Ryan Payne became owner and operator of long-time Claremore funeral home in October. By Carol Beck-Round When Ryan Payne began a parttime job at 19, he didn’t know it would one day lead to a career in the funeral home business. Payne, born and raised in Rogers County, was a college student when he began working at the Musgrove-Merriott-Smith funeral home. On October 1, 2013, he officially became the owner and operator of the oldest funeral home in Rogers County after long-time owner Jim Smith and his wife/business partner, Cindy Smith, retired. Previously enrolled at Northeastern State University, Payne transferred to Will Rogers Junior College – now RSU – when he was hired by the funeral home in 1994 to do lawn care and maintenance, clean cars and sometimes help with visitations. “I was doing work that no one else had time to do,” he says. Although Payne enjoyed the job, he says, “Basically, it was a way to help pay my way through college.” A biology major, Payne soon discovered he loved helping people and assisting with funeral services. “When I started helping out with the services, I found I enjoyed it. It didn’t take too long for me to realize I wanted this to be my

full-time career.” Prior to this realization, Payne was considering a career with the Corp of Engineers – “At least, I had that in the back of my mind,” he says. “I’ve always loved science, especially wildlife biology.” After receiving his associate’s degree in biology from WRJC, Payne enrolled at the University of Central Oklahoma, where he earned his degree in mortuary science in 1997. Between his days at WRJC and UCO, Payne spent a year interning at Musgrove. “It was a state requirement for me to get my funeral license, so it was just kind of understood that I’d return full-time to the funeral home after college. After UCO, I went to work there full-time, beginning my career in this business.” Payne attributes his success to mentors Paul Merriott and Jim Smith. “They shaped my career,” he says. “Paul offered good advice and Jim always let me ‘find my way.’” According to Payne, “Jim would let me try new things and if they worked out fine, go ahead and keep doing them. If they didn’t work out, Jim told me to (continued on page 24)

Ryan Payne is the new owner of MMS-Payne Funeral Home. Payne took over the reins after purchasing Musgrove-MerriottSmith in October, 2013.

ASK THE MONEY MAVEN STRAIGHT-FORWARD, NO-NONSENSE TALK ABOUT YOUR MONEY

YOUR RETIREMENT 'BUCKET LIST': FIVE THINGS YOU MUST DO BEFORE YOU RETIRE BY MELANIE HASTY-GRANT

Bucket List #1 Complete a Financial Assessment. It is no fun to be retired and not have enough money. One of the biggest questions that pre-retirees have is...Will I have enough money to last throughout my retirement? Working with a trusted financial professional can help you to determine if the savings you have will be enough or if you need to be saving more. IT MATTERS who you trust and who you work with. This is usually a lifetime relationship, and it needs to be with someone that you work well with and that will spend the time needed to make your financial life successful. Bucket List #2 Redefining Your Identity. Redefining yourself is one issue many of our retirees have told us they face. Who am I if not for my job title or company position? Developing a "you are more than what you do" attitude helps to make this change. Think of how you might transfer skills of your current job into hobbies, volunteerism, or a part-time job. Bucket List #3 Find a purpose for your life.

Develop a bucket list of 100 things or more you would like to do during your retirement. New goals and dreams are important during this time to provide purpose and stability of identity. Develop a sense for how you will create meaning in your life. Bucket List #4 Think About How You Want to Spend Your Time. There is a lot more freedom of time when retiring. Retirees often fantasize about having so much free time to do hobbies, etc. Initially, the fantasy becomes reality and it feels exactly as they had envisioned. However, eventually having a routine helps to normalize the transition. We encourage clients to start "practicing" being retired. Start doing some of the things on a daily

basis that you plan to do in retirement. Bucket List #5 Be Proactive about Potential Changes in Relationships. Often there are changes in relationships between spouses, children, and grandchildren. For spouses, often spending 24/7 together is taxing and if one spouse has always been at home, there can be "turf wars" about who is in charge of what. Also, not having the social time with co-workers in the break room is a change. If one is used to having a lot of their social interaction needs met at work, then this can be a challenge. We encourage clients to be proactive in addressing changes in relationships and expectations. I hope you find this information helpful in preparing for this wonderful time in your life.

