A Stone’s Throw from a More Beautiful Home

Kick Into a Fit Lifestyle Thomas “Thunderkick” Longacre has recently moved back to the Tulsa area and opened Thunderkick Fitness.

Stone Mill Manufactured Stone products are convenient, long lasting, attractive and affordable.

By Duane Blankenship

By Duane Blankenship Thomas “Thunderkick” Longacre grew up in the community of Kellyville. For the past six years, he has lived in Tyler, Texas, where he opened his first Thunderkick Fitness facility in 2010 and taught mixed martial arts (MMA). Longacre is a well-known and respected mixed martial arts fighter and still competes throughout the United States. He has recently opened his new Thunderkick Fitness, which borders the line between Tulsa and Jenks. Longacre will be traveling back and forth between Tulsa and Tyler to help and support his Texas-based MMA team. “It’s great to be back in the Tulsa area and the Muscogee (Creek) Nation,” says Longacre. His goal is to benefit the martial arts community and help those who are trying to get in shape.

Thunderkick Fitness offers a variety of classes, including Kids Karate (4 to 12 years), Beginning MMA, Advanced MMA, Cardio

Dig Up Some Fun at Black Gold Days The 34th annual Black Gold Days festival will be June 14-16, 2012 at Black Gold Park in Glenpool. By Sheryl Sowell

The 34th annual Black Gold Days, a celebration commemorating the 1905 discovery of oil in Glenpool, will be held Thursday, June 14 through Saturday, June 16. When wildcatters Robert Galbreath and Frank Chesley drilled on Ida Glenn’s farmland, they hit one of Oklahoma’s first oil gushers in what would become known as “the Glenn Pool.” This discovery led to considerable growth for the area, put Oklahoma on the oil production map, and helped Tulsa become known as the “Oil Capital of the World.” Black Gold Days is sponsored by the Glenpool Chamber

of Commerce and takes place in Black Gold Park on U.S. Highway 75 at 145th Street. The festival has come a long way since the first Black Gold Days, when it was held at a small sports complex. Attendance now averages 9,000 to 11,000 people each day. The festival is helping Glenpool shed the image as “the town that made Tulsa famous” and is really making a name for itself. Festivities kick off at 5 p.m. Thursday when the Boy Scouts raise the American flag. The three-day event will feature such attractions as a carnival, delicious (continued on page 22)

The Black Gold Days Frog and Turtle Races will be held at 9 a.m. on Saturday, June 16.

Champagne Tastes on a Beer Budget: Tips for Planning Your Retirement

years. Some of the common themes that I hear are the following: This is not your parents’ retirement. A lot of folks remember their parents retiring and living comfortably off of primarily Social Security and company pensions. Therefore, they really don’t have a model for the importance of putting back for their own retirement. In addition, 30 years ago retirement didn’t typically last too long. The life expectancy didn’t go far beyond the age of 70. Your retirement will be very different. You will live longer and you will likely be more active. 2) Don’t depend on Social Security and Company Pensions. As of 2004, the average annual Social Security retirement benefit was approximately $11,000. In other words, retirees cannot live on Social Security alone. For those in or near retire-

BY MELANIE HASTY-GRANT

When it comes to planning for retirement, you best not be caught with your pants down! The sooner you get started saving and planning for retirement the better. So many times I hear people say… “I just can’t afford to put money back for retirement.” Listen here, you can’t afford NOT to! The question is, how much should you be saving? A good rule of thumb is to save 20 times your expected annual expenses in the first year you plan to retire. This rule is based on spending – not income – and as such, is an important distinction from income-based rules. In retirement what matters is how much you spend – not how much you used to earn. The 20 times rule is based on first estimating expenses after subtracting any pension and Social Security payments. Assuming a retirement of about 20 years, this nest egg would let you spend 5% of the balance while investing the remainder at modest rates of return. For example, if you and your spouse think you will need $50,000 a year and plan on $20,000 from Social Security, you would need 20 times 30,000 or $600,000. For a more conservative approach, estimate this rule of thumb based on 25 times annual spending. Now, I have been listening to folks’ problems and solving financial equations for over 20

3) So Bottom Line: It’s up to you! Unless your plan is to die young or to work forever, you need to stop “playing possum” about your retirement savings. It’s time to stop being a worry wart about it and start doing something about it. Take control of the one thing you have control over in planning for your retirement -YOU. How much YOU save, how YOU invest that savings, and how YOU protect and grow that savings in retirement is what you can control. Who you trust to help you with this process matters.

