Not math numbers — which were out to get me from day one and ran me straight into the arms of grammar and literature — but enneagram numbers.

The enneagram is a personality typing system that assigns individuals one of nine numbers based on their characteristics, including behavior and motivations. The modern enneagram, which has roots in several ancient traditions, dates to the 1960s, but it has recently made a resurgence.

There are a variety of free online tests that will help you determine your enneagram number; just Google it. However, I could have simply read descriptions of the nine types — and stopped after the first — to figure out I’m Type 1.

“The Reformer. The rational, idealistic type: principled, purposeful, self-controlled, perfectionistic.”

At their best, Type 1s “wish to be rational, reasonable, self-disciplined, mature, moderate in all things. … Extremely principled, (they) always want to be fair, objective and ethical: Truth and justice (are) primary values.”

Some notable Type 1s were Confucius, Joan of Arc, Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela.

Sounds great, right? Just wait.

Type 1s also include Osama bin Laden, Dr. Jack Kevorkian and Saturday Night Live’s “The Church Lady.”

Well, isn’t that SPEC-ial?

Skewing toward unhealthy levels, 1s can be “highly critical both of self and others: picky, judgmental, perfectionistic. Very opinionated about everything: correcting people and badgering them to ‘do the right thing’ — as they see it. Impatient, never satisfied with anything unless it is done according to their prescriptions. Moralizing, scolding, abrasive and indignantly angry.”

TulsaPeople DECEMBER 2018

Now, wait a minute. I would never …

Oh, I see what they did there.

What I like most about the enneagram is that it doesn’t just label you and leave you to figure out the rest. It identifies your type’s healthy and unhealthy behaviors and makes recommendations for personal growth. One of mine says, “Learn to relax. Take some time for yourself, without feeling that everything is up to you or that what you do not accomplish will result in chaos and disaster.”

This time of year, I should post that advice on every surface of my home and tattoo it on my body.

If I’m not careful, this Type 1 taskmaster will sprint from one shopping trip and activity to another, all in the name of creating a “memorable Christmas season” for my family. (I might know from experience.)

But in my mad dash and holi-daze, I will have missed the point: slowing down and being fully present with the ones I love.

Sometimes it takes an online test to remind you to pass the test that really matters.

Enneagram, you’ve got my number.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays. TP

UNDER THE SEA

ith approximately 75 species of underwater creatures, the Oklahoma Aquarium’s Polynesian Reef exhibit showcases the wonders that inhabit this area of the southern Pacific Ocean. “It’s a pretty accurate portrayal of the Polynesian Reef,” says Kenny Alexopoulos, the aquarium’s chief operating officer. “These fish act normal in here, like they would in the reef.”

The exhibit, which opened in September, is intended to educate visitors on aquatic life and behaviors among the different fish, as well as to bring more traffic

to the aquarium with newer and improved visual effects and rare fish.

It will eventually feature 500 fish, including the humphead wrasse, an endangered species native to Polynesia and Australia. This $9,000 fish will likely grow to 200 pounds in the exhibit.

“They’re beautiful, and they’re very intelligent,” Alexopoulos says. “They will begin to recognize divers and grow comfortable with them to the point where they will swim right up to them and let the divers touch or pet them.” TP

unveils mascots The park that seems to have everything now has its own characters: a turtle, a blue heron and a squirrel. Park officials say the mascots will become part of the park’s activities, including holiday programming this month.

“Each character will give a unique perspective on the different areas and activities of Gathering Place allowing children and all visitors to explore the park differently on every visit,” says Kirsten Hein, Gathering Place’s vice president of programming.

Blue the Heron focuses on environmental programming and activities in Wetland Gardens and the Adventure Playground; Tulsey the Turtle champions sports programming at the sports courts and BMX and skate parks; the squirrel (to be named, at press time, via a competition among Tulsa youth) shows guests the passion for reading and the arts, including the Reading Tree and dancing with the park’s dance team, the Gather Round Crew.

TULSA ARTIST WINS HOLIDAY CARD CHALLENGE Julie Murray was recently selected as a top designer in the annual holiday card design challenge for Minted, a design community of independent artists around the world. Murray, a largely self-taught graphic designer with a degree in interior design, began entering the holiday design competition in 2015. “I put countless hours into designing holiday cards this season, and was thrilled to have my most successful holiday competition yet,” says the Bixby High School graduate. “I was shocked and proud to receive a Top 10 award and a Top 30 award among such a talented pool of designers.” Her cards can be customized and purchased at minted.com/store/juliemurray.

SCOOTERS DESCEND ON TULSA

Tulsans now have a new option for transportation: electric scooters. Scooter sharing company Lime brought its fleet to Tulsa in October, followed quickly by Bird Rides Inc. Downtown, Brookside, Utica Square and Cherry Street are all quickly becoming scooter hotspots.

The scooters are GPS and 3G-enabled, allowing riders to find, unlock and pick up a nearby vehicle using their smartphone. Rather than dock the scooter at a station, when the ride is finished, riders simply end the ride with the Lime or Bird mobile apps and responsibly park the scooter by the street curb, or at a bike rack.

Both brands cost $1 to unlock, and riders are charged 15 cents per minute of riding.

Riders must have a valid driver’s license and are encouraged to wear a helmet. For more information, visit li.me or bird.co.

Mayor G.T. Bynum and the Mayor’s Office of Resilience and Equity (MORE) are inviting Tulsans to dinner.

As part of its Resilient Tulsa strategy, the City is hosting “equity dinners” intended to encourage constructive, meaningful conversations to bring understanding and unity among Tulsans of differing backgrounds.

Dinners will be at hosted at restaurants throughout Tulsa, and groups of 8-12 will be led by a moderator to discuss topics such as structural racism, interfaith relations, education and economic opportunities in Tulsa.

The initial round of dinners happened in November, and Bynum was among the first group of eight. “It was powerful to hear the life experiences of very different people in one city,” he reported on Facebook. “This is how communities come together: person to person, with honesty and compassion.”

For information about upcoming dinners, visit cityoftulsa.org/resilienttulsa.

Voices of Oklahoma “Mine’s a little different. Mine is a means to an end. I love my family; they come No. 1. I love a normal life. I didn’t associate with many artists. I was more interested in my church, other people. I would have liked to have used a pseudonym, if you really want to know the truth. I’d like to have been Jorge Mallio. How about that, huh? Wouldn’t that have been a kicker?”

PASSIONS

HEALING ARTS Hillcrest program uses art to aid patients’ recovery.

BY BRANDON SCHMITZ

S

ince 2002, Hillcrest Medical Center has been going the extra mile through its Art of Healing program. In conjunction with ahha Tulsa, the program incorporates art-related activities into Hillcrest patients’ health care.

The program is facilitated by artists like Sharon Allred. “After I retired from being a nurse, I knew I wanted to still work with patients and do something with art,” Allred says. “I went through training in New York City to be an artist in residence and when I came back in 2006, I found out Hillcrest had this vibrant program.”

Alongside fellow artists Tami Smith, Tennille Wilson and Margee Aycock, Allred pushes an “art cart” of arts and crafts materials around the hospital. Patients are able to use the supplies for painting, beadwork, braiding, to make cards or to journal/write.

Thousands of hospital employees, patients and volunteers also are working on a collaborative mural that will hang in the main Hillcrest lobby after it is unveiled in early 2019.

“I’ve been involved with the program since the beginning, and the one constant has been a small group of passionate, supportive members that want to keep it going,” says Nat Torkelson, Art of Healing committee leader. “Ahha has been great because it continues to supply us with trained artists, each of them actively enTO DONATE TO gaged with patients and staff.”

TulsaPeople DECEMBER 2018

Twenty-eight-year-old Maddy Martin isn’t afraid of hard work. Passionate, organized and creative, she has all of the skills she needs to take her Tulsa-based business, Cheeky Things cloth diaper service, to the next level. She just needs cash. And as with most young entrepreneurs, finding funds is one of her biggest challenges.

That’s where Kiva, an international microfinance crowdfunding platform, comes in. According to Program Lead Casey Allen, Kiva Tulsa, in partnership with the Lobeck Taylor Family Foundation, has provided more than $300,000 in loans to support over 50 Oklahoma businesses since it arrived in May 2017. Forty-seven percent of those businesses are minority

owned, and 59 percent are women owned.

Most of the funded businesses don’t qualify for traditional loans, and that makes this program a game changer.

For Martin, who found traditional loan options daunting, the $6,000 interestfree loan she received through Kiva Tulsa has enabled her to purchase equipment and supplies, allowing her to expand her business into a reusable hand towel service.

“I would not have been able to start this new service if it weren’t for the Kiva loan,” Martin says. “I wouldn’t have been able to branch out. I wouldn’t be able to do any of the things I’m doing now.”

work is all volunteer.

Aleks Kitchens, ahha Tulsa’s school and community programs manager, says the program has had a profound impact on patients. “I think we sometimes forget how depressing and hopeless a hospital can be, so the stories I hear from the artists and patients are always, ‘Th is is the only beacon of light I had,’ or ‘Th is was the only thing I had to look forward to each week.’

“So bringing that sense of hopefulness and peace into a setting that can be very stressful is Art of Healing’s biggest takeaway.” TP

“I like the culture with the Harley-Davidsons and the Indians. I’m a country boy. That’s probably why I feel like I’m home.”

Gilcrease exhibit showcases work of Cuban exile and other immigrants.

H

anging inside Gilcrease Museum, less than 10 feet from John James Audubon’s renowned painting “The Wild Turkey,” is a painting by Tulsa artist Jose Antonio Pantoja Hernandez called “Exodus.”

Inspired by the millions of migrants fleeing the ongoing Syrian Civil War, the piece is part of the museum’s “Americans All!” exhibit featuring the works of 26 immigrant artists.

Hernandez, 47, was born and raised in Cuba, where he painted on the streets. After a chance encounter in Havana with Tulsa journalist Michael Mason, Hernandez made it his goal to come here.

He eventually sought political asylum in the U.S. and settled in Tulsa.

He says he felt returning to Cuba was too dangerous and after condemning the Castro regime with his series “Errors of the Revolution,” that he would not be allowed to leave the country again due to the political nature of his art.

18

TulsaPeople DECEMBER 2018

“God put me in Tulsa for one reason, and it’s a great honor,” says Hernandez, a full-time artist.

Most of his paintings have political themes that draw on his experiences as a Cuban dissident. “I want to tell people stories about the wrong mistakes of stupid governments or politicians,” he says.

Gilcrease officials say the museum’s goal for the “Americans All!” exhibit is to connect the museum’s collection with modern artists to address contemporary issues like immigration. The exhibit will be ongoing for the next 18 months. Works from Gilcrease’s permanent collection will be periodically rotated into the exhibition, which will feature new Tulsa-area immigrant artists every six months or so.

“I still can’t believe this,” Hernandez says of his work being displayed at Gilcrease. “What am I doing here with all these masters? It makes my skin like a chicken every time I think about it.” TP

enny Alexopoulos holds the titles of chief operating officer and resident “coral artist” at the Oklahoma Aquarium.

Open since Sept. 22, the 65,000gallon Polynesian Reef exhibit took roughly 14 months to construct. Some fish species will destroy real coral or eat it, so Alexopoulos and his team created and assembled faux coral to form a comfortable new home for the exhibit’s fish.

The process to create coral starts with pouring polyurethane into molds taken from real coral skeletons. Before assembling the exhibit, Alexopoulos made a clay model. Once the faux coral was complete, he and his team created the exhibit’s faux rock with concrete, and the faux coral was painted and attached to this rockwork.

An “infinity back” was created for aesthetics by painting the tank blue and then illuminating it with blue submerged lights. Various water pumps create water agitation and current.

“That’s what the fish really enjoy. It’s natural to their habitat,” Alexopoulos explains.

From the schooling orbital batfish to the territorial damsels, visitors can now watch them behave as they would in the true Polynesian Reef.

OU-Tulsa program is focused on improving the lives of children with cancer.

magine being 13 years old, in middle school and being diagnosed with cancer. That’s what happened to Tulsan Ellie Rocco in July 2017.

After treatment at St. Jude Hospital in Memphis for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), Rocco continued chemotherapy at Saint Francis Children’s Hospital. There, Dr. Greg Kirkpatrick, a pediatric oncologist, suggested she enroll in Project ALL-Stars, a group he co-founded with Ken Randall, associate dean for the College of Allied Health at the University of Oklahoma-Tulsa.

Project ALL-Stars’ primary purpose is to help children diagnosed with ALL and their families achieve optimal health and a sense of normalcy through fitness and wellness activities over a twoto three-year period of intensive chemotherapy.

Children who are undergoing treatment for ALL experience weight gain, loss of strength and endurance, and an overall loss of energy and motivation to be active.

20

TulsaPeople DECEMBER 2018

“The survival rate for ALL is between 90 and 95 percent, which is great, but still 5-10 percent short of what we want to see,” Randall says.

