We all recognize January as a month of new beginnings. But stuck at the end of the year as it is, December is usually for wrapping things up — both ﬁguratively and literally, where holiday gifts are concerned.

This year is a bit different for my family and for all of Tulsa. God willing, the Phillips household will welcome an early Christmas gift this month with the arrival of our second child. By the time you’re reading this, I’ve hopefully purchased and wrapped presents for those on my shopping list. If not, sorry: Those of you remaining will either receive a gift card or a lump of coal this year. Or you can hold my baby.

TulsaPeople DECEMBER 2016

December 2016 also marks another fresh start: G.T. Bynum will be sworn in as Tulsa’s 40th mayor. Many are aware of Bynum’s family ties to the mayor’s office, and they’ve seen his years of service on the Tulsa City Council. But what about the team that will help him manage the day-to-day challenges of the position? We wanted to meet those individuals. You can find out more about Bynum’s staff and his mayoral priorities on p. 29. Although a lot will change this month — especially in the wake of the 2016 presidential election — some things never will. For example, I’ll always need a crowdpleasing recipe for a gathering of family or friends, and Food Editor Natalie Mikles delivers with her feature on p. 33. Every year, December in Tulsa offers a plethora of holiday activities, and 2016 is no exception. The proof is scattered throughout this issue, most notably in our Holiday Guide starting on p. 51. This city has always run on hard work and talent. See what musician Charlie

Redd has been up to (p. 14), and meet Japanese ink brush painter Shawn Wilson (p. 16). Plus, find out how five more Tulsa artists balance their creative crafts and their day jobs (p. 45). Another thing that never changes: Tulsans’ generosity. Carol White is a perfect example (p. 84). For more than 20 years, she has gathered and donated truckloads of clothing and other items for some of the neediest local families. Perhaps her donations — or yours — this season will help give someone a fresh start before the calendar rolls over. Whatever traditions or new experiences this month holds for you, we at TulsaPeople wish you the happiest of holidays and a very merry Christmas. TP

Annie Ellicott “LONESOME GOLDMINE”

Charlie Redd spreads love through music. BY LINDSEY NEAL KUYKENDALL

or 20 years, bass player, singer and bandleader Charlie Redd has called himself a Tulsan. But Redd brings the “flava” of his past homes — San Antonio and Austin, Texas; Japan; Hong Kong; and his birthplace, Los Angeles — to the music he makes in Oklahoma and beyond. Though he recently provided background vocals to greats including Jimmy Vaughan, Charlie Sexton and Robert Plant, even participating in a superband of legends at the most recent Austin Music Awards, Redd might be most well-known in Tulsa for his funk-pop band Full Flava Kings. The band’s lead singer and bassist, Redd describes his music career as a sequence of opportunities. From joining the Tulsa-based band Freak Show in the 1990s, which first moved him to Oklahoma, and then hitting the road with Vaughan and Eric Clapton, he now travels in stints with Full Flava Kings. “My music is inspired by everything I hear,” Redd says. “The Beatles; Earth, Wind and Fire; Stevie Wonder; Prince; Jimi Hendrix at the top of the list of artists. Gospel, jazz, blues, rock ’n’ roll,

classical, reggae. So many different influences.” Redd has quietly done much for the local music community; not only by entertaining locals and creating amazing dance floors for audiences, but also by engaging local musicians and providing them a much-needed stepping stone. For example, Branjae Jackson of Branjae and the Filthy Animals and Count Tutu launched into the Tulsa music scene in recent years after honing her skills with Full Flava Kings. “Full Flava is not just Kings. It’s also Queens,” Redd says. “A lot of people have come in this band as protégés, then gone on to have their own success. Some major success. “It’s almost like an institution. (Musicians) learn how to run the business. (I) always share any information I can.” One lesson he hopes to impart is the importance of musical themes. “I would like to encourage new artists, especially in the hip-hop genre, to focus on more positive, inspiring and encouraging messages. Take responsibility for what you’re writing and sending out to the world.” TP

On May 24, he self-released his latest album, an electronica-heavy sequel to his 2015 release, “Sounds of Solitude.” His sound — which features a variety of acoustic and electronic instruments — harkens to bands such as Plaid or Telefon Tel Aviv, while complex layered time signatures, Rhodes piano and blended synth have the jazz fusion qualities of Bernie Worrell, Weather Report, Flying Lotus and Thundercat.

ART AROUND TOWN

PAINTS LIKE LIGHTNING Artist continues her family’s creative legacy through a Japanese technique. BY LAURA DENNIS

PIECE: “TRACE” at the Center of the Universe in the Brady Arts District. It is the second art installment by the Urban Core Art Project Initiative, a nonproﬁt established to bring temporary, siteinspired art to public spaces in Tulsa.

TulsaPeople DECEMBER 2016

BRAINS BEHIND THE BRIGHT IDEA: Geoffrey Hicks and Grace Grothaus Grimm created the LED brick walkway in May to surprise passersby and give them a moment of joy.

Shawn Wilson practices the art of sumi-é.

the paintbrush is loaded, the painter can achieve variations in tonality, stroke width and shading with the use of different pressure points. “It is absolutely meditational,” Wilson says. “You have to paint like lighting because you’re painting with rice paper, which is so porous, it’s like painting on toilet paper.” In the early 2000s, Wilson brought her love of sumi-é back to Tulsa. Her work is on display locally at the Joseph Gierek Gallery, but Wilson aspires to do more. “I hope to get a commission of some kind,” she says. “That would be my dream: a nice big commission.” TP

HOW THEY DID IT: Each LED paver is individually cast in resin, containing circuitry and software created by the artists through a nearly yearlong collaboration from inception to fabrication. The bricks charge daily via solar panels and light up at dusk. “When stepped on, the bricks illuminate a brilliant blue to visitors,” Grothaus Grimm says. “Moments later they echo blue again, capturing the movements of pedestrians — a ﬂeeting visual record of those who walked the path moments before.” THEIR VISION: It was created as a contribution to Tulsa’s revitalization and economic development by bringing whimsical beauty to a public space while engaging people to rethink their surroundings in a fresh way.

reative talent runs in the family for professional painter Shawn Wilson. As the niece of renowned artist Charles Banks Wilson and daughter and granddaughter of successful jazz horn players, it’s no revelation the Miami, Oklahoma, native took an early interest in the arts. She recalls her uncle’s influence on her passion to paint as a young teen. “He had a wonderful studio above the Wilson paint store,” Wilson reminisces of her grandparents’ shop in Miami, Oklahoma. “He showed me all about stretching and preparing canvas, and he was always ready to answer my questions.” After high school, Wilson moved to New York City to pursue a career in fine art. She found work with Time Magazine in the graphics department and had her first big break when the New Yorker purchased several of her pen-to-ink drawings. But she says what “really set her on fire” was discovering sumi-é, a Japanese ink brush technique that is at least 2,000 years old. Wilson describes sumi-é as a subtle, minimalist art form — much like a martial art with a brush. The craft requires an ink stone, ink stick, a paintbrush and rice paper. While the ink stone holds a well for mixing, the ink stick is used to repetitively grind until a desired ink concentration is reached. Paintbrush bristles are thick at the base and gradually taper to a fine point, so once

BRIGHT NEW FUTURE VALERIE GRANT

nown for its ornate art deco façade, the Beacon Building has long been a central structure of downtown’s Oil Capital Historic District. In fact, the exterior still closely resembles photographs from the 1920s. The building is being updated to accommodate new tenants, but great care has been taken to retain its historic character, says Brittany Sawyer, spokeswoman for the investor group Beacon Building Properties LLC.

Until the 1970s, a 65-foot lighthouse topped the Beacon. The tower symbolized its longtime tenant, the Beacon Life Insurance Co., and served as an aircraft navigational aid. Interestingly, the lens of the original light tower was recently discovered in the basement, and the building’s owners are looking into its possible restoration, Sawyer says. Unfortunately, the wooden lighthouse itself is irreparable. See the next page for more on the Beacon Building. TP

THE WAY WE WERE

DOWNTOWN BEACON Historic building receives major updates.

he 93-year-old Beacon Building is shining a new light in the downtown business district. Purchased in 2015 by a local property group, the nine-story, art deco building at 406 S. Boulder Ave. is undergoing renovations and bringing in new tenants. In an interesting twist, its largest new tenant is an insurance company. The occupancy harkens back to the Beacon’s original tenant: the Beacon Life Insurance Co., marked by a flashing 65-foot lighthouse beacon on the building’s northeast corner. Renowned Tulsa oilman and philanthropist Waite Phillips was the Beacon’s first owner. He retained the building among his last Tulsa possessions before leaving the city. He donated it to the Southwest Art Association in 1942 on the condition that its income from monthly rent be utilized to fund the Philbrook Museum of Art, which it did for 27 years.

TulsaPeople DECEMBER 2016

An undated photo of the building, which was constructed in 1923

In 1983, a City of Tulsa electrical transformer exploded in an underground vault in the basement, followed by a second similar explosion of a replacement transformer six months later. The explosions spilled polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and the building was deemed unsafe. In 1988, after frequent testing and thorough cleaning, the building received a clean bill of health.

