You Can Count on Granite Granite countertops completely transform rooms and are more affordable than you may think. By Lorrie Ward

The term “flipping” has become popular in the real estate world in the past decade; in fact, there are even several television shows dedicated to the subject. To “flip” a house, a buyer purchases at a low cost a home in need of updating, finds the best and least expensive ways to do the updating and needed repairs, and then sells the home at a profit. Rex Marsh, owner of Harmony Star Marble, reports that he has seen a lot of flipping going on as the economy seems to be making an upward turn. He has often been called on to make kitchens and
baths look like new by installing granite or marble countertops and surrounds, not only for those who are in the real estate market, but for those who just want to give their homes a fresh, new appearance. “Granite especially gives the room a whole new, updated look,” says Rex. “Most new kitchens have granite countertops, and baths have granite counters and showers with cultured marble or manufactured stone.” Harmony Star Marble is Claremore’s only natural granite company.
Rex reports that clients have shifted from granite-looking products to actual granite because the cost of true granite has gone down significantly in recent years and is no more expensive than its manmade counterpart. Granite is one of the hardest, most durable surfaces on the earth, and its reputation has grown as people have looked past the rumors of high upkeep, which Rex points out couldn’t be further from the truth. “People used to believe that true granite is hard to clean,” (continued on page 24)

FFostering Hope Choices for Life will show appreciation to its foster parents with a dinner banquet on May 9 at First Baptist Church to celebrate National Foster Care Month. By Sheryl Sowell Foster parents are truly special individuals. They take in children from abusive or neglectful situations who require therapy for medical or psychological conditions, and they stick with these kids to provide them the love and care that many have never known. Foster parents with Choices for Life Foster Care in Sapulpa give of themselves 24 hours a day, seven days a week. But on Thursday, May 9, they will be on the receiving end of a special appreciation banquet. As part of National Foster Care Month in May, Choices for Life will honor all of its foster parents. The dinner will be held at First Baptist Church in Sapulpa and gives the foster parents an opportunity to get all dolled up and enjoy a night out for themselves while Choices for Life therapists watch the kids. The appreciation dinner not only recognizes the generosity and commitment of foster parents, but also raises awareness about the need for more families who are willing to open their homes and hearts to these children.
Raising children is hard enough, but therapeutic needs create a whole new dynamic. Unlike traditional foster care, Choices for Life focuses on
children with a higher level of emotional and behavioral needs. Not everyone can provide the patience, love, strength and open mind that are needed, but many
BIXBY, GLENPOOL, JENKS, SAPULPA
individuals and families feel a real calling. According to Maria Carter of Choices for Life, they are currently in desperate need of foster parents to care for local children. The process of becoming a foster parent includes 13 weeks of free training, in which treatment families learn to create opportunities for their foster child to heal and grow. The goal typically is for the child to return to his or her biological family, with the interpersonal and behavioral skills to become a positive and accomplished adult. Each child is carefully
Page 5
evaluated and matched with a strong and stable foster family that will integrate that child not only into their family, but also into their community, school and church. It takes a unique person or family to open their hearts to these children. Those who were up to the challenge say it is one of the most thrilling and rewarding experiences in their lives, as they watch a troubled child blossom into a loving and responsible individual. All children — including the 408,000 American children and youth in foster care — deserve a safe, happy life. Young people in foster care especially need nurturing adults on their side because their own families are in crisis and unable to care for them. Choices for Life is a national agency with offices in Georgia, Oklahoma City, Checotah, Ponca City and Sapulpa. A new foster care class begins soon. For more information on how to make a lifelong difference in a young person’s life, call (918) 248-4340 Monday through Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m.

LLiving Longer, Living Stronger A free workshop series hosted by Creek County Literacy Program focuses on managing chronic health conditions. By Sheryl Sowell Thousands of Oklahomans live with chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, cancer, stroke, arthritis, and pain. Understanding how to self-manage these conditions can mean the difference between
Sapulpa Library Annex, once a week for six weeks. Signups are still available after the first week of the workshop. “The program helps participants build skills and strategies,” explains Melissa Muncy, executive director of the
daily struggles and living healthier, more comfortable lives. Area residents are invited to learn to manage their chronic health issues through a free workshop series. Participants will meet at Creek County Literacy Program, 15 N. Poplar St. in the
Technology Coordinator Calvin Barnett, Executive Director Melissa Muncy, and Administrative Assistant Deb Marshall welcome you to the Creek County Literacy Program’s free workshop series on how to manage chronic health issues.
Creek County Literacy Program. “Workshop topics include goal setting, exercise, nutrition, relaxation techniques, and more. And the small class sizes will promote mutual support and interaction.” The “Living Longer, Living Stronger, Living with Chronic Conditions” program was developed by a doctor at Stanford University, and is being presented across the country. Workshop presenters at the Creek County classes will be trained facilitators from Oklahoma who are themselves living with and managing chronic conditions. The program is not for health professionals, Muncy stresses. “It’s for everyday people who struggle with their chronic illnesses, and for those who support family members or loved ones with chronic conditions.” Individuals who have attended the workshop report significant and measureable improvements in their health and quality of life. Reported results include improvements in fatigue, shortness of breath, pain, and depression. The Creek County workshop series will be held
Wednesdays through June 5, from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the Creek County Literacy Program, 15 N. Poplar St., in the Library Annex. Space is limited. To register, call (918) 224-9647. The Creek County workshop is a health literacy outreach project of Creek County Literacy Program, the Oklahoma Department of Libraries, and the Oklahoma State Department of Health. It is funded by a federal grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. To learn more about the Stanford University SelfManagement workshops visit www.restartliving.org, or call David Lee at the state health department, (405) 420-2690.

