Speaker 1: Good morning, good morning, good morning, and welcome, welcome, welcome.
0:03
Speaker 1: It is time now for Car Talk with Brand Dundas
0:06
Speaker 1: right here on K one, the one you trust in
0:10
Speaker 1: a good Thursday morning to all break sunshiny skies. And
0:13
Speaker 1: that means those.
0:13
Speaker 2: Cars are g liastening yesterday at the last few couple
0:18
Speaker 2: of days they've been out at the dealership. Toyota has
0:21
Speaker 2: this program where they come and clean the panels, the
0:25
Speaker 2: ACM panels on outside the dealership, so they've been powerwashing
0:29
Speaker 2: the building, so it's the building is gleaming now too.
0:34
Speaker 2: And a couple of weeks ago we had we did
0:38
Speaker 2: a refurbishment of the big Toyota portal on the front
0:42
Speaker 2: with those so the lights are all good now. We
0:44
Speaker 2: had last spring we'd had the wind blew out of
0:48
Speaker 2: a strange direction. It kind of blew the red part
0:52
Speaker 2: of the logo on the front off. So that was
0:54
Speaker 2: fixed a few a few weeks before all that. So
0:57
Speaker 2: we're getting back in shape. It looks like, looks great,
1:01
Speaker 2: got some lots of have our best inventory really of
1:05
Speaker 2: the year in a long time, and more and more
1:07
Speaker 2: coming we're in Toyota than now. In our fifty seventh
1:12
Speaker 2: anniversary month, which is really exciting at the dealership. We
1:16
Speaker 2: are celebrating fifty seven years of Toyota in Bartlesville, and
1:21
Speaker 2: a lot longer than that if you count the Ford years.
1:24
Speaker 3: But we are proud to be Toyota only now.
1:29
Speaker 2: It's a little bit simpler for me, a little bit
1:32
Speaker 2: more manageable, and I love the Toyota partnership with us,
1:37
Speaker 2: and we're really really doing great this year and proud
1:42
Speaker 2: to have Kathy's Iervis here with me this morning.
1:46
Speaker 4: Say Hi, Kathy, how is everyone this morning?
1:50
Speaker 2: Well, Kathy is for those of you who don't know
1:54
Speaker 2: with the Bartlesville Civic Ballet these days, you know, I
1:57
Speaker 2: know you're probably involved in what's another thing, but I
2:00
Speaker 2: know this time of year is a very big time
2:04
Speaker 2: of year for the ballet, And I mean, you guys
2:10
Speaker 2: have programs going on year round.
2:12
Speaker 4: We do now for sure.
2:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, But the Nutcracker is this thing that's got a
2:18
Speaker 2: life of its own, and I know that, I know
2:22
Speaker 2: that you've invested a lot of your personal time in
2:24
Speaker 2: that through the years, and my family's been involved in it.
2:30
Speaker 2: My cousin Trash was a dancer for a long time,
2:34
Speaker 2: and Buddy danced in different roles for a long time.
2:39
Speaker 4: Specific part of it.
2:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's one of the things that I think is
2:42
Speaker 3: so cool, is.
2:45
Speaker 2: Well, that's not really that unusual in nutcrackers around the country, really, right,
2:50
Speaker 2: I mean.
2:51
Speaker 4: I think it is.
2:52
Speaker 5: I think the smaller companies like in towns are size
2:56
Speaker 5: incorporate this.
2:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, that's what I mean.
2:59
Speaker 2: They were not totally unique that way, right, longevity of Bartlesville's.
3:04
Speaker 3: And the and the.
3:06
Speaker 2: Maybe the ratio of the community dancers versus the professionals,
3:14
Speaker 2: it might be pretty astounding.
3:16
Speaker 3: To people with it.
3:17
Speaker 5: Certainly is I've noticed a lot more attention from the
3:23
Speaker 5: community in the years that I've been involved, which is.
3:26
Speaker 4: About forty years I've been involved.