Its new owners, Beacon Building Properties LLC, bought it and the adjacent 64-space parking lot for $4.3 million, with an eye on retaining the unique look and character of the building, according to Daniel Schulte, one of the investors. “By investing in the infrastructure and adding upgrades, we are preserving the historic character and trying to restore the way the Beacon Building felt in the ’20s,” Schulte says. In October, the building, which is comprised of mainly office space, was approximately 70 percent occupied. Insurance firm Insurica will expand to the fifth floor and part of the eighth floor, according to Brittany Sawyer, spokeswoman for the investor group. A coffee shop was recently added to the first floor. Approximately $1 million more in renovations, including a gym for tenants in the basement, are expected to be complete by Jan. 1, according to Sawyer. TP

AIRPORT EXHIBIT TELLS HISTORY OF GREENWOOD DISTRICT “The Greenwood Experience” at Tulsa International Airport

When Portland native Bill White moved to Tulsa seven years ago, he was shocked to see little effort being made to communicate the history and inﬂuence of the city’s Black Wall Street before and after its destruction in the 1921 Tulsa Race Riot. White had an idea to create an exhibit about Black Wall Street at the gateway for many visitors to Tulsa: the Tulsa International Airport. Two years later, he led a team of individuals and organizations to launch a four-paneled exhibit, “The Greenwood Experience,” in the airport’s Schwab Hall pre-security area near the rental car counters. “I wasn’t sure how people were going to react,” says White, noting the varying opinions he received on “how much or how little” to tell of one of the darkest points in Tulsa’s history. “The intention is to show what Black Wall Street was, what it can be today and how we as a city can move it forward.” Since the exhibit opened in August, White says he has received only positive feedback. “The Greenwood Experience” will be on display at its current location through January. White says it will then travel to another spot in TIA or possibly to area universities.

These interviews were ﬁlmed and produced by Circle Cinema in 2004 and 2016. In addition, live music will be played on the theater’s 1928 pipe organ, and a World War II military exhibit by Keith Meyers will be on display in the gallery. Circle Cinema is located at 12 S. Lewis Ave. This event is free and open to the public. Visit circlecinema.com for more details.

The Great Places in America program recognizes U.S. streets, neighborhoods and public spaces that demonstrate exceptional character, quality and planning. The APA calls the Green “an example of the successful conversion of a blighted industrial site into a vibrant urban community space that helps drive economic development in a formerly sleepy downtown neighborhood.”

Thirty years later, he resides in Washington, D.C., and serves as liaison to the nation’s veteran and active military communities as the director of military and veteran affairs under the Obama administration. Stiner is proud of his Broken Arrow upbringing with his two younger brothers that centered on church, school, sports and a family legacy of military service. Following high school graduation in 2000, Stiner enlisted in the Marines. He served until 2004, graduated with honors from boot camp, earned the Combat Action Ribbon for fighting in Iraq and taught water survival and martial arts. He then returned to Tulsa to attend Tulsa Community College under the GI Bill. Stiner attributes his success to mentors and role models in his life, including former Tulsa Mayor Kathy Taylor, who hired him fresh out of college to work on military and veterans’ issues at the municipal level. “She really taught and showed me the value

of public service and the impact you can make on people’s lives,” Stiner says. “I take tremendous pride that I helped drive, then run, the Tulsa Veterans Treatment Court (for veterans who have been arrested), which was the third such program in the nation that became a national model.” While finishing his master’s degree in Tulsa, Stiner received a fortuitous phone call. It led to a job in D.C. working with the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs Chief of Staff Rob Nabors and Secretary Robert McDonald. Stiner doubts he will remain in his current position with the Trump administration; after Jan. 9 he will have to find a new job. However, he says he has accomplished everything he set out to do at the White House. “The experience has been absolutely amazing,” he says. “I never thought I would sit in the Oval Office for meetings with the president or fly on Air Force One or, most importantly, have the opportunity to continue serving at the highest level. “I learned early in my career that I have a passion for serving others, and satisfaction for me involves working hard for the betterment of people’s lives.” Although his future is unclear, that is exactly what Stiner plans to continue doing.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

Samantha Elauf will receive the Woody Guthrie Center’s Oklahoma Changing World Prize on Dec. 4.

WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO ...

THE STEVE’S SUNDRY SODA FOUNTAIN?

Tulsan is recognized for taking a stand against religious discrimination. BY DAVID HARPER

amantha Elauf didn’t set out to be a role model. It just turned out that way when her successful fight against discrimination went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court and made international headlines. This month, Elauf ’s determination will be recognized by the Woody Guthrie Center when she receives the Oklahoma Changing World Prize on Dec. 4. The award honors those who carry on the legendary Oklahoma musician’s legacy of fighting for social justice. When the controversy that put Elauf in the global spotlight began, she was just a teenager looking for a job. Elauf, a Muslim, wore her hijab — a religiously mandated headscarf — to an employment interview. “I had never been discriminated against before,” she recalls of her experience in June 2008 when she was not hired at an Abercrombie Kids store at Woodland Hills Mall. The 2009 lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on Elauf ’s behalf alleged that Abercrombie and Fitch practiced religious discrimination against Elauf. “I didn’t really know what I was signing up for,”

TulsaPeople DECEMBER 2016

Elauf says of her involvement in the lawsuit, “but I wasn’t doing it for myself. I was doing it for anyone who has been discriminated against.” In 2011, a Tulsa federal jury awarded Elauf $20,000 in compensatory damages. However, an appellate court overturned the award. Ultimately, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled for Elauf in 2015, finding the company at least suspected Elauf wore the scarf for religious reasons, and its decision not to hire her was motivated by a desire to avoid accommodating her religious practice. A lifelong Tulsan, Elauf says the award she will receive this month is especially meaningful because it comes from the local community. “I didn’t realize there was this amount of support here,” she says. “I’m thankful for being acknowledged. It’s a reminder that what I stood up for is appreciated.” Elauf, 26, now works as a manager at another clothing store at the same mall. She says many Muslim women have told her that her stand has given them the courage to wear their headscarves in a professional setting without fear. “They tell me I inspired them to stand up for their rights,” Elauf says.

The soda fountain was recently part of a 1930s exhibit at the Tulsa Historical Society and Museum. Joanie Stephenson’s father-in-law, F.W. “Steve” Stephenson, purchased the fountain from Quaker Drug store in 1947.

hen Steve’s Sundry Books and Magazines closed in 2013 after 66 years in business, many wondered what would happen to its iconic soda fountain. On loan from its owner, Joanie Stephenson, the fountain was on display through August 2016 as part of the Tulsa Historical Society and Museum’s 1930s exhibit. Stephenson says Tulsa historian Michael Wallis approached her about giving the soda fountain a permanent home inside the Route 66 Experience museum, set to open at Southwest Boulevard and Riverside Drive in 2018. She agreed. Until the museum is completed, the fountain is in storage. “My understanding and hope is that it will be a fully functioning soda fountain again with the original chairs and fountain,” Stephenson says. — MORGAN PHILLIPS

I THINK I KNOW WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU BY CONNIE CRONLEY Abraham Lincoln

do think I know what’s wrong with you. This is despite the fact that I have no training in medicine, psychiatry, psychology or even sociology. In college I studied the plays of Eugene O’Neill, modern poetry and how to write a news story in the inverted pyramid style. I understood only two of those three things. Fine, I thought, leave something for the other students. What I did learn in college was a deeper love of books. Spending so much time reading is why my bills are often late, skirts have torn hems — taped instead of repaired — and boxes for Goodwill are still piled in the hall. It’s all because of books. One of the books I’ve been reading has enlightened me about mental ailments. “Andy Warhol was a Hoarder” might not sound like a scholarly publication, and it’s not, but, oh, how interesting. This is the book that has given me confidence to diagnose other people. Author Claudia Kalb analyzed 12 of history’s great personalities and came to interesting conclusions: • Marilyn Monroe probably had borderline personality disorder. • Albert Einstein likely had Asperger’s syndrome, a form of autism. • George Gershwin had attention-deficit hyperactive disorder.

TulsaPeople DECEMBER 2016

Marilyn Monroe

• Abraham Lincoln might have had clinical depression. This raises the question of a connection between mental maladies, including addiction, and creativity and genius. Do people have to be a little nuts to create works of art, solve scientific riddles or become a business titan? Is a mental blip the grain of sand in the brain that creates a pearl? If all of us have quirks, how much is needed to be brilliant? How much is too much, making our lives unmanageable and the lives of our friends and families unabridged hell? When do we just drop it? James Thurber’s 1937 book “Let Your Mind Alone” was his playful poke at popular self-help and psychology books of the time. Kalb lays out some convincing evidence of her analyses, gives a broader discussion of each specific ailment and then considers how modern medical treatment might have altered history. Fyodor Dostoevsky’s gambling disorder wrecked his personal life several times even as he wrote masterpieces, including his book about compulsive gambling, “The Gambler.” Einstein was a social misfit from childhood. He didn’t speak until he was 3 years old, then he habitually repeated sentences to himself. He flew into such rages, he once threw a bowling ball at his sister’s head. He did not connect well with other people; he did poorly in school; he was more in-