RRoute 66 Salsa Festival Competitors will vie for the best salsa in four categories on Saturday, June 1, in conjunction with the Route 66 Blowout in downtown Sapulpa.
By Jon LaFevers On Saturday, June 1, the Sapulpa Rotary Club will hold its 6th annual Route 66 Salsa Festival from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Courthouse Plaza parking lot (222 E. Dewey). This is a great chance for you to try a host of fresh, homemade salsas and support the Sapulpa Rotary Club. “This competition adds a spicy flair to an already-great tradition for Sapulpa,” says Rotarian Debbie Moss, co-chair of the festival. “Each year, the Salsa Festival has more
participants and more unique salsas to taste test, and our Rotary members are proud to continue this new tradition in Sapulpa.” If you’ve got a fantastic salsa recipe of your own, whether red or green, that you’d like to enter, the Rotary Club is accepting contest entries through May 15, 2013. (After May 15, please call for availability as they are only accepting a limited amount of entries.) The cost to enter is $25. Prizes for salsas will be

Winners in the Mild, Medium, and Hot categories will each receive $200 cash; the winner of the People’s Choice will receive $500 cash. Samples will be available at each competitor’s booth for a small fee – try as many as you like, then vote for your favorite. This year during the festival the Rotary Club will also be drawing the winner to their “Grocery Raffle.” The winner will receive a $1,000 gift card to Reasor’s. Tickets for the raffle are $10. For information on purchasing a ticket, contact Jon LaFevers at (918) 224-4800. Proceeds from the Salsa Festival will benefit the Sapulpa Rotary Club, which helps to fund scholarships, international projects, and local projects in the Sapulpa area. These local projects have included providing third grade students with their own dictionaries. The Sapulpa Rotary Club has also adopted Liberty Elementary School, which has included providing library books and sponsoring teacher appreciation luncheons. “The Salsa Festival has been

REMOVE CHLORAMINE FROM YOUR WATER
Chloramine Facts:
These statements can be found on the EPA website: http://water.epa.gov/lawsregs/rulesregs/sdwa/mdbp/ chloramines_index.cfm 1) Health Concerns- UNregulated disinfectant byproducts (such as nitrosamines—including nitrosodimethylamine, NDMA, iodotrihalomethanes, and iodo-acids): have been known to form from monochloramine. These UNregulated DBPs are found to be genotoxic (DNA damaging), cytotoxic (cell damaging), and carcinogenic (cancer causing) 2) Difficult to Remove from Water- Monochloramine can be more difficult to remove from drinking water that chlorine. Boiling water, allowing water to sit at room temperature, and/or reverse osmosis filters do not remove monochloramine from drinking water. 3) Environmental Hazard- Chloramines are toxic to fish and amphibians at levels used for drinking water. (In McLean VA, a main break resulted in killing all aquatic life in 9 miles of Pimmit Run.) 4) Leaches Lead in Pipes- The addition of monochloramine can make water more corrosive, which may lead to pipe corrosion and increased levels of lead or other contaminants in the water. (In 2010, the CDC reported that 15,000 homes in Washington, D.C. area might still have water supplies with dangerous levels of lead.) 5) Insufficient Research- The EPA admits that it has no respiratory, digestive, skin or epidemiological studies on the human health effects of chloraminated water.
Ammonia is being added to our drinking water! As of July 2012, the Tulsa Metropolitan Utility Authority has decided to add ammonia to all our water that we drink, cook, shower and water our gardens with. Ammonia mixes with chlorine to produce Chloramine, a water disinfectant with toxic byproducts that has been shown to cause damage to a personʼs health and property, as well as the environment.

SSay Goodbye to Unwanted Hair Emerge Medical Day Spa will offer a free informational class on laser hair removal on Thursday, May 23. By Sheryl Sowell Most people will agree – shaving or waxing unwanted body hair is frustrating, time-consuming, and a big hassle. And no one wants razor burn or stubble! For those who are considering trying something different to deal with this hairy issue, Emerge Medical Day Spa will host a free informational class on laser hair removal procedures on Thursday, May 23 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. The class will cover everything you need to know about laser hair removal, including the risks and benefits, Emerge’s
competitive pricing and package deals, eligible skin types and more. The class will be led by Kelley Tompkins, Taryn Schell and Belinda Stewart and will feature demonstrations, before and after photos, a question and answer session, and treatment giveaways and discounts. Refreshments will be served. Register for your spot online at www.emergemedicaldayspa.com or call (918) 392-8606. Emerge Medical Day Spa has spent months rebuilding and redesigning their extensive laser

