By Stephanie Reed What initially began as a health agency, The Insurance Crew found its start with the upheaval in the market. Identifying a need to diversify and expand, Dirk Hunter and his partner, Shane Allbee, worked for four years to establish all A-rated carriers in Oklahoma.

Not to be confused with a brokerage house, The Insurance Crew houses agents who value

Being an independent insurance agency allows us to negotiate and find the insurance that is best suited to our customers’ needs. If the situation demands it, we adjust coverage and companies

Ultherapy uses ultrasound to lift, tone and tighten the skin. It is FDA approved for the face, neck and brow. Ultherapy targets the deep foundation below the skin-typically addressed in cosmetic surgery - without cutting or disrupting the skin’s surface. Ultherapy stimulates the body’s own natural collagen building process. With just one treatment, Ultherapy initiates the lifting process which builds gradually over two to three months and continues to improve over time. Ultherapy is a compelling option for people with mild to moderate skin laxity as well as those wanting to “stay ahead of the game” or those looking to prolong the effects of cosmetic surgery. Love the skin you’re in and call us today for a complimentary consultation.

Church’s Outreach Ministry Is Rock Steady The Rock Church offers a variety of events and programs to the community throughout the year.

By Duane Blankenship Pastors Billy Joe and Theresa Watts began their outreach ministry at The Rock Church in September of 2007. Since that time, Pastor Billy Joe says, “The Rock has experienced good, constant growth.” The Rock Church is a multiracial, diverse congregation with a mission of serving God and loving people. They meet each week at the Union High School Performing

Arts Center, located immediately behind the football stadium, at 6636 S. Mingo Rd. Connection classes begin at 9 a.m. and worship services are at 10 am. Bible Study is held each Wednesday evening at 7 p.m. at 5700 S. 107th E. Ave. (61st and Highway 169). The Rock Church offers something for every member of the family, and you’re invited to

The Rock Church Pastors Billy Joe and Theresa Watts are serving God and loving people.

join them for a unique experience where both Billy Joe and Theresa are confident you will “Feel God, Feel the Love, and Feel The Rock.” “The roots of happiness grow deepest in the soil of service,” says Billy Joe, “and that’s how our church grows as we engage in cultivating the soil of service. We try to do things that will zero in on our outreach within the Tulsa community as we get outside our four walls and share the faith.” Mother’s Day falls on Sunday, May 11. The Rock will celebrate a week earlier with Pastor Theresa hosting The Rock Church’s 1st annual Ladies Conference on Friday evening and Saturday morning, May 3 and 4. Both sessions will be held at 5700 S. 107th E. Ave. (61st & 169). Pastor Ericka McCutcheon is the featured speaker. She and husband Pastor John McCutcheon pastor Joint Heirs Fellowship in Houston, Texas. Rev. Beverly Erby will minister at the Saturday morning session; she along with her husband Tony Erby are associate pastors at Eagle Mountain International Church, Ft. Worth, Texas.

Immediately following the Saturday morning session, lunch will served at The Bistro at 101st and Sheridan at 12 noon. Registration for the conference and luncheon is $35. Door prizes will be given out. On Sunday, May 11, the morning worship service at The Rock will be followed by a special recognition time for mothers and any woman 18 years and older. Roses and a special gift will be presented to each woman attending. Any remaining roses will be distributed by Pastors Billy Joe and Theresa to ladies residing at a local nursing home. There will be lots of fun door prizes at the service, including Coach purses, an overnight stay at the Cedar Rock Inn, gift cards, jewelry, pedicures, and more. “Even if you aren’t a mother,” says Billy Joe, “we know all ladies make a positive influence on children as they grow up, and we like to recognize all women at our Mother’s Day program.” “Everyone is invited to attend all of our services or special programs,” says Theresa. The Rock Church Wednesday night Bible Study is kicking off its first-ever Financial Empowerment

