Serve & Send the Best this Holiday Season GET COOKING WITH HONEY BAKED HAM’S FAST, EASY AND DELICIOUS HOME-STYLE TURKEY, HAM, SIDE DISHES AND DELICIOUS DESSERTS!
BY TERESA BOND-MASON
I
n the late 1950s, Harry Hoenselaar founded the first Honey Baked Ham Co. and Café. Harry had a unique method of cooking and spiral slicing his hams that no one else in the business had done. Today the same great hams and other meats are sold at the Honey Baked Ham Co. at the corner of 61st and Memorial in Tulsa. Owner Lee Griffin has actually worked for the company 20 years before opening his own franchise. “I was involved in every aspect of the business from learning how the hams were cooked to helping new stores get opened and ready for business,” explains Lee. That experience, along with the quality products, has helped Lee maintain a thriving business for Tulsa families and businesses for 16 years. The second you step foot in the store, the aroma of a sweet, plump ham wafts through the air. Though glazed, spiral-cut hams are their benchmark items, the store also sells turkey (breast and whole), beef (continued on next page)

(continued from previous page) pot roast, pork roast and ribs – all prepared and ready to eat. Hams from Honey Baked go through a strict vetting process before they are even cooked. Once selected, they are cured and flavored and baked between 20 and 24 hours over hickory smoke. They are then spiral-sliced before they are carefully packaged. Before the ham is sold, it is again inspected, and a special glaze is layered on before sealing it up. Also available to complete your meal are a plethora of side dishes sure to convince everyone you’ve labored for days over a hot stove. Items include standards such as mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole, macaroni and cheese and cornbread dressing. But how about shaking it up with a sweet potato soufflé or Tuscan style broccoli? A wide range of desserts, such as apple, pecan and pumpkin pie are available as well. But if your gang is yearning for something different, try a carrot cake or cheesecake.
Though 85% of the hams sold are during the holiday season, why not pick up a meal and give your family more time to enjoy each other and relax? “It’s so rewarding to be a part of people’s celebrations and holidays,” emphasizes Lee, who adds that “treating the customers like gold,” is one of the aspects of the business he is most passionate about.
“It’s so rewarding to be a part of people’s celebrations and holidays.” Honey Baked also has gift cards for purchase. “Many of our corporate clients like the gift cards because they can give them to employees and clients and know they are getting a quality gift that will be remembered for years to come,” adds Lee. Catering is another service the store offers. Think office parties, book clubs, dinner parties and large

Regardless of the event, Honey Baked Ham Co. has you covered. “We appreciate our customers and would like to thank them for their continued support,” concludes Lee.

alance is what it’s all about when it comes to the body. Physical misalignment can cause pain and discomfort, and sometimes a manifestation of problems in other areas. At Restoring Body Health and Feet Unlimited, John Chatzigiannidis (D.O.M.P, C.PED, A.C.M.T) has the answer to getting everything back in line and helping his patients feel their best through Manual Osteopathic Manipulation. “This form of treatment is based on the concept that the structure of the human body influences the function,” said John. “The goal of treatment is to improve the body’s structure.” When the

A Salute to Vete “THIS NATION WILL REMAIN THE LAND OF THE FREE ONLY SO LONG AS IT IS HOME OF THE BRAVE” – ELMER DAVIS BY MACY GOODNIGHT
V
eteran’s Day is a time to honor and thank all military personnel who have served our great country in all wars, with particular emphasis on living veterans. The Military History Center of Broken Arrow and Metro & More are honored to present A Salute to Veterans, a tremendous concert event, in appreciation of the sacrifices made by those who have served. On Nov. 10, at 2 p.m., the fifth annual concert will be held at the Kirkland Theater in Broken Arrow at 808 East College Street. There is no charge for admission, but donations may be made to the Military History Center to help cover the cost of the event. Many highlights are planned for
the show, including Presentation of Colors by the Broken Arrow High School JROTC, and Miss Broken Arrow 2019, Maggie Bond, will sing several patriotic and military songs from the past. The concert will showcase The Tulsa Community Band, which will play patriotic music to honor those who have served in our armed forces, including some big band stylings from the WWII era. The guest speaker will be Mr. Johnnie Parks, Broken Arrow City Councilor. Dr. Clarence Oliver will preside over the invocation. Event coordinator, Board Member, and former Executive Director of the Military History Center, Keith Browne, emphasizes the crucial nature of honoring