If approved by their oncologists, patients can invite their friends to participate weekly in Project ALL-Stars activities: exercises that focus on strength, flexibility, balance and endurance through games, swimming and cooking sessions. The sessions occur at the Tandy YMCA. With best friend Katie Musshafen encouraging her, Rocco has pursued challenging exercises, although both girls say the cooking class was their favorite.

Project ALL-Stars also helped Rocco meet other young people with ALL and has informed her future career. “When I was diagnosed, there were lots of places where my life was affected,” she says. “After meeting some child life specialists, I decided that that was what I really wanted to do with my life.” TP

Or at least since I got here, which was 53 years ago,” says attorney and partner Henry Will of the Tulsa-based law firm’s commitment to philanthropy.

According to attorney Anne Sublett, members of the firm, which celebrated its 85th anniversary this year, have been providing pro bono legal representation to kids in the juvenile court system for 25 years.

Since then, the firm has volunteered through the nonprofit Tulsa Lawyers for Children, advocating for abandoned, abused or neglected minors in Tulsa County when the Public Defender can’t represent those children due to a conflict of interest with the parents or guardians.

It’s challenging, but rewarding work, say those involved.

“I’ve been able to use my legal skills, and all of the things I’ve learned at the firm, to help children and their families.

That’s incredibly powerful in terms of giving meaning to my work,” Sublett says.

“To get to do battle on behalf of children who have oftentimes been abused in the worst possible ways, to be their voice — this is worth my time and effort, and it certainly has added to the richness of my experience as a lawyer.” — JULIE WENGER WATSON

JUSTIN DONALDSON TRANSPORTS PRIVATE DINNER GUESTS WITH HIS ARTISTIC TAKES ON GLOBAL CUISINE.

BY NATALIE MIKLES

36

TulsaPeople DECEMBER 2018

Chef Justin Donaldson’s worldly travels inspire his private dinner menus.

After spending years in restaurant kitchens, Donaldson began a private catering service. Below, a seasonal salad artfully features mushroom soil, artichoke, heirloom carrot, pickled radish, squash, zucchini, beets, roasted mushroom, Brussels sprouts, flowers, potato and carrot gel.

FOR JUSTIN DONALDSON, A WHITE PLATE IS A BLANK SLATE. That plate might start with a savory sorbet made from red beets. It’s loosely nested in ribbons of golden beets and herbs. Then it’s dotted with black caviar. In the end, it’s a beautiful work of art.

Donaldson is known in Tulsa for catering private parties. So those lucky enough to have attended a party with Donaldson in the kitchen know his food is something special.

“From all my past experiences and all my new experiences, I like to push myself,” Donaldson says.

And for him, the artistic sense of his food comes naturally. “It’s almost like common sense to me,” he says. “First it has to taste amazing. Then it has to be visually appealing.”

The appeal he has created comes in part from working in some of the most renowned kitchens in the country, including New York City’s Gilt and Cafe Gray, Tru in Chicago and the Mansion on Turtle Creek in Dallas. Before going out on his own, Donaldson was chef at the Polo Grill. It’s those positions paired with his travels that combine to bring a different culinary perspective and style to Tulsa.

For Donaldson, it’s about more than creating a meal, but a sensory dining experience. That comes in part from the great food he has eaten all over the world.

A recent trip to Bangkok to the restaurant Bo Lan was one such event. “The food, the ambiance, the atmosphere, the whole feel of it was just magical,” Donaldson says. “And places like the French Laundry or Alinea in Chicago, those places give everything. Not just food, not just service. They take you from one reality to another realm.”

Tulsans’ own kitchens become Donaldson’s space for creating those new realities. First, he meets with the client to talk about foods, to get to know them and understand their vision for the party. Then he submits a menu, which, if agreed upon, becomes a tasting menu with wine pairings for the client.

“It’s kind of a different level of catering,” Donaldson says. “When people say ‘catering,’ I’m not the guy who will show up with chafing dishes and chocolate-covered strawberries. That’s not what I do. I do push the envelope a little bit. It’s a little bit avant-garde.”

When Donaldson arrives at a client’s home for the dinner, he brings “the restaurant” with him: That means the pots, pans, flatware, dishware, even the garbage cans.

Dr. Grant Cox has been at several events where Donaldson’s food was served.

“When you are served a Justin Donaldson dish, you automatically think about how cool it looks — then you have to figure out what it is,” Cox says.

“He typically uses traditional flavor combinations,

but they are not visually straightforward, and you have to taste the food to figure it out. I’ve always enjoyed great food, but the visual presentation and the intellectual thought required to unlock the mystery of each of his dishes is really incredible.”

Being a private chef and caterer allows Donaldson the freedom in his schedule to travel and taste cuisines from different cultures.

“Eating food from an elderly lady in a hut in the Philippines, that inspires me,” Donaldson says.

“I’m interested in the soul and the heart of the food.” TP TulsaPeople.com

LEGENDS

Jimmy Markham THE LATE MUSICIAN, SONGWRITER AND ORIGINAL MEMBER OF THE TULSA SOUND

BY GAIL BANZET-ELLIS

J

immy Markham died at age 77, just a few days after I sat with him in his hospital room for this interview. A sweet man and a Tulsa legend, Markham and a group of local musicians are responsible for creating what we know today as the iconic Tulsa Sound: a style of music that blends rock, country, blues, jazz and rockabilly in a way that distinctly reflects decades of the Tulsa music scene.

Markham played in several different bands during high school in the late 1950s and frequently performed alongside fellow Tulsa musicians and friends J.J. Cale, Leon Russell and many others.

His career included stints in Los Angeles and Nashville, but Tulsa was always home base, where he made a name for himself as a music promoter and nightclub owner in the 1970s.

A music mentor to many with his trademark spirited vocals and salty harmonica style, Markham was inducted into the Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame in 2014 and the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame in 2017.

WHERE DID YOU GO TO SCHOOL/UNIVERSITY? WHY? I was born in Pryor and went to my first six years of school in Chouteau. Then, I moved to Tulsa where I went to Wilson Middle School, Horace Mann Junior High and Central High School.

WHAT AGE DO YOU FEEL RIGHT NOW AND WHY? My actual age is 77. I feel like I’m 177.

HOW WOULD YOUR FRIENDS DESCRIBE YOU? I’m ornery, but I hope my friends think of me as a gentle soul.

WHAT WOULD PEOPLE BE SURPRISED TO KNOW ABOUT YOU? I’m an open book at this day and age, and I like talking about music and my life.

IF YOU COULD WITNESS ANY EVENT OF THE PAST, PRESENT OR FUTURE, WHAT WOULD IT BE? It was my night 38

TulsaPeople DECEMBER 2018

with Jimmy Reed. He’s a blues guy (one of the most popular and significant of the postwar era).

That was in the ’60s in Los Angeles in a show and an after-hours jam.

WHAT INSTRUMENTS DO YOU PLAY? I guess it would be harmonica nowadays. I grew up from the sixth grade on playing trumpet. I don’t play it much anymore. I beat around on the guitar.

WHAT WAS A “WORST TIME” AND HOW DID YOU PULL THROUGH IT? I’ve had a number of tough times, but I’m still here. That’s a great song title incidentally.

I’m going to have to use that — tough times.

WHAT’S YOUR DEFINITION OF THE TULSA SOUND? That’s a tough question. My definition is a number of us that grew up together, playing together without saying too much about it. There were probably 15 of us. It was a natural thing, and we just locked into it. By that I mean, we grew the beat, and we could pretty much play with anybody that stepped on stage. Whatever it was, boom, we just played it.

WHAT CONCERNS YOU TODAY? The entire world and what’s happening to our population.

HOW DO YOU MEASURE SUCCESS? By keeping your mouth shut. People measure success sometimes a little too much, maybe. You don’t have to measure success by what you’ve done. It’s there, just look at it.

WHAT IS A FAVORITE TULSA MEMORY? My life-changing event was talking to Elvis Presley at the Tulsa Fairgrounds Pavilion. I was in high school when I met him. That may be the first chapter in my book. I was hooked when I went there to hear him play.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE TYPE OF MUSIC? All of the above.

DESCRIBE A PERFECT WEEKEND IN TULSA OR ELSEWHERE. Writing a hit song wherever it might be.

It might be outside.

WHAT PLACE IN TULSA DO YOU MISS MOST? The Paradise Club, of course. (A nightclub located near East 61st Street and South Lewis Avenue that Markham owned and operated in the 1970s.) It opened in 1972. I ran it and managed it — the whole ball of wax. Everyone that played there was legendary.

WHAT HAVE BEEN THE MOST SIGNIFICANT CHANGES YOU’VE EXPERIENCED IN TULSA? I’ve seen and experienced six decades of change, so it’s hard to pinpoint one for you. I’ve seen a lot of stuff … a lot.

DID YOU HAVE ANY IDEA OF THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE TULSA SOUND WHEN YOU WERE JAMMING WITH YOUR BUDDIES IN HIGH SCHOOL AND AFTERWARD? No, not at all, it’s amazing those things — you just don’t realize it when you’re in the moment.

HOW DOES TULSA STACK UP TO ALL OF THOSE OTHER MUSIC CITIES LIKE NASHVILLE AND LOS ANGELES? You have population differences, but aside from that everybody that’s here is just a hell of a player. They all play extremely well. I don’t know anywhere else where you can go and sit down and listen to some music and see that even the musicians who come in just to jam all play great.

TODAY, THE TULSA SOUND IS STILL SUCH A HUGE INFLUENCE ON ALL KINDS OF MUSIC. DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD TO KNOW IT LIVES ON IN YOUNGER GENERATIONS OF BANDS? Yeah, it sure does, and they’re doing it well, incidentally. They have my approval.

ARE THERE SOME OF THOSE YOUNGER SINGERS OR GENERATIONS OF BANDS THAT YOU’VE HEARD IN TULSA AND THOUGHT THEY MUST HAVE BEEN INSPIRED BY THE ORIGINAL TULSA SOUND? I have my favorites and everybody knows them. Seth Lee Jones, Jesse Aycock, Dustin Pittsley, Wink Burcham. I can go on all night long. I could fill up a whole book. Just keep carrying the torch. TP

PHIL CLARKIN/COURTESY TERESA KNOX

Jimmy Markham was an original contributor to the Tulsa Sound. In July, the community hosted a beneďŹ t concert for Markham, who had experienced some recent setbacks.

Gary Busey, Paul Benjaman and other musicians played on the Cain’s Ballroom stage.

Markham, pictured here at the concert, gave remarks to the gathering of friends and music lovers.

Eden Huff is the first child recipient of services from the Wayman Tisdale Foundation, a local nonprofit that provides eligible individuals with unmet prosthetic needs. At 9 months she was fitted with a passive prosthetic, which her parents, Monique and Merton Huff Jr., say she uses now to gain balance and learn to walk.

A lasting impact THE LEGACY OF THE LATE WAYMAN TISDALE LIVES ON THROUGH INDIVIDUALS LIKE 1-YEAR-OLD EDEN HUFF.

BY MORGAN PHILLIPS

M

erton Huff Jr. is both a pianist and a barber. His hands are his livelihood.

So he was more than devastated when he and his wife, Monique, found out during an ultrasound that their first child, a girl, would be born with no left arm.

They recall their initial disbelief as a tech measured and re-measured the baby’s limbs at 20 weeks gestation. They drove home from the doctor’s office in silence.

As reality sank in, the couple politely smiled through their own gender reveal party thrown by family and friends. “We weren’t ready to tell everyone yet (about the birth defect),” Merton says, “so we had to carry it.”

Over the next several months, the couple shared the news with those closest to them, including members of their church, Metropolitan Baptist, where Merton is the worship leader.

Merton says thinking about his unborn child’s condition initially made him angry. “I was asking God, ‘Why me?’ Everything I do, I do with my hands,” he says. “Everything you can think of, we thought.”

He recalls thinking about his daughter’s future and then attempting himself to do everyday tasks, like taking a shower or tying his shoes, with one hand behind his back.

With the encouragement of family, friends and even strangers through Facebook support groups, the Huffs eventually found strength through prayer and Scripture.

“God never promises us everything is going to go our way,” Merton says, “but we’ve been able to see God in the process.”

A FIRM FOUNDATION

Before their daughter’s birth, a friend at church told the Huffs about the locally based Wayman Tisdale Foundation, which identifies eligible individuals with unmet prosthetic needs and pays for cutting-edge prosthetic care.

The late Tulsan Wayman Tisdale, a Booker T. Washington, University of Oklahoma and professional basketball player and jazz musician, received a prosthetic leg after an amputation due to bone cancer. He created the foundation with his wife, Regina, before his death in 2009 at age 44 from complications of his radiation treatment.

Regina says the Tisdale Foundation started out providing scholarship money to students in Tulsa schools who were athletes and musicians like Wayman. But his amputation experience — and learning that prosthetic limbs can cost between $5,000 and $50,000 — caused him to shift the foundation’s mission.

“We were sitting in the hospital one day, and he said, ‘I want to change the foundation,’” Regina recalls. “I said, ‘What are you talking about?’ He said, ‘I want to give prosthetic devices to Oklahomans in need.’