Page 7

Seminars, Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. Pastor Billy Joe will lead this study and will share practical tips for healthy wealth building according to scripture. The program is sponsored by The Rock Church Financial Impact Team. The Rock will also be presenting a class built around Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University, date to be announced. Pastor Theresa has a special heart for equipping young people with the word of God. “When our children graduate from high school, we want them to have a great relationship with God and be responsible young adults,” she says. Pastor Theresa will attend a 252 Basics Seminar later this year and employ seminar basics at the church to involve parents and to arm children with the God-given wisdom that will equip them to engage the culture for Christ. The Rock Church has programs for adults, children and youth. One is “Life Coaching” with Pastor Billy Joe that is just for men. The theme is “What it means to be a Christian man.” Visit the website or call The Rock office for more details on any of their services or programs. Billy Joe says, “Our heart’s desire is to take a personal interest in everyone who walks through our doors.” For more information, contact

EXIT Realty is dedicated to finding the “exit” for every buyer and seller; with EXIT Realty, new beginnings are just around the corner. By Stephanie Reed After completing their first year in business, EXIT Realty has established themselves in Tulsa as a realty company that is bounding above the rest. Established in Mississauga, Ontario, EXIT Realty Connexx is renowned for their agent benefits and their international base of referrals. “EXIT is not like any of the other big names in the industry,” comments Sally Perez of EXIT Realty. “They truly care about their agents. In fact, the CEO was in our office last week to conduct broker training. Very few agencies can say that.” After observing the Tulsa market, EXIT Realty decided to establish an office in the Tulsa area. Just one problem, they were in dire need of reputable, successful people to lead the office. They set their sights on Sally Perez and Rena McBee and never looked back. Both Sally and Rena have been licensed realtors for 20 years. Sally practiced as an independent broker for 16.5 years and owned her own mortgage company. Rena, also immensely successful,

Sally Perez and Rena McBee.

established a brokerage firm that expanded into seven locations complete with a real-estate office. Both served as President Elect of Oklahoma Association of Mortgage Brokers. Sally served as director on the MLS board, while Rena sat as Chair of the Western Region for Continuing Education. The vast amount of knowledge and dedication to clients has made EXIT Realty a success in Tulsa. Sally and Rena have managed to achieve an astounding 97% list to sell price in nondistressed sales. In layman’s terms, these master realtors manage to sell homes for at least 97% of the original sale price. Not only are these stats far above the national average, but in a buyers’ market, this speaks volumes to sellers. In addition, the average time on the market for nondistressed sales is a whopping 62 days. “We really work hard for our clients. We understand the stress of home buying and selling,” Rena explains. It is this same spirit of dedication that has led these two ladies to teach

The Face of Climate Change BY SHIRLEY HALL

The global theme for Earth Day 2013 is “The Face of Climate Change”. Celebrations are planned worldwide; however on March 22, 2013, thirty-one countries celebrated World Water Day. These celebrations highlighted caring for water and the importance of healthy hydration. Are these two days so different? We’ve heard the stories of tsunami debris washing ashore along our Western coastline; yet little is said about how this debris affects our drinking water. In March of this year headlines across the internet read: “Japanese Tsunami Debris STILL Washing Up …as Dead Fish and Birds are Found with Stomachs full of Plastic”. Tsunami debris is washing ashore all along our western coastline. You know the science of what wind and rain can carry. How are you protecting yourself and those you care about most? Perhaps like many Americans you’ve turned to bottled water. It’s healthier, cheaper, safer, and tastes better, right? Wrong! Unregulated bottled water is often of lower quality, is 2,000 times more expensive than tap water and – unknown

to most; one third of bottled water is actually filtered tap water. Corporate marketing schemes have led us to believe bottled water is clean and healthy while city tap water is bad and dangerous. In 2006, Fiji Water ran ads bragging their product doesn’t come from Cleveland; only to have tests show a glass of Fiji water was lower in quality than Cleveland tap water, OOPS! Then there’s all that plastic. Trends toward REUSABLE bottles have gained significant momentum. Surprised? Despite this trend, 80% of bottles end up in landfills or incinerators. Oil and energy needed to fuel a million cars is used to manufacture water bottles each year - is this environmentally friendly?

