ASK THE MONEY MAVEN STRAIGHT-FORWARD, NO-NONSENSE TALK ABOUT YOUR MONEY
Before You Start Pushing Up Daisies…. Are Your Ducks in a Row? BY MELANIE HASTY-GRANT
Now, unless you plan to spend all your kids’ inheritance or you purposefully want to leave them a big mess, you need to do some proper estate planning. I can’t begin to tell you how many smart people make really dumb mistakes when it comes to trying to protect their money during their senior years and transfer it to their kids upon their death. Sometimes it is out of ignorance, and sometimes it is just trying to be pennywise and ending up pound foolish. The following are the top 7 mistakes I have seen people make: • I got my Will off the Internet. • My friend told me I should put my child on all my accounts to make sure my bills get paid if I become ill. • I have a Will, so my estate won’t go through probate. • I have a child who can’t handle money, so I am giving everything to my brother and he will take care of my child. • My situation is very simple…I don’t need estate planning. • If I leave everything to my spouse, there is no tax. • We don’t need any long term care insurance; our kids will take care of us. I have seen some pretty flubbed up estate planning. I would certainly give a second thought to doing your Will on the Internet. This is an important document and you want to pay the money to make sure it is done correctly. Unless you have a Trust, your
estate will go through probate. Please hear me…a Will does NOT exempt your estate from probate. While putting your child on your bank accounts will allow them to have access to your account to pay your bills if you become unable to do so, it can potentially be a poor choice. If your son or daughter gets in an accident and is sued and their name is on your account, it could be a bad choice. If your son or daughter gets a divorce and their name is on your account, it could be a bad choice. If your goal is for them to have access to your account to pay your bills if you become ill, you can accomplish this with a simple Power of Attorney. If your goal is for them to get the account when you die without going through probate, you can accomplish this by either setting the account up as a TOD (Transfer on Death) and it will cost you nothing, or through establishing a Trust. If one of your children can’t handle money, get a Trust. Don’t assume that your brother Billy (or his

wife) will handle everything exactly as you would like. Money has a strange way of convincing folks to do otherwise. If you leave everything to your spouse, they will still have to pay taxes on your IRA assets. However, if you choose them as the beneficiary on your IRAs, they will be able to take the money out over time rather than all at once, which will save them in taxes. You don’t want your children changing your diapers. Your spouse may not be able to take care of you. Get long term care insurance so that it doesn’t leave your spouse in poverty. Regardless of the amount of money or stuff you have, it is worth getting it to the people you would want to have it when you die. I’m sure you don’t have Uncle Sam at the top of your beneficiary list. For more information go to www.waterstonewealth.com or call 918272-1120.

220 Years of Excellence J. David celebrates 20th anniversary in the jewelry business. By Duane Blankenship
Owner Joel Wiland and his wife, Kendra, opened J. David Jewelry 20 years ago.
Twenty years ago, Joel David Wiland and his wife, Kendra, started a jewelry business in their home. “We started our business with three rings, $500 cash and a lot of faith,” says Joel. “The first year we did $6,000 in gross sales. Yes, it was a ‘gross’ year and we ate a lot of macaroni and cheese!” Today the couple has two J. David Jewelry stores located in Broken Arrow and Tulsa and a Pandora store at Woodland Hills Mall in Tulsa. The business is family owned and operated; their son Landon is the company’s marketing director. “Although we started with little,” says Joel, “God has blessed us and grown our business. Our faith has never faltered, and God has provided the lamp to light our pathway as we have taken each new step.” Joel believes that many people fail because they stand still and do nothing. “You can’t change direction if you’re not moving, and the real key to success is the ability to stay focused on that which you do best.” He and Kendra have never stood still and, consequently, have grown a highly successful business. The Wilands have built their business on service. They own
the only jewelry stores in the state with full imaging capabilities at each location. With their computer-aided cad-cam, they have the ability to design and create custom, one-of-a-kind jewelry. Once a design is completed, it is downloaded to a 3-D printer to produce a plastic mock up that is ultimately used in the production process of the custom design. J. David has four full-time custom jewelry designers. Joel says the jewelry profession is probably the oldest business in the world. “Jewelry has been around for over 6,000 years, and many in our industry continue doing things the same way simply because that’s how it’s always been done. We like to think J. David has taken a different approach.” With the 3-D printer, a customer can see, touch and feel a prototype of their custom jewelry design. Finished products are cast onsite, and then the diamonds are set. “Turnaround time is generally under three weeks when conditions are perfect,” adds Joel. Joel feels changes being made in the industry are making J. David Jewelry more relevant because of their unique products and production capabilities.
“Highest principles are the foundation upon which our business has been built,” he says. “Kendra and I make two trips each year to Antwerp, Belgium. Because we are members of the Independent Jewelers Organization, we are allowed to personally make selections from some of the world’s best diamonds, effectively cutting out the middle man.” J. David Jewelry has always been a favorite shopping destination, especially around the holidays, when the store is stocked with the latest in jewelry trends and traditions that are sure to please any recipient and your budget. For truly unique gift ideas, visit any one of the three locations to find beautiful gifts of jewelry that will last a lifetime.

