Month at a Glance
Tulsas Expo Square offers The Tulsa State Fair and much more!
dwellers to get up close and personal with cows, goats, sheep, horses and more, while their rural counterparts show their livestock and compete with their animals. For those who prefer to compete with stringed instruments, the Fair is also home to the Oklahoma State Picking and Fiddling Championships, with fiddle, guitar, banjo and mandolin categories. Daily attractions include a petting zoo, stunt dog shows, a live shark encounter and milking parlor demonstrations. If youre a fan of elaborate cake creations, you wont want to miss the State Sugar Art Show opening weekend. For live music lovers, the Oklahoma Stage has a full line up of nationally touring musicians, performers like Hot Chelle Rae and R&B soul singer, Keith Sweat. Thrill seekers can head to the midway to brave a range of tilting, twirling and gravity defying rides. Of course, options for the less adventurous and younger crowd abound, as well. If you plan to spend significant time on the midway, youll want to check out the Meager Ride Pass to save time and money. For many Okies, the best part of the Fair is fair food: funnel cake, grilled corn, turkey legs, you know what we mean! To prepare for anticipated culinary indulgences, fair food fans can join in the Corn Dog Classic 5K and Fun Run on the Expo Square grounds Sept. 22, the Saturday before the Fair officially opens. This event benefits the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and features a post-race party with live music. For more information on all events, see www.tulsastatefair.com.

PULSE PRO
The warm weather will be coming to a close sooner than you might think and along with the cold winter comes the inability to get outdoors and workout, but that doesnt mean you need to become a couch potato. One way to get exercise while having fun (and meeting new people) is square dancing. Its not for old folks either! Many younger kids and teens are getting into the square dancing thing; it builds muscle, exercises your heart and offers a fun way to get into and stay in shape. You only need to show up with comfortable shoes on. They can show you the rest. We found a group that is always looking to increase their numbers, so read on and get your dancing feet moving this fall! Are you looking for something new to try this fall?

What is bullying?
By Angel Waldo
PULSE PRO
We hear about bullying on the news a lot these days. Celebrities have made stands against it. Schools have policies to fight it. Law makers have made laws to end it. Families have moved to get away from it. Teens have felt compelled to go to great lengths to make it stop, even sometimes taking their own lives. What is bullying? StopBullying.gov defines bullying as unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time. There are four types of bullying: physical, relational, verbal, and cyberbullying. Physical bullying includes the use of physical force to physically hurt someone, to break things belonging to or near someone, or to use gestures to intimidate a person. Relational bullying consists of leaving someone out and other types of exclusion as well as spreading rumors, Verbal bullying can include making threats, calling names, belittling, making fun of someone and intimidation. According to stopcyberbullying.com, Cyberbullying is when a child, preteen or teen is tormented, threatened, harassed, humiliated, embarrassed or otherwise targeted by another child, preteen or teen using the Internet, interactive and digital technologies or mobile phones. Regardless of the type, bullying affects children and teens in all areas, and in all economic situations. Bullying does not discriminate. Any child can be affected. Most states have laws and/or policies to fight bullying. Oklahoma has both. What can you do to help your child who may be bullied? Keep the lines of communication open. Making sure your child knows that you are available to him or her to talk about any issues is important. Look for changes in your childs behavior. Weight loss, change in appearance, withdrawing from friendships and social situations can all be signs of a problems. Changes in your childs attitude toward you and other family members can also be a sign. Often children lash out at family members when they do not have another way to deal with the bully. Saying what you would like to say to your parent or sibling may seem a lot safer than saying it to someone a child feels helpless around. Let your child know that saying no and standing up for yourself is okay. So many times children are afraid to say anything because they do not want to be accused of tattling. Make sure your child knows that when it comes to their safety and well-being, it is okay to tell. If your child is bullied, their school can often be a great source of help. Many schools have bully preventionists or plans in place to help students. Oklahoma has a hotline for students to utilize if they see something happening that threatens their safety or that of someone around them.
Many schools have groups for students to help them address bullying. Stand For the Silent is one example. Counseling can also be good for children that have been bullied. Counselors often work with children on rebuilding their self-esteem and confidence after they have been a victim of bullying. If you are concerned that your child is bullying others, letting your child know you are available to talk through situations is also important. There are lots of websites, books, and other support out there for children and families dealing with a bully. But when your child is the one who is exhibiting bullying behaviors, it is important to get them help also. Bullying usually has an underlying cause. Many children are trying to find ways to deal with issues in their life that have left them feeling helpless. Death in the family, divorce, moving away from friends and familiar settings are just a few of the issues that might be behind these behaviors. Helping your child learn new skills for socializing and helping them learn empathy for others can be beneficial. If the behaviors continue, seek help from a counselor or psychiatrist. Often children do not want to tell parents things that they feel might hurt the parents feelings. Having someone uninvolved can be easier sometimes for children to talk to.
We all know people who are suffering from some form of depression or mental illness, but many cannot get the needed medication to help them get back to the joy of living. There are some who are putting a lot of effort into helping these folks get their lives back on track, but they need a bit of your help too. All you need is a pair of good walking shoes and some friends. On September 8, the fifth annual Out of the Darkness Walk for Tulsa will be taking place at Riverside Park-West Amphitheater. You can do your part by registering at www. afsp.org and taking a walk to save a life. If you have questions, please call (918) 812-7609 or (918) 289-3631.