Corporate Accountability International reported it costs cities more than $70 million to landfill water bottles each year. Yet Americans consume half a billion bottles every week. Bottled water is a $5 billion dollar a year industry in the US alone. On World Water Day we were asked to pause and consider the insanity of a global economy where a billion people lack access to safe drinking water while other people spend billions on a bottled product that's no cleaner, harms people and the environment and costs up to 2,000 times the price of tap water. Anne Leonard’s film, “The Story of Water” asks us to “pledge to avoid buying and drinking bottled water unless it is unhealthy to drink local water where you live– you can buy a water filter and donate the money you save to help developing countries improve their infrastructure and convince local politicians to invest in our public water system, so we can get safe, healthy water right from the tap.” We strongly agree !

neighbors, but don’t want to spend a ton of money, call SoonerLawn Weed Control & Fertilization today. According to Michael, SoonerLawn has maintained a decade of success for three simple reasons – competitive pricing, excellent customer service, and impressive results. “Give us a chance! We are willing to go above and beyond for our customers, and we provide great results. You’ll be happy with your beautiful, thick, green lawn,” says Michael. “We also have very good prices. We researched and found that our prices are below most, if not all, other local lawn care companies.” Friendly employees and top-notch results at a low price – what are you waiting for? Michael explains that their six-step program will give you a greener, healthier lawn, and now is the perfect time to get started. Step one, best completed in early spring, is an application of preemergent herbicide for crabgrass control. Steps two through five involve applying post-emergent herbicides plus fertilizer, and are done in the spring and summer.

The final step, winterized weed control to keep your yard looking great in the winter, is completed in the fall. SoonerLawn is licensed and insured and provides a variety of services for both residential and commercial customers, including weed control, fertilization, aeration, perimeter control, insecticides, mole control, turf disease control, fescue seeding, and flower bed fertilization. They also offer suggestions to the home or business owner on related issues such as proper watering and mowing. Give SoonerLawn a call – you won’t be disappointed when you end up with a gorgeous, lush, green lawn!

Dinner Extravaganza to Benefit Charities The Parish of St. Bernard of Clairvaux will sponsor a fundraising event on May 30 at Hard Rock Hotel Tulsa for three local charities.

By Duane Blankenship The Parish of St. Bernard of Clairvaux will sponsor the Dinner Extravaganza, a fundraising event benefitting three local charities: Knights of Columbus’s Ultrasound Project, ACTS Ministry, and Habitat for Humanity. Dinner Extravaganza is scheduled to be held at the Hard Rock Hotel Tulsa on May 30, 2013 at 7 p.m. According to Phil Doerpinghaus, co-chairman of the event, “Only 1,000 tickets will be sold for drawings that will be conducted that evening. The first place drawing will be for a 2013 Lincoln MKZ automobile, and you pick the color if you are the lucky winner.” There will be 99 additional drawings for $100 in cash. Tickets are $100 each and may be purchased online at www.stbernardstulsa.org or at Vincent Anthony Jewelers, located at 101st and Sheridan in Tulsa. One hundred winners will be drawn from the 1,000 tickets to be sold. That’s one winner out of every ten tickets sold – not bad odds! When you purchase a ticket, you also receive a free dinner to be served the evening of the

event. Entertainment, to be announced, will also be provided at the Dinner Extravaganza. “This will be a great evening of excitement and entertainment as we conduct drawings for the 100 prizes and raise funds to benefit three great local charity organizations,” said Lonnie Iannazzo, member of St. Bernard and owner of Vincent Anthony Jewelers. Part of the proceeds from the Dinner Extravaganza will benefit the Knights of Columbus®, a Catholic fraternal benefits organization founded in Connecticut. In the late-19th

century, there was growing hostility toward Catholic immigrants and dangerous working conditions in factories that left many families fatherless. Recognizing a vital need, Father Michael J. McGivney gathered a group of men at his parish in 1881 and proposed establishing a lay organization to unite men of Catholic faith and to provide for the families of deceased members. Catholic men were drawn to the Knights because of its emphasis on serving one’s church, community, and family with virtue. The order is still known as a force for public good. Part of the funds from the Dinner Extravaganza will be used to further promote and expand the Knights of Columbus’s Ultrasound Project. Seven Ultrasound machines have already been purchased and donated by the Knights of Columbus to clinics throughout Oklahoma. ACTS (Adoration Community Theology Service) Ministry promotes unity in Christ through the Holy Spirit. The ACTS Ministry is independent, trans-denominational, and inter-