“It’s just so Wayman,” she says. “It was just his heart to help individuals.”

Over the past eight years, the Tisdale Foundation has funded $47,500 in prosthetics for eight individuals across the state. The Oklahoma Citybased Scott Sabolich Prosthetics and Research, which created a series of prosthetic legs for 6 foot, 9 inch Wayman — some of the tallest it has made — has created most of the devices for the foundation’s grantees.

“Wayman and Regina were fantastic to work with, and they’re very inspiring people,” says prosthetist Scott Sabolich, whose company donated

the time and labor to create grantees’ prosthetics, while the foundation paid for materials.

“Wayman had health insurance and was able to cover a copay and deductible, but he realized that not everyone can do that,” Sabolich says. “Many people don’t even have health insurance.”

For those who receive one, an artificial limb can be life-changing. Regina recounts a single mother of three who went back to school after receiving her prosthesis. A 25-year-old man who lost his leg in a farming accident went back to work and got married after receiving his device.

These heartwarming stories are what keep Regina going. “Our mission is being fulfilled in the sense that these people are able to get on with their lives,” she says.

In April, the Tisdale Foundation helped an individual whose life was just beginning. It granted its first prosthetic for a child, Eden Huff.

BABY STEPS

Eden, whose left arm stops just above her elbow, also was born with hip dysplasia on her left side.

To help correct her hip condition, she was in a harness for her first three months. Eden was only out of the harness for bath time, Merton says. “It was really difficult.”

At 9 months old, the Tisdale Foundation facilitated the fitting of her first prosthetic arm. The immovable device, called a passive prosthetic, is mostly for balance and secures with a strap across her body. If Eden wears it under long sleeves, one can hardly tell the arm isn’t real when she is sitting up.

Since children grow quickly, they require new prosthetics every few years. The foundation will fund one more device for Eden, likely around age 2, Merton says.

At 14 months old, Eden underwent hip surgery to add a metal plate to support her hip socket. As a result, she was in a cast for three months. As she grows, she will have to have other hip surgeries, just as she will have to have new prosthetics.

For now, therapists come to the Huffs’ home once a week for physical therapy, which involves helping Eden stand. She wears her prosthetic arm while standing between a set of parallel bars about 2 feet high. “She can take a few steps, but doctors don’t want us to rush her walking so she can build strength,” Merton says.

Coincidentally, before Eden’s diagnosis, Merton was already familiar with the Tisdale Foundation — as an entertainer. For the past four years, he’d been to hired provide music at its Jazzy Strokes fundraiser golf tournament, held each August.

Now he understands the foundation’s impact at a level few can.

“We’re so thankful for the Tisdales,” Monique adds. “I really don’t know if (Wayman) even thought about the extent to which he would impact people in the future.”

WAYMAN’S LEGACY

Together the Tisdales had three daughters and a son. Only one of their six grandchildren, Bailey, met their Papa.

Regina Tisdale founded the Wayman Tisdale Foundation with her late husband, Wayman Tisdale, inset. Along with addressing and providing prosthetic care to eligible individuals, the foundation recently launched the Wayman’s Way initiative, which promotes positive lifestyles and preventative health care with an emphasis on health and wellness, childhood health education and nutrition awareness.

“Through cancer, through the amputation, he was still the guy I started dating at 16,” Regina says of Wayman, nine years after his death. She is speaking from the community room of the Wayman Tisdale Specialty Health Clinic, 591 E. 36th St N., which opened in 2015. This past June, Chouteau Elementary, also in north Tulsa, was renamed the Wayman Tisdale Fine Arts Academy.

Regina is clearly proud the community has helped keep her husband’s legacy alive.

Never a fan of public speaking, she says leading the foundation has been a challenge for her.

“When we first got married, you couldn’t get two words out of my mouth,” she says. “Wayman pulled that out of me. When he passed away, I didn’t have a choice.”

Fundraising has been especially tough, Regina says, because she hates asking people for money.

Now the foundation has staff who handle much of the development. “After he died, I literally wrote this in my journal: ‘Wayman, this is above my paygrade,’” Regina recalls. “‘It’s your fault because

you gave me a life where I didn’t have to ask for anything.’”

Knowing the Tisdale Foundation will provide Eden with one more prosthesis removes some of the family’s financial burden, say the Huffs.

They say they will fund future prosthetics — if Eden wants to continue wearing them — with the help of insurance and through personal savings.

Overall, Monique says they are taking things “one day at a time” and focusing on showing Eden that she is special and important. It’s something they will also teach their second child, a son named Judah, who was born in July.

Of her daughter, Monique says, “We realized we can’t reduce her life to one missing arm because she would never experience all that she should.” TP

SIX LOCALS BLEND SKILL AND FESTIVE CHEER INTO THEIR ARTISTIC CHRISTMAS CREATIONS.

BY TIM LANDES

Every December, thousands of Tulsa families celebrate the Christmas season with all sorts of traditions. Some go back decades; others are just getting started.

There’s decorating the tree with ornaments, driving around to look at Christmas lights, shopping at local businesses to buy the perfect accessories to wear to parties.

Many people attend Christmas events featuring festive props that create unforgettable photo opportunities.

It takes a lot of creative people to help make those traditions each year. Here are the stories of a few Tulsans who devote hours of hard work to help create Christmas joy for their neighbors, family and friends.

Jacob Williams’ house at 12713 S. Second St. in Jenks displays a light show that draws onlookers throughout the holiday season.

BRIGHT IDEA Jacob Williams is under pressure. For the past three years, he has decorated his house with elaborate Christmas lights, props and musical sequences.

Every year he has increased the spectacle, and the crowds have grown with it. The first year it was just lights and no music. The line of cars in front of his home was up to six deep with maybe a limo sprinkled in from time to time. Then word got out.

The Williams house now has thousands of views on YouTube. It has twice been featured on local newscasts. It made the front page of the Tulsa World. There’s a Facebook page with more than 4,000 fans.

Last year, cars were in line for up to an hour and a half to see his 15-minute light show that featured a “Star Wars” segment.

“The pressure is there because throughout the summer people tell me they’re looking forward to it,” Williams says. “People get excited and want to know what I’m adding or what I’ll do different.

I don’t want it to get too big or too crazy that it starts becoming a problem for my neighbors. They already call me Griswold.” Online forums, an annual learning expo and a supportive Christmas light community taught Williams the ins and outs of installation and programming.

TulsaPeople DECEMBER 2018

At less than two months until he’s supposed to have this year’s show plugged in, Williams is now a father of a 1-month-old girl, which has brought his prep work to minimal at best. Williams says he told his wife, Jennifer, he might not do anything this year because he feels guilty spending time testing lights or creating new sequences when he can be changing Cayman’s diaper or rocking her to sleep.

Then he thinks about the families who visit his house. One has made an annual tradition of taking a picture with their child in front of the giant light-up tree. There’s the mom who started crying when she told him she struggled to buy gifts for her six kids, but visiting his house made them so happy, she brought them by multiple times.

It’s stories like those and the fact he now has a daughter of his own to share the experience with that motivate him to have the lights on and music playing by Dec. 1.

“It puts me and others into the Christmas spirit, which I love,” Williams says. “I hand out candy canes to people, and they tell me how they enjoy making memories for their families and want to come back each year. It’s awesome to hear those things and spread some love and joy.”

DiAnn Berry created the pin using beeswax and damar resin, then handpainted each one for a one-of-a-kind creation. She is an artist and neighbor to Philbrook Museum of Art. Her design was chosen for this year’s Festival pin, a 29-year tradition.

TULSAPEOPLE.COM/PODCAST Catch the Dec. 5 episode of TULSA TALKS, a TulsaPeople podcast, featuring Philbrook’s Director and President Scott Stulen discussing all things Festival.

Buzzworthy For years, DiAnn Berry has watched a stream of cars enter and exit her neighbor’s driveway as thousands attend Philbrook Museum of Art’s annual Festival.

Although she too has attended the event throughout the past 28 years, this season she created the popular Festival pin that’s available in the gift shop for $28. Collectors vie for the limited series each year.

She and museum officials call the collaboration serendipitous.

As Philbrook’s bees were making a buzz on social media earlier this year, Berry was experimenting with encaustic art, or hot wax art, which uses beeswax and damar resin to harden the material.

Berry, who has long wanted to create the lapel pin, realized she had a rare opportunity to accomplish her dream.

“I had all this wax available, so I did a few samples and brought them to Susan (Shrewder, the museum shop manager and buyer) who chose the natural color beeswax,” Berry says. “Since this year has been about bees in the garden, they thought it’d be a perfect fit.”

Typically, museum staff does a call for submissions to design the Festival pin, but this year, Shrewder says that did not happen because they loved their neighbor’s creation.

“We did not open it up because we found the perfect pin,” she says. “We really strive to have a lot of different mediums represented within the pin collection. We’ve certainly never had one made of beeswax before. It all just fell together.”

Berry made the pins in her home by melting down 5-pound blocks of wax in a slow cooker, then pouring the wax into a silicone mold. After it hardened, she painted each one and added a handformed star and the pin. On average she created 12 a day for a limited series run.

This year’s Festival — formerly known as Festival of Trees — is different than those in the past. It will have thousands of lights, a train for tours and a timed-light show, and Santa Claus will be at the museum’s new log cabin. The event runs select days from Nov. 23-Dec. 31, with limited tickets available for each night. Children 17 and under get in free, but still need to reserve a ticket.

Museum officials say limiting the guests per night creates a better experience for everyone. Reserve tickets at philbrook.org/festival.

Berry’s pin will be on display in the gift shop. “I feel so pleased. It’s not fine jewelry, but it has a lot of meaning to me,” she says. “It’s validation, and since I live next door to Philbrook, it’s a lot of fun to know I’m really connected to the museum in a lot of ways. It makes me really happy.”

OPPORTUNITY

Bobbie Whaling is the artist behind the Tulsa Ornament, which she started in 1987. She sketches the ornament’s design on paper before it becomes a solid brass version with a 24-karat wash. In honor of its 80th anniversary, Webster High School is the subject of the 2018 Tulsa Ornament.

46

TulsaPeople DECEMBER 2018

There are many Christmas trees throughout the city decorated with Bobbie Whaling’s work. Since 1987 she has made the annual Tulsa Ornament.

This year’s features Daniel Webster High School, which is celebrating its 80th anniversary.

“After I did Will Rogers High School (in 2014) for its 75th anniversary, a man from Webster contacted me and said I should do that one because it’s just as good,” Whaling says. “I agreed and said I’d make one when there was a good time to do it.”

Whaling says she gets requests throughout the year. She has a list of places she wants to do like Cascia Hall and the Mayo Hotel. She hinted Gathering Place could be next year’s ornament, so she will be dreaming up the design for the next six months before drawing it and then cutting out the pieces to assemble it into layers that are comprised of solid brass with a 24-karat gold wash.

The ornaments are available at seven stores across Tulsa and online at tulsaornament.com.

Profits go to the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma, Neighbor for Neighbor and Catholic Charities.

“I’m an old Catholic woman who believes you have the gift of life, so you should give back,” says the former art teacher who retired after 24 years working at the School of Saint Mary. “I like the feeling I’m making a little mark on humanity. It warms my heart to give it all to charity.”

Her work on the ornaments started when she served as an advertising artist for Another Point of View, a local gift shop that closed in 2001. That year, there was no Tulsa Ornament, but her fans demanded she return to creating them on her own.

In 2002, Whaling brought the ornament back and created one for 2001’s U.S. Open at Southern Hills to keep the tradition alive.

To date she says her favorite is the inaugural ornament that featured Swan Lake. The design was so popular she brought it back last year to fulfill demand. Another favorite was 1992’s Golden Driller, which kept going through reorders and has sold more than 2,500.

Whaling says she believes she can keep doing annual ornaments for at least the next nine years.

“My eyes are still good, but I sometimes have to use my cheaters,” says the 71-year-old. “I might stop at 80. There are so many beautiful places that are historic, and I want to keep doing them until I can’t anymore.”

SUGAR AND SPICE

COURTESY HARD ROCK HOTEL AND CASINO

Rebecca Foy is the executive pastry chef for Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, which features a large gingerbread house display each holiday season. Foy and her team spent 150-plus hours on last year’s creation. This year’s theme is “Hard Rock Home for the Holidays.”

This month, visitors to Hard Rock Hotel and Casino have the opportunity to see a gingerbread house unlike any other in the metro area.

The annual event is overseen by Executive Pastry Chef Rebecca Foy, who brought her award-winning skills to the job when she joined the staff nearly three years ago.

“I competed and won in local gingerbread house competitions in Louisiana, but until working at the Hard Rock, I’ve not made anything on such a grand scale,” Foy says.