Beautiful Lighted Holiday Displays for 2014 Two free drive-through events are happening in Muskogee – Castle Christmas at The Castle of Muskogee and The Garden of Lights at Honor Heights Park, open Thanksgiving Day through New Year’s Eve.
By Sheryl Sowell Celebrate the best of family holiday traditions at The Castle of Muskogee. Take a leisurely drive through Castleton Village, filled with over 2,000 holiday lighted displays. The drivethrough is free, and donations are gratefully accepted. Outside The Castle, you can take a hayride or a carriage ride through the Village, or ride the ponies or the camel. Come inside The Castle for old-fashioned family holiday activities: bring your kids to make ornaments in Santa’s workshop, warm up by the fireplace, and plan your visit with Father Christmas. Horse-drawn carriage rides
start in the parking lot of The Castle and travel through a part of the village that is not accessible to cars, so you will see different displays than on the drive-through
route. Cost is $10 per adult, $5 per child, or take advantage of the Family Pack, $25 for up to 5 people. Tractor-drawn hayrides start in the parking lot of The Castle
Plan your visit with Father Christmas, at The Castle of Muskogee.
and also travel through the village on a different route than the car drive-through. These depart every half hour. Cost is $5 per person, children 12 and under are free. Pony rides are a holiday favorite and cost $5 per child. Camel rides are a fun, exotic way to travel. Be one of the Three Kings for $5 per person. Shop local while at The Castle. Stop in for some holiday shopping with our Made In Oklahoma merchants and find something unique for yourself and your loved ones. You can also get fireworks for New Year’s Eve celebrations and items from The Christmas Shoppe for your own holiday displays. Father

Christmas will be at the Castle on Fridays and Saturdays from December 5 through December 20 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. There is no cost to talk to Father Christmas, and pictures will be available for a nominal fee. Be sure to stop into the Royal Garden Cafe for a light supper or snack, hot chocolate and treats, and great company. Sit and enjoy holiday movies for the whole family. The Castle’s additional events are open November 27-30, December 4-7 and every night December 11-31. In nearby Honor Heights Park, the Garden of Lights attracts thousands of visitors. The celebration includes a free drive-through display of over a million shimmering lights displayed throughout the park. Internationally known for its Azalea Festival, Honor Heights Park draws up to a half million visitors annually to its 122 acres, which are planted with more than 30,000 azalea bushes and thousands of trees, beautifully situated among the park’s scenic hilltop drive. Christmas lights are placed on trees, bushes and structures throughout the park to enhance the natural beauty of the gardens, waterfalls, and ponds. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. nightly, and the event is free.