Lonnie Iannazzo, owner of Vincent Anthony Jewelers, and Phil Doerpinghaus, co-chairman of the St. Bernard Dinner Extravaganza, are looking forward to the fundraiser that will benefit three local charities. national. This parish function of St. Bernard promotes the gospel of Jesus Christ through local and national ACTS retreat programs. The work of the organization and its scheduled retreats are done by clergy and laity. The third recipient of funds from the Dinner Extravaganza will be Habitat for Humanity, a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian ministry founded on the conviction that every man, woman and child should have a decent, safe and affordable place to live. Habitat builds for people in need regardless of race or religion. They welcome volunteers and supporters from all backgrounds. Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, are probably Habitat’s most famous

supporters. St. Bernard will be starting their fourteenth house project in the Tulsa area this April in connection with Habitat for Humanity. Mark your calendar for the St. Bernard Dinner Extravaganza, May 30 at Hard Rock Hotel Tulsa. Your participation and support for three very worthy organizations in the Tulsa area will be greatly appreciated.

BBEE a S-T-A-R

The 15th annual “Spell-A-Round Creek County” fundraiser will be held April 13 at Freddie’s BBQ & Steakhouse to support Creek County Literacy.

By Sheryl Sowell Spelling bees have been around since the 1800s, and the first National Spelling Bee was held in 1925 (with the winning word being “gladiolus”). Bees are an exciting and fun way to contend against your peers, but are typically only held for children ages 6 to 14. This month, adults will have the opportunity to compete, show off their spelling skills, and support a wonderful cause at the 15th annual Spell-A-Round Creek County spelling bee, benefitting the Creek County Literacy Program

(CCLP). The event will be held Saturday, April 13 at 6 p.m. at Freddie’s BBQ & Steakhouse in Sapulpa and will feature dinner, a silent auction, prizes and fun for all. Melissa Muncy was appointed executive director of the Creek County Literacy Program in January, and she is excited for her first Spell-ARound. “This event will raise funds for Creek County Literacy to continue offering free tutoring for adults, youth and children in Creek County,” she

Board Member Cynthia Holtwick, Executive Director Melissa Muncy, and Administrative Assistant Debbie Marshall invite you to Spell-A-Round Creek County.

explains. “Businesses, organizations and individuals donate time and money to raise awareness of the program by creating two and three person teams to square off in a multi-round spelling bee. Last year the event raised approximately $10,000, and our goal this year is $15,000.” The cost for a team of three, which includes seating and dinner, team entry, and three event T-shirts, is $175. Once a team pays the entry fee, a list of about 100 words is sent to the team captain. Over 90 percent of the words from the competition are taken from this word list, so study it hard! After a delicious dinner catered by Freddie’s, teams are seated together and given a small marker board. The judge will then give the same word to all teams, who will write the word on the marker board. One point for each correct letter is awarded, and once a wrong letter is written, the rest of the letters of the word do not count for points. After an allotted number of words are given, points are tallied and the top three teams advance to the “Ultimate Stinger Round.”

An exciting new addition to the bee this year is bribery. If your team does not spell the word correctly, you may still advance by bribing the judges. The amount of bribery money needed to advance increases with each round. “We recommend your team fundraise for bribery money in advance,” says Melissa. This will be Administrative Assistant Debbie Marshall’s sixth go-round at the bee, and she said it’s always a whole lot of fun. “Everyone is dressed up in themed costumes, cheering and having a great time.” Adding to the fun, drawings for door prizes will be held throughout the evening. The theme this year is “I Want to BEE a Star!”. Attendees and participants are encouraged to dress to the nines like glamorous movie stars at an awards show. Prizes will be awarded for Best Team Name, Best Theme Costumes and Best Spellers. The prize for most money raised will be determined after the event. Winning spellers receive trophies, and a traveling trophy is presented to the top team. Last year’s overall winner was “The Wanna-BEEZZZ” of Sapulpa Public Library. You can help Creek County Literacy by forming a team, becoming a sponsor, making a contribution, purchasing raffle tickets, donating or bidding on auction items, or becoming a volunteer tutor. The Queen Bee Presenting Sponsor for 2013 is American Heritage Bank. All proceeds from the event support CCLP’s