3:29
Speaker 5: So anyway, my daughter is now the artistic director and
3:34
Speaker 5: lives in California and comes back once a month. She
3:38
Speaker 5: teaches the choreography and the girls rehearse the you know,
3:43
Speaker 5: the teachers rehearse the girls while she's gone, and then
3:46
Speaker 5: she tweaks.
3:47
Speaker 4: It when she comes back.
3:48
Speaker 5: But she's we have grown, oh my goodness, doubled in
3:53
Speaker 5: size in two years. We have over one hundred students
3:57
Speaker 5: in her academy. Now we have added a third production
4:02
Speaker 5: during the year, which is really incredible. So Melissa, Melissa
4:06
Speaker 5: the artistic director, said, I have to keep these girls
4:09
Speaker 5: dancing otherwise they don't excel. They need they need to
4:14
Speaker 5: be constantly performing.
4:16
Speaker 4: Yeah, they reached the peak level.
4:18
Speaker 3: Then that's really neat.
4:20
Speaker 2: And the time it takes to be good at something
4:23
Speaker 2: like that, and the you know, through the years, there
4:25
Speaker 2: have been many dancers go on from the program and
4:28
Speaker 2: to the careers in dance, and careers are college.
4:32
Speaker 5: Melsa was a ballet major in college and her sister
4:35
Speaker 5: Dana was as well, and then they've moved on into
4:40
Speaker 5: as a student counselor now and Melissa moved on to kinesiology,
4:44
Speaker 5: which is all part of the part of the deal.
4:48
Speaker 5: So yeah, but we're excited because this is our fiftieth
4:52
Speaker 5: full length performance of The Nutcracker, and I can't think
4:56
Speaker 5: of another town that can boast about that it would
5:00
Speaker 5: be as professional as ours is, and.
5:02
Speaker 2: It is that, and it is one of those it's
5:06
Speaker 2: a it goes the fifty years of the full length
5:10
Speaker 2: ballet and it's probably been pretty consistent the production itself.
5:16
Speaker 5: It's interesting because it depends, you know, we rely on
5:19
Speaker 5: high school kids right to be the core of our
5:23
Speaker 5: ballet company. It depends on the talent we have that year,
5:28
Speaker 5: how many boys are involved, which there are a lot now,
5:32
Speaker 5: to see what kind of choreography makes them look the best. Okay,
5:37
Speaker 5: the artistic director has that flexibility to tweak it so
5:42
Speaker 5: that according to their abilities and talent and who she
5:46
Speaker 5: has available for the parts, she can make them look great.
5:50
Speaker 5: And we have that little bit of flexibility there with
5:53
Speaker 5: the choreography, so changes a little bit.
5:56
Speaker 3: I'm sure it does. I'm no expert out. I remember
6:00
Speaker 3: when my boys were.
6:02
Speaker 2: Young and they were crawling across the stage at the
6:05
Speaker 2: beginning and being the mice and doing all that, and
6:09
Speaker 2: eventually William became a nutcracker.
6:11
Speaker 4: And it was an excellent nutcracker.
6:14
Speaker 2: I tried to get him to come this morning, but
6:17
Speaker 2: he was there was another manager off, so he had
6:19
Speaker 2: to stay at the dealership that I wanted to bring
6:22
Speaker 2: a former nutcracker.
6:25
Speaker 5: Absolutely well, we count on those boys. Yeah, And this
6:30
Speaker 5: past year we've included a class in our academy that
6:34
Speaker 5: offers classes for free just to include boys, and we
6:39
Speaker 5: have about ten now awesome and two older boys that
6:43
Speaker 5: can do these fantastic parts. I can't wait for the
6:46
Speaker 5: audience to see Russian and Arabian and doll.
6:52
Speaker 4: Right they're all young men.
6:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, awesome, that's that's really good. You know, my guys
6:57
Speaker 2: weren't so much dancers, so I.
6:59
Speaker 4: Don't I mean, well, they're performers. Yeah, that's what. That's what.
7:04
Speaker 4: It takes a lot of acting.
