Don’t Drop a Ton of Dough for Delicious Pizza Top That! Pizza in Tulsa Hills celebrates two years of serving up yummy pizza at an appetizing price. By Christopher Davis

December marks the second anniversary of Top That! Pizza at Tulsa Hills. Be sure to stop in for a delicious, wallet-friendly lunch or dinner while you’re out finishing your holiday shopping. Top That! has enjoyed success for two years not only because of the wonderful food, great prices and friendly service, but also because the establishment is highly supportive of the community it

serves. Sean Swank, owner, is a 20 year veteran in the Air Force, and his restaurant extends discounts to all military, police and fire department members. College students, too, can expect a break at the register. Additionally, churches, sports teams, schools and nonprofits can partner with Top That! for fundraisers. “The fundraisers are fun and work out well for the groups we sup-

port,” notes Andre Casteel, general manager. Groups can set up fundraiser dinners Sunday through Thursday. The group host encourages customers to drop their receipt in the fundraiser box, and at the end of the night Top That! Pizza will donate 20 percent of the tally to the group. An evening full of smiles and pizza leads to a healthy boost for any group – how can you top that as a (continued on page 22)

By Duane Blankenship

Millions of people are affected every day by headaches and chronic pain, according to Dr. Terry Bennett, D.M.D. of the Tulsa TMJ Orofacial Pain & Sleep Disorders Clinic. “Many people just suffer and try to do the best they can, but suffering day in and day out is no way to live,” says Dr. Bennett. After practicing general dentistry for 13 years, Dr. Bennett became interested in treating TMJ/TMD (temporomandibular joint disorder) after helping two patients suffering from chronic migraines. Doctors and neurologists had them on several medications that didn’t work so they were told the headaches were stressrelated. Dr. Bennett knew they had TMD and was successful in eliminating their headaches. As a result, in 1990, Dr. Bennett decided to limit his dental practice to helping patients with TMJ/TMD.

CChoices for Life Seeking Foster Parents The therapeutic foster care agency strives to connect big-hearted parents with kids who need them most.

By Christopher Davis

This holiday season, Choices for Life Foster Care invites you to consider opening your heart and home to a child who needs your help. Choices for Life is an agency that specializes in therapeutic foster care for children with unique needs. Working with DHS, the agency places children from traumatizing households with foster parents who are willing to go above and beyond usual

expectations and provide loving homes that will encourage healing, learning and growth. The need for qualified and responsible foster parents willing to take on relatively challenging cases is ongoing. Harold Thompson, clinical supervisor at CFL, is candid about the unique qualities they look for in potential foster parents. “They need to understand the reality of the

(L to R) Back row: Paul Smith, Cynthia Stubblefield, Cathi Murphy and Harold Thompson. Front row: Phyllis Bowen, Pam Ittner and Beverly Litterell.

situation,” he says. The cases that CFL takes on often involve heartbreaking stories, ranging from physical and emotional abuse to drug addiction in the household. Indeed, it takes a special type of person to not only consider stepping into such situations, but to commit to helping these children heal and learn how to live a life of normalcy. There are a few basic steps that potential foster parents should expect as they consider working with CFL. Of course, the fundamental qualification is that you have a desire to foster a child and are prepared to begin making up for the lack of quality parenting in the child’s previous situation. Every potential parent goes through a DMV and background check. There is also an income study during the application process. CFL is committed to ensuring that foster homes are focused on providing a healthy environment for these children and that potential parents are not viewing the situation as a means to balancing their household

budget. Home inspections, likewise, are an important part of the application process, as CFL is committed to ensuring that children are moving to homes with adequate space and a healthy family environment. Interested parents should not be intimidated by all of this process, though, since CFL provides plenty of support and training. “We provide rigorous training from the beginning,” says Mr. Thompson. “We also pair new families with mentor families, which we find eases a lot of the expected anxiety early on.” CFL builds on this foundation of support with ongoing training and regular meetings. These large meetings are intended to get families together and help build a social support network. Comprehensive training and support is just one of the many facets of CFL’s unique approach to providing wraparound services for therapeutic foster care. Therapists meet with families in the home at least once per week. The agency provides 24-hour

phone support as well. CFL works with schools to ensure appropriate attention and care is considered in the child’s academic environment – crucial in any child’s life. Treatment plans are updated every 90 days, ensuring families, therapists, schools and child are all on the same page and are attentive to the real-time needs of everyone involved. All of this combines to create a foster agency that exceeds standards and expectations and connects children with good homes. If you have found yourself thinking about fostering or searching for a way to make a positive difference in the lives of children in need, then you owe it to yourself and the community to contact Choices For Life. There is no better time than the present to give the gift of a loving home to a child in need. For more information, contact

