MERRY MARCH

ince 1926, thousands of children and adults have crowded the streets of downtown to catch a glimpse of floats and marching bands in the Tulsa Christmas Parade. This year’s parade theme is “A Storybook Christmas,” highlighting Tulsan Jessica Gullo’s new 128page book with stories and photos from the parade’s 91-year history. Unlike recent years, the 2017 parade will be an afternoon event. “Traditionally, it has been a night-time parade, but our goal was to make the

event friendly for families, singles and the whole of Tulsa,” says Paul Ross, vice president of the parade sponsor, American Waste Control. “We’re getting positive feedback, and we can’t wait to see the turnout.” The parade will begin at 2 p.m., Dec. 9, at East Sixth Street and South Boston Avenue. The route will proceed north on Boston to East Third Street, west on Third, down South Boulder Avenue and end at Sixth and Boulder. Visit tulsachristmasparade.org. TP

on’t tell Andrew Spector and Jake Lerner that children should be seen and not heard. The program they developed, Tulsa Changemakers, empowers middleand high-schoolers to make meaningful change in their schools and communities. The idea came to these East Coasters shortly after they arrived in Tulsa in 2015 for Teach for America. Leaders in nonprofits, business and government made them feel welcome and valued. In their classrooms, both new teachers were amazed at the leadership qualities of students as young as fifth grade. “They’re not just passive recipients of education,” Lerner says. “Adults should listen to them and allow their voices to rise.” Tulsa Changemakers works mostly with teachers to identify students who are invited to apply. Once accepted, program participants learn how to identify problems, work collaboratively and put change into action. It all starts with a three-week listening campaign, during which students interview family members, classmates, teachers, administrators, neighbors and church members to determine key issues. Last year, one group developed and implemented a student-led tutor/mentoring program in their schools. The other group planned and executed

Tulsa Changemakers’ vision is to make Tulsa a model city for youth-driven impact — by allowing students to lead the way. TP

he idea behind the two newest programs under the Leadership Tulsa umbrella is simple: “Step up to the plate, and don’t wait for Superman,” says Ashley Philippsen, program director for Hispanic Leadership Institute (HLI) and Thrive Tulsa. The HLI targets aspiring movers and shakers from Tulsa’s Hispanic community. Eager participants — generally ages 21 to 45 — meet with local business leaders, nonprofit leaders and policymakers to learn about issues, sharpen their skills and network. The program was created in partnership with the Tulsa Hispanic Chamber. Thrive Tulsa uses the city as its classroom for a lead-by-experience approach. Approximately 20 participants are selected from public, private and nonprofit sectors, with an emphasis on under-represented communities. Recruited through social media, LT alumni and professional networks, participants meet with local leaders in venues around town to explore issues that affect all Tulsans: education, economic development, criminal justice, health care and social services. “They learn to look at how and why to lead, how to observe and not jump to conclusions, how to collaborate,” Philippsen says. Participants spend six months practicing inquiry, building self-awareness, expanding their leadership competencies, and examining community challenges and opportunities, Philippsen says. They then apply the lessons learned to develop Community Impact Projects and finally present their concepts to an audience of stakeholders, including LT alumni, mentors, program funders and other leaders. “By offering new programs to new audiences, we are building the bench of available leaders now and for the future,” says Wendy Thomas, LT executive director. — JANE ZEMEL

At Bluestem, the focus is on creating the smoothest possible closing for a customer. Owner and president Rebecca Sherwood says that means being responsive and providing the best commercial real estate title services in Oklahoma. After a successful career as a real estate attorney, Sherwood gravitated toward the title industry, opening her own commercial title business in January 2015. “I called the company Bluestem, because it reminded me of northeast Oklahoma, where I grew up,” says Sherwood. Bluestem’s licensed professionals have decades of experience handling complex transactions, and the company represents the largest national title insurers in the country. To keep pace with the marketplace, Bluestem uses the latest technological advances, like hyperlinking documents and filing documents electronically. “It’s all about developing relationships so that our customers come back to us and encourage others to do so,” says Connie Smoot, vice president. “Sometimes, title companies won’t get on the phone with the parties or their representatives to answer questions,” says Sherwood, “But I take those calls myself. Customer service is what separates Bluestem from other title companies.”

n Cynthia Brown’s early 20s, painting emerged as her first love. She studied it in college and eventually crossed over into ceramics before earning a Master of Fine Arts degree. Brown also taught high school art for 10 years in Tulsa Public Schools. “Teaching was a wonderful thing for my career and my formation as an artist,” she says. In 2013, Brown retired from secondary education and dedicated herself full time to painting. She received a Tulsa Artist Fellowship in 2017 and has settled into her TAF studio downtown in the Archer Building. Brown has instructed adult workshops, including a session with members of the Women in Recovery program. “I love what I’m doing because I get to totally immerse myself in my art and give back to the community,” she says. “I learn things every day just by doing and teaching, and I’m so grateful.” Brown’s vibrant style jumps off the canvas in much the same way it is painted on: with large, rhythmic strokes as she dances to music and moves around her studio.

The independent, nonprofit theater currently is focusing exclusively on Oklahoma playwrights. “It’s important because even though Tulsa has a lot of fantastic places to work on acting, directing, lighting and all of the technical elements, there isn’t a lot of playwriting,” says Nick Lutke, community affairs coordinator and treasurer. In addition to the company’s full-length presentations and annual shorts project, Heller Theatre produces Second Sunday Serials reminiscent of the classic radio serial shows. Each month, five 10-minute scenes are performed, and the audience votes on its favorite.

FREE TROLLEY SERVICE CIRCLES BACK DOWNTOWN

“Today’s Homeowner” ﬁlms the renovation of Manna House’s outdoor living space on Oct. 21.

When a group of local homebuilders decided to renovate an outdoor living After a two-year hiatus, Tulsans can once again enjoy free trolley rides through downtown on Fridays and Saturdays. Starting in 2015 until last month, Tulsa Transit replaced downtown trolley service with a free weekend shuttle service called “The Loop.” Kyle Johnston, marketing and promotions manager for the Tulsa Downtown Coordinating Council, says the change from trolley to bus service was made to save money. However, Johnston says public feedback convinced the City of Tulsa and the TDCC to renew a relationship with Old Urban Trolley, the former shuttle service provider.

area for Manna House, a transitional home for young women aging out of foster care, they didn’t expect to attract a film crew. The Remodelers Council of the Home Builders Association of Greater Tulsa chooses an outreach project each year from requests it receives from the community, says Peter Grant, HBA president and a member of the HBA Charitable Foundation Board of Directors. Launch Outreach, which operates Manna House, had asked the HBA Charitable Foundation for help purchasing office furniture, Grant says. When members of the council visited Manna House, they were impressed with its recent remodel — to which the HBA had previously contributed — but noted the backyard could use some improvements. “We said, ‘What if we built you a shade arbor on the back porch and a place for storing your bicycles?’ And they were very excited about that,” Grant says. In the meantime, the nationally syndicated TV and radio show “Today’s Homeowner,” hosted by home improvement expert Danny Lipsford, put out a nationwide call for HBA members doing community service. The Tulsa project was a perfect fit. On Oct. 21, crews filmed HBA volunteers building Manna House a pergola, furnishing its patio and installing a commercial bike rack. The Remodelers Council provided the labor, and materials were funded by the HBACF. A new propane grill also was donated. Now, “It’s a really fun space where the girls can go out and enjoy the backyard,” Grant says. He adds that the Remodelers Council has adopted Manna House as its ongoing beneficiary. Two members of the council’s “Screwdriver Team” visit the house once a month to take care of maintenance such as changing lightbulbs and fixing leaky faucets.

BEAUTY, BORN FROM TRAGEDY Tulsan opens arts foundation in Puerto Rico. BY JACKIE WELTON DIPILLO

hen Tulsa native Juan Reinoso opened an arts foundation on a tiny Puerto Rican island in 2015, it was his response to a personal loss. The Brittany Foundation for Dance, Film and Theatre in Vieques, Puerto Rico, honors his life partner, Brittany McGrath, who died unexpectedly the previous year. The pair had traveled to Puerto Rico several times. Witnessing its beauty and its impoverished conditions, they hoped to do something for its residents. In 2014, shortly after McGrath graduated from law school in New York, she and her father were killed in a car accident. “We had planned on creating something in Vieques, so this is in her honor,” Reinoso says of the school, which celebrates one of McGrath’s hobbies: dancing. Within two years, Reinoso used his own money to offer 12 monthly classes, including ballet, hiphop and choreography, and had 45 students. “My goal is to eventually provide a wide range of film and theater classes on the island and provide scholarship tie-ins to other prestigious organizations across the country,” says Reinoso, who is a writer/ producer/director in film, theater and commercials. He splits his time between Brooklyn and Tulsa. A 1993 Cascia Hall alumnus, Reinoso was born and raised in Tulsa, and is a first-generation 20

American. His parents have artistic backgrounds and instilled in him the importance of education and the arts. In August, Reinoso brought the Ballet of Puerto Rico, featuring Prima Ballerina Laura Valentín, to Tulsa for an event at Cascia Hall Performing Arts Center. The performance raised funds for The Brittany and for scholarships for qualifying Puerto Rican students. However, on Sept. 20, 2017, the day after this interview, the foundation’s plans changed dramatically when Category 5 Hurricane Maria roared through Puerto Rico. The Vieques middle school where The Brittany’s classes meet suffered some minor damage and became a shelter and relief assistance depot. The foundation was preparing to begin classes in October but was forced to temporarily suspend them due to the devastation of Hurricane Maria. “We are in regular discussions with relief assistance to determine when the foundation can once again begin classes in the most productive manner for enough students to be able to even attend,” Reinoso says. Meanwhile, he is meeting with benefactors and politicians to assist in the relief and recovery efforts. When asked what Tulsa can do, Reinoso says, “Plan vacations to Vieques. The tourist season was about to start, so the economy is ruined.” TP

MEET AND GREET NAME: Justin Harlan AGE: 31 KNOWN FOR: His work as the new executive director of Reading Partners, a nonproﬁt that pairs community volunteers with students grades K-3 who are reading below grade level to provide one-on-one reading tutoring.

