Jenks Mayor Robert Lee Wishes Everyone Happy, Safe Fourth Of July Independence Day has always been one of my favorite holidays.

Aside from the usual cookouts and fun at the lake, it’s a particularly inspiring day. It’s a day when we celebrate our military, public safety officers, and those who gave their all to form our country.

We celebrate the courage, sacrifice, and thoughtfulness of America’s founding fathers; and of all of those who have built on their promises up to this moment. We celebrate the ideals of the Enlightenment era—equality, liberty, and reason—that helped bring about the American Revolution. We also acknowledge those who were displaced or brought to this country against their will during this time.

As we celebrate Independence Day this year, so many of these themes come into sharper focus than ever. In a year of tumult, we’re seeing historic collective sacrifice and courage; and never have we been so grateful for those who work day in and day-out to keep us safe. In a year of unrest, our society is committing itself toward equality and healing in unprecedented ways. In a year marked by new threats, never have we found more importance in the hallmarks of the Enlightenment, like science, education, and the arts.

In Jenks, we see shining examples of all of these ideals. These ideals that made our country great are exemplified by our Police Department, Fire Department, Public Works, Aquarium, City Hall staff, City Council, Chamber of Commerce, and Jenks Public Schools. These ideals are exemplified by our friends, neighbors, and businesses.

It’s a great honor to work with and serve the great people of Jenks.

My best wishes for a relaxing and safe 4th of July.

City Of Jenks, Oklahoma Aquarium Come Up Big On Fourth Of July

By Kyle Salomon

Since early March, our world has been flipped upside down. COVID-19 has ransacked the globe, the country, the state, and our city for four months and does not show many signs of stopping in the near future.

Numerous events since March have been postponed or even canceled outright.

Along with the sickness that the Coronavirus brings, it also greatly affects our mental health.

As human beings, we enjoy getting out and about in our communities and being around one another. Being active is natural to us, not sitting at home and doing nothing, which is what we did for several months. As we headed toward the summer months, questions regarding July 4 started echoing across the Tulsa area. Numerous events that happen on an annual basis celebrating our Independence Day were being canceled, including the River Parks celebration in Tulsa near the 23rd Street Bridge.

Then the rumors begin to circulate about Los Cabos Mexican Grill, who typically pays for the annual Boom Fest in Jenks was not going to be able to purchase the event this year. When those rumors became true, many began to question whether Jenks was going to cancel its celebration completely. That is when the City of Jenks, Jenks Chamber of Commerce and Oklahoma Aquarium stepped up and made sure that did not happen.

Not only will there be fireworks in Jenks on July 4 night, but there will be activities and events happening through 11 p.m.

The City of Jenks is taking care of the Boom Fest this year and purchasing the firework show that has made Jenks one of the state’s July 4 hotspots for numerous years. The Boom Fest is slated to begin at 6:30 p.m. at the Oklahoma Aquarium and run until the end of the firework show, which begins at 9:30 p.m.

Then, there is the Oklahoma Aquarium, who is stepping up as the flagship sponsor for both the Freedom Fest and Boom Fest.

The top attraction in Jenks will keep its doors open later than usual until 8:45 p.m. for anyone who wants to go see the latest and greatest the facility has to offer.

The main parking lot at the Oklahoma Aquarium will be roped off for the outdoor activities connected with the Boom Fest, but there will be parking in the grass field south of the facility. After speaking with Jenks City Manager Chris Shrout and Oklahoma Aquarium Chief Marketing Officer Andrea Leitch, there was one resounding theme amongst what they had to say.

An event like the one Jenks is putting on July 4 is much needed.

It is much needed for the people of Jenks, Tulsa and surrounding communities, who will come to celebrate. It is much needed for the businesses in Jenks and south Tulsa to get people back into their stores or restaurants again.

It would have been easy for the City of Jenks and the Chamber of Commerce to just say they are going to cancel this year’s events. In fact, the direction they chose is the more difficult path, but they didn’t choose the easy path. They chose to do what is best for our community and for our people.

For that, they deserve our thanks and our appreciation. So, thank you City of Jenks and thank you Oklahoma Aquarium for stepping up to the plate and making sure this year’s Fourth of July is even more special than in year’s past.

Boom Fest Looks To Make Noise In 2020

By Kyle Salomon

This year’s version of Boom Fest will look a little different than in year’s past, but just as much, if not more fun is anticipated. The City of Jenks has purchased the firework show for this year’s event. Los Cabos Mexican Grill, located at the Riverwalk Crossing, usually purchases the fireworks, and coordinates the Boom Fest, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the popular restaurant was unable to do so this year.