By Sheryl Sowell

Ladies, you are extraordinary women of God and you deserve a weekend to celebrate this fact! Mark your calendars now for the Extraordinary Women Conference, a weekend designed to help you draw closer to the heart of God and His amazing plan for your daily life. EWomen is

not just a Christian women’s event – it’s a lifestyle. The conference will be held at the Mabee Center, February 28 through March 1, 2014. Julie Clinton, president of Extraordinary Women, has spoken to hundreds of thousands of women as host of EWomen conferences all across America. A person of

deep faith, she cares passionately about seeing women live out their dreams by finding their freedom in Christ. “We as women give of ourselves all day, every day – to our husbands, children, careers and households – but we rarely give back to ourselves. This conference is our way of giving back to women, offering them a weekend away to experience hope and healing through Jesus Christ,” says Julie. “Extraordinary Women shares with all women, regardless of their religious affiliation, the love, acceptance and completeness God has for us.” The conference will include music, praise and worship, entertainment and special guest speakers. “Our speakers will discuss issues related to women, many that aren’t necessarily talked about at church on Sunday morning, such as divorce, illness and disappointment,” says Julie. The theme of this year’s conference, “The Joyful

www.ValueNews.com Journey,” comes from Romans 15:13 – “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” “Life is not always joyful,” says Julie, “but we must remember that the only true everlasting joy can be found through the Lord.” In addition to Julie, several other women will offer insightful and inspirational presentations at the conference. Karen Kingsbury is a USA and New York Times best-selling author and America’s top inspirational novelist, with 10 of her more than 50 novels landing at number one on national book lists. Chonda Pierce is one of the biggest selling comedians in the world today, consistently a top-selling ticketed artist of any genre. She is one of the country’s most honest artists, allowing her personal struggles to be the substance behind the laugh. Carol Kent is a popular public speaker known around the world for her compelling, humorous, and spiritually uplifting messages. Carol has been a keynote speaker for various women’s conferences and events, and she regularly appears on a variety of nationally syndicated television and radio broadcasts.

Margaret Feinberg was recently named one of the “30 Emerging Voices” who will help lead the church in the next decade by “Charisma” magazine. Margaret has written more than two dozen books and Bible studies. Lisa Whelchel is an actress, author, and inspirational speaker. She is best known for her role as Blair Warner on the sitcom “The Facts of Life.” Lisa left acting to be a stay-at-home mom, and later wrote a series of books on motherhood. In 2012, Lisa returned to television to appear on the series “Survivor: Philippines.” The event will also feature musical performances by Michael O’Brien and Lonestar. The Extraordinary Women Conference is part of the American Association of Christian Counselors. Gather your friends, daughters, mothers, sisters and aunts for a wonderful weekend of healing, hope, laughter and joy. Purchase your tickets online today at www.ewomen.net.

Edible Gifts that Support Literacy Efforts Sapulpa’s very own Spanish Jack’s Fine Foods has partnered with Creek County Literacy Program for a winter holiday fundraiser.

By Sheryl Sowell

“Do you know any cooking or grilling foodies, or don’t know what to get for the guy who has it all? Spanish Jack’s makes the perfect gift!” shares Barbara Fuente, vice president of Spanish Jack’s Fine Foods, a Sapulpa-based business. Spanish Jack’s has hand selected three items for a winter holiday fundraiser – grilling and marinade sauces priced at just $10 a jar. They are the perfect stocking stuffer for everyone on your Christmas list. Between now and December 19, Spanish Jack’s will donate 50 percent of fundraising sales from their Winter Product Line to the Creek County Literacy Program. These three promotional products include: Cranberry Grilling Sauce & Marinade: Marinate chicken, pork or beef 12 to 24 hours. Liberally baste meat during cooking and after removing from the grill or

oven, or serve right on the table. Sweet and spicy! Coffee or Mustard Flavor Based Barbeque Sauce: Coffee perfectly complements chicken and beef, while mustard pairs perfectly with pork/ham. Be sure to have some extra ready for dipping! “Every jar is locally produced right here in Creek County. Log onto www.spanishjacks.com to download dozens of free recipes for these – and all the Spanish Jack’s products,” suggests Barbara. “Your family and friends will love it,” adds Mark Fuente, president of Spanish Jack’s, “and you can feel good knowing that you’ve helped support literacy in our community.” “Seventeen percent of adults in Creek County 18 years or older do not have a high school diploma, and four percent of adults in Creek County 18 years or older do not have a 9th grade education. More than

400,000 Oklahoma adults are functionally illiterate. The mission of the Creek County Literacy Program is to encourage, educate and equip aspiring readers to overcome the barriers of illiteracy,” adds Melissa M. Struttmann, executive director of Creek County Literacy Program. These Spanish Jack’s Products are available at the Creek County Literacy Program office, 15 N. Poplar St. in Sapulpa, and can be purchased directly using cash, check or credit card (make checks payable to Creek County Literacy Program). Call (918) 224-9647 or email orders ahead to dmarshall@ creekcountyliteracy.org.

CCelebrate Reason for the Season King of Kings Lutheran Church presents their annual free Live Nativity performances on December 14 and 15.

By Sheryl Sowell

As we gather to decorate Christmas trees and purchase presents for loved ones, King of Kings Lutheran Church calls us all to remember the purpose of the Christmas season. In an effort to carry out this mission to celebrate the birth of Christ, King of Kings will be presenting a Live Nativity scene on Saturday, December 14 and Sunday, December 15 at 6 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. each night.

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 as well as pet the animals and visit 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, cochair 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 40 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 seventh year that King of Kings Lutheran Church has put on a Live Nativity. “We are a missionary church,” Bartley says. “This is our small way of sharing Christ’s love with the community.” King of Kings is a small church with a congregation of just over 100 members; the church begins setting up committees in the early fall to prepare for the event. Whether participants are actors or supervising parking, every member plays a vital role in the Live Nativity. “It takes us all,” Bartley says. “Our goal is to capture the wonder of our Savior’s birth. It isn’t about commercialization; it is about the simplicity and the joy of the occasion.” This project is free to the community, and is a relatively large endeavor for such a small church. Funding comes from both the congregation and Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, 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. King of Kings is a mission church that provides outreach to the community in a variety of other ways as well, including the Mercy Mission II Food Pantry and the Good Samaritan Mobile Medical Ministry, available on the first and third Fridays of each month. The food pantry and mobile medical ministry are held at Extreme Worship in Glenpool. The church will also have a float in the Glenpool Christmas Parade and the Tulsa Hills Christmas Parade, both on December 7.