hair removal department. They use one laser for hair removal, and one laser only – the Candela GentleLASE. Taryn Schell has been performing laser hair removal procedures for the past 11 years. “There is no better laser for hair removal on the market,” she explains. “So many other lasers simply don’t work. With this machine, you do not need several treatments before you see results. Candela’s alexandrite long pulse technology produces unbelievable results.” According to Kelley Tompkins, director of Emerge Medical Day Spa, the two biggest fears people have about laser hair removal are 1) pain and 2) cost. She explains, however, that these worries are unnecessary – it is not a painful procedure, and it is much more affordable than many people realize, particularly if they purchase package deals. “Candela’s cooling device shoots a cold mist onto the skin before the laser, assuring no messy gels,” says Kelley. “And our prices are very competitive.” The Candela GentleLASE treats pigmented hair on all areas of the body, and may be used on most skin types. “The Candela
GentleLASE really targets dark stubble. The three spot sizes allow me to remove hair in delicate areas without damaging the skin, such as for a true Brazilian,” says Taryn. “In addition to permanent hair removal, the Candela laser boosts collagen and smoothes skin.” Permanent laser hair removal generally requires five to ten treatments total. For facial hair, treatments are performed every four to six weeks. Underarm and bikini area treatment cycles are about six weeks apart. For backs, legs and shoulders, treatments are performed every eight weeks. It is important to stay out of the sun and tanning beds two to three weeks before and after treatments. Each treatment lasts from about 15 minutes (such as for lip and chin areas) to about an hour (for larger areas such as the bikini area). “We take the time to pamper our clients, and our services are very personalized. Because our clients return for several treatments, we are able to establish close relationships with them,” says Kelley. One of Emerge’s newest

SStiletto Sprint for Success Dress for Success Tulsa prepares for its annual Stiletto Sprint and 5K Power Walk/Run on May 11 to help local Tulsa women. By Stephanie Reed While Dress for Success Tulsa has watched many of the 1,167 women suited last year alone cross the employment finish line, it is now time to cheer on volunteers, contributors and participants who make the programs possible. On May 11, Dress for Success Tulsa will host the Third Annual 5K Power Walk/Run and 150-Meter Stiletto Sprint in celebration of the women who have graduated from their employment services program. The event is part of a worldwide initiative, with 35 participating cities across the globe. The two races are part of the Dress for Success initiative to support career development and encourage health and wellness initiatives, while raising awareness and funding for Dress for Success Tulsa. Both events are presented locally by Simmons Homes along with many other corporations and businesses throughout the Tulsa community. The race begins and ends at the Blue Rose Café on Riverside. The Stiletto Sprint, for men and women, promises big laughs for
those willing to compete in the 150-meter dash in a pair of stilettos, with a two-inch heel minimum. After the sprint, families and runners will gear up for the 5K Power Walk/Run. Don’t fancy yourself a runner? Feel free to come for the entertainment as Tulsans make their way across the finish line. After the race, stop in at the Blue Rose Café for food, refreshments and more festivities. “We are proud to host an event with an element that is unique to Tulsa and the run community,” says Executive Director Ronda Adkisson. “This event has something for the entire family, and we are committed to providing our clients, patrons, and supporters a fabulous day of fun and fitness at our beautiful River Parks.” Dress for Success Tulsa offers so much more than the name suggests; truly, the organization goes beyond the suit with two programs, The Going Places Network by Walmart and The Professional Women’s Group (PWG). Dress for Success Tulsa accepts women from over 125 community
partner agencies including but not limited to government agencies, homeless shelters, educational institutions, correctional facilities and domestic violence shelters. The Going Places Network is an eight-week program that strives to prepare unemployed and under-employed women to find and secure gainful employment. Dress for Success Tulsa helps build resumes, develops job skills, hosts mock interviews and of course dresses its participants for the job. At the end of each program, the women are honored in a graduation ceremony with their fellow peers. Once the participants secure employment, they are then eligible for the Professional Women’s Group. This group focuses predominately on job retention. They meet once a month with dinner and childcare provided to offer one another support and listen to keynote speakers, who share their expertise in areas from Career Advancement to Health and Wellness to Work/Life Balance. “Some of these ladies have no idea what size of clothing

PPrepare Thyself for Merriment The Castle of Muskogee’s annual Oklahoma Renaissance Festival runs May 4 through June 2. By Sheryl Sowell Travel to 1539 Castleton for the Castle of Muskogee’s Oklahoma Renaissance Festival. King Henry VIII and his sister, Queen Margaret of Scotland, are on progress through the fair land, and this year, they are joined by King Francis of France and King James of Scotland. There is sure to be mirth, merriment, and mischief throughout the Village. More than 600 costumed merchants, artisans, and performers populate Castleton, transporting visitors to the 16th century. Music, comedy, swordplay, and magic can be found on 15 stages throughout the grounds. They welcome several new performers to the stages this year, including Bawdily Harm (comedic swordplay), Black Oak Shillelagh (Celtic music), and Ed “Cheeks” Miller (sea shanties and more). Returning favorites include The Musical Blades, The Jolly Rogers, Karma Dogma, Ez N Dil, The Jester Rejects, Raks al Hassana Bellydance, the Laundry Lasses, and many more. Sir Thomas and Sir Richard of The Heroic Knights of Old joust twice each day in the Tournament Arena, The Royal Gauntlet Birds of Prey showcases the grandeur of hawks and
falcons, and Cast in Bronze fills the arena with the awesome sound of the Carillon bells. The Royal Luncheon is served each day by the arena, where you can dine with His Majesty while watching the tournament below. Inside the Castle Keep you can witness presentations to the Royal Court or attend the Queen’s Tea. Enjoy the 37,000square-foot Castle with its dungeon, Torture Chamber, catacombs, and so much more. While most of the festival is strictly family entertainment,
adults can sneak away to attend the King’s Smoker (21 and over) each afternoon for some bawdy humor. Children and families will delight in the newly expanded Woodlands area. Visit Excalibur Keepe to sign good behavior contracts; learn to make marbles, paper, and chain mail; play games; hunt for pirate treasure; and explore the Enchanted Faery Forest. Dance around the Maypole or visit the Black House or the Garrison to learn all about life in Renaissance England.