Once complete, the scene measures 20 feet in diameter. Despite its size, there are only a few building materials used behind the scenes; it’s an edible, genuine holiday confection. Last year’s house was created with 1,440 pounds of gingerbread, 200 pounds of butter, 600 pounds of sugar, 600 pounds of flour, 1,680 eggs and 10 pounds of cinnamon. There also were 200 pounds of powdered sugar and 2,312 pieces of chocolate, peppermint and other candy from top to bottom.

Although no one gets to eat the massive creation, the Hard Rock hosts gingerbread cookie parties for visitors to enjoy from 4-8 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays in December.

Each year, Foy and her staff come up with a fresh design early in the year and begin planning how to build it. In 2017, it was a giant castle guarded by nutcrackers with a dragon on top. This year’s

theme? “Hard Rock Home for the Holidays.”

Foy says she feels the pressure each year to come up with something bigger and better than the previous year. “It’s discussed all year long,” Foy says. “It’s always in the back of my mind. The staff and I are usually talking about it, making notes and throwing out ideas.”

Once the design is finalized, it takes up to 20 staff members to start the massive undertaking. It’s a slow and tedious process that takes months to construct. Last year, it took more than 150 hours to complete the project. When they’re not cooking sweet treats for the resort’s numerous restaurants and private events, they work on the project when they can.

“It’s all about scale, figuring out what pieces need to be made and how to get them produced with our equipment,” Foy says. “Initially, we just break things down into smaller sections and work on those sections individually. Then, with a lot of teamwork, it all comes together.”

The gingerbread house is just part of Hard Rock’s decorations for the holiday season. There also are a 24-foot Christmas tree in the grand lobby and more than a dozen smaller trees decorated throughout the casino.

“My staff and I really appreciate the support from everyone,” Foy says. “We all love working on this project. It really helps get us in the spirit of the holidays.”

Denise Denison Smallwood has painted storefront windows for nearly three decades. Her holiday scenes can be viewed across the area, including this year’s Christmas songs theme of paintings at the Jenks Riverwalk.

SETTING THE SCENE Among the many longstanding holiday traditions are business windows painted to display a cheery message of the Christmas season. Since 1990, Denise Denison Smallwood of Holidayz Distinctive Designs has been a highly sought-after painter in Tulsa.

Every year she begins work on Nov. 1, painting two to three locations a day. One month and more than 50 businesses later, she’s finished for the season. Among her longtime clients are Albert G’s, Kilkenny’s, Caz’s, Los Cabos and the Tulsa Transit station.

It’s a classic look that creates a feel of yesteryear.

It helps when Smallwood continues to get calls to paint traditional pictures like the old-school Rudolph and the other characters from the classic stop-motion animated TV special. Those nostalgic scenes recall memories for young and old. Another favorite was last year’s recreation of “The Grinch” on the Jenks Riverwalk windows.

In recent years she has received more modern requests, like Olaf from “Frozen” and “Elf on the Shelf.” She says she’s happy to do whatever the client wants but also enjoys when she’s free to do her own thing.

48

TulsaPeople DECEMBER 2018

“I love it because it allows me to have a childlike imagination,” Smallwood says. “I start dreaming about them the night before the job. I get excited about each one of them.”

Smallwood’s window painting all started with one car dealership and then grew to 28 of them before 9/11 slowed the automobile industry. Although she lost most of those clients, she started gaining restaurants and others, and business has remained steady throughout the year.

“Every year I ask myself if this is the year people will stop calling, but it keeps growing,” Smallwood says. She has always been an artist, and loved creating as a child. Throughout the year, much of her business comes from commissions for murals and furniture.

As the years progress, Smallwood admits she doesn’t paint as fast as she used to. There are days she’s not thrilled to work in the cold.

“My daughter, Lindsey, helps me when she can,” she says.

She admits it’s hard to believe she has been painting windows for nearly three decades.

Smallwood loves it so much, she’s unlikely to give it up. “If I won the lottery, I’d still paint Christmas windows,” she says.

VIDEO at TULSAPEOPLE.COM

Watch a timelapse video of Chef Devin Levine creating Santa’s sled out of an ice block.

Along with being SMG’s executive chef, Devin Levine is resident ice carver for BOK Center and Cox Business Center events.

He picked up the trade as a young chef at Camelot Inn. He outsources the blocks of ice from Millenium Ice and CenturyMcConnell Ice as it takes special machinery to form a block that doesn’t shatter or crack.

Cool composition It’s 85 degrees on the third day of October and SMG’s Devin Levine, certified executive chef, is thinking about Santa Claus, snowmen and reindeer made from giant blocks of ice.

For the past eight years, he has been the artist behind the ice sculptures at SMG’s annual holiday party at the Cox Business Center. It’s something listed on his résumé, but often overlooked.

During preparations for his first holiday season as the SMG executive chef, Levine revealed his talent to management. “We were planning the Christmas celebration, and among the list of items were ice sculptures. It was three Christmas trees and two snowmen,” Levine says. “They asked if we needed to order it in, and I told them no and that I could do it if they just bought the ice.”

His work was such a hit it became an annual tradition. This year he’s planning a more contemporary theme featuring four to five Christmas trees with a light shining through each one. He says on average it takes 20-30 minutes to do a carving with the outsourced ice blocks. He can take more time if he’s working in a refrigerated environment.

Among his favorites were the six reindeer displayed outside the building. They lasted four days

before melting. One other creation really stands out to him.

“One of my favorites was a candlestick with a flame. It looked like it had wax melting down,” Levine says. “It was simple, but very realistic.”

Levine didn’t grow up dreaming of becoming an ice sculptor. It came with the job when he was working in food and beverage at the now-closed Camelot Inn in the early 1970s. Every Sunday brunch, Friday night dinner and special event featured an ice sculpture, which meant Levine had to learn how to do it and then do it a lot. Back then it was a five-prong ice pick and a pocket knife for indentions. Now he uses a chainsaw and various shapes and sizes of ice sculpting tools and die grinders.

Levine also created ice sculptures during his 34-year career at Southern Hills Country Club and for side jobs like weddings and many other events, including the Tulsa State Fair. In recent years, he typically only does it for his day job.

“I don’t do it as often as I want. It’s kind of a lost art,” Levine says. “It’s something I’d like to see become more popular again because they’re fun to do and fun to look at when they’re completed.” TP TulsaPeople.com

WHERE TO HOLIDAY GUIDE Celebrity Restaurant

HAVE A FESTIVE MEAL Several local Tulsa restaurants go all out when it comes to decking the halls. Here’s the top three places to enjoy holiday decor while eating.

BY ABIGAIL SINGREY

Hodges Bend

Prairie Brewpub

Celebrity Restaurant

Decorating for the holidays has been a Hodges Bend tradition since it opened five years ago. The staff close up early the week before Thanksgiving and have an all-night party to decorate. “(The staff ) stack up records — ‘Ella Wishes You a Swinging Christmas’ and Vince Guaraldi’s ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’ are favorites — and tinsel, ornaments, garland, lights start to go up,” says owner Noah Bush. “By the next morning, it’s a winter wonderland.”

In addition to the decor, the Hodges Bend menu changes with the seasons, so patrons can expect festive drink offerings, including eggnog, mulled wine and hot cider. “We love holiday drinks, so we do all of them,” Bush says.

Prairie Brewpub’s decor takes inspiration from a restaurant in New York City that some of the business partners visited. They wanted to recreate that festive atmosphere in Tulsa.

Last year, the ceiling was covered in green garland decorated with colorful balls and icicles, creating the illusion of a giant Christmas tree. The owners started shopping months in advance to track down all of the decor.

“It was quite an undertaking. The best part was seeing how happy it made everyone, whether they came for dinner or just stopped by to snap a quick picture,” Prairie Brewpub Partner Ryan Slack says.

When the late Mike Samara, founder of Celebrity Restaurant, began to go blind, he put his energy into making sure he had something bright and cheerful to see over the holidays. The red velvet interior melds well with bright lights and Christmas decor. Over nearly 20 years, his daughter Paula Osko has kept the tradition alive.

While the decor changes some each year, selfies with the restaurant’s 7-foot-tall Nutcracker remain popular, Osko says. “(Enjoying the decor) becomes a tradition,” Osko says. “Many people bring their families every year at Christmas.” TP

BEYOND CITY LIMITS HOLIDAY GUIDE Castle of Muskogee

I Christmas car ride TRAVEL TO MUSKOGEE FOR SEASONAL SPLENDOR.

BY RHYS MARTIN 56

TulsaPeople DECEMBER 2018

f you are an Okie, you have to visit Muskogee. It has the makings for a great day tour, or even a weekend of exploration.

The Castle of Muskogee, 3400 W. Fern Mountain Road, is perhaps best known for the annual Renaissance Faire that takes place every May, but did you know it also has an impressive display at Christmastime?

It runs from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Eve and hosts a wide variety of activities.

The castle itself is decorated with thousands of lights and features a train, pony rides and multiple vendors. You can make your own Christmas ornaments and visit with Father Christmas while enjoying this one-of-a-kind Sooner State landmark.

Just down the road from the Castle, the Garden of Lights at Honor Heights Park, 1400 Honor Heights Drive, is a 26-year tradition with a stunning drive-through Christmas light display.

The park has more than 1 million lights spread over 132 acres, making this one of the premier displays in the state. It also offers a hayride.

Did you know the first Girl Scout cookies were baked in Muskogee? That’s one of the things that you’ll learn at the Three Rivers Museum, 220 Elgin St., which restored the abandoned Midland Valley Railroad Depot in the late ’90s. Today,

the museum is known for its exhibits on local history and its diesel switch engine, which visitors can explore. The museum also partners with the local historic Roxy Theater, 220 W. Okmulgee Ave., to show classic movies and organizes other events throughout the year. Check online at roxymuskogee.com before heading out to see what is happening.

If you’re in the mood for military history, the War Memorial Park, 3500 Batfish Road, on the east side of town is home to the USS Batfish, a World War II-era submarine. The ship was donated to Oklahoma in 1971 and was towed 1,350 miles from Orange, Texas, up through the Mississippi and Arkansas Rivers to Muskogee.

In addition to the Batfish, the museum has a collection of other military artifacts, including the mast of the USS Oklahoma, one of the ships attacked at Pearl Harbor.

If you get hungry while wandering the town, there are several options for great local eats. Runts Bar-B-Q, 3003 W. Okmulgee Ave., is wellrespected for its offerings of smoked meats and catfish. If it’s lunch time, though, it’s hard to go wrong at the Harmony House, 208 S. Seventh St. The restaurant and bakery operates out of a 100-year-old house near downtown. TP

FAMILY IS THE HEART OF AMBER MARIE AND CO.

BY KIM BROWN

R

etail has been the Welch family business for decades. Amber Welch grew up traveling around the country to art shows with her mother, Jere, so it’s only fitting that they opened their own home decor and lifestyle store together, Amber Marie and Co. “My grandfather owned a clothing store and my mom had a store — she was self-employed until she sold the business,” Amber says. “I started going to market when I was 12 years old.”

After Amber graduated from Oral Roberts University with a marketing degree, she surprised her mother by asking her to go into business with her.

“So we had a garage sale, and started the business,” Jere says.

The mother-and-daughter team enjoyed success at various home expo shows, such as An Affair of the Heart, selling their home goods, jewelry, accessories and clothing. But they had a hard time finding a space for a brick-and-mortar store.

“We were searching and searching, driving to look at space in the middle of the night,” Amber says. “A guy asked me if we’d ever thought about the local mall. Where I grew up in Kansas, the nearest mall was four hours away.”

58

When Amber and Jere met to discuss opening a local shop among all the big-box stores in a busy mall, she said the leasing agent showed them a photo of an example of what she envisioned as a good fit for the store. It was Amber Marie and Co.’s booth from Affair of the Heart.

Being friendly, helpful and accessible is an important part of their business — especially since it’s in the middle of a mall.

“We want you to love the home you live in, and (we don’t want to) force a look on you,” Jere says.

“We love it when we hear our customers say, ‘This is my happy place.’ They feel at home and at peace.”

And since they’ve spent their lives in retail stores and at market, Amber says it’s especially important for mothers and daughters to have fun shopping together.

“It’s important for us that mothers and daughters come in and find something for each of them, so that it’s relevant for all ages,” Amber says. TP

CHEERFUL GIFTERS Three Tulsans represent socially conscious options for holiday shopping.

BY KIRSTEN DOMINGUEZ

Sofia Noshay

Barbara Thornton

Cindy Webb

With love for her new Tulsa community in mind, Florida native Noshay founded Jujuu in November of 2016. It is a gift box service ordered online at jujuu.com and filled with socially minded goods made in Oklahoma by nonprofi ts and local businesses.

The boxes can be gifted at corporate occasions and personal events like housewarming parties, weddings, birthdays or can be bought just to be enjoyed with one’s family. Prices start at $25, and profi ts support mission-driven companies.

“Long-term I hope to inspire and encourage people that giving back is possible and, in many ways, even simple to do,” Noshay says.

Thornton and the sisterhood of volunteers at The Market at Pearl Thrift Shop, operated by the Children’s Medical Charities Association, are passionate about raising money for children.

