A Little Whimsy, A Little History National Competition

Brings Boatloads of Fun

Catoosa’s The StoreHouse Front offers goods and classes of all varieties. By Lorrie Ward

Heather Lyons, store hostess, beside an already wonderfully outfitted booth at StoreHouse Front.

No one can deny that in the last decade, Catoosa, Oklahoma has transformed from a sleepy little town to a bustling, small city. With the addition of the Hard Rock Casino and other major businesses, Catoosa attracts visitors from all over the country. The town’s placement at the intersections of I-44, Highway 412, and Historic Route 66 make Catoosa the perfect place to sell original, locally crafted gifts, unique clothing items, and nostalgic antiques—and you can find all those type items at The StoreHouse Front. Located on Catoosa’s historic Cherokee Street, The StoreHouse Front offers a place for vendors to display their wares to both locals and those passing through. The StoreHouse Front hosts booths for an eclectic selection of items. In one nook, you may find new Melissa and Doug toys, in another, new and unique boutique style clothing and in yet, another, scented candles and lotions. Locally handcrafted pieces—crochet, jewelry, woven baskets, clothing, household items, quilts—are scattered here and there throughout the store. Several large sections of the store are devoted to

NBRA Route 66 Showdown Nationals to be held in Claremore August 13-14 By Lorrie Ward In many parts of the country, the mention of Oklahoma brings to mind wide open prairies with wildflowers and hot winds, not rivers and lakes where pleasant summer days can be spent swimming, fishing and boating. Oklahoma boasts more shoreline than the Gulf and Atlantic coasts combined with over 200 lakes. Northeastern Oklahoma, also known as green country, is home to many of these lakes, with one of the most clear and scenic nestled right in the middle— Claremore Lake. It was suggested that the National Boat Racing Association championships be held in Claremore since the Oklahoma Boat Racing Association was founded in 1953, and they were, for the next 25 years. But although the OBRA continued racing, the annual NBRA championship changed locations over the next few decades. Then last year, Leonard Miller, current president of OBRA, approached Visit Claremore Director Tanya Andrews,

Claremore’s City Manager and Claremore’s Park and Recreation Director with the idea of Claremore Lake once again hosting this event. Tanya and Allison Delk, Visit Claremore’s Special Events Manager, embarked on a road trip to Centralia, Illinois to check out last year’s race. “As we watched the event, we felt this would be a perfect fit for Claremore,” says Tanya. “Our lake and its park is so beautiful and so well maintained that the event organizers and participants would love it!” Tanya and others involved with the planning and organization feel the layout of Claremore Lake works well with the type of boats raced in this event. Hydroplane boats are long and narrow and therefore need a longer track rather than a wide one. The races are said to be exciting even for those new to these events, as the boats are quite fast. The NBRA Route 66 Showdown Nationals will be held at Claremore Lake on

ASK THE MONEY MAVEN STRAIGHT-FORWARD, NO-NONSENSE TALK ABOUT YOUR MONEY

A Borrower Is A Slave To The Lender BY MELANIE HASTYGRANT

at the office. Financial plans are personalized to each person we meet. Having a financial plan and sticking to that plan is extremely important. Budgets vary household to household, but every house should have one written down. Money can leave your bank account quick if you don’t check up on it!

“I am never going to get out of debt!” Maybe you have caught yourself saying this. Perhaps out of frustration or the realization that credit is an easy way to purchase whatever you want the second you want it. That sense of instant gratification the moment you swipe that credit card. When used correctly it is a valuable tool. Honestly, many folks across the world can't afford to purchase a house or car without borrowing money to pay it back in manageable increments over time.. So what’s all the fuss about? Borrowing money is relatively easy to accomplish. The commercials on TV, with celebrities talking about it, are so convincing! Surely you can pay the minimum monthly payment at the end of the month. You reckon? Debt has a way of snowballing into something much larger if not watched and monitored closely. As a result, the borrower becomes a slave to whom or whoever the lender might be. When your financial future is on the line, here are a few things to keep in mind:

FREE

• Separate items into needs vs. wants. Wants and needs are two completely different categories. At times it can be easy to confuse the two. The newest technological gadgets, the latest fashion trends, entertainment and having dinner out with friends frequently, are more indulgences than basic living expenses. I remember the saying from the movie Fight Club, “We buy things we don’t need, with money we don’t have, to impress people we don’t like.” Try to purchase when you are in the right frame of thinking; not running on emotion. Are the things you’re buying just things, or do you actually need them to prosper? • Make the most of what you have. No matter your salary it must be managed and planned for wisely. We do this every day

• Don’t let history repeat itself. We are all human and we all have blunders now and again. Don’t be afraid to admit your shortcomings. The best thing to do is learn from it. Maybe you didn’t anticipate something to cost as much as it did when you first set out. Whatever the reasoning may be, try not to be so hard on yourself. Refer back to your plan, make adjustments were you can, and keep moving forward. Don’t be a slave to the lender. For more information go to www.waterstonewealth.com or call 918-272-1120.

