  Good morning, good morning, good morning. Welcome, welcome, welcome.
• 0:03
  It is Thursday. The sun is shining and I'm getting that gleam off those
• 0:06
  brand new cars. There a Dungeons Born Dungeons, Toya. How you doing
• 0:10
  it, Brad, Good morning, Tom. I'm doing really well. We're
• 0:13
  so glad they're all with us here this morning. It is a beautiful morning
• 0:17
  in Bartlesville. It's the first Thursday in April twenty twenty four, and it's
• 0:21
  our eighty third anniversary of selling Fords in Bartlesville. That's really great. That's
• 0:27
  again time a year for us, and we're really you know, proud of
• 0:31
  that legacy. Several hundred thousand vehicles later, you know, I've actually we've
• 0:36
  been selling Fords in Oklahoma for ninety five years now, and it's a a
• 0:41
  lot of people can say that they can't that's true, and a third generation,
• 0:46
  you know, it's a We're not in anyways the largest or anything.
• 0:50
  We really focus on the local and our community and our customers, just like
• 0:55
  the from the beginning. My my grandfather went to work at a Ford dealership
• 0:59
  and talk at Oklahoma when he was in high school. He and two of
• 1:02
  his brothers. I have a picture of them on a basketball team playing for
• 1:07
  that sponsored team like we do. And uh, and they they went off
• 1:11
  to college and came back and the dealer helped him get started as a Ford
• 1:15
  dealer and made it through the depression and and and the war war World War
• 1:23
  two. It was a really interesting time to be a car dealer. Didn't
• 1:27
  get many new cars then, and uh, you know, Ford was all
• 1:32
  building stuff for the war effort and made it through all that, made it
• 1:36
  through to the fifties and sixties, grew to have lots of brands, shrunk
• 1:41
  back down now to just Ford and Toyota. But it's resilience and the ability
• 1:46
  to adapt. That's what it takes to make it this long. But that's
• 1:49
  what's great about Bartlesville, I think too. And one reason why it's it's
• 1:53
  we're all so passionate about it is you know that stuff like what Concern does
• 1:59
  and it's a yeah, I've got Peggy at the Crowder here, executive director
• 2:02
  of Concern, and Chris Wilson who's on the board and also the director of
• 2:08
  Barsville Redevelopment Trust Authority, right, and so we'll talk about all that.
• 2:14
  But Concern was a great or very important organization to my grandmother. She was
• 2:20
  a member of the United Methodist Church and she was in the ladies group that
• 2:25
  helped create Concern and and it was you know, so that and and we
• 2:30
  always usually talk about my grandfather on the show because he was the patriarch and
• 2:36
  ran the business, and but it was my grandmother was critical in that.
• 2:39
  And she was involved in so many organizations in Bartlesville. And that's that's one
• 2:45
  reason why the company is really focused on stuff like that in our community.
• 2:50
  That compassion, the Concern exhibits and it really is about taking care of people
• 2:54
  in me right, yes, absolutely, Well, we appreciate your grandma and
• 3:00
  the other seventeen founding churches that started Concerned in nineteen sixty seven. So we've
• 3:05
  been around for a long time. And the need, unfortunately is greater than
• 3:09
  ever and the cost of food has exploded that people just can't afford it,
• 3:15
  and we have the ability to help serve them in a way that others are,
• 3:23
  but maybe a little bit differently with our food pantuation so unique and how
• 3:27
  you you know, you bring together the churches in our community and focus that
• 3:31
  on you know, on people who need things, and you know, so
• 3:35
  it is different from the other kinds of safety nets we have. Yeah.
• 3:38
  Yes, the food we provide is for about four to seven days, and
• 3:45
  anyone in Washington County is able to receive food every thirty days. And we
• 3:50
  were able to increase that service because of our capital improvements that we have received
• 3:54
  in the last year and are just now putting together with a walk and freezer
• 4:00
  especially, so we have more storage, more ability to get more food.
• 4:04
  But with that is the increased costs and such, right, and then we
• 4:09
  also are delivering to three senior complexes, so we have the ability to serve
• 4:15
  one hundred and ninety two units. About seventy five take advantage of that.
