TUESDAYS IN THE PARK JUNE 2018

BY JANIE GREEN

T

uesdays in the Park, presented

by ARTSOK-The Regional Arts Alliance of Broken Arrow, is a long-running success for arts in Broken Arrow. Each Tuesday evening in June, 7 - 9 pm, a musical performance is presented on an outdoor stage in Central Park, 1500 S. Main St. The grassy slope of the park provides an excellent amphitheater for the crowds relaxing and listening...and often dancing.

Tuesdays in the Park is free to attend and appropriate for families.

The Rose District in Downtown Broken Arrow offers visitors a great opportunity to spend extra time shopping and enjoying the vibrant community. USA Today has listed the Rose District as Oklahoma’s entry for “Charming Main Streets Across the US”, so don’t miss the chance to check it out before the concert.

Music lovers are encouraged to bring blankets or folding chairs.

Attendance ranges from 350 adults

to 600, but each year the event is growing. Attendees are welcome to bring their own food and drinks.

Also, a variety of food vendors are available. These generous vendors donate a portion of profits to ARTSOK to support this event.

All other expenses are funded by donors and grants. This year’s vendors include Broken Arrow Civitans famous hamburgers, Stu B Que and Kona Ice. AVB Bank is the major event donor and supporter of ARTSOK. Talented musical groups are eager to play one of these Tuesday evening concerts and music is selected for variety of styles. This is the kind of event that draws people from all over, and showcases Broken Arrow in a very upbeat way. Below are the 2018 musical groups featured.

June 12: Zodiac They remain one of the most requested bands around and were a big hit with their appearance in 2017 at Tuesdays in

the Park. Very danceable rock that is suitable for all ages.

June 19: Retro Rockets, formerly Eddie & the Ecclectics, created a triumphal comeback with a series of shows that reenergized a loyal following from its glory days at the Brook Theatre. It’s great Doo Wop, pre-Beatles Rock ‘n’ Roll with comical theatrics, one killer band and wonderful backup singers.

June 26: Weston Horn and the Hush – NOBODY is as hot as this band in this area right now.

Amazing energy and power hornband rock. They compliment their originals with many crowd favorites that include songs of the Blues Brothers among others.

Let the Hat Lady Find Your Dream Home

F

or someone who has been an entrepreneur most of her adult life, becoming a realtor wasn’t that far of a stretch. “I’ve always been a barterer,” says Dawn Seing “So real estate seemed like a very natural progression.”

Dawn had already been through real estate school some years ago as moral support for a friend but decided at that time it wasn’t what she wanted to do. Instead she sold businesses for a while. Then by chance while traveling with another friend, who was also a realtor, was told again, you should really get into this business. You are a natural at selling. I thought about it and when I returned home from that

trip I enrolled again in the real estate classes. Which had gone from 45 hours to 90 hours but I stuck it out. Fast forward 19 years, I’ve been selling homes for 10 of those at McGraw REALTORS and my most recent success has been obtaining my Brokers License.

Living in Oklahoma for the past 37 plus years and most of those in Broken Arrow has given Dawn the expertise to help families buy and sell their homes. “I get a lot of satisfaction from helping people figure out what they want in a home “the real nuts and bolts,”

BROKEN ARROW JUNE 2018

explains Dawn. After buyers give her a list of their wants and needs in a home, Dawn discusses what sorts of things on those lists that they’d be willing to live without and what things they absolutely must have. I also realize that often times the clients don’t know the answers

A lot of times clients don’t know what they want until they get out there and start looking. to these questions themselves until we actually get out there and look at a few homes. I really look and listen for what they’re telling me

Dawn Seing

verbally and non-verbally, says Dawn. She adds that it’s important to pick up on their hobbies and what they do in their spare time because these things can play a big part in what is important in a home.

Technology has definitely changed the real estate industry, but Dawn feels like it’s forced the business and the people in it to become more educated, savvy and creative. Home buyers do their own research before they even contact a real estate agent, which benefits everyone in the long run.

Dawn prides herself as the “hat lady” realtor for several reasons.

Her saying is, “I may wear many hats, but I’m never too busy for

a chat.” It’s literal, because Dawn always wears a hat. She feels it takes her back to a time when etiquette and manners were significant and she wants to remind her clients that she holds herself to that higher standard. Figuratively she wears many hats as well. Besides real estate, she is active with the Broken Arrow Chamber of Commerce, Broken Arrow Wine, Eats & Easels, which benefits Broken Arrow Neighbors, Keep Broken Arrow Beautiful, Ballroom Dancers of Tulsa, Leadership Broken Arrow and the Recycling Committee of Broken Arrow. In addition, she is an alumni of the Citizen Police Academy and the Masters Academy.

