Replacement Driveways Done Right, Priced Right, On Time Satisfied customers tell the story. By Deanna Rebro A driveway that is pitted and stained, with grass growing between the cracks, instantly steals curb appeal from a home.

LCI Concrete can transform this unsightly mess into an attractive, maintenance-free driveway in just one to two days. That’s because LCI specializes in residential replacement driveways. They have been doing drives for 10 years. And, according to owner Kalan Paul, “We do them right the first time. We show up when we say we’re going to show up and we do what we say we’re going to do.” Kalan takes pride in the sterling reputation the company has earned with the Better Business Bureau and

with Angie’s List. But most of all, he is proud of comments like this from his customers: “Excellent experience having LCI replace our driveway. They worked tirelessly all day to complete ahead of spring rains. Our driveway looks superb and we could not be happier. And they are very competitive in pricing. “ Kalan has worked in the construction industry for more than 22 years, starting while a sales manager in the corporate world. He has built custom homes, rehabbed homes and owned rental property. Honesty and integrity is the cornerstone of his business. He shows up on time for appointments. He quotes the same prices for the same job, whether a modest or affluent (continued on page 24)

Rolling Thunder Dragster Available to Local Charities The MaeHem Racing Team is proud to present its super-charged Chevy for charities including Folds of Honor, Hydrants of Hope, and Tulsa Youth Services. By Jim Butcher When someone says, “funny cars,” do you think of your neighbor’s car? How about your son’s jalopy always needing gas? Wikipedia describes funny cars as “a type of drag racing vehicle and a specific racing class in organized drag racing. Funny cars are characterized by having tilt-up fiberglass or carbon fiber automotive bodies over a custom fabricated chassis, giving them an appearance similar to manufacturers’ showroom models. They have (continued on page 24)

Is Your Bite Right? How your teeth fit together could be causing you problems. By Steve White, D.D.S How your teeth fit together is what we call “occlusion.” Teeth in different parts of your mouth are shaped to perform certain functions and to comfortably take biting forces, particular to how they function. As an example, your front teeth have sharp, biting edges, so they can cut through things. Your back teeth have big, flat biting surfaces and multiple roots, in order to accomplish heavier chewing. There is actually a lot of

mechanics involved in this complex system we call a mouth, which is the first stage in your digestive system. Most people’s teeth do not fit together perfectly. However, they can usually find a way to avoid an awkward bite and can adapt in order to keep their teeth from hurting and chew efficiently. Usually, people aren’t even aware of these issues and the body adapts subconsciously as changes occur. The problems occur when a person can no longer adjust to minor changes or when something more drastic occurs. This may be the first time they are aware a bite (occlusion) problem exists. You may experience broken teeth, heavy grinding and wear, extreme sensitive teeth that react strongly to hot and cold temperatures, or exhibit symptoms of TMJ, like popping in the joints, headaches, ringing in the ears, sore facial muscles, and/or pain in the jaw joints. The key here is that you may not be aware you have a problem until it’s too late. Your dentist can discover most of the conditions that lead to more serious problems during a routine exam. Like most diseases, the earlier that bite (occlusion) problems are discovered, the easier they are to treat

and less chance you will get into a painful situation. Treatment can be as easy as some minor reshaping of a few teeth or as involved as orthodontic treatment (braces) or even full mouth reconstruction, which involves basically rebuilding all your teeth in order to give you a whole new bite. The benefits of having a good bite are many; being able to chew food comfortably is the most important. Also, you will avoid excessive wear and broken teeth, less stress on muscles, and hopefully avoid TMJ related symptoms. Make sure your dentist is evaluating your bite when you have your next dental checkup. If you don’t have dental insurance and want to hold down the cost of your dental care, we have the solution for you. Ask us about QDP.

LIVING THE WELLNESS LIFE WITH DR.S MARK & MICHELE

Where to Find Balance In an Unbalanced World life in regard to finding balance. Of course, there is more to do, but this is a great start to reclaiming your life. Stress, life struggles, and uncertainty are all a part of life. They do not have to overcome you or your life. Take charge of your life and begin to experience what balance is all about.