SSkin Health Dr. Mallory Spoor-Baker offers tips for achieving healthy skin. By Dr. Mallory Spoor-Baker What is skin health? On the surface, it’s a new catch phrase in the cosmetic and aesthetic industry – a phrase to catch your attention. What does it mean? To me, it is in reference to devices and procedures which are supposed to promote healthier skin. I have been approached by several companies that are promoting these devices which perform the newest and greatest treatment for healthy skin. I don't know yet. If they sound too good to be true, they probably are. What is skin health, really? Skin health, to me, means the appearance of healthy-looking skin: moist, soft, clear, bright, resilient. You get the idea. How do we get it? The answer to that is very broad. Acquiring healthy skin is a process that realistically takes several months as well as several activities to get the results you may want. Just like getting our bodies healthy, we have to eat right, exercise and change bad habits in order to affect change to ourselves. It’s all a process, right? It takes some time and repeat effort at getting all the good activities in place and getting rid of all the bad activities. It's also not a linear path to achieve these things. Sometimes

it’s one step forward and two steps back. In my practice, which I’ve had since 1996, skin health has always meant encouraging my patients to take better overall care with the activities that damage skin and then performing procedures and applying products to get rid of the signs of the damage. Many of you are familiar with these procedures, which include different laser treatments such as IPL, Laser Genesis, and Pearl. These are three different laser procedures that do different things. I prefer laser procedures over surface procedures like chemical peels and microdermabrasion because lasers treat the whole skin, not just the outermost layers. I also feel that laser procedures, when applied correctly and safely, have the most value per dollar spent because they usually affect more than one problem and do not require as many treatments. You could have five microdermabrasion treatments, for example, and your skin might be slightly smoother, but you still have redness and prominent texture and wrinkles. Five Laser Genesis treatments can significantly reduce

redness, texture, and pore size. I could write pages and pages addressing the various procedures that are available and what they do. Anyone can come to my office and have a complimentary consult and find out what I might recommend. I would caution you to consider that any treatment that you hear about that is strictly for the surface will only marginally improve sun damage and aging skin because they are only superficial. To get at long-standing sun and age-related damage you must go deeper; you must use some type of laser. What type is used will depend on your skin type (color, tanning, characteristics), overall sun exposure history, and goals. You may also have to endure some degree of recovery or down time. All of this, again, depends on what you are trying to achieve. Sometimes I ask my patients, “Where do you want to go and how fast do you want to get there?” Having said that, however, I don't think you have to be drastic in your approach – the more aggressive the procedure, the higher degree of risk of significant down time or injury. I try to tailor treatment protocols

Acquiring beautiful skin is a process that takes time and requires adopting healthy habits. to what the patient is trying to achieve. Skin health can take some time and effort. I don't believe that there is any new procedure available that can do anything magic. I think we are seeing newer, updated versions of the same devices. It’s been my professional experience that device companies allude to much greater results than their device actually delivers, and in the wrong hands can potentially do a great deal of damage. So be aware that there is no great quick fix for anything. I also believe that to achieve true skin health, you must pursue activities that promote body health. You must eat better – fruits and vegetables! You must drink more water. You must get more sleep and try to decrease stress. You must control your sun exposure and stop smoking! You

must exercise. Your body and therefore your skin is a living organism that must be fed and protected to live a long, full life. If you want to look better, you must be responsible and responsive to your skin and your body's needs. If you beat yourself up, you will look beat up. Promote your skin’s health by taking care of it. Protect it and feed it. Treat it with various procedures, if you can and if you want to. Your face and your body will thank you, and you will live a longer, healthier life because of your efforts.

Martial Arts Academy Now Serves Students in Tulsa, Broken Arrow & Bixby Owner Chris Velez has over 20 years of martial arts training and is excited to reach more students with the new location at 61st and Memorial.

By Sheryl Sowell Martial Arts Academy owner Chris Velez recently expanded his business from Owasso and opened a new location at 6022-A S. Memorial in Tulsa. Chris began practicing martial arts training at six years old at the Owasso Rec Center (now the YMCA). “I earned my first degree black belt in 1999 at the age of 16. I earned my fifth degree black belt in August of 2011,” Chris explains. “I’ve been instructing since 1998. My specialty is teaching children and passing that ability on to my other instructors. Our methods of instruction have been developed through firsthand experience and our openness to adjust training curriculum to what is best for the student, while maintaining the quality and integrity of traditional martial arts in a structured, respectful, and disciplined environment.” Chris opened Martial Arts Academy in Owasso in 2003, offering a full-time staff dedicating all of its attention to providing a consistent, professional, and therefore productive martial arts experience. He is excited to be able to reach even more students with the opening

of the Tulsa academy. “Our primary objective is developing leaders by way of martial arts training and their journey to black belt,” says Chris. “Our secondary objective is to create professional opportunities for students to make martial arts their livelihood, or for our younger students to make it a part of

their work experience if they choose, either in their short-term or long-term career path. We want to offer opportunities comparable to the opportunities a student may have through other avenues. The Tulsa expansion is the first step in fulfilling that goal, along with making ourselves available to the students who need and want our

type of training.” The new academy is conveniently located for Tulsa, Broken Arrow and Bixby students. “We chose 61st and Memorial as the physical location to make ourselves available to as many people as possible who want the type of family leadership training we offer – and not limit who we can

