Scene
The Big Stink
This month marks the 99th anniversary of the birth of an Oklahoma actress who may not be one of our state’s best-remembered film stars, but who, for a brief and intense moment exactly 80 years ago, grabbed international headlines with what was perceived as a crude and disparaging remark about her hometown of Claremore.
Interestingly enough, Rochelle Hudson, born on March 6, 1916, wasn’t even from Claremore, although many thought she was. Also, historians and others who know about Claremore in the 1930s would say she had a pretty good basis for her alleged comments.
But let’s not get ahead of the story.
The incident occurred a couple of weeks after Hudson’s 19th birthday (although some sources list her age as 18 at the time). By then, the striking Oklahoma City native was already a film veteran whose substantial list of credits included director William Wellman’s bare-knuckled Depression drama Wild Boys of the Road and the Mae West vehicle She Done Him Wrong (both from 1933), as well as ingénue roles in a pair of films starring fellow Oklahoman Will Rogers, Dr. Bull (1933) and Judge Priest (1934). A third Rogers film featuring Hudson, Life Begins at 40, was due to be released in April 1935, the month after Hudson’s faux pas. Sadly, Rogers died in the infamous plane crash with his friend and fellow Oklahoman, Wiley Post, four months later.
Eight decades down the road, it’s hard to imagine the height of Will Rogers’ fame. Not only was he one of the top newspaper columnists, humorists and radio stars in the world, he was also a huge box-office attraction, coming in as the No. 1 moneymaking movie star during that golden Hollywood year of 1934. In his movies, broadcasts, columns and personal appearances, he often found ways of acknowledging his hometown of Claremore, the county seat of Rogers County (named after Rogers’ father, a prominent Cherokee senator, judge and rancher).[pullquote] I received a mountain of mail, half of it condemning me and half patting me on the back for saying what I thought about my hometown.[/pullquote]
Rogers’ internationally known connection with Claremore goes a long way toward accounting for its mischaracterization as Hudson’s hometown. After Hudson appeared in Dr. Bull, Rogers reportedly took a liking to the young actress, and his studio, 20th Century Fox, subsequently signed her to a new contract and put her in another couple of Rogers movies.
In those days of invented biographies and fan-magazine fictions presented as fact, studios did what they deemed necessary to make their contract players intriguing, and moving Hudson’s birthplace 150 miles northeast to capitalize on her connection with the biggest box-office draw in the country was well within the accepted boundaries of press agentry. The connection wasn’t entirely bogus; Hudson had family, including grandparents, in Claremore, and she’d visited the town often, but it was certainly strengthened for publicity’s sake.
The Tinseltown columnists did their part to cement this little deception. In the Jan. 9, 1934, installment of his syndicated column “Hollywood Gossip,” Dan Thomas wrote, “In Hollywood, nobody would even dream of comparing Will Rogers and Rochelle Hudson. But in Claremore, Okla., hometown of both, they are placed on about the same high plane.”
Of course, that wasn’t exactly true, and it certainly wasn’t the case after March 23, 1934, when the news wires suddenly erupted with reports of remarks Hudson had made during a publicity tour in New York City. Depending on which source you read, she either said, “I think my home town stinks,” “The city of Claremore stinks,” or, most damningly, “Claremore stinks. They have radium water there, and it stinks also. In fact, all small towns stink.”
Reports indicate that the statement, in one or other of the forms above, made headlines in New York itself. And the statement – considered far more vulgar in 1935 than it would be today – reverberated all across the country.
“You’d think I had uttered blasphemy,” she told Associated Press writer Bob Thomas in an interview released to newspapers for publication on Oct. 10, 1963, nearly 30 years after the fact.
“The studio was on the phone for me to come home before I said anything else. I received a mountain of mail, half of it condemning me and half patting me on the back for saying what I thought about my hometown.”
There weren’t a lot of back pats coming from Claremore. In fact, the people of Claremore seemed eager to make Hudson’s non-residency in the town a matter of public record.