7:06
Speaker 5: People don't realize with no speaking that you have to
7:12
Speaker 5: be able to really act and do the pantomime that's
7:15
Speaker 5: required so that people understand the story not only in movement,
7:19
Speaker 5: but in facial expressions, your arms, your hands, it all
7:24
Speaker 5: plays a part in it.
7:25
Speaker 4: That's really important.
7:26
Speaker 3: The one year I did it, that was the that
7:28
Speaker 3: was the challenge.
7:32
Speaker 5: Well, we're excited when this is a two week marathon
7:36
Speaker 5: for the ballet. This coming weekend, we have a house
7:41
Speaker 5: tour that we've had since nineteen seventy nine, and we
7:46
Speaker 5: have four incredible homes that are fully decorated and shops
7:52
Speaker 5: and two of them one is our sugar Plum Shop,
7:54
Speaker 5: which offers nutcrackers and gifts and decorations, and the bake shop.
8:03
Speaker 5: We have over eighty seven bakers this year, so incredible.
8:07
Speaker 4: Yeah, and one hundred and thirteen volunteers.
8:09
Speaker 3: And I heard you've sold a lot of tickets.
8:12
Speaker 5: We have sold a lot of tickets and they're still
8:14
Speaker 5: available until tomorrow at four o'clock pre sale and can
8:19
Speaker 5: buy them at the door, but it costs you a
8:21
Speaker 5: little bit more.
8:21
Speaker 3: Okay, So how do they get those tickets?
8:24
Speaker 5: They go to Moxie on second Okay, that's where the
8:26
Speaker 5: tickets are available.
8:28
Speaker 4: We partner with her and.
8:29
Speaker 3: When is the winter of the tour?
8:31
Speaker 5: Dates tour is Tomorrow night from seven to nine thirty
8:35

8:41
Speaker 2: they are people Christmas decorated. You can Christmas shop or
8:45
Speaker 2: get some baked goods.
8:47
Speaker 5: It's a one stop shop once you get ideas from
8:50
Speaker 5: going to the homes, I mean decorating ideas or style furnishing.
8:56
Speaker 5: You know, there's they're all very very different homes. So
9:00
Speaker 5: there's something for everyone. I think that's some.
9:03
Speaker 3: Tickets at Moxie yep.
9:05
Speaker 2: And then here on the twentieth and twenty first it's
9:09
Speaker 2: not accurate, solf.
9:10
Speaker 5: Right, And we're excited because in celebration of our fiftieth Nutcracker,
9:15
Speaker 5: we have invited all of our former company dancers to
9:19
Speaker 5: come and see where we are at this point.
9:22
Speaker 4: We have I think.
9:23
Speaker 5: Eighty alums coming and they're going to have a party
9:28
Speaker 5: pre a pre party before the performance on Saturday, and
9:32
Speaker 5: then a kind of a cookie reception on Sunday. But
9:36
Speaker 5: they're going to be they're going to be on stage
9:39
Speaker 5: two at the beginning, so we can see who all
9:42
Speaker 5: was involved in that. We have every generation. I mean,
9:46
Speaker 5: you can imagine fifty years. Yeah, no, that's some of
9:49
Speaker 5: them are as old as me.
9:52
Speaker 3: That's exciting.
9:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's great to honor them and their legacy in Bartlesville.
9:57
Speaker 2: And you know, I it's a it is such a
10:01
Speaker 2: great program because it does get people to involved and
10:06
Speaker 2: you know, it's it's an interactive event. It's the end
10:09
Speaker 2: of these things that that you know, goes back in town.