Page 9

serve because of location,” Chris adds. “Between Owasso and 61st and Memorial, we’re much closer to fulfilling these long-term goals.” Mr. Rick Gibson is the chief instructor at Martial Arts Academy in Tulsa. He has been the full-time program director in Owasso since 2007. The Tulsa program will match Owasso’s by focusing on families and kids and developing leaders through martial arts training. According to Chris, the proper instructor guidance, martial arts training, and a student’s journey to black belt will develop the attributes it takes to be a leader in any walk of life. “This is why we refer to a student’s training as leadership training,” he explains. “How we define black belt or black belt attitude in the Academy would be defined as a leader or leadership outside of the Academy.” The new Martial Arts Academy is located in the Copper Mountain Shopping Center at 61st and Memorial in Tulsa.

TTaste of Bixby The 5th annual event highlighting Bixby’s finest eateries takes place Thursday, June 7 at the SpiritBank Event Center. By Lorrie Ward Have you ever driven through a town, spotted several restaurants, and just wished you could try them all? Now you can in the city of Bixby. On Thursday night, June 7, the Bixby Metro Chamber of Commerce proudly presents the 5th annual Taste of Bixby at the SpiritBank Event Center from 5:30 to 8 p.m. On that night, representatives from many of Bixby’s finest eateries will form a circle around the center and create an ultimate banquet, providing samples of favorite dishes for attendees to enjoy as they listen to local artist Kevin Jameson play an acoustic set and create musical ambience for the meal. Tickets for the event are $10 per person and provide all you can eat of the town’s most delectable fare. “We’ve created this event to highlight area restaurants and wineries,” says Krystal Crockett, president and CEO of the Bixby Metro Chamber of Commerce. “It’s a time for partners and the public to get to know each other in an inexpensive and laid-back atmosphere.” Krystal describes Taste of Bixby as “the networking event of the year,” noting that it is being held

Doc’s Country Mart, one of the many participants in last year’s Taste of Bixby.

indoors this year to better facilitate this goal. “We started off having it in the park as an outdoor food festival,” she relates. “But with Oklahoma’s unpredictable weather, we found people were more focused on the outdoors than on the restaurants and each other.” This is Krystal’s third year with the chamber and with this event. She began her career there as office coordinator, and when the former chamber president took a position in another Oklahoma town in November of 2011, she assumed the position of CEO. “I’m excited that we can bring everyone together,” she says. “Last year we had over 400 attendees come and see what we have in Bixby.” Bixby has experienced phenomenal growth in the last two decades; in fact, it has grown 60 percent since the 2000 census, and the Tulsa Business Journal coined the phrase “The Bixby Effect” to describe the explosive growth in this previously small farm community. “Bixby is becoming more than just a commuter town – people want to play here,” says Krystal. “We have some of the best

schools in the area, now 6A in athletics. We are one of the safest cities of our size. We have worked hard to keep up with the growth.” As an example, she points to Bixby’s Bentley Park at 148th and Memorial, with its award-winning Splash Pad, Super Playground, and the Sports Quad, which plays host to sports teams from all over the nation. There is still time for restaurants who would like to participate to contact Krystal Crockett, who hopes this year’s Taste of Bixby will propel “The Bixby Effect” to even further heights. “We like that this gives us the opportunity to show what Bixby has to offer, not only in restaurants but the SpiritBank Event Center,” she says. “This is a great highlighting event for us.”

RRepair Facility of the Year Bill Knight Collision Repair received the national award from Farmers Insurance for the second year in a row. By Duane Blankenship Bill Knight Collision Repair received the Farmers Insurance Circle of Dependability/Eastern Division Repair Facility of the Year Award in 2010, and again in 2011. Winning the coveted award once is a great honor. Winning it two years in a row is unprecedented. Bill Knight is quick to praise his entire Bill Knight Collision Repair organization for the role each individual played in their selection to receive the award. “From our administrative staff to the technicians who performed the repairs,” said Knight, “all made positive contributions that played a part in our being selected.” The award was for Farmers’ Eastern Division of the United States, which encompasses every state from Oklahoma north, south, and east to the coastline. The selection was made from a total of 2,700 collision repair centers spread across the eastern half of the United States. Together, Knight and his collision repair team celebrated receiving the award at a luncheon as the award was presented by Farmers representatives. The winning selection was

