, and misty-eyed adult humor. Toy Story set the standard that every kid’s movie (and let’s be honest…adult movie, too) aspires to reach.

WALLACE AND GROMIT: THE CURSE OF THE WERE-RABBIT (2005) Directed by: Nick Park Starring: Peter Saillis, Ralph Fiennes, Helena Bonham Carter Best Line: “This is absolutely... fantastic! Sure, we’ve created a veg-ravaging monster, but we have also captured it, just like we promised Lady Tottington.”

Clay-mation lives…and lives with excellence in the continuing adventures of Wallace and his dog, Gromit. The British “Wallace and Gromit” shorts are delights in and of themselves.

“A Grand Day Out” and “The Wrong Trousers” are worth tracking down for a quick looksee. “Were-Rabbit” was the first full-length release for Park and his Aardman Animation studio. The movie focuses on the lovable duo as they try to get to the bottom of a mysterious killer rabbit that’s been terrorizing their small town. The humor is classic Britsh, dry and pointed. The animation is flawless, proving that in a world of computer-generated images a little clay and stop-motion work can still enthrall.

Pumpkin Season is Here!

RUBY ASIF, UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA DIETETIC INTERN

Fall is officially here: football, crisp weather, changing colors, and most of all… pumpkins! It is finally pumpkin season and the reasons to celebrate are many.

Not only is fall’s signature squash perfect to decorate with this time of year, but it also packs some powerful health perks.

Here are 5 reasons to love pumpkins: • Loaded with vitamins and minerals to boost immunity • Filled with antioxidants to help fight cancer • Packed with vitamin A and beta carotene to support good eye health • Low calorie and high fiber content aids in weight loss • Rich in mood-enhancing tryptophan which helps you relax and unwind From bagels to sugary lattes, it seems you can get pretty much anything pumpkin flavored in the autumn months. Unfortunately, most of these pumpkin-inspired foods and drinks may not contain any pumpkin at all, just “pumpkin flavoring” and sugar.

Here are 5 healthy, delicious ways to enjoy pumpkin and reap all the health benefits: • Oatmeal: A perfect quick, fall breakfast for any day of the week.

• Add a little bit of canned pumpkin, maple syrup and a dash of pumpkin pie spice to your oatmeal to create a fall festive breakfast.

• Smoothie: It’s like liquid pumpkin pie… yum!

• Try blending pumpkin with fat free milk, frozen vanilla yogurt and some pumpkin pie spice for a tasty, nutritious treat.

• Soup: A delicious, healthy way to warm up on a chilly day!

• Whip up a creamy soup by sautéing onions and garlic, adding in broth, pumpkin, unsweetened coconut milk, and curry seasonings.

• Toasted pumpkin seeds: They make a great on the go snack!

• Sprinkle cumin, garlic and any other spices and roast the seeds in the oven until dry and crunchy.

• On its own: Pumpkin is incredibly delicious on its own and can be cooked/prepared a number of ways. Try a method that works best for you.

• You can bake it, boil it, roast it, or microwave it!

For nutritional counseling, Norman Regional Health System offers the guidance of registered dietitians.

Those interested can schedule an appointment for an assessment with a referral from their family physician.

Shop Moore

BY BEVERLY FERREE

Newest Moore Boutique Brings Affordable Fashion to Old Town

Moore’s newest clothing boutique is a very fashionable, affordable option for those looking for a rewarding shopping experience. HayVic’s, located at 111 West Main Street in Old Town, Moore, caters to the younger crowd about ages 20-30, but there are plenty of options for older age groups as well. And for moms who like the boutique experience, there is a line of clothing for young children.

For those of you who haven’t experienced the benefits of shopping in a boutique store, co-owner Victoria Ireland explains why you should give her store a try.

“We have great customer service,” says Ireland.

“And we try to keep our prices reasonable, so you’re getting good quality clothing that is fashionable and definitely at a good price for a boutique. Most of our clothing is below $50, and our shirts range from $20-$35. So you can get quite a bit of clothing for your money.”

