LCI’s ultimate goal is a satis ed customer and outstanding workmanship in each job they tackle. When you’re considering replacing a driveway or other concrete areas of your home or business properties, make su re you know the people you’re asking for estimates.  Get a qu ote in writing that itemizes all work to be done and sp eci cations of the products and materials they will use in completing the work.

Local businesses and organizations are encouraged to consider partnering with RCTC for job placements, opening doors to meaningful employment opportunities for these capable individuals.

“Many times people focus on the disability and lose sight of what these people can do,” Davis said, with Richardson adding, “ e desire to work and to prove they can do well, it sometimes surprises people.”

A notable highlight in RCTC’s calendar is the annual RCTC Golf Tournament, a tradition that recently celebrated its 39th iteration. anks to the unwavering support and dedication of local volunteers and organizations like BancFirst, the tournament has grown into a signi cant fundraiser for the center. As we look for ward to the 40th tournament next year, RCTC invites new sponsors, promising not only a day of sport and camaraderie but the opportunity to make a tangible di erence in the lives of many.

MOSQUITO SQUAD HELPS TREAT

THE SYMPTOMS AND PROBLEMS OF PESTS

Will you be a mosquito’s next meal? Research has documented various reasons why some people are bothered more by mosquitoes than others. Factors such as how much you breathe and the carbon dioxide you emit during activity, how much you sweat (the acids you emit draw them to you like mom’s home cooking), what you’re wearing (contrasting colors help them spot you), your blood type (type O i s their favorite), and what you drink such as a beer.

Mosquito-borne diseases take the lives of over a million people a year, making them the #1 deadliest animal on the planet (as cited at https://www. mosquitosquad.com/west-tulsa/bugsdiseases/mosquitoes/, and https:// www.gatesnotes.com/Most-LethalAnimal-Mosquito-Week).

e severe health risks associated with mosquito bites include Zika, West Nile virus, Malaria, and other vectorborne diseases; as well as Lyme disease spread by ticks. Mosquito Squad of Tulsa combines specialized equipment with a proprietar y blend registered

QUESTIONS MOST OFTEN ASKED:

Martial Arts Academy cademy

Mar tial Arts Academy in O wasso has been nurturing leaders through the disciplined art of martial ar ts since 2003. With a primary fo cus on building leaders, the academy provides an environment where eve ry punch, kick, and stance transcends physical b oundaries to instill lifechanging virtues.

e academy op erates on a consistently structured regimen that ensures all who walk through its do ors, regardless of age, are met with a respectful and disciplined atmosphere. is is a place where families come together, not just to train but to grow as units of so ciety that value and practice patience, perseverance, and resp ect for one another

“It is a privilege to speak into these young minds in a meaningful way to

promote con dence and success,” owner and chief instructor of Martial Arts Academy, Chris Velez, said.

Establishe d as a full-time professional academy, it has been dedic ated to the persona l development of its members for over two decades. e instructors are more than teachers, they are mentors who are fully immersed in the moment with each student, guiding them through their journey with unwavering suppor t and encouragement. e expectation is clear from day one: maturity, regardless of age.

is mature atmosphere fosters a sense of resp onsibility and self-awareness among students, making them more receptive to learning not only martial arts but also essential life skills.

“Discipline is not always restraint. S elf control is not always inaction,” Velez said. “We teach our young persons not to be

held captive by the opinions of others so they can grow the courage and con dence to be leaders.”

ose who doubt their abilities are o en the ones who stand to gain the most. is philosophy opens the do ors to many who might have never considered martial ar ts as a path for personal growth. It’s an invitation to challenge oneself, to step out of comfort zones, and to discover untapp ed p otential. e transformation witnessed in such individuals is profound, as they o en emerge more con dent, fo cused, and disciplined.

“We cultivate a success oriented mindset and focus from day one,” he said.

For Velez, one of the most rewarding aspects of his role is witnessing a breakthrough in his students’ martial ar ts journey, which o en doubles as a signi cant personal victo ry

cademy

“Watching a student rise to the occasion, which usually is them taking a step beyond what they thought their limits were, is the best part,” he said.