• 4:18
  So we're very excited about being able to grow our services because of what the
• 4:24
  community needs. We're always looking for that, right, And I know you've
• 4:27
  got all an event coming up, and you're always looking to raise money for
• 4:31
  those capital needs that you have and for the just the ongoing effort to keep
• 4:36
  filling the pantry and stuff like that. But let's talk about the event,
• 4:42
  Chris. I know you've been involved in that and it's such a neat thing
• 4:45
  to get people downtown and see the living space that people have downtown now,
• 4:48
  it's evolved so much in recent years, and it's called dwell downtown. Now,
• 4:55
  what created this idea? How did you come up with this well dwell
• 4:58
  downtown? You know, figured out that most people dwell. Dwell means a
• 5:03
  lot of things to a lot of people, So it's not just living,
• 5:06
  but it's also just being downtown experiencing downtown. So we wanted to have something
• 5:12
  that was going to highlight what we did downtown and what you can do downtown.
• 5:16
  At the same time, start to tell people about what was upstairs,
• 5:20
  what is above those businesses, because a lot of times people look and go
• 5:24
  have no idea, and especially they have no idea that there are apartments up
• 5:29
  there. And there are some pretty cool apartments up there. So and many
• 5:33
  people have never seen those before. Even the ones that have seen some of
• 5:38
  them, they haven't seen all of them. No, I think I've been
• 5:40
  in one of them. Maybe very cool. And so you'll get a chance
• 5:46
  to visit these residences and tell us about what the evening will consist of.
• 5:51
  So we have a variety of kinds of apartments and lofts. So we have
• 5:58
  studios, we have one bedroom, one bath, we have two bedroom,
• 6:00
  one bath and two bedroom, two baths, so you'll get to see all
• 6:03
  kinds of them. We have some that are very historic, very period style,
• 6:09
  and we have some that are very modern. So again you've got all
• 6:13
  kinds of ways to see what's available. Some of these are our airbnb types
• 6:19
  and others are for rent, and so we all have to, you know,
• 6:25
  be mindful of the property owners and the tenants, and so some of
• 6:30
  those are actual tenants that are going to let us in to see what they've
• 6:34
  done with those apartments. So it will consist. Right now, we have
• 6:40
  seven apartments all together, so we have basically one more than we thought we
• 6:44
  were going to have, and so they are going to consist of the Noble
• 6:49
  Loss which is on West second Street. We have the Refinery downtown, which
• 6:56
  is actually the jewel Box hotel apartments. Those two in there, there's two
• 7:00
  in the Noble Lofts, and then there is one called the Bliss Apartments,
• 7:03
  and that was located at one twelve easton East second Street, and that's up
• 7:09
  above what normally you people would remember the Karate Studio, and that one is
• 7:15
  actually something that is very hidden and it's a it's a split level apartment and
• 7:19
  not many people know anything about that one. It's really the first time that
• 7:24
  we would be able to show it to the public. Then we go down
• 7:27
  to the Beauford Lofts and we see a studio and this one's a particularly neat
• 7:31
  one because it has a great graphic on the wall that used to be of
• 7:36
  a store that was built before the Buford was And so a lot of these
• 7:42
  buildings have party walls. They didn't just build separate walls, they just added
• 7:46
  on to the next building. Okay. So and then we finally finally go
• 7:51
  to the McCoy Lofts above McCoy Jewelers, and that one is has a particular
• 7:59
  tenant that letting us in to see what he's been able to do with his
• 8:01
  apartment. That sounds fascinating. And it's all on what is the date again,
• 8:07
  April sixteenth, Tuesday, April sixteenth, from four thirty to seven thirty,
• 8:16
  And there are two tours that are available at five and six o'clock.
• 8:20
  So the easiest way to get tickets is through our website Concerncares dot com.
