Jazz Performances Welcome in the Holiday Season
One of the most important times of the year is the holiday season. We enjoy this time of the year by spending quality time with our families. Children come home from college and everyone is in a festive spirit.
The Dirt on Recycling: How Does this Really Work?
In your effort to recycle, have you noticed how many trash bins you now have? Does your kitchen feel like you need the crew of Clean House to come help you sort through all the mess? Are you scared your family is staging an intervention with Hoarders? At times, I certainly do! My husband is amazingly patient with it all. However, since I am the one in the family unable to throw away nearly anything, I feel a responsibility to handle all the bins, bags and compost, which I get tired of doing. It all gets piled up, which puts me in fear of the intervention.

Downtown Tulsa Offers Action this Fall
The heat of summer has passed and now we can enjoy cooler temperatures. Thank God! The weather change is a welcomed relief, considering how sizzlin’ hot this past summer was in Green Country.
The Fernandez Family is On the Road Again
Before having children, I was an avid traveler. Give me a choice between a new car, diamond ring or a European vacation and I will choose the latter every single time. Then over the years I somehow acquired four children. I still don’t quite know how it all happened. I went from one to four in less time than it takes to say procreate.
Tulsa Buzzes with Upcoming Entertainment
Okay, I confess, I bought Lady Gaga tickets. I couldn’t help myself. I’m not sure I get her music, and I wouldn’t want to see her wearing a family pack of porterhouse steaks, but she’s got an effusive energy that eats the air around her and makes you want to watch.
One Politician’s Example Can Inspire a Greener Tomorrow
It’s election season, which has everyone stumping and swearing they have the answers. I first thought to bring you political thoughts of current candidates on the topic of trash, recycling and sustainability. However, instead of focusing on the candidates of today, I’ve been inspired by looking back in time to a late, great Oklahoman who believed in keeping the green in Green Country.
Voting Public Should Decide Charter Issue
One of the most important governing documents to the citizens of Tulsa is their City Charter. Yet at times it also seems to be the most misunderstood. In Oklahoma, cities over a certain population are permitted to establish self-governance by the adoption of a City Charter. Often referred as the “organic law” of the city, the charter is the voice of the voters on how they want their government run and by whom. It is also the conveyance of power from the people of the city to those chosen to govern the city. Those elected to office take an oath to uphold the powers and duties granted to them by the voters through the charter. We are not elected to expand powers not expressly provided by the citizens.
Fall Performances to Entertain Audiences
There’s no need to scare up things to do around Tulsa this fall. You will have a super time savoring Tulsa’s best weather along with non-stop entertainment.
Owasso Welcomes Collinsville Pre-Engineering Students
Although most students are a bit nervous when they enter high school, a group of Collinsville freshmen have chosen to make their transition even a bit more adventurous. Eight students including four boys and four girls have enrolled in Principles of Engineering at Owasso High School, which is a course available to high school students through Tulsa Tech’s Pre-Engineering program.
Greening Up the Grid; Living Sustainably in the City
“Getting off the grid.” Some of the “green” television shows I’ve watched make living off the city’s electrical grid sound so exotic and romantic…just you and your honey living off the land and getting back to nature.
Unique Wedding Venues
When the word wedding comes to mind most people think churches, chapels, and traditional wedding venues like hotel ballrooms and mansions. Recently I have found some new unique venues, thanks to brides who have come into my bridal salon.
September Brings New Downtown Performances
September in this part of the country often means one thing: football. I’m a big sports fan, but the arrival of September for me signals something even more exciting: the launch of a new performance season at the .
A Tribute to Willie Earl Clark, the ‘Duke of Earl’
“Willie Earl Clark’s world was music. Whether it was playing music, arranging music, listening to music, teaching music or making sure the acoustics and sound system was perfect for other artists, this was his life. Each day was filled with music. On Saturday, July 3, I had the privilege of speaking at Earl Clark’s funeral held at the Morning Star Baptist Church, of which Earl was a dedicated member for many years.
Though his first name was Willie, we all knew him as Earl Clark. Now when you think of Earl, what comes to mind? Of course, we remember him as a great entertainer, phenomenal jazz and blues saxophonist, a fantastic vocalist too, band leader, dedicated music educator – lover of jazz and blues.
Turning Green Judgment into Green Lessons
“Go green!” It’s the new catch phrase, the “in” thing to do. But how the heck do I do this? I love the ideals of living a more sustainable lifestyle. I believe I have a certain stewardship to uphold for getting to be a part of a society. I understand the “why” of why going green is a good thing to do. But I am absolutely overwhelmed by the never-ending “how” of this concept.