Since 1970, Thornton and these women have stewarded the thrift shop through its many phases, mending and selling gently used and new clothing and household items.

In the past 12 years, CMCA has donated over $1 million in grants to numerous nonprofi ts for the needs of children ranging from medical, arts and education.

They have been at their new 1020 S. Rockford Ave. location for two years. “CMCA has a wonderful history, but we are most excited about the forward motion,” chairwoman Thornton says.

“We love what we do.”

Webb has operated the Fair Trade Shop at 3500 S. Peoria Ave., inside Southminster Presbyterian Church, for 10 years. All items are vetted through the Fair Trade Federation, ensuring that the artisans are respected, paid a fair wage and work in safe conditions.

This Tulsa shop is supplied with items made by happy people from all over the world, Webb says. Merchandise ranges from jewelry and other accessories to kitchenware and home and garden decor.

“The profi t goes back toward buying more fair trade merchandise,” Webb says, “to keep the artisans working alleviating poverty, reducing inequality and creating opportunities for people to help themselves.” TP

THE JOY OF SOCKS O

ne of the great unappreciated pleasures of life is socks.

A warm pair, a wild print, a whimsical image, deliberately mismatched (one polka dot and its partner striped), extra thick for winter, extra padded for running. Oh, the joy of socks.

Remember when socks were plain and annoying? They were too short. Women’s socks slipped down into our shoe heel and when men sat down, their shins showed beneath their pant legs.

Dress socks were as uniform as Model Ts, all black with an occasional brown pair thrown in for the madcap and wildly fashionable.

Yet, the ubiquitous sock has a fascinating history. Our Stone Age ancestors likely wore animal skins tied around their ankles. Egyptians’ socks worn with sandals looked like the foot of a two-toed sloth. The Greeks’ animal hair socks were called piloi, and the Romans wrapped their feet in woven fabric or leather.

For a long time, stockings were handmade and a status symbol worn only by the wealthy. The invention of the knitting machine in the 16th century mass-produced wool socks for the masses and cotton or silk for the upper classes.

Men wore stockings, called hose, long before women did. By the 12th century, men’s hose were knee-length and tied with ribbons. Then vanity prevailed. Men in the era of Henry VIII liked to show off their shapely legs, and fashion followed suit. Short tunics and breeches came into fashion with mid-thigh stockings. Men of the

64

TulsaPeople DECEMBER 2018

Tudor period strutted like peacocks in colorful, embroidered or striped hose. When their hose became a one-piece garment that reached the crotch, much like today’s pantyhose or tights, men quickly learned the discomfort of that fashion, and by the late 15th century hose were back to two pieces.

In the early 1700s, Peter the Great’s modernized Russia included the dictate that all men, except clergy and peasant farmers, wear ankle-length trousers. During the 1789 French Revolution, men’s knee breeches, culottes, gave way to ankle-length trousers.

The admiration for men’s legs continued, and by 1800 the fashion was a short waistcoat and tight trousers to make the legs look longer and sexier.

This followed the historic trend of using clothing to emphasize male prowess — broad shoulders, big chest and strong legs. Often the pants were skintight, light colored — sometimes made of soft doeskin — and worn with tall, shiny black boots.

Think-oh-think of Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy in “Pride and Prejudice.”

Once they found this style, men have stuck to it. They have worn long pants since about 1820.

As the style for men’s pants lengthened, not only did their stockings get shorter, so did the word.

“Stockings” became “socks.” Sadly, all this fuss and bother about men’s legs pushed socks out of view. For decades socks languished invisible and unacknowledged.

As for women’s hosiery, Elizabeth I popularized

stockings for women about 1560 when she received a gift of a pair of knee-length, silk stockings. She liked brightly colored stockings that flashed when she danced. By the 17th century, cotton was the popular choice for stockings. It was 1938 before nylon was invented and used for socks. World War II had two effects on women’s stockings: Silk from Japan was unavailable, and nylon was commandeered for war materials. American women adopted a “make-do” attitude and drew seams down the back of their legs to imitate hose.

This worked until they crossed their legs and the faux seams smeared.

Nothing much changed until 1959 when pantyhose burst into fashion. In her memoir, Deborah Mitford, the Dowager Duchess of Devonshire, writes how thrilled she was to discover American pantyhose when she attended the inauguration of John Kennedy in cold January 1961.

Now, socks are back. Flashier than ever, for women and men. “Socks are the new neckties,” said Atlantic magazine. They’re called “statement socks.” They are an affordable status symbol, although some pairs sell for almost $200.

The Chilean poet Pablo Neruda wrote many, many poems about love. He wrote only one poem about socks. “Ode to My Socks” ends this way: “Beauty is twice beauty and what is good is doubly good When it is a matter of two socks made of wool in winter.”TP

Dr. Jeffrey Galles

THE IMPORTANCE OF PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS

BY TERESA TACKETT

A

s the chill of winter settles across Oklahoma, some might be planning annual visits to their primary care physician to ward off the season’s ailments and illnesses.

Jeff rey Galles, D.O., medical director of Utica Park Clinic, understands the importance of consistent office visits to a PCP, not just to maintain health season to season, but rather year over year.

“Having continuity with one provider ensures safer care and less redundancy in testing,” Galles says. “PCPs generally want to maintain a record of all care, whether provided by specialists or other types of providers. Th is consolidated record provides a better understanding of your overall health.”

Whether a person needs to have an established PCP to be covered by health insurance varies, according to Galles. “Having a PCP is not required to have health insurance, though some health plans, like Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs), will require you to have a PCP,” he says.

That said, if a person doesn’t have a PCP and is in the process of choosing a provider, Galles says people should consider the type of treatment needed.

“A PCP can be a pediatrician, a family medicine doctor, an internist or an OBGYN provider,” he says. “Each specialty provides care for a different population of 2 TULSAPEOPLE MEDICAL AND DENTAL GUIDE 2019

patients based on their needs. Very often, family medicine providers will provide care from birth to death.”

However, the search for a PCP might prove to be more challenging than expected, especially for people who live in rural areas. The shortage of PCPs is a nationwide concern, but Oklahoma has one of the lowest numbers of PCPs per capita in the United States, according to the United Health Foundation. The state also struggles with distribution of PCPs, according to Galles.

“Our rural communities have a much greater problem with access to PCPs,” he says. “Many practices have begun to enhance their services by employing advanced practice providers (such as) physician assistants and advanced-practice registered nurses. These professionals are able to provide excellent medical care while working directly with the physicians in their practice.”

At the end of the day, Galles stresses the importance of regular office visits to a PCP, which results in patients having better health outcomes at a lower cost over the years.

“It is important to have a primary care physician because having an established PCP relationship ultimately will keep you healthier, and do so at a lower cost,” Galles says. TP

1. INSURANCE: “Whether or not the physician is contracted with a patient’s insurance is typically the first consideration,” says Jeffrey Galles, D.O. 2. LOCATION: Make sure your PCP is easily accessible. “A convenient location is also important,” he says.

3. SERVICES: “Consider the services available in the PCP’s office, which may include laboratory, X-ray, extended hours and other offerings, all of which are important,” Galles says. “One new service in some practices is the presence of nurse care coordinators, social service personnel and nutrition specialists. Some practices may offer these services to assist more complex patients with ongoing health issues.”

4. UNDERSTANDING EMRS: Knowing which electronic medical records (EMRs) the practice uses has become increasingly important. “A robust electronic medical record can facilitate medical record transfers from other medical organizations,” Galles says. “Medical record platforms allow patients to interact directly with their own records and this improves the quality of care they receive.”

Ronald Marsh underwent a clinical trial for a breakthough heart procedure led by Dr. Nicholas Hanna.

Major operation, MINOR RECOVERY TIME LOCALLY CONDUCTED CLINICAL TRIAL MIGHT BRING INNOVATIONS TO MEDICAL LANDSCAPE.

BY JOSEPH PRICE

W

hen Tulsan Ronald Marsh showed up at church a few days after heart surgery, his friends asked, “Weren’t you supposed to have an operation?”

“I did!” Marsh told them.

For most patients, heart surgery entails intense pain and weeks of recovery. Marsh had no recovery at all — he woke up from the operation with no pain and took no medication. In fact, he walked more than 2 miles a few days after an aortic valve replacement.

This procedure usually requires openheart surgery. Cutting through the sternum and replacing the aortic valve usually requires 8-10 days of recovery before patients can drive or lift anything over 10 pounds.

However, an innovative procedure called the Low Risk Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) allows doctors to make a small incision in a patient’s leg, and use a catheter to replace the diseased valve.

4 TULSAPEOPLE MEDICAL AND DENTAL GUIDE 2019

Marsh, 75, is a seasoned runner and leads an active, healthy lifestyle. During a routine check-up seven years ago, Marsh’s primary care physician told him he had calcification around his aortic valve. A few years later, after the calcification had intensified, it became clear the valve would need to be replaced.

However, instead of conventional heart surgery, cardiologists said Marsh might qualify for a clinical trial of the Low Risk TAVR. “Mr. Marsh was a great candidate for the clinical trial because he is an overall healthy, vibrant gentleman who essentially was suffering from one major thing (his severe aortic stenosis),” says Dr. Nicholas Hanna, the cardiologist at St. John Medical Center who led Marsh’s operation.

“The first phase of the trial has been completed, and the results are unprecedented,” Hanna says. “The Low Risk TAVR trial enrolled 200 patients, and there were zero strokes and zero deaths in the first 30 days.

It is the first TAVR trial that has achieved those results.”

This procedure drastically reduces the pain and recovery time of the aortic valve replacement, allowing patients to quickly return to daily activities, which suits Marsh.

“I don’t do sick very well,” he says. “I’d rather be outside working.”

Of the seven hospitals participating in the clinical trial nationally, St. John is the only one in the Midwest. “It’s a wonderful thing for the Tulsa community because we are bringing cutting-edge technology to patients who cannot get TAVR because it is not approved for low-risk patients yet,” Hanna says. “If we can prove that low-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis do well with TAVR in lieu of surgery, then TAVR will become the default strategy for treatment of this disease. The vast majority of patients will undergo TAVR instead of open-heart surgery.” TP

Neurofeedback Brain Fitness Center

RENU Your Brain RENU Your Life

There are many reasons why RenuYou Neurofeedback Brain Fitness Center is considered one of the top clinics in the world for neurofeedback (NFB). For the past decade, they have been the pioneer front runners of neurofeedback in Oklahoma and are passionate about research and development. They are the only board-certified neurofeedback NFB clinic in Oklahoma that has licensed professional therapists and counselors, NFB board certified practitioners as well as on staff physicians, including one of the only triple certified psychiatrists in the state who specializes in child/adolescent and addiction psychiatry and are also certified brain health coaches under renowned neuroscientist Dr. Daniel Amen. The brain CAN safely be retrained!

We were desperate when we came to RenuYou. Our son was a victim of bullying and was dealing with tremendous anxiety, after being locked in a locker at school. After treatment, our son has come back to us! He is calm, relaxed, and is earning good grades in school again. We thank God that we did our research and found RenuYou. Our son’s turnaround was miraculous!

RenuYou Neurofeedback begins with a qEEG that measures the electrical activity of the brain. Why? Because everything on our brains is electric… every thought you think and every emotion or sensation you feel is due to the electrical firing of neurons. “We measure that activity to see where a person is producing too much, as in the case of anxiety; where they’re not producing enough, as in ADHD, or where the roads just don’t seem to be connected,” says clinical director, Marie McCabe, LMFT, BCN. “We then develop a treatment protocol, based off that analysis and address it for change with neurofeedback.” Over ten years of positive testimonies speaks for itself.

I am a 26 year old and suffered with depression and anxiety my whole life. I didn’t know what life was like without taking a pharmaceutical. When I found RenuYou, I was skeptical. Train my brain to come out of this vicious cycle of depression and anxiety? After treatment, I am now drug free and earned my nursing degree. RenuYou helped me be who God intended me to be.

TRIPLE CERTIFIED PSYCHIATRIST, DR. SURJA, NOW ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS Dr. Anton Surja, MD, is one of only a handful of TRIPLE BOARD CERTIFIED Psychiatrists in the entire state of Oklahoma! He specializes in General psychiatry, Child/Adolescent psychiatry and Addiction/Substance Abuse with over 20 years of diverse experience helping patients achieve peak performance. He is not your stereotypical psychiatrist! While recognizing the need for medications, he would like to help patients reduce or better manage their medication, when possible, and believes neurofeedback is the perfect adjunct for doing so. Dr. Surja says, “I am honored to be working with the dedicated staff at RenuYou Neurofeedback Brain Fitness Center and am looking forward to helping our patients be the best that they can be!”

Tia Morrow and her daughter, Ella

RARE AND DEADLY A BIXBY TEEN CONTINUES HER RECOVERY FROM AN AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE.

BY SARA PLUMMER

E

leven and a half years ago, Ella Morrow was a 4-year-old girl who had just gotten a new bike with training wheels.