Knight (center) is shown with Body Shop Director Dustin McElyea and Farmers Estimator Aaron Jenkins. made after considering the speed of repairs, quality of repairs, the working relationship between Farmers and the collision repair center, and survey scores sent back from customers receiving repair services. Farmers also conducts re-inspections of

work done by their certified repair centers. Bill Knight Collision Repair Body Shop Director Dustin McElyea added, “Our customer service representatives, our estimators, our technicians, and our parts department are all on

the same page and were all involved in our being the recipient of the Farmers Award. Our parts department has always embraced our Collision Repair Center, and this is just one of the reasons we’ve grown from one location to three in just three years.” Farmers Insurance, Bill Knight Collision Repair, and their customers want each vehicle to move quickly through the shop without sacrificing any repair quality. “When a Farmers customer brings a vehicle to us for repair, they’re treated just like we treat our own customers when they come in to buy a car, obtain recommended services, or need collision repairs,” said Knight. “Our entire staff treats customers the way each of us wants to be treated by others.” It’s no wonder they have been selected to receive the Circle of Dependability Repair Facility of the Year Award two years running.

asked Farmers to join them in the project of refurbishing a van to be given to the DVIS shelter. All Farmers agents statewide participated in the project. The van was reconditioned to likenew condition and filled with toys, cooking and cleaning supplies, and other items needed at DVIS shelters. “Farmers and Bill Knight Automotive have had a long-term, successful business relationship that paved the way to our jointly giving something back to the Tulsa area,” said Kevin Davis. “Farmers was overwhelmed by just how great an experience it was for our organization, encompassing all employees and agents.” Kevin is the life and financial specialist in the Farmers Insurance Oklahoma state office. Bill Knight Collision Repair works on all makes and models of vehicles, and the Bill Knight organization cherishes the long-term trust they have built with customers. That same trust has built a fabric of great relationships. Like Bill Knight says in his advertising campaign, “Go to the name you can trust.”

GGet Your Motor Running for the Blowout Sapulpa’s 23rd annual Route 66 Blowout will be held Saturday, June 2 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. By Joshua Danker-Dake Sapulpa Main Street’s 23rd annual Route 66 Blowout Car Show and Festival is Saturday, June 2 on Dewey Avenue in historic downtown Sapulpa. Attracting over 10,000 people each year, the Route 66 Blowout, Sapulpa’s largest annual event, will offer fun for the whole family. One of the Route 66 Blowout’s biggest draws each year is the car show, which began with 35 cars and a single parking lot in 1989, and has grown into one of Sapulpa’s most popular

events. “We now have 46 different classes for classic cars and trucks,” says Kallie McGuire, director of Sapulpa Main Street. “And back this year are the motorcycles. For the first time, the motorcycles are going to have their own classes – 12 of them – and this is going to be a permanent addition to our show. We’d been asked so many times since last year’s Blowout whether the motorcycles would be back, and we’ve had a great response to their return. The motorcycle community loves to ride Route

All of downtown Sapulpa’s retail shops will be open too, so you can stop in and cool off in their air conditioned stores. There will be plenty of food vendors as well. Sapulpa Arts will host a Route 66 Art Show and Sale, and will feature an Art Zone on Water Street between Dewey and Lee, where work from local artists – professionals, amateurs, children, and teens – will be on display. Sapulpa Main Street is a non-profit organization that works to keep downtown Sapulpa thriving and to preserve its historic buildings with a focus on design, economic

“Where beauty meets science”

If you suffer from diabetes, sleep apnea, high blood pressure or other obesity-related health conditions, then adjustable gastric banding surgery may be an option for you. Gastric banding surgery is a safe, proven, and affordable weight loss method.

Emerge Medical Spa offers LipoDissolve!

Call 918-392-2806 or register online today for one of our FREE gastric banding seminars. www.lapbandcenterofoklahoma.com

During the LipoDissolve procedure, your doctor injects the therapeutic cocktail into the fat layers. The injection is relatively painless, with no need for anesthesia. The medication produces a chemical reaction to dissolve localized areas of fat. Typically, benefits are seen within three weeks of treatment. Several treatments, four to six weeks apart, are often required to produce the maximum result. There is very little downtime after LipoDissolve, which is usually mild discomfort to the treated area.

Seminars will be held at 7:00pm on June 14th and June 28th.

Many people request this service as it is great for small areas like under the chin, inner thigh, abdomen, just under the bra strap area on the back, anywhere that is around the size of a piece of notebook paper. One injection is $350.

AA-maize-ing Festival Fun The Bixby Green Corn Festival will be June 28-30, 2012 at Charley Young Park in downtown Bixby. By Lorrie Ward It all started in the 1930s when Bixby area residents gathered every year to celebrate the corn harvest. Then in the 1970s, the Bixby Optimist Club organized an event that has lasted to present day: the Bixby Green Corn Festival. Being held June 28-30, 2012 at Charley Young Park in downtown Bixby, this year’s festival promises to keep and expand on what has already become an important local tradition. “We are excited to present this event for the community again this year,” says Don Crall, music coordinator for the Bixby Optimist Club, who describes an exciting musical lineup for the Green Corn Festival. Musical performances on Thursday and Friday (June 28-29) have been scheduled for evenings to take advantage of cooler temperatures. On Thursday, “Gospel Night” kicks off at 7 p.m., featuring both adult and youth bands from New Beginnings Church. Friday night again opens at 7 p.m., with what Don calls “a musical treat”— patriotic selections from Tulsa Praise Orchestra, a renowned