“Claremore, Will Rogers’ home town, acknowledges him proudly,” began an unattributed United Press International story running on March 24, 1935, “but as for Rochelle Hudson, youthful film actress who told New York interviewers the town ‘stinks’ – the old-timers say she never lived here. Even her kinfolk say so…
“John Goddard, Miss Hudson’s uncle, a real estate man here, said ‘Rochelle never lived in Claremore.’ W.C. Kates, publisher of the Claremore Daily Progress, said he had been here forty years and never heard of Miss Hudson until a film company [undoubtedly 20th Century Fox] began sending out publicity to the effect that she was from Claremore.
“‘Will Rogers sort of pushed her along and now she’s pushing us in the face,’ said Mayor J.M. Davis.”
Lost in all of this was the good reason for Hudson’s comment. At the time, Claremore was famed for its mineral waters, said to have curative powers. People came from all over the world to bathe in them, hoping for relief from various ailments. Next to the city’s most famous son, the waters were what the Rogers County town was most famous for – and all of those “radium baths” gave the town a distinct and memorable odor.
Still, Hudson knew she’d blundered – and, more to the point, so did 20th Century Fox. The day after Hudson’s comments ran, the Associated Press released a story indicating her deep sense of penitence – whether real, studio-ordered or a bit of both.
“Rochelle Hudson,” it began, “the budding movie star from Oklahoma who went to New York for a taste of sophistication, apologized today to Claremore, erstwhile home of herself and Will Rogers, the comedian, emphatically denying she ever used such a horrid word as ‘stinking’ to describe it.
“This is the import of a letter received here today from Mrs. Mae Hudson, mother of Rochelle, who explained:
“‘Rochelle was talking about the radium water in Claremore. We were all chatting about it and explaining the wells and the odor. Imagine our surprise when we read that headline.’”
The piece ended snidely, noting that Hudson was “on her way back to Hollywood now, ending her short search for sophistication.”
Hudson herself told another wire-service writer at the time, “Apparently, I was in Claremore before the wells were capped. Before they put caps on them you could smell the odor all over town.”
Rogers himself also stepped up for Hudson, “asserting,” according to an April 3, 1935 AP story, “he did not believe Miss Hudson had said anything uncomplimentary to Claremore.”
Noting Hudson’s gaffe in his Whatever Became of . . . ? Vol. III (Ace Star, 1970), film historian Richard Lamparski wrote, “Women’s clubs threatened to ban her films and the studio was beside itself.”
But the controversy eventually blew over, and Hudson went on to a long career in movies and TV, continuing to act until a few years before her 1972 death at age 55. She was, in fact, in the midst of a small comeback in 1963, when Bob Thomas talked to her for the story quoted above. And in the course of the interview, Thomas wrote, he felt compelled “to ask her one question.”
“Yes,” she answered. “It still stinks.”
Learning By Doing
Rob Walenta and John Sulton, co-founders of Scissortail Farms, operate the aeroponic greenhouse farm in south Tulsa. Scissortail Farms provides greens and premade salads to local grocery stores and restaurants.
How is aeroponic farming different from traditional farming?
Aeroponics is a style of hydroponics that uses a mist to supply the nutrient solution rather than a thin film or a pool of water. This style maximizes oxygen availability at the root zones, optimizing growth rates and yields. It also allows for a wide variety of products and the ability to change the product mix rapidly as market conditions vary.
The vertical aeroponic growing system allows for maximum utilization of space and only requires 10 percent of the land that is typically needed for a traditional farm to generate the same amount of production. We can reduce water usage by up to 90 percent when compared with traditional farming. The nutrient water is recycled within the system, so there is only a small loss to evaporation and the plants themselves.
What backgrounds do you and John have in farming?
Our backgrounds in farming began with this venture. While we were working through the design and construction of the facility, we grew plants in 10 towers at our office in an effort to begin learning the process and evaluating which varieties of seeds we felt would be most successful. We used the products that we generated to supply Juniper [a farm-to-table restaurant in Tulsa] with some of their produce and began refining our growing cycles based on the feedback we received.
