Don’t Be Alarmed, Be Aware Mother Nature’s Pest Control addresses potential insect-related issues not to be ignored: Zika virus, termites, bedbugs, and fleas and ticks. By Duane Blankenship

Most of us are becoming aware of the Zika virus disease, heretofore confined to Central and South America. The first case of Zika in the United States was recently reported from Dallas, Texas. The virus is spread to people through mosquito bites, and the most common symptoms are fever, rash, joint pain and conjunctivitis (red eyes). Justin Buckmaster and Sheila

Disler of Mother Nature’s Pest Control & Lawn Care say there is no need for panic or alarm, but in concern for public health, we should be doing all we can to keep mosquito populations at a minimum. Warmer weather is just around the corner, and winning battles against insects is Mother Nature’s expertise. (continued on page 22)

Mother Nature’s Pest Control & Lawn Care department managers include: Brent Pressnall, pests; Tom Sevitts, lawn; David Grady, human resources; and (not pictured) Andrea Monks, office manager. Sheila Disler is communications director, and Justin Buckmaster is marketing director for Mother Nature’s.

Spring is a popular time for remodeling and home improvement tasks. If you’re looking to boost your home’s appeal, think of what you first notice upon arrival at a house. Is it the kitchen? Bathroom? Garage? No – it’s the driveway! After years of winter snow, ice and corrosive salt covering the driveway, the concrete inevitably deteriorates and becomes pitted and flaked, transforming into a real eyesore.

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

Riding the Bucking Bull 5 Steps to Overcoming Fear About The Market BY MELANIE HASTYGRANT

Well folks, I can sur ely say…This ain’t our first r odeo when it c omes to the ups and downs of the st ock market. It seems we have quite the perfect storm brewing here in Oklahoma. Between oil pric es plunging, the st ock market in correction, high Oklahoma jobless claims, and the extreme negativity of this election cycle, it has created a tornado of panic and fear. It feels as though folks are holding on for dear life. While fear is an understandable emotion, if y ou act irrationally during periods of stress, you will likely regret it. The current volatility is uncomfortable, but it is not unusual or unexpected. It is impor tant to remain rational and disciplined. While we can’t control what happens in Washington, Wall Street, or Main Street, we can control how we prepare for and respond to the r esulting gyrations. Thoughtful development of y our goals, sound financial planning, disciplined investment management, and asking for professional help are

things you can control. The following are five steps to overcoming fear about the market: • Develop a clear goal about the money that you have invested. This should include what you will use the money for and when you will need it. If it is for retirement, look at how much income you may have coming from Social Security or other sources and solve for the difference. • Determine how much risk you are comfortable with. If you are unsure, Google “investment risk quiz” and see how you score. Most people think tha t they are fine with risk un til the market declines and then suddenly they are not. • Establish an investment plan. Research at least 10 dif-

ferent investments. Evaluate their potential capital appreciation, dividends, and risk factors. Decide what investments you are going t o buy. Make a decision about when and for what reasons you would both buy and sell this specific investment. • When the mark et gets rough, stay focused. Do not get emotional and change y our plan midstream. If y ou decide to change your investments, ask yourself if y our plan has changed or if y ou are just scared. • Ask for help from someone who knows what they are doing. It ma y be y our best investment ever. For help riding the bucking bull, give us a call. We can help. For more information go to www.waterstonewealth.com or call 918-272-1120.

Myths & Facts about Dental X-Rays Dr. Steven White clears up some common misconceptions about dental x-rays. By Dr. Steven White Does the thought of developing cancer or other health problems from dental x-rays stop you from going to the dentist? The rationale many people have is that because dental x-rays involve passing electromagnetic radiation through the jaw, the exposure could lead to skin burns, cancer, brain tumors and even birth defects. I’m here to tell you, this is not the case. The truth is…the amount of radiation given off during a dental x-ray is too small to cause any damage. And the information your dentist gleams from x-rays is well worth the scant amounts of radiation. I will discuss a few myths and facts about dental x-rays. Myth #1) Dental x-rays are particularly harmful because they are using radiation extremely close to the head and the brain. Actually, no matter what part of the body it is, the amount of radiation emitted by a dental x-ray is too tiny to cause any damage. You may wonder, if there’s no harm, why does the dentist leave the room? The dentist leaves the room because they do this all day long – yes, sitting for one x-ray session isn’ t bad. But the dentist might do 10 of these in a day. That’s ten times the exposure you get, and then they do it day after day after day. Myth #2) Dental x-rays will affect the br east milk of pregnant