Carnival rides will be Thursday through Saturday during the festival. group that was asked to perform for US Senator Jim Inhofe and Vice President Dick Cheney at the recent 125th anniversary of the Statue of Liberty in New York City. “We are very excited to have their participation,” says

Don. At 8 p.m., country singer Ronnie Furr will take the stage and finish up this inspiring evening of music. On Saturday, festival attendees will hear the music of Dylan Whitney from 3 p.m. to

4 p.m. and Jackie Jackson from 4:30 to 5, followed by Brenda Lyles and Cripple Creek from 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. Danny Davis and the Dirt Road Detours will wrap up Saturday’s music from 9 p.m. to midnight. The Bixby Green Corn Festival carnival opens Thursday and runs through Saturday, and there will be plenty of games, vendors and food selection. As always, there are several fun, oldfashioned events planned for this year. “We’re bringing back the underwear race on Friday,” says Don, describing it as a six-legged race with a team of three people in a huge pair of underwear. “We also have added a new event: the Friday night cart races with a pedal car race for adults and pedal tractor race for those ages 6 and under.” Saturday is filled with traditional Bixby Green Corn Festival favorites like box turtle and bull frog races in the morning from 8:30 to 10. Signups for this event are really important, according to Don, and take place at 8:30 for the box turtle race, which starts at 9, and the bull frog race at 9:30.

At 9 a.m. in Bentley Park will be horseshoes. At 10 a.m. there will be a parade, followed by a fun day of games, including hula hooping (11:30 a.m.), corn eating (noon), three-legged sack race (12:30 p.m.), sack race (1 p.m.), watermelon eating (1:30 p.m.), watermelon seed spitting (2 p.m.), football toss (2:30 p.m.), limbo (3 p.m.), balloon toss (3:30 p.m.), egg toss (4 p.m.) and nickel in the haystack (4:30 p.m.). Most games are divided into two categories: ages 12 and under and ages 13 and up, with the exception of limbo, which is for everyone, and nickel in the haystack, for ages six and under. Don expects another great turnout for this event, which is the Optimist Club’s biggest fundraiser of the year, with funds directly going back to Bixby’s youth through scholarships and donations to projects like the splash pad at Charley Young Park. “We are about bringing out the best in kids,” says Don. “We believe positively affecting the lives of children positively affects the community, and in teaching children that service to community is a service to themselves.”

RRock A Wish The Rock A Wish Concert & Car Show benefitting the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Oklahoma will take place Saturday, June 30 at the SpiritBank Event Center. By Sheryl Sowell For a full day of fun while supporting a worthy cause, mark your calendar for Saturday, June 30, 2012. The inaugural Rock A Wish Concert & Car Show will be held from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. at the SpiritBank Event Center. Festivities will include a car show, exhibit booths, concessions and live music throughout the day, as well hourly door prizes and a silent auction. All proceeds will benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation®. Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door. Kids 12 and under are admitted free with adult admission. Angela and Chris Glidden spearheaded Rock A Wish. Their company, Everything Events, coordinates several charitable events each year. Recently one of their clients wanted to host an event that would make a difference in people’s lives, but could not decide which organization to benefit. Angela and Chris suggested the Make-A-Wish Foundation®, because Angela has had firsthand experience with this wonderful organization. Their son Brandon, who has

sent Brandon and Angela, along with 50 other kids and their families from around the United States who had made the same

www.ValueNews.com wish. “People tend to stare at children with disabilities,” says Angela. “But everyone we met was so wonderful and made Brandon feel just like a regular kid. The experience was so positive and really encouraged us to help other kids have their wishes granted.” The Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Oklahoma grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. The cost is approximately $7,000 to grant one wish, and currently 150 children in Oklahoma are waiting for their wish to be granted. Since being founded in 1987, our state chapter has granted more than 1,900 wishes to eligible Oklahoma children. Rock A Wish will feature a full entertainment roster throughout the day. The evening headliners are Dressed to Kill, a Kiss tribute band, and Billion Dollar Koopers, a tribute to Alice Cooper. Other musical acts include The Danny Baker Band, Under the Gun, The Moving Company, Tulsa’s Cold Case, Sweatin’ Bullets, STUN, and Octane Blue. “All of the bands have donated their time and talents to support the event,” adds Chris.

Local celebrities will judge the cars and award trophies, and attendees can vote on their favorite vehicle

for People’s Choice. Other fun activities on the lineup include a rock star lookalike contest and an air guitar competition. You may even walk out of Rock A Wish with more than you go in with.

Working to Improve Lives Since 1927 W Goodwill Industries of Tulsa celebrates 85 years of giving back to Tulsa.