BA Med Spa & Weight Loss Center will donate crops from its new community garden to Arms Around BA and Broken Arrow Neighbors, two non-profit organizations that help disadvantaged residents.
By Sheryl Sowell
Since opening BA Med Spa & Weight Loss Center in 2010, founders Malissa Spacek and Dr. James Campbell have wondered what to do with the bare plot of land they own directly adjacent to the building. Malissa, a master gardener who has a true passion for using her green thumb, came up with the idea to use the plot for a community garden, with crops that would be donated to those in need in the community. BA Med Spa & Weight Loss Center is proud to announce that their community garden is now in bloom, and the first set of crops is expected to be shared with Broken Arrow residents by the end of May. All fresh vegetables, fruits and herbs will be donated to Arms Around BA (located directly across from BA Med Spa) and to Broken Arrow Neighbors. People in need who get groceries from food banks typically receive non-perishable items, and the community garden will be an excellent resource to supplement their diets with healthy veggies, fruits
and herbs. A total of 48 items have been planted so far, including potatoes, onions, lettuce, strawberries, carrots, asparagus, Brussels sprouts, turnips, tomatoes and cucumbers. “Essentially if it can grow, we are planting it!” says Malissa. Though the garden had been in Malissa’s mind for quite
some time, the idea did not spring into action until she happened to run into Joe Wilkinson, a talented local landscape architect who hosts fundraisers for churches and other organizations to create food-producing community gardens. From that point on, the idea went full speed ahead.

Malissa’s son, Samm Spacek, is the community garden’s project manager, and volunteers include Britt Radford, Kirby Jarolim, Marwin Kemp, Melody Spacek, James Cole and Meg Sutherland. “This garden is truly a labor of love,” said Meg, who is also the marketing director of BA Med Spa. “Some of the

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.

Fitness on the Green Fowler Toyota of Tulsa is sponsoring free daily fitness classes during the month of May at Guthrie Green.
By Duane Blankenship If you are not familiar with Guthrie Green, here’s a great opportunity to get acquainted. Guthrie Green is an urban garden and performance space in the heart of the Brady Arts District in downtown Tulsa. It provides a unique space for Tulsans to congregate, shop and enjoy downtown’s newest urban park. Fowler Toyota of Tulsa has
partnered with the Downtown YMCA to offer free fitness classes on Guthrie Green each day, Monday through Saturday, during the month of May. Classes will be geared towards downtown Tulsa’s professionals and their families, and everyone is welcome to attend. Jonathan Fowler, vice president of operations for
Fowler Holding Company/Corporate Headquarters, and Ken Wilkins, general manager of Fowler Toyota of Tulsa, are excited about Fowler’s sponsorship participation of Fitness on the Green. “Fowler has a strong philosophy of giving back to the communities in which we serve,” Jonathan said, “and we love
Jonathan Fowler and Ken Wilkins, representing Fowler Toyota of Tulsa, have spearheaded Fitness on the Green in partnership with the Downtown Tulsa YMCA.
being involved in the arts, culture, health and fitness.” Ken added, “These are the areas in which we want to maintain the focus of Fowler Toyota of Tulsa as we continue serving our community.” When Fowler and Wilkins first met with project cosponsors, they immediately realized that Fowler had the desire and resources to sponsor Fitness on the Green for the entire month of May. You may not choose to attend each daily class, but you certainly have that option to broaden your exercise experience. A variety of fitness and health-geared events will be conducted by professional area fitness instructors, and each class will be held for one hour. Although the Monday through Friday classes are mostly for adults, there will be a class called “Mommy & Me” each Saturday of the month for moms and their children. This class will be held from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. Gift items will be distributed to participants every day, and you may learn more about Fitness on the Green by visiting the website, www.guthriegreen.com/ fitness-green. Boot Camp will be offered twice each week, Tuesday and Thursday at 5:30 p.m. It is a one-hour class that provides a complete total body workout to help you get in shape or challenge your body to reach its fullest potential. You will experience intervals of power walking or jogging and spurts of cardio endurance, athletic drills, kickboxing and strength training.
Page 15
With the incorporation of high and low intensity intervals of exercise, your body is able to maximize its caloric burn as it enters the fat-burning zone. Other classes will include Tai Chi, Family Yoga, Fitness Walking, and Mommy & Me each Saturday morning. The Family Yoga class is held each Wednesday morning at 10:30 a.m. and a special Yoga class will be presented by lululemon each Wednesday at 6 p.m. The Friday Fitness Walking class will take a different route each week to expose participants to the history of downtown Tulsa. They will experience a synergism through the group class environment and will, hopefully, find ongoing support, motivation and inspiration to continue their walking experience for health and weight loss. Beginners and experienced walkers will feel comfortable during the workout and will enjoy the historic sites of downtown Tulsa. Fowler Toyota of Tulsa is proud to be a sponsor of Fitness on the Green. In doing so, they are providing an incredible opportunity for you and your family, whatever your fitness level. Be sure to watch for other Fowler sponsored events throughout the year.

