A Little Patch
OF HEAVEN
BY ERICA LUDWIG
o you dream of making your own strawberry jam with berries you picked yourself? This April, pack up the family and head to Huldy’s Farm, a family owned and operated berry farm in Inola, about 30 minutes east of Tulsa. “We are on a peaceful patch of land easily accessible from Highway 412,” said Owner Gwen Gay. “If the Good Lord permits, strawberries may be ready mid April with the warmer weather we’ve been having. We’re scheduled to be at the Tulsa Farmers Market April 8 and open for the season on April 10.” This year, Gwen says the farm has 22,000 Strawberry plants, which equals out to about an acre and a half of plants. Each strawberry plant produces about a pound of berries. The farm is prepared to accommodate visitors, with
D
tables and chairs located near the picking area, folding seats available for a $1 rental fee to use while picking, free bottled water, and portable toilets. Huldy’s welcomes birthday parties and family reunions, and customers are always welcome to bring their own picnic lunches and snacks. After picking, strawberries and blackberries are gently transferred from the picking buckets to cardboard flats, so patrons arrive home with berries intact. Blueberries are sturdier, so they are packaged in food-safe plastic bags when picked by customers and packaged into plastic pint containers when the staff picks them. Gwen’s daughter, Erin, named the farm. Her grandparents had owned a 1955 Chevy Truck named Huldy – a nickname for a woman prophetess briefly mentioned in the Bible named Huldah who was strong in her faith in God. In March 2010, with the help of Erin,
The farmers at Huldy’s take extreme care in their planting process.

friends, neighbors, and Gwen’s Sunday School Class, the first patch of blueberries were planted. In the following years, Gwen and her husband Gerald added strawberries and blackberries to the farm. During strawberry season, the farm will usually be open Monday through Saturday, from 8 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. Please note that hours can change due to inclement weather and availability of ripe berries, so please call to confirm hours for the day you plan to pick. Blueberries should be ready for picking by mid May, and the blackberries should be ready by early June. By mid-June, the gate will usually close by 1:00 p.m. However, if you want to make an after-hours appointment, Monday through Saturday, please call Gwen to schedule an appointment.

NO MORE DANGEROUS & DIRTY GUTTER CLEANING BY ERICA LUDWIG
he seasons have changed and brought back that strong Oklahoma wind, blowing more miscellaneous items into your gutters. Cleaning the gutters can be a strenuous task, especially with the weather being so flippant this time of year. With April showers approaching, consider taking extra measures to protect your home from the outside in. RainFlow Seamless Guttering provides the technology and services for even the
T
most specific guttering needs. Rain-Flow’s services include seamless guttering, gutter screens, commercial guttering, water drainage and wood repair. Owner Chris Mussman says most of their projects involve installing Leaf Shield Gutter Protection, a product they have been installing since 1997. Made of heavy gauge solid aluminum, Leaf Shield protects guttering from leaves, pine needles, oak tassels, twigs, acorns,
buds, birds, squirrels and snow. As water flows over the Leaf Shield, the molecular attraction between the metal and water causes the water to cling to the surface and follow the bends around the nose of the product, allowing it to drain into the gutters. At the same time leaves, pine needles, and other debris fall to the ground. Its low profile design is tested to handle up to 11 inches of rainfall per hour. With a written lifetime warranty and ability to install on existing guttering, Leaf Shield makes gutter cleaning a thing of the past. The family owned and operated company has been in business for over 45 years, making them one of the oldest guttering companies in Oklahoma. As owner, Chris’ mission is to provide the highest quality gutter service to Oklahomans. Rain-Flow prides
themselves on a lifetime warranty on their products. The company aims to be the best at what they do and serve their customers well. “We want to make our gutters more secure for the future,” said Chris. “We are always looking for ways to evolve as a company, being adaptable and serving our clients as best we can.” Rain-Flow’s personalized approach and thorough process have earned them an A+ rating from Better Business Bureau. Chris and his team strive to not only give homeowners more options when working on a project, but to take pride in the choices they’ve made. Call Rain-Flow and eliminate dangerous, dirty gutter cleaning today. RAIN-FLOW SEAMLESS GUTTERING 7709 E 42ND PL, SUITE 140 | TULSA, OK (918) 232-3232 WWW.RAINFLOWSYSTEMS.COM

LIVING EXPO BY FRANK W SAWYER
T
ulsa’s newest home and garden show is coming back for another year. The Spring Home & Outdoor Living Expo is set for a three-day weekend opening at noon on Friday, April 21, 2017 in the River Spirit Expo at Expo Square. The show falls on Earth Day weekend. Many of the exhibitors will be drawing special attention to how their business uses recycled materials in their products and how easy those products are to recycle. Other exhibitors will be showcasing ways to save energy and conserve resources around the house. The biggest news concerning this year’s expo is that attendance is now free. As you enter, you can also register for the daily $500 cash drawing and for the grand prize of a $1,000 home improvement from USA Home Solutions. Register early on Friday and have four chances to have your name drawn. The first 1,000 families to enter the drawing will be given a free gift valued up to $9. Each adult entering the show will also be given a voucher, valued at $15, for free document shredding 18 || 18
provided by Green Country Shredding and Recycling in Broken Arrow. Shred that oldest year of tax records and other “spring cleaning” discards. This year’s expo will feature a wide variety of building components, remodeling materials and service providers for your home. Some of these will be seen for the very first time in Tulsa. The show is the perfect size to be easily walked in a two-hour period while allowing in-depth exploration of your favorite exhibits.