George Gershwin

terested in things and thinking. In adulthood, Einstein was disinterested in personal grooming and disheveled in dress. Even in winter, he often went without socks. (Disclaimer: I have male colleagues who do not wear socks, but I am not going to diagnose them.) And yet, his disengagement in social mores gave him powers of intense concentration. Hence, his genius. Gershwin was hyperactive as a boy — restless and inattentive, quick to street fighting. As an adult, he walked and talked fast. In conversation, he made staccato beats with his left hand. Today, his inattention, hyperactivity and impulsiveness might be diagnosed as ADHD. Which raises a question: When do we leave our minds alone? Would Gershwin have written “Rhapsody in Blue” if he were taking Ritalin? And when do we leave other people’s minds alone? If the person is happy and not hurting himself or others, should we try to rope and medicate them? Several years ago, a popular psychological selfhelp seminar swept through here. I think at the break the participants were sent out to recruit friends. Three people telephoned me in succession to say, “You really need this program.” Three people. Wow. Then I remembered the joke, “If I talk to God, that is called praying. If God talks to me, it’s called schizophrenia.” And I went back to my gardening. TP

READY TO WORK As Mayor-elect G.T. Bynum prepares to take ofﬁce, he readies his staff and aligns his priorities for Tulsa. BY TIM LANDES

MAYOR-ELECT G.T. BYNUM SAYS HE GAVE HIMSELF ONE night to celebrate his June 28 election victory over incumbent Mayor Dewey Bartlett. The celebration went into the early hours, but when he awoke at 5 a.m., Bynum was ready to go to work to be fully prepared when he’s sworn into ofﬁce Dec. 5. In reality, his work began immediately after accepting Bartlett’s phone call conceding the race. In the three weeks after the election, Bynum and his business partner went through the legal process for Bynum to leave Capitol Ventures, the consulting company he founded. “I had said during the campaign that I’d be a full-time mayor and that starts with the transition,” Bynum explains. “This is a business I started on my own ... just two weeks after my daughter was born, so I’ve always thought in terms of watching her and it grow. It was a little bittersweet to leave it behind, but I’m just so excited to get into the mayor’s job. I’m leaving one good thing for another one.” TulsaPeople.com

TEAM BYNUM Brandon Oldham, mayor’s aide; Kimberly Madden, mayor’s executive aide; Michael Junk, deputy mayor; James Wagner, chief of performance strategy; G.T. Bynum; Jack Blair, chief of staff; Amy Brown, deputy chief of staff; Jonathan Townsend, assistant to the mayor for community development and policy; Christina Starzl Mendoza, assistant to the mayor for community development and policy; and Nick Doctor, chief of community development and policy.

Bynum’s Tulsa roots run through the mayor’s office. His great-great grandfather, R.N. Bynum, was Tulsa’s second mayor. His grandfather, Robert J. LaFortune, served as mayor from 1970-1978, and his cousin, Bill LaFortune, served as mayor from 2002-2006. Even Bynum’s current Philtower office has ties to the mayor’s office. Bynum says it was for many years occupied by Tulsa’s 30th mayor, James M. Hewgley Jr., who rented the space following his departure from the mayor’s office. “This was his office for decades,” Bynum says. “It happened to be available, so we thought, ‘That’s good karma,’ because he was such a great man. We knew we could work out of his office for a few months and put us on a good path to City Hall.” Bynum has spent a lot of time reading biographies of various presidents to learn how they handled their transitions into office. He jokes that there aren’t many books that provide in-

sight into the transition from citizen to mayor. Because of the city charter’s change to non-partisan elections four years ago, there is a fivemonth gap between election and installation. “I came across this great quote about (Abraham) Lincoln, where he referred to creating his staff after being elected as a constantly shifting crossword puzzle because one decision impacts all these others,” Bynum says. “As soon as you change that decision, it makes other things move around, which is definitely the case. The great thing about having so much time is it has allowed us to be very deliberate and very mindful with each ask and each hire.” (At press time, Bynum had hired 10 staff members. More on that on the next page.) When it comes to running the mayor’s office, Bynum is comfortable and ready to work on policies. He credits his time working in Sen. Don Nickles’ and Sen. Tom Coburn’s offices and his eight years on the city council in preparing him for that aspect of his job.

Just because he hasn’t taken ofﬁce yet doesn’t mean Bynum isn’t pounding the pavement. He describes a typical day in the life of a full-time dad and mayor-elect.

It’s the management of thousands of employees that is a big challenge for Bynum entering the mayor’s office. That’s why he reached out to a lot of CEOs from major companies in Tulsa for advice. “Thankfully, all of them have been incredibly generous with their time and offering to provide me their advice on how you run an enterprise, how you make it a great place for the employees and how you stay focused on your mission. “I’ve met with Chet Cadieux at QuikTrip, Steven Bradshaw at Bank of Oklahoma and Randy Foutch with Laredo and have a number of others to meet with. It has been incredibly helpful.” As soon as Bynum and his team step into the mayor’s office, they will have a lot of work to do in a short amount of time. Bynum has met with all the former mayors since winning his election. He says the biggest piece of advice has been the same across the board. “What I learned from all of them is your first 100 days are so important to set the tone for the whole administration, so we’ve spent a lot of time looking at things, “ Bynum says. “We’re fortunate that I ran on a pretty specific agenda from a policy standpoint. I ran on making us nationally competitive, changing our relationship with the county, changing the way we work with the schools and doing more to make sure kids in north Tulsa have the same opportunities as kids in the rest of the city.” It’s the last point that helped ignite Bynum’s urgency in running for mayor. A father of two, he says reading a report on the life expectancy of north Tulsa children was the catalyst in his decision to seek the mayor’s office. “It was when I heard the life expectancy disparity between a kid that’s born in north Tulsa and a kid born in south Tulsa is 12 years,” Bynum says. “If you heard someone’s being robbed of 12 years of their life, that’s terrible.” The obligation he feels to improve that statistic is rooted in more than just civic improvements. “My first thought was, ‘What if those are my kids?’” Bynum asks. “The parents of those kids love their kids just as much as I do. Who is trying to help them? Who is doing their part to change that? They ought to have a mayor who’s doing everything possible to change that.” Bynum says he has four years to do his best possible job. After that, he and his wife will decide whether he will run again and then leave it to the voters. During his campaign, Bynum said he would serve a max of two terms if all goes as planned. “I have no idea what I’m going to do eight years from now,” Bynum says. “I didn’t have any idea eight years ago what I’d be doing right now. I didn’t know 18 months ago what I’d be doing right now. “I didn’t run for this to climb a ladder. I ran for this because I love this city and I love the job of mayor. It’s a dream come true to have been elected. Now I want to be the best mayor of Tulsa. That’s my only focus, and you’ll see that in the work that we do.” TP

MEET THREE OF THE MAYOR’S TOP STAFFERS Tulsa’s city charter allows the mayor to hire up to 17 atwill positions in his office. Mayor-elect G.T. Bynum says in reality the budget makes it possible for him to hire six to eight people to fill his staff. No one from the previous administration will remain on staff. Bynum says everyone did a great job, but there was a clear mandate for change in the election, so they will start with a clean slate. Two positions, deputy mayor and chief of staff, were filled immediately since they would inform future hires. Bynum says all other positions were filled well before he becomes mayor so his team can immediately go to work.

To prepare for making his staff appointments, Bynum studied books about leaders, including Steve Jobs and a couple of highly successful coaches. “When you think of successful leadership, you have to look at successful coaches,” Bynum says. “Both Bill Belichick and Mike Kryzewski, they don’t say, ‘Here’s my system, and I’m going to find people to fit. I need a square peg to fit in a square hole.’ They go and find the best players they can, and then they develop their system around them. “I wanted to find the best people I could and figure out what job might work. We have visited with a number of people in that regard.”

MICHAEL JUNK, DEPUTY MAYOR

Duties: Responsible for the City’s partnerships with federal, state and tribal governments. Background: Manager for Bynum’s mayoral campaign; former state policy director for Sen. James Inhofe.

As soon as he received Bartlett’s concession, Bynum pulled Junk aside to ask him to be deputy mayor. “It’s a role some mayors have used and others have not,” Bynum says. “In my mind, the use of it is really speciﬁc to his skill set, which is having someone that can go work with our federal delegation and our state government in leveraging other resources that are available to improve the City of Tulsa.” Junk worked in the U.S. Senate for a decade in the ofﬁces of Sens. Tom Coburn and Jim Inhofe. “He also will be my other set of eyes and ears when commitments require my attendance in more than one place at a time,” Bynum adds.

JACK BLAIR, CHIEF OF STAFF

Duties: Working together, he and Deputy Chief of Staff Amy Brown will assist in the day-to-day administration of the City. Background: Current policy administrator for the Tulsa City Council; previously worked as an assistant attorney general for the Muscogee Creek Nation.

Less than 24 hours after Bynum won, he called Blair to request a meeting before the next council meeting. “Of course, classic Jack, he thought I wanted to meet with him to get research on what other people had budgeted in the mayor’s ofﬁce, never thinking I wanted to ask him to come on board,” Bynum says. “So, I met with him and he had all this research put together, and I told him, ‘I think you and I have worked so well on the council, I can’t imagine being mayor without you on the team. I’d really like you to come be chief of staff.’ He very correctly wanted some time to talk to his wife about it and think about it. Then he said he was on board.”

AMY BROWN, DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF

Duties: In tandem with Blair, she will assist in day-to-day operations. Background: Formerly Bynum’s aide on the Tulsa City Council; currently completing her law degree at the University of Tulsa; previously worked in Mayor Kathy Taylor’s administration.

“Amy brings an in-depth understanding of the City’s operations, its land use policies, its policy development processes and my thinking on virtually every area of City governance,” Bynum says. On Nov. 6, Bynum announced the remainder of his team members: former Mayor Kathy Taylor, chief of economic development; James Wagner, chief of performance strategy and innovation; Nick Doctor, chief of community development and policy; Jonathan Townsend, assistant to the mayor for community development and policy; Christina Starzl Mendoza, assistant to the mayor for community development and policy; Kimberly Madden, mayor’s executive aide; and Brandon Oldham, mayor’s aide.