Get Ready For Winter and Save! Furnace Maintenance
Repair or Replace?
Making sure your furnace is working properly is key to keeping energy costs down. Here are some things you should do every fall to make sure your furnace is running as efficiently and as safely as possible:
Knowing whether to repair or replace your furnace is not always an easy question to answer. Consider the following factors to help make your decision easier:
• Check vents to make sure they are clear. Blockages will cause the furnace to run inefficiently. • Make sure the thermostat is working properly. • Change the air filter at the start of the heating season, and monthly thereafter. • Check for gas leaks. If you notice the smell of gas, or any of the connections look worn or damaged, call a professional for repair before you start up the furnace. • If you have an electronic air cleaner, clean the air filter every other month. • Schedule an annual tune-up.
Safety first: If it is a safety hazard to continue using the furnace, replace it. Age: The average lifespan of a furnace is 15 to 20 years. How close to the end of the life cycle is your furnace? Cost: Get a quote for the cost of the repair and a quote for the cost of replacement, including installation charges to make an accurate comparison. Efficiency: Are your energy bills creeping up every year in spite of annual furnace repair and service? If your furnace is 15 years old or beyond and the cost of the repair would cover a significant part of the cost of a new system, consider replacement. Factor in the energy savings when determining the cost of a new system as upfront expenses may be recouped over time.

BBAPAC Captures Spirit of the Season Celebrate the holidays at the Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center with three upcoming shows.
By Christina Dixon It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and the Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center is spreading holiday cheer by offering three unique shows in December, including an evening with country crooner Lee Ann Womack on December 5, a Broken Arrow favorite, “A Time for Christmas 3,” starring BAPAC Executive Director Mark Frie and friends on December 13, and contemporary artist Debby Boone on December 19. “The holiday spirit is alive and well every year at the BAPAC,” said Mark Frie, executive director. “Whether we are bringing in award-winning stars from abroad or celebrating our hometown with local performers, the magic of the season is captured on our stage with shows guaranteed to get the whole family in the holiday mood.” On Friday, December 5, the BAPAC welcomes multi-award winning country artist Lee Ann Womack to the Rose District for a holiday concert for the ages. After spending many years as a professional songwriter, Lee Ann Womack became one of the most popular contemporary country artists of 1997 with her eponymous self-titled debut album.
Patios • Retaining Walls • French Drains • Leaf Removal • Lawn Maintenance • Walkways • Driveways •
From there, her success only grew with albums such as “I Hope You Dance” and “Something Worth Leaving Behind.” Presently, Womack has released six albums and has sold more than six
million worldwide. She has also been honored with five Academy of Country Music awards, five Country Music Association awards and a Grammy award. Continuing the seasonal
celebration on Saturday, December 13, Broken Arrow’s favorite holiday tradition, “A Time for Christmas 3,” returns to help spread Yuletide cheer and get patrons into the holiday spirit. Mark Frie joins an amazing group of musicians and vocalists for a trip down Santa Claus Lane, bringing together the classic carols and songs of yesterday with some of the most sacred and enduring new
tunes of today. Joining him again is wife Kim Frie, Melenda Clonts, Adam J. Foreman and many special surprises. Less than a week later, the sounds of multiple-Grammy award winner Debby Boone take the BAPAC stage on Friday, December 19. In 1997, Debby Boone earned instant fame when “You Light Up My Life” became one of the biggest songs in history, charting No. 1 on Billboard for 10 straight weeks and selling more than four million albums. That year, she received the Grammy for Best New Artist. In 2008, the song was ranked No. 7 on Billboard’s 50th Anniversary All-Time Top-Charting Songs. Tickets for all three shows are now available by phone or by visiting the box office Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Patrons can also visit the BAPAC Facebook page at facebook.com/ brokenarrowpac for show updates and more.