our veterans. “It goes back to our mission statement of the Military History Center,” he said, “Promoting patriotism through the preservation of our military history. If we don’t remember our history and our veterans, then our upcoming generations will forget why we are even free today.” The concert is a major part of the tributes conducted in Broken Arrow. “It gets a little bigger and better every year,” he said, “and we’d just like to see everyone come out and support it.” History Center President of the Board, Tom Mancino, BG U.S.

Honoring Those Who Have Served
Army (RET), is grateful to the city of Broken Arrow for the immense support they provide. “Broken Arrow is such a military-friendly community, and you see so many examples of their support,” he said, “such as Veteran’s Park, a Purple Heart City, and the support for the Veteran’s banners that will adorn all of the street lights beginning three weeks before Veteran’s Day.” Visitors to downtown Broken Arrow are encouraged to look for the 70 Veteran’s banners, honoring individuals who have served in our military. “This city has been very good to the military, and we appreciate all of the support that the community and city leaders give us,” he said. The Military History Center and Museum, located at 112 North Main Street, hosts an impressive and astonishing collection of military exhibits and has recently developed essential programs to meet the needs of veterans with counselors and advisers on staff. An extensive library is also available on-site, and an amazing group of volunteers are eager to share their wisdom and stories with everyone. Mark your calendar for the Salute to Veterans Concert, and join us as we show our immense gratitude for those who have served so that we may have the freedom to enjoy such a wonderful opportunity.

Unfortunately, it only looked good for about 6 months and we knew we had to do something to protect our investment, we were not too excited about the prospect of having to stain our deck, at least once a year, to maintain it. Thank God for Permaseal, your team came out, cleaned the deck and permanently sealed the deck with the penetrating sealant. Now it looks just like the day we moved in and we do not have to stain it, unless we want

Bindas Mechanical Solutions Provides Everyday Solutions to HVAC Problems BY TOM FINK

t Bindas Mechanical Solutions, George and Sherri Bindas have the experience, dedication, and integrity to care for all your HVAC needs – with extra emphasis on customer satisfaction. “Our business model is simple – we treat our customers the way that we would want to be treated,” said Sherri Bindas, who co-owns the company with her husband, George. “Customer satisfaction is the No. 1 priority with us. George listens to our customers to find out exactly what they’re looking for and giving them exactly that – and a little more.” Bindas Mechanical Solutions services include residential and commercial HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), installation and replacement, repair and preventative maintenance, system evaluations, inspections for real estate property, and consulting for property management companies. “George also specializes in Energy Management Systems, encompassing the use of computer-aided controls to ensure optimum efficiency for commercial businesses to save them money,” Sherri said. “It’s an adaptive learning system that enables equipment to run efficiently. The systems can turn on heat or air, lights, and have your office comfortable before you even arrive for the day.” Additionally, Energy Management Systems can alert customers to any problems or troubles ahead of time, all of which is done through wireless devices, Sherri said. The Bindases have teamed up with the Carrier Corporation (national heating, ventilation and air conditioning company), which allows them to offer better pricing to their customers and to pass Carrier’s great warranties on equipment on to their customers -- although they are trained to install and work on all brands of equipment. Currently, the Bindases are installing 19 units at the Amos G. Ward Detention Facility, aka Rogers
County Jail, in Claremore. “This is our biggest job this year, and we’re so excited to have the opportunity to do this,” Sherri said. In addition to local jobs, George has been involved in several small and large scale projects across the state and around the country, such as the Apple Campus 2 in Cupertino, California, the Sapulpa Police Department, the Jones Family Center in Springdale, Arkansas, the Cypress Fairbanks Independent School District in Houston, Texas, Tulsa Public Schools, Federal Buildings in Oklahoma City, the Oklahoma Aquarium in Tulsa, Pryor Public Schools, Jenks Public Schools, Tahlequah Public Schools, the Medical Examiner’s Office in Tulsa, Tulsa Bone and Joint, Union Public Schools and several others. But regardless of the size of any given job, the Bindases treat every project with the utmost priority. “We’ll always be fair and honest with each and every customer, and take pride in our work, and look for ways to give our customers more for their money.” George, a veteran of the Navy, has been in the HVAC industry for nearly 30 years. Originally from the Houston, Texas area, he and his family relocated to Tulsa in 2010 to help with Sherri’s parents. Through George’s vast experience
in the industry, he has faced many challenging jobs, yet, he always finds a favorable outcome for both parties, Sherri said. “One of the most interesting jobs he says he ever did was working on the air conditioning in a traffic helicopter for one of the major news stations in Houston,” she said. “While in Houston, he later worked as a Senior HVAC technician for Cypress Fairbanks ISD (one of the nation’s largest school districts). During his time there, he began working with Energy Management Systems to further his expertise within the industry.” After arriving in Tulsa, George quickly found a position with a local HVAC and Energy Management company and began working with clients in the Tulsa area. After spending years building relationships with people in the community, the Bindases started their own company, and have built their reputation on quality work and superior customer service – one job at a time. “Something we want all residential customers to know is that even though R22 systems will no longer be manufactured after January 2020, it doesn’t mean they have to immediately replace their current (HVAC) systems,” George said. “There are replacement options for R22. The best thing to do