DRing the Bells for Christmas Kettles Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club enables Broken Arrow youth to reach full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.

By Duane Blankenship

You are probably aware of some of the remarkable work done by the Salvation Army, but likely have no idea of their total outreach, not only across our country, but in Broken Arrow. The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club of Broken Arrow has a simple mission statement: to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.

the blessing,” said Captain Lucas. “We have doubled the number of kettle locations to 40 this season, but have been unable to hire additional employees to assist us. We desperately need employees and volunteer organizations willing to assist in the Christmas kettle activity.” Counter Kettles are placed at Arby’s, Arvest Bank, Rib Crib, and Merritt’s Bakery. There are outdoor kettle sites at Neighborhood Market, Walgreens, Wal-Mart, Big Lots, Reasor’s, Michael’s, Warehouse Market, Hobby Lobby and BassPro Shops. This year’s goal is $225,000. If you, your civic organization, church or club is interested in helping, please contact the Salvation Army of Broken Arrow.

Nearly 100,000 faces pass through the doors of the Broken Arrow club each year. “Our organization has been blessed with an opportunity to increase funding for all Salvation Army programs, but we have found ourselves in a dilemma despite

Guards, a Christ-oriented adventure program; and Power Hour, a program that helps 6 to 18 year olds with home work. Additional programs include swimming, available to children and adults of Broken Arrow; Challenger Basketball, Challenger Art and Challenger Swim programs are custom designed for adults and children with special needs. There is Youth Basketball for boys and girls ages 6 to 18 and Flag Football for boys in kindergarten through 6th grades. Small Ball is basketball for four, five and six year olds and is played on a full court, four on four, with six-foot high goals. “We also have a wrestling program and we’re still taking sign-ups,” said Blackmon. Wrestling teams practice two times each week, have a tournament every weekend November through March, and are members of OKWA (Oklahoma Kids Wrestling Association). There are Open and Novice Divisions in all age groups, but kids are never required to participate in tournaments.

The Broken Arrow Boys & Girls Club has the only girls' rugby team in our state. They recently participated in a Dallas tournament and won first place – undefeated! Blackmon says two team members have been invited to play on the National Girls Rugby Team. The Broken Arrow team is coached by Gayla Adcock. Many additional programs are offered by the Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club of Broken Arrow. In short, this is a wonderful organization that is making a difference in the lives of Broken Arrow children and adults. Hopefully you’ll find it in your heart to volunteer to “Ring the Bells for Christmas Kettles” campaign or make a donation whenever you can.

Surgeon Can YYour Make the Difference Patsy Wessel had two very different knee replacement experiences with two surgeons. By Joshua Danker-Dake

Patsy Wessel of Oilton had a positive knee replacement operation with Dr. Ronald LaButti.

When Patsy Wessel, 73, of Oilton, Oklahoma, had knee replacement surgery with Dr. Ronald S. LaButti last year, she was coming off a prior knee surgery. The difference in the two procedures, she says, was like night and day. “I had already had one surgery done, and it was very painful,” Wessel says. “I didn’t have a good experience with my first doctor, and I didn’t feel like my physical therapist did a very good job either. But with Dr. LaButti, it was very different. I had a very good experience with him.” Wessel’s knee problems developed gradually, over decades, she says. “I’m 73 years old, and I’m in my 35th year in my job, where I walk and stand on cement. I have four children, and where I lived had cement floors. I’ve worked hard in my life, you know? You just wear your knees out.” Wessel says the knee replacement with Dr.

LaButti was an immeasurably better experience than her previous surgery. “Yes, I had pain – it’s always painful. But for a knee replacement, it was significantly better,” she says. “I had much less pain. It was a good experience. Dr. LaButti told me that the surgery went perfectly, and I believe it. In a short time, I was able to get up and walk without so much pain because of how well it was done. I wasn’t even on my cane or walker more than a week before I could walk by myself.” A big part of Wessel’s good experience was her knee rehabilitation. Dr. LaButti prescribed a continuous passive motion machine for physical therapy, and Wessel says it worked wonders. “Dr. LaButti sent me home with this machine: for two hours, three times a day, you put your leg in it, and it raises and works your knee. It worked wonderfully, and it

doesn’t hurt.” Wessel says her first doctor didn’t use that machine. “He had someone physically doing it, and they can hurt you. Sometimes I was crying by the time they finished. But with the machine, it didn’t hurt, and it kept the knee limber. It worked so well.” Overall, Wessel says, her experience was exceptional. “The hospital was excellent. Dr. LaButti was excellent, and he was very nice. I’ve already recommended Dr. LaButti to a number of people, and I would recommend him to anyone.” For more information on Dr. LaButti or knee or hip replacement surgery, visit www.hipandkneedoc.com.

SShe’s Back Dancing

Spinal Decompression of Oklahoma helps patient Ramona Wimp get her life back.