• 8:24
  And then you get to choose which tour you would like to go to,
• 8:28
  and there's a reception that's available prior to both of those tours. So it's
• 8:31
  going to be a really fun night. Most people are going to come downtown
• 8:35
  just because they're nosy, but others are really interested in what Bartlesville has to
• 8:41
  offer. Most people know what it has to offer, but not like they
• 8:46
  don't know that there's what one hundred and seventy two available apartments in downtown Birtlesville
• 8:52
  alone. Yes, Chris, I didn't know that. Chris gave us aw
• 8:54
  this awesome information. And we have the Downtown bartles Little Group that is our
• 9:01
  premier sponsor, and of course the Refinery offering us a space for the reception,
• 9:05
  and the Young Professional Group of Bartlesville and they're actually going to be the
• 9:09
  tour guides. We're going to have these young people that are interested in the
• 9:13
  growth of Bartlesville and especially downtown. So it's going to be a really fun
• 9:18
  night. If you have any questions, you can call Concern at nine one
• 9:22
  eight three three six four six nine three. So it's we're hoping to make
• 9:28
  some money to be able to continue our services, especially with our increased services
• 9:35
  at Concern that are greatly needed in our community. And it's so important that
• 9:39
  I mean, we've seen a lot of great sponsors come up, you know,
• 9:41
  I think Dungeons is part of this. And then of course we have
• 9:45
  a Zach Henderson State Farm Insurance which with good tie in here because you need
• 9:50
  insurance if you're going to do apartments right. And then of course we also
• 9:54
  had the Apartments and Hotel Phillips that even though they're not on the tour,
• 9:58
  they're going to support this anyway. Awesome. And then our other sponsors are
• 10:01
  Cherokee Nation and of course Dungeons and Brad and their group that have always supported
• 10:09
  concern and we greatly appreciate it. And then Arvest Bank Bank first started bank
• 10:16
  and Whist similar agency excellent and a lot of great supporters that we continually have
• 10:24
  that concern. And I love that it draws attention to downtown and all the
• 10:26
  work that's gone down there. I mean, there's so much going on and
• 10:30
  you think back to you know, you know, thirty forty years ago,
• 10:35
  and now it evolved from in a place where we all went to the movies
• 10:39
  and eat and all that to kind of be in a place where people went
• 10:43
  to work, and then they went somewhere else and then it started coming back
• 10:46
  to life and it has not stopped. I mean, and you've seen that
• 10:50
  too as you've been working at the Redevelopment Authority. We sure have. I
• 10:54
  mean, it's it's been a great journey. It's been a village that's taking
• 10:58
  this on. It's not one person. It's the great thing about all the
• 11:01
  property owners, all the business owners. They're all pretty much together and we're
• 11:03
  all in it. Yeah, we're all in everybody. Were meant to have
• 11:07
  a rich and vibrant downtown. That's right, that's right. And we have
• 11:09
  supported the community green there and they're great community space we have there now.
• 11:15
  And and we you know, we continually add on to the great offerings that
• 11:20
  we have. And we think about Frank and Lois that's been there for a
• 11:22
  long time, that stall warts has been constant and consistent all the time.
• 11:26
  And then we just got painted Horse and we have the newest ones, you
• 11:30
  know, the lounge and the palace rooms and the lollipops pizza. I mean,
• 11:35
  and these are entrepreneurs, you know, they're not chained. They're entrepreneurs
• 11:37
  that are really trying to do something. Many are really trying to do it
• 11:41
  for Yeah. Absolutely, they live here, right, they want to have
• 11:45
  places to go and so they're doing it for each other, absolutely absolutely,
• 11:50
  So it's a it is a great community and we love that kind of thing
• 11:54
  and we just want to continue to expand what we can do and offer more,
• 11:58
  uh services to those people that are are doing great things for our community.
• 12:03
  That's awesome. And and tell us a little bit about that. I
• 12:07
  mean, are are some of these places we're visiting? Are they been involved
• 12:11
  in redevelopment actions? And they have they have so well. Actually the refinery
• 12:18
  received money from us from the Barrels Wore Redevelopment Trust Authority and I'm just going
• 12:22
  to call it b r T, A for sure familiar with. And then
• 12:26
  so that was, you know, a huge undertake and it was about a
• 12:31
  two point five million dollar project when after that whole place burn if you may
• 12:35
  have remembered that one burn on the corner, and that was before Hideaway,
• 12:39
  before Honey's Flowers, and before the refinery came in. So that was big
• 12:45
  deal. And we also did the Noble Lofts, which was also about a
• 12:48
  two point five million dollar project. That actual we took it completely vacant building
• 12:54
  that was rapidly falling down and changed that one to eleven lofts and four commercial
• 13:01
  spaces in which are full, which are you know, a fantastic thing.
