From the Editor Ahhhhhh, November. Thanksgiving’s just around the corner. And let’s be honest here…how many of us are going to be thankful once the election is over?

Fortunately, you’ll find plenty of good news inside November’s edition of the Moore Monthly. We had so much fun talking about the distant future last month that we decided to focus a little closer to home in this issue, taking a look at the potential impact of the 34th Street Bridge project. There are some exciting possibilities developing for

WinCo Brings Unique Supermarket Concept to Moore Shoppers in Moore are about to get another option when it comes to groceries. Construction of a new WinCo Foods store is underway at 19th Street and Fritts Boulevard.

While the name may not be familiar to many in this part of the country, shoppers in the west and northwest rave about the store.

Perhaps one of the most unique aspects of WinCo Foods is that it is an employee-owned company, which helps keep costs down. We

talked with a WinCo spokesperson who insisted that we not use names because everyone with the company is considered to be equally important to a great customer experience.

“We’re an employee-owned company,” said the WinCo spokesperson. “We all see ourselves as being on the same level as owners and so we don’t want to put anyone on a different level, even when talking about our business.”

12 | MOORE MONTHLY | NOVEMBER 2016

BY ROB MORRIS

Shared ownership is just one of the ways WinCo keeps costs down.

The WinCo spokesperson said, “it drives us to keep our costs as low as possible so that we don’t have to pass it on to the consumer and it also drives our customer service and drives every employee - from the clerk to the CEO - to do the best job possible.”

There are a couple of other things WinCo does that helps keep costs

down as well. One of those is that the store accepts only debit cards and cash.

“We don’t take credit cards because that’s an extra cost per transaction that has to be passed on to the customers,” said the spokesperson. “We take debit cards and cash and we want people to know that so that they’re not surprised by it.”

Another cost-saving concept — while WinCo employees are more than happy to help people bag their

groceries if they need help, you won’t find grocery baggers there.

suppliers. This includes general merchandise, produce, and meat.

“Our checkout lanes have two belts and a gate that swings one way or the other, so when somebody is checking out, the groceries go down one lane,” said the spokesperson. “When they’re done they can go down and bag their grocers. Then the gate swings and the next customer steps up.

It’s a pretty neat little system that allows that.”

“We’re building a distribution center in Denton, Texas and that center is not only serving our 9 stores in the Dallas area, it’s big enough that it’s going to serve 30 stores in the region and that’s great for Oklahoma,” said the spokesperson. But if you ever talk to someone who has shopped at a WinCo store you’ll almost certainly hear about the massive bulk foods section, which features hundreds of items to choose from.

Another big cost-saving area is that WinCo buys in very big quantities, dealing directly with

“We make a point of making it a

special feature in our stores, so if folks want a little candy or pasta or peanut butter powder or a whole lot of it, or they want some dried veggies for soups or snacking, we offer that right down to spices and dog treats,” said the WinCo spokesperson. “It’s all about offering variety and amounts that suit the customer at the lowest price.”

In addition to the variety of bulk foods offered, shoppers will also find values that are unique to their own geographical area.

is located and we believe this kind of attention to detail and response to customer needs creates greater brand loyalty.”

The store is projected to be open in 2017, but no specific date has been set.

The WinCo spokesperson said, “We reflect the tastes of the desires of the consumer where each store NOVEMBER 2016 | MOORE MONTHLY | 13

Southmoore Choir: Singing in the Face of Budget Woes

BY JAMISON KEEFOVER

CLARK BECKHAM, Former Sabercat and American Idol Contestant

This past June, the State Board of Education approved $38.2 million in mandated cuts to school activities. Out of 28 programs, eleven had their budget eliminated and thirteen had their funding reduced. Southmoore High school choir was one of the eleven.

State superintendent, Joy Hofmeister, acknowledged these cuts by saying, “we have made every effort to spare as much as we can in light of the significant size of this mandated cut, and we cer-tainly recognize the importance of these fine programs.”

The Southmoore choir has annual fundraising events including singing Valentine grams, baked goods sales, and more but this year they are relying on those events to keep their program run-ning.