Do you think aeroponics is the next step in food production?
We think that it is the next step beyond organic farming due to the increased efficiencies in land and water usage, the greater availability of nutrients to the plants and the fact that it is a much cleaner process. Organic and traditional farming methods both utilize biosolids for fertilizer, which can increase the possibility of E. coli infections. We further mitigate E. coli risks by utilizing a municipal water supply and our greenhouse structure helps to prevent intrusion from animals and pests.
Over 90 percent of the produce consumed in the U.S. is grown in the southwest and transported throughout the country via truck or plane. Being local, we are able to get our products to the market more quickly after harvest, and keeping the root ball attached helps to extend the life of the plant. The controlled environment of the greenhouses also protects the plants from adverse weather conditions, providing consistent plant quality, supply and pricing throughout the year.
What challenges do you face with Oklahoma weather?
We still have to make sure that the plants don’t get too cold in the winter or too hot in the summer, that the relative humidity is in the proper range, that there is good airflow, that there is plenty of carbon dioxide and plenty of light. We have controllers that monitor the internal and external conditions and make adjustments like opening the roof vents, running the boiler system and activating the lights.
Does Scissortail Farms have plans to expand?
We’re excited to bring safe, healthy and nutrient rich products to our local market throughout the year, while also creating high quality jobs. We plan to triple the size of our current facility here in Tulsa and then expand to other markets in the region. The expansion here in town will include a section of greenhouse space designed to begin working with flowering plants as well.

Tulsa native Daniel Wilson left an indelible mark on the science-fiction world with the publication of his debut novel, Robopocalypse. Wilson, who resides in Portland, Ore., hopes to make a splash in the app world with the release of Mayday! Deep Space. The app, which was released in January, capitalizes on Wilson’s interests in technology, robotics and screenwriting. It applies speech recognition to lead the player to save crewmembers on a derelict spaceship from a virus through five levels.
“By employing spoken commands, I hoped to forge an intimate, emotional experience,” says Wilson. “My goal for Mayday was simple: create a story that you can play.”
Wilson completed his bachelor’s degree at The University of Tulsa, then attended Carnegie Mellon University, where he received a Ph.D. in robotics. He is also the author of How to Survive a Robot Uprising, How to Build a Robot Army and A Boy and His Bot. – Jami Mattox
Global Innovation
An international meeting of the minds is about to take place in the Sooner State.
“This year’s event will be the second time Oklahoma has hosted the Creativity World Forum, an annual event of the international Districts of Creativity network, based in Flanders, Belgium,” explains Creative Oklahoma President Susan McCalmont. “Oklahoma is the only North American region represented in the network.”
Two thousand people from the 13 official districts are expected to attend.
“Additionally, there will be representation from three other international regions outside this formal network, with whom Oklahoma is working to advance creativity and innovation – Northern Ireland, Rwanda and Chile,” adds McCalmont.
The theme for the 2015 forum is “All Our Futures: Ideas That Matter.”[pullquote]It’s always exciting for people to come together around the common theme of new ideas and hope for the future, and I think this year will be no exception.[/pullquote]
“All Our Futures was the title of Ken Robinson’s seminal work in the UK under Prime Minister Tony Blair that helped to define the role of creativity in education for that country and led to his leadership role in the creativity movement internationally,” says McCalmont. “The tagline of ‘Ideas That Matter’ is an important theme, as it highlights the focus on ideation as a driver for regions that prosper economically and are able to solve some of the most pressing societal issues.”
The innovators, entrepreneurs and those aspiring to be among them will discuss the importance of creativity in business through workshops and with the help of forum speakers, including Robinson. Guests will also hear from Michael Strautmanis, a former White House employee and current vice president of Strategic Programs for Corporate Citizenship at the Walt Disney Corporation; Stephan Turnipseed, the president of LEGO Education; and Scott Barry Kaufman, the scientific director of The Imagination Institute. The forum will also showcase performing artists to help inspire guests.