A Journey to Excellence Heritage Adventist School in Claremore looking to add programs and educational experiences for 2016-2017 school year.

By Erica Ludwig The Seventh-day Adventist educational system is the largest Protestant Christian School system in the world. Heritage Adventist School in Claremore is a part of that system, aiming to make its students feel safe and secure in a rural community. The Christ-centered curriculum imparts far more than academic knowledge. It fosters a balanced development of the whole person – spiritual, physical, intellectual, and social-emotional – a process that spans a lifetime. Working together, home, school and church cooperate to prepare learners to be good citizens in this world and for eternity. Heritage Adventist School is preparing to provide this balance, having this Christ-centered curriculum. “I want them to know that it’s okay to be spiritual and to be different and to stand out, to feel that and to show that,” said Cheri Robinson, school principal and educator. Cheri is a fourth generation Seventh-day Adventist and third generation teacher. Both of her parents were teachers

and her mother, Lou, was once principal of the school. Cheri feels privileged to get to be a part of the mission of Heritage Adventist School. The educator was reared in the Seventh-day Adventist school system. She plans to use her 26 years of experience in the Claremore public school system to help grow the school’s programs. “The music program is already established, but it’s in my plans to bring an art program, band program and Spanish to the school. I’m hoping to do that for next school year.” The school’s educational opportunities are also up for expansion. Cheri plans to utilize the resources in the community by bringing in writers, police officers and firefighters to teach on safety, especially during the month of October, when drug awareness week takes place. “We want the kids to be educated about drug safety and just safety in general like they do in the public schools,”she said. “We want them to have the same opportunities, whether that be seminars or special lectures, we

want the kids to have that.” Field trips to the Will Rogers Museum and Veterans Museum are all in the works for next school year. The education team also hopes to bring in veterans for special demonstrations of folding the flag and proper salutes. Ideally, the school would like to take part in this year’s Veterans Day Parade. “We’ve been around since 1979 and I would really like to see us grow to a 2-3 teacher school,” said the principal. Heritage Adventist School in Claremore offers a Christcentered curriculum to students in kindergarten through eighth grade. The mission of the Adventist curriculum is to enable learners to develop a life of faith and to use their knowledge, skills and understandings to serve God and humanity. The vision is for every learner to excel in faith, learning and service, blending biblical truth and academic achievement to honor God and bless others. The Adventist worldview accepts the Bible as the standard by which everything else is measured, and all lessons are

Cheri Robinson, principal and educator at Heritage Adventist School in Claremore. Christ-centered. Lessons are also project based, rather than strictly lectures and worksheets. The students enjoy gymnastics at Gymnastics City once a week, choir twice per week and regularly attend field trips. Past trips have included the Oklahoma Aquarium and the J.M. Davis Gun Museum. The Christian education offered at Heritage Adventist School is open to anyone who is interested. Call to find out about enrollment information

for the 2016-2017 school year. This school year will be a four-day week, Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

TThink You Can Outsmart a Scammer? Tips on avoiding internet spams and scams

By Kyle Head

There are 3.17 billion internet users worldwide. To put that into perspective, there are around 323 million people living in the United States, so if everyone in the U.S. used the internet that would be less than ten percent of internet users worldwide. The internet is a marvelous invention, useful for finding information quickly, connecting with friends and family, watching videos and so much more. But with the good comes the bad - phishers. Think you can outsmart a scammer? In 2014 the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center tallied nearly 270 thousand complaints, totaling more than $800 million in losses. To help protect yourself, you first need to understand what you are dealing with. So what exactly is phishing? Phishing is a social engineering technique by which an attacker imitates a credible source in an attempt to fool a victim into providing personal information or to perform an action, like clicking on a link.