Today's world can be characterized by the following: unpredictable, worrisome, chaotic, and stressful. Do these sound like characteristics of your own life at present? If so, continue reading and learn how to find balance amidst the unbalance of today. To find BALANCE, we must first understand a workable definition of the concept. Balance can be defined as an even distribution, upright, steady, and of equal elements. As we examine the definition, we do not see an absence of problems/issues (defined as listed in the characteristics above). We do see, however, a better management of life. With that establishment, here are some concepts to initiate that are sure to assist in navigating the waters of life: 1. Begin the day journaling in your GRATITUDE JOURNAL. This can be as simple as a few words or sentences written in a small spiral notebook. It does not have to be much, but needs to be direct. Here are a few examples: Words - my health, home, family, friends, job, clothes, food Sentences - I am thankful for my wife/husband. I am grateful I can walk. Thank you for a home and food. These are simple examples that do not take long. In reality, you will spend only 1-2 minutes, but the dividends will pay off for several hours. 2. Verbalize a simple declaration of self-encouragement. This means SAYING OUT LOUD something that encourages you and lifts you own spirits. Here are two examples that you can use (try writing one or several for yourself): I have a purpose for my life and I am a blessing to many today. I was created for excellence and am living it out today. Do this daily and say it as much as you need to until you believe it.This may sound silly, but believe me

it works. You can literally pull yourself out of a pit by saying this out of your own mouth where you can hear it (do not just read it say it). 3. Eat a healthy breakfast. After taking care of you mind, heart, and emotions, it is time to care for your body. Consume at least 30 grams of high quality protein to help regulate blood sugar. It is very important to start the 'food intake' portion of your day on a positive note. This can be accomplished by eating free range eggs, grass fed meats, or organic yogurt. Additionally, a high quality protein shake will suffice. Keep carbohydrates at a minimum by possibly adding one piece of fruit or one slice of sprouted grain bread. 4. Take at least a 15 minute walk. You can do this anytime throughout the day. Just schedule it, and do not miss your 'activity appointment.' I know this doesn't sound like much, but if you are not doing anything, it is a very good start. If you are already consistent with your activity, you are good to go here. 5. Read a positive devotional or book before bed. You may choose to read a couple of chapters from the Bible or an inspirational book. This will fill the mind with positivity before entering sleep. If employed, these 5 concepts will bring profitable change to your

You are not destined to become a victim of chronic disease! This is one of the guiding principles of the Functional Medical Institute (FMI), where your answer to health and wellness begins.

Biking to Create a World Free of MS Make a difference is someone’s life by participating in the Bike MS ride on September 26 and 27. By Deanna Rebro Join hundreds of bicyclists on Saturday and Sunday, September 26 and 27, as they venture on a 150-mile journey from Norman to Guthrie to Stillwater to have fun and help create a world free of multiple sclerosis (MS). Bike MS, now in its 30th year, is recognized as the premier fundraising cycling series in the nation. Bike MS: The Road Divided 2015 is the area effort that provides vital support to 4,400 local individuals diagnosed with MS. This unpredictable and often disabling disease of the central nervous system disrupts the flow of information within the brain and between the brain and body, much like a frayed electrical cord, thus producing neurological disorders. The course of the disease varies greatly from person to person. Although MS can develop at any age, the disease is most common in women between ages 20 and 50. Unfortunately, the cause of MS is still unknown and there is no cure. Several disease-modifying medications are available to stop the progression of symptoms that include numbness, blurred vision, incontinence, memory loss, muscle spasms, dizziness

Hundreds of cyclists ride to raise funds for the 4,400 local individuals diagnosed with MS. and seizures. But symptom relief comes at a cost. The symptom management, treatment and healthcare coordination for a person living with MS comes to approximately $60,000 a year. “That’s why this event is so important to these people and to their families,” says Sarah Flowers, development manager of the National MS Society Oklahoma chapter. The goal for Bike MS: The Road Divided 2015 is $540,000. “The funds raised through Bike MS help to provide direct financial assistance to those living with MS, and vital programs and services to them

and their families such as self-help groups and wellness programs.” With more than 100 Bike MS events taking place across the nation, corporations and organizations have made this the team-building event of choice. Anyone 12 or older is invited to participate, with a $300 fundraising minimum. “The real fun comes among teams,” says Sarah. Any kind of team – friends, families, businesses, civic groups, churches, scouts, youth groups, and people living with MS. Year after year, many cyclists make new friends throughout Oklahoma who share their

experience and return with teams of new participants. This is the first time the local chapter has chosen the scenic Norman, Guthrie, Stillwater route. Organizers have covered even the smallest details to make the ride safe and memorably enjoyable for everyone. Bike MS is fully supported with patrols and marshals. Food will be provided courtesy of presenting sponsor Sam’s Club. Ben E. Keith Foods also donates and supplies food for the weekend, along with area Stillwater restaurants that are donating food for the finish line in