to order the socks. There is also a variety of clothes available for the cute, button-eyed animals, or Dormier can teach customers to make those as well. Fabrics and yarns are available for purchase in the store for only 25 cents an ounce. Dormier also offers doll clothes, quilts, some crocheted items and hand-made reusable shopping bags. She offers the green shopping bags at a discounted rate for groups to use as a fundraising project, and she can teach customers how to make them as well. “The reusable shopping bags are very popular right now,” said Dormier. “I have tons of fabrics to choose from here in the store, so I think it’s a great way to give back to the community by creating something everyone can use. The students or civic groups can get them at a very low cost and then re-sell them to make money for their organizations.” Dormier also takes consignments on other handcrafted and rescued items. Consignments are done on a percentage basis for a limited number of items, or in exchange for crafters working in the store. Vendor booths are also available. Additionally, Country Grannie’s Play House will begin holding yard sales every weekend in the spring. There is also a room in the back of the house that is available for members of the community to reserve for parties. And there will soon be kitchen facilities available for

the BBringing Community Together Country Grannie’s Play House now serves the Inola community from a new location. By Cassie Woods

At Country Grannie’s Play House in Inola, rescued and handcrafted items are the specialty. Owner Carolyn Dormier loves to bring life back to nostalgic pieces she has collected along the way, as well as create new items using the crafting supplies found in her store front. The store was recently relocated to its new location on Broadway after Dormier found the perfect little house she could transform into her thrift store paradise. Having purchased the new property just a few months ago, she

and her husband have been cleaning and remodeling it room by room to expand on the vision for Country Grannie’s Play House. “We were very excited that we were able to obtain this property at a fairly low cost,” said Dormier. “I expect the business to grow as we continue to refurbish the rooms in the house.” Customers will find lots of rescued thrift store type items as they browse through the rooms of Country Grannie’s Play House. A staple in the store, and one of

the things it is best known for, are the popular, handcrafted sock monkeys available for purchase. They can be fashioned from socks of all sizes and patterns and make great gifts. “I really enjoy teaching others to make the sock monkeys,” said Dormier. “Individuals or groups are welcome to stop by anytime for a lesson in how to put one together. The instruction is free and the material cost is minimal.” For those customers who may want to try a hands-on project, but aren’t completely sure of themselves just yet, Dormier offers the option of finishing a sock monkey from partially constructed patterns. Customers can pick out an unfinished sock monkey body and Dormier will teach them how to fill it with stuffing and stitch up the openings. She can even do the final sewing for them. Monkeys created by Dormier range in price from $10 to $25, and come in a variety of sizes, depending on the sock size. For specialty monkeys, there is a two-week notice requested to give time

those who reserve the room. “I would love to see people bring their friends in for crafting parties, as well as using the space for birthday parties or family reunions,” said Dormier. “We really just want it to serve the community’s need for a meeting space for whatever they may have going on.” She also has added TVs and Wi-Fi to the craft room with the hopes of appealing to a younger audience. Vendors who may not want to set up a booth are welcome to drop in and use the space to list their items on eBay and Etsy free of charge. “I really like to think of this business as a service to the community,” said Dormier. “My goal is to get the younger people in the community to come in here and use the building.” Country Grannie’s Play House is a great place for just about anyone. You can simply browse Dormier’s thrift store finds, check out made-in-Inola handcrafted items by other vendors, pick out the perfect sock monkey for a gift or learn how to craft something yourself.

CCommunication and Security Solutions Call DLSS Systems and Tel-Star Technologies for solutions to your technology and security concerns, including video surveillance and phone and computer networking.

By Christopher Davis

DLSS Systems and Tel-Star Technologies provide a variety of custom communications and technology solutions, ranging from security and video surveillance, phone and computer networking, to system integration. As longtime friends, both Kevin Dyson and Mike Eubanks worked as managers for large technology companies. As the industry swallowed up smaller companies throughout the 1990s, a void

was left in this region. In the late 90s and into the new millennium, Dyson and Eubanks found a natural synergy between their companies that enhanced their teams’ abilities to deliver stellar service on major technology systems. Whether the project is largescale, such as with casinos, or smaller residential endeavors, DLSS Systems and Tel-Star Technologies have earned a reputation for excellence where the high-tech world

Mike Eubanks, Megan Eubanks and Kevin Dyson of DLSS Tel-Star Systems.