The forum provides the attendees an opportunity to network and learn from each other.
“It’s always exciting for people to come together around the common theme of new ideas and hope for the future, and I think this year will be no exception with the diversity of individuals from around the U.S. and globe gathering here in Oklahoma to share their common issues but together trying to come up with new solutions to those common problems,” says McCalmont.
She encourages anyone who wants to make a difference to come experience what the event has to offer.
“I think that attending this forum would be of benefit to anyone interested in expanding their creative and innovative capacities – students, teachers, parents, workers, retirees,” she says. “We want all Oklahomans to know that they are welcome to attend.”
Flight Plan
After a career in the business world, Iowa Tribe member and Perkins resident Victor Roubidoux decided to drastically alter his life’s flight plan.
“In about 2002, I saw an article about a rehabilitation center in New Mexico for birds, and I thought it would be a great project for Oklahoma tribes because of the way [their] culture reveres the eagle,” Roubidoux recalls. “So I had the idea, but there was no money available.”
In order to raise funds and generate interest in the project, Roubidoux headed to Washington, D.C., to speak with legislators.
“I talked to as many people as I could, knocking on doors one after another. Then in 2004, the tribe called me and said they had a grant to open a rehab center, and they asked me if I wanted to run it,” Roubidoux says.
During this time, Roubidoux received training from various organizations, including the Birds of Prey Foundation headquartered in Colorado. Roubidoux had no previous experience working with birds.
“I told the trainer [at the Birds of Prey Foundation] that she should treat me like a blank piece of paper,” Roubidoux says. “She told me she would take care of that. At that point, I wasn’t completely sure that I wanted to work with birds, but after only two weeks, that’s when it dawned on me that this was what I wanted to do. All you have to do is spend a little time around the birds and they get you.”
Roubidoux says he enjoys working with birds of prey because they are “magnificent and intelligent creatures,” but they also hold great significance culturally.
“Tribes might have different cultures, languages, dances and everything else, but they all revere the eagle. We believe the eagle is the only one who has seen the face of the creator. They have also been good to us through the use of their feathers. I couldn’t believe eagles were being euthanized, so now it’s our time to take care of them,” Roubidoux says.
The center’s name, the Grey Snow Eagle House, comes from the name of Roubidoux’s tribe. In the Iowa language, the name of the tribe, Baxoje, means “people of the gray snow.”
The eagle house, located in Perkins, now includes three 100-foot enclosures, two enclosures 18 feet tall and 25 feet wide, and another shorter enclosure for handicapped birds. The center also has a 150-foot-long straightaway designed for monitored rehab flight, Roubidoux says, where recovering birds can exercise to build up their wings and muscles after injuries.
When they first arrive, the injured birds are taken to the intensive care facility on the property. They come to Perkins from all over the country.
“We’ve had birds from Connecticut, Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa, Arkansas, Nebraska, Utah, Colorado, Idaho and Oregon. These were all birds that were going to be euthanized; we go pick them up and bring them here,” Roubidoux says. “With the Oklahoma birds here, those are the ones we are trying to get well so they can get back in the wild. The vet makes the determination whether they are ready or not.”
The most common injury Roubidoux and staff see is injured wings. This occurs more often in winter when food is scarcer.
“Sometimes they will go after road kill and gorge themselves on it, making their bodies so much heavier that they can’t get the elevation they need to in order to take off,” Roubidoux says.
After an initial diagnosis, the birds are carefully monitored.
“We have nine staff members and four interns. In addition to cleaning and prepping food and general maintenance, most of the staff’s time is spent monitoring the birds,” Roubidoux says.
When certain birds are deemed ready to return to the wild, Roubidoux says the feeling is amazing.