Outdoor Soccer Returns to Tulsa The Tulsa Athletics’ first game will be at the original Driller’s Stadium at 15th and Yale on Saturday, May 18.
By Sheryl Sowell On July 13, 1985, the Tulsa Roughnecks of the North American Soccer League played their final match at the original Driller’s Stadium at 15th and Yale. On May 18, 2013, the Tulsa Athletics will take that same field as outdoor soccer finally makes its return to Tulsa. When the NASL and the Tulsa Roughnecks ceased to be,
several players stayed in the Tulsa area, remaining active in the soccer community which they had helped create. Their bond with the community is still evident today as thousands of athletes have played under their tutelage. Tulsa is revered across the country as a soccer city, with our youth clubs being some of the
most talented and competitive. However, there has been a gap at the top adult level since 1985. This summer, the journey back to the top of the soccer map begins. “When support meets ambition, only success can follow in soccer,” said team co-owner Sonny Dalesandro. Tulsans have an unrivaled passion for the game of soccer,
Coach Joey Ryan, Dr. Tommy Kern, Sonny Dalesandro and Jake Dobkins of the Tulsa Athletics organization.

www.ValueNews.com so much so that several attempts have been made to bring a Major League Soccer franchise to our city. This is the Tulsa Athletics’ goal as well, one step at a time. Rekindling the love that Tulsa has for the game at its highest level is the first priority. Four of the newer, yet most successful clubs in MLS are teams that played in lower divisions, and because of incredible fan support made the jump to the MLS. This is the Tulsa Athletics’ ultimate goal. This summer will be Tulsa Athletics’ inaugural season in the National Premiere Soccer League, the largest league in the United States, with 61 teams competing across the country. It is the perfect league for a new ambitious franchise to start its journey towards returning Tulsa to the forefront of the soccer map in America. Co-owner Sonny Dalesandro was the youngest Oklahoman to play professionally when he debuted for Tulsa’s USISL franchise in 1995. Dalesandro won “Rookie of the Year” that season and went on to have a six-year career, playing for the Milwaukee Wave and the Wichita Wings. “Some of my very earliest memories are of Skelly Stadium and the Tulsa Roughnecks, and today’s youth deserve that same impression that I was afforded.” Dr. Tommy Kern, co-owner of the Tulsa Athletics and a sports medicine physician for Eastern Oklahoma Orthopedic Center, grew up playing soccer in Tulsa and went on to play at
Brown University prior to medical school at the University of Oklahoma. “We are excited to bring high-level soccer back to Tulsa to match the quality of the youth programs.” Joey Ryan, head coach of the Tulsa Athletics, has been coaching since the mid-80s after having played professionally in the American Soccer League, the NASL, and indoor in the MISL. Ryan was also an NCAA division 1 champion with the legendary, undefeated Hartwick College team of 1977. Ryan has coached at the youth, high school, semi-pro and professional level in New York, New Jersey and Oklahoma. “My staff and I are extremely excited to be a part of the resurrection of both outdoor soccer in Tulsa and the old Drillers Stadium at Expo Square and look forward to many entertaining, successful games being played there. The owners have done a fantastic job of putting this project together, and we hope to work as hard and represent Tulsa on the field as well as they have in putting this franchise together.” Bring the whole family out for the Tulsa Athletics’ first game on Saturday, May 18. Tickets are available at www.tulsa-athletics.com; reserved seating is $10 and general admission is $5. Follow them on Facebook and Twitter at Ttownsoccer. For more information, contact

GGet Hip to Dr. LaButti Patient Kathy Hill is pain-free after her successful hip replacement. By Joshua Danker-Dake In 2012, Kathy Hill, of Tulsa, had her right hip replaced by Dr. Ronald LaButti. “I’d had my left hip replaced in 2003,” Kathy says. “I dealt with the pain and discomfort in my right hip for about two years, until the symptoms were as bad as they’d been in my other hip. It hurt so badly that I didn’t want to go anywhere or do anything.” By this point, Kathy’s hip was bone-on-bone. “I couldn’t even get my shoe on or get in or out of my car without excruciating pain,” she says. “I was having trouble working every day because of the pain medicine I’d been taking, and I had stomach problems and heartburn all the time.” Her primary care physician recommended she see Dr. LaButti. “He took me seriously and he listened to me, which I really appreciated,” says Kathy. “And he didn’t make me wait for surgery – he scheduled me right away for a total hip replacement.” Dr. LaButti helped Kathy through a recovery that was initially very difficult, she says.
“My recovery was slow and very painful for the first couple of weeks. I was on a walker for six weeks and couldn’t put all my weight on my right foot. I did therapy at home for the first six weeks, I was back at work fulltime after eight weeks, and I did an additional four weeks of therapy once I was back to work. Dr. LaButti told me, step-by-step, what to expect – I did everything he told me to, and everything went just as he said. And his nurse was awesome – I could call and explain whatever was going on, and she would get right back with me.” Kathy says she was impressed with her experience with Dr. LaButti and his office at every stage. “Everyone at his office was very professional and considerate – they knew I was in a lot of pain and needed to be seen as soon as possible, and I never had to wait long at all for my appointments. After the surgery, Dr. LaButti checked on me every morning and addressed all my concerns. And when I got to my room, his office had already sent flowers, which was
really thoughtful.” Kathy recommends Dr. LaButti. “He took care of my pain. I don’t take any pain medicine now, and I don’t walk with any kind of a limp. I can put my shoes on now and get in and out of my car with no problem, and people who don’t know me would never know I’ve had a hip replacement, much less both hips replaced.” Kathy works for the Tulsa County Election Board. She enjoys spending time with her grandchildren, working in the yard, and enjoying nature and the woods.