Dr. Linda Jones, the Southmoore choir director, says after forty years of teaching she has never experienced budget cuts like this before. She says that they are able to keep going with the support of the parent booster club.

16 | MOORE MONTHLY | NOVEMBER 2016

“Right now they [the parent booster club] are buying all my music since I have no budget," said Jones. "This is our school’s eighth year so my library is very limited and I don’t want to repeat anything while kids are here. There is too much great literature out there and repeating music is not teaching what I should be teaching them. It costs around a thousand dollars to put on one concert and we usually have four each year so they are buying that music.”

The vice president of the Southmoore choir parent booster club, Lori Higgins, says the choir is very talented, hardworking, and dedicated.

“Music is an utmost important part of their brain development, it helps them to be good stu-dents," said Higgins. "Personally, my oldest son is a music major and my senior is planning to be a high school choir director.“

Due to the lack of funding, there was a mandatory activity fee put into place for each student in the choir.

“I’ve never had to add an activity fee before because I never wanted a fee to keep a child from being able to sing, but we didn’t have a choice because we didn’t have enough money to keep our accompanist if we didn’t it”, said Higgins. “Half of their activity fee goes towards paying for extra hours for our accompanist to be here and rehearse, which he does a lot for us. Also, it ena-bles us to pay for buses.“ In addition to these expenses, a student’s uniform for choir competitions cost up to a hundred dollars or more. This year they have to pay for uniforms individually.

Dr. Jones says her program is not an isolated situation because several programs are trying to handle similar issues. The principal of Southmoore high school, Danny Reed, normally finds funds to pay for students who qualify for All-State competitions, costing around seventy-five dollars a student, but with the loss of funding he is unable to do that this school year so students will pay that fee individually as well.

“Our principal normally has about $104,000 to run the whole building but this year he only re-ceived $18,000," said Jones. "So that’s simply paper, toner, printer ink, and that’s it. He can’t afford to do anything else.”

To help with funding the choir, with the help of Dr. Jones and the booster club, have scheduled a concert with Clark Beckham, runner-up on season 14 of American Idol on Fox. Beckham is from Nashville, Tennessee but has spent much of his life in Oklahoma visiting family. Beckham says he has family from Tulsa and Norman and has visited every year since he was born.

“I would trust Chuck and Wendy with my dogs anytime anywhere... No one cares for dogs like they do! There are just outstanding people!”

Reserve now for the holidays!

“Back to the early, early 1800’s I had family that were cowboys in Oklahoma," said Beckham. "I was born in Nashville but as far as blood and heritage I’m about as Oklahoman as you can get”,

1703 N Bryant Moore, OK 73160

Beckham thinks music for high school students is not only scientifically beneficial but it can help someone who doesn’t know they have a musical ability find it.

793-PAWS (7297)

Beckham's personal experience with music is something he says he inherited who sang and played with the Righteous Brothers, Dolly Parton, and other major musical acts.

"My father grew up his whole life not even knowing he could sing," said Beckham. "He actually saw the Beatles for the first time when he was seventeen, started pursuing music, and then real-ized that he could sing. So choir is a way for people to discover gifts that they might otherwise not have discovered.”

The concert will feature the Southmoore jazz band as the opening act, followed by Beckham, who will perform a full concert featuring some of the new songs that he has been recording for his new album, along with some classics. To finish the show, the Southmoore choir will join Beckham on stage for one song.

“I’ll be going to the school, having a rehearsal and working with them, and then the next day whenever the show is we’ll actually have a song at the end that we will all sing together which I’m really excited about.”

The concert will be held Saturday, November 5th at 7 p.m. at Randall University at 3701 S. Frontage Road in Moore. Doors open at 6 p.m. and you can buy tickets at Ticketstorm.com or from a Southmoore choir student.

NBA All Star Brings Heart Healthy Message to Oklahoma

BY ROB MORRIS

18 | MOORE MONTHLY | NOVEMBER 2016

Although Detlef Schrempf’s career came to a close a few years before the Seattle Supersonics moved to Oklahoma City and became the Thunder, local NBA fans have no trouble remembering the former NBA All Star and Sixth Man of the Year. What may surprise professional basketball fans is how much attention Schrempf paid to eating healthy during his athletic career, a shrewd move which helped him stay at the top of his game in a grueling sport that can break even the strongest body down.

