tours and new activities to the day of remembrance and celebration.

Pocahontas Club Executive Director Ollie Starr explains, Above: The Indian Women’s Pocahontas Club’s annual “Hats off to Will” Will Rogers Birthday Tribute and Wreath Laying Ceremony will be held on Saturday Nov. 6, 2021, at the Will Rogers Memorial Museum in Claremore. Historical legacy touring and activities begin at 10 a.m. This event is free and open to the public.

VALUE NEWS BIXBY, JENKS & SAPULPA OCTOBER 2021 WWW.VALUENEWS.COM

“The day will be starting at the Will Rogers Memorial Museum, at which we’ll have our regular wreath laying ceremony at 10 a.m. – just like we’ve done since 1944,” Starr said. “After that, we’ll go into the (Will Rogers Theatre) auditorium, where we will have a special guest speaker, Kim Teehee.”

A citizen of the Cherokee Nation, Teehee is director of Government Relations for the Cherokee Nation and senior vice president of Government Relations Cherokee Nation Businesses.

Wear a Fancy Hat!

Following this will be a musical tribute by the first lady of the country fiddle, Jana Jae, as well as the Haute Hat Contest in remembrance of Will’s wife, Betty Blake Rogers. Attendees are encouraged to join in the fun or cast their ballot. Betty was wellknown for always wearing her Haute Hat. New to the festivities this year, Starr said, will be the inclusion of a trolley, furnished by the City of Claremore.

Above: J.M. Davis Arms & Historical Museum will be one of your first Trolley stops. Big Country 99.5 (radio station) also will be broadcasting here, through an arrangement by VisitClaremore.

Trolley Time, 11:30 a.m.

“At 11:30 a.m., the trolley will be here to take people from the memorial to the J.M. Davis Arms & Historical Museum (at 11:45 a.m.),” she said. “We should get to the gun museum at about 12. Many people may not know that Mr. Davis’s (second) wife, Genevieve was a member of the

(Pocahontas) club, and we have an exhibit (at the gun museum, but there is also a new exhibit – a Roy Clark exhibit, where Jana Jae will be, playing a couple of tunes there, as well.”

Big Country 99.5 (radio station) also will be broadcasting that day from the gun museum, through arrangement by VisitClaremore.

On to the Claremore Museum of History

“From there, we’ll leave that afternoon – again by trolley-- and go to tour the Claremore Museum of History (MoH), where we’ll have seven Native artists on display, courtesy of the Route 66 Native Arts Alliance. We’ll also be receiving a proclamation from the City, which will proclaim it to be Native American Day in Claremore,” Starr said. (continued on next page)

“Tad (Jones) is always so awesome, always so welcoming to us – he worked with us to help make the day something extra special this year,” she said. “He’s always been so cordial to us, allowing us to have the wreath laying at the memorial, but we also have a presence at the gun museum and the Claremore museum, so this year, we wanted to bring all of these together to showcase all of our museums.

Claremore is very big in historical museums, and all of them are a draw to the public and acknowledge the significance of Native American history and the Cherokee people.”

Home Fire Prevention Take steps now to help prevent dangerous home fires.

O

ctober, 2021: Get ready for cooler temperatures and a cozy home by first getting your chimney and dryer vent cleaned. Debris like birds’ nests and leaves, and creosote could be lingering as potential fire hazards in your chimney. As for your dryer vent, lint doesn’t just accumulate in your lint trap; it can also build up in your dryer vents. As most of us know, this lint is extremely flammable; it is the build-up of this lint that can lead to dryer fires.

So before you light that first log, be sure you won’t be sparking a chimney fire.

Approximately 23,000 chimney fires occur every year, causing nearly a billion dollars in damage, and potentially the loss of lives.

Having your chimney professionally cleaned annually will help you avoid a disaster.

You can prevent a chimney fire with three easy steps: • Have your chimney professionally inspected and cleaned. At the beginning of the heating season, hire a chimney inspector to examine your chimney—specifically, the chimney liner and ventilation. The chimney inspector will check for creosote build-up, cracks, and leaks, and make sure the vent is in good working order. A good chimney sweep thoroughly cleans the chimney, flue, and vents.