By Duane Blankenship Goodwill Industries of Tulsa has changed a lot over the past 85 years; headquarters have grown, as have their services. Goodwill reaches out with new programs and services, training facilities, and retail stores. But Goodwill’s mission has not changed in 85 years: they continue to promote and make possible for every individual the dignity and self-sufficiency that comes with employment. It all boils down to people working, lives improved. In 2011, Goodwill gave back to our community more than $79 million in economic and fiscal benefit. According to David Oliver, Goodwill president, “In 2012, we’ll continue to expand our services to individuals who need employment and companies who need workers.” On May 1, 2012, locals celebrated Goodwill’s 2011 award winners at their annual luncheon at the Southern Hills Marriott. Opening remarks and recognition of luncheon sponsors was made by Mark Bradshaw, evening news anchor of KTUL. Awards were presented by Goodwill’s Sabrina Ware and David Oliver. Community Partner honors went to Tulsa Transit. Presenter

Goodwill’s 2011 award winners included Brian Faust, Samuel Littles, and Jonathan Shacklett, shown with KTUL evening news anchor Mark Bradshaw (second from right). Sabrina Ware said they have been a great partner with Goodwill by hiring graduates that were prepared for working at Tulsa Transit, taking students on tours, and participating in mock interviews performed with students. Tulsa Transit has been sensitive to the transportation needs of Goodwill and what is important to the organization and students. Achiever of the Year was awarded to Samuel Littles. From early in life, Samuel faced huge

obstacles. He wasn’t diagnosed with a displaced hip until age 17. His mother died, and Samuel began treating his medical condition with alcohol. After entering Goodwill’s TulsaWORKS program in 2002, Sam still couldn’t hold down a job, mostly because of his drinking. He lost his sister and only remaining family member in 2011, but didn’t turn to alcohol. He continued his hardfought journey to sobriety and has now been sober for more than a year. In August, 2011,

Samuel was hired by Sam’s Club in Tulsa Hills, where he continues to work today. He is providing for himself and says, “It’s a pleasure working and winning as a team.” Sam has discovered the glory of rising after a fall. Jonathan Shacklett was honored as Employee of the Year and loves his job at the 38th and Harvard Goodwill Donation Center. Jon was born with Prader-Willi Syndrome, a complex genetic disorder that causes chronic hunger, rigid stubbornness, and other physical and intellectual limitations. It took a special job environment to allow Jon to succeed at work. Today, Jon helps new hires at the center learn their jobs and keeps his group on task. He has an ability to motivate others, a great sense of humor, and helps keep the work environment positive and fun, noted his job coach. Jon’s parents are proud of his hard work, which has given him the opportunity to earn a paycheck and live independently and provide for himself and his cats. Jon is a willing and able contributor to the Tulsa working community. Graduate of the Year honors went to Brian Faust. Brian came to Goodwill the summer of 2009

for transitional work adjustment training while getting ready for his senior year of high school. He needed to learn how to conduct himself at work. Doing everything he was asked to do, he still goofed around during work time. His program instructor helped Brian understand that “horseplay” was not appropriate in the workplace. In 2011, he started in the supported employment program and landed a lot attendant position at Home Depot. He now stays on task, has developed appropriate workplace relationships, loads customer orders, collects shopping carts, and helps stock lawn and garden supplies. He provides the high level of customer service his employer expects and has a bright future ahead of him. Congratulations to all the Goodwill award recipients!

Kick Into a Fit Lifestyle know he practices the disciplines he teaches. “Growing up in Kellyville, I had a strong connection to this area and wanted to try to give something back to the Tulsa community,” he stated. “I hope Thunderkick Fitness will be a great benefit to all area residents, giving young and old alike a great opportunity to learn MMA and experience the great feeling of getting into shape.” Longacre says he’s here to stay. Although the past several months have found Longacre working hard to get his new gym completed and open, he has still found time to reach out by speaking to kids in surrounding communities. He has had speaking engagements at his

alma mater, Kellyville High School, and at a juvenile detention center in Enid. He enjoys sharing his experiences of life while growing up, his love of mixed martial arts, and his career. He is a great example that even though you may come from a small town, you still have the opportunity to do big things with your life. Longacre teaches the styles he was raised on, which is a combination of taekwondo and Goju-Ryu. He and his staff also teach other disciplines that include boxing, wrestling, kickboxing, and of course, MMA. “I want to combine all of these specialties into one to help my students become true mixed martial artists and able to adapt to any situation,” he explains. “I want to challenge my students,

young or old, not to be one-dimensional.” “Some people think that mixed martial arts encourages violence, but in reality it does just the opposite,” Longacre adds. Students are not taught to go out and start fights. They are, however, taught how to defend themselves if ever they are in a situation where they have no choice. Longacre says that a lot of the fight stances they teach students are with their hands up in the air. This stance itself shows the aggressor that the person “under attack” is trying to avoid confrontation. Students are taught to defend themselves if, and only when, they have no alternative. Longacre is currently focusing his attention on staying in great condition