is have their current system evaluated. Many times, there’s a lot of life left in a customer’s R22 system, depending on age and how well the unit has been maintained.” As to what the most important measure is to take to help ensure longevity and prevent breakdowns in an HVAC system, George advises “routine maintenance.” “It’s best to find small problems early before they become major, more expensive issues,” he said. So, before the cold Oklahoma weather settles in, call Bindas Mechanical Solutions and get on the schedule for winter heating service, which includes cleaning filters and coils, checking on electrical data, and checking for any leaks.

free Medicare education & enrollment assistance BY CAROL CARTER
F
or most Medicare beneficiaries, the Medicare Open Enrollment Period, which runs Oct. 15 – Dec. 7, is their only opportunity each year to enroll in or change their Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage. Medicare Part D helps thousands of Oklahoma Medicare beneficiaries, especially those with lower incomes or extremely high medication costs, enabling them to better afford the medications they need for both chronic and life-threatening health conditions. Those who are already on a Part D plan are encouraged to review their coverage annually. Not only might their prescription drug needs have changed, but also the Part D formularies change every year. A plan that worked well for someone in 2019 may no longer cover their most expensive prescriptions in 2020. Without a review, they won’t find that out until prescriptions are filled in January, and then it will be too late to change plans. The only way to ensure
beneficiaries have the best coverage for their specific prescription drug needs is to compare plans on the Medicare.gov Plan Finder each year. In 2020 there will be 29 stand-alone Part D plans in Oklahoma from which to choose. The Medicare Assistance Program (MAP) at LIFE Senior Services offers free Medicare education and enrollment assistance. During last year’s enrollment period, MAP helped more than 1,400 beneficiaries compare plans, and two-thirds of those chose to either enroll in Part D for the first time or switch plans, saving them each an average of $1,785. Altogether, MAP saved beneficiaries more than $1.6 million on their 2019 prescription drug costs. For 2020, several important Medicare changes further necessitate beneficiaries reviewing their coverage options, including: • The “donut hole” has closed. In 2020 the beneficiary co-pays will be 25% of the providers’ negotiated prices for both brand name and generic drugs. The providers’ negotiated prices will vary from company to company. • With the closing of the donut hole, come new expenditure thresholds before reaching catastrophic coverage where beneficiaries pay only 5% of their drug costs. • Medicare has a brand new Plan Finder for comparing Part D and Medicare Advantage health plans.