By Carol Beck-Round

Ramona Wimp is a selfdefined go-getter. Three years ago, however, Ramona, who is now in her early 50s, began experiencing excruciating pain in her legs and back. “I couldn’t even walk across a parking lot without pain,” she says. Ramona, who had spent her life in active pursuits like horseback riding, dancing and playing with her two daughters, suddenly found

herself incapacitated, unable not only to enjoy her usual activities, but also unable to take care of her family. “When I got home in the evening from work, I had to use my hands to lift my legs, one at a time, out of the car,” she adds. “I could barely climb the steps to our front door.” After arriving home, Ramona often found herself curled in a fetal position,

trying to fight the pain. “I couldn’t even clean my house,” she says. “The pain affected every area of my life, including driving. I couldn’t drive very far without excruciating pain.” An optimistic and outgoing woman by nature, Ramona continued to smile at work, greeting those who walked through the doors of Claremore’s Goodwill, where she is a customer service man-

Ramona Wimp, customer service manager for Goodwill, fought excruciating back and leg pain for three years, leaving her incapable of living a normal life.

www.ValueNews.com ager. However, the smile hid the pain she fought daily. “My co-workers were so great,” she says. “They worked with me, allowing me to sit on a stool behind the counter as a cashier when I couldn’t do my regular work.” Some days, she couldn’t even manage that. “The pain would get the best of me sometimes and I’d have to leave work.” Because she had never had a back injury or been involved in an accident, Ramona couldn’t understand why she was in so much pain. “I had ridden horses a lot when I was younger,” she explains. “I’d been bucked and kicked but never had any pain.” In the past, she had also competed in 5K races, leading to knee trouble and a procedure to offer some relief. “I had a lot of wear and tear on my knees,” she adds, “but I couldn’t see how that could affect my back.” Ramona had been to different doctors, including 20 sessions with a chiropractor. “I had also been to an orthopedic surgeon,” she says. “I wanted to avoid surgery at all costs, so I asked him about my options.” Seeing the specialist revealed problems with degenerative discs in her back. “He is the one who suggested spinal decompression as an option, but I still waited for awhile,” she says. A visit and several tests with Dr. Dwight J. Korgan at Spinal Decompression of Oklahoma eventually led to her giving spinal decompression a try. “I am so glad I

did,” she says. “It literally gave me my life back.” Before Ramona finally made the decision to try IDD Therapy, she was at work one day when Ebony Jones, the office technician for Spinal Decompression of Oklahoma, saw her suffering from muscle spasms. “Even though I had a smile on my face, Ebony saw I was in pain by the way I moved slowly around the store,” she says. “She convinced me to move ahead with the spinal decompression.” After 20 treatments, which she began this past January, Ramona says, “I can’t believe how good I feel. I’m back to my old self, enjoying those things I couldn’t do before.” One thing this energetic mother does is keep up with her daughters, ages 12 and 14. “They are both active in afterschool activities that involve my driving them to lessons and other appointments, Monday through Friday,” she says. “Without pain, I can now enjoy driving them to the places they need to be. I couldn’t do that before I had spinal decompression.” Ramona encourages anyone suffering from back pain to see if spinal decompression is an option. “It gave me a new lease on life.” For more information, contact

Open the Door to a Beautifully Furnished Home Mustard Seed Door Consignment will host a Holiday Open House on December 7 from 6 to 9:30 p.m. with discounts, door prizes and refreshments.

By Derek Taylor

Mustard Seed Door Consignment, the premier furniture and accessory consignment shop in Northeast Oklahoma, offers you an opportunity to sell your gently-used furniture and treasure hunt for bargains on unique furniture and home decor. New items arrive daily and you can find every style of furniture and accessories to suit your taste, including traditional, contemporary,

French, antique, modern, and transitional. Mustard Seed Door Consignment features an elegant website which is constantly updated with pictures of their furniture. Like them on Facebook and get pictures every day of new arrivals. All items offered are on consignment. If you came to their Open House last year, you know how much fun it was. Well, they are doing it again! The

John and Diana, owners of Mustard Seed Door Consignment.

Mustard Seed Holiday Open House will be Saturday, December 7 from 6 to 9:30 p.m. and will offer storewide discounts, prizes and refreshments. Diana Clark and her son John started the consignment shop seven years ago after they were approached by local interior designers and decorators with the idea of opening a quality furniture consignment shop that offered impeccable integrity and service. Diana and John discovered there were many people needing a way to sell and buy gently-used highquality home furnishings and decided it was a good opportunity to fill that need. They discovered that people’s needs can be triggered by events like moving, a change in décor, a new house, and other life transitions. Many people are downsizing, moving to assisted living, or setting up their first household. Those who have lost a loved one often need a dignified and respectful way to place furniture and décor into the hands of a new

owner. These people love the tasteful surroundings and warm assistance that Mustard Seed Door is known for. Mustard Seed Door receives new items every day and merchandise moves quickly. Things sell so quickly that many customers come in regularly two or three times a week to browse the new items. While many of their customers are right here in Tulsa, a number of customers come from outside the Tulsa area including Eufaula, Edmond, Enid, Oklahoma City, Lawton, Norman, and Muskogee. Others come from out of state including Texas, Arkansas, Missouri and Kansas – even New York! Almost all of their business is referral or repeat. Customers soon learn that they better buy something they love the minute they see it because it will likely be gone before they return. At Mustard Seed Door, you can furnish and decorate your whole house or enhance any room – dining room, living room, bedroom, office, bath or kitchen. Mustard

Seed Door offers an amazing variety. You can find one piece of accent furniture or make your house sparkle for the holidays with an original oil, tribal rug, designer floral, new lamps or a set of antique books. The shop has wonderful custom drapes and bedding too. You may also find a unique chandelier, print, clock, or mirror for a fraction of its original cost. Mustard Seed Door supports local causes with a special fondness for the Salvation Army and organizations that serve children and families. They are proud members of the Better Business Bureau and employ six wonderful Tulsans ranging in age from the thirties to the seventies. Mustard Seed Door has two priorities: serving the customer, and offering a unique, relaxed shopping experience. The customer always comes first. With honesty and integrity, Diana and John have built their consignment business into one of Tulsa’s best-loved family-owned businesses. Mark your calendar for the Holiday Open house on December 7.