• 13:05
  The next one we have, I think the next one we did was the
• 13:11
  McCoy lofts, and so those are other things that have happened, but they
• 13:15
  were further back. And this, I mean, what it does is create
• 13:18
  more business in a way, all this activity down there, the sales tax
• 13:22
  that creates just you mentioned Airbnb and people coming in to visit. I mean,
• 13:26
  certainly there's a lot of tourism in our area these days with what's going
• 13:31
  on around us regionally and also just to visit Bartlesville, and so it is
• 13:37
  it is a unique opportunity to kind of tile that together and get people out
• 13:41
  there and active and doing stuff. It absolutely is. I think said we
• 13:45
  have great entrepreneurs right now. You know, one of the people we did
• 13:48
  something recently with was Andrew Adrian Halwhite. The Palace Rooms, the whole upstairs,
• 13:54
  all the apartments up there was the result of both a b RT a
• 13:58
  grant and also a hud federal hope that's called HOPE six Mainstream Rent, So
• 14:03
  that creates seven apartments upstairs and those were affordable. So let's talk again about
• 14:11
  Concern and what's going on there. I know. Way we mentioned the event
• 14:13
  Dwell Downtown is on the sixteenth April sixteenth, four thirty to seven, I
• 14:22
  believe, And we'll start at the refinery, yeah, with the reception and
• 14:28
  then have a tour visiting seven locations in downtown Bartlesville where people are letting being
• 14:33
  generous enough to let people come in and visit. And it's all to support
• 14:37
  Concern. It is. And the cost of the tickets are twenty five dollars
• 14:41
  okay, yes, and that's pre sale and then thirty dollars at the door,
• 14:45
  okay. So we just wanted to make it available to everybody. This
• 14:48
  is our inaugural fundraiser. You can't use first Annuel because that's not proper from
• 14:56
  what I was told. And it will help Concern just continue our services and
• 15:07
  as stated, we're always looking for ways to help the community in whatever is
• 15:13
  needed. Right now, you have programs that you mentioned the food pantry,
• 15:16
  and then we have financial assistance. It's up to one hundred and fifty dollars
• 15:20
  per household per year and it really helps an individual a family stay in their
• 15:26
  home. So it could be utility disconnection, eviction issues, it could be
• 15:31
  a state idea that needs to be replaced because they need a job. We
• 15:37
  also have partnered with the Rotary Club and we are doing bus passes city ride
• 15:43
  bus passes just another barrier for employed individuals and also for t be a real
• 15:48
  difficult problem if people don't have access to a vehicle right And we also are
• 15:54
  working with Oklahoma Workforce in training programs because sometimes they need transferation. And then
• 16:00
  once you are in the city ride transportation process, you can also do a
• 16:07
  work ride for a dollar each way if you work and live in Barblesville in
• 16:11
  the city of limits. So it's a win win with so many collaborative individuals
• 16:17
  and organizations that we continue just growing in what we are needed. And Chriss
• 16:22
  it helped in men's ways with the Rotary with me personally introducing me to Concern
• 16:29
  four years ago when we moved here from West Virginia, So it was Chris
• 16:34
  that did most of all of that that I really appreciate being able to be
• 16:38
  the face in the director of a wonderful nonprofit in this region. And we
• 16:45
  also have the other Salvation Army a Gopy and Mary Martha, which are really
• 16:51
  a couple of blocks away, and we all work really well together to make
• 16:53
  sure that we have resources that are complimentary and necessarily right. That's a theme
• 17:03
  always in Bartlesville that we do. We do kind of have this network of
• 17:07
  organizations that really provide that safety net so to speak, and other opportunities for
• 17:12
  people throughout I mean, whether it's children and support for things like the Boys
• 17:18
  and Girls clubs and the YMCA and everything I mean I don't. We also
• 17:23
  have a pay program and that is for any individual that is not able to
• 17:29
  manage their Social Security finances. So it could be deemed necessary through the so
• 17:33
  Security office or from the individual itself or a family member that states this person
• 17:40
  needs assistance. And it does cost forty eight dollars a month for that program.