ROCK YOUR PRAYER BY SEANA WARREN
embers of The Rock Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma are taking prayer to another level. This specialized prayer group meets every Thursday evening for a few hours to learn, practice and join together in prayer. The goal of the group is three fold. The first step is to learn how to pray outside of church and guided prayer. “Prayer should be a part of our everyday life,” said Pastor Theresa Watts. “But, some people don’t know how to pray, or when to pray. Others may feel uncomfortable praying at a regular church service. Our special prayer group can help anyone get more comfortable with their daily walk with God.” The second goal is to learn from one another. The group is open to anyone wanting to attend and is mixed in level of knowledge. Beginner, intermediate and high level of church-members attend together to grow and teach. “It is our belief that the newcomers to the group will one day be our best

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT BY SEANA WARREN
n 2012, Tony and Emmy Award-winning actress Kristin Chenoweth came home to Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. While she was driving around with friends, she asked if they could drive by the home where she grew up. The new owner was in the front yard and welcomed them into his home, but there was a problem. His daughter, a huge fan of Kristin, wasn’t home to meet her. He led a tour around the house and Kristin made a special stop in her childhood bedroom to take a peek; but, she couldn’t leave without writing a special note for the little girl with whom she now shares a little bit of her childhood. During that same trip, Kristin was home to perform a benefit concert for the Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center. The theater was named after her at that concert. She was so moved, she sat down to talk about what she could give back to her home town. “It all started at a kitchen table following the concert,” said Mark Frie, Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center executive director. “We talked with Kristin about what her legacy would be. She wanted to impact the next generation of artists in Oklahoma.” Four friends joined together to create The Kristin Chenoweth Fund. The group is made up of Kristin, Mark Frie, and John Sawyer and Jack Wallace, partners and realtors at Chinowth & Cohen.

“No matter if they decide to grow up to be an actor, a banker or a lawyer, theater can help every one be better communicators and better speakers. I know theater has helped me in every aspect of my life,” said Jack Wallace. The Kristin Chenoweth Fund will exclusively run this year’s Broadway Boot Camp June 12-16. Guest stars leading the camp with Kristin are Richard Jay Alexander, Broadway Director and Producer for Kristin; Mary Mitchell Campbell Drama Desk Award-winner for Orchestration; Faith Prince, Tony Award-winning Best Actress and film and television star; Joel Ferrel, Dallas Theatre Center Director; and Lara Teeter, Tony-nominated Broadway actor. “This is making a tremendous
impact on area youth. It’s helping shape their lives. I’m honored to be involved,” said Frie. The tuition for the program is $200 per student, but if a student cannot pay for any reason, they are never turned away. Funds are raised from the master class performance and at many of Kristin’s national performances. Kristin will be in town on May 6th performing her Broadway show, “My Love Letter to Broadway”, at 7:30 p.m. at the Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center. The newly selected Broadway Boot Camp students will be introduced during the performance. For tickets to the performances, more information or to donate to the Kristin Chenoweth Fund, please contact the Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center.

T
he thought of even one little boy or girl in Tulsa being traumatized by a horrific act of child abuse is painful enough. But the fact that the numbers are rapidly increasing each year – 2500 children in our community this past year alone – is absolutely heart breaking. Statistics show that one in 15 children is involved in a child abuse investigation in Tulsa County each year. That equals to about two children per averagesized Tulsa classroom. But Tulsans “CAN” fight back. Since 1988, a growing number of volunteers and significant community partners have joined forces through the 501c3 non-profit Child Abuse Network (CAN) that teams the Tulsa Police Department, the Department of Human Services, Oklahoma University Medical Services, the District Attorney’s Office and the intervention services of the network itself to reduce the trauma children face during a child abuse investigation. Board member Ashley Hudgeons, who is also a vice president at Hillcrest, said, “Without CAN, a child would have to be driven to each of the agencies individually and retell his or her experience at each place for each forensic interview. The Child Abuse 34 |

Network’s collaborative solution allows children to come to one location and testify once to diminish the trauma.” Hudgeons, now in her fifth year on the board, has stepped up to cochair CAN’s 6th Annual CANdlelight Ball hosted at the historic Mayo Hotel Friday, April 21, with a cocktail reception at 6:30 p.m. with dinner at 7:30, followed by a night of dancing. Along with co-chair Cari Marshall and honorary chairs Max and Marian Vowel, Hudgeons invites everyone to the black tie ball to celebrate the hard work of those who provide the intervention services and reflect on this community health crisis of child abuse. The event also serves as a fundraiser to help improve the network’s facility as it continues to grow. “When the Child Abuse Network facilities were built, the need back
in 1992 was to serve 40 children a month” Hudgeons says. “Now, we serve more than 50 children a week from every zip code, income level, race, ethnicity and every part of Tulsa. The average child is 8 years old. CAN needs as much awareness and community support as it can get.” The CANdlelight Ball is CAN’s primary fund-raiser. Tickets can be purchased for $500 by phone or email at events@ChildAbuseNetwork.org. Event sponsorships begin at $1000. This year’s “Star Light, Star Bright” theme focuses on the organization’s wish for a brighter future for each child they see. Contribute to a child’s future and reserve your spot for the CANdlelight Ball. CHILD ABUSE NETWORK 2829 SOUTH SHERIDAN | TULSA, OK (918) 624-0217 | CHILDABUSENETWORK.ORG