GGo Nuts Shopping on Route 66 Looking for tasty gifts for loved ones on your Christmas shopping list? By Carol Beck-Round If fighting crowds at the mall or big box stores for Christmas gifts leaves you stressed, then The Nut House on historic Route 66 just might be the best place to get all of your shopping done. Located south of Claremore, the store will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day, including Sundays, until Christmas.
If you’ve not checked out what this unique business has to offer, Christmas is the perfect time to grab your list and visit Hazel Ward, owner, and her staff. You’ll not only be greeted with a smile, but you’ll probably be able to cross everyone’s names off the list before leaving. With quality items for all
ages, you can fill up a basket or box – provided for you – and the staff will create a custom cellophane-wrapped gift, perfect for giving to a loved one. Premade baskets and boxes will also be available, including items that appeal to a wide audience. The Nut House is known for its fudge, available in 18 flavors.
The ladies at The Nut House on Route 66 are ready for Christmas. The Nut House is known for its vast assortment of wonderful gifts and decorating ideas. (L to R): Tina Looney, Sally McSlarrow, Leslie Ward and Jennifer Downing.
“For Christmas, we’re also adding cranberry fudge, egg nog fudge and chocolate orange swirl,” says Hazel. “We’ll also ship boxes of fudge anywhere you want us to.” All Christmas items, including whole and cracked pecans, can also be mailed anywhere. “We try to get the best shipping rate possible for our customers,” she adds. “We also have lots of beautiful ornaments for all tastes,” Hazel says. “Some like to shop and purchase a new ornament each Christmas. I would always buy a new one for my children each year.” Tree decorations available fit just about everyone’s taste, including the glitzy, the collegiate, old-fashioned and rustic, woodsy ornaments. Check out the trees on display in the store for ideas. Christmas décor runs the gamut from large snowmen, including those for OSU and OU fans, to more traditional decorations like reindeer. In fact, the store’s variety of quality gifts and décor will delight you, from the unique to the quirky, including Santa Claus cookie jars, holiday wine glasses and cozies, coffee mugs, serving dishes and candy dishes, all perfect for giving or for your own use.
Don’t have time to make a pecan or pumpkin pie for your holiday table? Call The Nut House and order yours by December 18. Need cookies? The Nut House offers snickerdoodle, chocolate chip and peanut butter. Need party trays, including meat, cheese and veggies? The Nut House can provide those too. “Whatever someone needs for their holiday parties, we can supply,” she adds. “If businesses have a corporate need for gifts, we can also fix up trays or metal tins of nuts and candy.” According to Hazel, shopping at The Nut House is a relaxing experience. “Customers should feel comfortable while shopping and not be pressured and faced with huge crowds and harried clerks.”

GGiving the
Gift of Home Choices for Life Foster Care spreads the love of the season to therapeutic foster children during the holidays and year-round. By Deanna Rebro
Many area children will not feel the love of a family this Christmas morning. They may have a tree to share with others just like them, and they will have food and safe shelter, but they won’t have the special support and care they need. Every day, Phyllis Bowen, supervisor/therapist, Choices for Life Foster Care, gets calls from DHS representatives who are desperately seeking help for special children with special needs. “Unfortunately,” says Phyllis, “I have to turn them down. We just don’t have enough foster homes.” A Christmas wish for Phyllis, the children in need, and the many counselors and professionals who serve them is that more people will try to open their homes to these kids. It is not an easy task. Every child that Choices for Life places in a home has obstacles to overcome. Some have been victims of neglect, substance abuse, domestic violence, parental incarceration,
abandonment and more. They come from across all socio-economic classes. The one thing they have in common is that they do not function like other children their age. Phyllis explains that a big mistake that many new applicants make is to treat the child like their own children. These kids have had life experiences that other children have not. Their emotions are bruised. They feel isolated. For some kids, doing well in school is the farthest thing from their minds. Foster parents with good hearts may not understand this at first. But in the eight weeks of training to become certified, they will. Beverly Litterell, statewide training and recruiter supervisor, provides some of the best parent training available. She prepares the parents or single adults for behaviors they may never have expected. A one-day seminar covers Behavior Crisis Management

Training. She also lets parents know that help is just a phone call away. A counselor or therapist is available to answer the phone 24/7. A counselor also visits each home every week. The challenge is big, but so are the rewards. Phyllis recalls several adoptions within foster families that have occurred this year. It is hard to place any child in therapeutic foster care, but teens have the hardest time. When they are placed, they are taught independent living skills. They learn how to manage money and

take driver’s education. They are enlightened to the possibilities of higher education and a career. Phyllis says several have expressed interest in working professionally with foster kids. There are other ways to help if fostering is not possible. Gift certificates are always needed for the foster families and the kids. Pizza, shopping sprees, movies and outings are greatly appreciated. Tickets to the zoo or aquarium, which are not always within budgets, are extra special. This month, Choices for Life will treat

