 Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Sunday, October fifth, and we are glad you are with us.

Let’s start with some breaking news out of Oklahoma City where big changes at the state capitol are set to ripple through daily life in Tulsa. Kyle Hilbert, who represents both rural Creek and parts of Tulsa County, has just been elected Speaker of the Oklahoma House of Representatives, making him the youngest to ever hold the role. Alongside him, Anthony Moore steps in as Speaker Pro Tempore. Both leaders promise more transparency and a strong focus on education, roads, and economic growth, so we’ll be watching closely as their new term gets underway and how it could impact city funding and school budgets close to home.

Turning to the weather, we are starting the day with mild fall temperatures around the mid-sixties, warming into the upper seventies by afternoon. Skies are mostly sunny, and winds should stay light, making it perfect for any Sunday plans. Expect clear weather to continue into tomorrow, so it is an excellent day to get outdoors or explore local events.

In crime news, Tulsa police responded overnight to a break-in near the intersection of Peoria and East 21st. Thankfully, no injuries were reported, and officers quickly apprehended one suspect following a short foot chase down the Midland Valley Trail. Authorities remind us to keep vehicles locked and to be aware, especially as holiday shopping increases in the coming weeks. Extra patrols are scheduled for the downtown and Utica Square areas after a string of minor thefts earlier in the week.

On the jobs front, Tulsa’s unemployment rate holds steady at about four percent, with several new positions opening up at local healthcare providers and the continued expansion at the Port of Catoosa. The city’s workforce office on Archer has resources for job seekers, and employers say skilled trades and nursing are especially in demand this month.

Our real estate market is staying hot, with about four hundred homes currently on the market. Median sale prices are hovering near two hundred twenty thousand dollars. First-time homebuyers may find slightly better deals in neighborhoods like Kendall-Whittier and Red Fork, where competition is a little less fierce.

For those following Tulsa sports, it was a tough night for the Golden Hurricane football team, who fell to Memphis forty-five to seven. Our soccer fans have something to cheer for, though, as Tulsa’s women’s team recently set a program record for corner kicks and continues to build momentum after a strong preseason. Area high schoolers also brought home several wins this week, and Edison Prep celebrated a first-place finish in regional cross-country.

On the cultural scene, all eyes are on the premiere of the newest episode of Tulsa King tonight. Also, the Blue Dome Arts Festival wraps up downtown this afternoon, and the Gathering Place is hosting a Sunday Jazz Picnic starting at noon. Several new coffee shops opened near Cherry Street, bringing fresh energy and jobs to the area.

A feel-good story to wrap up: Over at Booker T. Washington, a group of students teamed up to collect and deliver over three thousand pounds of food to the Community Food Bank, making a real difference for families ahead of the colder season.