“People tend to be too trusting regarding websites and providing their personal information online or in emails,” says Denise Meyer, AVP Fraud. Increase your personal safety with the following three-step checklist: 1. Going to websites Look for https:// or the lock symbol at the beginning of the web address. The “s” at the end of http means that the site has added security. A word of caution: Scammers can and do set up false sites with https://. 2. Entering information online. Before you provide any information online, practice due diligence on merchants to verify they are registered and legitimate companies. Google search companies and check with places such as the Better Business Bureau to research their registration details and service history. 3.Clicking email links. Before you click, hover over the link. Does the link match the company’s official site address? For example, when you hover over a link to RCB Bank’s website it should look like

https://rcbbank.com/. A scam link may look something like http:// www.RCBbbanks.com. Look carefully, while the link is very much like the real one, it’s a fake and may lead you to malware. “We see new scams or phishing attempts almost daily,” said Meyer. “You can never be too cautious on the internet.” One of the latest scams involves cyber criminals making it possible to attack your If you want to outsmart a scammer, stay alert and keep up to date on computer when you the latest attacks. open a malicious email from the EducationCenter expressed above are the personal preview pane into a second Secret Service, www. opinions of the author and window.

A Classical Instrument That Still Knows How to Rock The Midwest Harp Festival features four concerts open to the public in July.

By Deanna Rebro

Since Ancient Egypt, the harp has played a significant role in all genres of music including Celtic, Classical, Bluegrass, Country, Rock/Pop, Show Tunes, Vocals, Jazz and even Heavy Metal. The 2016 Midwest Harp Festival celebrates this versatile instrument and brings together 35 of the best performers in the region. The week-long festival, running July 17-23, features four public concerts. Lorelei Kaiser Barton, creator and director of the festival, has watched the event grow from several harpists playing in her home in 1998 to a highly respected and anticipated event that draws professionals, students and music lovers to the University of Tulsa Lorton Performing Arts Center. “The Harp Festival is true immersion into the spirit of the harp,” says Lorelei. Harpists ages nine and up at various skill levels will have the opportunity to participate in workshops, harp ensembles and competitions. Featured artists for this year’s festival are: Mary Bircher of the Omaha Symphony,

Faye Seeman, Professor of Music at Wheaton College and Northern Illinois University; Elizabeth Richter, Professor of Music at Ball State University; Linda Paul, local professional pop/jazz harpist and festival adjunct instructor, and the Felice Pomeranz Jazz Quartet. Ms. Pomeranz is Associate Professor of Harp at Berklee College of Music in Boston and a faculty member of The Boston Conservatory. For the first time within the solo competition, the festival will include the Salzedo Competition, sponsored by Suzann Davids. On Monday, July 18 at 7:30 p.m. in the Gussman Auditorium, the opening faculty concert will feature the festival’s harp faculty. There is no charge, but donations are appreciated. Tuesday, July 19 at 7:30 p.m. is the Solo Competition Winners Recital in the Meinig Recital Hall. The competition, held earlier in the day, is broken down by skill levels in five divisions. This is also open to the public. The Felice Pomeranz Jazz Quartet will perform on

Visual Storytelling with a Sense of Self(ie) Broken Arrow Photographer Jill Solomon to debut interactive exhibit in Broken Arrow August 2.

By Erica Ludwig Nothing is more difficult than trying to put your own spin on something that seems to have been done in just about every way imaginable. How do you capture an iconic monument, such as the Eiffel Tower, when its been done in what seems to be a million different ways and angles? You think outside the box, or rather, into it. Broken Arrow photographer Jill Solomon knows this first hand, and has the pictures to prove it. Jill Solomon will be showcasing “Le Touriste Narcissique” which translates to “The Narcissistic Traveler” beginning on August 2 at the gallery space in the Broken Arrow Historical Museum. The interactive exhibit is a showcase of the global phenomenon of the selfie from Jill’s most recent trip to Paris. “ I was thinking, ‘It’s the most photographed place in the world, there will be a lot of people, and a lot of people doing selfies’” she said. “So, I began to capture people taking selfies in front of the iconic places. I was amazed at how it crossed every culture, every religion, every ethnicity

and everybody has their own way of taking selfies. I was just mesmerized by it and wondered about these people.” Jill has just about seen it all since she first picked up a camera in 1997. She is known for her senior pictures, family portraits and work for artists such as Kristin Chenoweth. However, this exhibit has made Jill see her craft, what she calls visual storytelling, in a whole new way. “People will find themselves wanting to know who the people are in the photograph. It’s not making someone who they’re not, it’s capturing who they are, their essence. It’s not just about the posing; it’s catching them with a look. It’s catching them in their authentic state. “ The interactive display will open August 2 from 6-8 p.m. and is open to the public. The event will run for two weeks. Guests will go through the gallery as if visiting and touring Paris themselves. At each stop along the way from Notre Dame to the Eiffel Tower, they’ll be asked to do something. The objective is to record the experience as you go through the exhibit through various forms, including selfies.