women. In fact, nursing mothers often undergo numerous tests including mammograms and other x-rays to determine if they are in a proper state of health. Having a dental x-ray is absolutely no dif ferent than any of these other tests. Fact # 1) The amount of radiation you are exposed to during a dental x-ray is less than that encounter ed with other types of xrays, as well as many everyday activities. Unlike conventional xrays on other parts of the body, dental x-rays are targeted to a small part of the body. This ultra-precise targeting (plus your lead apron) ensures that just a small part of the body receives the small dose of radiation. Using a millisievert (mSv) scale to measure doses, you could expect 0.038 from Bitewing x-rays, and 0.150 from a full mouth x-ray. In comparison, a lower gastrointestinal tract x-ray measures 4.060, while a chest x-ray is .080. Radiation from space in Denver , Colorado is 0.510 per year, and the average national radiation in the United States per year is 3.00. So essentially, you get about three and a half times the radiation from space (if you live in Denver) than you do from a full mouth x-ray. Radiation is also present in just about everything from one degree or another; even a banana has radiation! For example, cooking with natural gas and flying cross-country expose you to more radioactive materials than a dental x-ray . Fact #2) Current dental x-rays require one-fourth of the radiation of traditional dental x-rays. With the introduction of faster speed x-ray film, the amount of radiation needed for dental x-rays has decreased considerably, as well as the amount of time you are exposed to radiation. Digital x-rays have been around for awhile now, and are quite popular, although I will say that not all dentists use them because the equipment is quite expensive. But the advantages are profound. Amongst the benefits are: immediate viewing of the digital image, easy storage for comparison, the ability to enhance the image, better communication between dental practitioners (i.e. emailing images), and (ready for it?) lower radiation. In some cases, radiation is up to 80 percent lower! Fact #3) The diagnostic and treatment benefits of dental x-rays far outweigh any potential consequences. Dental x-rays are a valuable tool in helping dentists detect and treat oral health problems at an early stage. Many oral diseases can’t be detected by visual and physical examination alone. Dental x-rays can help diagnose early-stage cavities, gum diseases,

infections, and some types of tumors. At White Smile, we use digital x-rays in our office, which use even less radiation than traditional x-rays. I can’t do my job of detecting disease without this diagnostic tool. You wouldn’t refuse a chest x-ray or CT scan (far more radiation) if your M.D. suggested you need one. We take the minimum amount of x-rays and follow ADA guidelines in their use. The State Department of Health regularly tests all radiation producing machines and certifies their safety.

(L to R): Jaxon Stevens, Bixby student; Jackie Stevens, Vice President of Bixby North Elementary PTA and Agora Craft Market Chair; Julianne Stevens, Bixby student and Diane Griffin, retired teacher and vendor with her company Share Joy.

Bixby North Elementary PTA is set to host its second annual Agora Spartan Craft Market to benefit Bixby North Elementary on Saturday, April 2 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Bixby North Elementary gym, located at 7701 E. 121st St. S. in Bixby. The Agora Spartan Craft Market, Agora meaning Sparta/Greek for market place, will host more than 50 vendors at the second annual craft market. Vendors are coming from around the Bixby and Tulsa area to set up and sell everything from jewelry and candles to springtime home décor, seasonal décor, ceramics, cosmetics, woodworking, and kids’ apparel and accessories. The vendors offer specialized items that are one-of-a-kind and are great gifts for family, teachers or friends. “Our community is filled with so much