Orleans. Children will love the fun crawfish races, craw-fishing, and New Orleans Mardi Gras bead art. A portion of the proceeds from CrawFest will benefit the son of one of Hebert’s employees. Nathan Johns is a young husband and father who had the misfortune of getting West Nile Fever in June of 2012. Nathan remains hospitalized and is facing months of respiratory and physical rehabilitation. Proceeds from CrawFest will also go to Planted Ministries, Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping the poorest children and families in Nicaragua through their education program. Cajun Ed’s Hebert’s Specialty Meats, offering delectable fresh-cut meats and poultry, is open Monday through Saturday, with lunch and dinner served each day. Owner Ed “Cajun Ed” Richard explains what makes their authentic Cajun food so special: many of the ingredients and seasonings come from Louisiana, and the meat is fresh – the best of the best. “The timely combination of cooking and seasonings creates the authentic Cajun flavor,
which was previously found only in south Louisiana,” says Cajun Ed. These wonderful seasonings are all available in the largest Cajun retail space in Tulsa. To top off your meal, choose from a variety of made-from-scratch desserts – bread pudding, bourbon pecan pie, key lime pie, chocolate ganache peanut butter pie, traditional and chocolate pralines, and carrot cake. Cajun Ed’s Hebert’s Specialty Meats is located at 2101 E. 71st St. in Tulsa, on 71st Street just west of Lewis in the big red house. Cajun Ed is a Louisiana native who knows how to combine delicious food with fun and entertainment to throw an amazing party, so don’t miss CrawFest 2013! For more information, visit www.cajuned.com.

Sugar and Spice and Everything Sassy someplace else,” Kelly states. “We cater to the individual, and we want the individual’s style to shine.” After a year in their new location, Twisted Soul Sisters has expanded its store and merchandise lines. While people come from far and wide for the custom stamping and repurposing of vintage jewelry into custom pieces, the two friends have also picked up clothing and jewelry brands that are unique to the Tulsa area. Others Will Follow, Black Swan, Dear John, Beaucoup, and Waxing Poetic are a few of the feminine new lines for sale. “Our first shipment of Dear John denim sold out immediately. The fit is so great that we literally had people waiting for our new shipment to
come in,” Kelly says. Twisted Soul Sisters has also recently added Park Hill candles that feature scents like Sweet Tea and Warm Cornbread, and the entire spectrum of Plaster Paint, an all-purpose, no sanding, no scraping paint line. Nerium, a new plant-based anti-aging face cream, is also available. In addition to the new favorites, the old friends remain. Lines like Lenny and Eva, Babyfoot, Old Gringos, and Corral boots also grace Twisted Soul Sisters’ shelves. “Our boutique was built with a lot of blood, sweat, and tears,” says Kelly. “We don’t want it to be about the purchase that a customer makes. We want it to be about the experience that a customer has while here.” It is this philosophy that has led to

For many youngsters, this will be their first opportunity to see real chrome bumpers, wide white wall tires and fender skirts. The Salsa Fest, sponsored by the Sapulpa Rotary Club, is a crowd favorite. For a small fee, participants may taste a variety of homemade salsas and cast their vote for their favorite. As many as 25,000 spectators are expected to stroll around the 12-block area along Dewey Street also known as Main Street or Route 66.

You Can Count on Granite continued from page 1 says Rex. “But it’s truly easy – wash down with warm soap and water, rinse with clear water, and you’re done.” Along with granite in kitchens, Rex has been installing many Blanco Siligranit sinks, also easy to clean. Blanco Siligranit sinks are made of a material consisting of 80 percent natural granite stone, which has been chemically polymerized with resin, creating a naturally hard, non-porous material that is resistant to chipping, scratching and staining, and is highly heat-resistant (up to 536 °F) – all of which make the Blanco Siligranit sink a perfect companion to a granite countertop. “We perform a lot of ‘turnkey’ operations,” says Rex, who explains that ‘turnkey’ means that he takes care of all the details surrounding the countertop installation and arranges for any plumber or electrician, if needed. “This way the client doesn’t have to worry about these things,” says Rex, who points out that being in business in this area for 30 years has enabled him to have good
relationships with quality contractors. Rex reports that most kitchen and bath jobs can be completed in one to two days. With granite and marble, style does not have to be sacrificed for durability, and Harmony Star Marble offers a huge selection of color choices to fit any décor. “If we don’t have something on our lot here, we have warehouses in Tulsa and Broken Arrow,” says Rex. So if you are ready to give your home a fresh new look at an affordable price, visit the Harmony Star Marble showroom or call for your consultation and estimate today.