crosses paths with consumer problem solving. “If it’s low-voltage, we do it,” says Kevin Dyson, summing up DLSS Systems and Tel-Star Technologies complex services in a simple sentence. The partner companies operate as one and specialize in customized systems of all sorts. Phone systems – including private branch exchange (PBX), computer networks, lighting and sound, video, surveillance and alarm systems are all services provided by the experts at DLSS and Tel-Star. Big or small, if it relies on wires or Wi-Fi, Dyson and Eubanks’ team can help you get the most from your technology.Systems operate without the need of a land line phone service. One of the more popular services they provide is lighting and sound system integration and automation. “We don’t want to walk into a building and see a lighting system and say ‘Wow, who did this?’ We want to be the ones installing these systems that wow people,” says Mike Eubanks. And DLSS Systems and Tel-Star Technologies do,

indeed, install some dazzling systems. Their custom integrated lighting and sound systems have brought life to casinos, hotels and even smaller private residences. Automated systems put monitoring and control of lighting, appliances, sound systems and security systems right in the palm of one’s hand. Their integration systems have an application for smartphones and tablets that allow the owner to unlock doors, turn lights off or even turn the sprinklers on. Such user-friendly technology is not only convenient, but increases the effectiveness of security systems as well. Safety and security is a concern for everyone. Providing turnkey systems for residential, business, industrial and educational facilities, the company works with each client to ensure their building is secure and manageable. Customizing each security system to suit the needs of the facility, DLSS and Tel-Star provide local and national monitoring, maintenance and response coordination. Customers will not find many details about security systems

on their website, however, because DLSS and Tel-Star want to stay a step ahead of the criminals. Dyson and Eubanks will be happy to share their comprehensive approach to maintaining safety in person, though. This local, individualized approach is part of the company’s success. “The trend with the larger security companies is to go out and win as many accounts as possible,” says Dyson. “We don’t view our customers as numbers; we build relationships. That's why DLSS Tel-Star was selected as Tulsa's Best for 2013.” For clients who like to do business with names, not call centers, Kevin Dyson and Mike Eubanks are available. DLSS Systems and Tel-Star Technologies provide information and resources at www.dlsspro.com and www.tel-startech.com.

BBringing Broadway to Broken Arrow The Ten Tenors kick off a new year singing Broadway’s greatest hits at the Broken Arrow PAC.

By Christina Dixon

Continuing its fifth anniversary season, the Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center kicks off 2014 with internationally acclaimed singing sensation The Ten Tenors, who will be celebrating Broadway’s greatest hits on Jan. 24 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets range from $20 to $60 and are available at www.brokenarrowpac.com or (918) 259-5778. “This incredible live experience from one of the hardest working touring acts is an absolute must-see,” BAPAC Executive Director Mark Frie said. “The Ten Tenors have a unique approach to combining a mixture of rock and classical music with some of Broadway’s greatest tunes, resulting in a sound that is uniquely theirs.” This musical ensemble shot to international fame during a guest spot on Oprah Winfrey and hasn’t stopped since. Amidst incredible international success, this Australian troupe has performed an average of 250 shows per year across seven

continents. Continually striving to challenge themselves and their audience, they have sold over 3.5 million concert tickets, have four gold CDs and two platinum, as well as two gold DVDs and one platinum. “The Ten Tenors respectfully tip their hats to their classical roots and share with audiences unique renditions of the genre’s best pieces, but they also push the boundaries of what it means to be a tenor and to sit in the classical genre in today’s world,” according to The Ten Tenors website. The Ten Tenors will lend their talent and individuality to a collection of Broadway’s most loved classics, including “The Impossible Dream” from “Man of La Mancha,” “Music of the Night” from “Phantom of the Opera” and “Bring Him Home” from “Les Misérables.” Closing out Broken Arrow PAC’s fifth anniversary is the Oklahoma debut of the new Broadway smash “Bring It On: The Musical” on Feb. 18 and Tony-Award®

winning Best Musical “Memphis” on April 22. On Feb.18, the BAPAC theatre will be full of explosive dance and aerial stunts as “Bring It On: The Musical” presents a night sprinkled with sass. Inspired by the 2000 film “Bring It On,” this musical will take the audience on a high-flying journey through friendship, forgiveness and determination. It tells the story of the chal-

lenges and unexpected bonds formed through the thrill of extreme competition, which is sure to be everything the audience hoped for and nothing like they expected. April 22 brings awardwinning “Memphis” to Broken Arrow from the underground dance clubs of 1950s Memphis, Tennessee. A winner of four 2010 Tony Awards including Best Musical, “Memphis” bursts

