A Bartlesville hero will be honored this month though many might not take notice of the relatively quiet fanfare. It is not a big public banquet or parade, but rather a retirement party in a church fellowship hall that will ring in this hero’s recognition. But her accomplishments stand tall in our community – particularly with those who learned new skills and independence under her leadership. For Susan Murphy helped give them freedom to live happier and more secure lives. Susan Murphy and Lois Morgan were part of the early day founders of Martha’s Task, working in the 1990s with others in St. James Catholic Church to set up a program that would help people living in poverty make money by using sewing skills. Flash forward to 2014 and the program is not only still going, but is a thriving nonprofit that provides job skills and income to those in need and provides the community with a bounty of beautiful gifts stitched with love and placed for sale in the organization’s store at 718 S. Johnstone Ave. or online at www.marthastask.com. There are aprons, pillows, specialty flip flops, handcrafted jewelry pieces and home décor items. All are made by seamstresses trained through Martha’s Task, which works its modern day miracles using fabric, trimming and sewing machines donated to the cause.

Each pillow and wall hanging and purse stitched by Martha’s Task represents a step toward independence from poverty and troubles. Here is a group that is successfully working to combat the woeful statistics of our state, which show Oklahoma ranking high in teen pregnancy rates, domestic violence, female incarceration and divorce. These social issues that can lead to poverty or worsen it have found a formidable force in the Martha’s Task circle – a group that helps women use sewing skills to meet emergency crisis needs, as well as providing a longterm income for themselves. And so we celebrate the goodness and productivity of Martha’s Task this month and we salute those who pursued the creation of the organization so long ago. Many thanks to Susan Murphy for all she has done to help those in need in our community. Susan’s come-and-go retirement celebration is set from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Oct. 23 at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church. Stop by and toast her dedication with cookies and punch and give your thanks for her years of hard work. You can also honor her service by joining in the work she began through donations of materials or money. Let’s keep sewing the seeds of love in Bartlesville.

Drop Dead Gorgeous

Live Music from Zodiac

DBI brings Zombie Prom to downtown BY LAURA SUMMERS Just imagine if you could relive the much vaunted high school prom experience but without the binding tuxedo, the sparkly formal dress and the mandatory big hair. What if you could do over prom the way you want it to be – with the friends you have now and alcoholic beverages and no acne? Downtown Bartlesville, Inc. is making that dream a reality with one small twist. Many of the guests might look like death warmed over. The first ever Zombie Prom comes to downtown Bartlesville from 7:30 to 10 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 25, at Frank Phillips Club in the Kress Building, 206 S.E. Frank Phillips Blvd. Tickets are $30 in advance at www.bartlesvillecf.org/zombie-prom and $35 at the door. “What we have discovered through

Ghost Walk is people really get into Halloween,” Mark Haskell, DBI board chairman, says. “We wanted to make the most of that. This will be the first annual, we hope, Zombie Prom in Bartlesville.” Guests are encouraged to dress for the evening in their best Zombie wear. But if nothing in your wardrobe really says “night of the living dead,” not to worry. There will be makeup artists from Sephora available at the event to help wash out your complexion and add some more dark circles under your eyes providing a ghostly facelift to top off any ensemble you choose. Prepare to dance the night away to the sounds of Tulsa pop/rock band Zodiac, featuring former Bartian Ayngel McNall (vocals), along with John Russell (vocals, guitar), Jarrod Gollihare (vocals, drums) and Robert Rillo (bass guitar, keyboard). There will be a cash bar at the big

party, which is for guests who are 21 years of age and older. Shorties Grill and Shady Acres food trucks will be providing tasty concessions for the evening. One lucky guest will even win a big prize. Downtown Bartlesville, Inc. is giving away an iPAD Air at the event. No worries if you are looking worse for wear at this big dance, you could still end up with a crown. Every prom needs royalty, of course, so the Zombie Prom King and Queen will be chosen and honored at the event. All of this ghoulish fun helps put money in the coffers at Downtown Bartlesville Inc., which uses the funds as part of its mission to develop and promote the heart of the city. DBI also hosts the annual Ghost Walk tour on Oct. 22 and 23. To learn more about Zombie Prom or DBI, visit www.downtownbartlesvilleinc.org. OCTOBER 2014 | Bartlesville Monthly

Ghost Walk 2014 Ghost Walk 2014 comes to Bartlesville Oct. 22-23 BY LAURA SUMMERS Scary stories. Ghost stories. Tales of things that go bump in the night. All will be revealed this month when Ghost Walk 2014 hits the streets of Bartlesville.