Schrempf says the focus on healthy habits led him to explore seafood as a source of lean protein when he was traded from the Indianapolis Pacers to Seattle. What he learned about seafood as a heart healthy source of protein led him to become involved with Seafood Nutrition Partnership, an organization that is working to help raise awareness about the essential nutritional benefits of eating seafood.

“It gives me a platform to hopefully impact lives,” said Schrempf. “As you know, we’re not the healthiest country in the world. Matter of fact, we’re the most obese country in the world.”

Even as an elite athlete, Schrempf quickly came to understand the necessity of fueling his body with healthy protein in order to play at peak levels during his NBA career.

“That was the time that I really learned the benefits of a different diet than we’re used to down here,” said Schrempf. “I didn’t grow up with seafood, but when I moved back to Seattle I was surrounded by it and realized that I really loved it.”

Schrempf said that while professional athletes are required to perform at an elite level, some of them don’t take good care of their bodies.

“I still see a lot of players doing the same things they’ve always done: they go through the drive-thru or grab a hot dog at the arena before a game,” said Schrempf. “I’ve told players over the years, you can do that and get away with it when you’re 27 or 28, but if you continue to do that when you’re over 30 you’re going to break down and you’ll be out of the league before you know it.”

school and college career to get a handle on his eating habits off the court. That’s important even for professional athletes who are burning around 7,000 calories a day and feel like they can eat whatever they want.

“There were all-stars who had bad habits and it cost them,” said Schrempf. “I still see all-stars now who are young and still go through drivethrus before games, but they’re young and if they don’t change their habits they’re going to shorten their careers.”

Although Schrempf has retired, he and his family still focus on eating healthy, which includes a lot of seafood in his diet.

“I love to barbecue and grill some salmon or tuna,” said Schrempf, “We also cook a lot of pastas with seafood.”

Having begun his professional career with the Dallas Mavericks in the mid-80’s, Schrempf has a great deal of fondness for this part of the country.

“If Dallas had never traded me I’d be a trueblue cowboy,” said Schrempf. “I love country music. I love the big roads and the big trucks.”

But the one thing he would change about Oklahoma and the surrounding states is to help people take simple steps like embracing the Healthy Heart Pledge, eating seafood two times a week as a way to get healthy.

“For a lot of people it’s difficult to make that transition,” said Schrempf. “But the studies are out there and it’s proven that if you’ll just make seafood a part of your diet just two times a week, it can make a huge difference in your life.”

SKETCHES OF MOORE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

BY L.T. HADLEY

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

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

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

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

His blacksmithing abilities were a definite

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

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

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 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 citizeninput 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. “

28 | MOORE MONTHLY | NOVEMBER 2016

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!

Beware of Health Scams

BY KATHLEEN WILSON, DIRECTOR OF AGING SERVICES INC.

Health scams and the marketing of unproven cures have been around for a long, long time. In our world today, there are more and more ways to sell these untested products.

Sadly, older people are too often the target of such scams.

Why do people fall for these sales pitches? Unproven remedies promise false hope. They offer cures that appear to be painless and/or quick when in reality the treatment is worthless. Health scams prey on people who are frightened and/or in pain. Living with a chronic health problem is hard. It is easy to see why people might fall for a false promise of a quick and painless cure. The best way for scientists to find out if a treatment works is through a clinical trial.

A clinical trial is a research study that tests how well new medical approaches work in people.

Health scams usually target diseases that have no cures,such as diabetes, arthritis and Alzheimer’s disease. Here is list of common scams: • Anti-Aging Medications • Arthritis Remedies • Cancer Cures • Memory Aids Another common scam is designed to target people who are unable to get health insurance. Companies offer coverage that promises more than can be delivered. When you think about buying health insurance, remember to find out if the company and agent are licensed to be do business in the state of Oklahoma. This is very important!

Find out about a product before you buy. Don’t let a salesperson talk you into making a snap decision. Check with your healthcare provider first. Remember the old stories of the snake oil salesman who traveled from town to town making wild claims about their fabulous product. Chances are that today’s scam artists are using these same sales tricks.