MyMedicare account to

VALUES BIXBY, JENKS & SAPULPA NOVEMBER 2019 WWW.VALUENEWS.COM
better manage all of their Medicare benefits and for optimum use of the new Plan Finder. With these changes come even more ways for MAP at LIFE Senior Services to help Medicare beneficiaries navigate their options, including: • MAP counselors can help beneficiaries set up their MyMedicare.gov accounts. • MAP counselors will help beneficiaries compare Part D plans based on their individual prescription drug needs. They will explain the differences in the most affordable plans, and then enroll beneficiaries in the plan of their choice. In less than an hour, beneficiaries can feel confident that they have made the right choice for their 2020 Part D coverage. • MAP has expanded to offer up to 1,700 appointments during the Open Enrollment Period. Assistance is free, but appointments are required. • MAP is also expanding opportunities for phone appointments to help beneficiaries who are homebound or who live outside the Tulsa area. Medicare Open Enrollment is currently underway, so don’t put off making an appointment for MAP’s Part D Clinics. MAP counselors will help ensure that you have the most cost-effective prescription drug coverage available for your medication needs in 2020. Appointments are required and can be made by calling 918-6649000, ext 1189.

Oneta Station Diner Gives Thanks W I TH F R E E TURKEY D I NNE R O N T HANK S GIVIN G BY MACY GOODNIGHT
T
hanksgiving is a time for family and friends, for gathering together and for giving thanks for all of the blessings that we have in our lives. Mike Rifai, owner of Oneta Station Diner, has an extraordinary grasp on this sentiment and is eager to share it with his community. On Thanksgiving Day, the Diner will host a gathering with a free turkey dinner for anyone who would like to share the holiday with them. From 10 a.m. until 3 p.m., roast turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, corn, cranberry sauce, homemade dinner rolls, and even pumpkin pie will be served, and anyone and everyone is welcome. Located on the border of Broken Arrow and Coweta at 24236 E. Hwy 51, Oneta Station Diner recently celebrated their one-year anniversary under new management, and they are excited to share Thanksgiving with the customers and community they are so thankful for. Many years ago, Mike Rifai was working in a restaurant in Tulsa, and was asked by a regular customer what his Thanksgiving plans would
32 |
be. “He asked what I was going to do, and I said the restaurant would be closed, so I guess I would stay home,” he said. “Most of my family wasn’t here, so I had no plans.” Mike was surprised when the customer invited him to his own home to share the holiday with them. “He insisted I join them,” Mike said. “That day I went, and they had this beautiful meal, with turkey and all of the fixings, and it was so good.” It meant so much to him to have been invited, and it revealed to him what the holiday was all about. “It meant a lot to me, and I believe there are so many good people out there.” That Thanksgiving would shape his intention for the holiday in the years to follow, and he has worked to provide a free meal for many people in other restaurants since then. For him, it is tradition.

“I enjoy seeing the smiles on people’s faces,” said Mike. “It doesn’t matter how much it costs, because it’s for a good cause, and we want to show our appreciation for the customers who support us throughout the year.” Guests will not receive a free meal, but a warm, welcoming gathering. “We want it to feel like home, like family,” Mike said. “It’s a lot of hard work to make a meal like this, so it’s wonderful for anyone who may have to work and won’t have time to cook, or for Seniors who want to relax and enjoy the day. Maybe those who don’t have family here might want to come and spend time with new friends.” Whatever

the case, all are welcome. “There is a home for you here, so come and join us. You will feel the love here.” The Thanksgiving dinner is completely free, and the register will not even open that day. There will, however, be a donation jar on the counter for anyone who would like to give, and those donations will be sent to a local charitable organization. Volunteers to help serve are also welcome. Mike makes it his mission to know all of his customers by name, and is looking forward to shaking hands and visiting with everyone. He guarantees the TV will be on with the big game of the day. Mike and his family, as well as members of his staff and their own families, will be enjoying the meal
and fellowship with everyone at the Diner. “Family, friends, and people trying to help each other is what America is all about,” said Mike. “We thank God for what he gives us and share what we can with others. This is what Thanksgiving means to me.”