It all happened so quickly I was at an appointment and stepped out because I couldn’t catch my breath. My inhaler wasn’t working. Gasping for air, I suddenly felt myself sliding down the wall. Someone called 911, and I was taken by ambulance to Hillcrest South. After a quick examination, the specially trained Emergency Department team identified the problem and worked to open my airway. I was having a life-threatening asthma attack caused by an allergic reaction. While treating me, the caring staff kept me calm and reassured me that I would be okay.

COOKIE EXCHANGE

Molten Lava Cookies This is it: your ticket to the annual cookie exchange. A rich chocolate cookie filled with Nutella — the one everyone will be talking about. The first cookie exchange I went to was years ago at my friend Kim’s house, and I loved bringing home a collection of cookies — some of which I never would have thought to make myself. When it comes to a cookie exchange, it’s fun to step out of the box a little with a new recipe to share with friends. Trust me, they will love this one. Makes about 18 cookies 1 cup unsalted butter, softened 1 ½ cup brown sugar, packed 2 large eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 cups all-purpose flour ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder ½ teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 cup granulated sugar 1 cup Nutella ¼ cup coarse sugar In a mixing bowl, beat butter and brown sugar at medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stop to scrape sides of bowl. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat well after each. Beat in vanilla. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa, salt and baking powder. Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture. Shape dough into a disk, cover with plastic and refrigerate 2 hours. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sprinkle board with granulated sugar. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie. Place on top of sugar on work surface, and roll into balls, then flatten into 4-inch rounds using a rolling pin. Refrigerate 15 minutes. Place 1 tablespoon Nutella in middle of each cookie. Pull up edges of dough, pinching closed to surround filling. Place on parchment-lined cookie sheet, pinched-side down. Sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until firm to touch. Remove from cookie sheets to cool.

Place balls of dough 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Flatten slightly with the bottom of a glass. Place in freezer, freezing until firm, about 15 minutes. Bake 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool a minute before removing from cookie sheet and placing on a wire rack to cool completely. TulsaPeople.com

Serves 6 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped 2 teaspoons kosher salt ½ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper 1 (3-pound) beef brisket 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 large red onion, sliced 1 (14.5-ounce) can low-sodium beef broth 1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce 1 cup dry red wine

TulsaPeople DECEMBER 2016

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix thyme, salt and pepper, and rub over brisket. Place a roasting pan on the stove, heating oil over medium-high heat. Depending on the size of your pan, you might need to place the pan over two burners. Brown brisket on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a rimmed plate or cutting board. Cook onion in roasting pan juices, stirring for a couple of minutes until onion is softened. Stir in broth, tomato sauce and wine. Place brisket back in roasting pan, along with pan juices, and cover with foil. Cook at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Remove from oven, ﬂip brisket and baste with pan juices, recover with foil and cook another 1 ½ to 2 hours or until very tender. (You can serve the brisket at this point, though it’s best to skim the fat from the sauce ﬁrst.) To serve the next day, place brisket and juices in roasting pan overnight. Remove brisket, and thinly slice. Remove fat from sauce, then replace sliced brisket in pan. Reheat at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.

WHAT’S COOKING? The buzz on Tulsa’s tastiest products, restaurants and events BY NATALIE MIKLES

ONE OF THE BEST FOODS I TASTED IN 2016 WASN’T IN A RESTAURANT, BUT AT THE TULSA STATE FAIR. As a judge for the baked goods, I ate my way through dozens of cookies, pies, cakes and breads to determine the blue ribbon sweepstakes winner for culinary arts. That winner was an apple pie, though not your grandma’s apple pie. MichalBeth Freeman’s prized pie was dotted with smoked Gruyere cheese and thyme leaves. That sweet and savory combination wrapped in pastry was perfection. Not all prize-winning cooks are so generous with their recipes, but Freeman was quick to share hers with me so that I could share it with you. This win wasn’t a ﬂuke for Freeman, a college student. She has won previously at the fair and other contests for recipes including a beautiful braided challah bread. Freeman has been cooking since age 3 or 4, ﬁrst washing dishes and then making pies with her great-grandma Opal.

SWEET AND SAVORY APPLE PIE CRUST: ½ cup vegetable shortening 1 stick butter (cold) Pinch of salt

Lively LIBATION

ave a Scotch drinker on your Christmas shopping list? Surprise them with a bottle of blended Scotch whisky — often the pariah of the Scotch shelf. Usquaebach Blended Malt Scotch Whisky, aged 15 years in oak and sherry casks, is a surprising, rich treat. A mix of Highland single malts, Usquaebach (pronounced oos-ke-bah) puts forth sun-dried fruit, pineapple and espresso bean on the nose and toffee, baking spices and dry sweetness on the palate. It won gold in the “New Release” (2010) category and silver in both the “Blended Whisky Over 10 Year Old” (2010) and “Best Scotch Whisky” (2011) categories at the International Whisky Competition. The name is a variant of the Gaelic phrase “uisge beatha,” meaning “water of life.” — LIZ BLOOD

TulsaPeople DECEMBER 2016

2 teaspoons thyme leaves 4 ounces smoked Gruyere cheese, grated 2 ½ cups ﬂour Small pitcher of ice-cold water

In a bowl, combine the shortening, butter, salt, thyme and cheese with the flour, using a pastry cutter to cut the butter and shortening down to pea-sized lumps; some a bit larger are fine. Sprinkle in the cold water, a small amount at a time, mixing lightly with your hands. Add 2 tablespoons water at a time until the dough holds it shape. Once the dough is firm enough, divide in half, shape into disks, wrap in plastic wrap and MichalBeth chill for 30 minutes to an hour. Freeman Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Flour your surface and the top of the dough disk, and roll it out rather thin. Carefully fold the dough onto itself. Fold once, then once again. Put onto your pie plate, and unfold. Let settle into the pie pan; the edges will hang over. Leave the long edge for now. FILLING: 8 medium apples (4 tart, 4 honeysweet) ¾ cup sugar 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg ½ teaspoon allspice

½ teaspoon pepper 1 teaspoon lemon juice Pat of butter 1 egg Coarse sugar, optional

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut apples in ¼-inch slices. In a bowl, mix all the filling ingredients together, then place into pie crust, packing tightly and mounding the filling up in the middle. Add a pat of butter on top. Roll out your remaining dough disk, and lay across the top of the pie. Trim the edges to around 1 to 2 inches, and roll them under. Crimp in any way you like to seal. Apply an egg wash of 1 egg, beaten, to the top. Cut vents in the top of the pie crust. Sprinkle top with coarse sugar or leave plain. Bake at 425 degrees for 20 minutes to set the crust. Then, lower the temperature to 375 degrees. Bake for another 30 minutes, or until the apples are tender when a knife is put into the vent holes. Remove and let cool. TP

SAND PLUM PHOTOGRAPHY; LOADED POTATOES: COURTESY 918PLATE.COM

Hillary Rankin is the creator of 918Plate.com, serves on the board of directors for the Tulsa Historical Society and Museum and is active with Dillon International, a Tulsa adoption agency through which she was placed as a baby.

WHEN YOU’RE DOWN TO THE LAST OF YOUR LEFTOVER MASHED POTATOES, MAKE THESE. RANKIN’S RECIPE IS A GREAT WAY TO TURN HOLIDAY LEFTOVERS INTO SOMETHING GREAT.

LOADED POTATOSTUFFED MUSHROOMS Although I read too many food blogs to properly keep up with, I was glad to be introduced to Hillary Rankin’s 918Plate.com. I like it so much, in fact, that it has taken the place of a former favorite as a go-to place to find reliable, inventive recipes with great writing and photography. What makes it even better is that 918Plate.com is Tulsa-centric, referencing Tulsa restaurants and happenings from the viewpoint of Rankin, who cooks and writes about food for fun when she’s not at her day job at an oil company. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE TULSA FOOD SCENE? The Tulsa food scene is honestly one of my very favorite things about living here. There are so many great local spots. My husband and I haven’t eaten at a national chain restaurant in ages. We do have favorites, of course ... and spend an awful lot of time at STG Pizzeria. DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE FOOD OR TWO YOU’LL BE MAKING IN DECEMBER? ANY HOLIDAY FOOD TRADITIONS? I’ll be making my mother-in-law’s recipe for wassail, which you can find on the blog. My family didn’t have any specific food traditions, but my great-grandmother’s dressing recipe is one of the “famous” ones in our family. She even used hot dog

buns in it! One non-winter holiday tradition that my husband and I have is that ever since we started dating, we always try to have pizza on Valentine’s Day. We made (pizza) together from a box our freshman year of college and have celebrated with pizza ever since. WHAT HAS BEEN THE MOST POPULAR RECIPE YOU’VE PUBLISHED? The most popular recipe always surprises me because it’s not the one with the best photos or even the best story attached. It’s my spinach and bacon quiche, (918plate.com/2016/03/spinach-and-bacon-quiche) and it really just took off on Pinterest somehow. It gets me the most views on the site nearly every day. IT LOOKS LIKE YOU DO SOME EXPERIMENTING IN THE KITCHEN. HAVE YOU EVER HAD A COLOSSAL FLOP? I read about the method called “velveting,” which Chinese restaurants use a lot to tenderize chicken. It involved dredging the chicken in baking soda, and I think I let it sit for too long and the result was so terrible. That’s one of the moments I wished we had a pet so it wouldn’t have all gone to waste. SOMETHING THAT MIGHT SURPRISE US TO KNOW ABOUT YOU? I like to have jam sessions in my kitchen. Inappropriate hip-hop is my music of choice during said sessions. TP