“I have a picture of her on her bike two weeks before, and there’s a mosquito bite on her arm,” says her mother, Tia Morrow.

“She was riding really well.”

The “before” Morrow talks about is before Ella was admitted into the Children’s Hospital at Saint Francis.

“We took her in afraid it was appendicitis, then they thought it was pneumonia,” Morrow says. “Overnight we knew it was meningitis. We went into the hospital on Thursday, and by Tuesday she was comatose.”

A neurologist was called in, and the Morrows were given a diagnosis of ADEM, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, which is a rare autoimmune disease that causes sudden and widespread inflammation in the brain and spinal cord. It also attacks the central nervous system. She was in a coma, forgot who her family was and lost her motor functions.

“They don’t know for sure, but they think it might have come from a virus carried through a mosquito bite,” Morrow says. It could have been the same mosquito bite

6 TULSAPEOPLE MEDICAL AND DENTAL GUIDE 2019

seen in the photo of Ella on her bike. The mosquito transmitted the virus, and Ella had an autoimmune response to it, causing ADEM. She stayed at Saint Francis for about a month and a half until she was stable enough to relocate to a rehabilitation facility. Ella was then taken to the Children’s Center Rehabilitation Hospital, a private nonprofit facility near Oklahoma City that is celebrating its 120th anniversary.

“When she went to the Children’s Hospital she couldn’t do anything,” Morrow says. “She couldn’t walk, she couldn’t talk, she couldn’t sit up.”

Teresa Adkison, a physical therapist at the Children’s Center, was on the team who treated Ella.

“When she got here she required a lot of assistance from us. Max to total assistance,” Adkison says. “Within two months she was much more independent. She was able to get out of bed by herself, go from sitting to standing. She could get up off the floor with minimum assistance. She could sit unassisted. She was walking when she left here with someone just holding her hand.”

And Ella still loved peddling.

“She would ride a tricycle,” Adkison

says. “I remember she would tear down the halls, and I would have to chase after her.

She definitely made a recovery. She was a special little girl. And her family was awesome. They were here 24/7.”

Morrow says she and her husband, Shane, initially looked at rehabilitation centers in Texas, but found the Children’s Center was exactly what they were looking for.

“It was roomy and spacious. Everyone seemed happy — staff and patients.

They were amazing, I became very close with them,” she says, and especially with Adkison. “While she was treating Ella physically, she was emotionally treating me.

As they were teaching Ella how to sit up and stand, they were teaching me how to care for her. They worked with us every step of the way.”

Adkison says at the Children’s Center parents and family are considered part of the rehab team.

“All of our goals include the parents,” she says. “We do weekly meetings with families and go over progress made. They go to therapy, so they have a base knowledge of what they’ll need to do. We want to make sure they’re trained so they’re comfortable when they go home.”

Ella stayed at the Children’s Center Rehabilitation Hospital for about two months before going home to Bixby in 2007.

“We were apprehensive,” Morrow says.

“Going home meant being all alone. They sent us with a binder, and they had therapies lined up. We came home with a plan.”

ADEM didn’t just affect Ella physically, but cognitively, as well.

“Cognitively she’s about 2 years old, in a 15-year-old’s body,” Morrow says. “When she went into the Children’s Center, she was mentally about six weeks old. Her illness was so rare, they just don’t know what will happen. There’s no reason to think she won’t develop, just at a much slower rate.”

Ella attends Bixby High School and continues to go to physical therapy twice a week, as well as occupational therapy and speech therapy. Morrow, her husband and their 20-year-old daughter, Lexi, have started thinking about Ella’s future after high school.

“Progress is very slow,” Morrow says.

“We don’t always notice it day to day. But we’re going to continue to work with her.

We’re not going to give up on her.

“It’s hard every day. It’s hard because it’s all day, every day. But she’s also taught me so much more than I ever expected. She’s so pure. She has changed my heart through all this.” TP

SCREEN TIME PREVENTIVE TESTING IS KEY TO HEALTHY AGING.

BY JAMIE RICHERT JONES

E

arly screening tests for common and potentially fatal diseases are an important part of preventive health care.

Through them, physicians can discover illnesses or conditions in their earliest and most curable stages — often before symptoms appear.

Consult your health care provider regarding appropriate timing and frequency of available screening tests, because there are many variables.

“It really depends on each individual patient as there are different screenings that are appropriate for different age groups and genders,” says Emily Grewe-Nelson, D.O., a local family medicine doctor in the Hillcrest network. A yearly wellness exam allows your physician to discuss any needed health screenings.

Regular screenings include but are not limited to blood pressure, cholesterol, certain types of cancer, diabetes, depression, dementia and heart disease. Dental and vision exams also are an important component of preventative health care.

Guidelines for these screenings can vary.

However many medical organizations cite the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) as the benchmark. Created in 1984, this group consists of 16 volunteer individuals who are nationally recognized experts in prevention, primary care and evidence-based medicine.

“At Warren Clinic, we generally adhere to evidence-based guidelines for what services to provide,” says Lance King, M.D., medical director of Warren Clinic. “A published guide of recommendations from the most authoritative group can be found on the USPSTF website (uspreventive servicestaskforce.org).”

CARDIOVASCULAR SCREENINGS

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in both men and women in the U.S., according to the United Health Foundation.

Cardiovascular deaths result from heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, heart attack and heart failure. Cardiovascular disease is treatable and can often be prevented by healthy lifestyle changes if caught early enough.

CARDIAC DISEASE

The Cardiac Calcium Score is the most important evidence-based test, says Richard D. Kacere, M.D., a cardiologist at St. John Medical Center. “Th is scan has been shown to have increased prognostic value over and above traditional risk factors for cardiac disease.”

The screening exam uses computed tomography (CT) technology to easily ascertain the amount of calcium build-up in the coronary arteries, he says. It does not require an IV or X-ray dye, and results can

If you’ve ever had a checkup at the doctor’s office, you’re familiar with the arm cuff and pump that provides an irritating squeeze and awkward silence while waiting for the results. Uncomfortable moments aside, the importance of this test cannot be understated.

One in three American adults has high blood pressure, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Unfortunately, high blood pressure often has no symptoms, which means routine testing is critical. Often called “the silent killer,” high blood pressure can lead to serious health problems including stroke and heart disease.

“If you’re looking for a basic screening that almost everyone needs,” Grewe-Nelson says, “a blood pressure screening once a year is recommended for men and women.”

People aged 40 and older, or with higher risk factors, should get their blood pressure checked annually, according to the Preventive Services Task Force. Risk factors include, but are not limited to obesity, alcohol abuse, unhealthy diet, sedentary lifestyle and African-American ethnicity.

Always included in your annual wellness exam, the blood pressure test measures how hard your heart is working to pump blood through your body. Two numbers are measured, the first (systolic) is the pressure in your arteries when your heart beats, the second (diastolic) is the pressure in your arteries between beats.

The American Heart Association defines normal blood pressure to be 120/80 or lower, and as of a 2017 report in conjunction with the American College of Cardiology, high blood pressure is defined as 130/80 or higher.

Unlike other screenings, self-testing can also be done at machines in pharmacies, some grocery stores and home monitoring machines.

CHOLESTEROL

Similar to high blood pressure, people with high cholesterol don’t have signs or symptoms initially. A blood test is the only way to detect it.

Unfortunately, too much cholesterol in the blood vessels can build up and impede

blood flow, which can lead to heart disease, heart attack or stroke.

The American Heart Association states that “hyperlipidemia means your blood has too many lipids (or fats), such as cholesterol and triglycerides. One type of hyperlipidemia — hypercholesterolemia — means there’s too much LDL (bad) cholesterol in your blood. Th is condition increases fatty deposits in arteries and the risk of blockages.”

Often poor diet is the biggest contributing factor, and with proper lifestyle changes cholesterol can return to a healthy range.

According to the Dept. of Health and Human Services, cholesterol can be checked with a blood test called a lipid profile. The results will show four numbers, which include total cholesterol, LDL (bad) cholesterol, HDL (good) cholesterol and triglycerides.

Consult your doctor about pre-test preparation, because fasting may be required for nine to 12 hours prior to the test.

The CDC recommends adults without heart disease have cholesterol checked every four to six years. Those with heart disease should consult their physician about routine screenings.

Risk factors include diabetes, family history of cardiovascular disease, tobacco use, high blood pressure, obesity and sedentary lifestyle.

Like all screenings, it is important to discuss a plan with your physician because recommendations for the age of first screening vary. Retesting is usually performed every five years.

CANCER SCREENINGS

Cancer is a complex group of diseases with many possible causes, according to the American Cancer Society. USPSTF claims that screenings leading to early detection of lung, colorectal and breast cancers lends to better treatment and recovery.

LUNG CANCER

“Nearly 50 percent of cancers can be prevented through lifestyle changes such as smoking cessation and maintaining a healthy weight,” says Kevin Tulipana, D.O., director of hospital medicine and vice chief of staff at Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Tulsa.

“Because prevention cannot stop everything, screening for health problems is extremely important,” he says.

Approximately 85 percent of lung cancer cases are due to smoking, according

to the Preventive Services Task Force.

Although the prevalence of smoking has decreased over the years, approximately 37 percent of U.S. adults are current or former smokers, its data says. The percentage of Oklahomans age 18-44 who smoke is 22.6 percent compared to 18.1 nationally.

Tulipana explains that when lung cancer is found early it is potentially curable; unfortunately, if it has grown past a local stage the survival rates decline rapidly.

“Annual lung cancer screening with a CT scan is the only screening method proven to reduce mortality related to lung cancer by almost 20 percent,” he says.

The USPSTF recommends annual screening for lung cancer in adults 55 to 80 years of age who have a 30 pack-year smoking history and currently smoke or quit within the past 15 years.

Their guidelines define “30 pack-year” as someone who has smoked a pack a day for at least 30 years. Other risk factors include family history, radon exposure, specific occupational exposures and history of chronic obstructive lung disease.

COLORECTAL CANCER

“Colon cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed malignancy,” Tulipana says.

“Generally, people should consider beginning colorectal cancer screening at 50 years of age, but certain high-risk individuals should start much earlier. It is best to talk with your doctor about these risks and your family history to determine when to begin colorectal cancer screening.”

The USPSTF recommends routine colon cancer screening for adults aged 5075. Those 76-85 should make an individual decision based on overall health and prior screenings.

Risk factors include but are not limited to family history of colorectal cancer, polyps in the colon, obesity, smoking, alcohol abuse, sedentary lifestyle and Crohn’s disease.

Although medical tests can be expensive, the Affordable Care Act requires most insurance plans to cover a number of screening tests.

This means these screenings might be performed at no cost to the patient. The USPSTF encourages individuals to check with their insurance provider about coverage.

Early detection is crucial because colorectal cancer can spread to other parts of the body.

The most common types of screening are stool-based tests or tests that look directly inside the colon and rectum.

“The generally acceptable tests include high-sensitivity fecal occult blood identification, stool DNA testing, sigmoidoscopy and colonoscopy,” Tulipana says.

Frequency depends on the screening method used. A colonoscopy can possibly be done every 10 years. However, stoolbased testing for microscopic blood requires annual testing.

BREAST CANCER

More than 40,000 women die from breast cancer every year, according to the Centers for Disease Control. It is the second most common cancer among women behind skin cancer. Regular screening can detect tumors at an early stage when they are most treatable.

Screening consists of clinical exams or a mammogram, which is an X-ray of the breast. The mammogram is considered the best way to detect breast cancer.

The USPSTF recommends women who are 50-74 years of age and are considered average risk for breast cancer should get a mammogram every two years.

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends a breast exam by a professional every one to three years for those 25-39 and annually for women 40 and older as part of a regular health exam.

“As with all other screening recommendations, there are specific populations who should undergo screening starting at an earlier age or using different modalities,” Tulipana says. “If you have a significant family history of breast cancer or other cancer, please talk with your doctor about the options.”

Aside from family history, risk factors for breast cancer also include obesity, postmenopausal hormone therapy, alcohol consumption, having your fi rst child after 35 or never giving birth.

Those with higher risk factors may have a test called breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The breast MRI uses magnetics and radio waves to take photos of the breast.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, breast MRIs may appear abnormal even when there is no cancer, so they are not used for women at average risk. TP TULSAPEOPLE MEDICAL AND DENTAL GUIDE 2019 9

GOOD MATCH CHILDHOOD FRIENDS RECONNECT THROUGH KIDNEY TRANSPLANT.

BY ANNE BROCKMAN

W

hen we first met Belinda Ball in October 2015, she was fundraising for her upcoming kidney transplant. The longtime artist was painting pet portraits as a way to thank donors.

Ball was born with a congenital horseshoe-shaped kidney that caused various maladies throughout her life and eventually caused renal failure. Her search for a kidney led her to her husband who happened to be a perfect match, but testing deemed the transplant inappropriate. During this time, Ball reconnected with childhood friend Claudia Smith, who took the necessary tests and ended up being a good match.

Those pet portraits helped fund that upcoming transplant.