• Use the right wood. Not all woods burn the same. Seasoned Left: For over 44 years, Black Hat Cleaning Services owner David Harris, Sr. has been serving N.E. Oklahoma.

with a standard recommendation of professional sweep every 3 to 4 ricks of wood burned. Gas burning fireplaces only need to be cleaned every 15 to 20 years. “If you’re not sure if your chimney needs cleaning, at least have it inspected,” David said. “If you’ve never had it cleaned, clean it!”

Dryer duct cleaning is sometimes overlooked by homeowners but should be a top priority regarding fire safety.

Many home fires are caused every year by the lint that gets trapped within the pipes and, once ignited, can quickly burn throughout a home. “Dryer lint is the best thing you can use to start a campfire,” said David. “It is highly flammable. You don’t want that trapped in your dryer vent as a fire hazard.”

David’s sound advice for homeowners is only a small part of the comprehensive service provided by Black Hat. Honesty and integrity are at the forefront of his business practice and what his customers see when they see him in his top hat. “My customers know that they can trust Black Hat Cleaning to be honest, and take care of them, give them peace of mind.”

Over the years, just as David’s hat has gotten taller, the services have evolved to become more efficient, time-saving, and thorough. Chimney cleaning can take up to 45 minutes. David loves his work and the people he serves. “This is my 44th year in business with many more years ahead.”

Cabinet Refinishing for a Lustrous Glow

O

ctober, 2021: Fall is on its way and with the cooler weather coming in; you can finally get to your home renovation list before the holidays, starting with your cabinets. While cabinets’ purpose is functional, they remain a focal point of the home. Whether your cabinets are peeling, greasy

or even in bad condition, Gleam Guard Wood Refinishing can remedy your woodwork and make it look like new again using eco-friendly and odorless materials with a 5-year guarantee to top it off! They are an A+ Rated BBB Accredited company and offer reasonably priced and highly effective solutions

for restoring and refinishing your cabinetry and woodwork.

“We can refinish cabinets that are in really bad shape. We can also clean your cabinets and give them a new, permanent finish,” says owner Tracy Booth. “The Gleam Guard finishes are available in matte, shiny and satin.

When we apply our Gleam Guard system, it bonds to the original finish and makes the surface smooth and dry. The process remarkably enhances wood grain and keeps it looking oiled and polished. Old imperfections cannot be seen. This is an ultra low odor process; it is completely safe for even those with serious breathing problems to be in the house.”

The entire messfree Gleam Guard process takes only one to two days to complete, so your kitchen can be transformed in time for the holidays. Whole house projects, which include kitchen and bath cabinets, baseboards, doors, moldings, paneling and just about any other vertical wood surface, can be done in three to five days.

Tracy’s son, Phillip Booth, manages their Tulsa Metro office along with Jonathan. Phillip and his professional craftsmen are continuing the legacy that Tracy started over 30 years ago.

They have perfected their skill, timing and attention to detail.

Left: Phillip and Jonathan enjoy making cabinetry look-like new again.

VALUE NEWS BIXBY, JENKS & SAPULPA OCTOBER 2021 WWW.VALUENEWS.COM

Their process begins by preparing the surfaces with a thorough cleaning to remove dirt and debris and making any reparation of damaged areas. Damaged areas are treated with custom-matched stain blends.

Lastly, the cabinets are protected with a coating that will keep cabinetry and woodwork looking fresh for decades.

A special over-glazing is used when you want to change the color of the wood. Dust-free and non-toxic, the process works on traditional wood surfaces, along with those which are painted, glazed and pickled.

A real big plus is that you don’t have to empty cabinets or remove hardware prior to the process. Each job comes with a free 5-year touch up warranty.

“We have customers we served over 20 years ago who say their cabinets still

look great even today. It is because of our hometown people in the greater Tulsa area that we were able to expand and help families across the country beautify their homes, including Kansas City, Branson, Northwest Washington and Canada,” he says.

The Gleam Guard crew will be in and out, without interruptions or breakaways. Their work area, when finished, will look like no one was there. Aftercare is as simple as wiping with a damp cloth.

Tracy says when people see the difference Gleam Guard has made in friend’s or relative’s homes, they are quite often sold on the process!

Even those considering new cabinets or refacing old cabinets frequently decide on Gleam Guard Wood Refinishing instead. It’s the sensible solution that makes a big difference. Gleam Guard often costs clients 70 percent less when compared to other options.

“I love to show people how they can save money and still have beautiful wood finishes that look like new,” says Tracy.

To complete the makeover, the team can also deep clean rock and stone interior surfaces.