3 to 4 packages crimini mushrooms 1 ½ cups mashed potatoes 8-ounce package cream cheese 3 scallions, chopped ﬁnely 2 slices bacon, cooked and chopped ﬁnely (about 3 tablespoons) ½ cup grated cheddar cheese Salt and pepper Parsley Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Pull the trunks off of all the mushrooms, leaving caps with small cavities. Combine potatoes, cream cheese, scallions, bacon and cheese together, either using a mixer or by hand. Place mixed contents into a gallon-sized zipper bag or piping bag, and snip off one of the corners. Pipe contents into cavity. Top with salt and pepper. Bake mushrooms for 20 minutes. Plate and sprinkle with parsley. TulsaPeople.com

AMONG US Tulsans are pros at work and in their spare time. BY ANGELA EVANS

rtists are virtually everywhere you go in Tulsa. The barista who makes your lattes in the morning might be writing a novel. The guy bagging your groceries might sketch portraits on his lunch break. The idea of the “working artist” has evolved into “working while being an artist” as individuals continue their prosaic careers, but never stray far from their artistic passions. These ﬁve individuals represent the many painters, musicians, writers, actors, dancers and dreamers who reside in Tulsa. Take a closer look at the professionals around you, and you just might ﬁnd others straddling economic and creative pursuits.

INSURING IMAGES

Mike Tedford BY DAY: INSURANCE AGENT BY NIGHT: PHOTOGRAPHER

ike Tedford is continuing the work his father started in 1978 at the Tedford Insurance Agency. But although he has been a part of the family business since childhood and now manages several locations in Oklahoma, he has always had one foot in the arts. “When I was in junior high, I took a split class: one semester art, one semester music, where you learned how to play guitar,” Tedford says. “What seventh-grade boy doesn’t want to learn the guitar? It turned out I hated the music class, but I loved the art class.” As a freshman in high school, he talked his parents into buying him a camera. Tedford has taken photos since, though he slowed down when he got married and later became a father of ﬁve. It was his oldest daughter who got him back to his shutterbug roots. In 2008, daughter Christine received 46

TulsaPeople DECEMBER 2016

a digital camera and was allowed to enroll in a junior/ senior-level photography class as a freshman. She couldn’t legally drive, which limited her ability to get to locations for assignments. Tedford saw the opportunity for an activity he and his daughter could do together. The photography teacher allowed Tedford to take the class, too. He had to complete the same assignments and take the same tests as his daughter. “We both got an A in the class,” Tedford says, “but she got an A on the ﬁnal. I got a B.” From there, the two took photography classes at Tulsa Community College, which got Tedford behind his camera even more. Now, he’s often invited to lend his expertise. “A friend of mine asked me to go on a ﬁshing trip to Alaska,” Tedford says. “I never even touched a pole.

“I was their ‘National Geographic’ photographer while I was there, and it was an amazing experience,” he says with a laugh. Teford’s work will be presented in the RAW showcase, Holiday RAWk, Dec. 14 at the Oklahoma City Farmers’ Public Market. Photography has grown into more than a hobby for Tedford, and he even uses his skills to promote his business. He’s remodeling an ofﬁce in McAlester and plans to adorn the walls with photos of the town’s architecture. But at the end of the day, it’s still about creating art. “I enjoy my profession, but in the insurance business, I see all the unlucky things that happen,” he says. “I feel like photography is my form of artistic expression where I get to do capture the bright, sunny side of things.”

STAY TUNED Grady Nichols BY DAY: ADVERTISING EXECUTIVE BY NIGHT: JAZZ SAXOPHONIST

rady Nichols has been leading two lives for as long as he can remember: one life in television, selling advertising and creating commercials; the other, as a renowned jazz saxophonist. “It started in high school, where I would make goofy movies with my friends, which turned into a genuine interest in video production,” Nichols says. “I would work as a grip on shoots during the summers. But at the same time, I was always practicing the horn.” Nichols received a degree in broadcasting with a minor in business from John Brown University. While in college, he worked at TV-4 in his hometown of Siloam Springs, Arkansas. “I would sell the ads; I would write them, shoot them and edit them,” he says. “I also had a TV show where I would go and talk to people on the streets about different things happening in the community.” But college-aged Nichols never lost sight of music. He took music courses along with his business classes. “All during this time, I had a band, played around a lot and wrote music,” he says. “I’ve always been very, very busy.” After moving to Tulsa, he realized his anchorman dream would interfere with being a musician. “When I’d be playing gigs is also the time I would need to be on the air,” he explains. So, he made the decision. “Having had that television sales background early on, I realized I could do sales and still do music.” Since 1994, Nichols has been part of Tulsa’s television landscape, and he has worked at KOTV since 2013. “I’ve been blessed to do it the way I’ve been able to do it,” Nichols says. “When you’re a musician, it’s deﬁnitely a side business. But I think it’s a beneﬁt the way both careers complement each other.” Nichols’ knowledge of advertising and marketing has helped him as a professional artist. “It’s given me a very well-rounded opportunity to be successful in both,” he says. Nichols’ seventh album is a Christmas album. “There is something different going on with this record that I think is really wonderful,” he says. “We worked with some of the best musicians in Nashville on this record. It was really a fun and inspiring process.” TulsaPeople.com

PAINT BY NUMBER

Dean Wyatt BY DAY: CONTROLLER BY NIGHT: PAINTER

ablo Picasso said, “Inspiration exists, but it has to ﬁnd you working.” These are the words that fuel Dean Wyatt’s life as he balances his accounting career with being an avid supporter and contributor to the Tulsa arts scene. Landscape artist Wyatt has always done art, but started painting seriously in the 1990s. Over the years, he has shown in many galleries and has been accepted into competitive exhibitions, including a solo show at the Oklahoma Capitol. This month Wyatt’s work is on display at Circle Cinema and the TAC Gallery. Wyatt was raised in the rugged territory of southwest Oklahoma, where “it’s more sky and earth, fewer trees

TulsaPeople DECEMBER 2016

and hills,” he says. That history is perceptible in the stark abstract landscapes he creates. Also a cheerleader for others’ art, Wyatt serves as president of the Tulsa Arts Coalition, is on the board of the Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition and has volunteered his time to numerous nonproﬁt arts organizations. “Getting involved as a volunteer in the arts community helps me stay engaged,” he says. “It has also kept me closer to opportunities.” When Wyatt isn’t in front of a canvas or volunteering, he is the controller for a manufacturing facility in Pryor. The job allows him more free time and ﬂexibility than he has enjoyed in the past.

Renting a studio at the Urban Art Lab in the Kendall Whittier district also has allowed him more time and motivation to paint. “I get to the studio at 6:30 in the morning, work for an hour or so, then head to work,” he says. “No one else comes into the studio that early, so I can turn up the music real loud.” His advice to other artists struggling with the work/ life/art balance is to make the time. “We all get wrapped up in the day job and family, and it’s easy to say you didn’t have the inspiration today,” he says. “But I ﬁght the battle and go to the studio because even if I stare at a blank canvas for an hour, I know inspiration will ﬁnd me.”

PRACTICING EN POINTE

Dr. Hillary Pane BY DAY: PHYSICIAN BY NIGHT: MODERN DANCER

r. Hillary Pane has always been a dancer. Even when she relocated from her hometown of Houston, she immediately found a way to continue to follow her ballerina dreams. Pane moved to Tulsa to acquire her residency in both family medicine and psychiatry, a rare combination. “There were only six places in the nation that had the combined residency, so I moved here in 2008,” Pane says. “I soon fell in love with Tulsa, the dance community and, then, I actually fell in love and got married in 2014.” When she ﬁrst arrived, she took classes at Tulsa Ballet. Jen Alden, artistic director of Portico Dance Co., saw her and asked her to join the group. Compared to her upbringing in Houston, she was unsure of what to expect in Tulsa — but she jumped in. “I thought of Tulsa as more of a small town, but we have phenomenal talent here,” she says, “as far as dance, choreography, even singing and acting.” During her residency, Pane worked up to 80 hours per week while still dancing. “I don’t know how many nights I spent in bed at the hospital going over choreography,” she says. Although her training is primarily in ballet — which she learned from Tulsa Ballet, Houston Ballet, New Orleans’ Giacobbe Academy and Virginia School of the Arts — she had the opportunity to stretch her contemporary style in Portico. She also has performed in shows with Theater Tulsa: “A Chorus Line,” “The Will Rogers Follies” and “Oklahoma!” More recently, she has taken on a new role, as mother to a son. “Now I am part-time doctor, part-time dancer and full-time mommy,” Pane says of her 25-hours-a-week medical schedule. “I feel like I have a great work/home/ dance balance.” Next, she will perform in Portico’s summer production called “Animalia.” Featuring movement inspired by all kinds of animals, it’s a perfect show for families, according to Pane. “Art is so important for a community, for our children,” she says. “So, go out and see as many shows as you can. And take your kids.” TulsaPeople.com