talent from participating individuals and businesses showcasing their hobbies and skills,” said Sarah Morgan, president of Bixby PTA. “Our goal is to raise more than $3,000, which will go toward funding of teacher grants. Teachers are given the opportunity annually to write grant proposals to request items not covered by current public school funding that will enhance the classroom experience for their students.” Participating vendors to date include: Dimple Toes, Kiln Arts of Tulsa (KAT), Scentsy, Bix Chix, His Floral Designs, Simply Splendor Home Decor, Perfectly Posh, Matilda Jane, Younique, Roark Acres Honey Farm, Sisto’s Stitches, The Wright Designs Jewelry, Flamingo Beads, Angel Stitches, Connie with Rodan & Fields, Barbara’s Hand Painted Porcelain Dolls, Triska Pottery, Kairos 10, 3rd Life Wood Products, Avon, Okie Jewels & Boutique, Shabby

Concessions will be available from Goodcents, who will be selling sandwiches, drinks and other items. There’s fun for the whole family, and KAT will be offering a “Make & Take” ceramic booth for the kids to display their creative talent. For more information, contact

RRun to the Well Kibo Group International will host the second annual 5K and Fun Run, dedicated to bringing clean water to Uganda, on April 9, 2016.

By Julie Alexander Most of us give little thought to where our water comes from when we turn on a faucet, but in countries like Uganda, potable water is at a premium. When a group of missionaries from Searcy, Arkansas visited the country in 1994, they quickly discovered how important water is to communities and to their own mission. Greg Taylor, a minister at The Journey Church in Tulsa, was a member of the mission group that went in 1994. He said their initial work was to spread their religious message to the residents they met.

But after several years, they realized how big of a problem unsanitary water was for the community and the message they brought. And the mission grew into something that saved lives in more ways than one. “Our mission immerses, so when we baptized some people in polluted water sources, it convicted us that we need to also address the physical needs of clean drinking water for people, as well as addressing spiritual needs.” That trip more than 20 years ago led to the creation of Kibo Group International, which is

(L to R): Greg Taylor, minister, The Journey Church; Teresa McIlroy, owner, VIM 360; Ben West, communication coordinator, Kibo Group International; and Mary-Margaret Watson, runner and Kibo supporter.

dedicated to bringing clean water to Uganda through the construction and maintenance of water wells. The Kibo Group’s mission goes well beyond just clean water. They see clean water as the key to creating flourishing, healthy communities. Kibo provides funding for well projects, and teaches the locals how to build and maintain the wells, giving residents independence, stability and better health. Ben West, Kibo Group’s communication coordinator, said they fund four to five new wells each year at a cost of ten to fifteen thousand dollars per well. Kibo also helps to repair 15 to 20 wells per year. Training local residents how to maintain the wells is also important. “Repairing a well is sometimes a couple of hundred dollars up to a few thousand,” he said, adding that not all the funding comes directly from Kibo. “The communities help pay for the repairs. They might raise a thousand dollars to help pay for the repair. “ Most of Kibo’s funding is from individual donors from across the United States. But the group is gearing up for their two biggest fundraisers on April 9: the Run to the Well, a 5K and Fun Run, and The Kibo Group Partnership Dinner. Run to the Well was the

brainchild of Mary-Margaret Watson, an avid runner and Kibo supporter. “Uganda is near and dear to my heart,” she said. “Even though our feet are planted in Tulsa, we can make a difference around the world.” Watson said she was told by other 5K organizers that they should be happy if they break even the first year, but Run to the Well raised approximately $14,000 in 2015, and Watson’s goal is to raise $25,000 this year. They are expecting 400 participants this year. Teresa McIlroy, owner of VIM 360, formerly Strength of Mind & Body, is a race sponsor for the second year and will be having training sessions leading up to the event. She learned about Kibo from Taylor. She and her husband, Jeff, have visited Uganda twice and witnessed first-hand the difference Kibo’s work has made. “We were impressed with the way Kibo hires and empowers Ugandans to do the mission work,” she said. “Who better to serve Ugandans than Ugandans who know first hand the culture and needs?” McIlroy is also forming a team to participate in the run and encourages people to join her team or form their own. Sponsorships are available and range in price from $500 to $2,500. The course is USATF certified and runners are chipped and timed. The 5K and the Fun Run are open to all ages and ability levels. Participants will also find an interactive Ugandan village with a working well at the finish line. The Fun Run starts at 8 a.m. and the 5K at 8:30 at the River Walk Crossing in Jenks. Online registra-