A Stone’s Throw from a More Beautiful Home business is instantly obvious as you approach the beautiful new offices and showrooms. The showrooms will include samples of products and color variations available from Stone Mill. The outdoor showroom redesign will include a huge patio with an outdoor kitchen and fireplace, plus nice product display areas. Visiting the showrooms provides opportunities to complete preliminary concepts you’ve been carrying in your mind. “Our primary objective,” says Susan, “is to provide customers with innovative concrete building materials that are specifically designed to exceed expectations while adding lasting value.” The company caters to homeowner do-it-yourselfers and the commercial trades. They also offer an array of quality installation services for your convenience and project efficiency while being committed to helping you achieve your every project goal. “We have a desire to excel in superior quality products, friendly, helpful service,

installations by experienced, creative masons, and ultimate customer satisfaction,” says Susan. Stone Mill Manufactured Stone products have many advantages. Each is made of Portland cement, light-weight aggregate, and iron-oxide pigments guaranteed not to fade. The products are just as resilient as natural stone while offering great looks and durability at less than half the cost of installing real stone. And manufactured stone doesn’t require the same structural supports as natural stone. Stone Mill products come in patterns and colors that are not found locally in nature, and they can be applied directly to walls with mortar. “Installation is two to six times quicker than natural stone,” adds Susan. Stone Mill’s manufactured stone is environmentally friendly, creates less waste than natural stone, and is much lighter, which equates to fewer dollars spent for shipping. In addition to being fire, insect, and mold resistant, it is maintenance free. Manufactured stone creates a sense of

permanence and strength that is indistinguishable from that of real stone. Stone Mill provides a 50-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects when used on structures that conform to local building codes and when installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Existing stone applications manufactured from Stone Mill’s exact processes have been in service for decades, showing superb performance in every way. Stone Mill Manufactured Stone products include stone, keystones, wall caps, window sills, corner quoins, trim stones, and more. They also offer a selection of pavers in various patterns. The Stone Mill technicians who make their products are experts in their field. Susan and Steve both apprenticed under Hugh Anglin, who was one of the first in this part of Oklahoma to begin producing manufactured stones. Hugh was well known for producing a quality stone and conducted business as 52 Stone. Susan and Steve eventually bought 52 Stone and

Dig Up Some Fun at Black Gold Days food, crafts, a parade, and live music. Great Plains Amusement will provide the carnival atmosphere. “We’re very excited about the carnival this year; it’s bigger, and we’ve heard nothing but great reviews on all the rides,” says Jennifer Cook, president and CEO of the Glenpool Chamber of Commerce. Quality live entertainment will go on throughout the festival, including Jimmy Henley from “Hee Haw,” Pake McEntire (Reba’s brother), South 40, and more. Food vendor offerings will range from Cajun and German delights to the traditional staples – corn dogs, turkey legs and kettle corn. A very exciting addition to the festival this year is the first-ever Mr. and Miss Black Gold Pageant. The pageant will be held Thursday, June 14. Registration is at 6:30 p.m., and the event starts at 7. Sunny and Rowdy from KVOO will be on hand as emcee and a judge, respectively. Every participant will win something, and Miss Black Gold Days will have the honor of leading the parade on Saturday, June 16. No experience is necessary.

Knee Replacement Paid Off in the Long Run Free of pain thanks to knee replacement surgery performed by Dr. LaButti, Carl McMann is again able to serve others.

By Duane Blankenship Carl McMann has spent most of his life as an athlete. He grew up in Sapulpa, where he met his wife Carla and graduated from Sapulpa High School. He served his country during Vietnam, Desert Storm, and Desert Shield, and did two tours of duty in Germany. Carl has been stationed in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Japan, and Hawaii while serving his 27-year career in the United States Army and Army Reserve. He retired a sergeant major in March of 1993. Carl was selected to represent the Army as a marathoner for three years early in his duty. He ran over 3,500 miles during that time. Carl was competing in the Trans-Mountain Marathon in El Paso, Texas when he began feeling pain in his back and knee, but he kept on running and finished the race. During this run, athletes gain one mile in altitude after starting at sea level. They then have to turn around and run back down to sea level. At about the 12-and-a-half mile mark, pain hit Carl, marking the beginning of the near unbearable aching he came to endure in both his knees. He had always enjoyed

Since his knee replacement surgery by Dr. LaButti, Carl McMann is again able to serve others through involvement with his church. hunting, but with the pain in both his knees was forced to give up hunting and many other physical activities he enjoyed. In 2006, Carl’s left knee had become a big issue. It was tough

going up stairs and much worse going down stairs. He was miserable trying to sleep at night and, in short, Carl was experiencing excruciating pain 24 hours each and every day.