SShine Brightly This Season Vincent Anthony Jewelers has a great inventory of stunning gift ideas for any special occasion.

By Duane Blankenship

If you’re “Santa,” you’re probably still preparing gift lists. With the holidays rapidly approaching, it’s a great time to shop Vincent Anthony Jewelers, with locations in Tulsa and Broken Arrow. Vincent Anthony Jewelers is an upscale, fullservice jewelry store serving area residents for the past 13 years. Owner Lonnie

Iannazzo says, “The Vincent Anthony staff is eager to help you with gift selections and committed to making sure you are completely satisfied.” Lonnie and his team are also always available to explain the four qualities to look for when selecting a diamond –color, cut, clarity and carat weight.” Vincent Anthony

(L to R): Lonnie Iannazzo, owner, Ashley Taylor, Rhonda Amaro and Connie Hill-Tinsley of the Vincent Anthony Jewelers store in Tulsa. (Not pictured: Valorie Reynolds and Geri Stribling, Tulsa store; Store Manager David Pfeifer and Carol Ballard, Broken Arrow store.)

manages a “perpetual wish list” for customers, and male shoppers are glad they do!

FFeast on Cajun Cuisine

Want something delicious, flavorful and a little different for your holiday meals? Cajun Ed’s Hebert’s Specialty Meats has you covered.

By Deanna Rebro

Every Cajun meal is a celebration in itself. And there’s only one place in Tulsa to get the best Cajun food made by real Cajuns – that’s Cajun Ed’s Hebert’s Specialty Meats at 2101 E. 71st St. “Cajun Ed” Richard never planned on owning a meat market, much less a restaurant. His grandfather owned several restaurants and a catering company in Lafayette, Louisiana,

and he worked there in high school. He left Lafeyette after college to work for an office product company and made Tulsa his family’s home. Over the years, Cajun Ed thought more and more about getting into the food business. “It was just in the blood. My family was involved in it. I’ve always cooked, just not professionally, but I always wanted to.”

“Cajun Ed” Richard with the world-famous turducken.

In 1998, the original market opened at 81st and Lewis. Ed’s idea was to make products under Federal USDA inspection and legally ship them all over the United States. Cajun Ed’s Hebert’s is one of only two federally inspected facilities in Tulsa and has a full time inspector on site daily overseeing production. The production facility in the back of the restaurant produces a wide range of products, including nearly 50 varieties of sausages, gumbo, maque choux, and etouffee. Eighteen varieties of stuffing can be ordered inside a large selection of meats, including the turducken (a chicken stuffed inside a duck, stuffed inside a turkey). You can stop by for your favorite cuts of beef and pork, rabbit, crawfish (seasonally), alligator, chicken, game hens, oysters and quail. The largest Cajun market in Tulsa offers many retail items from all over Louisiana. Cajun Ed says many Louisiana natives come in to pick up products from “home” that they can’t find anywhere else. When the current location opened six years ago, they added a cafeteria-style lunch

service that features live music daily. Two years ago they began seated dinner service. A rotating list of specials is offered each day of the week. One of Ed’s favorites is “Cajun-Mex Tuesday,” with red bean burritos, a variety of Cajun tacos, and his grandfather’s crawfish tamales. The tamales are a longtime family favorite from the catering service and were nearly lost after “Paw Paw” passed. When they could not decipher the bits and pieces of the recipe scribbled down on a scrap of paper, the family decided to get together to try to recreate it. “My wife loved the tamales. They were her favorite thing to eat in the world, so she helped us recreate it. I had parts of the recipe from my cousin, whose brother used to make them for the catering company. My brother in Florida came to town and for a week we got together and made tamales. We’d make a batch and give them to my wife, and she’d tell us ‘that wasn’t it,’ so we’d make another batch and she’d say no. I don’t know how many batches we made, but finally she said we got it right. And we all knew when we tasted them – they were super good.”

Paw Paw’s tamales are served open faced with crawfish etouffee and homemade pico. Cajun Ed is pleased to introduce the creations of his new chef, Aubrey Brune. The OSU Culinary Arts graduate has nearly 20 years of experience in various restaurants, but Cajun food is his new passion. “Aubrey adds his special touch to make some of the best food we have ever offered,” says Cajun Ed. This year you can choose your favorite from three types of cornbread dressing. Christmas morning in Louisiana means beignets are in the kitchen. Cajun Ed’s has the beignet mix and chickory coffee to go with it, or beignets and café au lait are offered from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturdays. Place your holiday order online at www.cajuned.com or stop by the big red house just west of 71st and Lewis. For more information, contact

GGive the Gift of Broadway Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center’s Broadway Triple Play offers savings in time for the holidays.