AArt Bike Tulsa
An exciting and unique art show is scheduled throughout the month of May to promote MS awareness and Bike MS 2013.
By Duane Blankenship Each year the National MS Society Oklahoma hosts a variety of special fundraising events for the purpose of raising awareness about multiple sclerosis. Funds raised help support programs and services available to Oklahomans with this disease. Programs provide knowledge, recreation, family and social support, and awareness throughout the greater Tulsa community. The annual signature event of the National MS Society is Bike MS, and 2013 marks its 28th anniversary in Oklahoma. Bike MS is not “just a bike ride,” but an experience for all who participate in the event. It is one of the best supported cycling events in our state. The two-day Bike MS 2013 will commence September 21 from the Agri Civic Center in Chandler and finish there the next day. Nearly 1,000 riders will join forces to raise money. Although Bike MS is a challenging event, riders return year after year, supporting the movement to create a world free of MS. A unique awareness campaign began three years ago in Tulsa to inform residents about the disease, local fundraising efforts, and the
annual Bike MS. This year will mark the third annual Art Bike Tulsa, which coincides with Tulsa International Mayfest in downtown Tulsa. Art Bike Tulsa will run May 1-31 at the YMCA of Greater Tulsa located at 418 S. Main. The event will be open to the public Monday through Friday from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. throughout the entire month of May. Art Bike Tulsa will also be on display at Tulsa International Airport from June 1 through September 30. The presenting sponsor is SCFM Compression Systems. Art Bike Tulsa is an exciting, unusual, fun display of art made entirely of old bicycle parts. The unique explosion of creativeness is one that your entire family will enjoy. This year’s exhibit will include works of art from successful local artists and student artists from Union, Broken Arrow, and Booker T. Washington High Schools. Some of the featured Tulsa artists include Michael Christopher, Robin Green Tilly, Billie Sue Thompson and Jan McKay. Jan has been an MS volunteer for 23 years and has participated in Bike MS for 20 years. “I ride in honor
of my good friend, Rhonda Fletcher, who was diagnosed with MS 23 years ago.” Jan loves riding for the cause and has been blessed with meeting many great people along Bike MS routes. “I wish no one had to endure MS,” says Jan. “I feel good aiding in fundraising efforts to assist others.” Rhonda Fletcher volunteers at the MS Society office once or twice a week. “I am appreciative of the riders who endure Bike MS each year for me and others who have been diagnosed with MS,” she said. When first diagnosed, Rhonda went into denial. “My good friend Jan literally bugged me for years to get involved with the organization.” When Rhonda finally did, she was impressed by every person she met and was touched that they were doing so much for her and others.

Golf to Help Save Oklahoma Children The Demand Project’s four-player scramble is scheduled for Monday, June 10 at The Patriot Golf Club in Owasso.
By Duane Blankenship The Demand Project was founded by Jason and Kristin Weis. The organization directs efforts, resources and energy toward the eradication of sexual exploitation, with an emphasis on the exploitation of children. Whether it is victims of trafficking, forced prostitution, online enticement or child pornography, TDP’s mission is to end all sex crimes by targeting the demand side of sexual exploitation. “We want to stop sexual exploitation of boys, girls, and adult females,” said Kristin, “and we want to put an end to rape and forced prostitution.” TDP helps accomplish its mission through awareness projects, including education initiatives for parents, children, and communities; community action, including operating a Victim Tip Line and promoting legislation that strengthens current laws regarding sexual exploitation; and prevention measures, including Cyber Teams that research and document predator profiles and Community Survey Teams that collect predator network data. Here are some alarming facts to ponder. The United States Justice Department has estimated that close to 300,000 American youth are currently at
risk for becoming victims of commercial sexual exploitation. Two-thirds of the sex offenders in state prisons committed offenses against children, and more than 747,000 registered sex offenders are in the United States today. In Oklahoma, at any given time of any day, there are 1,500 to 2,000 people downloading and trading child pornography on their computers. It is estimated that 55 percent of those arrested in Oklahoma for child porn are “hands on” offenders. Each year, more children in America are victims of sexual exploitation than there are people dying from car accidents and illegal drugs combined. Yes, it is happening right here in northeastern Oklahoma, in the Tulsa area, in our neighborhoods. Child pornography is one of the fastest growing crimes in the country according to the FBI, and an average serial child molester may have as many as 400 victims in his lifetime. The Demand Project is funding Law Enforcement Task Forces that target sexual exploitation networks, and they are working with the Oklahoma Bureau of Investigation (OSBI), Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Human Trafficking (OBN),

enforcement agencies going after child predators across Oklahoma communities,” said Jason. Both Kristin and Jason are available to speak and teach about the dangers of pimps, traffickers and predators. The Demand Project Golf Tournament is a fundraising event that will use proceeds to fund the Oklahoma Internet Crimes Against Children Task
President Jason Weis and Executive Director Kristin Weis, founders, represent The Demand Project, an organization working toward the eradication of sexual exploitation of children. and Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) to stop child porn and online enticement. “We are establishing strategic working relationships with very specific law enforcement and that puts us in a unique position to direct funding to specific law