10:13
Speaker 2: That we always talk about that on the show about
10:16
Speaker 2: how rich Bartlesville is in the resources. If people are
10:20
Speaker 2: interested in things, there's always a place for your interest
10:23
Speaker 2: to get connected to something that leads to something else
10:26
Speaker 2: and kind of sparks that that that thing that may
10:30
Speaker 2: last a lifetime or not or not. You know something
10:33
Speaker 2: you know, you know, but you learn a lot through
10:36
Speaker 2: these programs. I know, you know that it's it takes
10:40
Speaker 2: a lot to put on this kind of event, and
10:43
Speaker 2: you know it takes volunteers to I mean that's something
10:47
Speaker 2: that you know. I when my kids were little, I
10:50
Speaker 2: got to stand behind the stage and when we would
10:53
Speaker 2: come off, we'd take care of him there for a
10:56
Speaker 2: little bit. And Kimberly was doing dancing with others. I
11:00
Speaker 2: didn't I wasn't so much into that, but someone needed
11:04
Speaker 2: to take care of William and and you know, then
11:07
Speaker 2: we'd go out in front and watch the rest of
11:09
Speaker 2: the show. But you know that the whole creation of
11:14
Speaker 2: the of the sets and the scenes, putting them up,
11:18
Speaker 2: putting them down.
11:20
Speaker 3: I know that is even the floor, even the floor.
11:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is an incredible production that goes on every year,
11:27
Speaker 2: and you have to prepare for for weeks or months.
11:31
Speaker 4: We start Nutcracker in September.
11:35
Speaker 5: The fall show that we did was Dracula. We started
11:39
Speaker 5: that in June. And then of course we're doing Sleeping
11:43
Speaker 5: Beauty in the spring this year, and we'll start that
11:45
Speaker 5: in January, and we hire professionals to come in and
11:49
Speaker 5: do them. The key parts like sugar Plum Fairy for
11:53
Speaker 5: Nutcracker and the cavalier who X like the the snow
12:00
Speaker 5: King and Dances with the sugar Plum Fairy. Those two
12:04
Speaker 5: are coming from the Boston Ballet. Boston Ballet, Yes we
12:08
Speaker 5: we we are a professional production. It's not a recital.
12:13
Speaker 5: It's it's up to the next level.
12:16
Speaker 4: And so.
12:18
Speaker 5: You know, these girls either they can go on and
12:21
Speaker 5: dance or they can just like you said, they get
12:25
Speaker 5: qualities from this discipline.
12:28
Speaker 4: That they can carry on and the well you've developed.
12:30
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a it's like a confidence. It's a
12:34
Speaker 2: teamwork because it's a it's you're not alone. You have
12:38
Speaker 2: to learn to work with others to perform this this
12:41
Speaker 2: orchestrated production.
12:43
Speaker 5: Uh.
12:44
Speaker 3: And then you're you're you know a little bit.
12:46
Speaker 2: Of being out there in front of people and being
12:50
Speaker 2: that that get comfortable with being, you know, doing that
12:55
Speaker 2: process out there in front of everyone.
12:57
Speaker 3: Is is it something you know?
12:59
Speaker 2: You it's a lifelong It is a thing no matter
13:03
Speaker 2: almost no matter what you do.
13:05
Speaker 5: And I mean in Melissa's case, it came full circle.
13:09
Speaker 5: I mean, who would have thought she'd be coming back
13:11
Speaker 5: here to her hometown and doing what she's doing. But
13:16
Speaker 5: it was a lifelong just a passion for her to
13:21
Speaker 5: be involved in dance in some way and she's made it,
13:25
Speaker 5: made it, made it wonderful for us.
13:27
Speaker 4: We're excited you have.
13:29
Speaker 5: The thing about our company is the history, and it
13:34
Speaker 5: really is important to know our history and what.
13:38
Speaker 2: Are we talk a little bit about that because we
13:41
Speaker 2: did kind of start with some individuals.
13:44
Speaker 5: Yes, it started and we were founded in nineteen seventy
13:49
Speaker 5: and Charlotte like became our artistic director in nineteen seventy
13:56
Speaker 5: five and she enlisted the health of Bill Martin, viscount,
14:02
Speaker 5: who was from Fort Worth, and he presented his own
14:07
Speaker 5: choreography of the Nutcracker and we used his choreography for
14:11
Speaker 5: about oh I would say twenty years maybe, And then
14:17
Speaker 5: Soily and Lao came on board. Soile Arvola and Leohonen
14:22
Speaker 5: there from Finland originally and had danced in several companies
14:27
Speaker 5: and they became friends with Charlotte and they have been
14:31
Speaker 5: a godsend for our company.