As you explore selfies at iconic locations, patrons will also have the opportunity to purchase pictures on various mediums. “What I do is such a personal thing that I’m grateful for the person that is going to become authentic in front of my Broken Arrow Photographer Jill Solomon has been in the visual storytelling camera,” said Jill. “I realize that business since 1997.

Why I Just W

Follow Jesus

Learning more about Him to become more like Him.

By A Jesus Follower

Years ago while I was in the military, on one very dark night, I was driving a noisy Jeep on a runway with no person in sight in any direction. I heard a loud commanding voice say “STOP” and I immediately stopped the Jeep. As I was looking around wondering who said stop, a fast, tree top flying, spy plane that you could not hear before it was past you, landed where my Jeep would have been. That voice saved my life. Over 8 years later, God revealed that it was His voice that commanded me to stop and saved my life. God can reveal Himself to us. One of the reasons I follow Jesus is because Jesus also can “REVEAL”1 God to us. A few years later, I was taking a biblical Greek course at the university and the big test at the end of the year involved translating a passage from greek and describing the parts of speech of each word. The passage was to be from the

gospel of John or the epistles of John and I knew I did not know greek that well. I asked God in Jesus’ name for help. God led me to the exact five verses on the test out of a possible 1,010 verses. I knew I had heard God and heard Him correctly. A few months later when God told me to “JUST FOLLOW JESUS”, I knew again it was God. It has been a learning process over the subsequent years to just follow Jesus and I am still learning. In addition to being obedient to God, I follow Jesus because He tells the truth and is the truth and Jesus tells us the only way to God “IS THROUGH ME”2. Jesus tells us “IF YOU OBEY MY TEACHING AND KNOW THE TRUTH... THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE”3, which includes being set free from manmade religious teachings. I also follow Jesus because He said “I AM THE SON OF GOD”4 and that God told Jesus what “TO

“Some may want to know my name... but I am not important, Jesus is the one who is important.”

SAY”5. There are many other reasons why I just follow Jesus yet the main reason is I am being obedient to God, who also said about Jesus “THIS IS MY SON, WHOM I LOVE. LISTEN TO HIM”6. Some may want to know my name or where I go to church, etc but I am not important, Jesus is the one who is important and His words and actions. Be encouraged to follow Jesus, so you will be one of the “FEW”7 who will go on to eternal life when your body

Flying Into New Traditions with Hometown Heroes Fly-in Marks 81 Years Since Death of Will Rogers and Wiley Post.

By Pat Reeder It’s been 81 years since Will Rogers and Wiley Post died in an Alaska plane crash. News of the crash on Aug. 15, 1935 remains a historic tragedy felt worldwide, but no place more stunned than Oologah, the town where Will was born of and the home place where he lived as a boy. On Saturday, August 13, pilots will land on the 2,000-foot grass strip adjacent to the Will Rogers birthplace, honoring

the memory of Will and Wiley, his pilot friend and fellow Oklahoman. Last year, more than 30 years after the first Fly-In tribute at the ranch strip, records were set both in planes and people attending. “This year is another opportunity for the public to get a close-up look at airplanes and meet the pilots and honor the memory of two men, who were undeniably the world’s most avid aviation boosters of their time,” said Tad

Jones, Will Rogers Memorial Museums executive director. It is also a time for pilots to reflect on their own experiences and renew friendships with other pilots. Gates will open at 7 a.m. for ample public parking south of the landing strip. Some early-bird pilots start landing about sun-up and the air traffic continues all morning. Pilots come from a four-state area surrounding Oklahoma, some from as close as Sageeyah Field, others from the Coffeyville,

Wichita and Kansas City, Kansas area, others from Missouri, Lewisville in Texas and northwest Arkansas. Pilots come from all the northeast Oklahoma airfields, big and small. A tradition started several years ago by Joe Bacon, Will Rogers Memorial Museum Roper (docent), will continue when he and Lester Lurk from St. Genevieve, Mo., arrive at the airfield about 9 a.m. Lurk, who bears a resemblance to Will Rogers, attended an event a few years ago and has returned by popular demand.