“It feels like we are doing our jobs right when we get to the part of getting them where they belong. We try to release them back in the area where they were found, or if they are juveniles, we try to make sure they’re around other eagles,” Roubidoux says.
The Grey Snow Eagle House is currently home to 48 eagles and several varieties of others birds used for educational purposes, including the Mississippi kite, Harlan hawk, barn owl, red-tailed hawk and peregrine falcon. In addition to rehabilitating birds and taking care of those unable to be re-released, the center emphasizes educating the public.
“We want to make sure that school kids know about eagles, what they mean to the tribes, and to our countries and others that use the eagle as a symbol of freedom,” Roubidoux says. “It’s so important to teach them about the balance we maintain with wildlife. Our next big push here is educating the public to ensure the safety of these birds in the future.”
Looking forward, Roubidoux says he hopes to increase the number of birds the center can take in. Right now, Grey Snow Eagle House is about “as far as they can go” with current space, which is permitted for 56 birds, but Roubidoux would like to increase the number to 70. The Grey Snow Eagle House is also working with Oklahoma State University on a genome project with golden eagles.
“Part of the project includes finding out how turbines and other man-made structures are affecting the birds and figuring out the best ways we can move forward with conservation,” Roubidoux says.
Compared to his previous occupation, Roubidoux says he has found peace in his role as a caretaker and defender of eagles.
“Dealing with birds is a lot different than dealing with people. It’s less stressful, and they’re easier to work with,” Roubidoux says, laughing. “I get such a sense of satisfaction in seeing them get well. Getting to know them and their personalities and working with them is such a privilege and an honor.”
Letter from the Editor
Sustainability. Go green. Eco-friendly. These buzzwords, more than ever, surround us daily as we make decisions, both small and large. From purchasing in-season produce to cars and even homes, it’s important to keep in mind one’s responsibility to the planet when making these decisions.
When Chad Burton began a remodel of a midtown Tulsa home, he admits that at the time, he didn’t even recycle. “It never even occurred to me the impact we have on the earth in our day-to-day activity,” he says. Now, he and his family live in the home that he remodeled. It represents 18 months of hard work and has received three designations by organizations that certify sustainable building.
Though Burton embraced green building and sustainable living whole-heartedly in the remodel of his home, small changes can also make a difference. Like Burton learned during the renovation, recycling is important. Whether it’s cans and plastic that build up from cooking or scraps of wood and metal that are left over after a large project, utilizing existing resources or recycling can make a huge impact on the environment. What we do today has an impact on our earth tomorrow and beyond. It’s a profound lesson that we should keep in mind.
Also in this issue, we highlight some of the area’s summer camps. Schools will be dismissed for the summer before you even know it, so get a head-start on your child’s vacation activities. Whether it’s tennis, soccer, art or acting that they enjoy, there’s a camp to be attended.

Sustainable Spaces
“I didn’t even recycle,” muses Chad Burton as he reflects on the irony of his perspective that has vastly changed over the last few years. “It never even occurred to me the impact we have on the earth in our day-to-day activity.”
Then Burton spent more than 18 months remodeling a home that is now certified by the National Green Building Standard and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), National Green Building Standard and the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) popular ENERGY STAR program.
“To my knowledge, it is the only house in Oklahoma that has all three of those certifications,” says Burton.
Craig Immel, founder of STEADYSTATE Geothermal in Tulsa and LEED Accredited Professional, who also serves as Chair for the U.S. Green Building Council Oklahoma Chapter, agrees.
“I’m unaware of anyone else who has gone through the process of LEED and NAHB accreditation,” says Immel, explaining the standards required to rate a home or commercial building for “greenness.”
“A point system is used to rate energy efficiency, water use, materials, construction waste disposal and much more,” he says. “It is an extensive process.”

A Tulsan and Oklahoma State University graduate, Immel moved to Colorado and sold real estate in the mountains for eight years.
“Because of the location, many of the homes had to be innovative about energy and water because they were off the grid,” says Immel.