Fast forward a few months to Dec. 21, 2015, when the successful transplant operation took place at Integris Baptist Medical Center in Oklahoma City.

“She was my best friend growing up and she’s a part of me forever,” Ball says of Smith. “She saved my life. I don’t think I would be here if it weren’t for her. I call her my angel.”

Growing up in Tulsa, the two girls were best friends. Smith always knew her friend would eventually need a kidney transplant.

She just never knew she would be the donor.

“Growing up, my family went to church, and we had a belief in God that he would hear our prayers, and I just prayed for my friend,” Smith says. “I believed God would help her, and, when the time came, I was able to help her.”

The extensive transplant process included physical and mental health tests, including blood and urine samples, organ compatibility tests and overall health accountability.

Today, Ball’s new kidney is healthy, but a previous condition left her small intestine bloated, which is painful. Smith is healthy and Ball is helping spread the word about living organ donation, which gives the recipient a better chance of survival.

And Ball’s art? It is still helping her financially by funding supplements not covered by insurance. She paints wood pallets in bedlam themes of University of Oklahoma Sooners and Oklahoma State University Cowboys. Find them at facebook.com/ simplyposhportraits.

iabetes is increasing in Oklahomans, according to the Oklahoma Office of the American Diabetes Association. Thousands suffer, and many people are unaware they are affected.

Approximately 451,888 — 14 percent of the adult population in Oklahoma — have been diagnosed with diabetes. Equally concerning, 1,036,000, or 37 percent of Oklahoma adults, have prediabetes.

Education is key, and if you have not been tested, below are some symptoms.

• Increased thirst • Frequent need to urinate • Extreme fatigue • Blurred vision • Tingling or pain in the hands, feet and/or legs Diabetes is not to be taken lightly, because if left uncontrolled, it can cause long-term effects on the body, including the feet.

The American Diabetes Association estimates that one in five diabetics require hospitalization because of foot problems. The reason? Diabetes damages nerves and reduces blood flow to extremities, causing neuropathy, or loss of feeling. With no pain, a simple cut or ingrown toenail can cause major problems, which can lead to amputation of toes or feet. Specialty foot care professionals, like the ones at Invictus Healthcare System work with podiatrists to perform routine foot care to prolong health. TP

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF SLEEP APNEA Loud snoring Gasping for air or paused breathing Morning dry mouth Morning headaches Difficulty staying asleep Excessive daytime sleepiness Irritability Memory loss Difficulty concentrating

Dr. Jerome Cha treats patients with sleep apnea with oral appliances.

Sweet slumber TREATMENT AND TOOLS OFFER A BREATH OF FRESH AIR FOR SLEEP APNEA SUFFERERS.

BY ANNA HOLTON-DEAN

O

n average, we spend one-third of our lives sleeping, yet more than 100 million Americans of all ages fail to get a good night’s sleep on a regular basis, according to the Saint Francis Sleep Disorders Center.

“There are a number of reasons for sleeplessness, but the most common is obstructive sleep apnea, a potentially serious sleep disorder that causes breathing to repeatedly stop and start during sleep,” says Richard M. Bregman, M.D., founder of the Saint Francis Sleep Disorders Center.

In many cases, an apnea, or temporary pause in breathing, is caused by the tissue in the back of the throat collapsing, according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.

The muscles of the upper airway relax when an individual falls asleep. If someone sleeps on his or her back, gravity can cause the tongue to fall back. This narrows the airway, which reduces the amount of air that can reach the lungs. The narrowed airway causes snoring by making the tissue in back of the throat vibrate as the person breathes.

In turn, the lack of oxygen can have 14 TULSAPEOPLE MEDICAL AND DENTAL GUIDE 2019

long-term negative effects on a person’s health, including high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, pre-diabetes/diabetes and depression, according to the AASM. While a serious condition, sleep apnea is increasingly common. “In fact, nearly 20 percent of the population suffers from sleep apnea — a percentage that has risen in recent years due to obesity, as well as doctor/patient recognition of signs and symptoms,” Bregman says.

Although there are several symptoms (see box), “one of the most common complications of untreated sleep apnea is fatigue, which can cause complications at work, driving and with interpersonal relationships,” says Michael D. McLaughlin, D.O., medical director of the Saint Francis Sleep Disorders Center. Furthermore, “There is evidence to suggest that untreated sleep apnea can increase the risk of dementia,” he says.

TYPICAL TREATMENTS

Treatment can include weight management, sleep positional therapy, lifestyle changes, dental appliances and surgery, in some cases. But the gold-standard

treatment for central and obstructive sleep apnea is CPAP therapy (continuous positive airway pressure), according to McLaughlin. CPAP machines — about the size of a tissue box — provide a steady stream of air to keep the airway open throughout the night via a tube and mask. Minor side effects include strap marks, skin sores, dry nose and throat, and nasal congestion.

If using a CPAP machine does not work well for a patient, McLaughlin says a new device, called Inspire Therapy, can be inserted under the right collar bone during an outpatient surgery. The device is turned on when a patient is ready to go to sleep, and it stimulates the airway so it does not close and block breathing. McLaughlin says Saint Francis is the only hospital in the Tulsa area to offer this form of treatment.

ORAL APPLIANCE TREATMENT ALTERNATIVE

For those who simply can’t tolerate the CPAP, oral appliances are an alternative treatment.

They work by moving the lower jaw forward to a certain degree, thus increasing the airway in the back of the throat, says Dr. Jerome Cha of Hope Restorative and Cosmetic Dentistry. He says oral appliances are not necessarily a “better choice” but good for patients who cannot tolerate a bulky CPAP machine.

Cost can range from $1,000-$3,000 depending on the intricacy of the design and “whether the treatment includes therapy to strengthen the muscles of the throat and mouth,” which can help reduce sleep apnea over time, Cha says.

A patient needs a thorough evaluation before using an oral appliance and should be carefully monitored by the dentist, Cha says. TP

BEAUTY & WEIGHT MANAGEMENT I want to look my best for the holidays, but with so many things to do, how do I take time for myself?

Can you tell me more about suture-free “pinhole” grafting of the gums?

At BA Med Spa, we understand busy schedules. That’s why we created our 12 Days of Christmas promotion. Patients may purchase services and products at large discounts to use now, or after the holidays when time is more readily available. This year’s features include Botox, dermal fillers, NovaThreads, Coolsculpting, permanent makeup, hormone therapy, laser services and more. We have our best pricing of the year just in time to face the holidays. Call 918-872-9999 or visit baweightspa.com to learn more.

A tiny pinhole is made in the gum tissue where gum recession exists.

Special instruments are used to cleanse and prepare the root surface and to move the tissue to cover the exposed root surface. Collagen is placed between the teeth and bone to hold gum tissue in place.

No sutures are used. Results are often immediate. Call today to see if you are a candidate for this quick procedure

What is a Qualified Charitable Distribution?

How cold is too cold to leave my dog outside?

A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) is way to make a charitable contribution directly from your IRA that also satisfies your required minimum distribution (RMD) and may lower your adjusted gross income.

Only IRA owners who are at least age 70½ on the date of distribution are eligible to do a QCD. The distribution is limited to $100,000 annually per person. The QCD may exceed the IRA owner’s RMD. Consult your Financial Advisor for assistance and be sure to complete your RMD before year-end.

Most healthy dogs that live outside and are used to the cold weather can tolerate, with shelter, temperatures down to 20 degrees Fahrenheit. Below 20 degrees, they should be brought inside to a heated environment. It’s very important that if living outside, they have adequate insulation and a shelter that is wind proof, otherwise they can be very susceptible to hypothermia. It is also extremely important that they have a no-frozen water source, which can be provided by a heated water bowl.

Land of opportunity 80 years of McGraw Realtors

BY GAIL BANZET-ELLIS

T

he largest independent real estate firm in the state was built on an initial partnership between Dan Davisson Jr., Kenneth Crouch who formed Crouch Davisson in 1938, and later local builder Lee Mulhall who joined the firm as a partner in 1946. When Joe McGraw joined the group as a sales associate in 1961, he set into motion a prominent business venture that has stood the test of time. Early in McGraw’s career, he was advised to invest in the market the way he sold his product, and “that was probably the best advice I got,” he says, “so I went out and bought my first piece of property.”

In the late 1990s, a group of builders, including McGraw’s longtime friend John Woolman, bought 50 percent of the company. Business more than doubled within a couple of years. Woolman later was named president and McGraw Realtors strengthened its local brand.

“It’s like that saying, ‘If you build it, they will come,’” McGraw says. “We have great management and have been fortunate to attract the best agents who have been with us for a long time. It has always been a family atmosphere.”

Woolman says McGraw’s keen sense for real estate business is not cutthroat, and instead is more focused on an environment of teamwork where all agents succeed.

“That all started with Joe — he has a really wonderful heart, and he instilled that in the company,” Woolman says.

Looking toward the future, Bill McCollough was appointed president and CEO in 2017 to carry McGraw Realtors to the century mark.

His 10 years of experience with the firm laid the groundwork for what Woolman and McGraw say is a new wave of energy. McCollough’s knowledge of technology, sound management skills and dedicated work ethic complement the genuine relationship McGraw originally developed with employees and customers.

“Real estate is dynamic, and it’s important to utilize technology while still maintaining those personal relationships,” McCollough says.

From leasing to property management, he sees opportunity across Tulsa to grow the firm’s commercial real estate division. But one goal remains at the company’s core: help agents successfully list and sell homes for customers.

“Being part of a company that has 80 years of history with iconic people in Tulsa real estate is humbling,” McCollough says. “I’d like to see us turn 100, and to do that we’re prepared to respond to industry changes and give our agents the tools they need.” TP

Tulsa’s Most Exceptional Mediterranean Estate

LISTED BY KATY HOUCHIN 1396 East 27th Place | Tulsa | $7,500,000 This remarkable estate home is located on nearly 2 acres near Villa Philbrook. The Mediterranean-style residence was custom built in 2002 by recognized California architect Richardson Robertson. New York interior designer Charlotte Moss creates a thoughtful setting that combines grand spaces, classic style and livable comfort. Thought of as Villa Philbrook’s “sister” estate, the home’s indisputably authentic Mediterranean and Spanish-style qualities abound. In this home, exceptional detail, quality, and functionality for modern-day living marries beautiful and timeless historic accuracy. The building materials and antique architectural elements offer depth to the scale: limestone floors, European marble fireplaces, 18th-century parquet floors, English glass-and-wood doors, hand-cut moldings, and exquisite imported wood floors. The rotunda features an iron balustrade and mosaic marble floor. The formal dining room astounds with handprinted Chinoiserie wall panels. A prominent hall sensibly connects the grand living spaces: open living and kitchen with butler’s pantry and preparatory kitchen, two additional first floor living spaces, combination study and media room, second office, and pub room, in addition to the guest suite. The sun room has a stone floor alongside steel doors and windows overlooking a private lawn. The second floor is accessible by elevator in addition to the grand stairway: 4 ensuite bedrooms, plus sensational master bedroom with his and her bathrooms, two second floor living spaces, kitchenette and laundry. The grounds are surrounded by a stone and stucco wall with gated entry, and include an English garden, multiple covered outdoor living spaces, gated pool, and spacious 4-car garage and motor court with private gated entrance. While sizable, the estate is undeniably intimate in character, and the countless curated details complement, rather than undermine, the home’s effortless livability.

CHEERS! When it’s time to stuff stockings or pick up little holiday gifts for co-workers or neighbors, there’s nothing better than candy.

But it’s row after row of more than 200 glass jars — filled with everything from chocolate-covered gummy bears to sugarplum gum drops that make it a truly unique shop for candy fanatics.

ith the hectic pace of holiday parties and to-dos, keep entertaining simple by letting guests DIY their own festive cocktail.

A self-serve hot chocolate station is the perfect answer to pleasing a gaggle of guests and taking the guesswork out of matching everyone’s tastes. Add some festive straws and mugs, and let guests whip up their own cup of cheer.

Hot chocolate is universally beloved, easy to prepare and comes in a variety of flavors like dark chocolate or even white chocolate. Set up two crocks or a couple of thermal carafes with pre-made hot chocolate. (Using mixes is fine.) Keep the hot chocolate flavors simple so guests can add their own pizzazz.

Then, set up your liquor and liqueurs.

(Pro tip: Use the smaller airplane-sized liquor bottles for easy measuring.) Here are a few mixers that will transform any hot chocolate into a dreamy hot choc-tail: Irish cream liqueur, Kahlúa or coffee-flavored liqueur, Fireball or cinnamon whiskey, Bulleit bourbon, crème de menthe, marshmallow-flavored vodka, dark spiced rum.

And no hot chocolate is complete without the trimmings: mini marshmallows, chocolate sprinkles, coconut shavings, cayenne (just a pinch!), cinnamon sticks, caramel sauce. — ANGELA EVANS

PINCH ME LOBSTER ROLLS AND SEAFOOD BOILS TOP THE MENU AT THE ST. LOUIS-BORN PEACEMAKER.