You can see why one of the first words people use to describe Dawn is “energetic”.

Helping people is what real estate is all about, according to Dawn. “My clients set my schedule. I do block time for my family, but it’s not unusual for me to meet a client at 9PM after they get off work, or on Christmas or Thanksgiving Day. I always say, if the seller will let us in, I’ll show it.”

If you’re in the market to find the home of your dreams, give Dawn Seing a call at 918-576-4358 and let her find your hat a home!

outh Pointe Chevrolet is synonymous with strong core values. Integrity, transparency, professionalism and teamwork come standard with each transaction whether purchasing a vehicle or having one serviced or repaired.

“These aren’t just words, “explains Dustin Hightower, General Manager of South Pointe Chevrolet, “It’s really a lifestyle.”

As a part of a larger cooperative, or network, of independent 14

dealerships, South Pointe is privy to a huge inventory of vehicles, both new and used. “We are the dealership that gives you more—more choices for Chevy vehicles, thus greater access to a larger selection,” states Hightower.

Customers may shop our online inventory and get pre-approval for financing online. The inventory is quality; whether it is new or used, in that the pre-owned vehicles are subject to a rigorous inspection prior, to being labeled as CPO

(certified pre-owned).

The South Pointe sales team are consistent with its core values. Each salesperson is welltrained and knowledgeable about the products being offered to their customers. Moreover, the shopping experience is lowpressure and calm. Customers are greeted, and the sales team is helpful and responsive to needs, but never pushy; always helping you with information needed to make your best buying decision.

FESSIONALISM • TEAMWORK South Pointe continues to turn one-time transactions into longterm relationships. The service department is in part the reason for returning customers. They are concerned with the customer’s needs, and strive to find a way to help them.Their mantra is, “What is the next right thing? Let’s do that.” The service staff goes above and beyond to find solutions for every situation, even offering financing options for repairs if a warranty is not available. To

further their quest for satisfied customers, every initial diagnostic test is free of charge.

One key quality unique to South Pointe is the hands-on nature of its management.

Accommodation of the customer goes beyond finding solutions for repairs and finding options to make them affordable. Drop off of a vehicle to the service department is available 24 hours per day, and a courtesy pick-up is also available.

In fact, South Pointe, uniquely tries

to make each service transaction convenient via its option for online scheduling. This allows a customer to schedule appointments for service or repair wherever they are and at any time of day, reducing a customer’s need to work around set office hours. To ensure convenience for their customers, status updates are accessible online.

Customers may check the stages of progress on their own time from theeir computer or phone.

hat’s in a name?

Everything in the roofing industry. Dun-Rite Roofing Inc.’s reputation stands out from the crowd. Established in 1992, Dun-Rite has served its customers in Oklahoma with one simple rule in mind—the Golden Rule.

“My philosophy is to treat customers as I would like to be treated, “explains Jim Murr, President and Owner of Dun-Rite. “One of my biggest pet peeves is a highpressure salesman. Your work is very important to us, but once you receive your free estimate/proposal, we will

not make follow-up phone calls unless you request them.” Dun-Rite also refuses to conduct door-to-door solicitations following area weather incidents. Instead, Murr believes that people will reach out when they need something, and Dun-Rite vows to only give them what they need rather than inflating services for a profit. Serial findings of roof damage by out-of-state or fly-bynight companies hurt the consumers, according to Murr, and can even raise their insurance premiums after the filing of an unnecessary claim.

It is this type of honesty that has

BROKEN ARROW JUNE 2018

earned Dun-Rite an A+ rating with the BBB. It is also why so many realtors prefer working with Dun-Rite rather than other roofing companies. Dun-Rite is able to provide an honest assessment of work that needs to be done, and at no charge. Dun-Rite, uniquely, does not require any upfront deposits to begin work on a roof. Instead, the invoices may be paid at the time of closing.

Dun-Rite is also a go-to with builders. In fact, one builder relocated to southwestern Oklahoma, and, after trying out other roofers, soon realized that if he wanted jobs

Am mber ber Mu be Murr dis Murr isp play pl ays a wide wi de varriety iie ety of cch hoices oi s iin n its t sho howr w oo oom m

done right, he needed to continue working with Dun-Rite.

Dun-Rite’s business stems heavily from repeat customers. Customers return for future projects or send their friends and family via word-of-mouth.