88th Annual Live Nativity King of Kings Lutheran Church presents its annual Christmas celebration December 13 and 14.
By Sheryl Sowell As we prepare to spend the next month decorating our homes and Christmas trees and purchasing gifts for loved ones, King of Kings Lutheran Church in Glenpool calls us all to remember the true purpose of the Christmas season. In an effort to carry out the mission to celebrate the birth of Christ, King of Kings will be presenting a live nativity scene on Saturday, December 13 and Sunday, December 14 at 6 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. each night, in the field just southeast of 151st Street and Highway 75. Complete with costumed actors, sheep, camels, a donkey and a stable, the live nativity depicts the story of Christ’s birth from the angel Gabriel’s announcement to Mary, through the arrival of the three wise men. Pastor Rick Tabisz will narrate the Christmas story while the actors illustrate the journey, conflicts and celebration that the family experiences. At the end of the presentation, audience members are invited to sing “Silent Night” and warm up with hot cocoa and cookies while petting the animals and visiting with the cast. “The live nativity is a simple reenactment of the birth of Christ that everyone in the family will enjoy. Several families have told me they make this a
part of their Christmas traditions every year,” said Pat Bartley, co-chair of the public relations committee. “When we all sing together at the end of the performance, it creates a truly beautiful, peaceful feeling within.” The presentation itself will last for approximately 30 minutes, and it is performed regardless of
the plunging temperatures. Seating is provided, but Bartley urges spectators, “Please dress appropriately and bring blankets. The metal bleachers are very cold.” The live nativity takes place on 13 acres located on the southeast side of Highway 75 and 151st Street in Glenpool. Please arrive early to find seating. Porta-Potties
will also be available. This is the eighth year that King of Kings Lutheran Church has presented the live nativity. “We are a missionary church,” Bartley says. “This is our small way of sharing Christ’s love with the community. Our goal is to capture the feel of our Savior’s birth. It isn’t about commercializa-
tion; it is about the simplicity and the joy of the occasion.” This project is free to the community, and funding comes from both the congregation and Thrivent Financial, an organization that does much more than offer financial services. They also offer outreach opportunities that enable members to help their communities and congregations. “The entire presentation is a testament to the season. The volunteerism that it requires is truly indicative of the Christmas spirit,” says Bartley. “We look forward to you joining with us in thanksgiving as we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ: Son of God, King of Kings, Wonderful Counselor, Prince of Peace, and yes, the real ‘reason for this season’ of Christmas.”