In addition to fashion trends in clothing, HayVic’s also carries a line of Thunder, OU, and OSU shirts that range from $32 for short sleeved to $35 for long sleeved.

And to complete the outfit, there are some selections of shoes and accessories, including a new line of necklaces and bracelets for new moms.

HayVic’s • 111 W. Main St. • Moore, OK 73160 • 405-300-9060

“We also carry Chewbeads, which is the new thing for moms,” added Ireland. “The mom can wear them as a necklace and it’s the new chew toy for babies. We also carry the Chewbeads bracelets.”

They also have a line of lip color, called LipSense.

“It’s a healthy alternative to lip stain,” explained Ireland. “We sell the color and gloss, which when used together lasts anywhere from four to 18 hours.

It lasts through eating and drinking, and some of our clients even swim with it on. The only thing you have to touch up throughout the day is the lip gloss.

There are over 70 lip colors to choose from and 10 lip glosses.”

Ireland is no stranger to hard work; she learned from one of the best. Her father is Moore businessman John Ireland of John M. Ireland Funeral Home and Chapel, so it wasn’t a question for her to choose to start her business near her family.

“I love the city of Moore!” said Ireland. “I am very close to my dad, and I work well with my dad, and I wanted to stay close to our family’s business.”

Ireland co-owns HayVic’s with her younger sister, Haley Ireland, who is currently a freshman at Westmoore High School. The two sisters combined their names, Haley and Victoria, to come up with their store name, HayVic’s.

Ireland is a graduate of the University of Oklahoma, with a degree in human relations and a minor in communications, and is very excited to have her business in Old Town.

So as you’re deciding on how to spend your money the next time you are in need or in want of some fashionable, affordable clothing, Ireland would like to remind you to give HayVic’s a try. Ireland added, “You won’t be disappointed!”

Former Hometown and NFL Football Star Scores Big with Pie 5 Pizza Pie 5 Pizza • 750 SW 19th St Suite C • Moore, OK 73160 • 405-799-2801 When former professional football player Billy Bajema left the National Football League, he may not have known he would end up back in his hometown of Moore to start a new business. But when the opportunity arose, Bajema jumped at the chance. On September 4th of this year, the doors opened to Pie 5 Pizza, a new pizza concept in casual dining.

Pie 5 Pizza provides a unique alternative to other pizza restaurants, and Bajema felt it was the right time to bring the restaurant to Moore.

“Part of the reason is that it’s just a booming community, a great area, and an awesome spot for a new exciting concept,” explained Bajema. “And the fact that it is in Moore, my hometown and a place where I grew up and love, is just icing on the cake.”

The Pie 5 concept began in Dallas-Ft. Worth but quickly gained attention as one of the best franchise deals in the nation.

“It’s fast-casual dining,” said Bajema. “So it’s not a fast-food place, but it’s not a sit down restaurant either. It’s comparable to Pei Wei or Chipotle. You go through a line, and all of the choices and the toppings are right in front of you.”

You start with a decision about the crust, and there are four to choose from, including crispy Artesan thin, classic pan, whole grain thin and gluten-free.

Next you decide on one of seven sauces available: Tuscan marinara, spicy Sriracha marinara, bbq,

buffalo ranch, ranch, olive oil, and alfredo. Then pile on the cheese, the meats and the veggies to order.

And the price is hard to beat, $6.99 period.

Whether you have one topping or all 28, the cost remains $6.99, and everything is fresh. The glutenfree crust is the only exception, at only $2.00 more.

Pie 5 also offers salads, served in salad bowls made with the same crust as the crispy Artisan. And don’t leave without dessert, which is also made fresh daily at the restaurant.

The oven time takes only two minutes and five seconds, so from the time you order your pizza until you pay out at the cashier, your pizza is hot and ready to go.

So where did the unusual name come from?

“From start to finish, until the pizza is in your hands, it takes five minutes, and that’s where the name comes from,” explains Bajema. “It’s quick and always fresh and fast, and it’s entirely customizable.”