Dun-Rite Roofing has moved to a beautiful, expanded showroom located off of highway 20 in Owasso.

There is such a large variety of designer shingles from several major brands as well as different colors and designs to choose from, customers may drop by to view the selections or check out a sample book. Dun-Rite is also happy to deliver sample books to

a customer’s site of choice.

Free estimates for any job may be scheduled in-person at the showroom, by calling the office or online at www.dunriteroofing.com.

A homeowner does not need to be present at the time of the inspection.

Instead, Dun-Rite will prepare and forward the estimate following the on-site visit.

Dun-Rite has also enjoyed longstanding and loyal relationships with its employees. With several crews, Dun-Rite is second to none in quality and efficiency. Extra precaution is taken in preserving

the site during construction, such as landscaping and surrounding areas, and they are careful to clean up following completion of the job.

Giving back to the community is an important part of our business, Dun-Rite is an active member of the Chamber of Commerce, a member of the Tulsa HBA and proud supporter of the local schools and other community organizations and events.

GOING STRONG

For Sixty Years in Claremore

BY AMY BETH DOBBINS

J

ack Kissee opened the doors to the Jack Kissee Ford dealership, in the spring of 1958, just off of Main Street in Claremore. In 1963, business was bustling and there was a need for expansion. Kissee Ford moved to its location on Lynn Riggs Blvd. where it remains strong to this day. Stephen J. Kissee, Owner and son of the late Jack Kissee, is now at the wheel, steering the family business with great success.

In a time where businesses, seemingly, open and shut overnight, how has Kissee Ford thrived for sixty years? “It’s the way we treat people,” Steve explains. “The internet may have changed business for customers in terms of being able to see the availability of inventory, but the internet doesn’t change who you can trust. It’s all about relationship. We have so many repeat customers. We excel at building relationships, and we are here to stay.”

Marking milestones and going the extra distance in customer service are where the rubber meets the road at Kissee Ford, both in the showroom and the service department—from the first visit, where an individual is warmly welcomed, to servicing a vehicle long after its purchase.

Steve recalls helping make many a sixteen-year-old’s birthday very sweet. In one instance, the Kissee Ford team even coordinated with the parents to deliver a newly purchased

ride to their residence while they were out to dinner, celebrating their daughter’s birthday. When the new driver arrived home, she was met with a huge surprise, adorned with a giant bow.

The company has had many opportunities to serve several generations of families. One couple came to know and trust them so much that they literally asked Steve to find a vehicle for them, giving no specs as to what they wanted, and vowed to purchase it, unseen.

They told him that they trusted him to find whatever would best fit their needs.

Steve takes great pride in serving in a business started by his parents and in his hometown. He was raised in Claremore and graduated from Claremore High School. In 1976, after college, he returned to work for the dealership, learning the ropes from the ground up. While his natural family members are involved in the business, he explains that the employees of Kissee Ford have become his family as well.

The office manager, for instance, has been with the company since 1981. The sales manager has been a valued employee since 1989.

And the list goes on, every single member playing a valuable part of the success equation and translating into a great customer experience.

Kissee Ford is community driven

in multiple ways. It participates in Ford’s “Drive For Your School” fundraiser events for local districts, taking new vehicles to a school site. Then, Ford donates $20 to the district’s fundraiser for every test drive of a new vehicle. The dealership also awards yearly scholarships for students attending Rogers State University and supports FFA auctions along with sponsoring numerous community events.

Such a big accomplishment demands a big celebration. Jack Kissee Ford intends to celebrate its 60th on Thursday, June 28; Friday, June 29; and Saturday, June 30.

Customers can stop in and enjoy the festivities. There will be a cookout, drawings for door prizes and special pricing on all inventory, new and used—all as a giant ‘THANK YOU’ to the public for their loyalty. Kissee explains: “We are looking forward to this celebration and to show our appreciation to the customers. We want all our customers, our loyal ones and new to come out and enjoy the celebration!”

Their grand prize drawing for $5,000 off the price of a new or used vehicle will be Friday, June 29 at 6AM. You need not be present to win.

in the workplace, Alex received the coveted “Governor’s Disability Award of Excellence” in 2017.

Employee of the Year, Tracy Daubert’s story began thirty-six years ago, when she was born with a chromosomal anomaly.. Her parents were told that if she lived she would have severe intellectual disabilities and delayed development. Undaunted by this diagnosis, Traci’s parents took her home and treated her just like her sisters. With physical, occupational and speech therapies and other supports, Traci flourished.