• 17:45
  But Darryl is well beyond just managing your finances. He looks at your
• 17:52
  whole life and what you need. He negotiates with local vendors for things that
• 17:56
  people need and making sure that everybody is safe. Great service. That's so
• 18:02
  awesome. And you know I mentioned our anniversary that going on this year,
• 18:07
  and what we're going to do again this year like we did last year,
• 18:10
  is make a donation for every car we sell. This month to a nonprofit
• 18:15
  in Bartlesville. It was so much fun. Last year we had you know,
• 18:19
  we gave away thousands of dollars the nonprofit that gets the most votes,
• 18:25
  so to speak. We'll actually we're going to give one hundred dollars every time
• 18:29
  we sell a car and then if the one that gets the most votes will
• 18:32
  make it two hundred and fifty dollars. And Hopestone got the most last year.
• 18:37
  Great organization. A neat story was that it was one of our salesmen
• 18:42
  who had had a experience at Hopstone someone in his family had had cancer and
• 18:47
  needed that support, and basically he rallied and told everybody he sold the car
• 18:52
  to about that, and some of the other salesmen started supporting it too,
• 18:56
  and so that personal connection really made the difference. So I know that's that's
• 19:00
  how this works in Martlesville, that people have their favorite things and personal connections.
• 19:06
  But that's what makes our community so rich and why all those organizations can
• 19:11
  keep providing that network that you've got there. So we concerned will definitely be
• 19:15
  promoting and hopefully we'll get some votes. Good well, I bet you do,
• 19:19
  ye, and we'll Yeah, we've got quite a list this year.
• 19:23
  We started try to limit it, but then employees start saying, well what
• 19:27
  about this and that, and so it's really you can pick any nonprofit you
• 19:32
  want. I'm there are quite a few. Somebody's got me a list of
• 19:37
  something like one hundred and fifty that and then they said that was the list,
• 19:40
  and then I kept thinking of some that weren't on there. But it
• 19:45
  is great and this is just a chance to support your your community. If
• 19:48
  you are in the market for a car, take advantage of that. Come
• 19:52
  check it out. It done just our team has all the information and will
• 19:55
  help you do that. We've got, you know, another thing going on
• 19:59
  this month. It's a big anniversary for Mustang. The Mustang is going to
• 20:03
  be sixty years old on April seventeenth. That's a big thing in the Ford
• 20:07
  world. And for it was my first car, was it okay? Well,
• 20:11
  motor Mustangs are still iconic. I you know, we we I was
• 20:15
  talking to one of our customers who's actually a former Ford engineer for many for
• 20:22
  decades and he's got a sixty four and a half Mustang and we're trying to
• 20:26
  put together an event late maybe for Mustang birthday and our dealership birthday later this
• 20:30
  month, so keep keep your you know, we're shooting. Maybe it'll be
• 20:36
  on the twenty that last Saturday, on the twenty seventh, but we're still
• 20:38
  pulling all that together, so keep keep your eyes open for that. But
• 20:42
  big announcement this week was on the Mustang GTD, which is probably not the
• 20:48
  first driver for people. This is a bespoke, you know, like a
• 20:53
  you know, I don't know what do they call those cars there, but
• 20:56
  they're over three hundred thousand dollars Mustang made, made individually for someone, and
• 21:03
  they're going to Ford is going to make They wouldn't say how many, but
• 21:06
  not very many, so maybe one hundred or a couple hundred, and there'll
• 21:11
  be incredible vehicles if you were in it. You know, I've showed it
• 21:15
  to a few people, and it's one of the best engineered Fords ever made.
• 21:18
  I know that the whole team at Ford is really proud of it,
• 21:22
  and it can be kind of a halo vehicle and something to celebrate the Mustang's
• 21:26
  long heritage. But I think the cool thing about Mustang is it ranges all
• 21:30
  the way from that extreme to the sixty four and a half that really started
• 21:36
  out as kama As an economy car that was s forty and as early,
• 21:41
  a great vehicle for people. And what was yours? Oh, it was
• 21:47
  a nineteen eighty something or another, but it was a six shift and I
• 21:49
  burnt the clutch out really quickly. What can happen? It was horrible.