Stillwater. Many volunteers will be on hand all along the way to help with whatever is needed. Years of experience and listening to cyclists resulted in a new and user-friendly website, www.bikemsok. org, and it has never been so easy to get involved. Anyone interested can find answers to all their questions about event details, ride preparation, team information, social media, fundraising tools and lots more. With just a few clicks, you can register to ride, start, form or join a team, volunteer, sponsor or donate. People who are not able to make the ride or provide hands-on assistance can still be a part of the event and make a difference in someone’s life by making a donation.

Tulsa Boys’ Home Promotes Public Awareness

Tulsa Boys’ Home now offers one-hour tours of its beautiful campus to help spread awareness of their mission to provide young boys with treatment and support. By Kyle Johnston

Horses are utilized as a dynamic part of the healing process through the Tulsa Boys’ Home Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) Program.

Since 1918, Tulsa Boys’ Home has been helping heal Oklahoma’s young boys dealing with abuse, neglect, and drug addiction. They have recently initiated a new public awareness campaign to show anyone and everyone just how their mission is delivered. They’re called Hope Tours, and Tulsa Boys’ Home wants you to be at the next one! “A Hope Tour is not so much a tour of our beautiful campus as it is of our mission, and the hope that we are providing our boys with our treatment, love and support,” Executive Director Gregg Conway said. Each Hope Tour is exactly one hour, and focuses on the three major aspects of the Tulsa Boys’ Home residential treatment program. “It’s one thing to tell about the work we do at Tulsa Boys’ Home,” Conway said. “It’s something else entirely to have a firsthand look at what we do.” The Hope Tour initiative,

designed to showcase the Tulsa Boys’ Home mission, is the culmination of input from TBH staff, board members, and volunteers. The initiative came from the desire to highlight the program at Tulsa Boys’ Home to as many people as possible in Tulsa area communities. Tulsa Boys’ Home has benefited from community support since the very beginning. In 1918, TBH was founded by the Rotary Club of Tulsa (Downtown Club) and members of the First Presbyterian Church. Since then, numerous organizations, foundations and volunteers have been supporting the mission of the Tulsa Boys’ Home. “Hope Tours are designed to showcase what we do at Tulsa Boys’ Home to all of Tulsa,” Conway said. If you’d like to schedule a Hope Tour, contact Tulsa Boys’ Home at (918) 245-0231 ext. 5004, or email Karen K. Clark at

kkclark@tbhinc.org. Tulsa Boys’ Home was founded in 1918 as the first boys’ home in Oklahoma. It is a nationally accredited residential treatment facility that helps 11 to 18 year old boys with emotional, behavioral, and substance abuse problems, and houses 64 boys a day, 365 days a year. TBH is a Tulsa Area United Way Partner Agency located in west Tulsa County on 160 acres at 2727 S. 137th W. Avenue in Sand Springs.

Road Ahead Guide

RCI Insurance Group offers a free insurance review and packet containing a Parent-Teen Contract and other helpful information for parents and their new teen drivers. By Carol Beck-Round A major milestone in the life of a family is when their teen becomes eligible to get his or her driver’s license. While teenagers are excited about the prospect, parents are concerned about their safety, and rightly so. According to DMV statistics, the traffic accident rates for 16- to 19-year old drivers are higher than those for any other age group. The risk increases when a teen driver transports passengers – the fatality risk of drivers aged 16 to 17 years is 3.6 times higher when they are driving with passengers than when they are driving alone, and the relative risk of a fatal crash increases as the number of passengers increases. “It’s not if the teen gets in an accident, but when,” says Amber Helmuth, RCI Insurance personal lines manager. “Parents need to make sure their teen is prepared before he or she gets behind the wheel.” RCI Insurance wants to

assist parents and teens with this life milestone by offering a free insurance review and a free “Road Ahead Guide” packet containing a Parent-Teen Contract; a driving guidelines chart; helpful tips for safe driving in different weather conditions; a list of things to do if their vehicle breaks down or runs out of gas; how to deal with the effects of peer pressure; and what to do if you’re in an accident, which includes not only the steps to take but removable cards to keep in the vehicle or the teen’s wallet to gather and record all accident information for both vehicles involved. “The Parent-Teen Contract alone is valuable,” says Helmuth. “It’s much better than coming up with something in the heat of the moment. Knowing what is expected of your teen driver makes it much easier with the follow-through.” While the contract is not