Can’t decide what to put on your pizza, then choose one of their creative choices from their menu.

Bajema was kind enough to let me sample from two of their best sellers, the Five Star, made on their classic pan crust with lots of meats, and the Athenian, made on the crispy Artisan thin crust. Both were extremely tasty. Pan crust can be hard to get right, but Pie 5 has figured it out. The crust is definitely a pan crust, but it is not so thick that it takes away from the

other ingredients. It’s a perfect balance. And it’s the same with the crispy Artisan crust.

You may remember Bajema from his football years at Westmoore. He then played for the OSU cowboys before moving on to the NFL, where he played tight end for nine years, four years for the San Francisco 49’ers and three for the St. Louis Rams, before finishing his career with the Super Bowl XLVII champion Baltimore Ravens.

But unless you know Bajema from his football glory days, you would not know he is a super bowl champion when you walk into Pie 5. He was cleaning up trash, with stains on his apron, without question doing what it takes to run a successful business.

Eating at the restaurant at the same time I was there was the Norman director of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Jeremy Tims, who shared his thoughts about Bajema’s new journey with the restaurant business.

“The pizza here is great,” said Tims. “But the person behind Pie 5, his integrity and character, is what is especially great.”

So far it’s a touchdown for Bajema. Whether you’re in a hurry or want to take your time, Pie 5 is a great option for quality pizza at a great price.

Moore @ Your Library Kid Book Review BUG IN A VACUUM Author: Mélanie Watt Publisher: Tundra Books Reviewer: Becky Feldman, Children’s Services Assistant, Moore Public Library

“Bug in a Vacuum” is a wonderfully simple, entertaining and captivating new picture book written and illustrated by Mélanie Watt that surprises the reader from the get-go.

The reader is immediately endeared by and has empathy with this big-eyed bug and dachshund. Both the bug and the dog’s toy have been sucked up by a canister vacuum, leading to the most intriguing pictures that range from a starry background, to a “mess of a life,” to the light at the end of the tunnel.

Watt’s unusual shading in her illustrations depict what is visible and unseen in the story. As the story travels through Elizabeth KüblerRoss’s Five Stages of Grief, dialogue from the bug changes immensely every few pages from “Could this be a surprise party?” to “Excuse me, you’ve vacuumed the WRONG BUG!” to “Everything will be OK,” and a few “stages” in between.

This book is geared toward children ages 5-9 and is a great children’s book on understanding that it’s okay to express different emotions. It would also make a great gift for a child or adult who has been through a loss.

If you like “Bug in a Vacuum,” check out Mélanie Watt’s bestselling “Scaredy Squirrel” series, “Chester” series, and “Augustine.” For more book recommendations, stop by the children’s desk at your local library or call (405)793-4347.

Adult Book Review FIRST LIGHT Author: Rebecca Stead Publisher: Yearling Reviewer: Shaye Caban, Information Services, Moore Public Library

“First Light” is Rebecca Stead’s debut novel in which she mixes realistic fiction with science fiction as she ties the stories of two young teenagers together.

Peter enjoys playing video games with his best friend, building radios, and hanging out in his neighborhood of New York City. His scientist parents are a bit eccentric, but very loving.

Thea has grown up on the shores of a lake inside a glacier. She has never seen the sun, moon, stars, or felt the wind. The secret community of Grace Hope was created many years before to protect her people from persecution for suspected witchcraft in England.

These two worlds are drawn together when Peter joins his parents on a trip to study global warming in Greenland. While Peter sets out to explore the icy landscape, Thea is below the surface wondering what is beyond Grace Hope.

I listened to “First Light” as a downloadable audiobook narrated

by David Ackroyd and Coleen Marlo. The two voices work well to distinguish between the chapters and give each character a defined voice. The novel is a bit slow in the beginning, but the pace picks up in the middle as both worlds are established and the characters’ paths move closer to each other. As a listener, I found the story engaging and did not want to stop the book. On more than one occasion, I said “I want to listen just a little longer.”

