 Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Friday, October 17, 2025. We start today with an update from City Hall, where Tulsa councilors have officially voted to cede control of Stickball Park back to the Muscogee Nation. This move aims to preserve its cultural significance while saving city taxpayers money since the tribe will now cover future park expenses. The council’s decision wasn’t without some passionate discussion, especially from descendants of Muscogee Freedmen, who voiced concerns over ongoing citizenship issues. Councilor Hall-Harper acknowledged these challenges, adding a personal note as someone with indigenous heritage herself. Listeners can expect more on tribal and historical land issues at future council sessions.

Turning to today’s weather, it’s a brisk fall morning with temperatures hovering in the mid-fifties across downtown and the Riverside area. Expect highs to reach the upper sixties by this afternoon. Rain isn’t in today’s forecast, but clouds will linger. If you’re headed to the Gathering Place for outdoor events, bring a sweater to stay comfortable.

In real estate, Tulsa continues to feel the effects of high insurance premiums, with many residents surprised by increases in their home and car policies this month. One local agent on Peoria says rates have jumped about ten percent since summer for most houses under three hundred thousand dollars. A public hearing on insurance is set for next week at City Hall, giving us a chance to voice our concerns or questions.

For those looking for a job or career change, Tulsa’s aerospace and medical sectors show promising growth this fall. Employers have posted over four hundred openings around Midtown, South Tulsa, and near the airport just this week. If you’re a teacher, there are changes at the top: Lindel Fields, our new State Superintendent, is building ties with Oklahoma’s CareerTech system and promising greater collaboration for hands-on technical education in our schools. This renewed focus could mean more training and job opportunities for students and adults alike.

On the police blotter, Tulsa police responded to a late-night burglary at a convenience store on Admiral near Sheridan. A suspect is in custody and no injuries were reported. Police continue to urge businesses to increase lighting and security, especially as days get shorter this fall. No major incidents have been reported downtown in the last twenty-four hours, but we remind listeners to keep an eye out for increased patrols near Tulsa’s event venues this weekend.

Our schools are making headlines: hundreds of preschoolers in Tulsa public schools are facing suspensions, many for serious behavioral issues. Educators and parents are coming together to address solutions, hoping to boost classroom supports and early intervention programs. Meanwhile, congratulations to Jefferson Elementary’s robotics team, which took second place in last night’s state qualifying meet.

Community events are in full swing. Tomorrow, local music fans can catch live jazz at Guthrie Green starting at six. The Tulsa Library broke ground yesterday on a new Owasso branch that will include apartments above the library, a first for our city. For those passionate about civic engagement, a town hall on the ongoing federal shutdown is scheduled for Saturday at the Greenwood Cultural Center. And if you’re looking to make your voice heard, Tulsa joins cities nationwide for No Kings Day protests this weekend, with rallies set for downtown and multiple local parks.

For sports, our University of Tulsa cross country teams are competing today. The women race at the Arturo Barrios Invitational in College Station, while the men head to Madison for the Nuttycombe Invitational, gearing up for the American Championships next month. Let’s wish the Golden Hurricane strong finishes and safe travels.

Closing our morning with a feel-good story, neighbors in Maple Ridge recently organized a food drive that collected more than two thousand pounds of canned goods for area pantries. Their generosity goes a long way as colder months approach.
