Electrical transmission lines, including those running to individual structures, are the responsibility of AEP-PSO. But the service box, weather head and wires running from the meter into the structure are the responsibility of the property owner.

When PSO crews find a structure at which the service equipment is damaged or pulled loose from its mountings, they place a door-hanger at that structure advising the occupants to contact a licensed electrician to make the repairs before power can be restored.

Dealing with those problems before PSO comes through your area can save you days without power, officials say.

A list of licensed electricians is available on the City of Tulsa's website, www.tulsaworld.com/electricians.

Those without Internet access can call the Mayor's Action Center at 596-2100 to get phone numbers or contact information for licensed electricians.

Some good news: Ready for some good news?

Reid Elam, manager at Woodland Memorial Park cemetery, 1200 N. Cleveland in Sand Springs, said the cemetery's trees sustained tremendous damage in the ice storm.

Enormous limbs from 100-year-old trees broke off and fell throughout the cemetery, Elam said.

Here's the

''It's amazing you could have that much devastation and no stone was hurt,'' Elam said. ''It's like somebody's watching out for them.''

Free tree removal: Team Relief, a Tulsa-based Christian organization, is offering free branch, limb and tree removal.

The group doesn't work near power lines, but is willing to help people in need of general clean-up help from the storm.

The group is also providing free dinners each night at 6 p.m. through Saturday at Guts Church, located at the Mingo exit of the Broken Arrow Expressway.

The group's hot line is 622-4422.

Trash service: Tulsa trash collectors are running routes as scheduled.

If they can access streets and homes safely, without endangering workers or damaging equipment, residential trash will be picked up.

Many streets are crowded with tree trimmers, electrical linemen or contractors and other vehicles and equipment. Customers can place their trash containers at the curb and leave them for the next available pickup.

Recyclables will also be picked up as scheduled wherever the bins can be safely reached.

Tree debris: Tulsa residents can set tree debris by the curbside and schedule collection with Public Works. Or debris can be taken to one of the city's greenwaste sites: 1040 E. 56th St. North and on 71st Street east of Elwood Avenue.

Jenks debris: The city of Jenks is accepting tree limb debris through Dec. 24 at Park West -- accessible from 101st Street west of Elm Street or south of Main Street on Koa Street.

Limbs may be dropped off north of the Little League Football field on the west side of the street adjacent to the creek.

Residents may also place tree limbs in the public right-of-way, which is immediately adjacent to the roadway. Residents are asked not to block or cover a fire hydrant or obstruct access to a roadway mail box.

City and/or contractor crews will be collecting debris over the next two weeks as weather conditions and other repairs such as water breaks allow.

The work will be scheduled a neighborhood at a time. Any particular location that appears to have been overlooked may be reported to the city at 299-5883.

Take your kids to the aquarium: In response to the power outages, the Oklahoma Aquarium is offering free admission to all children through Sunday.

There must be at least one paying adult, and children may not be dropped off without at least one adult chaperone.

''The Aquarium has been very fortunate to not lose power, so it is warm inside,'' said spokeswoman Terry Bowers. ''We know parents and children need relief from a lack of school and electricity.

''By offering free admission to all children during the storm aftermath, we hope to provide at least a temporary safe haven, and even a bit of education while school continues to be out.''

Churches open doors: Three Tulsa churches with electrical power have announced they are providing free food and a daytime place to go for people displaced from their homes by the ice storm.

Kirk of the Hills Presbyterian, 4102 E. 61st St., opened a day shelter Thursday, offering a light breakfast, a hot meal served through the day, a place to sit and relax, television, and activity rooms for youths and children, including movies.

A game and activities area for parents with preschool children will be provided, but not "drop-off" child care.

The shelter will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. through Saturday, and longer if needed.

For information, call 494-7088, or go to www.tulsaworld.com/thekirk.

Trinity Episcopal Church, 501 S. Cincinnati Ave., will offer hot coffee and soup, cookies and a place to relax from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and Sunday until further notice. Visitors are encouraged to bring a book, cards or board games.

The International Gospel Center, 7143 E. 10th St., will offer free coffee and hot meals, including roast turkey, from 2 to 6 p.m. Saturday as an outreach to the community. The church has personally invited about 600 people from that neighborhood.

Watch out for scammers: Storms bring scammers in their wake. Here are some tips from the Better Business Bureau of Eastern Oklahoma:

Be wary of any strangers who come to the door offering to haul debris away.
• Get several estimates before signing any contract for home repairs.
• Carefully read and understand the contract, and do not sign a completion form until you are satisfied with the job.
• If a company offers a guarantee, make sure it is in writing with a clear definition of what is covered.
• Never pay a contractor for the entire job in advance, and avoid paying in cash.

Clinics open: The Tulsa City-County Health Department has two locations open, department spokeswoman Melanie Christian said.

Central Regional Health Center, 315 S. Utica Ave., and James O. Goodwin Health Center, 5051 S. 129th East Ave., are open to the public from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. with regular services available.

Also, food handler classes scheduled for Friday at the Broken Arrow Library, 300 W. Broadway Ave., have been canceled.

The health department is distributing "After the Disaster" informational booklets to area QuikTrip locations to assist residents in how to properly clean up after a disaster and how to prepare for a future event. The brochure also is available online at www.tulsaworld.com/prepare .

County parks need cleanup money: Tulsa County will need to spend at least $200,000 if it wants to get all 13 of its parks up and running again soon, Parks Director Richard Bales said Thursday.

Without the additional funds to pay for overtime and equipment, the cleanup could take six months, Bales said.

Meanwhile, the county's shelter at 2401 Charles Page Boulevard has regained power and has beds available.

Individuals needing ice storm-related assistance from the county should call 211.