Overall, I enjoyed “First Light” and found the characters’ journeys satisfying. The audiobook version would be great for families with elementary or middle school children as it will interest all ages.

“First Light” by Rebecca Stead can be found in print and on CD at your hometown library or as a downloadable audiobook online at www.pioneerlibrarysystem.org/overdrive.

Holiday Movie Guide: The Return of the Return of the Jedi

© PHOTO COURTESY OF DISNEY

BY ROB MORRIS There are a whole mess of movies headed your way this holiday season. Here are four that just might be worth catching. Or avoiding, depending on your mindset.

THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGLY - PART 2 November 20 Starring: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutchinson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson The final chapter in the saga of Katniss Everdeen finds Jennifer Lawrence back in full bow-and-arrow mode for a showdown with President Snow and the Capitol. Fans of the teen-fiction trilogy already know how this ends, but that won’t keep them from flooding theaters to see it unfold.

Why it’s worth seeing: It’s as well-done as you’ll ever see a young adult novel or series done, and it just might wash away that nasty, lingering aftertaste left by The Twilight series.

Why it’s worth avoiding: C’mon, really?

There’s cause for concern anytime a studio turns three books into four movies to squeeze every last dime out of the target audience.

CREED November 27 Starring: Sylvester Stallone, Michael B. Jordan (Yet) Another final chapter in the saga of Rocky Balboa. Seriously, Rocky refuses to die in the same way that you can’t seem to bury the Terminator or Jason from the Friday the 13th movies. At least this time Stallone and filmmakers realize that you really can’t put Rocky back in the ring, unless maybe he’s battling Bernie Sanders. This time around, Rocky is training none other than the son of Apollo Creed.

Why it’s worth seeing: Nostalgia and affection for “that bum from da neighborhood.”

He’s been around since the 70’s, folks…and watching old-school Rocky bond with the Generation What-Letter-Are-We-On-Now progeny of his greatest rival should be fun.

Why it’s worth avoiding: Expect it to be a relatively formulaic buddy movie where the old master teaches valuable life lessons to the arrogant young punk while learning a few new tricks along the way.

STAR WARS: EPISODE VII THE FORCE AWAKENS December 18 Starring: Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Domhall Gleeson, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver If you’re one of those people who can’t see what all the fuss is about over the return of the Return of the Jedi, you need to put this magazine down and walk away. Right now. Go eat some gluten-free granola or do Crossfit or something. The rest of us…the MAJORITY of us…have been waiting for someone to come along and wash away the nightmare that was Episodes I through III of this beloved series.

Help, me J.J. Abrams…you’re our only hope for restoring the magic of the original Star Wars trilogy. Hopes are high for this one.

Why it’s worth seeing: Abrams paired with Ford, Hamill, and Fisher will make you believe in a galaxy far, far away again.

Why it’s worth avoiding: Because you’re a cynical and cold-hearted individual with no capacity to experience child-like wonder.

DADDY’S HOME December 25 Starring: Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg, Thomas Haden Church The odd-couple pairing of Ferrell and Wahlberg in 2010’s “The Other Guys” made for surprisingly great big-screen buddy chemistry, which naturally leads to another big-screen pairing. They’re not as good as Robert DeNiro and Charles Grodin in “Midnight Run” or Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte in “48 Hours,” but it’s still a pretty good cinematic Christmas gift to find under your tree.

Why it’s worth seeing: You’ve got Wahlberg enjoying a chance to make fun of his on-screen persona and Ferrell pulling unexpected comedic riffs out of his deranged mind. If you remember Wahlberg’s confusion at why beautiful women are unexplainably attracted to Ferrell in “The Other Guys”…or the startling revelation that Ferrell’s character was once a pimp named “Gator,” you know there’s hope to be found here.

Why it’s worth avoiding: Ferrell and Wahlberg are both dancing along the razor’s edge of becoming annoying on a level comparable to Adam Sandler movies.