In a tradition started last year, people across the country will be invited to join in a special moment of remembrance at 10 a.m. to be broadcast live over RSU Radio, 91.3 FM and on their website www.rsuradio.com. Mary West of Oologah will sing the “National Anthem.” Bring your own lawn chair or blanket and have a ringside seat to watch planes land and take off or walk among the planes and visit pilots. Guests will also be permitted to visit the house and room where Will was born and reflect on when the message of Wills death was delivered to the ranch 81 years ago. Other special activities will include antique cars, motorcycles, inflatables and games for children as well as food truck concessions on the grounds. Admission is free but donations will be accepted. Come out on August 13 for an event guaranteed to take you to new heights.

vintage and antique furnishings and home accessories. “We try to offer a lot of variety,” says owner Melinda Lyons. “And we try to offer something unique that you can’t find somewhere else, so our inventory constantly changes.” She also notes that prices vary across the store. “It just depends on the value, what it is, and the vendor,” she says. Prior to opening The StoreHouse Front, Melinda had already been buying and selling vintage home décor items as a side to her regular job. Then she and her husband Steve decided to lease the old auction building in downtown Catoosa to display her items and to offer space to local vendors. Vendor space is extremely reasonable in comparison with other venues in the area and comes in a variety of sizes, from very small to large. In addition, vendors who sign up now will lock in on the lower rates if they meet the criteria for booth rental. Upon purchasing, Melinda immediately set about to renovating the historic building and notes that it is a work in progress. Her vision for the look of the building is gradually coming together as she has labored hard over the months to give the outside an inviting feel that would be in keeping with the spirit of downtown Catoosa and Historic Route 66. In fact, this vision extends to the community itself, as she has wanted more than anything to host a welcoming and affordable venue in

which Catoosa and area vendors could offer their handmade creations and other unique items to the public. The building also has rooms for rent where classes can be hosted. Aromatherapy and basket weaving classes are already on the schedule, other classes can be found through store inquiries. “People who know Catoosa probably wonder what is going on with the old auction building on Cherokee,” says Melinda. The sign on the front porch says it all: The StoreHouse Front—Antiques, Home Décor, Boutique, Collectibles and More. Stop by the store to ask about becoming a vendor. The store is open Tuesday through Thursday, 10:30 am to 6 pm, Fridays and Saturdays 10:30 am to 5:30 pm, and Sundays, 1 pm to 5 pm, and is closed on Mondays.

National Competition Brings Boatloads of Fun continued from page 1 Saturday, August 13 and Sunday, August 14 from 11 a.m. until about 5 p.m. Claremore Lake is well accommodated in places with sheltered seating, however spectators are encouraged to bring folding chairs, umbrellas and blankets so they can find one of the lake’s picturesque and shady spots to watch the races. A beer garden and food trucks will be available for refreshments, so officials ask that no outside coolers be brought to the event. The Claremore Fire Local 1077 will host a Fish Fry at noon on Saturday with proceeds to go toward one of their multiple children’s charities. The lake’s playgrounds will be open and a children’s area will be available as well. The lake park will be closed during the trials and the race for public parking, except for handicap and motorcycle parking. The general public is asked to park

next door at the Will Rogers Roundup Club. Pets are welcome, as long as they are on a leash, as the boats are very loud and this tends to scare the animals. Safety for animals and humans alike is of primary importance and the focus between several groups cooperating at this event: Claremore Fire Department, Claremore Police Department, Grand River Dam Authority, Verdigris Fire Department, Pafford Ambulance and Northwest Fire District, who just got a new rescue boat which they will have at the event to provide any needed support. They will also have two spotter boats available in case any of the race boats stall or otherwise have trouble on the water. “This is truly a collaborative effort to keep racers and the public safe,” says Tanya. Trials for the race will be held on Thursday, August 11 and Friday, August 12