With the City of Jenks stepping up to ensure the Boom Fest will happen in 2020, most of the activities during the event will take place around the Oklahoma Aquarium. Boom Fest will begin at 6:30 p.m. with the Oklahoma Aquarium staying open later than usual until 8:45 p.m. The firework show, which will take place at its usual location on the Jenks Pedestrian Bridge, will begin at 9:30 p.m.

There will be many activities and entertainment, both inside and outside the Oklahoma Aquarium, until the fireworks begin popping. The main parking lot at the aquarium will be blocked off for the Boom Fest, but people can park in the grass field just south of the facility. There will be merchandise vendors both inside and outside at the aquarium with plenty of food and beverage options as well.

Jenks City Manager Chris Shrout said the City of Jenks is still working with the City of Tulsa on the logistics, as both the 96th Street Bridge and Pedestrian Bridge will be closed until around 11 p.m. on July 4.

“The City of Tulsa has a heightened interest in this event because the River Parks event down by the 23rd Street Bridge has been cancelled this year,” Shrout said. “We could potentially have more people on the Tulsa side of the (Arkansas) river this year, so they want to make sure to have all their bases covered.”

There are usually around 50,000 people in attendance at this event, but with other July 4 events being cancelled across the Tulsa metro area, there could be more people than usual. “This is the biggest event held in Jenks every year,” Shrout said. “It is one of our signature events and I believe with everything this country, state and city has been through, people have been looking for something to celebrate. This is an event where people can safely social-distance and still have a good time. This is important to people. It is a good opportunity for everyone, both young and old to have a good time.”

Shrout added that the economic impact the July 4 events in Jenks will be great for local businesses.

“Jenks and south Tulsa businesses really benefit from this event every year,” Shrout said. “There will be all types of activities and events going on from 10 a.m. until 11 p.m. throughout the City of Jenks. We are excited to be able to provide a patriotic and safe Fourth of July event.”

City Of Jenks Steps Up, Ensures Fireworks Will Happen

By Kyle Salomon

As COVID-19 is forcing July 4 celebrations to cancel across the state and Tulsa metro area, the City of Jenks has made the decision to move forward with its annual event. Los Cabos Mexican Restaurant typically puts on the “Boom Fest” every year, which includes the firework show that concludes the day, but this year, the City of Jenks will step up to the plate and deliver its citizens one of the more popular events of the year.

Jenks City Manager Chris Shrout said the city is working with the City of Tulsa to iron out the details for the event.

“We are still coordinating with the city of Tulsa,” Shrout said. “Even though the City of Jenks owns pedestrian bridge and 96th Street bridge, Tulsa will have to still close some lanes on Riverside Parkway. We expect more people to watch it on the Tulsa side since the River Parks event was cancelled. We are still trying to figure out how to manage that. The fireworks will benefit both city of Jenks and city of Tulsa.”

Shrout added the City of Jenks is expecting a large turnout on the Jenks side of the Arkansas River as well.

“We are anticipating quite a few people,” Shrout said. “We usually have around 50,000 people on our side. Since it is outdoors, people can still practice social distancing. Even though there will be a lot of people around, individual groups don’t have to be that big.”

Shrout said Jenks residents need something positive to celebrate after a tough spring. “People really need something to get excited about and really need something to celebrate and what better way to celebrate July 4 than with fireworks,” Shrout said. “It is a great opportunity to show our appreciation to local businesses and citizens for their support and their willingness to work with us during this pandemic. It would have been very tough on our local businesses and our citizens if we would have canceled this event this year.”

The partnership between the City of Jenks, Oklahoma Aquarium and private donors will fund the July 4 festivities.

Shrout said he anticipates the final cost of the event falling somewhere between $30,000 and $50,000.

Shrout said he believes the city is doing the right thing by having the annual July 4 celebration.

“If it’s safe according to the governor’s guidelines, and we can make it happen, we are going to make it happen.”

Wishing you a Happy Fourth of July!

Come See The New Giant Octopus Exhibit July 4 At The Oklahoma Aquarium

By Kyle Salomon

The Oklahoma Aquarium is channeling its inner-Jules Verne with its new Giant Pacific Octopus Exhibit.

The new exhibit was under construction for more than a year with nine months of that time spent building the multi-thousandgallon tank for the aquarium’s newest attraction.

The Octopus was put on display March 13 for one day before the Oklahoma Aquarium was forced to close its doors March 16 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Giant Pacific Octopus Exhibit has a “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea” theme to it, as aquarium staff was able to get specific parts for the new attraction from Total Valve Systems and U.S. Pioneer Inc., which makes parts for actual United States Navy ships.