On the importance of third-grade literacy: In third grade, education shifts from learning to read to reading to learn. If you don’t have those skills, you fall more and more behind. Our future as a city relies on third-grade literacy. Without it, we’re not going to have people in college, and we’re not going to have skilled workers. We might not be feeling it now, but in 10 or 15 years, we’re certainly going to be feeling it. On the volunteers: Our volunteers are what make us go. We have a goal of 1,700 volunteers to impact 1,500 kids, but we’d love to exceed that goal. I know Tulsa has people who really rally behind organizations like Reading Partners. (At press time, Reading Partners had 1,127 volunteers.) On the mayor’s support: This year G.T. Bynum has given every City of Tulsa employee permission to go volunteer and be a Reading Partner. He has a goal of 100 employees. We’re just about to that goal. It’s a unique setting when the mayor is rallying behind you. — JULIE WENGER WATSON

BIZ WHIZ: VALERIE GRANT; MONTGOMERY: GREG BOLLINGER

ulsan Jane Montgomery’s 30-plusyear career in costume design recently hit a high note when she received a national award for her work in Theatre Tulsa’s 2017 production of “Sweeney Todd.” “It’s like the Oscars for community theater,” Montgomery says of the American Association of Community Theatre competition that honored her for “Excellence in Costume Design.” In the Theatre Tulsa production, actors began as Gypsy performers from the 1890s before transitioning into their “Sweeney Todd” characters, so Montgomery had to create several pieces that could serve both purposes. A few pieces were reversible, while others could be covered or removed later in the show. Montgomery has designed costumes for 10 feature films and commercials, but she has spent most of her career designing for theater, which she prefers. She spends a lot of time researching period clothing for productions like “Sweeney Todd.” “I love history, and I’m fascinated with what people used to wear,” she says. “It’s really a reflection of who they were, especially back 300 or 400 years ago.” This was the first year Theatre Tulsa entered the costume design category of the AACT competition, says Jarrod Kopp, the newly appointed executive director for Theatre Tulsa. He says it’s a big deal for the company. It’s certainly a big deal to Montgomery. “I’m kind of in the fourth quarter of my career,” she says, “so it was really nice to get the award.” — MORGAN PHILLIPS

att Vernon was willing to risk everything to make his career dream come true. He gave up his apartment lease and a vehicle to secure the funding he needed to open Primate Jiu Jitsu martial arts academy in April 2015. “For several months, he lived in the back of Primate Jiu Jitsu with an air mattress and his dog,” says Vernon’s wife, Kendall. “Matt would either use Uber to get from place to place, or he would catch a ride with friends since he didn’t have a car himself.” Vernon had personal reasons to risk so much for his dreams. Brazilian jiu jitsu, a martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling and ground fighting, had changed his life. In 2007, Vernon was depressed and living an unhealthy lifestyle. At his lowest point, he says he smoked a pack of cigarettes a day and drank too much alcohol. But his biggest struggle was his lack of purpose in life. A friend was training for an upcoming MMA

fight and asked Vernon, who had a history of aggression and street fighting, to be his sparring partner. Vernon quickly realized the power of Brazilian jiu jitsu and fell in love with the sport. Slowly but surely, Vernon says he gave up his unhealthy habits, including smoking and drinking alcohol and even soda. Now a coach with a black belt, he finds his purpose through helping others become stronger and healthier. Primate Jiu Jitsu recently moved to a new 5,300-square-foot facility near Promenade Mall. Its 100 students and six instructors participate in classes and private lessons on shockabsorbent mats specially designed to absorb the impact of wrestling takedowns and judo throws. His clients learn the sport Vernon compares to “human chess” in a safe, clean environment. “Seeing so many people change their lives motivates me to work even harder,” Vernon says. “The adults lose their bad habits, while the kids go from being shy to tough warriors who have discipline and confidence.” TP TulsaPeople.com

This past summer, James Mission moved into the Cornerstone Community Center, located in the west Tulsa neighborhood of South Haven.

From the ashes

A nearly abandoned west Tulsa community center is being reborn, thanks to a faithful few. BY MORGAN PHILLIPS

hen it opened in September 2012, Cornerstone Community Center was 20,000 square feet of pure potential for the lowincome west Tulsa community of South Haven. The Rev. Willard Jones and Greater Cornerstone Baptist, his church of several hundred members, raised $7.2 million in private funds to build the modern, two-story building that offered the neighborhood’s residents a wide range of social services and recreation. Some of Tulsa’s largest foundations and corporations supported the capital campaign. But less than two years after the center’s opening, Jones was indicted for embezzling nearly $1 million from its coffers. He was sentenced to 37 months in prison and ordered to repay the stolen funds. In the months and years that followed, the underutilized Cornerstone 22

Community Center reeled from the impact of Jones’ poor choices. Under the leadership of his former employees and congregants, Rossalyn and Lewis Wilson, South Haven residents still benefitted from an after-school program and food and clothing assistance at the center, which also hosted weekend basketball tournaments. Yet without enough revenue to support the center’s state-of-the-art amenities, the enormous facility nearly went into bankruptcy. Cornerstone Community Center was days from being boarded up. Fortunately, the center was reborn this past July as the new headquarters for the nonprofit James Mission, which has served foster and adoptive families in the Tulsa area since 2013. Now the center’s staff and supporters are looking to the future and trying to learn from the past.

TROUBLED WATERS

With rumors of Jones’ embezzlement and his eventual indictment, excitement and progress at Cornerstone Community Center largely screeched to a halt. Funders lost confidence in the project. Most of the agencies that had established an onsite presence at the center — including Domestic Violence Intervention Services, Family and Children’s Services, and Morton Comprehensive Health Services — packed up and left. The center’s closing seemed imminent, but it would have been yet another blow to South Haven residents. Realizing this, and seeing the facility’s potential, the Tulsa Community Foundation — one of the center’s original funders — worked with the Oklahoma attorney general’s office to become receiver of the property in February 2015, says TCF CEO Phil Lakin. TCF’s scope and its involvement with the center made it a natural fit to oversee the transition of the property to another nonprofit, Lakin says. However, more issues came to light. For example, TCF learned the center sits on 21 parcels of land it doesn’t legally own — a result of land donations and sales that did not follow the proper legal protocols. Lakin says TCF is still undergoing the arduous process to find and transfer the various titles to the Greater Cornerstone entit, a nonprofit separate from the church. Additionally, there were delinquent bills and overdue maintenance. Lakin says 25 funders, led by a steering committee of five or six funders, committed to sustain the center’s operations to reduce the financial burden for a future nonprofit. “At one point, it was, ‘Who can give $10,000? Who can give $5,000?’” Lakin says of his petition to funders. Eventually, “All of them were saying, ‘Look, we can’t give any more. We’ve already given more than we could afford to give.’” Since Jones’ indiscretion, TCF alone has given about a quarter-million dollars to keep the facility open, Lakin says. During this time, “The funders gave us what (money) was left for operations, which wasn’t a lot, and said, ‘Here’s all that’s left. Take care of it,’” recalls Rossalyn Wilson. In the midst of the center’s legal and financial turmoil, TCF needed to find a nonprofit willing to take over its operations and existing programs. A possible solution came to Lakin at Costco, of all places.

THE RIGHT FIT

While shopping at the bulk warehouse in early 2017, Lakin ran into Joey Reyes, husband of Lyndsey Reyes, the executive director and founder of James Mission. The couple, who has fostered dozens of children over the

Humble heroes DESPITE VARIOUS HEALTH PROBLEMS, Lewis Wilson, 68, put his heart and soul into his role as Cornerstone Community Center’s facility director. Before James Mission relocated to the center, Lewis could be found working seven days a week, including 13-15 hours on Saturdays, says his wife, Rossalyn. His duties entailed “camping out” at the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma at 7 a.m. two or three times a week to gather items for the center’s food distribution program that feeds 75-100 families per month. The fresh produce goes first. “When they open up the warehouse, it’s like, snatch and grab,” Lewis laughs. “Most agencies have five to six people shopping, and they bring their own box trucks.” Lewis usually had himself and a Ford Fusion. (Sometimes, a volunteer, Daisy Polite, would assist with her SUV.) Lewis also was the center’s kitchen manager, who created quite the reputation among South Haven residents and visiting basketball teams. Instead of traditional concessions, Cornerstone Community Center served up fish, hamburgers and house-made french fries. Lewis even made hearty breakfasts of chicken and waffles, biscuits and gravy and more. As the interim center director, Rossalyn was always behind the scenes, making sure programs ran as seamlessly and efficiently as possible. Despite their workload, Lewis and Rossalyn say the South Haven youth kept them going. “Their parents know we love (the kids) like our own kids,” says Lewis, who was a substitute teacher in north Tulsa between his retirement from the telecom industry and coming to Cornerstone. “The reason I stayed is because I have a heart for youth. I would rather see them at the center than roaming the street and getting into trouble.” Under James Mission’s leadership, the Wilsons remain on staff at the center, though their new titles are still being worked out, Rossalyn says. However, they don’t plan on going anywhere. “Parents in the community always tell us how much they appreciate (this center) and what it’s doing for the community,” she says. “I couldn’t leave that.” Tulsa Community Foundation CEO Phil Lakin is among the Wilsons’ biggest supporters. “Ros and Lewis have done such a great job at the center for so long,” he says. “My hat is off to them for the way they have served that community and how they have loved its people.” TulsaPeople.com

years, started the nonprofit from their Broken Arrow home. James Mission served 1,949 children and 213 adults in 2016 and had grown out of the warehouse where it was operating at East 41st Street and South Memorial Avenue. Already familiar with the Reyeses and James Mission, Lakin says he told Joey about the community center and encouraged Lyndsey to submit a business plan to the steering committee. A few other nonprofits did the same, but James Mission was ultimately the best fit. “The steering committee was attracted to James Mission based on its leadership, volunteer base, the financial soundness of the institution and their willingness to pick up those programs” currently being run at the center, Lakin says. In July, James Mission entered into a lease agreement with TCF that allows the nonprofit to occupy the center rent-free for one year. In exchange, James Mission took over operations and expanded its own services literally overnight to oversee the programs facilitated by the Wilsons. The arrangement is not permanent, and questions remain. “If everything works out and we get all of the real estate issues resolved, do we continue the lease (with James Mission)? What happens?” Lakin says. “There are things both parties need to experience before making that decision. … (But James Mission) is helping to fill a void that needs to be filled right now.”