Bartlesville Monthly | OCTOBER 2014

Stops on the tour begin with highlighting both the 1909-era S.H. Kress Company store and Frank Phillips Club and continue on to Jay’s Automotive, which is located in a building at 215 E. Second St. that was built in 1917. The tour continues to Andrea Mann Photography, which is located at 222 S.E. Frank Phillips Blvd. in a site that was the Motor Supply Company in 1919.

Frank Phillips Blvd., is the final stop on the tour.World War I veterans successfully lobbied for the hospital to be built and it served Bartlesville for many decades. Plans now are in the works to renovate the stately structure into apartments. Keep watch along the way during the tour for zombies, which have been known to make appearances. Theatre Bartlesville trains actors for the roles of storytelling and zombie walking in preparation for the big event each year.

Harmonious Wail BCCA kicks off 2014-15 season with Oct. 9 concert

Get ready for a continental jazz, swing, gypsy music extravaganza this month when Harmonious Wail takes the stage in Bartlesville Community Concert Association’s first show of the 2014-15 season. The trio will be combining melodic vocals with jazzy mandolin and guitar in a show of classics from Nat King Cole, Fats Waller, Billie Holiday, Lennon/McCartney, Django Reinhardt and Steely Dan. The performance begins at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 9 at Bartlesville Community Center. Individual tickets range from $5 to $20 for the show, or buy a season pass good for five concerts for $20 to $80 each. Harmonious Wail was founded in 1987 by Sims Delaney-Potthoff who leads the group and plays mandolin, as well as a 1937 Gibson tenor guitar. He sings, writes and arranges music for the group. Vocalist Maggie Delaney-Potthoff combines captivating vocal ability with dance and theatre background and a talent for playing a cardboard box drum with brushes. Master bassist Jeff Weiss rounds out the trio adding in technical

skills on the fretboard and a sophisticated and versatile style with classical and jazz influences. Bartlesville Community Concert Association has been providing quality family entertainment at affordable prices since 1937. Generous donations from supporters combined with grants from organizations and corporations help the association bring top performers to the city each year. The 2014-15 BCCA lineup also includes Tony Desare Trio on Nov. 17, Jaimee Paul on Feb. 3, Cornet Chop Suey on March 13 and Glenn Miller Orchestra on May 17. A contemporary pops show is on tap when Tony Desare comes to Bartlesville in November bringing his internationally acclaimed talent to the stage as vocalist, pianist and songwriter. Known for a fresh take on classics, Desare will feature a variety of tunes from artists such as Elton John, Billy Joel and popular stars of the 1970s. Head to the glory days of the Jazz Age in February when Jaimee Paul brings to

Bartlesville Community Center a tribute to leading ladies such as Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Doris Day and Rosemary Clooney. Paul’s solo career has taken her throughout the U.S. as well as to Japan, Europe and Canada. A 7-piece band named after a slightly obscure Louis Armstrong composition, Cornet Chop Suey arrives in Bartlesville in March. Expect traditional jazz, blues, swing and big production numbers from this high energy performance by a band that has been in great demand since its debut in 2001. The world famous Glenn Miller Orchestra brings the final performance of the season for BCCA with a stellar May concert planned. Big Band hits will be the focus of the show, which will include “Moonlight Serenade,” “Chattanooga Choo Choo” and “Tuxedo Junction.” Purchase tickets for individual shows at Bartlesville Community Center Box Office or online.

ANOTHER GREAT DOWNTOWN BARTLESVILLE, INC EVENT BROUGHT TO YOU BY:

Bringing back Broadway

the arts

“Smokey Joe’s Café” and “Anything Goes” on stage this month

BY LACY G. GITTINGER One of the reasons Bartlesville is such a great place to live is the quality of cultural attractions our city has to offer. Broadway in Bartlesville continues to bring shows to the community every year, providing top notch entertainment that draws in a healthy crowd. Two popular shows are coming to town as the season debuts this month bringing lots of laughs, witty dialogue, and thrilling musical numbers. Get ready for “Smokey Joe’s Café” and “Anything Goes.” Tickets are on sale for the first show of the season - one that’s certainly an audience pleaser – “Smokey Joe’s Café.” Created by famed songwriters Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, the show features popular rhythm and blues group The Coasters for whom the writers wrote music in the late 1950s. “It’s a very nostalgic show with a midcentury nightclub type theme,” explains Val

