BY ERICA LUDWIG he season of springcleaning is fast approaching and people everywhere rejoice.

Finally, you can start fresh by de-cluttering your space as the temperatures rise again. In the midst of home renovations and summer break, don’t forget the best place to start: outside.

Flowers will bloom and grass will get greener, but what better place to start than with what greets you every morning and afternoon: the driveway.

Renovating the driveway is a timely task, especially after the wear and tear of winter.

Years of winter snow, ice and corrosive salt covering the driveway inevitably deteriorate the concrete. This causes it to become pitted and flaked, transforming into a real eyesore. The deterioration gradually worsens until it has a negative effect on your home’s visual appeal, and even its value. An old cracked driveway cannot only be unsightly, but also dangerous.

Kalan Paul, owner of LCI Concrete, offers a simple solution. Kalan and his team “do driveways”. Projects are completed

in one to two days time.

Kalan is highly rated with 20 years of experience to show for it, and this is his 12th year in business with LCI Concrete.

“In the home improvement marketplace, we feel like we provide a valuable service at an affordable price in an effort to keep potential clients/customers from getting taken advantage of. We just like to give our customers’ houses an updated look that should last about 30 to 40 years,” he says. “Concrete is also environmentally friendly, as it is composed of renewable resources that can be recycled into granular fill or concrete aggregate.”

LCI Concrete first lays 3/8-inch rebar on industry recommended two-foot grid patterns after the subsurface has been properly prepared.

Using industry standards of 3500 psi, the concrete is then poured and finished.

Upgrades are available at a low cost. As for payment, LCI doesn’t collect money up front, but upon completion and customer satisfaction. They also offer 100% financing with approved credit.

BIXBY, JENKS, & SAPULPA JUNE 2017

“We have one goal – to make every customer proud of their new LCI Concrete product that will service them well for decades to come,” says Kalan.

As you plan your next big project, don’t overlook your driveway and walkways.

These two areas may seem less glamorous, but they really are

an investment worth making and help boost the overall appeal of your home’s entrance.

ISN’T IT TIME TO BECOME AN RV OWNER?

BY DUANE BLANKENSHIP

raig Goldrich grew up in New York City and has had a most interesting past leading him to his current position as owner of four Tulsa RV locations. His journey has included that of car salesman, a traveling RV salesman on the east coast and travels to many regional and national RV expos in the far western part of the country.

While traveling through Oklahoma one year, Goldrich was forced to stop in the Tulsa area for repairs on his own fifth wheel.

While visiting with the owner of the repair shop, Goldrich said, “Selling RVs is what I do.” The shop’s main business was repairs and service, but the owner confided that he did have some consignments on his lot. One thing led to another, the owner was impressed with Craig and his knowledge of the RV industry, so he offered him a job. Goldrich accepted and was now an Okie.

Seven years ago Goldrich had the opportunity to purchase the lease and Tulsa RV name. Today there are four Tulsa RV locations: The West lot specializes in sales, parts and service and is located at 15525 E Admiral Pl in Tulsa; The Pre-Owned lot does sales of used and consignment units and is located at 16711 E Admiral Pl in Tulsa; the East lot provides sales and service and is located at 20213 E Admiral Pl in Catoosa; and the newest, recently opened facility

COOKIE CUTTER OR UNIQUE?

BY CHRISTOPHER BEACH

ookie cutter funerals have no place for most families anymore. People have real ideas of how they want their funeral to be for the friends, family members and the loved ones they leave behind.

The problem is that most people don’t plan ahead for that special day that is designed to honor the dearly departed while ministering to the hurting hearts left behind. As a result, the sole decisions are left in the hands of the ones who are still reeling from the sudden loss.

Fortunately, Bixby Funeral Service has opened up their doors for free advanced planning for individuals and families to come and plan out their wishes in advance. They are discovering that people are loving this option.

“I’ve had so many families tell me it wasn’t the burden they thought it would be,” says Jack Selby, who started the funeral service with his wife Carol in 1983.

“They’ve told me, ‘This is actually fun.’ That

C

means a lot to us and we know it means a lot to their families. It’s all about celebrating the life of your loved one while planning ahead.”

Funeral planner Jody Greene said he and his wife Kara, both directors at Bixby Funeral Service, like to remember that funerals can and should be as unique as the individual’s life that is being celebrated.

“There are a lot of really unique things people are starting to do with their services here,” Jody shares. “With our RiverCrest Event Center, many are making funerals and memorials an ‘experience’ for those who attend. Oftentimes, guests leave with a parting gift that reminds them of their loved one or perhaps the service is followed by a reception with catering that allows family and friends to talk and connect over those special memories of their loved one.”

So how exactly does a family plan out the experience they want to leave their friends and family with?