Look for red flags in ads or promotional materials such as: • Promise of a quick or painless cure • The product is made from a special, secret or ancient formula • Offer products and services only by mail or from one company • Unproven case history from satisfied customers • Claim to be a cure for a wide range of ailments • Claim to cure a disease such as arthritis or Alzheimer’s • Promise a no-risk, money back guarantee • Offer an additional “free” gift or a larger amount of the product due to a “special promotion” • Require advance payment and claim there is a limited supply Two federal government agencies work to protect you from health scams. The Federal Trade Commission (1877-382-4357/www.ftc.gov) can help you spot fraud. The Food and Drug Administration (1-888-463-6332/www. fda/gov) protects the public by assuring the safety of prescription drugs, biological products, medical devices, food, and cosmetics.

The Better Business Bureau (1-703-276-0100 www.us.bbb.org) can also help with background information on companies and complaints filed against a company or a product.

If you have a question about a medical product, talk to your doctor. Getting the facts about healthcare products can help protect you from health scams.

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

This is a serious problem. Untested remedies may be harmful. They can also get in the way of the medicines that your doctor has prescribed. Most of the time, they are simply a waste of money. But sometimes, using these products keeps people from getting the medical treatment that they actually need.

What can you do to protect yourself from these scams?

First of all, be wary. Question what you see or hear in ads or on the Internet, in newspapers and magazines, and on the radio or TV. Most of these sources do not check to make sure the claims in their ads are true.

Moore's Assisted Living Community

You see the ads on TV and the Internet these days for all sorts of “Miracle” cures. There is still plenty of truth to that old saying, “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!”

Moore Funeral Home Feels “The Call”

BY DONNA WALKER

Working in the funeral industry is not necessarily a “dream job” to most, but rather “a calling”. For Tena Perez and the professionals serving alongside her at Moore Funeral and Cremation, caring for families during their darkest hour is their passion.

“The reward we receive happens when families express their appreciation and share how we made their difficult journey somewhat easier for them to take”, said Perez.

Some may think that once the funeral service is over, the funeral home’s job is complete. Today’s funeral homes offer services that begin well before the funeral service and may continue for years. From pre-planning to grief support groups, the owners of Moore Funeral and Cremation work to assist families with all these needs and more.

“We are always available to our families for as long as they need us and we are grateful for the many longlasting relationships we have forged with them,” said Perez. “We're here to help you come to the decisions that

will meet your needs now and in the future.”

Pre-planning and pre-paid services are important services offered by funeral homes. Moore Funeral and Cremation goes a step beyond with their onsite Cremation and Burial Learning Center. The center offers a chance for families to learn the value of the many different options available for both burial and cremation and also offers information on The Talk of a Lifetime™, which is very helpful to those wishing to discuss pre-planning with their loved ones.

“With our Learning Center, we continuously strive to educate our families about their options. Our staff believes in the value of our services offered to each family.” Moore Funeral and Cremation will also honor existing pre-arranged policies from other funeral homes.

When planning a Celebration of Life for a loved one, Perez says to focus on the life lived and to create a service that reflects and honors the individual. The design of a funeral or memorial service

38 | MOORE MONTHLY | NOVEMBER 2016

is limited only by the imagination.

While some people may find comfort in tradition, others may find solace in a relaxed, intimate family gathering.

There are many possibilities to explore.

Perez has helped families create some highly creative services to honor their loved ones. From bringing in displays of saddles, bales of hay, and cowboy attire for horse-loving loved ones, Harley-Davidsons for motorcycle enthusiasts, fishing poles, canoes and kayaks for the fishermen, and pearls, hats, and tea cups for the ladies, Moore Funeral and Cremation takes pride in creating custom experiences for each individual.

“You can have your service literally anywhere and in any way you want.