The District in Claremore Readies for Seasonal Shoppers Above: District owner Cari Bohannan showcases new fall clothing arrivals.

A
s downtown Claremore’s premier women’s clothing, accessories and gift store, The District on Main stays busy year-round. With Christmas just around the corner, however, the locallyowned business is more like Santa’s workshop, as employees stock the shelves so that customers will have plenty of gift selections to choose from for the upcoming holiday season. “We’ll be getting the Christmas shopping season off to a start with an open house, scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 7,” said Cari Bohannan, The District owner.

“We’ll have the store completely decorated for Christmas, there will be door prizes, snacks, we’ll be offering several specials, and we’ll even offer layaway options – it’s our way of helping get the holiday shopping season off to a great start for everyone.” Known locally as downtown Claremore’s boutique with trendy and classic clothing for all ages at affordable prices, The District also offers cards for any occasion, grooming items for men and women, and a large assortment of unique, brand name gifts. “Many of the brands we carry are exclusive to us,” Bohannan said. “I

Bohannan first became owner of the shop in 2012, when it was across the street from its current location at 406 W. Will Rogers, overseeing renovations made in 2016 to revamp the store while retaining the original character of the historic building. “Where we are now just has a different atmosphere from our old store – we kept much of the exposed brick, we redid the front to what it was originally – we just took it back to where it used to be to honor the history of the building,” she said. And this holiday season, The District shoppers may even go home with more than gifts for family, friends or themselves, as the boutique is a Santa Cash
participant, and offers Santa Cash tickets to its customers, who are then entered in a drawing in December for cash prizes of $10,000, $2,5000, or $1,000. Black Friday and “Small Saturday” specials will be announced at a later date. The District on Main is located at 406 West Will Rogers Boulevard (downtown) in Claremore. Hours of operation are 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Wednesday and Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursdays, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays. Bohannan,
who also owns The Baby District on Main, said The District may be open on Sundays in December.

The Wisdom

2019 OKLAHOMA WOMEN’S HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE BY MACY GOODNIGHT
T
he Oklahoma Women’s Hall of Fame was established in 1982 to honor women of the state who have significantly contributed to our state, the nation or the world; to recognize women distinguished for working for the benefit of the lives of others through professional leadership, civic involvement or volunteer community efforts. On Oct. 10, 2019, local legend Ollie Starr, of Claremore, was inducted into the Hall of Fame for a lifetime of achievement striving to improve the world around her. Ollie is the third Cherokee woman
40 |
inducted since its conception. Of her list of many accomplishments, she was notably instrumental in the revitalization of the Indian Women’s Pocahontas Club. Established in 1899, the organization is the oldest continually operational club in Oklahoma. They are historically and continuously charged with the preservation of Cherokee culture and history, as well as service to the community.

for young women and her endeavor to improve the living conditions of Senior Cherokee citizens. She has been a mentor for countless young men and women and has always exhibited extraordinary leadership and dedication to Cherokee communities. In 2017, Ollie was awarded the Cherokee Nation Lifetime Achievement Award. She works diligently with the Boys and Girls Club in Chelsea to raise funds, which have assisted in upgrades to the gymnasium and kitchen, and creation of continuing arts programs. Her passion for

community service is part of her “can-do” spirit that has been apart of her entire life. Ollie was born in 1941, during WWII. “This was a time when women were becoming empowered because they went to work while the men were at war,” she said. “This was the first time that women started to become more independent.” At a very early age, she began working around the farm with her father, learning the cattle trade, and gaining respect for hard work and grit. Her mother was her teacher, and she ensured Ollie received a good education. At the age of 16, she married and was a mother of four by the age of 25. After her children were grown, she got divorced and later met Mr.
Starr in Hollywood, Florida. She has lived and worked in many areas, but always working for the betterment of the world around her. Ollie describes each phase of her life as
“seasons,” and with each new chapter, she was always actively concerned with the well-being of others. “We should all try to serve others and try to make this a better world,” she said. “I really believe in encouraging others and helping other people, because what are we if we aren’t trying to do better?” Her can-do spirit is contagious, and she a master of motivating others to contribute to their communities. Ollie is very humble about receiving this honor and hopes that it serves as an inspiration to others. “It is an incredible honor to be inducted, but I didn’t get here by myself,” she said. “There were many people with me along the way.” Her advice for younger generations is simple: “Contribute to the world around you. Look for solutions to problems and be concerned for your neighbor. This is what life is all about.”