off the stage with explosive dancing, irresistible songs and a thrilling tale of fame and forbidden love. Inspired by actual events, “Memphis” is about a radio DJ who wants to change the world and a club singer who is ready for her big break. Come along on their incredible journey to the ends of the airwaves– filled with laughter, soaring emotion and roof-raising rock ‘n’ roll. Tickets are available now at the BAPAC Box Office located at 701 South Main in downtown Broken Arrow or by phone at (918) 259-5778, Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Patrons can also visit the BAPAC Facebook page at facebook.com/ brokenarrowpac for show updates and more.

SSave for a Purpose RCB Bank offers easy tips to save for your next big purchase.

By Jocelyn Wood

Budgeting – a scary word that stirs up anxiety, fear and possibly failure. Each year, I create an extensive spreadsheet to track my spending habits, telling myself this is the year I

will save more money. I add formulas and worksheets so I can enter data easily and see exactly where my money is spent. I also use online tools to track my expenses. I cate-

gorize, set budgets, download apps and set up text alerts to inform me when I go over budget. This is all well and good until life in the New Year catches steam and my

spreadsheet becomes a painstaking chore by March and the whole budget abandoned by April. “Motivation to keep saving is all about the end goal,” says Jill Dail, RCB Bank employee and avid Disney World vacationer. “If you keep in mind where your money is going (that you’re saving) and how much fun you’ll have when you get to spend it, it will be worth keeping up with the savings.” Dail shares her savings strategy that she and her husband use to plan for their annual trip to the Magic Kingdom. Successful savings starts with a clear goal. A trip, a car, retirement or an emergency fund; what’s your purpose for saving? Now: Write it down. “Physically writing down your goal creates an affirmation in your mind that you can continue to save money and will be able to reach your goal,” Dail says. Do a little research. What are the costs associated with your goal? For Dail’s Disney trip, she gathers prices for plane tickets, park fees, hotel and food. “Once I realize how much I will need, I divide it by 12 months to see what my average monthly savings should be to obtain that goal,” she says. Plan your savings strategy. How do you plan to save? Dail encourages you to think of ways to set your savings on auto drive. Many banks offer online banking services that allow you to

Page 11

schedule auto-debits and transfer money between accounts, ridding yourself of the worry that you’ll forget to transfer the money or spend it before you save. “We also set up a separate checking account that earns interest each month based on our balance; we’re making money by saving money,” Dail says. Create a financial checklist to record your progress and stay motivated. It can be as simple as a Word document. List your starting balance. Add in your contributions each month and subtract your expenses. “If I know I’m going to make a large purchase in the future, I use this plan,” Dail says. “Works every time and allows me to be financially in control of those big ticket items. By the time our trip rolls around, I have plenty of money to enjoy it without feeling a pinch on my wallet.” This year, start saving with a purpose and gain financial control of your money. You can download Jill Dail’s Financial Checklist at our Newsroom. Go to www.RCBbank.com and select Newsroom for this and many other financial articles.

HHonoring the Spirit of the American Indian Don’t miss the Greater Tulsa Indian Art Festival January 31-February 2, 2014 at the Glenpool Conference Center.

By Sheryl Sowell

The Greater Tulsa Indian Art Festival will be held January 31 through February 2, 2014 at the Glenpool Conference Center, located at Highway 75 and 121st Street. The festival is a national premiere juried art show showcasing Native art, cuisine and entertainment. As a showcase of fine art and tradition honoring the spirit of the American Indian, the event features an art market, cultural demonstrations, storytelling, American Indian food, a student art exhibit, cultural demonstrations and music. The Greater Tulsa

Jeri Redcorn, Honored Elder Artist for the Greater Tulsa Indian Art Festival.