14:34
Speaker 4: Soily is a premiere seamstress.
14:37
Speaker 5: She learned at the Finish Opera House how to sew
14:41
Speaker 5: a tutu and she's made all of our tutu's wow
14:45
Speaker 5: and refurbished them through the years. Still does it and
14:50
Speaker 5: she quit dancing probably she was sixty years old, and
14:55
Speaker 5: she's you know, she's still very much involved, has connection
15:00
Speaker 5: all over the country for securing our guest artists. Melissa
15:04
Speaker 5: has now become a key player in doing that as well.
15:08
Speaker 5: She's formed some really good relationships and that's what it takes.
15:12
Speaker 5: And those professionals that come to our to our town
15:17
Speaker 5: are dumbfounded with what we have here.
15:20
Speaker 4: Our Community Center is amazing.
15:23
Speaker 5: They're I think they're expecting to go into a school gym,
15:27
Speaker 5: you know, which they've done. But they come to this
15:30
Speaker 5: incredible place and are treated like.
15:32
Speaker 3: Kings and queens and big crowds.
15:34
Speaker 4: And big crowds, and they are available at the box.
15:39
Speaker 5: Office at the community center or the center now it's called.
15:44
Speaker 3: But you want to go ahead and get those, I would.
15:47
Speaker 5: Say yes, if you want a good seat, good seats
15:51
Speaker 5: are you're going to have to sit back on rows
15:55
Speaker 5: if you wait too long, that's for sure. But we're
15:57
Speaker 5: very excited about this year. It's kind of a turning
16:00
Speaker 5: point for us.
16:01
Speaker 3: Awesome.
16:02
Speaker 5: We're ready for the next the next few years.
16:07
Speaker 2: You've got three productions now, and are there any other
16:10
Speaker 2: plans for things.
16:11
Speaker 4: To those are forming?
16:14
Speaker 5: Our Ballet in the Ville fundraiser is going to be
16:19
Speaker 5: happening in April. We have new chairmen for that. We
16:23
Speaker 5: kind of put that on the side until we got
16:26
Speaker 5: re established after COVID really took we took it.
16:29
Speaker 3: I remember that.
16:31
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a fun, a fun event and it really
16:35
Speaker 5: boosts our our budget.
16:38
Speaker 2: And I'm sure you have another. The home tour is
16:43
Speaker 2: probably a fund right, it is.
16:45
Speaker 6: It is.
16:45
Speaker 4: We do very well with that.
16:47
Speaker 5: And then plus sponsors like you and everyone else helps,
16:52
Speaker 5: you know, make the make.
16:54
Speaker 4: The productions possible.
16:55
Speaker 5: I mean it's over a fifty thousand dollars investment to
16:59
Speaker 5: do one production.
17:00
Speaker 4: Wow, so it's it's a lot.
17:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, well it is a great production. It's a it's
17:06
Speaker 2: a great time of year as we and you know,
17:08
Speaker 2: it kind of gets everybody firmly in that celebrating Christmas
17:12
Speaker 2: mood with an incredible story of the party scene and
17:17
Speaker 2: then the dreams and and how that evolves, and it
17:23
Speaker 2: is it's one of those things that if you if
17:25
Speaker 2: you if you remember that from your childhood or from
17:28
Speaker 2: the past, and you haven't seen it in a while,
17:31
Speaker 2: or if you've never seen it, it's.
17:33
Speaker 4: It's worth seeing. It's never quite the same, no.
17:37
Speaker 2: And it's got you know, the community members in it,
17:42
Speaker 2: so you'll see you might might see.
17:44
Speaker 3: Friends or their children in the program.
17:47
Speaker 2: All the the all the kids are local, all the
17:51
Speaker 2: party scene dancers are local.
17:54
Speaker 6: All all.
17:56
Speaker 4: We have one girl from Tulsa that comes up every day.
18:01
Speaker 5: Yeah, so it's it's a commitment as a sport would be.
18:06
Speaker 5: And they give it their time. They these girls dance
18:09
Speaker 5: almost every day and that's what it takes.