By moving into the Cornerstone Community Center, James Mission went from a 3,000-square-foot space to one nearly seven times its size. That extra space allowed for an expansion of services, including rooms like these that allow Department of Human Services caseworkers to supervise interactions between children in state custody and their biological parents.

A DREAM COME TRUE

Lyndsey Reyes’ eyes shine as she sits behind her desk in what was once the office of Willard Jones. She is still in disbelief that James Mission went from a 3,000-square-foot facility to a building nearly seven times its size. “It’s totally (because of ) God that we got this,” she says. “It’s just nuts.” The extra space has allowed James Mission to expand its services to the foster and adoptive community at the heart of the organization’s original vision. In August and September James Mission hosted two statewide training events for foster parents. The building also made possible a resource Reyes dreamed of for years: a cozy visitation center where Department of Human Services caseworkers can supervise interactions between children in state custody and their biological parents, who are working to get their kids back. The programs James Mission inherited continue as promised. With the help of the Wilsons, Reyes oversees the center’s after-school program, clothing pantry and food pantry, which is facilitated by Hannah and Benny Cosar of The Building Project. (Previously operating out of Eastwood Baptist Church, The Building Project serves the homeless and relocated to South Haven with James Mission earlier this year.) In August, James Mission ran its first back-to-school giveaway from the center. This fall, it began an affordable basketball league for area elementary school students. The center also will continue to host basketball tournaments and will expand to host camps and other events, all of which will help generate operational revenue, Reyes says. This month, James Mission will run its annual Christmas outreach from its new building. In the past, the event allowed parents to receive new donated toys and clothing for their foster children; now all low-income families can apply to participate. Reyes says she always envisioned James Mission would become a onestop shop for foster and adoptive families. Now its goal is still the same, just broader: to serve all families in need. She says, “To break cycles, we need to offer full wrap-around services” — an outlook that brings the center’s original purpose full circle.

A CHALLENGING TRANSITION

Although James Mission’s move to South Haven appears to be a fresh start for the neighborhood, those involved say the transition has not been easy. “There was a lot of hurt in the community, a lot of empty promises,” says Reyes, who met some initial resistance from South Haven families. “We’ve had to explain that (the building) is not a community center anymore. Kids can’t just come in and hang out and watch TV. There are major liability issues.” 24

TulsaPeople DECEMBER 2017

History of South Haven THE QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD of South Haven is bordered by West 51st Street and 55th Place and 37th and 41st West avenues. Between 1918 and 1920, Tulsa pioneer Oscar Schlegel founded and named the area, which soon attracted a group of early African-American settlers. In the days following the Tulsa Race Riot of 1921, the town became a literal haven for displaced blacks, says Lewis Wilson, and its population swelled. Over the years, South Haven grew into a thriving community and was annexed by Tulsa in 1966. In the late ’70s and ’80s, the neighborhood became ridden with drugs, says Rossalyn Wilson. Habitat for Humanity eventually built 60-70 homes in South Haven, bringing more stability to the area.

Reyes says the Wilsons, the center’s stalwarts, were key in helping James Mission gain residents’ understanding and trust. But even Lewis Wilson concedes some initial reluctance. “James Mission had a different vision than we did,” he explains. “They never planned to do some of the things we were doing.” The process of bringing the center’s existing programs under James Mission’s purview was like becoming a blended family, Lewis says. Both sides were reluctant to change. In the end, a childhood memory helped him get on board with the new leadership. “I remembered back to my youth experience and knowing people who took care of foster kids,” he says. “Sometimes kids at school would tease the kids. “The first month (after James Mission moved into the center) I probably never smiled, and I didn’t talk too much. But then I started seeing what ( James Mission is) doing, and my attitude changed.” Now Lewis says he is confident in the strides being made by all parties and in James Mission’s long-term success in South Haven. “I’m hoping eventually the funders’ (of the original Cornerstone development) hearts will be touched to help James Mission,” he says. “Now we have someone who is dotting all the Is and crossing all the Ts and trying to do right by the community.”

‘LESSONS LEARNED’

When a child is removed from their home and placed into state custody, they can only grab a few things. Loads of Love bags are given to these kids and include a weeks’ worth of clothing, pajamas and other clothing essentials, along with a new stuffed animal, toy and blanket.

After all TCF has been through with Cornerstone Community Center, Lakin still keeps Willard Jones’ business card on the bookshelf in his office. “I keep it here to remind me of lessons learned and things we (as a foundation) should have done better from the outset,” Lakin says. What can be done to prevent something like this from happening again? That’s the question that keeps Lakin, and likely some of the city’s philanthropists, up at night. Although no one could have foreseen his embezzlement, Jones had previous financial problems, which could have been a red flag, Lakin says. He says he strongly believes it is the duty of a nonprofit’s board of directors to keep tabs on the organization’s financials and investigate wrongdoing. But he and the group of Cornerstone funders are now tasked with determining whether broader financial oversight — even oversight of an organization’s board of directors — is the responsibility of the organization’s lead funders, or perhaps something TCF can be hired to perform. One thing is certain: “The Willard Jones effect is still alive and well” as foundations more carefully scrutinize applications for funding, Lakin says. While that scrutiny is good on one hand, he says it “causes a lot of extra work for nonprofits who have nothing but good intentions.”

Through Jones’ indictment, the Wilsons suffered not only a professional loss, but also a personal one. “He was an awesome pastor, and his vision was awesome,” Lewis says of Jones, who was his college classmate and longtime friend. “We still felt like, going into the financial audit, things were going to wash out.” But their faith only went so far. After sentencing, the Wilsons chose not to communicate with Jones. They say they don’t harbor any bad feelings — just sadness. “Everybody has things they go through in life,” Rossalyn says. “We just pray for him.” Like the Wilsons, many South Haven residents have forgiven Jones. But they can’t forget. After all, the fruit of his vision can still be seen from their front yards and back porches. For some, the towering structure might always be a reminder of broken promises. But for those who embrace the work of James Mission, it could be a phoenix rising to offer the neighborhood a second chance at its own rebirth.

SEVEN RECIPES INSPIRED BY BELOVED HOLIDAY FILMS BY NATALIE MIKLES

THERE’S NO TIME LIKE THE HOLIDAYS TO CURL UP AT HOME WITH GOOD FOOD, warm drinks and a movie. Best of all are Christmas movies — those classics or cult favorites that allow us to quote the lines or sing the songs or just let us to be kids again. What’s even more fun is gathering friends or family to watch together, over a themed dinner.

These food and film pairings can be elaborate, with invitations, decorations and four courses of subtle movie references. Or, choose one dish to help tie in the film with the food. It was hard to narrow them down, but we picked seven delicious dishes inspired by popular Christmas films. So, save yourself the hour of browsing Pinterest for menu ideas. Spoiler alert: These recipes are great even if it’s not movie night.

generation of kids watched “Home Alone” and wondered what it would be like to be Kevin McCallister, the 8-year-old boy accidentally left behind while his parents, siblings and extended family go to Paris for Christmas. As a kid, imagining having the whole house to yourself is both terrifying and exhilarating. When Kevin orders a cheese pizza just for himself, perhaps only a kid could know what a great feeling that would be. No sharing, no ﬁghting a sibling for the biggest slice — instead, a whole cheese pizza, all for him. You can recapture that feeling by making your own cheese pizza and watching “Home Alone,” a 1990 movie that despite changing tastes in fashion and home décor, has aged well.

A Lovely Cheese Pizza … Just for Me

Serves 1 2 teaspoons honey 1 package active dry yeast (about 2 ¼ teaspoons) ¾ cup warm water (100 to 110 degrees) 2 cups all-purpose ﬂour ½ teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil or oregano (or a mixture of both) or ¼ teaspoon dried basil or oregano 2 tablespoons stone-ground yellow cornmeal ½ to ¾ cup pizza sauce, homemade or store-bought 8 ounces sliced fresh mozzarella cheese 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 2 to 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

‘HOME ALONE’

TulsaPeople DECEMBER 2017

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a large bowl, dissolve the honey and yeast in ¾ cup warm water. Let stand 5 minutes or until bubbly. Add 2 cups flour, salt and chopped herbs to yeast mixture; stir until a soft dough forms. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 6 minutes. Add enough of the remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands. The dough might feel a little sticky. Place dough in a large bowl coated with olive oil or cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place free from drafts, 30 minutes or until doubled in size. (Gently press two fingers into dough. If the indentation remains, the dough has risen enough.) On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 12-inch circle. Place dough on a pre-heated baking sheet or pizza stone sprinkled with cornmeal. Crimp edges of dough with fingers to form a rim. Top the crust with the pizza sauce, sliced mozzarella, shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan. Bake for 12-15 minutes.

‘HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS!’ Dr. Seuss knew how to make all our Grinchy hearts grow three times their size when he wrote the beloved “How the Grinch Stole Christmas!” Kids have been watching the animated short ﬁlm adaptation since 1966, and the full-length live action version became a new classic when it came to the big screen in 2000. For many, it just isn’t Christmas without Cindy-Lou Who and the Grinch. “He took the Whos’ feast! He took the Who-pudding! He took the roast beast! He cleaned out that icebox as quick as a ﬂash. Why, the Grinch even took their last can of Who-hash!”

Stolen Roast Beef with Cracked Peppercorns

Serves 8 2 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 3 cloves garlic, minced ¾ teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon cracked pink and black peppercorns 1 (2 ½ pound) center-cut beef tenderloin roast Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl, combine mustard, olive oil, garlic, salt and peppercorns. Spread mixture over the beef tenderloin. Place roast on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. For medium-rare, cook the beef, uncovered, for 35-40 minutes or until internal temperature registers 135 degrees on an instant-read thermometer. For medium, cook the beef, uncovered, for 45-50 minutes or until meat reaches 150 degrees. Cover with foil, and let stand 15 minutes before slicing. Meat temperature will rise about 10 degrees after standing. Cut roast into 8 slices. Serve roast with a horseradish cream sauce or an assortment of roasted root vegetables or ﬁgs.