Aquarium Recruits Volunteers to Get Their Feet Wet Oklahoma Aquarium volunteers gain unique experience and knowledge, and have fun at the same time.
By Christopher Davis When Ann Money first moved to the area 14 years ago to help open the Oklahoma Aquarium, there were only a handful of “land-locked” aquariums. Since its official opening in 2003, however, aquariums with no access to the ocean have grown in popularity – no doubt, in part, to the success of the facility in Jenks.
Money, the curator of education programs and research, is quick to acknowledge the secret to the Oklahoma Aquarium’s continued success: it is the love, commitment and hard work of all the volunteers who help in the galleries and behind the scenes. “The aquarium relies on volunteerism to function,” she explains. “Some of our volunteers have been with us for 13 years.”
At any given time, there are about 150 regular volunteers who help keep things flowing at the facility. And, while just over 300 volunteers are active in the program, Money says that, ideally, the aquarium would like that number to top 400. Aquarium volunteers enjoy special benefits. Aside from the obvious special access to exhibits and unique learning experience,
Aqua Agent volunteer Emma Suppes poses with a horseshoe crab.
volunteers also receive discounts at the café and gift shop, as well as behind-the-scenes tours and half price membership for their family. There are five types of volunteers at the Oklahoma Aquarium. As new volunteers gain more experience, opportunities for increased involvement and responsibility are offered. As volunteers learn more about how things work at the aquarium, special opportunities to work even more closely with the animals are offered. A select few are chosen to work behind the scenes, preparing food for the various creatures, keeping their habitats clean and assisting the professionals on staff. Aqua Agents are adult volunteers who hold down the fort and generally interact with the public the most. They work the information booth, lead teach-talks and provide support for the galleries. Anyone who has been to the aquarium recalls encountering numerous smiling faces, ready to answer a question or share interesting factoids about the creatures in the tank; these are the Aqua Agents. The Aqua Teens, aged 13 to 17, are comprised of youth who are interested in and might be considering a career in science. These volunteers work up close with exhibits, supporting staff or other volunteers. A rare opportunity for an Oklahoma teen, these volunteers learn a lot about marine life.
Tulsa Achieves volunteers are students from the Tulsa Community College program, for whom community engagement is part of their admission requirements. Since its creation in 2007, the Tulsa Achieves Program has amassed a standing army of volunteers for the community’s nonprofit organizations. “Many of these students come back each year to volunteer with us, even after they graduate.” Perhaps the most glamorous of opportunities is the Dive Program. Volunteers who have displayed the highest level of commitment and responsibility – and obtained the proper certifications – are afforded the opportunity to dive in the coral reef exhibit. “There are always two divers at a time,” notes Money, explaining that all safety precautions are taken. These divers feed and clean the large coral reef tank, sometimes even serving as entertainment for the viewers. If volunteering for the Oklahoma Aquarium sounds interesting and fun to you, simply go to their website at www.okaquarium. org and click “Get Involved” to fill out an application.

The FUTURE of Back Treatment is Here! “After having an MRI, I was diagnosed with having a herniated disc. The pain was like a knife jabbing in my buttock and down my legs. My doctor told me that I was facing surgery on my back and to prepare to spend thousands of dollars and be off work for several months. Then I found Dr. Day and heard about the success he was having treating disc problems by using a new procedure called Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression. So I decided to try it! On a scale of 1-10 my pain was an 8 when I started but after only a few weeks of treatment my pain level dropped to a 0-1. I am very happy with my treatment and am so glad I said ''No!'' to back surgery.

Donating Dental Services branch came to the executive board of the Tulsa County Dental Society (TCDS) with a plea to maintain a Tulsa office and provide local residents with donated dental services. A task force committee was established to research the feasibility of establishing a new organization in Tulsa and to determine the demand to provide local residents with donated dental services. Michael A. Kincaid, DDS, was vice president of the TCDS and acknowledged that Tulsa should have an organization to administer care for residents 65 years of age and older who were physically or mentally disabled and financially challenged. After determining the overwhelming need for an active Tulsa-based donated dental services organization, Eastern Oklahoma Donated Dental Services, Inc. (EODDS) was established. The non-profit was formed to serve the eastern half of Oklahoma and was granted 501(c)(3) status by the end of 2003. EODDS Executive Director Michael Smith, PhD, says, “Running full speed
ahead, the newly formed organization enlisted approximately 140 Tulsa area dentists volunteering to work in conjunction with EODDS to provide no-fee services for Oklahomans, primarily in Tulsa and surrounding areas. Additionally, two representatives of International Dental Arts Laboratory agreed to serve on the EODDS Board of Directors and provide necessary laboratory procedures for EODDS patients at a reduced cost.” Since inception, in accordance with non-profit status regulations, all monies received from funding sources have been used to pay laboratory fees, administrative compensations, and EODDS business sanctioned events. In 2013, just 10 years after inception, EODDS averaged over $4,400,000 in care provided by 320 dentists. This figure represents more donated care than California, Texas, New York, Pennsylvania and Florida combined for the same period. EODDS is the largest non-profit donated dental service in the world and has grown to that distinction in less than a decade.
continued from page 1 This truly “feel good” story has impacted the lives of over 10,000 patients by providing 20 million dollars worth of dental services in its first 10 years. Today, the purpose of EODDS is to connect volunteer dentists with patients in the 918 and 539 area code regions in need of dental care (especially dentures) that they cannot afford. Clients must be physically or mentally disabled, lowincome, and drawing their Social Security Disability (SSD) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Clients may not have any savings accounts, CDs, trust accounts, IRAs or any other means of paying for dental care. Elderly clients must be 65 years of age or older and low-income. Clients may not have any savings accounts, CDs, trust accounts, IRAs or any other means of paying for dental care, and all clients must meet the current year Annual Federal Poverty Guideline. Executive Director Smith expressed his gratitude to the more than 19 founda-
tions, trusts and organizations that are EODDS funders and have been faithful to the cause since its beginnings in 2003. “Without their support and the benevolent dentists participating in the program, EODDS would not exist. We thank them all.” You may contact the EODDS office for an application or download one from the website and mail it in if you believe you or someone you know may qualify for services.