BY NATALIE MIKLES

T

ulsa is a small enough city that when a new restaurant comes to town, it’s immediately on everyone’s radar. But when it was announced that a James Beard award-winning chef would be opening a restaurant downtown, there was more than buzz. Tulsa foodies couldn’t believe their luck.

Owner Kevin Nashan is the most prominent chef to open a restaurant in Tulsa. Those who have eaten at his Peacemaker or Sydney Street Café in St. Louis know the electricity that comes from those kitchens. And whether out of modesty or incredulity, some Tulsans wondered why Nashan had chosen Tulsa to open a second Peacemaker location.

We have Tulsa real estate developer Jeff Scott to thank for that. Scott often made the trip from Tulsa to St. Louis to visit family, and while there, he would stop in at Nashan’s restaurants. On one occasion he left his business card.

“Honestly, as a restaurant owner you get business cards from people all the time,” Nashan says.

But something about this card made him take notice. On the card, Scott had written Bartlesville, a place Nashan was familiar with because it’s his father-in-law’s hometown.

“I grabbed the phone, called him and we started talking about Bartlesville and life,” says Nashan, who has visited the area since the early 2000s. “He said, ‘Listen, I really enjoy your restaurant and really think it could be successful in Tulsa.’”

In fact, Scott — who has been heavily involved in downtown’s resurgence — had a property in mind to show Nashan. And with not much convincing, Nashan said yes and made the first trip to consider Tulsa.

TulsaPeople DECEMBER 2018

“It took two seconds and I said, ‘This is Peacemaker,’” Nashan says. “I brought my family and my team because I wanted to make sure we were making the best decision.

“We went to Bull in the Alley and to Valkyrie.

We went to McNellie’s on a Wednesday, and it was burger night and packed. I was like, ‘Man, this is such a cool town.’ It gave me goosebumps.”

Perhaps it’s because it’s a seafood-centric restaurant (rare to find in Tulsa) or because of the rustic-modern feel, but Peacemaker, which opened in September, feels like a breath of fresh air in the Blue Dome District. Seafood is flown in daily from the East and Gulf coasts. Both presentation and preparation of everything from the lobster rolls to the shrimp boils are simple with a sprinkle of creativity.

We visited early on a Friday night, and by 5:30, the restaurant was already busy, with seats taken around the raw bar and tables.

We loved the namesake Peacemaker ($11), a poorboy sandwich with fried oysters, lettuce, tomato, remoulade and house-made pickles on French loaf bread.

Nashan says the most popular thing on the menu is the lobster roll, which you can order Connecticut style (warm with butter) or Maine style (cold with mayo). These rolls are packed with nice chunks of sweet, rich lobster.

If you’re hungry, the lobster, blue crab or shrimp boils are the things to order. ($24, shrimp; market price, lobster and blue crab) You’ll want to tie on the ubiquitous crab shack bib to dig in to these boils, served with potatoes, andouille sausage, Brussels sprouts and buttermilk biscuits.

For steamed seafood, the mussels ($15) are superb. Tender mussels come with tomato, bacon and shallot broth with grilled bread. It’s a dish to savor.

Beyond seafood, Peacemaker has a smoked brisket poorboy ($10) or a braised beef steamed bun ($6), both of which have been popular at the Tulsa location.

Peacemaker has a fun selection of sides, like a lobster Frito pie, a corn dog (perfect if you have kids at your table), fried green tomatoes, hushpuppies and smothered collard greens.

And dessert can’t be neglected here. Adults become kids again choosing from this menu of snow cones with house-made syrups, homemade softserve ice cream with dark chocolate magic shell and whoopie pies. Slices of pie, like caramel apple or pecan, are served in cast iron tins with vanilla ice cream, and are as good as the best pie you’ll find in Tulsa.

Peacemaker has a relaxed vibe, with silver buckets holding blue and white checked napkins, silverware and lobster mallets on each table. Drinks are served in blue mason jars. The mason jar might hold water or iced tea, or you could give the Bourbon Punch ($8) a try. Bourbon, orange juice, lime juice and tea make a great-tasting grow-up slushy.

Nashan grew up in New Mexico, where his family owned a restaurant for 27 years. He spent many years washing dishes and helping out at the restaurant, and by the time he graduated high school, he vowed to not come back to the restau-

rant business. But after graduation from St. Louis University and a plan for law school, Nashan was drawn back to the family business. He enrolled at the Culinary Institute of America in New York and later worked at Commander’s Palace in New Orleans, Le Francais in Wheeling, Illinois, and Daniel in New York City.

Nashan says Brian Green, who is chef at the Tulsa Peacemaker, has been instrumental in the launch of the restaurant. Nashan and Green have both worked for chef and restaurateur Daniel Boulud, and Green was previously sous chef at Peacemaker in St. Louis. TP

W H AT’S COOK ING? The buzz on Tulsa’s tastiest products, restaurants and events

BY NATALIE MIKLES

CHRISTMAS TO-GO

Amelia Eesley

With so many places offering excellent prepared food, many of us piece together holiday meals with some things we’ve made at home and others we’ve picked up at restaurants.

You can’t go wrong picking up anything at Stonehorse Market in Utica Square. Last year its peppermint bark cake, created for the holidays, became a new favorite at tables all over Tulsa.

The Market is a great place to pick up a dessert tray of beautiful truffles, cookies, barks and cupcakes, including gingerbread cupcakes topped with miniature gingerbread men.

One of the most elegant finds is Stonehorse’s cheeseboards. Assembled with a variety of cheese, pickled veggies, nuts, fruits and breads, this is a cheeseboard made for both the eyes and the taste buds.

HEALTHY HOLIDAYS

You don’t have to wait until January to detox from the richness of the holidays.

Whether you want to do a one-day juice fast or start adding more plantbased foods to your diet, Pure Food and Juice, 3524 S. Peoria Ave., is a good place to start.

Owner Cynthia Beavers’ seasonal menu includes a green chile poblano chowder with crusty French baguette bread and pesto — the perfect take-out food after a long work day. Or dine in at Pure, where they have much more than juices and smoothies. Pure has plantbased dishes of Mexican, Italian and Asian influences; desserts; fresh pressed juices; espresso; smoothie blends; organic wine; beer and handcrafted cocktails.

As for that chowder, it’s made with chiles, corn and sweet potatoes in a creamy broth. It tastes more guilty pleasure than health food.

“Our motto is we make really healthy food but make it taste really unhealthy,” Beavers says.

melia Eesley looks forward to planning the holiday meal at her home every year.

The expectations are high, considering she’s a restaurateur and operating partner of her namesake restaurant, Amelia’s.

“Cooking at home is my creative and relaxing time,” Eesley says.

No matter the depth of the meal, holiday cooking creates and conjures up memories. Music playing in the background while trussing the turkey, drinking hot chocolate or making cookies for Santa.

For Amelia, those memories revolve around cooking with her mother. They always spent an entire day in the kitchen baking chocolate meringue pies and pumpkin pies, the familiar Christmas songs of Johnny Mathis and Bing Crosby serving as soundtrack.

“She would let me stir the chocolate while it came to a boil,” Eesley says. “As a kid, I thought my arm would fall off, but every year, I always looked forward to the magic of watching the watery chocolate soup turn into thick pie filling.”

Another family favorite recipe was her mom’s specialty, which she called Orange Goodie. A mix of cottage cheese, canned mandarin oranges, crushed

walnuts, maraschino cherries and Cool Whip.

“I get a tear in my eye just remembering how happy that dish made everyone and how good it was,” she says.

Her cooking may have been simple, but it was Amelia’s mother’s sense of style that had such an influence on her into her adult and work life.

“We were not rich, nothing was expensive, but she took the time to detail everything, creating ambiance, which became something I recognized,” she says.

When her mother died, Amelia had just taken over the general manager position at Stonehorse Cafe. In a letter, her mother told her she had become a fine businesswoman.

“Parents cannot know what lessons will impact their child, what will really stick,” Eesley says. “My mother taught me the importance of being kind, the value of hard work and how to set a room. Unbeknownst to her, those lessons have been what I built my career on.”

If cooking at home isn’t your thing, Amelia’s, 122 N. Boston Ave., has a back dining room perfect for small holiday dinners. Chef Kevin Snell often does large roasts of pork, lamb or beef on the wood grill for those dinners.

COOKIE SWAP

If you only make one thing this holiday season, it might well be a cookie. This is the season when even non-bakers pull out their cookie sheets and bake a nostalgic recipe for gingerbread or decorated sugar cookies.

It’s also when some of us will be nibbling cookies at cookie swap parties, where you bring a couple of dozen cookies but leave with even more.

2 cups flour 2 ½ cups quick-cooking oatmeal ½ teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 6 ounces milk chocolate chips 6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips 6 ounces white chocolate chips

SNOWBALL COOKIES Makes 3 dozen 2 sticks unsalted butter ½ cup sugar Pinch of salt 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 cups all-purpose flour ¾ cup finely chopped pecans Confectioners’ sugar

JUSTIN THOMPSON: COURTESY/VALERIE GRANT

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter. Add the sugar, and beat for 1 minute or until fluffy. Add the salt and vanilla, and mix for 30 seconds. Remove the bowl from the mixer and add the flour and nuts. Mix by hand with a wooden spoon until the dough just comes together.

Shape the dough into small balls and place on baking sheets. Bake 8-11 minutes or until the bottoms and edges of cookies begin to turn golden.

Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for 5 minutes.

Place confectioners’ sugar in a medium bowl. When the cookies are cool enough to handle, roll in the sugar and transfer to a cooling rack. For a fun finish, dust cookies with edible glitter.

TRIPLE CHOCOLATE-CHIP OATMEAL COOKIES Makes 3-4 dozen 2 sticks butter, softened 1 cup sugar 1 cup brown sugar 2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until combined. Add flour, oatmeal, salt, baking powder and baking soda, mixing until combined. Stir in all chocolate chips.

Scoop with a ¼ cup measuring cup. Slightly flatten each ball with the palm on your hand on a baking sheet.

Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes or until golden around the edges.

RECIPES FOR SUCCESS

HOLIDAY SHORTBREAD COOKIES Makes 4 dozen 5 ½ cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 2 cups unsalted butter, room temperature 2 cups sugar 2 eggs, room temperature 2 teaspoons vanilla extract Coarse sugar, for sprinkling on cookies

In a large bowl, sift the flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar on medium speed for 8 minutes, until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, and continue beating.

Add the vanilla, then add the flour mixture and beat until the mixture just holds together. Chill the dough at least 1 hour before baking.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Coat a cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Use an ice cream scoop to scoop the dough onto the pan (using your hands warms the dough). Quickly push the dough so that it is smooth and even to edges of pan. Sprinkle coarse white sugar or colorful sugar onto top of dough.

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown. Cut into square or rectangles. Let cool, then serve.

Or, dip one side of each shortbread in melted chocolate.

Chef Justin Thompson, owner of Juniper, PRHYME, Tavolo, and 624 Kitchen and Catering, has developed, opened and operated numerous restaurants in Tulsa.

Earlier this year, he decided to take a break to reflect on his successes and failures, as a chef, restaurateur and entrepreneur, that led him to this stage in his 20-year career. That time of contemplation culminated in the creation of his first cookbook, “Trial and Error: Recipes and Lessons Learned by a Chef and Restaurateur.”

Thompson has always had a passion for writing, and since the beginning of his career knew he ultimately wanted to create and publish his own cookbook. “Trial and Error” presents many of the most pivotal dishes and recipes to his life and career as a chef.

“This collection is a representation of my career to date, and all of the dishes included have had an impact in my life in one way or another,” Thompson says.

TULSA HISTORICAL SOCIETY AND MUSEUM

ulsa Christmas parades have been annual events since Dec. 4, 1926, when 50,000 spectators lined downtown streets. Some years, the crowd has grown to more than 200,000.

Regardless of growth and expansion of downtown Tulsa, the parade’s route has always included South Boulder Avenue in all kinds of Oklahoma weather. Through the years, elaborate floats, inflated character balloons (Casper the Ghost, Kermit the Frog, Peter Rabbit, Donald Duck, Pinocchio, among them), beauty queens, marching bands, drill and dance teams, an Elvis impersonator, and even live reindeer and a baby elephant from the Tulsa Zoo have made the entry list.

During the late 1940s and early ’50s, area radio stations played “Jingle Bells,” heralding the upcoming arrival of Santa Claus, whose white sleigh atop a flatbed was pulled by a white convertible.

From the beginning, the parade’s main goal was to bring people from Tulsa and surrounding areas together.

Since its inception 92 years ago, the extravaganza, always happening in afternoons or evenings, has had various names and themes: the Santa Claus Parade, Tulsa World’s Santa Claus and Balloon Parade, the Children’s Parade, the Yuletide Pageant and the Parade of Lights. The current official title is Tulsa Christmas Parade, sponsored by American Waste Control Inc. Th is year’s parade, themed “Miracle at Boston and Fourth Street,” begins at 1 p.m., Dec. 8. TP