Clark’s Classic Eggnog Serves 6 6 eggs, separated ½ cup sugar ¾ cup good bourbon ¼ cup good brandy ½ cup heavy cream 1 ½ cups whole milk 1 ½ cups half and half Pinch of cinnamon 1 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg

In a bowl, beat egg yolks and sugar on low speed until blended. Turn mixer to high and beat until thick and pale, about 10 minutes. Add bourbon and brandy in a thin drizzle while continuing to beat at high speed. Cover and refrigerate at least 20 minutes. Whip egg whites and heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside. Pour chilled egg and bourbon/brandy mixture into a large bowl or large pitcher. Add milk, half and half, cinnamon and nutmeg. Gently fold in egg whites and cream mixture. Sprinkle with more nutmeg to serve. 30

This adult movie deserves an adult drink, especially if you’re awaiting the arrival of crazy relatives. Cousin Eddie in 1989’s “Christmas Vacation” can make just about anyone feel better about their family. And our eggnog, spiked with a healthy dose of bourbon and brandy, could do just the trick to make an awkward family gathering a little more convivial. “Can I reﬁll your eggnog for you? Get you something to eat? Drive you out to the middle of nowhere and leave you for dead?” — Clark Griswold

‘A Christmas Carol’ It’s a moment of pure joy when Mrs. Cratchit brings the Christmas pudding to the table in “A Christmas Carol.” Even though the pudding is rather small — though no one would dare say it — the pudding itself is a symbol of Christmas cheer, love and the bonds of family. English pudding is traditionally made with suet (raw, hard beef or mutton fat), candied and dried fruit, egg and brandy. It’s often steamed or boiled and is sometimes ﬂambéed just before serving. It’s quite similar to American fruitcake, but often with a softer texture. We found a pudding that’s all-around more likeable, plus it’s super simple and is baked in a slow cooker. Serve it in honor of “A Christmas Carol” while watching your favorite version, whether it be the 1938 original with Reginald Owen or the 2009 ﬁlm with Jim Carrey as Scrooge.

Gingerbread Pudding

Serves 8 1 (12-ounce) French bread loaf, cut into 1-inch cubes 1 ½ cups chopped pecans, toasted 1 cup raisins 3 large eggs, lightly beaten 3 cups half-and-half 1 cup ﬁrmly packed light brown sugar ¾ cup molasses ¼ cup butter, melted 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon ground ginger ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg Whipped cream, for topping In a slow cooker, combine French bread, pecans and raisins. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and remaining ingredients. Pour over bread mixture, stirring well to coat ingredients; cover and let stand 30 minutes. Stir again to coat bread evenly with egg mixture. Cover and cook on low 4 hours or until set. Let stand 15 minutes before serving. Serve with whipped cream dusted with cinnamon. TulsaPeople.com

“A Christmas Story” checks all the boxes for a theme party. The 1983 cult classic turned family favorite is full of one-liners often used to ﬁnish each other’s sentences. Decorations for this party can be as extravagant as you like, but if you only do one thing, get a leg lamp. For food, you can make pink bunny cookies or your favorite fudge — labeled of, course, “Oh, fudge.” But the tastiest thing you can make comes from the movie’s ending. Ralphie and his family end up at the Bo’ Ling Chop Suey Palace for Christmas dinner, where the waiters sing Christmas carols and Peking duck takes the place of the Christmas turkey. This Moo Shu Pork is traditionally served on Mandarin pancakes. But it’s also good served with rice or rice noodles.

Set eggs aside with pork. In the same pan, add 2 teaspoons sesame oil, shiitake mushrooms, ginger and garlic. Cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Add shredded cabbage, sprouts, half the scallions and 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Mix and cook until tender, 2-3 minutes. Return eggs and pork to the pan, then add hoisin sauce and rice wine and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Stir in the other half of scallions.

‘ELF’ If Buddy the Elf had his way, we would all be eating bowls of spaghetti covered in maple syrup, marshmallows, chocolate sauce and candy. But since we didn’t grow up at the North Pole, how about something a little more appetizing? “Elf,” released in 2003, is one of those rare Christmas movies loved by both kids and adults. It’s a fun one to watch while decorating the tree or wrapping presents. Make it even more fun with a themed dinner to go along with the movie. This spaghetti has the colorful toppings of Buddy’s pasta, but with much better ﬂavor.

Buddy’s Christmas Spaghetti

Serves 4 1 cup balsamic vinegar ¼ cup pine nuts 1 pound uncooked spaghetti 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 small yellow onion, chopped 4 Italian sausages, sliced (casings removed) 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 (28-ounce) can whole San Marzano tomatoes 1 cup fresh basil, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried oregano teaspoon crushed red pepper Pinch of sugar Salt and pepper, to taste ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. To make balsamic reduction: In a small saucepan, bring balsamic vinegar to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer 5 minutes or until the mixture has been reduced by half. Set aside. Place pine nuts on a baking sheet, and toast in the oven until fragrant and golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. Set aside. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Cook dried pasta according to package directions. While pasta is cooking, warm olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Cook onion with Italian sausage until sausage is cooked through and onion is tender. Add garlic, cooking just until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes, slightly crushing with the back of a spoon. Bring to a simmer. Add basil, oregano, crushed red pepper, salt and pepper. Add spaghetti to sauce, coating noodles. Pour into a large serving dish. Drizzle with reduced balsamic, freshly grated Parmesan cheese and toasted pine nuts.

‘The Polar Express’ “Here we’ve only got one rule: Never, ever let it cool!” The hot chocolate scene in 2004’s “The Polar Express” is such fun and makes you want a cup of your own immediately. Invite your neighbors or your kids’ friends over for a “Polar Express” party, where everyone can come in their coziest ﬂannel pajamas and warm up with mugs of hot chocolate. Hot chocolate and hot cocoa are both delicious, but let’s distinguish between the two. Hot cocoa is a less rich drink — and easier to make. Hot chocolate is made with good chocolate bars, melted and combined with milk, cream or, for a really decadent drink, sweetened condensed milk.

Polar Express Hot Chocolate Serves 4

½ cup water 4 ounces bittersweet, semi-sweet or milk chocolate, cut into ¼-inch pieces 2 cups milk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract In a small saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Remove from heat. Add chocolate, and shake the pan to make sure all the chocolate is covered by the water. Set it aside for 5 minutes to melt the chocolate. In another, larger saucepan, bring the milk to a simmer. Whisk the chocolate and water mixture until smooth and whisk it into the milk. Continue to heat until very hot, but do not bring to a full boil. Whisk to make the chocolate frothy. Remove from heat, add vanilla, and serve immediately. TP 34

W H AT’S COOK ING?

PUMP-ED UP MULE IN THE LAND OF HEAVY NOGS AND HOT TODDIES, sometimes a lighter libation is needed to reinvigorate the palate. At Maryn’s Taphouse and Raw Bar, 400 Riverwalk Terrace in Jenks, the bar staff has made some merry modiﬁcations to an old favorite. The Pumpkin Spice Mule is everything you love about a Moscow Mule, but with some serious spice. By swapping regular vodka for apple cinnamon-infused vodka, then adding a splash of pumpkin simple syrup, the creation blends harmoniously with the ginger beer for a real holiday zing. Mix up a few of these for a get-together, and spirits are sure to be bright.

The buzz on Tulsa’s tastiest products, restaurants and events BY NATALIE MIKLES

atkes golden brown and crisp, fresh from the hot oil, are particularly loved during Hanukkah. These potato pancakes are perfect on their own and don’t need any garnish. But if you want to try a topping, you can’t go wrong with the traditional applesauce or sour cream. If you want to elevate them further — maybe for a dinner party — then try topping with a rosy cranberry applesauce, a tarragon cream or smoked salmon. The Congregation B’nai Emunah cookbook has three recipes for latkes, including a tempting sweet potato variation. But Rabbi Marc Boone Fitzerman’s and Greg Raskin’s recipe might just be the best.The recipe has been crowd-sourced from many years of experimenting at the synagogue. Fitzerman says this version makes enough for a family, but if you need to serve 250, give him a call.

Bill Kelamis

The ONLY Physician Assistant Program in Tulsa.

BECAUSE THERE’S ONLY ONE Q&A

our generations of the Kelamis family have played a role in the Savoy, 6033 S. Sheridan Road. It all began in 1910 when Nick Kelamis moved to the U.S. from Greece to create a better life for himself and his family. Today, Nick’s grandson, Bill Kelamis, and great-grandson, Evan Kelamis, run the ever-popular spot known for cinnamon rolls, big breakfasts and comfort food. Here’s what Bill has to say about the Savoy’s Tulsa tradition. YOU HAVE A LONG HISTORY IN TULSA. WHY DO YOU THINK THE SAVOY HAS STAYED POPULAR FOR SO MANY YEARS? We work diligently to have high-quality food and good service in a clean atmosphere, and we maintain a friendly rapport with our customers. Those are the basics. We have been willing to go the extra mile to make the food we serve from scratch using the highest-quality ingredients we can ﬁnd. Some things can’t be rushed, and we’re willing to take the time necessary to do it right. We don’t compromise on these principles. IN TULSA, SAY THE WORD, “SAVOY,” AND PEOPLE SAY, “CINNAMON ROLL.” WHAT IS IT ABOUT THOSE CINNAMON ROLLS THAT MAKES THEM SO SPECIAL? We give great attention to the quality of the dough used in our cinnamon rolls and are generous with the other ingredients, like cinnamon. It’s also a process, which starts the previous day. All the work is done by hand, and we only sell fresh cinnamon rolls.