tion is available at www.eventbrite.com and ends April 7. For non-runners, Kibo is holding its third annual Kibo Group Partnership Dinner the same evening. Featured guests include Jim White, the winningest cross country coach in the country who was featured in the Disney movie “McFarland USA,” and Duncan Ojiambo and Lazarus Wogoli from Uganda will speak about the accomplishments of Kibo in their communities. The dinner is from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Renaissance Tulsa Hotel and Convention Center. Sponsorships are available.

NNever Let Your Fear Decide Your Future Waterstone Private Wealth Management helps clients create confidence in their dreams for their future.

By Melanie Hasty-Grant With the markets making a turn for the worst since January, the smell of fear is in the air. Not only is it in “the air,” you can sense it in the hearts of investors. F-EA-R has two meanings. Forget everything and run, or face everything and rise. The choice is yours. I hope you decide to face your fear and rise. So what does facing the fears of the market mean, exactly? A lot of folks have been rocking along over the last couple of years, maybe making little headway here or there but knowing deep down they don’t really have an investment or retirement “plan” in place. It’s something people find easy to put off. Some may have visited an investment person one time, who put them in some investments but have not received any further advice or service. Some may have left their 401(k)’s at old company plans or moved them to an online “do-it-yourself” outfit in an attempt to save money. At any rate, when triple digit losses start occurring, the fear sets in. However, then the excuse becomes that they “don’t want to move anything right now because the market is down.” Folks become literally paralyzed by their fear. So…the following is what I mean by facing your fears of the

market. 1) The “market” could care less what you paid when you purchased something. Therefore, if you really don’t have a sell-side strategy, meaning a pre-planned decision about when and why you or your advisor would sell a specific investment, then you really don’t have an investment plan. You should get one! Riding this market up and down and hoping for the best is not a plan. 2) If you do have an investment plan, stick with it! If you already have a well thought out plan about when you would sell or buy specific investments (or have someone who knows what they are doing, who does) then by all means don’t try to change things mid-stream, stick with the one who brought ya! 3) Be actively involved in your plan for your future. Too many times we develop an investment and retirement plan for someone and after a period of time they become apathetic or passive. By this I mean they stop coming to their portfolio review meetings, stop trying to reduce their debt, stop making their contributions to meet their goals. They stop working the plan that they committed themselves to. While we realize that the day-to-day tyranny of investing and plugging away at a future goal isn’t always

necessarily sexy, it is necessary to reach your destination. Don’t get distracted. Don’t let the day to day ups and downs sway you from

what you want for your life in the long term. Finally, remember that while the current market situation

may be uncomfortable, it is not unexpected or unusual. Be opportunistic at times like this. As with most all circumstances in life, it is really not about what is going on in the market, it is about the decisions your make about what to do about it. Fear can be a catalyst for change. Embrace what it is telling you. You are in control of your choices. If you need help evaluating your investments or developing a plan, give us a call. We can help.

The Function, Responsibility and Performance of the Tulsa County Assessor’s Office

Helpful information about our Tulsa County Assessor’s office. By Dora E. Finlayson

to the public? The Tulsa County Assessor’s Office of Ken Yazel clears up these common