screening as soon as possible, preferably before kindergarten. Both vision and the health of the eyes themselves should be monitored yearly, so that prescriptions can be changed accordingly and problems can be detected early. Dr. Overstreet-Hogle wants parents to understand the myriad of ways that poor vision can affect a child. “Of course, vision affects reading and reading comprehension,” she says. “But if a child doesn’t see well, there may be behavioral issues as well.” She goes on to explain that a child who cannot see properly will lose concentration and focus, and this will cause the child to become bored, distracted, and even frustrated. Depending on the personality of the child, he or she will choose to fill their time in other ways. One child may daydream and completely zone out, and another may constantly pester and distract their friends or otherwise get into mischief. Two seemingly very different children may be suffering from the very same problem—poor vision—and may just be manifesting that problem in different ways. Dr. Overstreet-Hogle is always amazed at how many problems with grades and behavior seem to magically clear up when a child’s vision is corrected. It is important to note that vision correction is ongoing. Prescriptions change and problems that were not present one year may arise by the next. Dr. Overstreet-Hogle notes that this is especially true with the current, heavy dependence on electronic media, especially cell phones. Another symptom of poor vision is frequent headaches and Dr. Overstreet-Hogle has seen a dramatic increase in vision- related headaches during the last five years as personal cell phone usage has become the norm. Now, more than ever before, Dr. Overstreet-Hogle advises frequent breaks for the eyes. “You should give your eyes a break from the cell phone at least every thirty minutes for at least ten minutes,” she says. “And when you are reading anything, you should observe the proper

reading distance to reduce eye strain.” She goes on to compare eye focus to the zoom function on a camera. “When you are focusing on reading, the eye is just like a camera, with the pupil allowing light to enter like the aperture on the camera,” she points out. “If you were to constantly use the zoom focus on a camera, the battery on the camera would lose power very quickly—and the same will happen with your eyes if you continually use your ‘zoom’ function without any relief.” It’s easy to see that when it comes to vision, both prevention and correction are of extreme importance for any child’s success in the classroom for the coming year. And since our society depends so heavily on technology for news and entertainment, new vision problems can creep up at any time. Establishing a routine visit to the eye doctor is more important now than ever before for your child’s academic advancement and general well-being. This year, make a visit to Dr. Abby OverstreetHogle the first stop in your back to school preparation trip. After all, what good are colorful school supplies and stylish clothing if your child cannot see them to use and enjoy?

Rogers County Volunteers for Youth invites golfers and hackers of all skill levels to participate in their 12th annual “Smokin’ Hot 100” Golf Marathon

July 2016

on Tuesday, July 26th at Claremore’s Heritage Hills Golf Course. “Unlike an actual golf tournament, where golfers are concerned with their scores, this fun event is for players of any

level that have a heart for our youth-serving mission and would like to help us continue offering these valuable programs,” said Chris Butler, Volunteers for Youth Executive Director. Money is raised through the golf marathon because golfers and non-golfers alike can participate by selfpledging at $1.00 per hole, seeking matching pledges, and playing 100 holes of

golf in the July heat. Several changes in the format of the game are made to speed up the play and make playing 100 holes very possible. Since Volunteers for Youth is a 501c3 charitable organization, all pledges are tax deductible. Besides a lot of swings, a lot of fun and the satisfaction of helping Volunteers for Youth, participants will receive breakfast, lunch, continuous refreshments, plenty of golf balls to hit away and the opportunity to earn prizes. A shotgun start at daybreak, every golfer in their own

cart, and the course closed to others, allows the marathon to work. The event allows Volunteers for Youth to continue offering vital programs such as mentoring for Rogers County public school students, after school programming and summer camps for students in grades 6-8. Other programs that benefit include a program for juvenile first offenders to help them avoid juvenile court, a classroom setting for students on long-term suspensions from school as well as various healthy living & prevention programs aimed at reducing substance abuse among our youth and encouraging overall healthier communities.

FFit to Win

Broken Arrow native Brittany Watts wins NPC Jr. Nationals Championship in Charleston, advances towards Olympia dreams.

By Erica Ludwig Dreams wouldn’t matter as much without the fight to make them a reality. The best things in life, like a good workout, usually require some extra blood, sweat and tears. Some see bodybuilding as just modeling or competitions to show how much weight you can lift. To Broken Arrow native Brittany Watts, it’s a master-class on personal limits and growth. It’s not just a sport, but a lifestyle. At just 5’3”, the 27 year old has just won the National Physique Committee Jr. Nationals Championship in

Brittany competing in women’s physique.