WHAT THINGS ON THE MENU DO CUSTOMERS LOVE BESIDES THE CINNAMON ROLLS? Our breakfast skillets are very popular. House-made chorizo is a more recent hit. Lunch specials like roast turkey and dressing (Thursday only) and skillet-fried chicken (Friday) have a strong following. Our eggs Benedict served on a homemade English mufﬁn with fresh hollandaise is one of our most popular items. Try it with chorizo. WHAT MUSIC DO YOU LISTEN TO IN THE KITCHEN? None. Sometimes you’ll hear tunes in our bakery, but our kitchen has always been strictly business. Mike Master Human Student WOULD WEofFIND IN Relations YOUR FRIDGE

Jennifer Weakley, MD Family Medicine

WHAT AT HOME? Fresh ingredients: chicken, cheese, salad makings, and fruit and veggies. WHO TAUGHT YOU TO COOK? My father. DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE CHRISTMAS MEMORY? When I was 4 or 5 years old and woke to a “ho ho ho” sound thinking it was Santa. It was my father. WHAT FOODS DO YOU MAKE FOR CHRISTMAS IN YOUR FAMILY? In the past we often did a traditional Thanksgiving-style meal: turkey, dressing, etc. But in recent years we’ve become partial to smoking a bone-in ribeye on the Hasty Bake, served with whipped potatoes and chocolate pie for dessert.

rowing up working on farms, Randy Owens knew he wanted a similar life. However, it wasn’t wheat or corn that he wanted to grow. Owens bought Pleasant Valley Farms, a former cattle farm west of Sand Springs, in 1999. He planted his first crop of Christmas trees a year later and sold his first tree in 2003. “They were small, some maybe 4 feet tall,” he says. “I think I sold 20 trees, and I was happy about it.” Now he sells about 2,000 trees a year to families who return annually to pick out their own Christ-

mas tree, many taking the opportunity to cut it down themselves. “When I started, I thought everyone wanted to a perfect tree, but some want tall and skinny, some want short and stocky,” he says. So he offers trees of all shapes and sizes. “Trees are like people. Each is unique and different, and people want unique and different.” Owens grows several types of pine trees, including Virginia pine, Scotch pine and white pine. He also brings in a few varieties of pre-cut fir trees, which can’t grow in Oklahoma, such as Canaan fir, Douglas fir and Fraser fir. Pleasant Valley Farms’ Christmas festivities begin the day after Thanksgiving. In addition to trees, Pleasant Valley Farms offers visitors free hot chocolate, cider and coffee. And on the weekends, children can visit Santa in his workshop. The farm also has a gift shop with a variety of Christmas ornaments, traditional wooden toys, an array of Christmas decor and fresh, live wreaths made onsite. Being surrounded by Christmas trees yearround doesn’t take away Owens’ holiday spirit. “I like the smells, I like the lights,” he says. “It’s my favorite time of the year. Everyone is in a good mood.” TP

A walk to remember

ecember is a time for many traditions in Tulsa. One of those is the Cascia Christmas Walk. The Catholic Augustinian school Cascia Hall is organizing its 35th annual event, set for 11 a.m.-5 p.m., Dec. 3. This year, Tulsans will tour four midtown homes decorated for the holiday season. Although styles and themes have changed over the years, one constant has been Toni Garner of Toni’s Flowers and Gifts. This year marks Garner’s 34th walk for which she designed decorations for the home of Frank Cooper and Mary Quinn Cooper. Garner added seasonal flourishes that tap into the 1928 home’s updated, yet traditional, style. White orchids and gold metallic accents complement magnolia swags in the living room, and the kitchen’s modern, colorful aesthetics, including artwork by Sara Westover, blend well with simple white Christmas trees. Along with the home tour, the school grounds will be filled with activity throughout the day. New this year is the Santa Brunch from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. “Kids will have the opportunity to meet Santa, make crafts, take pictures and dine on whimsical, kid-friendly food,” say co-chairs Ashleigh Boedeker and Heather Duncan. Brunch tickets are $15, are available in advance or at the door, and do not include admission to the tour. Also new this year, the school is organizing its first art walk inside the Scianna Performing Arts Center. The gallery will feature artwork from alumni and local artists, as well as pieces from the M.A. Doran gallery. A boutique featuring dozens of regional and local vendors will be inside the high school gymnasium. Insividual students and ensembles will perform at the tour homes and provide entertainment throughout the event. In honor of the 35th anniversary walk, the school named Marge Gaberino and Margaret Peters honorary chairs. Peters was the walk’s first chairwoman, and Gaberino has previously served as chairwoman, too. Tickets to the walk are $15 in advance or $20 at the door. Proceeds benefit Cascia Hall scholarships and programs. Cascia Hall is located at 2520 S. Yorktown Ave. To purchase tickets or for more information, visit casciahall.com. — ANNE BROCKMAN

BEYOND CITY LIMITS

A capital Christmas ‘TIS THE SEASON IN GUTHRIE.

he first time I visited Guthrie, I attended an outdoor concert. I’d never seen any photos of the town or learned much about its history. I’m sure I learned in high school that it was the first capital of Oklahoma, but that knowledge didn’t stick. Even so, knowing that it was the territorial capital of the Sooner State would not have prepared me for how vibrant the local culture is today, or how much beautiful architecture lines the brick streets of downtown. The city remains proud of its early days and frontier heritage; it’s easy to place yourself back in 1910, when Oklahoma City became the capital. The downtown district is designated as a National Historic Landmark and contains dozens of ornate storefronts dating to the late 1800s. In fact, it’s the largest urban historic district in the state. Today the historic sites contain a wide array of local businesses, including antique shops, bed and breakfasts, bars and restaurants. There’s even an old saloon where early Western movie star Tom Mix once tended bar. There are a few museums that merit closer inspection. The Oklahoma Territorial Museum and Carnegie Library, 406 E. Oklahoma Ave., tells the story of the 1889 Land Run and beyond. You can even schedule an appointment with one of the librarians for genealogy research.

TulsaPeople DECEMBER 2017

The Oklahoma Frontier Drugstore Museum and Apothecary Garden, 214 W. Oklahoma Ave., is a wonderful collection of drugstore artifacts from the turn of the century. It too has an old soda fountain. The historic significance of the city’s downtown architecture lends itself well to its annual Territorial Christmas celebration. The holiday event has been around for more than 20 years and celebrates Guthrie’s unique cultural heritage. Historic homes, churches and the Carnegie Library will be decked for the season as part of the community’s historic homes tour on Dec. 9. The city also will host two Victorian Walk evenings on Dec. 9 and 16. Guests can walk the streets among carolers, vendors and locals, all dressed in period costumes. At 120 W. Harrison Ave., the Pollard Theatre, which dates back to 1919, puts on a localized production of “A Christmas Carol.” If you happen to be in town Dec. 16, Santa flies in to the Guthrie-Edmond Regional Airport, 520 Airport Road. If you need a warm-up during your visit, try Hoboken Coffee Roasters, 224 S. Division St., a locally owned roaster that has restored an old garage to serve as its coffee bar. For food, I’ve had consistently great experiences at Stables Cafe, 223 N. Division St. I also can’t resist a quick stop into Rick’s Fine Chocolates, 109A W. Oklahoma Ave., to take something home. There’s no shortage of good eats downtown; a short walk will provide you with a lot of options. TP

MUSINGS

COLOR ME ... BY CONNIE CRONLEY

“T

he color blue suppresses the appetite.” Thus sayeth my “Old Farmer’s Almanac,” so it must be true. Consequently, I’ll wear a lot of blue as I face holiday banquets, buffets, parties and cookie platters. “The color green soothes the nerves and promotes healing,” according to the almanac. So I’ll add green because my jangled nerves need a lot of healing. A vision in blue and green, that’s my game plan. I’ll be mellow and merely nibbling. This has made me wonder about other colors and what influence they’re having on me. I’ve always worn blue because I have blue eyes and have been told blue is a flattering color for me. Except for the period when I wore a lot of black, but that was during my Beatnik days. And then again during my Little Black Dress era. For a while I dressed primarily in pastel colors because a color specialist diagnosed me as a spring person. My sister, on the other hand, was told she’s an autumn and looks best in earth tones. There was a time I gravitated to off-white outfits. I think that was after admiring Faye Dunaway in a cream suit. Wearing cream didn’t make me look like Faye Dunaway any more than wearing black made me look like Audrey Hepburn. “Girl, you’re all washed out,” a woman told me during my white period. “Get some color on yourself.”

TulsaPeople DECEMBER 2017

I lived so long in apartments with white walls that I have recoiled in the opposite direction. My house now looks like a paint box exploded inside it, and I’m thinking about painting the gray exterior doorway gold for another splash of color. I wonder if the neighbors and passersby will say, “Lordie. The rapture must be going on in there.” These days I am drawn especially to the color orange. Orange makes me feel as if I am living an artistic life in Mexico or Morocco. Orange makes me feel as valuable as saffron, the most expensive spice on Earth at more than $5,000 a pound. I know all about orange after reading the lavish — and colorful — book, “The Secret Language of Color” by Joann Eckstut and Arielle Eckstut. For centuries, the authors tell us, the color didn’t have a name of its own; it was called red-yellow. Finally, the French named it for the fruit cultivated in China and carried by traders to Persia and beyond. China still produces millions of oranges, but today the No. 1 grower is Brazil. In the 1890s, Oklahoma State University adopted orange (and black) as school colors, but back in the 16th century, orange was embraced in the Netherlands as a tribute to William of Orange. In horticultural lore, the Dutch also cultivated an orange carrot in his honor. Before then, carrots were predominately red, yellow or purple.