questions. The Assessor values property for ad valorem tax purposes. Ad valorem means “according to value.” The Assessor’s Office does not set tax rates or collect taxes. Tax rates are set by the County Excise Board based on estimates of need presented to the board by the various school districts, cities, and other taxing jurisdictions. Property taxes are used, among other things, for schools, libraries, the health department, and to pay off bonds and legal judgments. Once the Assessor has valued the property and the Excise Board has set the tax rates, the County Treasurer is responsible for delivering tax invoices and collecting taxes. The Assessor’s Office also receives and processes applications for exemptions. These include the Homestead Exemption, Additional Homestead Exemption, Property Valuation Limitation (Senior Freeze), Veterans Tulsa County Assessor Ken Yazel was first elected by the Exemption, and Manufactured citizens of Tulsa County in 2002. He is a retired U.S. Marine Corps Major, having served as a radio operator, parachutist, Home Exemption. Mr. Yazel believes it is Vietnamese linguist, Nuclear Artillery Officer, Recruiting Officer, important that he and his staff and Financial Management Officer.

be available in person to answer taxpayer questions, address concerns, and generally provide information about property valuation and ad valorem taxes. This is done through the Assessor’s Community Outreach Program, which is designed to give taxpayers an opportunity to learn about what the Assessor’s Office does and to provide a forum to answer questions and receive feedback. Mr. Yazel speaks to service clubs, professional organizations, homeowners associations, and various other groups throughout the year. His staff is available during the year to receive applications for exemptions at sub-offices located throughout Tulsa County and at various home shows and the state fair. Many people are unaware of the fact that county assessors in Oklahoma are regulated by the Oklahoma Tax Commission (OTC). Each assessor’s office is subject to an annual performance audit by the OTC, which scores that office on how accurate and how equalized their property valuations are, as well as how the office performs its statutory duties in general. Since the inception of the audit, the Tulsa County Assessor has scored at

or near the top of all counties in the state. And in 2015, the Tulsa County Assessor’s Office received a score of 100% (275 out of a possible 275 points).

Don’t Be Alarmed, Be Aware Treatments are administered in and around our homes, gardens, shrubs and lawns, therefore diminishing the inherent numbers of mosquitoes, fleas, ticks, bedbugs and termites. The range and abundance of the Lone Star Tick have increased over the past 20 to 30 years, and they now reside in Oklahoma and Texas. According to Justin, “All three life stages – larva, nymph and adult – will feed on humans and may be aggressive. They also feast on dogs and cats and are often brought into our homes.” With our mild winter, Mother Nature’s major focus is now on disease-carrying insects. Shelia indicated that common pests are most active mid- to late-summer and mild

winters generally indicate that we’ll see pests earlier, longer and in greater numbers. “This includes fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, bedbugs and termites,” she added. With spring break approaching and students on the move, Shelia reminds us of these tips to help reduce the risk of bedbugs in your home: Don’t put luggage on hotel or motel beds. Inspect rooms prior to moving in. The safest place for luggage is the bathtub; bedbugs hate porcelain and tile. When you return home, leave the luggage in the garage. Put clothes from luggage into the dryer and run a cycle on high setting. (Temperatures over 115 degrees will kill bedbugs.) After the dry cycle, wash clothes and do another dry

continued from page 1 cycle. Bedbugs love clutter; remove it. Don’t open packages you receive inside your home. The number one carrier of bedbugs is secondhand furniture. Contact Mother Nature’s for a treatment of FROSTBITE before bringing furniture into home. “We predict a healthy swarm of termites this year,” said Shelia. “Colonies get overcrowded and send out swarms that include future queens and kings to ferret out places to form new colonies. Sentricon HD (High Density) Bait System is our best defense against termites.” Mother Nature’s also offers a full-service mosquito elimination plan where technicians check potential mosquito habitats around your home – gutters, French drains, pools,

They Have the Dirt Soil Smart Partners provide quality soils for individuals and landscaping companies, as well as a drop-off location for leaf and grass disposal.