Closed 1st January & 2nd

Indian Art Festival is a nonprofit organization sponsoring scholarships in visual and performing arts to qualified American Indian and Canadian Status Indian students. Jeri Redcorn, Caddo artist, is the Honored Elder Artist for the festival. Raised in Colony, Oklahoma on her Caddo father’s cotton farm, and working with her seven brothers and sisters, Jeri felt close to the earth. Sometimes too close, it seemed: chopping and pulling cotton, crawling in the rows of dirt. But the hard work allowed her to appreciate the closeness of women who dug clay to make the pots that became her passion. A self-taught potter, Jeri uses the techniques of her ancestors. Since she is reclaiming this lost art, she imagines what their tools were. She hand coils, burnishes engraves and wood fires her pots. See more about her amazing pottery at www.redcornpottery.com. Suzan Shown Harjo (Cheyenne and Hodulgee Muscogee) is the Poet in Residence for the 2014 Greater Tulsa Indian Art Festival. Harjo is a poet,

writer, lecturer, curator and policy advocate who has helped Native peoples recover more than one million acres of land and numerous sacred places. She serves as President of the Morning Star Institute, a national Native American rights organization based in Washington, D.C. Harjo has developed important federal laws protecting Native sovereignty, arts and cultures, language, and human rights. She helped found the National Museum of the American Indian and has worked for several White House administrations. Brent Learned, an awardwinning and collected Native American artist from Oklahoma, is the festival’s 2014 featured artist. He is an enrolled member of the Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma. Brent draws, paints and sculpts the Native American Indian in a rustic impressionistic style. He has always appreciated the heritage and culture of the American Plains Indian, and tries to create artwork to capture the essence, accuracy and historic authenticity of their way of life. Although Brent has many different styles, he is typically known for his use of bold vibrant colors. Brent’s

Compete or Eat at Soul Food Cook-Off The annual event will be held at the Muskogee Civic Center January 18, 2014.

By Sheryl Sowell

The Dr. Martin Luther King Soul Food Cook-Off will take place at the Muskogee Civic Center, January 18, 2014. So far, nearly 100 chefs have registered for the event and will prepare their delicious soul food cuisine for thousands of attendees to enjoy. “The Dr. Martin Luther King Soul Food Cook-Off is

the perfect venue to celebrate the rich African American heritage of soul food,” says Cassandra Gaines, event creator and marketing director of the Muskogee Civic Center. “Soul food is simply comfort food made from scratch – sweet potato pie, smothered chicken and rice, smothered pork chops,

Enjoy delicious meats, vegetables, desserts, breads and more made by the finest soul food chefs around at the soul food cook-off.

homemade macaroni and cheese, greens, hot water corn bread, candied yams, peach cobbler. We bring together a diverse community of people who enjoy the tradition of enjoying good food together and having fun.” One of Cassandra’s responsibilities as marketing director of the Civic Center is to host multicultural community events. In 2004, she had the idea for a soul food cook-off to commemorate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The idea quickly caught on and is now spreading across the country. In each city, the event has featured some of the finest local chefs, until now unheralded, serving soul food to a sell-out crowd. Chefs from around the state and country are invited to participate in the cook-off. Categories include meats; vegetables; desserts; homemade breads; and miscellaneous homemade items, such as pickles, pickled okra, jellies, jams, hot sauce and barbecue sauce. Cash prizes will be awarded to first, second

and third place winners in each category. “We have even more people participating this year because the prize money is so high. The prize for first place in both the meat and dessert categories is $1,000. The winners for best vegetables, homemade bread, and the miscellaneous category each receive $100," says Cassandra. A cash prize for best booth decoration and costume will also be awarded. “Anybody who thinks they can cook is welcome. We have cooks of all ages and from all walks of life,” Cassandra explains. “We have many first-timers and many who return year after year.” The judging panel for the cook-off consists of professionals who either own or manage a restaurant. “The judges are different every year, and the cooks do not know who the judges are. It’s a fair game for everyone,” Cassandra says. “There is also a people’s choice award so those who attend can vote for their favorite dish.” If you’re not the best

cook but love some good soul food, admission to the event is $8, and includes all the delicious food you can handle. “This family-friendly event is guaranteed to produce fond memories and plenty of full stomachs,” says Cassandra. The Dr. Martin Luther King Soul Food Cook-Off will be held Saturday, January 18 at the Muskogee Civic Center, located at 425 Boston St. The afternoon features great food, fun, cash prizes and an educational component regarding the history of soul food and cooking tips from some of the country’s top chefs.