Who knew that New York, the Big Apple, was named briefly New Orange. That was in 1673 after the Dutch won the Anglo-Dutch War, but the name lasted only a year. In Ireland, the color green is associated with the Irish generally and with Irish Catholics particularly, but Northern Irish Protestants claim the color orange in tribute to Protestant King William III of Orange, who defeated the Roman Catholic King James II. Yellow is the color seen most easily in daytime, but at sunrise or sunset, orange is more visible. Which is why fluorescent orange is the popular color of life vests, emergency equipment, hunting gear, traffic cops and construction cones. The world’s most famous orange landmark is the Golden Gate bridge, which is painted International Orange. As much as I love orange, I wish I were a guppy. The tiny male fish have orange patches that attract the female guppies, who are very particular. Female guppies are so discerning, they can see thousands of shades of orange. A bat, on the other hand, cannot see orange at all. I’m a University of Tulsa alumna (blue and gold) and a University of Oklahoma football fan (crimson and cream), and although I’m not as sophisticated as a guppy, I love orange. TP

COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE Why do I need owner’s title insurance when my lender has a title policy? A lender’s title insurance policy insures the enforceability and priority of a lender’s lien. If a title defect were to be discovered, the lender’s policy would not protect the owner. In an owner’s policy, covered risks include forgery in a transaction, abstracting errors, unreleased liens and many other matters. Just as it’s important to insure other significant assets, an owner should obtain a title policy to protect their investment in real estate.

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT I’m 70 and planning to take a 3-week trip to Europe. Does Medicare cover me outside the U.S.? Traditional Medicare typically does not cover health care outside the U.S. and its territories. However, certain Medicare Supplement insurance plans do cover foreign emergency health care costs. These plans usually have a $250 annual deductible, and then pay out 80 percent of necessary costs, subject to a lifetime maximum benefit of $50,000. The insured person has to pay for the deductible, the 20 percent coinsurance and any amounts over the $50,000 maximum. Consider medical trip insurance for the time you will be traveling, including emergency air evacuation.

WILL AND TRUSTS

Does my pet need to be given heartworm preventative all year?

If I have a stroke, will my Last Will help me?

Yes, it’s important to give both dogs and cats heartworm preventative all year, even during the winter months. Although the carrier of heartworms is the mosquito, Oklahoma has a temperate climate, which allows mosquitoes to hatch during the occasional warm day that occurs during colder months. Mosquitoes can also be found indoors during winter. The use of flea preventatives is also recommended all year.

A Last Will and Testament is only in effect if you die. The Will also must be filed to begin a probate proceeding at the courthouse. If you are only incapacitated, a durable power of attorney becomes the necessary document that banks, financial institutions and caregivers request. It reflects the name of the person authorized to help with financial and medical decisions. Please see your estate-planning attorney for a complete review of your options upon incapacity.

“It’s like Christmas every day here,” says Colleen Helms, director of resale store operations for Sophisticated Seconds, the clothing and décor resale shop operated by Hospice of Green Country. The store opened in September 2016 after three years of planning, and is the brainchild of Patty Wilson, Hospice CEO, who had resale shop experience through her affiliation with a nonprofit in Chicago. “We are the first hospice in Tulsa to go this direction in fundraising,” Helms says. The store boasts thousands of pieces of high-end, gently used clothing, accessories and a variety of home items. Twenty-eight volunteers sort items that are brought into the store daily. Everything finds a home, Helms says. Unsellable items are shared with people in need. Proceeds from Sophisticated Seconds benefit the programs Hospice of Green Country has offered its patients and families facing end-of-life issues — regardless of insurance or their ability to pay — since its inception 30 years ago. — JUDY LANGDON

ulsa’s Christian Ministers Alliance was founded as a fellowship organization, but it has a different focus half a century later: youth. “A mind is a terrible thing to waste,” says the Rev. W.R. Casey, echoing a famous college fund slogan. He has been TCMA’s president for nearly 26 years. In addition to bringing together Christian churches of various denominations and races, the alliance has made serving youth a priority. “It’s our job as parents, citizens, preachers to help the young people, to be there for them,” Casey says. With funding from member dues and donations, the alliance adopts 60 Tulsa Public Schools and five Union Public Schools to give away Thanksgiving food baskets as well as Christmas food baskets and toys. The organization also gives college scholarships and hosts a back-to-school bash to provide school supplies for low-income families. Additionally, the alliance is raising $7.5 million to build a youth and education center at the northeast corner of East Apache Street and North Lewis Avenue to address gang violence, drugs, literacy and teen pregnancy. Three acres have been purchased, and the alliance is looking to buy four more. “It’s been my vision for a long time,” Casey says of the facility, which will have a computer lab, a swimming pool, a library and a food pantry and will offer GED classes. “We’ve seen big victories, and we’ve seen a lot of pastors swap pulpits,” Casey says of the alliance’s first 50 years. “We’ve seen things happen, but we want to see more.” Casey says his highest hope for the future is to “see the walls of racism come down” in Tulsa and the U.S. TP

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED ‘Reading Tree Challenge’ connects childhood literacy to an iconic park symbol. BY MORGAN PHILLIPS

Early education is a major emphasis of the George Kaiser Family Foundation, so it’s no surprise that GKFF’s legacy park, A Gathering Place for Tulsa, incorporates this passion. Inspired by the oldest and largest cottonwood tree in the park — dubbed the Reading Tree — the staff of A Gathering Place developed a literacy initiative called the Reading Tree Challenge. Launched this past summer in conjunction with the Tulsa City-County Library’s summer reading program, the challenge asks Tulsa-area children in kindergarten through third grade to collectively read 2 million books by May 2018. However, children of all ages can participate. “Educational programming is a major part of who we are,” says park director Tony Moore. “It only makes sense that the fi rst major program of the park has to do with reading.” At press time, students had read more than 400,000 books, which are logged and tracked online. Moore says students that help meet the goal will receive some type of special recognition when the park opens in 2018. Any Tulsa-area student can participate in the Reading Tree Challenge by registering at tulsareadingtree.org. TP TulsaPeople.com

TTCU FEDERAL CREDIT UNION DONATES NEARLY $1 MILLION TO LOCAL SCHOOLS

Tim Lyons, TTCU CEO and president, presents Deborah Gist, Tulsa Public Schools superintendent, a $19,250 donation. TPS has received nearly $150,000 in School Pride donations since the program began. TTCU Federal Credit Union has a unique way of honoring its educational roots: through its School Pride Visa Check Card program. The School Pride program began in 2007, featuring the colors and logos of 20 area schools. Since its debut, an additional 33 schools have been added to the lineup. The program allows TTCU members to choose a card design for the debit card connected to their TTCU checking account. Along with showing school spirit, each time the card is used to make a purchase, TTCU makes a donation to the school featured on the card. Since its inception, northeastern Oklahoma schools have received nearly $1 million in donations from the program. “As a credit union that was initially established for educators, giving back to schools is a natural ﬁt for us,” says TTCU CEO and President Tim Lyons. “What’s really great is that our members are the ones who choose the schools, allowing them to be just as much a part of the donation process as we are.” A TTCU checking account with a School Pride Visa Check Card can be opened online or at any branch.

Flexible robotic surgery opens new paths in cancer treatment Dr. Brad Mons Head and Neck Surgeon at Cancer Treatment Centers of America® 5 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

If you haven’t heard of the Flex® Robotic System, you’re probably not alone. It’s a cutting-edge, highly advanced surgical system that’s currently available at a limited number of hospitals in the United States, including Cancer Treatment Centers of America® (CTCA) in Tulsa. This minimally invasive technology is making a major impact by helping surgeons access an area of the body that was previously difficult or impossible to reach.

endoscope to give surgeons the ability to navigate a path through challenging areas. The system offers a number of benefits to specialists like Dr. Mons, and most importantly, to his patients.

CTCA® is the first and only hospital in Oklahoma to offer Flex ® Robotic System technology.

According to Dr. Brad Mons, Head and Neck Surgeon at CTCA®, the Flex Robotic System is an especially significant breakthrough for people diagnosed with head and neck cancer. “With this system, the surgeon can get to the small areas of the mouth and pharynx more easily in order to remove tumors in the region,” said Dr. Mons. “This affords us the ability to be much less invasive in head and neck cancer surgeries.” Designed to overcome line-of-sight limitations, Flex Robotic utilizes a uniquely flexible robotic

about head & neck cancers 49,000+ new cases will be diagnosed this year (most of them in men)

Because Flex Robotic operates through natural openings rather than requiring large incisions in the neck, potential benefits include:

More common in people over the age of 50

• Shorter hospital stays • Reduced post-surgical pain • Less scarring

Account for 3% of all cancers in the U.S.

• Lower risk of infection and complications • Faster return to normal activities “We’ve always been committed to bringing innovative technology to our center,” added Dr. Mons. “With tools like the Flex Robotic System, Cancer Treatment Centers of America has yet another way to help improve the lives of our patients—and that’s really what it’s all about.”

85% of cases are linked to tobacco use

Prolonged sun exposure may increase risk of lip & oral cancer

THE DOCTOR WILL ‘SEE’ YOU NOW

Technology is transforming how patients receive care. BY ANNA HOLTON-DEAN

hey can sneak up on the best of us: sniffles, flu-like symptoms, minor rashes, UTIs and more. Minor illnesses and injuries are unavoidable no matter how vigilantly we take our vitamins, exercise, wash our hands and use caution in our daily lives. When sickness strikes, the quest for wellness begins, whether it’s a drive to urgent care or a call to your primary care physician’s office to schedule an appointment. The effort always involves time, energy and patience. But thanks to technology, a new path to medical care is almost instantaneous, only limited by how quickly you can access a keyboard, tablet or phone with a Wi-Fi connection. With no drive through traffic or sitting

in a waiting room, it’s truly medical care at your fingertips. Welcome to virtual doctor visits. St. John Clinic OnDemand is one such system offering medical care 24 hours a day, 365 days a year through a mobile internet platform. Patients consult with a doctor or nurse practitioner via audio-video connection. Dr. Jason Lepak, physician lead for virtual care in the St. John Health System, says the service allows St. John to increase access to care in multiple ways. “Minor illness and urgent care (providers) have limited hours and are traditionally closed late in the evening or into the night,” Lepak says. “Ours is a 24/7 service, removing geographic barriers through the use of

technology. We come to the patient in their time of need at their location through any mobile device: phone, computer or tablet. Also, it increases access because you don’t have to be an established patient prior to using the OnDemand service.” Making it even more accessible, OnDemand does not require insurance. Patients simply pay a flat $49 fee. If they like, they can be set up with a primary care physician in the follow-up stage to arrange for continuity of care or recurrent visits, Lepak says. He adds they’ve had a lot of patients use this service with satisfactory results. Started in August 2016, OnDemand is consistently used by a wide spectrum of ages, including those who live in rural and urban TULSAPEOPLE MEDICAL AND DENTAL GUIDE 2018 3

PERSONALIZED CARE

areas, but Lepak says the heaviest use has come from those in their 30s, predominantly females. Utica Park Clinic is another local provider to recently institute telehealth services for patients who have visited one of its providers in the past three years. Dr. Scott J. Fowler, medical director of Utica Park Clinic Urgent Care, says they, too, see patients of all ages accessing the service for ease of use and accessibility. “Convenience is the No. 1 benefit due to time saved and, in some cases, money saved,” Fowler says. “There is also the added safety of not being exposed to other patients in the clinic who may be ill.” Avoiding exposure to more illness — along with the time and inconvenience of traveling to a medical facility — is a welcome feature for weary parents with sick children. One local pediatrician, Dr. J. Aaron Henley of Milestones Pediatric Care, offers his patients almost immediate consultations through the Spruce smartphone app for $15 per session. Whether it’s a concerning bump or bruise, rash, cold or sore throat, Henley can look at a photo, gather information and determine his diagnosis, giving signs to watch for, prescriptions if needed, and peace of mind to worried parents. With the touch of a button, he can

turn the text visit into a video consultation if needed. “Occasionally, I’ll recommend a face-to-face visit after collecting some information, but most parents are pretty good about knowing when it is appropriate to utilize the app,” Henley says. He also uses the app to do follow-ups on treatment or medicine checks.