Selby says to everyone:

“Have the talk. Get together around a cup of coffee and say, ‘Hey mom and dad, what do you want to have at your funeral?

How do you want your life celebrated? What do you want said? How do you want to be remembered?

“We even encourage people to think about the funerals and memorial services that have been a meaningful part of their past, as they’ve been given the irreplaceable opportunity to say farewell and to gather with family and friends as people stop their lives to be together during these moments.

“Then, he added, you and your family will come in for a free g pre-planning ere session where an you can plan ole out the whole

thing and keep it on file.

Then when the day comes, everything is all set. With pre-planning, there is also an option to pre-fund those wishes. This is where you begin to put money aside a little at a time even if you want to spread it out over a 3-year or 5-year payment plan.”

So, what do you want your funeral or memorial to look like? Contact Bixby Funeral Service today to begin making your own unique plans.

EXCITING UPGRADES

BY DANA PUGH

wasso Liquor & Wine has been serving Owasso’s retail liquor needs since 1991. With their constantly changing inventory and an incredibly friendly and helpful staff, shopping at Owasso Liquor & Wine is an experience like no other. The store is 10,000 square feet chock full of beer, liquor and wine products that range from everyday favorites to something entirely new and unique. The vast selection is impressive and it is also constantly growing and changing. Customers are encouraged to come in and explore the store to see all that they have to offer.

“Take a look at this inventory and it’s word class,” said Andy O’Neal, who runs the family business with his twin brother Scott O’Neal. “We’re not striving to be number one just in Owasso, we’re striving to be number one in the state of Oklahoma. Right now we’re expanding our wine and liquor selection, and we’re expecting new beers to come in any time.”

Customer service has always been the number one goal at Owasso Liquor & Wine, and the outstanding selection is just a part of their commitment to their customers. Andy said that they strive to stock every beer that’s

O

available for sale in the state of Oklahoma, and if they don’t have what you’re looking for they will special order most products in just one working day.

Andy and his staff are gearing up for any upcoming changes to Oklahoma’s liquor laws, and there are some exciting upgrades in the works.

Depending on upcoming changes to the existing laws, Andy said they are looking forward to potentially adding Sunday sales, longer hours and refrigeration in the store, and that they are also sketching out ideas for a new store layout. They are planning to implement the changes as soon as the laws are changed.

“We’re kind of curious about how

they’re going to write the laws so we can get this thing started, because we’re ready to go,” he added.

The family-owned and operated business is a welcoming hometown store for customers from Owasso, and Andy said that customers also come from all over the area to shop the expansive inventory. The O’Neals are proud to be members of the Owasso community, and they generously offer weddings, special events and special orders at cost as a way to give back and to help local charity events succeed.

“We are probably the only liquor store in Owasso that is actually from Owasso, currently living in Owasso, and run by an Owasso Family,” said Andy. “My wife works here, my brother-inlaw works here, and my twin and I are the owners. We used our experience from the wholesale beer business to expand into the retail liquor establishment that we are today.”

Andy says that if you haven’t been to Owasso Liquor & Wine recently, come in to check them out because they’re doing some exciting things.

Andy O’Neal and his knowledgeable staff are always available to offer expert advice and to help customers find what they need.

RAISING THE ROOF IN THE INDUSTRY

BY AMY BETH DOBBINS

W

ith close to fifty years of combined experience in the roofing business, these four childhood friends—Cass Benner, Ricky Stanley, Brad Parson and Chris Merriott— struck out on their own to start NuRoof & Construction. With stiff competition in the field, their business philosophy was simple: provide a topnotch experience to the customer through quality workmanship, superior products and, above all else, integrity.

Committed to customer service, the company staffs an internal claims specialist, someone dedicated to assisting a customer through the

entire insurance claim filing process. The partners are also available to meet onsite with an insurance adjustor to walk through any inspection, making sure that a repair need is not neglected. Additionally, NuRoof offers a free inspection wherein the customer is given honest feedback as to whether or not it is even beneficial for him to place an insurance claim depending on the level of a needed repair.

When contracted for a job, NuRoof & Construction does not accept payment until the job is completed.

In addition to re-roofing services, NuRoof & Construction handles roofing for new construction as well as

concrete work, guttering and painting. Whatever the job, NuRoof prides itself in being hands-on from start to finish. “We do everything in a timely manner…it is a quick turnaround, and we do not cut corners,” explains Cass Benner. Every roof comes with a ten year warranty as to workmanship. Further, the partners at NuRoof are dedicated to continual improvement, undergoing continuing education on a regular basis to stay abreast of new and changing products and materials.

The results? NuRoof & Construction continues to grow and flourish, becoming a leader in the industry. “We now have five full-time sales reps

and three full crews,” notes Cass Benner. They are also expanding their space with a new office currently under construction.