BUILDING HARMONIES Jen Jones BY DAY: KITCHEN DESIGNER BY NIGHT: SINGER

“D

o you want to be an opera singer or not?” This was the question posed to 16-year-old Jen Jones by the headmaster of the Baltimore Actors’ Theatre Conservatory. She had been in their demanding training program since she was 14. “It was a really serious performing arts school, which became oppressive in a way,” she says. The students trained during the school year for trips abroad in the summer, when they would perform at huge venues all over the world. “But I was this small-town girl who just wanted to go home,” Jones says. “So, when the headmaster asked me what I wanted to do if I didn’t want to be an opera singer, I told him I wanted to sound like Janis Joplin, and I moved back to Oklahoma.” Jones landed in Tulsa, where she met kindred

TulsaPeople DECEMBER 2016

musicians who invited her to perform with them. “I felt really secure with my training, but when I played these after-hours jam sessions, I sounded like Julie Andrews,” she says. “It was tough going from classical training to free-form rock-and-roll. But I got that training when I was 16. Now, I’m 40 and I’ve had life happen.” Jones has been a member of the group Green Corn Rebellion since 2012. She can be seen on stages and at events all around Tulsa. Up next, the band has a New Year’s Eve gig at Soundpouny. But despite a full roster of engagements each month, you are most likely to see Jones living her other dream: designing kitchens at Lowe’s. “I love that I get to speak with so many different people,” she says. “But the ones who really speak to my

heart are the young couples. I love creating what they have in mind in an affordable way. I’m kind of a sap about it. They’re going to have Thanksgiving dinners and celebrate birthdays in that kitchen.” Even though she’s had several jobs over the years, she was always interested in the structural elements of room design and received certiﬁcation in interior design at age 19. Not every customer experience is heartwarming, and the rigors of retail life can take their toll. But as she clocks out from Lowe’s, it’s time to clock in with her band. “Even after the worst day, I still have to go into rehearsal instead of curling up on the couch,” Jones says. “But I walk in, and there are 10 of my very best friends greeting me, hugging me, singing with me. “And I know there is no place I’d rather be right then than making music with my best friends.” TP

HAPPY HOLLY DAYS Hollyberry and Co. decks the halls year-round with festive necessities. BY LAURA DENNIS

he quaint charm of the winter holiday season eludes Tulsa in the long spring and summer months. But tucked in a cozy corner of the Farm Shopping Center, sleigh bells ring and Santa abides year-round to keep the spirit alive at Hollyberry and Co. Friends and co-owners Mark Wilken and Holly King opened the store in 2014, shortly after Wilken retired from his 31-year career with ONEOK. Wilken, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2011, decided it was time for a new chapter. “I thought, well, if I’m going to enjoy my retirement, I might as well enjoy it early because late might not be in the cards,” Wilken says. “And I always thought it would be fun to open a Christmas store.” Hollyberry and Co. began with a line of adjustable Christmas tree skirts designed by Wilken and King. Today, the gift shop embodies seasonal décor and specializes in personal, one-of-a-kind treasures. Christmas trees, LED lights,

craft ribbon and embellished ornaments are among the inventory, but Wilken prefers an unusual approach when it comes to product sourcing. “It’s not so much the best deal as it is the most interesting and unique items that you can find,” he says. Novelties such as Karen Didion Santa Clauses and Hönes cuckoo clocks are among the more eccentric finds. Store displays parade collector’s items and oddities sourced from small businesses, market vendors and individuals worldwide, but Wilken makes a concerted effort to support Tulsa and U.S. companies, too. Ultimately, Wilken’s passion is serving others, and his focus remains on building lasting relationships with the community and his clientele. “We are trying to touch people’s lives and enhance the good times or commemorate the difficult times,” Wilken says. “That’s really what our business has been about: taking care of folks.” TP

WHERE TO …

SEE SANTA BY JUDY LANGDON

Santa Claus is “making his list and checking it twice,” and no doubt, your kids are eager to ﬁnd and tell him what they want for Christmas. Here is a partial list of where and when that favorite Man in Red can be found around the city. If the kids ask how he can be so many places at once, just tell them it’s part of his North Pole magic.

If you missed seeing the “jolly old elf’’ on Thanksgiving night at Tulsa’s midtown shopping venue, you can visit with him inside his own house in the Utica Square garden area between Starbucks and The Wild Fork. The square is a sight to behold with 700,000-plus shimmering white lights on 175 trees and large illuminated characters from “The Nutcracker.” Pictures with Santa are $5. East 21st Street and South Utica Avenue. Nov. 25-Dec. 24: 10 a.m.-9 p.m., Monday-Saturday; noon-6 p.m., Sunday. uticasquare.com

Breakfast with Santa At least two venues will offer the chance to break bread with Santa himself. Breakfast and photos are included with ticket purchases, but be sure to register in advance as these opportunities will sell out.

Kringle’s Christmas Land is a voice-narrated experience featuring hundreds of vintage, life-sized animated displays made between the 1940s and 1990s. The tour takes 10 to 15 minutes and includes elaborate special effects such as realistic snowfall and LED theatrical lighting. TP

Cascia Hall-mark holiday

ust like clockwork, the holidays are upon us and it’s time to deck the halls for the season. But, are you in need of a little inspiration this year? The 2016 Cascia Hall Christmas Walk features four midtown residences with eclectic styles expressed by expert designers and florists. The French Bouquet was inspired to embellish this home’s creamy palette with metallic flourishes and pops of sparkle. The festive season is brought to life with bowls of silver ornaments, fresh white hydrangeas, a shimmering village setting, and gold and crystal evergreens. Toni’s Flowers and Gifts, Ever Something and Stems are this year’s other participating florists who will dazzle the senses of each tour patron at every stop. Before or after touring the homes, guests are encouraged to visit Cascia Hall, which will host a boutique, a bistro and a number of student performances throughout the day. This is the 34th year for the Cascia Hall Christmas Walk, which supports projects at the school including STEM programming, student financial aid and renovations to the Cascia Hall library. The event’s major sponsors are Saint Francis Health System, Jim Norton Auto Group, Chinowth and Cohen Realtors, and Barrow and Grimm, Attorneys at Law. More than 20 other Tulsa businesses are sponsoring this year’s event, as well. — ANNE BROCKMAN

QA &

From Tulsa Professionals

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT What purpose does “asset allocation” serve in an investment portfolio? Asset allocation represents the proportions used in asset classes such as stocks, bonds and cash along with other less traditional asset classes such as real estate, metals and more. The objective is to manage the risk of a portfolio over varying economic cycles by avoiding significant losses suffered in one asset class by owning less volatile assets to smooth the performance. Diversification among the asset classes helps reduce the portfolio risk. In other words, don’t put all your eggs in one basket — or asset class.

J. Harvie Roe, CFP, President

For information about participating in Q&A, please contact adservices@langdonpublishing.com.

BEAUTY & WEIGHT MANAGEMENT I want to look my best for the holidays, but how can I justifying doing anything for myself when things are so busy? BA Med Spa understands busy schedules, which is why during the 12 Days of Christmas event, patients can purchase services and products at reduced prices. Best of all, services can be used to use now or later, when time is more readily available — a reward for the New Year! Patients can diffuse crow’s feet, restore volume or just refresh their skin, all while locking in the best pricing of the year. Call 918-872-9999 or visit www.baweightspa.com to learn more about holiday offers.

WILL AND TRUSTS Who should be trustee of my trust? A primary purpose in creating a revocable trust is to pre-authorize someone to act in your behalf to manage your assets should you become incapacitated or upon your death. Naming someone you trust is fundamental, as integrity and character are non-negotiable. But just as important is naming someone with the skill set to carry forth your directions. Contact your estate planning attorney today to give you wise counsel concerning your choices in naming a trustee.

DOG TRAINING

Why do implants fail?

How do I pick a good dog breed for my family?

Many factors can cause the failure of an implant. An uneven bite — which may cause too much force on the implant during normal chewing — and habitual grinding of the teeth (bruxism) can both damage an implant irreparably. Additional health factors, such as overall bone quality, can also affect a patient’s risk. Also, if the patient fails to clean implants like they would natural teeth, peri-implantitis (like periodontal disease) may result. Patients who experience any of these effects should contact our dental office immediately.

Keep in mind what the dog was originally bred to do. A herding dog is going to have lots of prey drive and desire to chase things. Hunting breeds are more prone to wander off while following a trail. However, these are not absolutes. A reputable breeder can also offer honest advice. Adopting an older mixed breed from a local rescue will take out the guess work; the foster families that care for these dogs typically know them pretty well, and will be able to help choose a dog that fits your lifestyle.

he inaugural Bohemian Ball on Oct. 6 was a progressive “crawl” event that highlighted Tulsa’s musicians, artists, chefs and the free-spirited lovers of each. The celebration of creativity took place at the Hardesty Arts Center, 108 Contemporary and Living Arts of Tulsa, and event proceeds were split equally among the three organizations.