Charleston, bringing her one step closer to her dreams of worldrenowned competitions such as the Arnolds. When it comes to training, Brittany’s motto is “be a savage”: to set a goal, work hard towards it and remain dedicated. She does this with the help of her coach, Andy Snyder, and the support of parents, Pastors Billy Joe and Theresa Watts. “I go to the gym twice a day,” she says. “It’s a very strict life. It’s not a two-life type of thing. You have to be sold out with working out and eating right. I spend between 30 and 40 hours per week in the gym. I love it, that’s my therapy.” Brittany started to take an interest in bodybuilding and physique competitions back in 2012 from friend Tanje Brewer, who was her Zumba instructor at the time. Since then, Brittany has put in whatever work necessary to reach her goals. “I’ve learned in this process that I’m a fighter,” she said. “I have so much fight in me now that I don’t think anything less than the best for myself. I only see myself

going the furthest possible. The Olympia, the Arnolds, those are the places I want to go. You don’t get there by not working hard.” The Broken Arrow native is currently training for the International Federation of Bodybuilding Pro to be held in Fort Lauderdale in December. The IFBB Pro consists of some of the best in the sport, and guarantees those who win a bid to the Olympia, otherwise known as “the superbowl of bodybuilding”. Win or lose, Brittany is determined to keep pressing forward and to never give up. She sees improvement and growth as victories all their own. “You can only get better,” she said. “I think anybody that thinks they want to be in this sport should try it at least once. It takes a lot of strength to train and compete. A lot of people start and don’t finish. Doing this has made me a better adult, a better person and a better daughter. You don’t just start something, show up and then quit over half of the way through. This makes you responsible for what you eat, what you drink. Like anything else, you can’t put in half the effort. It’s like being a Christian and going to church, you have to be linked up and surrounded by the right people.” Brittany attributes her success to hard work and the people who have helped her be the person she is today.

AA Fresh Approach Blooming Acres at A New Leaf, a nonprofit organization providing vocational and residential services to individuals with developmental disabilities, continues to grow in production and in size.

By Kayla Jones Blooming Acres: Where Inclusion Comes to Thrive, is a new vocational program that started in fall 2015 by A New Leaf. The organization received an innovation grant from Tulsa Area United Way in December 2014 for a Community Supported Agriculture Program, Blooming Acres. As experts in horticulture and as a means of training adults with disabilities to work, A New Leaf is taking a groundbreaking approach to solving systemic problems of poor health and unemployment among individuals with developmental disabilities and a lack of fresh produce in communities with an innovative and unique farm, to provide fresh produce to low-income community members. Blooming Acres offers the community several different ways to be involved! Community members can purchase full and/or petite garden shares for each growing season. Individuals that purchase a share will receive the season’s menu of weekly fresh produce from the Blooming Acres gardens delivered fresh to their door! Full shares

serve families of 4 to 6 and petite shares serve 1 to 2 person families. The individuals or businesses that purchase a share can purchase for their households or they can have their share donated to local food banks and other nonprofits. In the spring of 2016 Blooming Acres supported 14 families as well as the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma and a portion of A New Leaf’s residential clients. The summer menu and shares will support 18 families as well as the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma and A New Leaf’s residential clients. Not even a year old, Blooming Acres has expanded to 25 raised beds, 20 potato barrels and developing three empty acres into thriving row crops. Throughout the fall, spring and summer seasons, Blooming Acres will produce over 1,000 pounds of produce. The A New Leaf client teams that have poured their hard work and sweat into the new program say the best part is harvest and delivering the produce they have

created. The full produce menus of fresh herbs, spinach, broccoli, potatoes, tomatoes, beans and soon corn, squash, peppers and even watermelon, keep the workers and participants excited to see what they will get in their next week’s delivery. As the last of the new potatoes were harvested one client exclaimed,“I’m a farmer!” Fresh produce sprouts from the Blooming Acres gardens each week. “The excitement and pride of what the clients are programming in a greenhouse for the Broken Arrow and Tulsa producing is priceless to see,” CEO environment serving as a vocational community, contact A New Leaf Mary Ogle said. “With the state training center for adults with today. budget cuts that we have faced developmental disabilities. along with other agencies, successes A New Leaf is excited to be like these deserve to be celebrated.” achieving their goal of giving back For more information, contact A New Leaf, Inc. provides to local nonprofits, low-income individuals with disabilities A New Leaf community members and creating marketable job training in a additional jobs for individuals PO Box 35903 horticulture environment, conducts with developmental disabilities.