That piqued his interest, so when he moved to Denver, Immel began to apply what he’d learned in the mountains to urban areas, and it was there he was introduced to information about LEED certification.
Burton’s conversion was accidental.
“I finished a tour with the Navy in 2000 and realized around 2007 that my time to take advantage of the GI Bill was running out,” he says.
While working full time with the responsibilities of a growing family, he started night school at the OSU-Tulsa campus majoring in environmental science, although he wasn’t sure what direction he’d take with the degree. Gradually, Burton became interested in the concept of sustainable building.
At the same time, the house next door to him, previously owned by a hoarder, continued to deteriorate, unoccupied for nearly eight years due to a mix-up in records that identified the home’s owner. Although most of the neighbors thought the house should be demolished, Burton was intrigued about renovating it using sustainable, often called “green,” building standards.
Burton and his wife, Amy, were eventually able to purchase the home in Tulsa. It was built in 1941 with three bedrooms and one bath, plus a screened in side porch. There is also a studio apartment over the garage.
Because of the dilapidated state of the house, Burton’s first step was to clear the house in order to begin the remodel. Blue barrels lined the front of the house as Burton focused on recycling as much as possible. Waste management is a big part of LEED and NAHB certification. By the time the renovation was over, Burton had been able to direct more than 5,000 pounds of metal and 2,000 pounds of cardboard away from landfills.
Burton partnered with locally owned Harley Hollan Companies, which hauls away recyclable materials from building and renovation sites, including asphalt, shingles, sheetrock and wood.
Burton also discovered another Tulsa resource, ReRock Materials, Inc., which he had tear out and dispose of the broken concrete driveway.
“Instead of just taking the load to the landfill, I had it delivered to the rock crushing site,” says Burton.
And Reclamation Station, a local architectural salvage company, also assisted in removing, repurposing and recycling an enormous amount of materials not reused, including the original single-pane windows and the 1970s-era storm windows.
“We worked with many local suppliers, and because of the publicity this project received, we were often able to purchase building products at a discount,” says Burton.
Where he chose to invest in a higher priced product because of design, were the windows.
“If you look at the old windows, the top was a divided light style,” he says. “And the only true divided light windows we could find are wood.”
The couple chose Pella’s Architect Series Low-E, double pane, double hung argon gas filled windows.
And because natural light helps reduce energy costs during the day, the Burtons installed five Solatubes throughout the home. Newer models also come equipped with nighttime and dimmer switches. And all other recessed lighting used LED light bulbs that last longer and use less energy.
More than 50 percent of the original wood floors were salvaged and reused. The metal roof has a 50-year warranty. And to conserve water, low flow toilets were installed and drought resistant plants were selected.
The original design of the house was typical of that era – the living room and dining room ran across the front of the house with the kitchen and a bedroom on one side and two bedrooms and a single bath on the other. Burton opened up one side of the house for an open living, dining and kitchen area. The screened in porch was enclosed and is part of the master bedroom; a master bath was added.
Even with the added space, the home is still a compact 1,426 square feet for the family of five. So, to maximize space, shelving was installed around the room near the ceiling for trophies and other kid collections. The original doors were used, but to conserve space, they were installed as pocket doors – sliding doors that disappear when fully open.
Jay Rambo Co. supplied the kitchen cabinets using bamboo by Plyboo on the exterior and low formaldehyde-emitting fiberboard for the interiors. They are one of the few cabinet manufacturers in Oklahoma who qualify for the Kitchen Cabinet Manufactures Association’s Environmental Stewardship Program. The countertop is concrete made with 75 percent recycled clear glass.
Burton will always have a personal attachment to this house, since the residential retrofit served as the basis of his extensive report – the final requirement to achieve his Master of Science in Environmental Science from OSU. But with a growing family, he knows before long he will probably need more space.
“This will be an easily maintained, energy efficient home for other families to enjoy for decades to come,” he says proudly.
And while there is a growing demand for green homes, not everyone is concerned about their residence being certified.