• 21:53
  But now my husband has he likes six shifts in his car, so I
• 21:59
  can drive both cars and not stole it out. For the first one,
• 22:07
  I had a beautiful I saw one of those on the road the other day
• 22:12
  and it was like an original one. It was. It was incredible.
• 22:15
  Those are great old cars. They did last a long time. And you
• 22:21
  know, so that that heritage of all the great forwards. And I'm not
• 22:25
  so right, And you know that's that's part of being in in this business
• 22:29
  that you know, all the new technology is is amazing. We we uh,
• 22:33
  we keep worrying about more stuff they're coming out with, and as they
• 22:37
  keep we keep transitioning into different power trains and how vehicles move and they drive
• 22:42
  with us and and help us assist us is driving. And there's so much
• 22:48
  safety stuff on these new vehicles. People really do need to check that out.
• 22:51
  There's lots of great stuff we can show you on on all the vehicles.
• 22:55
  Uh. Ford Blue Crews is a system that where in certain their parts
• 22:59
  there you can actually go hands free and not touch the wheel. Uh there's
• 23:03
  uh yeah, the Toyota Adaptive Cruise Control. It's kind of it. Actually,
• 23:07
  it's it works. I've used it several times. Toyota Adapter Cruise Control
• 23:14
  is really powerful. It it can since when you're going around turn, it
• 23:18
  slows you down and the apex of the turn and appropriate speed so you can
• 23:22
  be at your your speed control and then it'll sense that that we're going on
• 23:26
  a turn and it'll just bring you back down a little and then bring you
• 23:30
  back up out of it. And it's very comfortable and and you of course
• 23:34
  got to keep your hands on the wheels and these days, but you know,
• 23:37
  in another ten years, who knows if we'll even need to do that.
• 23:41
  My daughter just bought a four hybrid in Saint Lewis and she loves it.
• 23:48
  You know, it's the best of both worlds gas and you know,
• 23:52
  it in a great gas mileage and everything. She's just just loves it.
• 23:56
  And you know that's you know, they're just getting to see plug in hybrids
• 24:00
  too. Which actually gives you that smaller range where you can be truly electric,
• 24:03
  but the flexibility to go off and just fill it up. And they
• 24:07
  got a road trip from Saint Louis to Bartlesville easily, you know. So
• 24:12
  there are lots of great choices for people, and of course we've got them
• 24:15
  all out of Doune just and stuff coming real soon. We've got we'll have
• 24:21
  a new land cruiser from Toyota. This is hearkening back to the original land
• 24:26
  Cruiser. We're going to be a really popular vehicle, lower cost than the
• 24:30
  land cruiser that went away a couple of years ago. That was really the
• 24:33
  Apex SUV for Toyota. Now Sequaia has taken that and this will be more
• 24:40
  of a Bronco like land cruiser. I think it'll be really competitive with Bronco
• 24:45
  and some of the Jeep models. And then so we're excited about that.
• 24:48
  We've got the twenty five Explorer will be our first twenty five moderor year vehicle.
• 24:53
  Pretty soon. I've got a Raptors on the ground right now, a
• 24:57
  Raptor F one fifty han Bronco available. Pretty cool, and we're gonna you
• 25:03
  mentioned the hybrids we've got we'll have our first Tacoma Hybrid allocated in the second
• 25:07
  half of this month, and we have an all new Tacoma and it's we're
• 25:12
  just now getting our first models of that. We've delivered three or four of
• 25:17
  them, and there's lots more coming. We saw lots of Tacomas around here,
• 25:21
  so it'll be very popular. But I think that that hybrid is going
• 25:23
  to be really cool, give you a great few economy and and the new
• 25:27
  thing about hybrids these days is it's you an The original hybrid was a Prius
• 25:33
  and you know, kind of really meant for efficiency, and it still does
• 25:37
  that, but it can hybrid can also give you power and torque and you
• 25:41
  know, some of that driving dynamic that we all like about our vehicles.
• 25:45
  So anyway, yeah, range, yes, that's important. Right. Yeah,
• 25:52

• 25:56