APPROPRIATE USAGE

Lepak says virtual visits are ideal for minor illnesses and injuries. “Fever, cough, sore throat, flu-like illnesses, minor rashes, insect bites and UTIs are some of the most common,” he says. Virtual or video visits are not intended for emergency or life-threatening conditions, such as a heart attack, a stroke or other major traumas or injuries. St. John OnDemand has instituted an evidence-based, clinical-decision process to determine whether a patient needs to seek face-to-face medical care. “The vast majority of items we can figure out through a good history and communication,” Lepak says. “We may identify a patient may have a more serious condition through these clinical decision pathways. If there are red-flag items, we then direct them to in-person, face-to-face care. We

n addition to virtual visits, concierge medical services, such as MDVIP, have arrived in Tulsa. Dr. Michael Hubner, an MDVIP-affiliated internist, says MDVIP physicians have significantly smaller practices, allowing them to spend more time with each patient and provide highly individualized care. For an annual membership fee of $1,650, patients receive a tailored wellness program and a comprehensive yearly health assessment, including advanced screenings and diagnostic tests to give a clearer view of overall health. With the results, physicians provide one-on-one coaching and tools to help the patient make healthier lifestyle choices, prevent disease, better manage chronic conditions and achieve their personal wellness goals. Patients of any health level are welcome to join MDVIP’s program, whether they are healthy and seeking to prevent disease or already managing chronic issues. Founded in 2000, Hubner says MDVIP is growing across the country as people are looking for better alternatives to long waits, hurried visits and impersonalized care often seen in traditional practices. Additionally, the increasing costs of health care make it advantageous to stay as healthy as possible and save on outof-pocket health care costs. “Patients with very busy lives enjoy the convenience of a practice like mine because I’m available to them when they need me, which means even after office hours,” Hubner says. “I do not offer telemedicine services at this time, but I regularly communicate with my patients via phone, text and secure email.” Patients seeing specialists can continue that care using their existing health insurance coverage. “Joining MDVIP allows me to practice medicine the way I envisioned,” Hubner says. “It enables me to provide more personalized care for my patients with a greater focus on total wellness and prevention.”

do a have very rapid screening process to see if they would be more appropriately seen in in-person care. We are working to eliminate those issues by having a robust, strong network of in-person providers.” Lepak says the biggest limitation or drawback is the patient’s internet connection strength, but that “has not been a massive barrier.” OnDemand has increased access to care for those in rural communities he says, eliminating the expense of time and money spent driving into town. Fowler adds that sometimes providers might need laboratory exams or X-rays to confirm their diagnosis, which can only be obtained in person, but “many times, appropriate precautions can be taken until those exams can be obtained at a more convenient time for the patient, if needed.” Technology also is speeding up face-toface in-person visits. At St. John’s urgent care clinics, patients can access a self-registration portal online to reserve their spot and see in real-time when a visit is available, versus sitting in a waiting room. “That’s a great benefit and very well received,” Lepak says. “Through a secure

platform, patients can also access some of their own labs and radiology studies, as well as clinic and visit notes — ever-increasing the access patients have to their own medical info.”

TECHNOLOGY AND MEDICAL RECORDS

Although patients might be concerned about privacy and online security breaches, electronic health records have given providers the ability to store records in a clean and safe manner, Fowler says. In addition to the obvious benefit of no longer deciphering handwritten notes, electronic medical records are encrypted at similar standards to those of the banking industry, providing peace of mind that information remains private. “With the implementation of the Epic electronic health record across Hillcrest HealthCare System in 2018, records will be linked together even more cohesively,” Fowler adds. Like Hillcrest/Utica Park, St. John also is committed to safety and privacy. “We have taken every precaution to keep patient

information private and use a secure exchange platform,” Lepak says. Electronic records also allow for specialists or other providers within the same health system to access records quickly and efficiently. “We have multiple modalities for secure information exchange, to get visit records and patient info to those affiliated networks (so that we can) communicate medical care and (the) needs of what is transpiring with the patient,” Lepak says.

MORE TO COME

Lepak says today’s emerging technology is “just the tip of the iceberg” when it comes to increasing access to medical care, and the future holds many more exciting advancements. “We see access to medical care as one of the absolute pivotal points in the crossroads of taking care of communities and patients, and I am overjoyed to be a part of that strategy to help increase the access to care and health of our Oklahoma community,” he says.

Getting a good night’s rest is what everyone is after when they curl into bed each evening. Below are five tips for beating insomnia from Melissa Leedy of Legacy Counseling Service.

HAVE A CONSISTENT SLEEP AND WAKE TIME SEVEN DAYS A WEEK.

“This is really important for setting your circadian rhythms and training the body to know where it’s at in terms of the 24-hour clock and to have some predictability for the body,” Leedy says.

2. MINUTES.

GET OUT OF BED IF YOU DON’T FALL ASLEEP WITHIN 10 TO 15

Do something that is not very stimulating — perhaps even something you think is kind of boring. For example, you might watch a TV show you’re not really into or sort junk mail or magazines.

3. P.M. AND ONLY ALLOW YOURSELF TO NAP FOR 30 MINUTES.

IF YOU NEED TO TAKE A NAP DURING THE DAY, DO IT BEFORE 2

“That’s because you need to have enough time during the day ... to use up that extra energy that you’re giving your body through a nap,” Leedy says. “So if you think of your body and sleep as a gas tank, you only have so much gas your body can use. If you wake up with a full tank of gas and then take a one- to two-hour nap at 3 or 4 p.m., you just put $5 worth of gas in your gas tank but you don’t have enough time to use up that gas.”

USE THE BED FOR SLEEP AND SEX ONLY.

“We want to train the body that, when you’re in bed, this is automatically a place for rest,” she says. “Even though sex is a stimulating activity, obviously, after sex it’s a restful time for the body.”

5. DOWN WORRIES.

IF YOU WORRY, SET ASIDE TIME EARLIER IN THE DAY TO WRITE

Schedule that writing time two to three hours before bedtime, so when you’re ready to go to bed your mind is worry-free, Leedy says. TP

LAST YEAR’S FLU SEASON 22 flu-associated deaths in Tulsa County 110 flu-associated deaths in Oklahoma Source: Oklahoma State Department of Health

COLD AND FLU FURY What do the symptoms mean? BY ANNE BROCKMAN

he sniffles, runny nose and sore throat are here again. But does that mean you have a cold or the flu? Dr. Emily Grewe-Nelson, a family medicine physician with Utica Park Clinic, shares some insight as Tulsa enters peak cold and flu season, which is typically December through March.

What are the symptoms?

“Many symptoms can be associated with a cold, including nasal congestion and drainage, mild sore throat, cough, fever, chills and headaches,” Grewe-Nelson says. “Flu symptoms are more severe than common cold symptoms and include high fevers, nausea and vomiting, muscle aches, sore throat and headaches.” Allergy symptoms can be similar to ones with a cold, but generally exist without a fever.

What treatments exist?

The common cold and flu are both viral infections, which means antibiotics won’t help and can give unwanted side effects, such as diarrhea. “Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections such as pneumonia and are not an effective treatment against viral infections,” Grewe-Nelson says. “In fact, they can often lead to side effects and resistance if used to treat a virus, such as a cold.” According to Grewe-Nelson, the flu can be treated with antiviral medications such as TamiFlu or Relenza, but these can be pricey. Some over-the-counter medications can provide symptom relief. Despite what some say, there is no cure for the common cold. “But there are some medications, including over-the-counter cold

medications, that may relieve the symptoms,” Grewe-Nelson says. However, she cautions: “If you have a medical condition such as high blood pressure or if you are pregnant, talk to your doctor before using over-the-counter cold medications.”

How long does it last?

“Colds typically last five to seven days; however, some people may develop what’s called a post-viral cough,” Grewe-Nelson says. “This is a cough that lasts after you are infected with a virus and can last up to six weeks.” The flu can last five to 10 days. If someone does not feel better after 10 days, or if symptoms get worse, she suggests seeing your doctor.

How do I not get sick?

While no one is immune from colds or the flu, Grewe-Nelson suggests practicing good hand hygiene, especially during the peak months. She suggests washing hands often and washing hands well, for 20 seconds, with soap and running water. And, get vaccinated for the flu, which can help prevent the virus or, at least, lessen its severity. More information about the flu vaccine can be found at cdc.gov/flu. The Centers for Disease Control report that inﬂuenza has resulted in 9.2 million to 35.6 million illnesses, between 140,000 and 710,000 hospitalizations and between 12,000 and 56,000 deaths annually since 2010.