He was finally introduced to Dr. Ronald LaButti and scheduled to have knee replacement surgery on his left knee. After surgery, Carl immediately found himself anxious to get on the road to complete recovery. He actually pushed a little too hard and was cautioned to keep up the good work, but not to overdo it. Dr. LaButti had hoped for Carl to reach the optimistic point of 120 degrees of flexibility in his improving left knee and was elated when he reached 131 degrees. Carl worked hard during his therapy and surprised everyone with his astounding progress. Carl had dodged tackling stairs again after his surgery for fear the knee would buckle on him. To his amazement, the first time he tried a stairway, he had no problem with the ascent or the descent. He was able to start deer hunting again and recently laid the new wood flooring in his home. He has acquired his commercial driver’s license and is the go-to driver for his church. He drives for the pre-school, Seniors on the Go, various youth activities, Meals on Wheels, and as a member of the church’s tape ministry, delivers sermon tapes

and Sunday bulletins to shut-ins each week. Carl has also been recruited by several church members and friends and is now a beginner mason. “I just can’t tell you how much I admire and respect Dr. LaButti and his staff,” says Carl. “They all have such a caring attitude and make you feel special. Carla and I actually feel like we’re part of their family.” Carl and Dr. LaButti are scheduling surgery in the near future to replace Carl’s right knee. Carl’s words of advice to others experiencing pain from tired and worn-out knees is, “When it’s time, schedule the replacement surgery and get it done as soon as possible. Do exactly what the doctor and therapists tell you to do. And push yourself to your limits. You’ll enjoy the rewards.”

PPonder the Beauty The 20th annual Green Country Water Garden Society Pond Tour will be held June 23-24, 2012. By Lorrie Ward It makes up 70 percent of the earth’s surface. It constitutes 70 percent of our brains. With water being so big a part of who we are, it isn’t any wonder that the sight and sound of water often soothes and inspires the human spirit. It also isn’t any wonder that the Green Country Water Garden Society Pond Tour has spread over the last 20 years from Tulsa into many of its surrounding areas. Homes on the tour will be open on Saturday, June 23 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, June 24 from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. “We have 22 ponds on this year’s tour, with ponds in Sapulpa, Sand Springs, Bixby, Broken Arrow, Collinsville, and even as far away as Adair,” says Melanie Allen, president of GCWGS. “We have decided to spread out from Tulsa and really live up to the name ‘Green Country.’” Displayed on the tour are some of Green Country’s loveliest backyard water gardens and ponds in all kinds of arrangements, from gentle brooks to plunging waterfalls. In the last two decades, landscapers and water garden enthusiasts

have made great strides in water garden development, and this will be evident to those who view the intricate rock designs and water filtration systems along the tour. These ponds are

not only set up to be pleasing to the eye and create a relaxing atmosphere, but to provide a natural habitat for fish and birds as well. A plethora of waterfriendly plants and flowers

Jody Porter and Melanie Allen invite you to Green Country Water Garden Society’s 20th annual Pond Tour.

surround and fill the ponds, completing the natural effect. And just as in nature, each pond is unique, as the pond owner has designed it according to his or her own imagination and taste. “Through this tour, GCWGS provides the opportunity for interested parties to share ideas and experiences, successes and pitfalls relating to the care and enjoyment of ponds,” says Jody Porter, a member of GCWGS and owner of Hardscape Materials Outdoor Living Center, along with her husband Brad. “People can learn about aquatic plants and fish while enjoying ponds built by both weekend warriors and professional pond builders.” Hardscape is the presenting sponsor of the Green Country Water Garden Society Pond Tour, with other major sponsors including Anderson Pond Design and BZT Pond and Koi Products. Tickets for the pond tour are $5 and are available at Hardscape Materials, Southern Agriculture, and on the Green Country Water Garden Society website, www.gcwgs.com. Tickets will also be available at

tour homes. In years past, GCWGS has provided a magazine filled with information about the different ponds and about water gardening in general, and this year’s magazine will be the actual ticket for the event, gaining the holder entrance into any of the ponds on the tour. Also new this year: Jody Porter has set up a GPS routing system with all of the tour home locations. To obtain information about this, email Jody at jody@hardscapematerials.com. The Green Country Water Garden Society is dedicated to educating Green Country about the how-to’s – and resulting joys – of water gardening. This nonprofit society meets the second Tuesday of every month at the Tulsa Garden Center at 2435 S. Peoria and is a supporter of the Linnaeus Teaching Garden. Another main focus of the club is to provide scholarships to horticulture students. The GCWGS Pond Tour is the club’s main fundraiser of the year, but it is also its way of introducing its passion to the public. “If you are interested in gardening and water features,” says Jody, “this pond tour is your gateway to the ‘Pond Life.’”

What is Sideslip? Sideslip is an indicator of how fast your tires will wear. High Readings will result in rapid tire wear. Why Test Sideslip? Tires are expensive. Correcting excessive sideslip can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars over the life of your vehicle!