The exhibit cost a little more than $110,000 to construct with 100% of the funding coming through fundraising. Joe and Carol McGraw are the sponsors of the attraction. This is not the first exhibit in the Oklahoma Aquarium to have the McGraw’s name on it. They were the sponsors of the beach exhibit before the new playground was built in that location last summer.

The tank in the octopus exhibit is about eight feet wide, which allows the octopus to be able to stretch its entire body when it is full grown. “The idea was to do something we hadn’t seen,” Oklahoma Aquarium Deputy Director John Money said. “We go to aquariums around the country and see Octopus tanks with similar volume, full of rocks with cracks and crevices, and he does what he does, disappears. They always tend to do these big exhibits and people always ask where the Octopus is. We wanted to make sure wherever he is, you can see him.”

With the “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea” style, a lot of look-alike brass and copper is needed. The aquarium could not use real brass or copper because those are toxic to an Octopus.

Several staff members traveled to Pennsylvania to learn how to cast molds and use right proxies and paints at a company called Smooth On. The aquarium staff was able to recreate the items that were going into the exhibit and made sure it was safe for the Octopus.

“Everyone did a lot of great work on this,” Oklahoma Aquarium Director of Exhibits Phil Tate said. “The tank took about nine months to put together and the whole exhibit took about a year.”

The lifespan of an Octopus is three-to-five years and it takes the aquarium staff about a year to prepare the animal to be able to show. The current Octopus is around a year-and-a-half. It was eight pounds when it arrived at the aquarium, 17 pounds when it was put in the tank in the exhibit, is now around 20 pounds and it will get bigger.

Oklahoma Aquarium, Jenks Chamber Hosts ‘Sharklahoma’ In July The Oklahoma Aquarium and the Jenks Chamber of Commerce are hosting their second annual “Sharklahoma,” a month-long celebration of all-things shark, with events at the aquarium and several other businesses throughout Jenks.

Sharklahoma takes place throughout the month of July at the aquarium with weekly behind-the-scenes shark feed tours; a screening of Jaws with aquarium biologists debunking myths; Shipley the Shark mascot visits to local businesses; talks with celebrity shark experts; a staff shark dive; and more. Other community events include: Jenks America Freedom Fest; Boomfest, a fireworks show sponsored by the Oklahoma Aquarium; a screening of Finding Nemo at The Hive; and more.

The Oklahoma Aquarium is home to the world’s largest collection of bull sharks in the world. Ten of the “most dangerous sharks known to man” inhabit a 380,000-gallon saltwater tank and tunnel, along with three nurse sharks. This immersive exhibit allows visitors the chance to walk through tunnels beneath and alongside some of the most beautiful and deeply misunderstood creatures in the sea. This exhibit, amongst others, has earned the Oklahoma Aquarium media attention from around the globe. The bull sharks have also participated in important research projects to help humans and other sharks in captivity.

“The Oklahoma Aquarium is grateful to the community and guests from around the world for their support of our nonprofit, particularly our sharks,” said Andrea Leitch, Chief Marketing Officer of the Oklahoma Aquarium. “Sharklahoma allows us to partner with the community, while also raising awareness about importance of sharks and their ecological and economic impact.”

The Oklahoma Aquarium will also host its second annual contest where one lucky diver will swim with the largest collection of bull sharks in the world on Friday, July 26. The grand finale of Sharklahoma will give one contest winner the opportunity to swim with the sharks in the world-renowned tank. The winner will wear a 20-pound, $6,000 chain mail suit, and a GoPro to swim alongside scuba-certified aquarium staff.

Bull sharks are best known for their aggressive behavior and are considered to be one of the most dangerous species.

They are found in warm shallow water but can also be found swimming in freshwater rivers. Bull sharks can live up to 16 years in the wild and can grow from seven to 11.5 feet, weighing between 200-500 pounds. Currently, 10 bull sharks swim in the exhibit.

Since opening in 2003, the Oklahoma Aquarium has been a great source of pride and economic growth for the city of Jenks.

“The Oklahoma Aquarium has played an undeniable role in the development of Jenks,” said Josh Driskell, President and CEO of the Jenks Chamber of Commerce. “We’re excited to be able to partner with the Aquarium for this programming to raise awareness of shark conservation, the Aquarium and Jenks.”

Together, the Oklahoma Aquarium and the Jenks Chamber of Commerce hope to enhance the visitor experience to the area, particularly educating locals and visitors alike about the importance of shark conservation.

Happy Fourth of July!