Callaghan, Bartlesville Community Center managing director. “This show is unique because it features radio songs that people recognize outside of the Broadway stage, paired with excellent choreography.” Developed around Leiber and Stoller’s iconic rock ‘n roll and R&B hits by artists such as Elvis, The Drifters and more, the show incorporates well-known and muchloved tunes such as “Love Potion #9” “Stand By Me” and “Jailhouse Rock.” “Smokey Joe’s Café” takes the stage at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 13 at Bartlesville Community Center. Later this month, come back for more when the Community Center welcomes “Anything Goes” at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 29. The spirited show is set aboard an ocean liner bound from New York to London and revels in the mishaps and zany antics that occur once departed from land. “This one features a young cast and contemporary costumes, but paired with the classic storyline, it really comes alive for

young people,” expresses Callaghan, “We want to appeal to and teach the younger generation about classic Broadway shows.” “Anything Goes” will entertain with exciting kick-lines, stowaway romances, and of course, memorable musical bits. Short season tickets are still available for purchase at the Community Center Box Office. Purchase your seat now for the remaining shows in 2015: “Guys and Dolls,” “Nice Work If You Can Get It” and “The Midtown Men.” Short season sponsorships are also still available for individuals or businesses that wish to support Broadway in Bartlesville and receive advertisement. To sponsor, contact Jo Baughman at 918-337-2787. The Box Office is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. For more information on Broadway in Bartlesville and other Community Center events, visit www. bartlesvillecommunitycenter.com or call 918-336-ARTS. OCTOBER 2014 | Bartlesville Monthly

Role Models Andrea Mann Senior Reps emphasize service to others

Andrea Mann Photography has found a way to promote beauty inside and out. The studio’s senior rep program features area 12th graders who are not just models for photographs, they are examples of how to serve others. The student representatives receive from the studio free photo shoots throughout the year, along with photos they can share on social media. Mann notes the program is much more about service to the community than it is about modeling. “The students were selected because of their willingness to get involved in the community and most of them already are highly involved,” Mann says. “We are

planning to be involved in several events throughout the year. It’s a great way for the reps to get great senior portraits, community service hours, and they have a lot of fun while doing both.” Specializing in creative, fun and out of the box photography, Mann works from a studio based at 222 S.E. Frank Phillips Blvd.,

BRIDGET RAY

though often her work takes her into the community just as her senior reps are doing with this specialty program. To learn more about Andrea Mann Photography, the modeling program or to schedule the reps to come to a community event, call 918815-2340.

Milk and Honey New medical spa offers soothing ambiance to clients

Botox, Juviderm and Voluma are just a few of the services offered at Milk and Honey Medical Spa.

Step through the doorway of Milk and Honey Medical Spa and begin to feel at home. Soft, soothing music is playing in the background and the home shopping network is displaying bargains in the front room. The walls are a warm and sunny yellow and the décor in every room includes long flowing drapes, exquisitely soft blankets and cheery red coverlets. The ambiance of the spa at 2232 S.E. Washington Blvd., Suite 206 is designed to relax clients. Tucked into the east end of Patriot Plaza, around the corner from the main strip of businesses, Milk and Honey is Bartlesville newest spa. The staff specializes in merging the science of aesthetic medicine with the pampering of a traditional spa. One of the most popular services at the spa is Botox – a prescription medicine injected into facial muscles to improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines. On special for a limited time, Milk and

Honey staff are offering Botox treatments at the bargain price of $10 a unit. A quick 10-minute procedure, Botox lasts for up to four months. Juvederm and Voluma are two additional treatments administered at Milk and Honey that are popular with clients looking to fill out lines in the face and sculpt cheeks. Procedures typically take 15 to 30 minutes with immediate results. The staff encourage clients who receive the treatments to continue a good skin care regimen. Milk and Honey offers a full line of products from Skin Care Studio for at-home care designed by the spa’s own aesthetician who has more than 30 years of experience. Her line of specialty treatments includes an eye, neck and decollete cream, a lip volumizer, and exclusively created peels, serums and gels. With the season for winter cruises coming up quickly, Milk and Honey is ready for clients with nonsurgical fat reduction procedures. The options include

fat freezing and fat melting. Target trouble spots like upper arms or thighs, or go for improvement to large areas such as the back, abdomen or love handles. Work on getting in tiptop shape even more with the spa’s nutritional supplement and massage programs. Milk

and

Honey

offers

some

All in the follow through

Hillcrest Pro Pat Ritchie earns BSC Hall of Fame spot BY ROD WALTON The first time he picked up a racket and started hitting the ball, Pat Ritchie knew tennis was the game for him. “I played all the sports growing up,” Ritchie recalls. “I just got satisfaction from hitting a ball and knowing where it was going.” He has not stopped since.The longtime Hillcrest Country Club pro started playing at the dawn of the Open Era, became a teaching pro while the U.S. dominated globally and subsequently helped develop the careers of at least two dozen college players who came out of Bartlesville. Labor Day weekend marked the start of Ritchie’s 37th year heading up the Hillcrest tennis program. His journey from two-time state champion at Sapulpa High School to coaching other champions has landed Ritchie a spot in the Bartlesville Sports Hall of Fame. Ironically, his four-decade career started because his original dream – becoming a professional tournament champion – was dashed with a torn Achilles tendon during his senior year at the University of Tulsa. It slowed Ritchie down only enough to find