mission to encourage, educate and equip aspiring readers to overcome the barriers of illiteracy. For more information about forming a team or becoming a sponsor, please call (918) 224-9647. Creek County Literacy Program is also currently seeking garage sale donations for their Indoor Rummage Sale on Thursday, May 2. All proceeds of the sale will benefit CCLP. They are accepting donations of gently-used electronics, household items and toys (no clothing). Please call to arrange dropoff of items at the Library Annex, 15 N. Poplar St. in Sapulpa.

SStaying Home on Weekends Is Nutty Bring the family out to the Route 66 Nut House Trader Days April 19-21.

By Susan Erler You’ve been there before: it’s Saturday morning and the kids are anxious to get out and do something fun, but you have no idea where you can take them. And in this economy, cost is always a concern. Hazel Ward,

owner of The Nut House in Claremore, has the perfect solution to your weekend blues, at least one weekend a month, anyway! Hazel has long had a vision of creating a recurring family fun

Tara, Adam and Hazel of The Nut House.

event at her place of business, combining arts and crafts with antiques while offering all of the tasty and unique products The Nut House is known for. “I am really excited to create a monthly weekend outing that offers fun activities for the kids, amazing shopping opportunities for the wives, and mouthwatering food sure to keep the husbands happy,” she says. The inaugural Route 66 Nut House Trader Days event is planned for April 19, 20 and 21 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day. Hazel is still looking for local crafters or vendors who would like to participate. If you are a crafter, please contact Hazel at (918) 266-1604 or email her at 66nuts@gmail.com. Booth spaces are available at a nominal fee and you can choose from either indoor or outdoor locations. Hot Mama’s Deli inside The Nut House will be open and ready to serve all kinds of delectable sandwiches, mouthwatering fudge, hot coffee and delicious sweets. “No one should leave here hungry,” laughs Hazel. The Nut House has been a Route 66 tradition since opening its doors in 1979. Back then, the business was very different.

When Hazel’s husband surprised her by purchasing The Nut House in 2006, she decided it needed a few changes. The biggest change was that they went from being open only a few months a year during pecan season to year-round. Hazel saw a need for customers to be able to get their products any time. “One of the biggest misconceptions people have about us is that we are only open at limited times and that fresh pecans are only available in the fall,” explains Hazel. “So many people simply purchase their pecans in the grocery store the rest of the year, but there is no way to know if they have been handled properly. We are experts when it comes to pecans, and we take measures to ensure the highest quality and freshness year-round. You never need to settle for low quality.” Don’t let the name fool you, though – The Nut House offers much more. They are constantly searching for new items to offer their customers and focus on finding quality items that you would not typically find in a grocery or discount store. Hazel makes sure they sell only topshelf products, including Boar’s

Head meats in the deli. “Boar’s Head is top of the line for deli meats, so we are proud to serve their products,” she says. “We also sell many of the local Amish food products including Amish cheeses, which are always extremely popular. I like knowing that my customers are getting the highest quality product I can find, but also at a reasonable price.” Gourmet coffees, homemade cookies and bars, handmade fudge in so many flavors it’s nearly impossible to choose, and many other sweets are all lovingly created and served at The Nut House. Make plans to enjoy lunch or at least a snack while you are there. You won’t be disappointed. For more information about the upcoming Route 66 Nut House Trader Days or any of their products, feel free to give The Nut House a call. For more information, contact