18:13
Speaker 2: That's awesome. And back to the car business just a
18:17
Speaker 2: little bit. During our fifty seventh anniversary, if you buy
18:20
Speaker 2: a car from Dungeons Toyota this month, you can select
18:24
Speaker 2: a nonprofit to get a gift. We'll make a donation
18:28
Speaker 2: of fifty dollars and the Civic Ballet would be a
18:31
Speaker 2: great choice. It would, And so if you're we've had
18:36
Speaker 2: lots of people in there making that choice.
18:39
Speaker 3: And once at the end of the month of the.
18:43
Speaker 2: Charity that gets selected the most will make sure they
18:47
Speaker 2: get at least a total of twenty five hundred dollars
18:49
Speaker 2: and then we're going to get Toyota to match that.
18:52
Speaker 3: And there's a chance for a little.
18:55
Speaker 4: Bit of my plug in.
18:58
Speaker 3: That's as a.
18:59
Speaker 2: It's a coolporate we've done the last few years and
19:02
Speaker 2: We're really proud to do that, you.
19:04
Speaker 3: Know, and we we love to support our.
19:07
Speaker 2: Local community and the great organizations like the Civic Ballet
19:10
Speaker 2: and and it's kind of a way to help connect
19:14
Speaker 2: our customers and the employees at the dealership with those
19:18
Speaker 2: those programs every month and to celebrate that during our
19:23
Speaker 2: anniversary because I know for my grandmother and grandfather when
19:27
Speaker 2: they came to town, that was one of their you know,
19:30
Speaker 2: that was really important to them to be connected to
19:33
Speaker 2: the community and to support organizations like the ballet.
19:37
Speaker 4: And that's bartels so unique.
19:39
Speaker 5: With the arts, I mean they and people don't realize
19:43
Speaker 5: that they really to make a complete lifestyle, you need
19:48
Speaker 5: the arts. Oh yeah, I mean you can't just have
19:50
Speaker 5: sports and it all comes.
19:53
Speaker 2: You do need it all from the livestock shows to sports,
19:57
Speaker 2: to the arts to the other programs. You know, whenever
20:01
Speaker 2: someone's in that it does create this rich fabric of
20:04
Speaker 2: our community. And you know, that's Bartlesfield special and that
20:08
Speaker 2: it's had, you know, individuals that were generous enough to
20:12
Speaker 2: support these organizations through the years, corporations, businesses, individuals that
20:17
Speaker 2: that made this possible. And it is one of those
20:20
Speaker 2: things that that I do think is you know, we're
20:25
Speaker 2: we're small city and but but big and these things
20:31
Speaker 2: much richer than a lot of places. And that's one
20:36
Speaker 2: of the unique characteristics of Bartlesville. And it's something to
20:39
Speaker 2: celebrate for sure. And and you know, I think we
20:42
Speaker 2: don't want to take it for granted.
20:44
Speaker 4: That's right.
20:45
Speaker 3: It's one of those things that.
20:46
Speaker 4: And everybody needs to pitch in.
20:48
Speaker 3: Yeah.
20:48
Speaker 5: No, they can't just be a taker that we need
20:52
Speaker 5: the giving to it.
20:54
Speaker 3: And that's harder and harder.
20:56
Speaker 2: I'm glad to hear you guys are doing well and
20:58
Speaker 2: have this kind of research and interest after you know,
21:01
Speaker 2: COVID was hard on all its hard profits and all
21:04

24:10
Speaker 2: has a extended range from the last model, about one
24:14

Speaker 2: the way here, and you know, we just got to
24:37
Speaker 2: keep We've been really intentional this year about trying to
24:41

24:44
Speaker 2: and that's working. We've got Toyota inventory across our region
24:49
Speaker 2: turned i think last month at over eighty percent, so
24:53
Speaker 2: that even at the no matter where you shop, you're
24:57
Speaker 2: gonna you know, selection is a little tight on Toyot.
25:00
Speaker 3: But that's a that's a good problem to have.

25:07
Speaker 2: values and a high quality and great reputation for the vehicles,
25:11