Homegrown Heroes
By Amy Addams
HOMEGROWN HEROES
Its all too often that we hear about rich, successful folks whove made a huge amount of money and dont need our accolades, but many of us are engrossed by their lives. So much so, weve made TV shows about them, their images are splashed across supermarket tabloids and they get more media coverage than many are worth. Unfortunately, there are people who are making a difference in others lives and rarely, if ever, get any accolades; no one pays for the use of their face on a cereal box or tennis shoe nor does anyone care about what they do; until someone loses everything, gets sick or faces a life-changing event, then these people are angels of mercy. It is when someone is lost and without resources that these givers get attention; but only from one or two people at a time. We found people, who do so much for others, yet they perform these wonderful acts of kindness on a shoestring budget, often unable to pay their own bills, but they continue to give selflessly. One such woman we found in Tahlequah has started a foundation to help others; Pay It Forward Foundation is the vision of Cindy Clark who wants to help those who are suffering. Cindy started Pay It Forward from her home where she had appliances or clothing that she no longer needed but others could use, and thats how the idea began. It became so big, she had to move her little shop over to 1315 W. Choctaw in Tahlequah where she has been temporarily given storefront space rent-free (for the time being), but she is working on her 501c3 paperwork so she is recognized as a non-profit company by the government and she can continue her work helping others. People can come in and get needed clothing, appliances, furniture and shoes, but sometimes people need a friendly face and some compassion too. Cindy gives that and more. She has helped people with all kinds of problems; loss of income, house fires, sick children, whatever the issue, Cindy has been helping people all over Cherokee County to get some semblance of order back into their lives. Its not only those who have suffered a set-back, she also helps those who have been suffering for a long time to clothe their children for school or get a newer microwave when their old one died but they havent got the funds to replace it. While this story is sweet, it doesnt end there. Recently, the one odd rain shower we received in July created a new set of problems for Cindy: her roof at the shop is leaking; it destroyed her laptop computer and a printer that she uses to keep the business going. It was a devastating blow. Her
cell phone was turned off for a while, but the roof leak is still an issue she needs help fixing. She had to pay $500 for her filing paperwork and much of her expenses to get Pay It Forward have been paid out of her own pocket. She also plans to start an emergency fund for people who need financial help after a crisis as well as a food pantry. And that is only the beginning. Cindy also needs donations to keep paying it forward. If you have clothing your kids have outgrown, an old freezer you no longer need or anything that is in reasonable working order that another person may need, including furniture, household goods or car parts, Cindy will find someone who can put it to good use. She also needs financial help to keep her business going. Imagine what a few dollars can do if many pitched in to help. Even $5 can go a long way if many of us pitch in. If you would like to start a Pay It Forward in your community (and every community needs one these days), then check out www.TahlequahPayItForward.org and see how you can become a homegrown hero in your neighborhood. If you would like to contact Cindy, she can be reached at (918) 453-1214 or (918) 207-0100. The Pulse would like to ask that if you know of a Homegrown Hero who gives so much to others, we want to know about them! Please send us an e-mail describing this person, their contact info and what they do to: editor@mypulsemag.com (please put Homegrown Hero or HH in the subject line). We would like to help start a network of people who help others in NE Oklahoma but we need your help to make it happen. Thank you for helping others.

IN THEATERS IN SEPTEMBER
Trouble with the CurveSeptember 21st NYR
Clint Eastwood steps in front of the cameras one more time for this baseball drama directed by Eastwoods long time cohort Robert Lorenz. Eastwood plays Gus, an aging baseball scout for the Atlanta Braves who wants to see if hes still got it as a recruiter. At the same time he wants to reconnect with his daughter (played by Amy Adams) and brings her along for the ride. Additional supporting cast members include Justin Timberlake, John Goodman, Matthew Lillard, and Robert Patrick. Lorenz and Eastwood have made some great movies including Million Dollar Baby and Mystic River. They have struck gold many times before, will this one be their next winner?
This is Sony Pictures Animation studios latest offering. Dracula (Adam Sandler) has invited a list of monstrous guests to his hotel (the place where monsters can get away from it all) for his daughter Mavis (Selena Gomez) 118th birthday. However, a regular human (Andy Samberg) has stumbled upon the celebration and to make matters worse has taken a shine to Mavis. What can a vampire daddy do? Additional voice talents include Steve Buscemi, Kevin James, David Spade, Fran Drescher, Jon Lovitz and Molly Shannon. Directed by Genndy Tartakovsky of Dexters Laboratory and Samurai Jack, this looks like too much fun to be passed up.