By Christina Dixon

It’s the happiest time of the year, and Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center is spreading holiday cheer by offering savings on ticket prices for the last three shows of its fifth anniversary season. The ‘Broadway Triple Play’ includes an evening with Australian musical troupe The Ten Tenors on Jan. 24, 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. The three-show ticket pack ranges from $48 to $144 and is available at the BAPAC Box Office located at 701 S. Main St. in downtown Broken Arrow or by phone at (918) 259-5778.

“Our mission is to bring the world to Broken Arrow, and I think we are doing just that with these three elite Broadway shows,” BAPAC Executive Director Mark Frie said. “It’s been an outstanding fifth anniversary, and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to close out the season.” On Jan. 24 at 7:30 p.m., The Ten Tenors from all the way Down Under take the BAPAC stage, bringing a mixture of rock and classical music to create 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 become known as one of the hardest working touring acts, performing 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 love 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. 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 challenges 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, Tenn. A winner of four 2010 TonyAwards 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. The ‘Broadway Triple Play’ is available at the BAPAC Box Office located at 701 S. Main in downtown Broken Arrow or by phone at (918) 259-5778, Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

TTips for Safer Shopping Online Online shopper Tammy White offers her safe practices. By Jocelyn Wood

Technology is a beautiful thing, especially during the holidays when I can choose to avoid the stress of a crowded mall and do my holiday shopping online in the quiet comfort of my own home (in my PJs, if I want). Shopping online has its perks, online specials, doorstep delivery. But, it’s important to

remember to shop with caution. RCB Bank employee Tammy White also enjoys online shopping for its convenience and the ability to comparison shop for the lowest prices. At the same time, she exercises due diligence as a consumer to help ensure she and her

Shopper Tammy White says to use caution when buying online.

money are protected. Here are some of her online safe practices. Always make sure the website is legit. “One of the best ways to know who you are really dealing with is to scroll over the web address and make sure it doesn’t change to a different company,” said White. “Also check for secure-locked sites. I only shop at stores that are well known, like Amazon.com or Wal-Mart, and I tell my sons if they’ve never ordered from a particular site to Google it first and see what others are saying about the site.” RCB Bank adds: Be very cautious of emails and texts claiming to be from merchants even if you recently purchased from them. Fraudsters are professionals and design very convincing documents. Log in to the merchant’s official site to read communications regarding your purchases. Use one credit card. “I stick to one major credit card so I don’t have to remember how I paid,” White said. “This way, I have one statement to look at, one account to monitor and one

company to call if there is a problem.” RCB Bank adds: Consider getting a prepaid VISA card to use for online shopping. Not only can you set a holiday budget and put only that amount of money on the card, it will protect your debit card (check card), which is tied directly to your bank account, from online hackers. Be sure to ask your bank about any fees or hidden charges that may be associated with a prepaid VISA card. Monitor your statements. “When you order online, you automatically get a confirmation email,” White said. “I love this, as it normally has a tracking number on it. I do my part to keep on top of my account and make sure I am only charged what I am supposed to. I can’t count on the company to watch out for me. I am one customer; they have thousands.” RCB Bank adds: Many online merchants will ask you to store your card information and its security features (such as the CVV code or expiration date) to save time on your next purchase. This is not a good idea since someone could use your card if

they obtain the credentials you use to make online purchases with the merchant. Monitor your bank account transactions regularly and report any unauthorized or suspicious activity to your bank or credit card company immediately. Track packages from official sites like UPS.com or FedEx.com. Do not click on messages sent via email or text. Clicking on links can put your money and your identity in danger. Set a spending limit. “It is easy to shop online and get carried away,” said White. “Remember you still have to pay the bill when it comes.” To learn more about Internet security and fraud awareness, you can call RCB Bank at 855-BANK-RCB. Our fraud department is happy to answer any questions you may have.

Are Headaches and Chronic Fatigue Affecting Your Life? Dr. Bennett has successfully helped hundreds of patients become pain-free, including Jan from Tulsa. “Jan fell and landed on her right jaw. She spent the next seven years suffering from trauma-induced migraines. After seeing numerous doctors, none could help her. She suffered a migraine-induced stroke and seizure and was on the verge of suicide,” said Dr. Bennett. After examining Jan, he knew she was suffering from TMD and fitted her with a custom-made dental appliance. Within two weeks her headaches were gone and she was completely free of her medications. While each patient is unique, Dr. Bennett and his staff work hard to help patients become pain-free utilizing advanced techniques and state-ofthe-art imaging.

Dr. Bennett is currently the only dentist in Eastern Oklahoma who is board-certified in Craniofacial Pain and Dental Sleep Medicine. He is at the top of his profession and is recognized by his peers as one of the elite practitioners in the country. Having completed over 3,000 hours of continuing education, Dr. Bennett has attained the status of Diplomate in three national organizations. He also currently serves as President of the American Academy of Craniofacial Pain (AACP). Do you suffer from chronic fatigue, have trouble sleeping or concentrating, have frequent headaches or fall asleep in your car in traffic? If so, you may have sleep apnea. Since 1995, Dr. Bennett has treated patients who snore, and those

diagnosed with mild to moderate sleep apnea, using dental appliance therapy, which is approved by the FDA. Dr. Bennett has helped hundreds of patients with sleep apnea sleep “cordless” (no CPAP) and get a good night’s sleep. Dental appliance therapy is generally covered by insurance when there is a proper diagnosis of sleep apnea and sufficient documentation. According to Dr. Bennett, “Whether a patient has sleep apnea or TMJ/TMD, we use the latest in imaging, airway testing, and physical medicine in helping to properly diagnose and improve our patients’ lives, and put them on the road to recovery. We have many satisfied patients! Visit our website to read some of the life-changing testimonials.”