A TABLE WITH A STORY… FOR FRIENDSGIVING BY SHANNON SMITH
I
love November when the weather finally decides it’s fall, and I get to set a pretty table outside with leaves and autumn colors. For most people, November means Thanksgiving, which is a joyous occasion for many families, but a dreaded one for others. As a single mom, I only got to be with my children every other Thanksgiving, and the ones when I was without them were dreadfully sad. Whoever invented Friendsgiving should be given an award because it’s the perfect solution to the many conflicts of Thanksgiving. Of course, the meaning is still the same: being thankful! But, inviting people outside my family to a dinner in November while being thankful is a great recipe for a party. This year I decided to create a Friendsgiving table that represents many of the friends (and family) I love so much. I’m much more of a cook than I am a table decorator, so I decided I would use pieces on the table that were given to me or I had collected from my travels. The guests who were invited to my Friendsgiving dinner were asked to bring something to the table that was special to them and had a story. My friend Joe had just opened a floral shop in my hometown and asked if he could bring the flowers. I was thrilled he chose roses instead of mums and other fall

flowers. The vases were given to him by his sister. For the table runner, I used a scarf I had received from my friend in Australia who is a weaver, and the china was my grandmother’s who was an avid entertainer. I love to mix metals on tables (and everywhere else), so I used brass flatware from India, and sterling silver napkin rings from my estate sale finds. The gold water glasses were brought by a guest who had inherited them from his grandmother, and the crystal serving bowls had been my mother’s. Are you getting the idea? Even though it sounds like a mismatched table of hand-me-downs, it’s actually a table full of stories and tales that provides endless conversation for everyone. Not everyone at my table knows one another, but at the end of the meal, we will have all heard the stories of what everyone brought, whether it’s part of the table decoration or the salad Chris brought that his aunt made for every Thanksgiving his entire life! Being thankful is something I strive for every day of the year, but gathered around a table with dear friends in November fills me with a heart packed with gratitude.

Slice butternut squash in half lengthwise. Peel both halves ad remove seeds and membrane with a spoon and knife. Slice squash thinly into 1” pieces. Place pieces on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until golden and starting to crisp. Let cool. Squeeze pomegranate, pierce with a skewer and allow the juice to fall into a glass (Drink the juice, it’s good for you). Slice pomegranate in half. Using a wooden spoon, hammer the outside of each half, allowing seeds to fall into a bowl. I prefer to do this in the sink to prevent a huge mess. Reserve 1/2 cup of seeds. For the dressing: combine olive oil, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar and 1/4 tsp. each of salt and pepper. Shake to combine. In a large bowl, add lettuce, apple slices, pomegranate seeds, 1 cup of squash slices, pecans and torn pieces of goat cheese. Add dressing and toss.

WILL’S COUNTRY CHRISTMAS CELEBRATES THE SEASON, HARKENS BACK TO SIMPLER TIMES

T
his December, the ghost of Christmas past will be paying a visit to Oologah for the annual Will’s Country Christmas celebration. Named in honor of Oklahoma’s favorite son, Will’s Country Christmas is an annual holiday celebration which harkens back to simpler times, giving the young and the young at heart alike the
chance to see how the Rogers family might have celebrated the festive Christmas season. “We’re now in our fifth year, and this (event) has really grown since we first started in 2014,” said Tad Jones, executive director, Will Rogers Memorial Museum. “The first couple of years were a little slow but okay, and after word-ofmouth started getting out, it began