Jump In! lessons for a variety of ages and skill levels. John Waytula, director of Parks and Recreation for the City of Sapulpa, says that since opening in 2010, the Sapulpa Aquatics Center has taught 930 children how to swim. “We go above and beyond teaching basic swimming skills by also focusing on safety,” he adds. “We teach the principles of swimming efficiency starting with a float, adding propulsion, and finishing with coordination of swim strokes. When children and adults are taught what to do in adverse water-related situations, they are less likely to panic.” The six water safety instructors on Sapulpa’s staff are highly trained, certified and eager to help swimmers learn and have fun at the same time. Class sizes are limited to six per class so that everyone receives plenty of individual attention. The Aquatics Center will offer 100 Learn-to-Swim classes this summer in five two-week sessions. Parents may choose from six different skill levels, and five different time slots per session. Jumpin’ Jellyfish, Sapulpa’s popular parent and child class, is offered during each session. The class teaches parents a great deal about introducing children to the water, safety, and swimming skills for infants and toddlers ages 6 months to 36 months. Private

continued from page 1 lessons for adults and children are also available. Learning to swim is a highly important skill to obtain. Did you know that Oklahoma leads the nation in per capita drowning for the past 10 years? According to the Centers for Disease Control, from 2005 to 2009, for children ages 1 to 4 the leading cause of injury-related death was drowning. For children ages 5 to 14, motor vehicle-related injuries were the leading cause of unintentional injury-related death with drowning second. The Sapulpa Parks staff is excited about their upcoming fourth season. Attendance has reached 112,788 over the past three years. In addition to offering lessons, the Sapulpa Aquatics Center will be open to the public seven days per week for recreational swimming all summer. Located at Liberty Park, 1400 E. Haskell St., the 405-bathing load capacity, 125,000-gallon pool features an attractive zero depth beach entry, designated areas for small children, lap lanes, railings for increased ADA accessibility, two large flume water slides, a smaller child slide, a trio bucket, a mushroom spray, and covered shade units, with trained and certified lifeguards always on duty. Liberty Park also features a half-mile lighted trail, tennis, sand volleyball, and basketball courts.

Summer lifeguard jobs are currently available, and applicants must be at least 16 years old and have successfully completed lifeguard certification. One of the main goals of Sapulpa Parks is to encourage everyone in the community to live more active lifestyles, and swimming is one of the best exercises around. Not only is it excellent for burning calories, building muscle tone and strength, improving cardiovascular conditioning, and increasing flexibility, it is also great for people with physical limitations or joint problems such as knee and hip pain. “Swimming is a healthy lifetime activity for ages 1 to 101,” says John. The Sapulpa Aquatics Center offers lap swim three days a week, as well as Aqua Zumba classes twice a week. “Our Aqua Zumba classes are really popular. Everyone enjoys our instructor Samantha Copeland, who is very enthusiastic, fun and encouraging,” says John. Sapulpa Parks also offers a recreation swim team program, which meets two days per week. The Sapulpa Aquatics Center is also available for private parties, birthday parties, family reunions and corporate events. Visit www.sapulpaparks.org for rates and more information. Jason Sauer, aquatics supervisor, is thankful for the consistent support the

Sapulpa Aquatics Center has received from the community. “We are thrilled by the participation of the citizens of Sapulpa and guests from surrounding areas, and feel it is truly a reflection of the skills and professionalism of our wonderful staff. We are very grateful to the community and would like to thank everyone for making the Sapulpa Aquatics Center a huge hit for the past three seasons. We’re very excited for continued success in our fourth season.” The Sapulpa Aquatics Center’s 2013 summer season begins Saturday, May 25. It will be open seven days a week from noon to 6 p.m. (noon to 8 p.m. on Thursdays). Daily admission is $3.25 with children three and younger free.

W Walk MS Tulsa

The National MS Society Oklahoma celebrates its 26th annual Walk MS Tulsa on Saturday, April 13.