Enjoy every day that you have and live it to the fullest!” “I’ve had many women come into the shop,” said Store Manager Valorie Reynolds, “who have flat out said, ‘I can’t wear that!

TThink Pink for the Holidays Claremore’s famous Pink House restaurant and tea house offers busy people help with their holiday baking as well as unique gift ideas. By Carol Beck-Round With our busy lives, it’s often difficult to find time to do everything we’d like for the holidays. Baking might be at the top of your list, but with gift shopping, decorating, parties and other activities, finding time to get in the kitchen to prepare your favorite desserts from scratch isn’t easy. Margo Stewart, owner of The Pink House, and her daughter, Shari Beguin, have the answer to make your holiday season less stressful. “We’re offering a variety of baked goodies and desserts for the Christmas season,” says Margo. Pumpkin, pecan and coconut cream pies as well as layered desserts, banana bread and The Pink House’s famous baked fudge are just a few of the goodies available. “If we can provide pies and other baked goods to help free up busy people who don’t have time to prepare homemade desserts, we are always happy to help,” says Margo. “I love Christmas and I love to serve others.” Many other items will be available, and Margo invites you to give them a call to find out what goodies are baking in their kitchen. However, if you want to make sure you get your order placed on time, you need to call (918) 342-2544 by December 22. “The earlier you place your order, the better. We will be open for lunch on Christmas Eve day, but all baked goods orders must be placed two days
Margo Stewart, left, and her daughter, Shari Beguin, love making their customers happy.
prior,” she adds. “We’ll be closed December 25th through the 28th and reopen on the 29th.” Christmas shopping at The Pink House might not cross your mind, but Margo is excited about the teas from the Metropolitan Tea Company available to purchase for yourself or for a friend who is a connoisseur of teas. For a chocolate lover friend, consider purchasing a baked fudge kit. Who doesn’t love The Pink House’s baked fudge? Another gift idea is a cookbook titled “Tea & Sweets: Fabulous Desserts for Afternoon Tea.” What makes this cookbook special? It
includes The Pink House recipe for Butterscotch-Praline Layer Dessert and includes a brief history of the restaurant. Margo and her staff love offering new menu items throughout the year. Wintertime means seasonal desserts and hot chocolate as well as hearty soups. While the restaurant will be closed on New Year’s Day, they’re looking forward to new things in the New Year. “We’re planning a Murder Mystery, hopefully in January,” Margo adds. The New Year will also see the return of Shari’s pie crust baking classes and possibly a scone mak-