Vendors Wanted for Spring Show “do it yourself” seminars and hundreds of new garden and patio products – everything you need to create or remodel your dream home in one location, according to the show’s organizers. Hammett House owner and chef Bill Biard is one of the scheduled celebrities who will be taking the stage for cooking demonstrations during the threeday event. Claremore Progress readers chose the Hammett House as the 2013 Reader’s Choice Best Restaurant in Rogers County. With over 140 booths available, both inside and outside the Expo Center, the committee lined up to organize and promote this year’s show are now seeking vendor applications for the 2014 show. “Vendors, as well as those who wish to sponsor the show, can go to our website to download an application,” says Knapp. “We have assembled a great team to make this year’s show one of the best.” Chris Burdan, with

BancFirst, has always been a big supporter of the Rogers County Builders Association. “I’ve been a member of the show committee for 10 years and always look forward to helping make the show a success,” she says. Another committee member, Ann Baker, 2013 copresident of the Master Gardeners Association of Rogers County, also plays a big role in the success of the event. John Haase, horticulturist educator with the OSU Extension Office in Rogers County, will once again be presenting several gardening seminars during the three-day show. He says, "We've worked closely with the Rogers County Builders Association on the design of the show since its inception in 1988. We are excited to be partnering with them again this year." Knapp adds, "I look forward to working with Ann and John again." Other 2014 committee members include Laurel DeLammermore, executive offi-

cer of the RCBA. “I started as a volunteer with the show three years ago,” she says. “I’m excited for this year’s event.” Claremore Expo Center General Manager Ron Burrows is also returning to the team to help coordinate this year’s show. “We worked together well last year and I’m looking forward to working with Ron again this year,” says Knapp. “He is an asset to our team.” This year’s show will be heavily promoted as Fox 23 in Tulsa and Driven Digital, a full-service digital marketing agency, have been hired by the committee to promote the show, making it an effective venue for vendors who want to showcase their business. “As the official digital marketing agency for the 2014 Rogers County Home and Garden Farm and Ranch Show, you can expect a new look for the show and an all-new experience,” says Anthony William Tucker, Chief Strategy Office at Driven Digital. The year’s show theme is, “Improve Yours,” according to

MMS-Payne Welcomes New Ownership learn from it and not do it again, but he never made me feel inadequate. He gave me a lot of free rein and when it came time for me to take over, I was prepared.” About six years ago, Payne bought into the MusgroveMerriott-Smith business. At that time, owners Jim and Cindy Smith announced they would be retiring. Officially, the Smiths retired on September 30, 2013. “That date is significant,” says Payne, “because it marked 43

years to the day they started in the funeral business.” Payne emphasizes the comfortable transition from funeral director to owner/director, citing his experience and long-time staff members who have kept things running smoothly. “We are fortunate to have long-time experienced staff members,” he says. “All of our employees are from this area and have been encouraging and supportive of my transition to director and funeral home

owner, now known as MMSPayne Funeral Home & Cremation Service.” Long-time employees at the Claremore funeral home include Denise Adamson, funeral director; Charlie Bray, assistant funeral director and Frank Friedemann, director of family services. Allen McElwain, an experienced funeral director, recently joined the staff. Susan Bickford, office manager at the Chelsea funeral home, and June Medlock, the Inola office

continued from page 1 manager, are also long-time employees. “We plan to continue providing the exceptional service that the people of Rogers County have come to expect from this funeral home,” Payne adds. “We have the most experienced licensed funeral staff in this county.” Payne and his wife Brandi live in Claremore with their three daughters, ages six, three and five months.

Helping Adults Turn A New Leaf A New Leaf, Inc. finds full-time employment for adults with developmental disabilities.

Hannah Scott found full-time employment at Inola Public Schools with the help of A New Leaf.

www.ValueNews.com

By Jordan Didier

Currently, in the Tulsa metropolitan area, there are approximately 24,000 individuals with a developmental disability. Unfortunately, only 1,000 of those individuals are employed, which means the remaining 23,000 individuals are sitting at home isolated from society and the community in which they live. A local non-profit, A New Leaf, is on a mission to change that startling statistic and get individuals with developmental disabilities employed in their communities at a competitive wage. Each day, the service provided to individuals with developmental disabilities from A New Leaf transforms each individual’s life and allows them the opportunity to contribute to their community, form a peer group, and be a productive member of society. Hannah Scott, a lifelong resident of Inola, earned employment at a competitive wage as an administrative and janitorial assistant at the Inola Public Schools. Hannah started receiving vocational services from A New Leaf right out of high school. Through the DRS/Vocational Rehabilitation program, Hannah worked diligently to develop skills and traits to earn full-time employment after one year of vocational services at A New Leaf. Currently, Hannah works with an employment consult-