During Traci’s senior year at Union High School, she participated in Goodwill’s Transition Work Adjustment Program. After graduation in 2000, she came to work for Goodwill’s contract services, where she participated in collating, packaging and assembly work that Goodwill performs for

local companies.

Five years later, Traci transitioned to Goodwill’s hospital enclaves, shredding confidential documents at SouthCrest Hospital, and later at OSU Medical Center. During that period, she developed social and work skills and learned how to function as a member of a team to accomplish tasks. When a new position as a member of a cleaning enclave at St. John Hospital in Broken Arrow became available, she accepted it. The job was a perfect fit for her. It challenged her to learn new work skills, while interacting with hospital personnel and members of the community. When that contract ended, she joined Goodwill’s cleaning enclave at OSU Medical Center where she continues to thrive today.

Despite what she has had to overcome, Traci always wears a smile.

She is very active and loves the

social aspect of her job, particularly the interaction with hospital staff.

She feels comfortable and at home at work with her friends and staff, and is proud that she is part of the community. “Goodwill has been such a big part of Traci’s life,” says her mother. “She has been working with Goodwill for seventeen years, and if she could work every single day she would!”

As you have read, your donations are helping people in our community overcome considerable challenges to meet their goals. Your clothing and household items can be donated at your neighborhood Goodwill donation center.

BEST FIREWORKS WITH THE LARGEST SELECTION

H

ere in North America we celebrate our freedom and those who have and do serve our great nation for that freedom. Across this nation on July 4th, celebrations will include fireworks some little, some noisy and some will create huge beautiful colors that light up the skies.

Interesting fact about fireworks.

They were discovered in China. All by accident sometime between 600-900 AD by mixing some common kitchen seasoning along with charcoal, sulfur and a few other ingredients created a form of gunpowder. Then to see how to get this formula to ignite, it was put into bamboo shoots and thrown into the fire to produce a loud blast.

There you have it, Fireworks were

born! By the Renaissance time, schools were learning how to make fireworks produce brilliant colors and booming sounds.

On July 3, 1776, the day before the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, John Adams wrote a letter to his wife in which he presaged the role of fireworks in Fourth of July celebrations. “The day will be most memorable in the history of America,” he predicted. “I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade…bonfires and illuminations [a term for fireworks] From one end of this continent to the other, from this

Never carry fireworks in your pocket.

Never shoot fireworks in metal or glass containers.

The shooter should always wear eye protection and never have any part of the body over the firework.

BROKEN ARROW JUNE 2018

O

klahoma Freewheel has a vision: “Through bicycling, Freewheel connects Oklahoma’s unique peoples, cultures, communities, and landscapes. We celebrate a happy, healthy, safe and sustainable Oklahoma.” Its mission is to “promote and strengthen cycling tourism in Oklahoma.”

And as 2018 marks Oklahoma Freewheel’s 40th year, they will bring their mission and vision to a road that is very dear to Oklahoma’s heart—Historic Route 66.

Each year, bicyclers who participate in the Oklahoma Freewheel event travel across Oklahoma during the second week of June, typically beginning near the Texas-Oklahoma border and ending up at Oklahoma’s northern border.

This year, the trip will begin on June 9 in Elk City (near the OklahomaTexas panhandle border), follow Oklahoma’s stretch of Historic 66 through Weatherford, El Reno, Luther, Bristow, Catoosa, Miami, and will culminate on June 16 in Joplin, Missouri, right across the Oklahoma-Missouri border.

Daily mileage on the ride varies from 50 to 75 miles per day with participants camping in rural Oklahoma communities each

night. This year, the bicyclists will spend the fifth night of their trip in Catoosa, where they will be greeted with shelter and refreshments before embarking on the fifth day of their seven day trip—a day in which they will pass some of Rogers County’s most historic sites, like Catoosa’s Blue Whale, Claremore’s Will Rogers Hotel and J.M. Davis Gun Museum, and Foyil’s Andy Payne Memorial.

Route 66 has been forgotten by the mapmakers; however, its history lives on in the hearts and minds of Americans who live and travel along “the Mother Road.”

The highway was built in 1926 and stretched from Chicago, Illinois to Los Angeles California. It runs like a diagonal banner across Oklahoma, from its northeast shoulder to its southwestern waistband. As Oklahoma Freewheel’s bicyclers travel through, they will be reminded that even though Oklahoma landscape changes dramatically as they cross the state, one thing does not change—the friendly and welcoming nature of the people who live here.