Quality Dental Plan Resolves Dental Dilemmas White Smile Cosmetic & Family Dentistry offers a Quality Dental Plan that eliminates the insurance company middle man. By Steve White, D.D.S At White Cosmetic and Family Dentistry, it is our mission to provide our patients high-quality dentistry in a friendly, comfortable and caring environment. As healthcare debates continue, our dental practice has taken a step to help Tulsa area families afford quality dental care. More than 60 percent of Americans do without dental insurance because they feel they can’t afford it. A recent “CBS News” report indicated dental decay as a contributing factor in many seemingly unrelated issues including employment problems, heart disease and childhood school absences. It’s not unusual for a child to be in chronic pain because a simple cavity was not caught and treated in time. Much of the cost of dental care is going to third parties: the insurance companies,
used instead for needed treatment. With this plan, you and your family will have no reason to avoid recommended check-ups and cleanings.
claims form administrators and collection costs. When a potential dental problem is detected early – through regular exams and preventive procedures including cleanings and fluoride treatments – and then treated, it inherently saves you money, much more than if you wait to receive treatment after the problem has become a greater issue. You’ve heard the old saying, “Pay me now or pay me later.” When we saw the hundreds of dollars families were spending for treatments that could have been avoided by early detection through simple routine checkups, we chose to put a tailored plan in action that is currently being made available in selected dental offices across the nation. The plan is both simple and ingenious and is called the QDP (Quality Dental Plan). I have found that we can offer free exams, free teeth cleanings with all necessary exams and 20 percent off most dental procedures, by offering our own in-house dental savings plan. QDP eliminates the insurance company middle man and their huge profits, and puts the savings back in your pocket.
I hope that the cost savings potential of QDP will make sense to employers as an alternative to offering current dental insurance options to their employees. When you visit “White Smile,” you’ll find a full range of services utilizing only the latest materials, techniques and technologies available. We have a beautiful, comfortable office with a friendly, caring and helpful staff. This Ad Sponsored By:
The premiums individuals or employers pay for dental insurance more than cover the costs of two cleanings, exams and preventive care in most dental offices. Instead of wasting these dollars on excessive premiums, they can be

OOklahoma Author Releases New Book “Nana’s 3 Jars: Giving Generously” teaches children the value of money and the importance of giving to others. By Sheryl Sowell
Oklahoma syndicated columnist, author and inspirational speaker Carol Round has released her first children’s book, “Nana’s 3 Jars: Giving Generously,” just in time for Christmas giving. The book is the first in a series of three to teach children about giving, saving and spending.
In a media-saturated world focused on having more, it’s sometimes difficult for adults to teach children about the value of money, especially at Christmas time. Commercials for new toys, video games and other merchandise can distract us from the real meaning of Christmas. Without preaching, Christian author, syndicated columnist and inspirational speaker Carol Round has released the first in a series of three books to teach children about giving, saving and spending. “I wanted to use storytelling to engage children with parents and grandparents to understand the real value of money and its importance,” says Carol. “I chose ‘Nana’s 3 Jars’ to create a dialogue between children and adults. The first book in the series, ‘Giving Generously,’ focuses on giving. “Charlie and Emma, the young characters in the story, are excited because they’re headed to Nana’s home in the country for the day,” says Ms. Round. “Nana, who is known for her prizewinning recipes at the county fair each year, offers cookies and milk for a treat when they first arrive. As the youngsters eat their cookies, they notice three jars filled

with coins on Nana’s countertop. Each jar has a different label – giving, saving and spending. When the sister and brother question Nana about the purpose of the jars, she explains each. “In the first book,” Ms. Round adds, “the children learn about the joy of giving when they make chocolate chip cookies to hand out at a local veterans’ center. I’ve done this with my three grandchildren and they always love it – not only helping to make the cookies, but handing them out as well. We’ve also done this at local nursing homes, and I think my grandchildren are as excited and blessed as the veterans and residents of the facilities we visit.” The book series was born out of her love of helping others and of teaching her grandchildren about giving, saving and spending. “I can recall my experiences as a child,” she adds, “when my sister and I would help our grandmother make jams and jellies. When finished, we could select our favorite and also give them away as gifts. I can also recall poking holes in the lids of empty jars and capturing fireflies. My sister and I would set them on the window sill at night to watch them glow.
By mentioning this in the book, it brings back memories for adults who did this same thing. You don’t see as many fireflies today as you did when I grew up.” “Giving Generously” is interactive and includes an original chocolate chip recipe in the back of the book as well as three labels – giving, saving and spending – so children can make cookies to hand out and start putting coins in their own jars. To purchase a copy of “Nana’s 3 Jars: Giving Generously,” contact the author at carolaround@yahoo.com. The book is also available on Amazon.com. Ms. Round resides in Claremore and is also available to speak in elementary classrooms and to other children’s groups.