out what he desperately wanted to do – stay in the game one way or another. “I came up here and interviewed “ for the Hillcrest job while also considering becoming a teacher, Ritchie says. “My dad’s advice was ‘I don’t remember you ever being fond of school.’ Without tennis, I don’t think I’d have gotten through college.” Ritchie certainly has guided numerous local players into the collegiate level. From Bryan Lehman to his son J.T. Ritchie, who played at Iowa and was once ranked nationally ahead of John Isner, the elder Ritchie has helped dozens who took their games to the next level much like he did growing up decades earlier as the son of veterinarian and former Oklahoma State University tennis player T.A. “Doc” Ritchie. “I was one of 10 kids, eight boys, and my dad started the tennis program at Sapulpa,” Ritchie says. “Everybody played in high school and two of us have made a living at it. My brother Tim is the pro at Oak Tree in Edmond.” Ritchie believes his daughter Kaitlyn was the best female player he coached at Bartlesville. He continues tutoring the best players in the city, including Bartlesville sophomore Erin Epperson, who finished

in the top five in girls No. 1 singles at the 2014 state tournament. Epperson’s father and mother, Matt and Jill, applaud Ritchie for his effort in making the game accessible for as many children as possible, not just potential champions. “Instead of focusing on wins and losses, Pat encourages good sportsmanship, learning from mistakes, positive attitude, making good decisions and a strong work ethic, “ Matt Epperson says. “Pat makes tennis enjoyable for everyone regardless of ability.” Ritchie isn’t upset that Americans, aside from Serena Williams, don’t dominate tennis like they once did. “You’ve got to start young and you’ve got to hit thousands of balls a day,” he notes. “At some point it has to be a job before you’re ready to have a job.” Make no mistake about it though – Ritchie feels blessed to have tennis as a daily job. He and his wife Linda run the pro shop while he also spends four to five hours teaching the game to players of all ages. “I will enjoy hitting the ball every day,” Ritchie says.

Run the Streets and Woolaroc 8k take on the challenge

BY LORI ESSER They say to never run away from your problems. However, several at-risk and delinquent youth in Bartlesville are doing just that with the support of a running program. Run The Streets is a mentoring program using long distance running as a vehicle for change. It uses running as an alternative to youth being placed in a group facility. The program offers the gear and training with an adult mentor for youth ages 12 to 18 years to successfully complete a half marathon in twelve weeks. In its eleventh season, this program continues to increase. “We have growth in youth and mentors with 60 kids and 39 adults,” says RTS coordinator Becky Balli. “We are seeing more and more support from parents and the community.” Originally part of the YMCA and United Way, this now free-standing program meets three times a week at First Wesleyan Church where there is quick and easy access to Pathfinder Parkway. This season started on August 16 and consists 34

Bartlesville Monthly | OCTOBER 2014

of six runs including their own Woolaroc 8K and One Mile Fun Run scheduled Oct. 11 at the wildlife preserve. “In Spring 2013, the Osage Running Club asked us if we would like to take over the Woolaroc Road Race as they were worn out after 32 seasons,” says Balli. “So we have rebranded this race as a fundraiser for RTS. It’s the same great path and atmosphere, but all proceeds go to RTS.” In addition to a great race and longsleeved t-shirt, each runner also receives free admission to the Woolaroc for the day. Funding from this run goes toward RTS race fees, transportation to and from out-of-town races and running shoes personally fitted for each youth from Tulsa Runner. “Woolaroc is a very unique venue and can be challenging with all its hills,” says Balli. “There are very few 8Ks in the area as the market has been flooded with 5Ks. This brings elite runners from all over, which is a plus for us. The responses we get from other runners are unbelievable. They are so supportive and offer high fives throughout the race.” This season’s half marathon will be

in Jenks on November 8. Last season RTS youth runners had an 85 percent completion rate. A Finish Line party ends the season where all those who completed will be presented a hoodie. It has been proven that those who have completed the RTS program reoffend only 10 percent, where as those placed in a facility have a 50 percent reoffend rate. This success helps taxpayers save money in the long term as it only costs $350 to sponsor a youth for a season or $24,000 to have them sent to a facility. “We couldn’t do this program without the support of our mentors,” Balli says. “Our mentors believe in these kids and this program. They come from all kinds of professions; lawyers, judges, probation officers, teachers. They are teaching these kids life lessons and respect and are devoting 50-70 hours each and collectively over 10,000 miles a season. They are changing lives one mile at a time.” Visit