By Duane Blankenship Be inspired. Get connected. Walk MS. “Money we raise at the annual Walk MS Tulsa fundraising event supports research as we move closer to our ultimate goal of a world free of MS,” said Brandi Moore, National MS Society Oklahoma regional manager. For the 26th year, Tulsa area residents will make a positive impact in the lives of those affected by MS. You are invited to be a part of the celebration by making a donation, sponsoring a team, supporting an existing team, or being a fund raiser and participating in the Walk MS Tulsa at Veterans Park at 18th and Boulder on Saturday, April 13. Registration begins at 7:30 a.m., with walkers heading out on a three-mile River Trails course at 9. Register the morning of the event or go online to preregister. Walk MS participants are asked to raise $100 each. “All fundraising is due by May 13,” said Walk MS Tulsa Manager Rachel Klenda. Each walker raising $100 earns a commemorative T-shirt. The top 50 fundraising teams, know as Mission Movers, from

Brandi Moore (National MS Society Oklahoma regional manager), Christie Tull (Walk MS Tulsa chairperson), and Rachel Klenda (Walk MS Tulsa manager) look forward to the walk and accompanying festivities.

available today,” said Christie. Christie’s older sister, Valerie, woke up one morning when she was only 28 years old, called Christie and told her that she was totally numb on one side of her body and that she couldn’t hold a pencil. “I have MS,” she said. Valerie’s self-diagnosis was immediately confirmed. Although she had enjoyed playing soccer for many years, she was forced to retire. Valerie did regain feeling in her affected side and her MS was in remission for about five years, allowing her to return to playing soccer. She did have another flare-up, but is now in remission. Christie and Valerie got involved with Walk MS in 2000 and have since been active supporters. Along with being the 2013 chairperson, Christie also sponsors a team called The Kickers. When asked what MS meant to Christie, she responded, “MS means my sister!” The National MS Society is committed to finding new treatments for all people with multiple sclerosis and to help ensure financial support for those having to deal with the havoc it causes. Walk MS events throughout our state have a goal to raise $400,000 this year.

the previous year’s event are provided a large tent where team members may meet before and after the walk. Walk MS is a great social opportunity and a special time to connect with others who have a heart for eliminating MS and aiding individuals and families affected by the disease. Even if you can’t actively participate this year, you and your family are invited to visit Veterans Park and witness the happenings. Beginning around 10 a.m., activities will focus around the MS photo booth and the MS expo, a large tent for those with MS and their families. Local vendors will be on hand who specialize in products and services available to those impacted by MS. The expo is an opportunity for you to learn more about this debilitating disease. Clowns, bounce houses and more will keep the children entertained. Panera Bread, QuikTrip and Starbucks are donating pastries and beverages for all Walk MS Tulsa participants, and the walkers’ lunch is being donated by Bar-S Foods and Sam’s Club. Music will be provided by a local band. Christie Tull is the 2013 Walk MS Tulsa chairperson. Christie’s mother suffered for 18 years before finally being diagnosed with MS. She was forced to retire at about age 50 and ultimately lost her life to MS at age 59. “None of the medications available at the time helped my mom. Fortunately, many more treatment options are

Two Knee Replacements, One Surgeon Leroy Moore of Tulsa recommends Dr. LaButti after his two successful knee replacements.

By Joshua Danker-Dake got engaged in 2010 and were married in 2011, at the age of 80. While we were engaged, I decided to have my right knee replaced because I was having trouble walking. Dr. LaButti had visited Town Village and was helping with the exercise program there, so I went to see him.” Dr. LaButti performed the operation in January of 2011. “When Dr. LaButti examined me for the first surgery, he said that since my legs were bowed, the right leg would be just a little longer than the other leg after the operation because it would be straight, which would make the wear on the left knee more severe,” Leroy says. “And he was correct – it wore down in one year.” Dr. LaButti replaced Leroy’s left knee in January 2013. “My legs had been bowed and my cartilage was gone – I was boneon-bone and had side wear in the left knee, so I decided to have it done, and it went extremely well,” Leroy says. “I went from the walker to a cane in a week, and in five-and-a-half weeks I had given up the cane. I had in-house therapy three days a