Our staff offers a combined 50 years of expertise in serving families and can help create the most suitable and memorable service to honor your loved one.” Since 2012, Moore Funeral and Cremation has offered the families of Moore and the surrounding area with a variety of options at a price they can afford to create the service they have envisioned. Located at 400 SE

LOCAL

19th Street, the beautiful, freestanding facility includes a learning center, a large chapel, private viewing rooms and ample parking. The nicely appointed gathering areas also provide a great location for hosting community functions.

One such event is the Annual Christmas Memorial Service to be held Thursday, December 8th at 7 p.m. This candle lighting service is for all of the families that were served by Moore Funeral and Cremation. Holidays are always the hardest, especially the first ones after a major loss. This offers our families a time to gather together and celebrate their loved one during the holiday season. Fellowship and refreshments will follow the service.

The community is also invited to attend Breakfast with Santa and Mrs. Claus at Moore Funeral and Cremation on Saturday, December 17 from 8:30 am to 11:00 am. Donuts and milk are on the menu and there will be a photographer to take pictures with Santa. For more info about Moore Funeral Home and Cremation, visit moorefuneralcremation.com.

Fun and fitness in a family atmosphere!

Moore Entrepreneurs They say cash is king. If that’s true, how can I improve cash flow for my business?

Cash flow is, indeed, the lifeblood and oxygen that keeps a growing business alive!

Profit does not equal cash flow. You can't just look at your profit and loss statement (P&L) and get a grip on your cash flow. Many other financial figures feed into factoring your cash flow, including accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable, capital expenditures, and debt service. Smart cash flow management requires a laser focus on each of these drivers of cash, in addition to your profit and loss.

Growing your business puts a huge strain on cash. You almost always have to make investments and take on certain expenses ahead of achieving the higher revenue and cash flow that comes with successful growth. Most business owners see growth as the solution to a cash-flow problem. That's why they often achieve their goal of growing the business only to find they have increased their cash-flow problems in the process.

Some steps to manage and improve cash flow:

your taxes and assuming that you have nothing drawn on your line of credit.

1) Determine your breakeven point.

You should know when your business will become profitable, not because it will affect your cash flow -- because it won't -- but because it gives you an early goal to strive for and a ready-made target for projecting future cash flow.

5) Decrease cycle conversion time the time it takes to complete a customer transaction from initial customer interest to delivery of services and goods to final payment: a) Invoice your clients in a timely manner. Consider making invoices “due immediately” or limit the use of net terms longer than 15 days. Offer discounts for early payment. Use mobile payment solutions that enable credit and debit card payments from a mobile device in order to be paid on the spot. b) Tighten credit requirements.

Obtain a Dun & Bradstreet report on potential customers and ask them to fill out a credit application, check references. Maintain and review your accounts receivable aging report and address overdue accounts. c) Work with suppliers and vendors to get the best deal you can and negotiate extend payment terms to 60 days whenever possible. d) Eliminate mistakes. Customers are slow to pay when they receive incomplete orders, experience invoicing errors, when a transaction is dragged down by missed deadlines, and other avoidable errors.

2) Keep your eye on cash flow management. While that may sound like a contradiction to my first point, it’s far from it. You look at your profit and breakeven point in order to set benchmarks, but you still need to maintain focus on cash flow and spending. That doesn’t change just because you cross over into profitability.

3) Get a business line of credit before you need one. A business line of credit for emergencies, seasonal needs, etc. is a good insurance policy against cash flow problems. However, a line of credit does not cure the problems creating the cash flow issues. Those still need to be addressed quickly.

4) Build and maintain a cash reserve of two to three months of normal operating expenses in cash. This is after you have set aside money to pay

6) Hire the right people so they can be successful at work and keep sales robust.

7) Lease equipment instead of buying it so you can have access to the latest features and avoid tying up cash.

Lease costs can still be expensed on business taxes.

8) Monitor your cash flow regularly.

Online accounting software such as QuickBooks Online makes it simple to reconcile your accounts, generate reports and more. Because your information is secure in the cloud, you can easily stay on top of your cash flow wherever you are.

Forecast your cash requirements, monitor cash flow with timely online reports, execute proven cash flow techniques and make needed corrections, so that your business and cash flow can grow in harmony.