Committed to Improving Your Buying Experience Ford dealerships in Oklahoma and the United States. Mr. Knight and his dealership continue raising the industry standard bar each year. “We’ve made a lot of changes over the years as we continually strive to make buying a car and related services as simple and enjoyable as humanly possible.” Bill Knight Ford recently opened up their indoor showroom to make it more userfriendly and inviting, plus create more space for displaying vehicles. Bill Knight Ford also recently completed construction of an all new and separate Fleet Center to house a revamped fleet sales department. “We identified and responded to the needs of companies in the metro Tulsa area,” said Mr. Knight. “As the economy has begun recovering and new home builds have increased, many companies are now replacing

their fleets with new vehicles.” Knight has added five full-time sales staff members with a vision of serving the needs of that market. The automotive detail department will also be housed in the new Fleet Center. Knight says the dealership’s detail department had outgrown its current space. With the department now located in the new Fleet Center, detail has effectively tripled their square footage. They operate state-of-the-art automotive detailing equipment to ensure total customer satisfaction. With the move to the new space, car washing capabilities have also been improved and they still provide a no-charge car wash to every service customer. Those interested in adding to their personal or company fleet will want to check out the new Ford Transit Connect. The

Want Only the Best for Your Family and Guests? Bryan and Shannon Hester, owners of The Hamlet, offer the one and only honey-kissed™ ham that everyone loves.

By Deanna Rebro

Let The Hamlet make your holiday meals, parties, and gift-giving quick, easy and delicious. Since 1986, The Hamlet has been a Tulsa tradition in many homes. There are hams available everywhere, but only The Hamlet features the exclusive

honey cured, spiral sliced honey-kissed™ ham that is always imitated, but never duplicated. The Hamlet hams have earned a reputation for being “real ham!” Owners Bryan and Shannon Hester are looking forward to greeting the many

customers who come back year after year. “Please order early,” urges Shannon, the daughter of a previous owner, Gordon Pendergraft. “As soon as you know how many people you will be serving. That way you will be sure to get exactly what you want.”

Bryan and Shannon Hester, owners of The Hamlet, offer the one and only honey-kissed™ ham that everyone loves.

The Hamlet honey-kissed hams come in 7 to 18 pound sizes. If you’re not sure what size you need, friendly employees can help you decide. The Hamlet also offers whole smoked turkeys or boneless, spiral-sliced, allwhite-meat honey-kissed turkey breasts. The smoked turkeys range from 10 to 15 pounds and turkey breasts are 4 to 5 pounds. All these meats are fully cooked and ready to eat. They’re always a big hit at any holiday meal or party, and most appreciated by any hostess. The Hamlet hams or turkeys make excellent corporate gifts. Corporate discounts are offered for orders of 10 or more. All the meats can be shipped anywhere in the United States or delivered locally. Custom-made gift baskets, with or without a ham, start at $25. Gift cards in any amount are also popular among individuals and corporations. Happy recipients can choose a ham, turkey or whatever they want, whenever they want it. They can even use gift cards in the deli that features The Hamlet honey-kissed ham and turkey and a variety of Boar’s Head meats and cheeses, cold sandwiches, grilled sandwiches, wraps, salads, ham and beans, chili and soup. Or they can use

the gift cards in the new patio grill at the 91st and Sheridan location. Menu selections include exclusive Hamlet appetizers, steaks and gourmet burgers. “All our meats are the same premium quality as our famous hams,” says Bryan. Ceiling fans, ceiling-mounted heaters and a wood burning fireplace create comfortable, year-round al fresco seating for an extraordinarily fine meal, Monday through Saturday. Dine in or order your meals to go. For office parties or unexpected guests, a variety of party trays that serve up to 100 are available for pick up or delivery to your door. For parties of 25 or more, catering can be arranged. When you want only the best for your family and guests, get a honey-kissed ham from The Hamlet. Don’t forget dessert to top off a great meal! This holiday season The Hamlet is featuring pies and cheesecakes by order. For added convenience, you can order online from your computer, smart phone or tablet. For more information, contact

The Greatest Story Ever Told The 15th annual Bethlehem Walk, a free guided outdoor walk through an exciting and realistic Nativity, will be held December 5-8 at Christview Christian Church.

By Sheryl Sowell

Christview Christian Church, located at 2525 S. Garnett, is pleased to present the 15th annual Bethlehem Walk to the Tulsa community. The Bethlehem Walk is a 45minute guided outdoor walking tour through an exciting and realistic Nativity scene. The path is lighted,

and golf carts are available for those who are handicapped or disabled. Performances will be held December 5 and 6 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. and December 7 and 8 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. The presentation features a cast of more than 150 authentically dressed Roman

Experience the true story of Christmas at Christview Christian Church’s Bethlehem Walk, a free outdoor walk through a living nativity.