Fire Chief Discusses Firework Safety As July 4 Nears

By Kyle Salomon July 4 is one of the most exciting times of the year, as we as a nation get to celebrate our independence. However, the main way Americans celebrate their freedom is considered one of the most dangerous activities a person can do.

Fireworks are fun, exciting and most of the time beautiful to look at, but Jenks Fire Chief Greg Ostrum said they can be very dangerous.

“The best firework safety is to leave it to the professionals,” Ostrum said. “This has been our stance for a long time. Every year, approximately 20,000 fires in the United States are started from fireworks. There are nearly 10,000 firework-related injuries in the United States every year. The danger always goes up around the Fourth of July because of how dry it usually is, and it is no different this year. Most firework injuries come from the fireworks that most people deem to be the safest.”

Ostrum said if you are going to use fireworks personally, make sure the surface where you are lighting them is not flammable and to make sure the firework is safe to throw away because a lot of fires occur after the fireworks happen.

For example, sparklers are a fan favorite when talking about personal use fireworks, but there are many sparkler-related injuries every year, according to Ostrum. The fire chief recommends using glow sticks instead of sparklers because sparklers get up to 1,200 degrees.

Other July 4 celebration recommendations instead of fireworks include noise makers, an outdoor movie night, red, white, and blue silly string, patriotic crafting with the family or throwing a birthday party for the United States.

“More than 44% of burns throughout one year happen around the July 4 holiday,” Ostrum said. “Children ages 10-14 have the highest rate of firework-related injury.”

The City of Jenks is allowing fireworks to be used from noon to 11 p.m. July 3 and noon to 11 p.m. July 4. The entire Jenks Fire Department will be working July 4 to help with the events in town and be ready to take calls if an accident occurs within the city.

MORE PETS GET LOST ON JULY 4TH THAN ANY OTHER DAY OF THE YEAR Be sure your dawg is wearing an up-to-date and visible ID tag on their collar at all times.

Take a current photo of your dawg, just in case If your dawg is afraid of loud noises, leave gentle music playing to cover the fireworks.

Jenks Says No Fireworks After 11 P.m. July 3, 4 …

Citizens Should Abide

By Kyle Salomon

July 4 is one of my favorite holidays of the year.

It is a time where we can all come together and celebrate our freedoms that we take for granted every day.

The way we celebrate our Independence Day is great as well. Fireworks are a great thing. They are fun, exciting, beautiful, and loud. Needless to say, there is no better way to celebrate July 4 than with fireworks.

As you may have noticed, firework stands are going up left and right all across the Tulsa area. Most are run by local organizations that will use the money they raise for a good cause, so I highly recommend purchasing your fireworks from a local stand if you are planning on setting off your own fireworks next week.

Jenks will also have its annual Boom Fest near the Arkansas River on July 4, so if you live in or around the Jenks community, you are covered with your firework desires.The City of Jenks does not allow fireworks to be used throughout the year except around July 4 and New Year’s. This year, the City of Jenks is allowing its residents to set off their own fireworks from noon to 11 p.m. July 3 and noon to 11 p.m. July 4.

Jenks Fire Chief Greg Ostrum would rather Jenks citizens not set off their own fireworks and leave it to the professionals, but he understands the joy and excitement fireworks bring. The Jenks Fire Department will be on full alert that weekend to help anyone who might get hurt or do property damage due to fireworks.

If you are a parent or one who enjoys setting off their own fireworks, I would make sure safety is the top priority. The Jenks Fire Department is always glad to help if needed, but they will be stretched thin that day with the Freedom Fest and Boom Fest going on in downtown Jenks. Do not make their lives more difficult by having to call them for an accident caused by fireworks.

There is one topic I would like to discuss regarding fireworks. If you do decide you want to set off your own fireworks, please follow the rules and do not continue to set them off after 11 p.m. both nights. Those laws are in place for a reason, to keep you safe and the later in the night it gets, the more dangerous it becomes shooting off fireworks in neighborhoods.

Remember, there are families of all ages and sizes in Jenks and those with younger children, who go to bed early, need to be able to do so in peace. Having to listen to fireworks until the early morning hours is not something Jenks residents should have to do.

Pets are also something to think about when it comes to shooting off fireworks after the legal time. Animals do not understand what fireworks are and making a pet nervous and anxious because fireworks are being set off after 11 p.m. is also something Jenks residents should not have to do. I am all for having a good time and celebrating the Fourth of July in a big way, but the City of Jenks allows us the proper amount of time to do so and then it is time to shut it down.

Have fun, celebrate hard, but be respectful and do what is right. Trust me, it is possible to have fun and follow the rules.

Let’s make that happen this year Jenks.