Approximately 330 patrons started the evening with chef-created delicacies, costume booths and entertainment at the Hardesty Arts Center, followed by desserts and photo ops at 108 Contemporary. The revelry continued at Living Arts with a dance party led by afro-beat funk band Count Tutu. TP TulsaPeople.com

LABOR OF LOVE

Seasoned shopper quietly clothes Tulsa’s neediest for two decades. BY JACKIE WELTON DIPILLO

n the mid-1990s, a boy came to Family and Children’s Services wearing clothes that were too small. They were his sister’s handme-downs. When Tulsan Carol White heard this from a friend working at FCS, she wondered, “How could you instill self-esteem in this poor child?” White “couldn’t bear the thought that a newborn baby or young child would go without the necessary clothing to enter this world or go to school,” says Mimi Tarrasch, executive senior program director at FCS. So, White started her own small crusade. She began slowly, passing clothing to FCS as she purchased it. Then, her collection grew into bins organized by size, gender and season. Today she helps over 2,000 people each year and stores the donations in two warehouses and her home closets. Requests arrive from FCS with clients’ names, ages and sizes, and White finds whatever clothing the families need.

TulsaPeople DECEMBER 2016

A good shopper, she knows when stores offer coupons and discounts, and she stocks up at after-season sales, saving 75-80 percent. She often finds gently used items from Goodwill and garage sales. She has a few helpers, too. If something needs repairing, lifelong friend Ann Lanning sews seams or “takes donated shoes, polishes or washes them, and puts new shoe strings in,” White says. Other friends like Jan O’Connor and Barbara Adams assist all year. At Christmas, “the ladies bring a friend and a huge job gets done — down to the wrapping — for 15-35 families,” White says. A book is included for each child from White and her husband Randall’s company, Educational Development Corp. But preparing for the big day is an ongoing affair. There aren’t many days White doesn’t sort or purchase something for the cause. “You think your life is going to be calmer at this point,” says the 72-year-old. “I’m busier than I’ve ever been.” TP

Lauren, why did you ﬁrst become involved in the Jingle Bell Run? I started running with (our son) Miles, when Miles was younger. We have always raised money for the Arthritis Foundation. This is an easy cause, as it’s close to our heart ... Scott was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis 21 years ago, right after we got married, when he was 24. He has already had two hip replacements. He is 45. We were thrilled to chair this year with medical honoree Dr. Michael Malloy, Scott’s rheumatologist. Is it a family affair? Yes. Miles volunteers, and Scott’s mom participates. We all support Scott and those living with RA and other forms of arthritis. How many teams and individuals will participate? More than 50 teams and more than 1,000 individuals. — JUDY LANGDON

THE ELEMENT SLIDE VALE

The Slide Vale is one of several discoverable play areas planned for A Gathering Place for Tulsa. Set in a small stand of trees near the QuikTrip Great Lawn and Peggy’s Pond, the vale will feature two speed slides coming off a tower and two smaller slides embedded in the landscape. Jeff Stava, executive director and trustee of Tulsa’s Gathering Place LLC, says the smaller slides will offer an unexpected surprise: They will crisscross underground. “That will be kind of neat for younger kids because you won’t come out where you think you will,” Stava says.

Even before Tulsa-based Laredo Petroleum knew details about the park, the company was intrigued. “The mere name A Gathering Place set the stage for how it is going to be used, and we knew it was something we wanted to be a part of,” says Rick Buterbaugh, executive vice president and chief financial officer for Laredo. The company’s $3 million donation for the Slide Vale is in keeping with its charitable focus on projects that benefit children in the communities that are home to its oil and gas operations. Laredo has approximately 325 employees in Oklahoma and Texas; half work in Tulsa. “We like knowing our dollars are staying here to benefit the existing area,” Buterbaugh says. TP

PICTURE OF HEALTH W

BY JUDY LANGDON

hen Tulsa was a bustling, fledgling oil boomtown in 1918 (population 78,755), one of its fi rst hospitals was Morningside Hospital and Training School for Nurses. Established during a nationwide influenza epidemic that killed thousands, it was founded in 1914 as Sunnyside Hospital by three sisters: Florence Rouleau, Victoria Rouleau, both nurses, and Rose Rouleau, the business manager. In 1917, Nurse Dolly McNulty purchased and renamed the 88

facility Morningside Hospital, and its fi rst class of nurses graduated a year later. Morningside eventually outgrew its early location downtown and moved to a 225-bed, multi-story brick building at East 12th Street and South Utica Avenue. Reorganized when it was acquired by a group of Tulsa businessmen in 1939, it underwent another name change: Hillcrest Memorial Hospital and Nurses Training School. The hospital received its current moniker, Hillcrest Medical Center, in 1952. TP

Counter-cultural care Most baby boomers want to age in place. In Tulsa, a program is helping them do it. BY JAMIE RICHERT JONES

he suburbs, a commonplace concept today, represented an innovative solution to urban housing shortages in the 1950s. Cities experienced a population surge as post-World War II babies — the baby boomers — arrived. The suburbs offered a solution to the needs of growing families. Even six decades later, baby boomers continue to shape American culture through their sheer volume. The first wave of the boomer generation is now reaching retirement age. In Tulsa, people 65 years and older comprise approximately 13 percent of the population. The AARP Public Policy Institute estimates the U.S. population of adults 65 and over will nearly double from 37 million in 2006 to 71.5 million in 2030. Experts predict this milestone will precipitate a shortage in the traditional model of senior care, which will move away from long-term care 3 Medical and Dental Guide

facilities and toward community-based care in an age-integrated society.

AT YOUR SERVICE

“Baby boomers want choices, and I don’t think they are particularly interested in traditional, long-term care options,” says Laura Kenny, CEO of LIFE Senior Services of Tulsa. “For the most part, people would like to stay in their home and in the community, connected with their friends and family for as long as possible.” In fact, 87 percent of people over the age of 65 want that option, according to a survey by the AARP Public Policy Institute and the National Conference of State Legislators. Referred to as “aging in place,” the concept is defined by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officially as the ability to live in one’s own home

and community safely, independently and comfortably, regardless of age, income or ability level. To achieve this, many seniors will rely on support services such as hospice care, home health care, visiting nurses, transportation, home-delivered meals, senior centers, help with housekeeping, respite care and a central place for caregiving information. Fortunately, Tulsa seniors now have a resource to coordinate these services and provide assistance to their caregivers.

PACE OF LIFE

The Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), provided by LIFE Senior Services, accepts Medicare, Medicaid and private pay. It is for those eligible for nursing home-level care but who, with support, can safely reside in the community, according to the Office of Policy Development

and Research at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Nationwide, there are 121 PACE programs. Three are in Oklahoma. Cherokee Elder Care in Tahlequah started Oklahoma’s first PACE program in 2008. LIFE’s PACE program opened in January 2015, around the same time Valir PACE opened in Oklahoma City. With a heavy emphasis on preventive care, the program offers a continuum of medical and social services, such as primary and specialty medical care, hospital and emergency care, prescription drug coverage, medication management and adult day health services. An interdisciplinary team of primary care physicians, home-care coordinators, dieticians, registered nurses, medical social workers and specialists work with clients and their loved ones to develop a care plan to meet specific needs. Participants in the LIFE PACE program visit LIFE’s Adult Day Health Center on an as-needed basis to receive health care, social services, nutritious meals and to participate in various rehabilitative and recreational activities. Additional services also are available for participants in their homes. Care is based on each participant’s needs. A team completes a comprehensive assessment at least every six months; the assessment drives the level of care provided for each patient. Candidates must be 55 or older, able to live in the community without jeopardizing their health or safety, meet the nursing home level of care as determined by the Oklahoma Department of Human Services and live in the LIFE PACE defined service area (eligible zip codes are listed on LIFE’s website). The majority of participants enjoy the program at no cost, while others pay a fixed monthly fee. The monthly cost, if any, depends on the candidate’s Medicare and Medicaid benefits and the type of care they need. “We believe medical decisions should not be reactive or made in crisis mode,” Kenny says. “That’s why we encourage family members, caregivers and PACE participants to be a big part of their care plan and long-term planning.” According to HUD, PACE participants have better clinical outcomes, shorter hos4 Medical and Dental Guide

Top, Frank D’Imperio works with Suzanne Hill, restorative aide with the PACE program. Bottom, Janet and Frank D’Imperio enrolled in the LIFE PACE program to help in the day-to-day tasks associated with caring for a loved one at home.

pital stays, lower mortality rates, better self-reported health and better quality of life. Additionally, “We know the cost of care is cheaper to remain at home,” Kenny says. According to Oklahoma DHS, the cost of a skilled nursing facility is three times the cost of home care. Costs for PACE enrollees are an estimated 16 to 38 percent lower than Medicare fee-for-service costs for the elderly population, and 5 to 15 percent lower than costs for comparable Medicaid beneficiaries.

COST OF CAREGIVING

As the population ages, the role of caregiver increasingly falls on people who are not health care professionals, according to the Mayo Clinic. They report the emotional and physical demands of caregiving can make even the most resilient person vulnerable to their own health problems. According to AARP Oklahoma, more than 524,000 family caregivers in Oklahoma provide assistance to help a parent, spouse or loved one. These unpaid services save taxpayers more than $6 billion annually. But at what human cost? CONTINUED ON P.6

Janet D’Imperio, an independent insurance agent in Tulsa, experienced the physical and emotional toll of being the sole caregiver for her husband, Frank, after an accident left him unable to care for himself. “Bathing was a huge hurdle, (helping him walk), going places, being able to get through a store,” D’Imperio says. “I sat down and counted how many legitimate jobs I was doing. It was 17.” After six years and multiple health complications of her own, D’Imperio was ready for help. She found the PACE program in her “Medicare and You” handbook as she prepared for the AEP, the annual coordinated election period, and decided to give the Tulsa branch a call. “It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but it has taken a real load off my shoulders,” D’Imperio says. “They help with the medical care, the cooking and the laundry ... They help me out with the things that need to be done, and it gives me time to sit in the evening with Frank, and we hold hands.” PACE transportation services pick Frank up at home several times a week and bring him to LIFE’s Adult Day Health

Center, located at 902 E. Pine St., for physical therapy, lunch and social activities. During that time, his wife is able to run errands, do chores or rest. PACE also serves caregivers directly by providing them access to support groups, educational programs and respite care. “PACE has stepped in, provided support and helped us through a lot of this, and I just cannot say thank you enough,” D’Imperio says. “Now if I come across somebody who has the same need, I will say, ‘Go to PACE.’”