HOLIDAY MOVIE PREVIEW: STRANGE AND TRUE STORIES ARE HEADED YOUR WAY

BY ROB MORRIS

The holiday movie season is typical a wonderful mix of blockbusters, animated delights, and dramatic Oscar-hopefuls. The 2016 end-of-the-year offerings are smack dab in the middle of those expectations and looking over the line-up there’s every reason for movie fans to be optimistic. A bit of a caveat before we begin: if you notice the absence of gross-out-comedy and horror films in this year’s preview, that’s intentional. Print space is too valuable and I just have a hard time talking about movies I have

absolutely no intention of seeing (I’m looking right at you, Bad Santa 2). I’m not suggesting that you shouldn’t see them, I’m just acknowledging the fact that you’ve made peace with waking up on Christmas morning to find coal in your stocking, you heathen, you!

Ok. Enough cinematic moralizing. On with the preview (in chronological order):

DOCTOR STRANGE Directed by: Scott Derrickson Starring: Bernard Cumberbatch, Chiwetel Ejiofer, Rachel McAdams, Benedict Wong The Marvel Universe gets Strange…and that’s a great thing! The Dr. Strange comics were among the trippiest comics I remember growing up with. Filled with remarkably twisted and colorful artwork, the stories themselves were this mind-bending mix of super-powers and the supernatural. You can’t go wrong with Bernard Cumberbatch in the lead role and the trailers look like Scott Derrickson and his crew have managed to translate the weirdness of the comic into CGI visual magic.

Opens: November 4 Level of Interest: +10 Thoughts: Yeah, I’m a geeked-out comic book movie fan, so there’s no way I’m missin’ this one!

HACKSAW RIDGE Directed by: Mel Gibson Starring: Andrew Garfield, Teresa Palmer, Hugo Weaving, Sam Worthington Mel Gibson is back after being Hollywood’s bizarre exile jail for about a decade (short summary: he got drunk, said some nasty things, Hollywood predictably overreacted in mock horror while ignoring much worse behavior from others). The early reviews on this one are singing his praises as a filmmaker. The film is based on the true story of WWII Army Medic Desmond Doss who refused to carry a gun or fight, but still managed to become the first Conscientious Objector in American history to be awarded the Medal of Honor.

Opens: November 4 Level of Interest: +10 Thoughts: Mel can direct and the story is absolutely fascinating. Must see

52 | MOORE MONTHLY | NOVEMBER 2016

ARRIVAL Directed by: Denis Villeneuve Starring: Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, Forest Whitaker, Michael Stuhlgang The premise is pretty simple, but intriguing: aliens land on earth and attempt to communicate. A linguist is called in to not just bridge the communication gap, but to help determine if their intentions are friendly or hostile. The trailers present a story that’s more than a simple sci-fi thriller, weaving questions about today’s emotionally charged political landscape into the dramatic storyline.

Opens: November 11 Level of Interest: +7 Thoughts: The mood in this one looks spot on, especially when the various military powers around the world start ramping up the angst.

FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM Directed by: David Yates Starring: Eddie Redmayne, Ezra Miller, Colin Farrell, Zoe Kravitz The pressure is on with the latest offering from the Harry Potter universe. The young wizard’s story is done and that means Warner Brothers REALLY needs to find a way to extend the Potterverse and keep the bucks rolling in. If David Yates and company can pull off the impressive magic trick of turning a book from inside the Potter stories into it’s own movie, then the WB studio can breathe a sigh of relief and J.K. Rowling can crank out another series of books. Of course all Harry Potter fans care about is a story that captures the whimsical drama of the original series.

Opens: November 18 Level of Interest: +5 Thoughts: I admit to having mixed feelings on this. On the one hand I loved the Harry Potter series…but I’m also a bit cynical that this is just a big-time money grab and will end up diminishing the great work that’s come before it.

ALLIED Directed by: Robert Zemeckis Starring: Brad Pitt, Marion Cotillard, Jared Harris, Daniel Betts OK, let’s just be honest here. The eerie parallels between the filming of “Mr. and Mrs. Smith”/Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston break-up and “Allied”/Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie break-up are kinda freaky. In “Smith” the co-stars played a pair of spies with jobs that put terrible pressure on their marriage. In “Allied” the co-stars play WWII assassins with jobs that put terrible pressure on their marriage. If Pitt ends up married to Cotillard, the gossip shows and websites are going to implode!