By Duane Blankenship

Many people know Don Hansen and his Thunderbird Berry Farm, located east of Broken Arrow on Hansen Road (321st East Avenue), just south of 71st Street (Kenosha). Don has recently announced the formation of a new business, Soil Smart Partners, for which Hansen will serve as mentor. Soil Smart Partners is a startup company designed to provide individuals and landscaping companies with a source of quality materials as well as a place to dispose of leaves and grass clippings. Hansen explained that there will be two divisions of Soil Smart: a materials division that will serve contractors with fill dirt and topsoil, and a compost division to serve landscape specialists and gardeners. “In short,” said Hansen, “we have the dirt.” Owners of Soil Smart Partners include Wes and Kristen Hedges, Michael Don Hansen serves as mentor for Soil Smart Partners, a startup Hansen, and Eric and company offering specialty soils for individuals and contractors. Kristin Hansen and are Don’s

grandchildren. The partners represent all the local schools (OSU, OU, TU and ORU) and have a wide spectrum of degrees from plant and soil sciences, engineering, microbiology and nursing, but they all want to minimize green landfill and make the world a little better than they found it. Soil Smart can customize each order to meet specific needs after NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) testing your soil to determine its content. According to Don, “You wouldn’t want to use the same compost on your azaleas as you do on your tomatoes.” In addition to their standard compost blends, Soil Smart is able to enrich your material with pine bark, cotton burrs, pecan shells, vegetable compost, cow manure, gypsum, limestone and sulfur. They can blend topsoil from the Verdigris River Valley with Arkansas River sand for the perfect sandy loam. “We need your leaves. We are set up to accept leaves and grass clippings free of charge,

and we can take limbs and branches in a separate area,” said Don. Drive to Soil Smart Partners in Broken Arrow by heading east of town on 71st Street (Kenosha) to 353rd E. Avenue (Lone Star Road). Turn north to the Soil Smart distribution area. Don invites you to put their quality product to the test by planting part of your garden with a customized product from Soil Smart and the balance without their custom formulated soil. “There’s going to be a marked difference between the plants grown in each area,” says Don, “because we have the dirt!”

Superhero Challenge

The Child Abuse Network’s 3rd annual fundraiser is set for Sunday, April 3.

By Duane Blankenship

Although every child deserves to grow up in a safe, supportive home, we are all frighteningly aware that child abuse happens every day. The Child Abuse Network (CAN) is currently seeing 50 kids per week from new allegations of abuse. CAN professionals and volunteers believe there is hope for every child. Staff members work with each child, one at a time, to ease the pain, stop the hurt and begin the healing process. In 2014, nearly 11,000 children residing in Tulsa County were subjects of child abuse investigations or assessments. That’s 1 of every 14 children in the county, and the numbers continue to grow. Child abuse investigations pose unneeded stress and trauma to the children involved. CAN works with each child during initial stages of investigation by addressing their basic need for a safe environment. Children receive collaborative intervention services including interviews, medical exams, case reviews and mental health consultations, all done in one place with one

team. Every child is heard, respected, and goes through this process only once. Ashley Neal and Mary Ann Cameron are co-chairs of the 2016 Superhero Challenge. This fun-filled family event is a fundraiser with proceeds supporting services provided by CAN. Ashley and Mary Ann have announced that Sunday, April 3 is the 2016 event date, and it will be held at POSTOAK Lodge & Retreat located west of downtown Tulsa, from 1 to 4 p.m. The event provides fun, food and entertainment for the entire family, and everyone is encouraged to dress as a superhero. Registrations must be made by March 4 to guarantee receipt of an event T-shirt. Registration will close by March 22, but register as early as possible because the Superhero Challenge is expected to sell out early. For convenience, register online and stop by the center for early packet pick up. This year’s event features the Sidekick Challenge for kids and the Superhero Challenge

for older children (11 and up) and adults. The Sidekick Challenge features jumping, climbing, crawling, trail running and more. Parents are encouraged to accompany children on the course. The event will be conducted in heats at 15-minute intervals, with the first heat starting at 1 p.m. You may register for the time you and your kids would like to run either course. The Superhero Challenge will include jumping, climbing, crawling, pulling and throwing. Races begin at 1:10 and 2:30 p.m., and participants in both events receive participation medals. The idea is to have lots Co-Chairs Ashley Neal and Mary Ann Cameron get in the spirit of family fun! for the 3rd annual CAN Superhero Challenge scheduled for All participants will April 3, 2016.