SHORTAGE OF SPECIALISTS

Although baby boomers are living longer, they aren’t necessarily living healthier lives. According to the CDC, the generation is more stressed, less healthy and has less health coverage than people in the same age group did a decade ago. And though America’s older population is experiencing unprecedented growth, the number of doctors trained in the subspecialty of gerontology is shrinking. The American Geriatric Society projects that by 2030 there will be only one geriatrician for every 4,484 people 75 and older.

The implications for inaccurate diagnoses in the senior population increases dramatically when medical professionals lack knowledge of their specific needs, according to the New York Times. Since many seniors take multiple prescriptions, a common problem is overmedication, or polypharmacy. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, a 2004 survey of nursing home residents found that 40 percent of those surveyed were taking multiple drugs that were clinically inappropriate or contraindicated. Janet D’Imperio experienced the challenges of managing her husband’s multiple medications. “I was spending my afternoons running from one pharmacy to another before we joined PACE,” she says. Now, PACE Medical Director Dr. Frank Costner, a geriatrician and pain management specialist, oversees his prescriptions. Best of all, Costner approaches Frank’s care plan with compassion, she says. “It’s more centralized,” D’Imperio says of Frank’s health care, including medications. “Now, Frank is on the right meds, and (his medical care is) all in one spot.” TP

Urologic Specialists of Oklahoma

Urologic Specialists Leading the Way in Prostate Cancer Care With a team of 20 board-certified urologists, Urologic Specialists is able to go above and beyond, thanks to subspecialists with advanced training in urologic oncology as well as female urology, pediatric urology, trauma and reconstructive urology, kidney transplantation and male sexual health. Recently, Urologic Specialists opened the Advanced Prostate Cancer Institute, enabling the practice to advance to the cutting edge of the specialty even further — and help more Tulsans facing life-changing prostate cancer diagnoses. The Advanced Prostate Cancer Institute at Urologic Specialists offers each patient their own team of caregivers working together to develop a course of treatment designed specifically for them. Because the Institute is focused on one disease — advancedstage (metastatic) prostate cancer in men — everything is tailored

to the specific needs of the patients. Treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, oral medication, hormone therapy, radiation and even clinical trials. “When it comes to prostate cancer treatment, we want to make it as seamless as possible,” says Cole Davis, MD, fellowshiptrained physician in urologic oncology. It’s why the program includes a nurse navigator who guides each patient through treatment by answering questions, providing support, working with insurance, coordinating appointUrologic Specialists ments, and more. 10901 E. 48th St. S. 918-749-8765 www.urologicspecialists.com

Cancer Treatment Centers of America A Breath of Relief Breathing. Sleeping. Moving. It’s the simple things that suddenly matter the most when cancer swoops in to take them away. It was the summer of 2013 when Margery Gadd of Tulsa began having difficulty breathing through her nose. “It was interfering with running and sleeping, which are two of my favorite things,” says Gadd. She went to her doctor for a series of tests and couldn’t believe the news. She had sinus cancer. “After receiving the diagnosis, I started investigating treatment options. I met with various specialists and surgeons,” says Gadd. As a registered nurse with experience in cancer care, she wanted a second opinion. Gadd went to Cancer Treatment Centers of America® (CTCA) in Tulsa and met Dr. Bradley Mons, an otolaryngologist with specialized training in head, neck and microvascular reconstructive surgery. “Dr. Mons was kind and compassionate, and his knowledge and expertise inspired my confidence,” Gadd says. Mons performed surgery on Gadd to remove her sinuses and 17 Medical and Dental Guide

part of her upper jaw to remove the tumor. A board-certified plastic surgeon, Mons also was able to do the reconstructive portion of Gadd’s surgery at the same time. Her surgery required reconnecting tiny blood vessels using a suture that was thinner than a hair. “Today, you can barely even see a scar,” says Gadd. “I am back to living an active life.” Gadd is back to running, and earlier this year she celebrated her 70th birthday by hiking the Grand Canyon. “I have so much to live for, and am planning to be around for a very long time,” says Gadd.

What is the relationship between anxiety and compulsive behavior? They are not mutually exclusive. More often than not, one does not occur without the other, because both conditions produce feelings of helplessness generated by the adverse effects of the other. Compulsive behaviors eventually produce anxiety, and this anxiety becomes heightened the more the compulsive behavior is acted upon. As compulsive behaviors dictate more of one’s thinking, the more severe anxiety becomes. Forms of anxiety caused by painful experiences stimulate compulsive behaviors, thus perpetuating anxiety, which leads to more of the same behaviors. Patterns of selfabuse and self-destruction can be understood in this context. Any obsession used to separate oneself from reality — cutting, eating, masturbating or self-medicating — are ways in which people avoid confronting pain or trauma. It is a cycle that is very difficult to stop, but can be helped if one is willing to work through pain and disappointment.

SAFE DRUG DISPOSAL WHAT TO DO WITH UNWANTED PRESCRIPTION AND OVER-THE-COUNTER MEDICATIONS BY MORGAN KRUEGER

In 2011, the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics launched “Safe Trips for Scripts,” a program intended to combat prescription drug abuse. Since then, 178 drug disposal sites have been established in Oklahoma. Designed like a mailbox, these containers allow people to anonymously discard their leftover or out-of-date prescription drugs. OBN’s Mark Woodward says over 120,000 pounds of drugs have been collected through this program. According to OK Policy, Oklahomans misuse and abuse painkillers at a level 232 percent higher than the national average. This epidemic, measured in terms of unintentional poisonings, costs Oklahoma over $40 million annually. Disposing of unnecessary medications can prevent accidental overdoses, keep children from ingesting them and lessen the chance they will be stolen and sold on the street, according to OK Policy.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPER DRUG DISPOSAL: • Never flush drugs down the toilet or sink. Most wastewater treatment plants are not equipped to filter out medications, which means those chemicals find their way into local rivers and waterways. Drinking water in several locations across the U.S. has been contaminated with low levels of antibiotics, hormones and anti-seizure meds, likely due to improperly disposed medications. • To ensure anonymity, pour the medication into an unmarked, sealable plastic bag, drop the bag at a disposal site and discard the medication bottles in your own trash after marking over any sensitive information with a black marker. • Disposal sites are only for prescription drugs; do not deposit needles, inhalers, syringes, liquids or illegal drugs. • As an alternative option for prescription drug disposal, Walgreens pharmacy chain announced in February that it will add safe medication disposal kiosks in 500 stores across the country. Several stores in Oklahoma already have the kiosks, which are available during regular pharmacy hours.

BENEFITS OF FLOSSING 1. THE HAVE YET TO BE PROVEN.

FALSE. Although recent news reports have tried to convince the public that flossing isn’t beneficial, Nellis stresses the importance of incorporating flossing into your daily routine. “Dentists have seen for decades that flossing reduces bacteria in between the teeth and the gums,” she says. Flossing also prevents gum disease, cavities and receding gum lines.

SHOULD ALWAYS FLOSS 2. YOU AFTER YOU BRUSH.

MAYBE. In a recent poll conducted by the American Dental Association, roughly half of Americans floss before brushing, and half floss after. Don’t stress about when you floss, as long as you’re consistent in doing it every day. Don’t have time to floss? Nellis recommends flossing while watching television. Use a waxed floss — Oral-B Satin Floss is her personal favorite — that resists shredding and glides easily between the teeth.

GUMS MEAN YOU 3. BLEEDING DON’T FLOSS ENOUGH.

TRUE. “If you see blood when brushing or ﬂossing, this means that you are often not doing a good enough job cleaning your teeth,” Nellis says. If you experience bleeding gums, keep ﬂossing daily, paying special attention to tight teeth. The bleeding will eventually go away, signifying healthier gums.

CHILDREN SHOULD BEGIN 4. FLOSSING WHEN THEIR TEETH START TOUCHING.

FLOSS-BUSTERS Let’s be honest. Flossing can be a hassle, and in light of recent headlines, you might have questioned the validity of the so-called golden rules of flossing. Dr. Nicole Nellis of Nellis Family Dentistry busts the five biggest flossing fables, once and for all.

BY EMMA GIDDENS

24 Medical and Dental Guide

TRUE. Children should begin flossing with their parents’ help when two of their teeth touch. Parental assistance may be required until 9-10 years old, when a child develops better manual dexterity. Nellis advises using pre-threaded flossers for young children, then switching to standard string floss once manual capabilities advance.

RISK OF CAVITIES 5. YOUR INCREASES WITH AGE.

MAYBE. Although cavities are more common in children, adults are still at risk of getting them. “If older adults have the right combination of gum recession and dry mouth, then they, too, can have high rates of cavities like children,” Nellis says. Pre-threaded ﬂossers are a helpful tool if you have difﬁculty using your hands, and proxy brushes are great for cleaning large gaps between the teeth.