Opens: November 25 Level of Interest: meh The Hollywood sideshow is threatening to drag this movie into the realm of, “let’s skip this.”

LA LA LAND Directed by: Damien Chapelle Starring: Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Amiee Conn, Terry Walters If you haven’t seen Damien Chapelle’s first directorial effort, “Whiplash”, stop what you’re doing right now and go see it. It is riveting. And that alone is enough to put “La La Land” at the top of my holiday movie list. While both “Whiplash” and “La La Land” revolve around jazz, the tone of the two stories looks to be vastly different. The first movie is a painful-to-watch drama while this new offering dances lightly through the romantic comedy realm. Lots and lots of Oscar buzz floating with it, too.

Opens: December 2 Level of Interest: +10 Thoughts: Gosling and Stone have already shown they have sparks in “Crazy, Stupid Love”, so with Chapelle directing this looks fantastic.

ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY Directed by: Gareth Edwards Starring: Felicity Jones, Mads Mikkelsen, Ben Mendehsohn, Riz Ahmed I have some friends that are gettin’ all uppity about this latest round of Star Wars movies, suggesting that they’re somehow “beneath the dignity” of the original trilogy or derivative in their storylines. If you’re one of those folks who are feeling snooty, let me just give you three words: Jar Jar Binks. What we’re getting under the steady hand of J.J. Abrams is light years better than Episodes 1-through-3. Besides, this story of the band of rebels who stole the plans to the original Death Star (leading to the very first Star Wars story) gives us a chance to meet a mostly new set of characters, expanding the Star Wars universe in a major way. Plus, we get to spend a little more time with one of the original trilogy’s most under-appreciated characters: Wedge Antilles Opens: December 16 Level of Interest: +10 Thoughts: I’m always up for a return visit to that galaxy far, far away.

All the Right Moves: Westmoore Student Dominating Chess World

BY REBEKAH YORK The chess world has long been dominated by distinguished fellows in tweed jackets and thick-rimmed glasses, but one of Oklahoma’s top-rated chess players is still in high school—and Veronika Zilajeva is no fellow.

Her opponents don’t phase her, regardless of gender, age or skill, because she thrives behind this puzzle waiting to be solved.

Zilajeva is Oklahoma’s highest ranked female chess student, yet her quiet confidence wouldn’t give that away at first glance.

Zilajeva came to Oklahoma in 2013 with her family from Latvia.

She’s been playing chess for 10 years. Her passion for the game started quite simply — out of her competitiveness with a friend.

“If she was winning I couldn’t lose either,” Zilajeva said. “After you get better and better you realize that if you practice you can get better results.”

Zilajeva attends Westmoore High School and represents them in chess tournaments, but they don’t have a chess club of their own. Zilajeva meets with OU Chess Club every Monday to improve her skills and practice for upcoming tournaments.

The Westmoore High School junior has attained a chess tournament rating above 2000, placing her in the top five percent of active players nationwide and earning her an Expert designation from the U.S. Chess Federation. Not only that, Zilajeva was inducted into the Oklahoma Scholastic Chess (OSCO) Hall of Fame at a tournament in Midwest City recently.

“I like playing guys,” Zilajeva said. “When I play a woman, it feels like she’s my teammate.

A guy is like the opposite team and for me, that means more motivation to win.”

“I like it because it’s a challenge,” Zilajeva said. “It’s a little puzzle that you have to solve, every position basically, and to overcome and solve the position gives you selfsatisfaction and makes you feel good about yourself.”

“Sometimes you have to sit and wait until your opponent makes a mistake so you can win, and if you overplay you’re going to end up losing so you have to have patience,” Zilajeva said.

Zilajeva has represented Oklahoma two years in a row at the prestigious National Girls’ and Susan Polgar Foundation Girls’ invitational tournaments, but her success is anything but limited to all girls’ events.

She regularly competes in the elite divisions at open tournaments where most of her opponents are not only adults, but men as well. She placed first in one such event this summer.