ant in order to learn the ins and outs of her job. After three months, Hannah will no longer need the assistance of her employment consultant, and she will be working independently. Hannah has a variety of duties at her job. She washes windows, mops floors, cleans restrooms, and performs administrative duties in the office. When asked what Hannah loves most about her job, she said, “I love working at Inola Public Schools because I attended and graduated from Inola.” Hannah also stated that she is saving her money to achieve a goal of attending Georgia State University in Atlanta. Mary C. Ogle, Chief Executive Officer of A New Leaf, and her staff could not be more proud of Hannah. “Hannah’s story is why we do what we do at A New Leaf. Hannah is proof that individuals with developmental disabilities are educated and equipped to perform any job and desire employment, just like you and I do,” she said. A New Leaf, a Tulsa Area United Way agency, provides individuals with developmental disabilities with marketable job training through horticultural therapy, community-based vocational placement, and residential services to increase their independence and individual choices. Nearly 100 individuals receive

vocational services from A New Leaf every day. Individuals work at A New Leaf’s six greenhouses growing and cultivating plants from seedlings, two public retail garden centers working on the register, selling plants, and interacting with customers, or on wholesale routes where individuals have the opportunity to sale plants to area florists. In addition, individuals also operate and work on janitorial crews in the community, provide plant maintenance to area businesses, and work at area businesses in the community such as hotels, churches, daycares performing a variety of services. A New Leaf is located at 2306 S. 1st Place in Broken Arrow. Founded in 1979, A New Leaf, Inc. provides programming in a greenhouse environment serving as a vocational training center for adults with developmental disabilities. A New Leaf, Inc. is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization funded by sales to the public, Tulsa Area United Way and private contributions.

AA Blend of Science and Art Glow Medical Aesthetics provides clients medical-grade skin care for a more youthful appearance. By Duane Blankenship

Jenny Guthrie, APRN CNP, offers her clients a unique boutique experience with niche market skin care and medical cosmetic procedures.

a natural appearance, which most of my clients want,” says Jenny. “Skin treatments, chemical peels and antioxidants are some of the tools I use to attain this goal.” All of these are non-surgical procedures and none are permanent. “They provide me the ability to accomplish our combined objectives by blending art and science. I feel I am able to provide clients a truly different level of care.” Glow Medical recently added MicroDot, automated Micro Needling (also known as Collagen Induction Therapy or CIT). The process is a new innovation in aesthetic medicine for the treatment of fine lines, acne scars and improvement of the skin’s texture, tone and color. During the procedure, tiny needles are used to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin in order to produce collagen and elastin. The skin’s repair process results in a thicker dermis with softer wrinkles. MicroDot also creates microchannels which allow topical gels, creams and serums to be absorbed more effectively, enhancing their effects in deeper layers of the skin.

Jenny Guthrie, owner of Glow Medical Aesthetics, is an advanced practitioner registered nurse with a specialty in medical grade skin care, Botox cosmetics, and cosmetic fillers. Jenny has been a nurse for 17 years, a nurse practitioner for 12 years, and owner of Glow Medical Aesthetics for five years. She aids clients with skin care and anti-aging techniques in her office’s boutique setting with a medical focus. When you schedule an appointment with Jenny, she will do an assessment, review your medical history and develop an individualized treatment plan utilizing a blend of science and art based on your goals and budget. “I don’t do ‘fluff,’” says Jenny. “I understand the scientific principles of the products and techniques I employ and know why each works. My ultimate goal is to create a facial balance, making each client happy with the results.” Jenny says she has fostered loyalty and trust with her loyal fan base by restoring them with more youthful appearances. “I work hard to promote

There are many benefits to the MicroDot technique including wrinkle reduction, texture, tone improvement and softer, younger-looking skin with fewer signs of aging. MicroDot is a surface treatment with the benefits of laser, but without the downtime. “Science continues to refine this very precise treatment and I am seeing amazing results with it,” says Jenny. Glow Medical Aesthetics treats women and men. The advanced technique of underthe-skin cosmetic fillers decreases wear and tear on the skin while it softens age lines. While Botox does not treat volume loss, cosmetic fillers do, while providing a more youthful appearance.