awe-inspiring. Team entry (four-member) is $1,000. Individual entry is $250. Registration, silent auction and lunch will begin at 11:30 a.m. with tee off scheduled for 1 p.m. The awards ceremony will commence at 6 p.m. The tournament features multiple sponsor packages ranging from $250 to $2,500. They include Platinum and Gold Packages, Hole-in-One, Closest-to-the-Pin, Longest Drive, Executive Hole, and Hole Sponsors. If you or your company or organization is interested in becoming a sponsor, please contact Jason. Each golf ticket will include lunch, 18 holes of golf with cart, a practice facility, snacks and beverages, a player gift package, and attendance to the awards ceremony. There will also be a hole-in-one prize that includes a 2013 Cadillac ATS Sedan with two-year lease, a set of new golf clubs, a golf vacation, and a Carnival cruise. The awards ceremony will feature two guest speakers, ICAC Director Steve Tanner and OBN Director Darrell Weaver. The Demand Project recognizes and gives special thanks to major sponsors: The Vintage Pearl, Don Thornton Cadillac, ImageNet Consulting, Hertz, and Dino’s Tire & Wheel.

Richest Noodling Showdown Comes to Claremore The Battle of the Big Cats noodling competition takes place June 13-15, 2013.
By Tanya Andrews Claremore is known for its many Oklahoma legends. Legends like Will Rogers, Patti Page, Lynn Riggs and “Oklahoma!”, Andy Payne, Stuart Roosa, and J.M. Davis all bring fame to Claremore and visitors from around the world. Cowboys, Grammy Award winners, astronauts, and gun collectors, now champion noodler? Kaleb Summers, Claremore native, and team STOadventures, won the 2012 OKIE Noodling Tournament in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma. He has worn many hats in his young life, including graduate of Oklahoma State University, boxer, steer wrestler, hunting and fishing guide, and part of the blasting team in his family’s construction business, so adding noodler to his resume comes naturally. Possibly a like-character to Will Rogers, only his tricks are with flathead catfish and not with ropes, Kaleb’s home is the outdoors of northeastern Oklahoma. His noodling experience started in southeast Oklahoma when a friend took him fishing and he soon learned how to decipher between fish holes and beaver holes, while studying the tricks to find the flatheads. Wikipedia defines noodling as fishing for catfish using only
bare hands, practiced primarily in the southern United States. A noodler places his hand inside a discovered catfish hole. Other sources, such as urbandictionary.com, describe it as a crazy person using their fingers as bait to catch a catfish. Kaleb is not “crazy” but is an avid hunter and fisherman whose life has revolved around the preservation of a fading lifestyle that once used to be the norm. “To release a trophy fish reveals a rather strong kind of character, for as sportsmen, we sometimes owe it to our quarry to live to fight another day. After all, the true thrill lies solely in the fight underwater,” says Kaleb. It was a big fight in June of 2012 when Kaleb and his team fought a flathead weighing over 70 pounds (70.46 to be exact) and won the tournament. Their winning fish was the largest on record for the 14-year event. Kaleb and STOadventures, along with Visit Claremore, Claremore Expo Center, NABATAK OUTDOORS, K95 and Fox 23, Summers Drilling & Blasting, Value News, Osage Casino, GRDA, Melton’s Sales, Pixley Lumber Company, Warren Cat, Reasors, Wild Country Meats, and BancFirst will host the
“Battle of the Big Cats…Route 66’s Richest Noodling Showdown” coming June 13-15. A total of $10,000 in cash in prizes will be awarded, with $5,000 going to the contestant/team with the “BIG” fish. Contestants must be entered by Wednesday, June 12 at noon. They can then check-in to start scouting and fishing at 6 p.m. on Thursday, June 13 and go until weigh-in on Saturday at 6 p.m. Contestants must be in the weigh-in line at the Claremore Expo Center by 6 p.m. and report to event staff, or be disqualified. Entry fees are $50 per person and are available online at www.stoadventures.net, www.visitclaremore.org, or in person at NABATAK OUTDOORS or the Claremore Expo Center. Contestants can fish any lake, such as Grand Lake or Hudson, or any river they wish to. Winners will be announced at 6:30 p.m. and entertainment will continue afterward for the crowds to enjoy. The public is invited to come out to the Expo on Friday and enjoy a fish fry, live entertainment, and a variety of vendors at the Claremore Expo Center. The tradeshow will open at noon and
Champion Noodler Kaleb Summers. the fish fry and entertainment will start around 6 p.m. Throughout Friday and Saturday, Kaleb will show his skills in several noodling exhibitions in a 3,000gallon tank. Spectators and fans will enjoy entertainment provided by A Bar Bunkhouse Band and other performers to be named. Music, tradeshow, exhibitions, and being present for the contestants’ check-ins is all free to the public! “Visit Claremore is elated to work with Kaleb and the various partners to bring this great event to our hometown,” says Tanya Andrews, executive director. “Claremore is proud to have one of our own want to share their experience and bring a competition here. Kaleb sees that
an event of this nature will bring visitors, competitors, and residents from Oklahoma and the region, and he is excited about showcasing his hometown. He is a great ambassador of Claremore and of Oklahoma!” A full event schedule, information, contestant entry forms, and tradeshow vendor registrations are available for the Battle of the Big Cats at www.stoadventures.net or www.visitclaremore.org, or by calling (918) 341-8688.