Leroy Moore, of Tulsa, had both knees replaced with Dr. Ronald LaButti. “I had cartilage removed from my left knee in 1969 and had the same operation on the right knee in 1983,” Leroy says. “By the mid1990s, I was having pain in both knees, but I kept putting surgery off, mainly because I was living alone and would have no one to help me get around afterward.” Leroy spent 32 years as an industrial engineer for Western Electric Manufacturing (which later became AT&T Manufacturing), working in Oklahoma City, Dallas, and Burlington, North Carolina. Leroy’s hobbies included golf, fishing and photography, and so when he retired there in 1991, he worked as a golf course starter and in the pro shop. In 2002, he moved back to Oklahoma City to be near family. In 2009, Leroy moved to Town Village Retirement Community in Tulsa. “I lived by myself for 25 years after I lost my wife,” Leroy says. “I came to Tulsa to be near my daughter. I met a lovely lady, Enyd, and we

week for six weeks, which as a big help on my road to recovery, and I never had to take any pain pills for either operation. I’m walking without a limp, and the therapist said I was about four weeks ahead of schedule in my recovery.” All things considered, Leroy’s experience with Dr. LaButti was extremely positive, he says. “I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. LaButti. If I were ever to need to have my hips done, I would go back to him. And he does his surgery at Oklahoma Surgical Hospital, which is a wonderful hospital – the staff was wonderful each time I stayed there.” For more information on Dr. LaButti or knee or hip replacement surgery, visit www.hipandkneedoc.com.

Assistance for Seniors and Their Families Assisted Transition provides free senior living and referral services for the greater Tulsa area.

By Sheryl Sowell When the time comes to transition an elderly loved one out of their home and into an assisted living facility, nursing home or similar type of community, numerous questions arise. What are the differences between the various facilities? What can we afford? Will my loved one be

happy in their new home? Assisted Transition is available to answer these questions and more, offering free senior living placement and referral services for the greater Tulsa area. The reasons for needing to transition an elder into a different living situation are vast and

Michelle Brown and Mark Smith, owners of Assisted Transition.

may include declining physical or mental health, lack of support system available in case of emergency, or inability to take care of home maintenance needs. “Many people realize, ‘This is what we need to do,’ but they’re unsure exactly how to go about it,” says Michelle Brown, co-owner of Assisted Transition with Mark Smith. “Our services are geared toward families that have planned ahead and are prepared for the change, but need help in finding the right home for their family member.” Assisted Transition assists families in finding the right assisted living community, independent living community, residential care home, nursing home, home care provider, or memory support/Alzheimer’s community. They also help find respite short-term stay and hospice care. “We are here to help you understand all of your options,” explains Michelle, a registered nurse with a specialty in home health. “The terminology can be very confusing. We will explain the differences and help determine the right living situation for your loved one.” Michelle and Mark say that

to read between the lines and provide insight into the senior’s needs that the family may not be aware of.” After the initial meeting, Mark or Michelle will narrow down the choices available and tour and evaluate the facilities. Upon determining the best options, they will personally drive the senior and family to the best matched locations for a guided tour. Once a selection has been made and the person moved to the right facility, they follow up to ensure that all expectations have been met. As a certified senior advisor, Mark is able to offer advice on the variety of financial, health and social issues seniors face. He also works with the VA to assist veterans in making sure they receive their full benefits. This service is especially close to Mark’s heart, as he is a veteran of the Aviation Branch of the United States Army. Michelle and Mark truly care about seniors in our community and want to provide families the assistance they need to make the transition as comfortable as possible. “This is a difficult and confusing time, and our goal is to make this change easier and less stressful for everyone involved, with personalized, compassionate, selfless service,” says Michelle.

many older people have negative associations with moving out of their home, as it can make them feel as if they’re no longer useful or worthwhile citizens. “However, most people find that giving up the obligations of home maintenance allows them to focus on other aspects of their lives,” says Mark. “Independent living, for example, offers tremendous benefits emotionally, physically and psychologically, providing seniors the luxury they deserve in this state of their life. These communities consist of individual apartments in a facility that provides meals, interaction with their peers and pleasurable activities. When an elderly person lives alone and does not experience this socialization, depression can seep in, which can cause them to mimic the signs of early dementia.” Assisted living is another option that may be right for your situation. These facilities include help with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing and medication management. All services at Assisted Transition are provided at no cost. A meeting is scheduled between Michelle or Mark and the senior and their family, either at the Assisted Transition office or the person’s home. “We assess their situation and match their needs and wants with what is available in the community,” says Michelle. “Factors may include price, geographic location, services available, environment of the facility, and much more. As a registered nurse for 28 years, I am also able