The male-dominated world of chess hasn’t shaken Zilajeva, in fact, she prefers playing men.

56 | MOORE MONTHLY | NOVEMBER 2016

Zilajeva wants more girls to follow in her steps. According to Zilajeva, patience is one of the most important qualities of a good chess player.

For Zilajeva, chess offers so much more than satisfaction for solving the puzzle. She’s grown a lot as a player throughout the years, but so many of these lessons apply to the real world as well as the chess world.

“Chess will help you in everything,” Zilajeva said. “It will help your mind grow and help you think ahead a couple steps.

Whenever you play a game, no matter what position you’re in you have to keep a straight face and keep your emotions in control because your opponent will see it.”

Zilajeva also plays basketball and is considering pursuing an engineering degree when she goes to college, where she hopes to keep playing chess. She dreams of a day when chess is just as popular as basketball.

Sabercats Bring Home Second Fast Pitch Title

BY ROB MORRIS

The Southmoore Lady Sabercats set the bar high for themselves this fall. From the very beginning of the season they made it clear that they would be satisfied with nothing short of an OSSAA 6A fast pitch state championship. The team delivered in the biggest way possible, winning their last 26 games on their way to a 6-4 victory over crosstown-rival Moore to claim the crown.

Senior catcher Trenity Edwards said this win is really special.

“Winning it with this group, I can definitely say I won this 6A state championship with my sisters,” said Edwards. “I will never have another team like these girls and I won’t ever be as close to another team as with these girls.”

Teammate Sydney Sherrill said she shares that feeling of closeness and elation.

“This has been the best team I’ve ever played on,” said Sherrill. “We click so well, all of us. There’s no drama, we just really enjoy playing the game, having fun and doing what we love all together.”

Head coach Jeff Small said this team is special, but in Oklahoma, which is known

for producing some of the best high school softball teams in the nation, it takes more than warm and fuzzy feelings of team closeness to win a state crown.

Small noted that this edition of the Lady Sabercats is loaded with talent and a desire to win.

“They had a desire to win and they’ve got the talent,” said Small, “but they’ve got that talent because they put a lot of work in and worked hard to make themselves into the athletes capable of doing the things they do and having the success that they had.”

Expectations have been high for this particular team after they won Southmoore’s first fast pitch state title in 2013. In 2014 and 2015 the Lady Sabercats were knocked out of the state tourney in the semi-finals, both times losing to the eventual state champion.

Those losses made the players more determined than ever.

“Our motto for the last few years has been ‘focus on the next pitch’ and we really put that into practice this year because we knew that we couldn’t take any team lightly,” said Sherrill. “This was

our last year and our last chance to do this, so we worked so hard for it.”

13-1 in 2014, 13-1 in 2015, and 14-0 in 2016.

That focus showed as the team kicked off that epic 26-game winning streak in August.

While many of the players will be going on to play collegiate ball, Small said this team’s character goes far beyond on-thefield talent.

Edwards said, “To be that focused and win that many games in a row, not losing a game since August 20th, that just says a lot about our character as a team, not as one individual player.”

Coach Small said that this talented team has rolled up some remarkable accomplishments over the past four years.

“This group of seniors have done some pretty spectacular things,” said Small. “It’s just been enjoyable watching them plan and make plays that I’ve never seen high school kids make.”

In addition to two 6A fast pitch state championships, this group of seniors has run up an overall won-lost record of 137and-5. Over that four-year stretch the team lost only two district games while playing in one of the toughest softball districts in the state, going 14-0 in 2013,

“I’m really proud of the young ladies and expect them to do a lot of good things in the future, on the softball field and as human beings,” said Small.

For Sherrill and Edwards, who will play their collegiate ball at Florida State and Missouri respectively, the wins and trophies are great, but the real joy has been the shared journey with close friends.

“We’ve become friends outside of the softball field and hang out a lot,” said Sherrill. “It’s a really tight group and that’s why it was so awesome when we won.”

Edwards said, “To do this with them right by your side is the best feeling in the world because you can look to your left and look to your right and know that these are my sisters that I just won a ring with. So, it’s pretty awesome.”