Straightening up Orthodontics provide pleasing smiles and overall health benefits. BY KRISTI EATON

ne of the primary reasons people seek orthodontic treatment is to improve their smile. But besides giving their owner selfconfidence, straight teeth also have health benefits, explains orthodontist Blake Henry. For example, increased tooth wear from crooked teeth interferes with proper chewing, makes cleaning difficult and increases risk of tooth decay, cavities and gingivitis, along with straining the teeth, jaws and muscles. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children see an orthodontist by age 7. “Most of the time at that age we don’t have to do any intervention or any extensive treatment or anything,” Henry says, “but it’s a good time to see 20 TULSAPEOPLE MEDICAL AND DENTAL GUIDE 2018

someone in terms of growth and development, and getting a baseline to make sure everything is in the right place, and coming out and in at the right time.” However, it’s never too late to fix misaligned teeth. Henry says he is seeing more and more adults seeking treatment for crowded teeth. “They’re not only seeing the psychological implications of not having the perfect smile, but they are seeing the benefits of having straight teeth,” he says. When it comes to perfecting smiles, there are many more options available today than even 10 to 15 years ago, Henry says. “Traditional braces are still the route that is oftentimes the most efficient and the best way to get teeth straight,” he says. Generally, braces

are more effective for complex issues; there is no temptation to take them out, which makes the process longer; and there are no extra cleaning steps besides brushing and flossing. Clear braces — traditional braces with clear brackets — also are an option now. These are sometimes more attractive to adult patients who don’t want to go the traditional braces route. However, Henry says the benefits of braces far outweigh their temporary inconvenience. “We see everyone from school-age children to adults, and their relationships improve after orthodontic treatment,” Henry says. “Long term, overall, there are huge psychological benefits to having a good smile — a smile you can be proud of.” TP

RENU YOUR

BRAIN,

Neurofeedback Brain Fitness Center

There are many reasons why RenuYou Neurofeedback Brain Fitness Center is considered one of the top clinics in the world for neurofeedback (NFB). For the past decade, the practice has been a pioneer of neurofeedback in Oklahoma, and continues to be passionate about research and development. Founded by Dr. Barry and Cyndie Gardner, RenuYou is the only board-certified neurofeedback clinic in Oklahoma that has licensed professional therapists and counselors, NFB practitioners and on-staff physicians, including one of the only triplecertified psychiatrists in the state. RenuYou also goes the extra mile in helping patients achieve optimal brain performance by recognizing and treating the metabolic issues that can contribute to brain dysfunction. Doctors from all over the country — from as far away as California — refer their patients to RenuYou.

HOW DOES IT WORK? Neurofeedback treatment begins with a qEEG that measures the electrical activity of the brain. Why? Because everything in the brain is electrical — thoughts, emotions or sensations are all due to the electrical firing of neurons. “We measure that activity to see where a person is producing too much, as in the case of anxiety, where they’re not producing enough, as in ADHD, or where the roads just don’t seem to be connected,” says clinical director Marie McCabe, LMFT, BCN. “We then develop a treatment plan, based on that analysis.”

RENU YOUR

LIFE

When treatment begins, RenuYou uses “reward” brainwave biofeedback based on self-operant conditioning that involves retraining the brain through the most relaxing therapy imaginable — watching movies or listening to music. If desirable brainwave patterns emerge, these patterns are reinforced by the reward of the continuing playing of the movie or music. If not, the reward is taken away. Because the brain is a learning machine, it naturally goes after the reward and forges a new, healthier neuropathway that becomes a permanent part of the brain’s productivity. The goal is to improve the brain’s ability to self-regulate and smoothly shift between states of relaxation and arousal. Since the brain controls attention and emotion, this ultimately encourages the brain to change thinking and behavior patterns to achieve peak performance. The American Academy of Pediatrics calls neurofeedback a level 1 “best support” intervention for ADHD. Top athletes — such as Dallas Mavericks center Chris Kaman — use NFB to enhance sports performance. NASA uses the therapy to train astronauts. The U.S. Military uses NFB to train Special Forces, and has adopted it as an intervention for post-traumatic stress disorder. “We treat 70 different protocols, ranging from anxiety and depression to chronic pain and insomnia,” says McCabe. “We treat as many adults as we do children. Our patients range in age from age 5 to age 89. We are passionate about what we do — helping our patients be the best that they can be.” Safe and non-invasive, NFB is considered one of the most advanced drug-free therapies of its technological generation.

ANNOUNCING DR. ANTON SURJA! Dr. Anton A Surja is one of only a handful of triple-board-certified psychiatrists in the entire state of Oklahoma. His certifications include general psychiatry, child and adolescent psychiatry and addiction/substance abuse psychiatry. He completed his residency at the University of Louisville in Louisville, Kentucky. Surja has more than 18 years of diverse experience, and has a heart for children as well as adults in helping patients achieve peak performance. He also specializes in medication management. While recognizing the need for medications, he likes to help patients reduce or better manage their medication when possible — and believes neurofeedback is the perfect adjunct for doing so. “I am honored to be working with the dedicated staff at RenuYou Neurofeedback Brain Fitness Center,” says Surja. “I am looking forward to helping our patients be the best that they can be!”

Are you struggling? WITH ADHD, ADDICTIONS, AUTISM, ANXIETY, CHRONIC FATIGUE, DEPRESSION, INSOMNIA, PTSD, MIGRAINES, OCD OR SLEEP DISORDERS?

Safe and non-invasie, brain wave biofeedback is considered to be one of the most advanced, drugfree therapies of this technological generation and performs what most of us are conditioned to think of as miraculous.

Bob Bogle, center, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease a year ago. He joined the Engine Room Wellness Center and began boxing therapy, which has provided a way of coping with the physical symptoms of the disease.

Rolling with the punches Boxing program helps those with Parkinson’s disease. BY JULIE WENGER WATSON

oxing class is in full swing at the Engine Room Wellness Center, an off-shoot of the Engine Room at 4647 S. Peoria Ave. Music blares from the stereo as a dozen fighters pound the heavy bags. Head coach Aaron Sloan crosses the room, correcting one boxer’s stance here, another’s jab there. While there’s plenty of good-natured joking among the participants, it’s clear they take their training seriously, and with good cause. They’re fighting to preserve their quality of life: slipping, punching and feinting to stave off the progression of Parkinson’s disease. A movement disorder resulting from the loss of dopamine-producing brain cells, Parkinson’s is marked by tremors, stiffness in the limbs and trunk, slow movement, and impaired balance and coordination. Close to a million Americans live with the disease; thousands of those are Oklahomans. Although there’s no known cure, medications and a specialized 30 TULSAPEOPLE MEDICAL AND DENTAL GUIDE 2018

surgical procedure can improve symptoms. So can exercise. “If Parkinson’s patients are exercising consistently with a regimen that is complex and intense, which boxing fits, they’re most likely going to have a very good chance of doing better for longer than a patient who doesn’t exercise at all,” says Bruce McIntyre, executive director of the Parkinson Foundation of Oklahoma. The organization regularly refers patients to Sloan’s “Ready to Fight” program: Parkinson’s-specific, boxing-based exercise classes. Sloan, a registered cardiac nurse and certified coach, developed the program several years ago after noticing improvements in the symptoms of a personal training client who was dealing with the disease. “We enjoy a really good mutual partnership with Aaron (Sloan) and the Engine Room Wellness Center,” McIntyre explains. “What they do embodies the best of Parkinson’s-effective exercise. It’s intense and complex. If someone does that kind of

exercise consistently, it can be very beneficial for living with Parkinson’s in terms of helping calm their symptoms.” Sloan believes his medical background and years of experience both as a fighter and a trainer make his program different than other local Parkinson’s boxing programs. “We take more of a health care approach,” Sloan explains. “We’re a nursedeveloped, doctor-endorsed program that’s more than just an exercise class. It’s a middle ground between a fitness class and something like physical therapy.” There are studies that show a link between general exercise programs and improvement of or delay in Parkinson’s symptoms, but few have specifically looked at boxing. Sloan thinks traditional boxing drills are well-suited to Parkinson’s symptoms. While he has plenty of anecdotal evidence from his clients, he’s hoping to put the science behind it very soon by working with a local neurosurgeon and professor of psychology.

Aaron Sloan, a registered cardiac nurse and certified coach, developed the “Ready to Fight” program, which offers Parkinson’s-specific, boxing-based exercise classes.

“We have speed bags and double-end bags that not only help with reaction, rhythm and hand-eye coordination, but they also become a natural cueing system for a Parkinson’s patient who may have a tendency to freeze,” he explains. “The natural movement of the bag prompts them to punch.” When developing the stand-alone Wellness Center, Sloan wanted the feel of a “real” boxing gym for his clients. He has made a few modifications to accommodate some of the physical challenges they face. He built a custom, floor-level ring with an opening to allow for easier access. He also added a clamp to the speed bags, limiting their range of motion. “I wanted them to be able to start off quickly on the bags without getting discouraged,” he says. “I wanted my clients with a walker or wheelchair to have that experience of getting in the ring, that experience of training like a real fighter.” Bob Bogle, a 69-year-old former high school teacher and basketball coach, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease a year ago. He joined Sloan’s classes shortly after his daughter found out about the therapy through online research. The program has provided a way of coping with the physical symptoms of the disease. “The diagnosis caught us off guard,” says Jan, Bob’s wife. “We’ve always been in good health. It knocks the wind out of your sails.” Bob’s symptoms have not worsened since starting the program, which is significant because Parkinson’s is a progressive disease. He has noticed that the boxing slows his tremors, and his stamina and balance have improved. The community they found at the gym has been just as important. “The camaraderie between the clients down there — we all go through the same thing,” Bob says. “The minute I went in there, they were really helpful, courteous and receptive. We joke around; we play the oldies but goodies on the radio.” Jan agrees. “We walked in there, and we were immediately embraced and given hope,” she says. “Before, we wondered how we were going to get through this. We thought our whole lives were going to stop or change. Once we walked in, it was like, you’re going to have to adjust, but there is a light. It’s not a death sentence.” TP For more information on Parkinson’s, visit parkinsonoklahoma.com. For more information on Ready to Fight, go to readytofightboxing.com.