The company is also making its mark on the community as a whole, supporting the local police and fire departments as well as contributing and sponsoring other needs that come its way.

With hard work and dedication to integrity coming standard in every bid, it is little wonder that NuRoof continues to take the roofing industry throughout Northeastern Oklahoma by storm.

f you’re planning your own Fourth of July celebration this year, the Castle of Muskogee has the fireworks to get your party started with a bang!

Family founded, locally operated and community oriented, the Castle Fireworks is the perfect place to design your own patriotic tribute to our country.

The Castle has 37,000 square feet of retail space filled to the rafters with prices that fit any budget. From novelty fireworks for smaller children to some of the biggest displays around, their selection of more than 590 different items is huge. Even better, their fireworks sale supports the community as a perfect summer job for local high school students.

Each year, the Castle provides more than 150 employment

opportunities to local teens during their summer break. They receive training in customer service and they learn to work in a retail environment, boosting their resumes and giving them valuable work experience that will help them build bright futures.

“Leading up to the season, these kids are able to work on assembling the assortments, and they’re learning more about the fireworks as they go,” said Matt Hiller, owner of the Castle of Muskogee. “Then, they’re able to be knowledgeable, helpful fireworks sales people when it comes time to be on the sales floor.”

Those helpful young sales people will be available to answer your questions and to handle your fireworks until you check out. While you’re shopping, use your phone to scan the QR codes found on product signage to see videos of the different types of firework in action.

Choose your old favorites or try something new from the huge selection of pre-bundled

The Castle inspects fireworks through the American Fireworks Standards Laboratory before they leave China to assure your safety.

All fireworks are inspected again by the Consumer Product Safety Commission once they get to the United States.

“We guarantee all of our fireworks, said Hiller. “I’m here on the 5th of July with a full money back guarantee. If an item fails to light, bring it back, it’s guaranteed.

We take very good care of our fireworks. The fireworks are in better shape when they come out of our warehouse and get to the showroom floor than they were in when we got them.”

The Castle is air-conditioned, with accessible restrooms, plenty of paved parking and knowledgeable and friendly sales people to assist you. The annual fireworks sale lasts from June 15th through July 5th, with special discount pricing throughout the showroom.

When you can shop in a Castle, why shop anywhere else?

JUDY KNOWS SOMETHING ABOUT SAVING SENIORS

BY CHRISTOPHER BEACH & GINGER FORD

ust ask 67-year-old Judy whether or not one person in one company can make a difference. Her agent, Amy Davis, made that difference for her and now Ms. Judy is passing it on making a difference in many seniors’ lives each week.

When Judy started working for Pioneer Financial Group two years ago, she was just about to turn 65.

Her agent helped her find the best Medicare supplement and drug plan for her budget. Just months later, she discovered her cancer from six years earlier had come back.

The Medicare Supplement covered all of her out of pocket expenses and her drug plan covered her prescriptions, including a very expensive trial drug saving her thousands of dollars. Judy is now in remission and continues to work with Pioneer Financial Group on the phone offering seniors Medicare Supplement comparisons.

“All of this happened to me for a reason,” Judy says. “Why I was

placed here to work, why I survived cancer … now I can be here every day to help other people.”

Because she has a Medicare Supplement herself, Judy understands the needs and concerns of the senior market. Her best advice to seniors is: 1) Never call an 800 number to sign up for insurance. An 800 number is not an advocate when you have a problem with your Medicare supplement or have an insurance need. You need an agent.

2) Never enroll with a company that sells only one product. The insurance company will never call you when you have a price increase. At Pioneer, we are a broker appointed with multiple companies and can shop many options to make sure your needs are met at a cost that is right for you. If you have any increase, we can shop to find you a better rate with another company. We work for you, not the insurance company.

3) Never enroll in an Advantage Plan.

If you have an illness, the out of pocket expenses can be exorbitant.

As a cancer survivor, Ms. Judy knows how valuable an agent can be. Not only will an agent assist you in

The Pioneer Financial Group team can help you set up the same type of Medicare Supplements that saved employee Judy’s life. From L to R: Mark Davis, Judy, Ginger Ford, and Matt Durrum.

choosing the right supplement, but that agent will also be there to keep the cost of your supplement and prescription drug plan down and shop it if you have an increase. This could be a savings of hundreds of dollars each year.

Thirteen years ago, Jason and Ginger Ford started Pioneer Financial group after they’d been in the insurance business for more than 10 years. They had ideas and values about what a company serving seniors should be. Their goal is to meet the financial and insurance needs of the senior market including Medicare supplements, financial planning, home and auto, commercial, longterm care and life insurance.

Pioneer Financial Group is a local firm with agents across the state. One of our agents would love to be that difference maker for you.