soldiers, beggars, lepers, heavenly angels, shepherds, and Mary, Joseph and the Christ Child. The church maintains a costume room with hundreds of costumes made as authentically as possible. Live camels, sheep and donkeys add to the authenticity of the greatest story ever told. Reservations are requested, and large groups are welcome. Admission is free. The Bethlehem Walk attracts thousands of attendees each year from a six-state area. Individuals and groups congregate in the church’s auditorium. Everyone is assigned to a family and a guide who is also the “family head.” Some participants will be given Roman coins with which to pay taxes as they enter Nazareth. You may even be hassled by Roman guards along the road as you march to Bethlehem. You will soon figure out, everyone becomes part of the production. A tax collector receives your family’s taxes,

www.ValueNews.com and your family representative will be asked to “make his mark” in the record book. Don’t try to hold back any coins for yourself – tax collectors can get nasty! Along your route, you will encounter angels with silvery white robes and shepherds kneeling in fields. You will visit three wise men and their camels, and will be asked if you have seen the star in the east. As you enter the bazaar, you will enjoy tasting some of the food samples. The bazaar area houses several shops with baskets, jewelry, fruit and nuts, rugs and more. Half the fun of the evening is interacting with the characters, especially when the shepherds invite you to join them at their camp to enjoy their nice warm fire. As you journey on, you will likely see beggars and lepers. Please don’t touch! To do so is “punishable by death.” You will discover that there are no rooms available in Bethelem. One innkeeper announces that he actually put up a man and his wife with child in a stable down the street. It was the last available vacancy in the city. Near the end of your walk, you will fast-forward 33 years as you encounter three crosses on a hillside and visit the tomb area where the body of Christ the Savior has

gone missing. An angel will appear and read from the scripture. At the conclusion of your walk, you are invited back to Fellowship Hall, where you will visit homes and courtyards of ancient times. Children may make a fabric doll, play games, and pet farm animals, while everyone is welcome to enjoy cider and cookies. The evening is entertaining and educational for all, plus a tremendous outreach to the Tulsa community by Christview Christian Church. The reservation hotline is (918) 232-3587. Operators are on duty from 6 to 9 p.m. each evening, or you may send a text message anytime and an operator will contact you and schedule your time. Please advise the operator if someone in your group is disabled and will need a golf cart. You may also visit www.christview.org, click the Bethlehem Walk picture or link, and make your reservation.

The Grinch and Father Christmas will make special appearances at The Castle of Muskogee this year.

Outside The Castle, you can take a hayride or a carriage ride through the Village, ride the ponies or the camel, and visit the petting zoo. Stop 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 – and keep your eyes open for The Mean Green One, too! Stop in for some holiday shopping with a variety of merchants, and pick up something unique for yourself or a loved one.

Join us in 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. Father Christmas will be at the Castle on Fridays and Saturdays through December 21. There is no cost to talk to

Father Christmas, and pictures will be available for a nominal fee. Please check the calendar at www.okcastle.com for exact dates. The 2013 Castle Christmas displays range from four feet in height to a towering 20 feet tall. You’ll see all of your favorite Christmas characters including Santa, the elves, many snowmen, reindeer, penguins, polar bears and more. Also you will see many of your favorite fun characters including Mickey Mouse, Snoopy, Scooby Doo, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Winnie the Pooh and Tigger, the Grinch, Elmo, Frosty the Snowman, Homer and Bart Simpson, plus many more. “This is the world’s largest display of inflatables,” says Matt Hiller, vice president and advertising director of the Castle of Muskogee. “Bring the whole family for a fun, wholesome evening to celebrate the holidays.” 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. Both drive-through events are open nightly from Thanksgiving through New Year’s Eve, 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.

By JoAnn Frizell

The Tulsa Downtown Parade of Lights – celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah and other holidays – is proud to announce movie and television star Samantha (Sami) Isler as the Grand Marshal for the 2013 Parade. Samantha is currently starring in the NBC sitcom “Sean Saves the World,” which debuted on October 3, 2013. Her co-stars are Sean Hayes (“Will and Grace”) and Linda Lavin (“Alice”) and Megan Hilty (“Smash”). Samantha Isler first made her mark with NBC in 2009 as a kid reporter. She recently completed filming the gothic thriller/dark comedy “Dig Two Graves” with Ted Levine, and she was also in the April 2013 release “Home Run.” Sami is a native Oklahoman, born in Tulsa on October 26, 1998. She had just graduated from the 8th grade at Monte Cassino when Hollywood called. The 2013 Parade of Lights will take place on

Saturday, December 14 beginning at 6 p.m. The route begins at 4th and Elgin, travels west on 4th to Boulder, north on Boulder to 1st, then east on 1st to finish at Elgin in the Blue Dome District. This is the 78th year for a holiday parade in downtown Tulsa. “The Parade had thousands of spectators lining the streets last year, and this year will be even bigger and better,” said Larry Fox, Parade Chairman. “It is going to be an unbelievable year of talent and entertainment for the Parade of Lights. We are very pleased to have Sami as our Grand Marshal. Once we heard about her and the show, we knew we had to have her!” The Parade of Lights invites everyone to come enjoy the 60+ floats, balloons, dance groups, collegiate and professional sports teams, beauty pageant winners and so much more. The Guthrie Green will

be hosting the Downtown Parade of Lights After Party on December 14, from 7 to 9 p.m. Float awards for this year's parade will be announced by Grand Marshal Samantha Isler. The party will have live entertainment, a concert by Star Fisher, food trucks lining the park, and arts and crafts vendors under the north dock at the Holiday Sale. Activities for kids will include meeting Santa, pony rides, and fireworks visible from the park. This year’s fireworks will be a joint contribution between the Downtown Parade of Lights and WinterFest. The Parade will be televised again this year by KTUL Channel 8.