Convenience. Innovation. Caring. The price of depression is staggering. It affects your family, friends, employer, employees, and, of course, you. It leads to indecisiveness about life while healthy development, jobs, hobbies and relationships come to a grinding halt. At Strength of Mind Behavioral Health, our goal is to “go all out” for the people who come to us for help; we feel it is the right thing to do. We provide a comprehensive approach to treating depression, remaining beside you and guiding you on your journey to health and wellbeing. We offer a level of caring for our patients that larger institutions do not provide - we get to know our patients and take a

sincere interest in their health and progress. In fact, our patients become our family. We are their cheerleaders and genuinely want them to succeed. Strength of Mind was one of the first in Tulsa to provide TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation). TMS therapy is an FDA approved, non-invasive medical treatment for major depression. The treatment gives direct MRI strength pulse stimulation to the frontal lobe of the brain, compelling neurons to start firing and restoring the brain to normal functioning levels while elevating moods and encouraging ambition. It is so important to us that we

offer TMS because it is a unique treatment that does something pills and old style shock therapy cannot do. It is gentler and easier on the patient than other treatments, and it has been proven effective in helping patients overcome depression. Before TMS, there was a significant gap in care.

Dr. Jeff McIlroy, Chief of Psychiatry for Strength of Mind, says their TMS treatment is a three-pronged approach to treating and recovering from depression

Questions Most Often Asked About TMS Therapy What is TMS Therapy? TMS, or Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, is an FDA-cleared proven non-drug treatment for depression, specifically for patients with depression who have not benefited from initial antidepressant medication. How does TMS Therapy work? NeuroStar TMS Therapy uses pulses of magnetic energy, precisely targeted at a key area of the brain known to be underactive in depression sufferers. This area is called the prefrontal cortex. By stimulating this local area, neurons in the prefrontal cortex communicate to deeper brain neurons causing a secondary effect on remaining areas of the brain involved in mood. These effects are intended to restore normal function and lift the symptoms of depression. What are the benefits of TMS? TMS Therapy is the first and only non-systemic and non-invasive depression treatment to be cleared by the FDA. It can effectively treat depression in those who cannot tolerate

antidepressant medication or without side effects such as: weight gain, sexual dysfunction, nausea, dry mouth, sedation, etc.

demonstrated that TMS Therapy does not result in any negative effects on memory or concentration.

What are the side effects? The most common side effect associated with TMS Therapy® is pain or discomfort during treatment at or near the treatment area. This pain or discomfort is generally mild to moderate and typically diminishes after the first week of treatment. In clinical trials, less than 5% of patients discontinued NeuroStar treatment due to side effects. NeuroStar treatment also showed no effects on thinking or memory. Because NeuroStar TMS Therapy acts directly on the prefrontal cortex, it lacks the systemic side effects experienced with antidepressant medication. There is a rare risk of seizure associated with TMS Therapy. The risk of seizure in general clinical use is 1 in 30,000 treatments.

Will TMS Therapy help with my depression? Many people with major depression who were treated with TMS experienced significant benefits. In clinical trials, after six weeks of treatment, 1 in 2 patients improved significantly and 1 in 3 patients were completely free of depression symptoms. Efficacy was established in a controlled clinical trial comparing active treatment with the NeuroStar TMS therapy System to an inactive device. Patients treated with active NeuroStar TMS Therapy received an average reduction in their depression symptom score of 22.1% compared to a 9% average reduction in patients receiving inactive treatment.

Does TMS Therapy cause memory loss? No. TMS Therapy was systematically evaluated for its effects on memory. Clinical trials

What is treatment with TMS Therapy like? During treatment, patients recline comfortably and are awake and alert throughout the

TMS Therapy session. No anesthesia or sedation is needed. Treatment involves placement of the magnetic coil against the patient’s head. Patients will hear a clicking sound and feel a tapping sensation on their head during treatment. Each TMS Therapy session takes less than an hour to complete and is conducted right in our TMS Therapy Suite, five days week, for approximately 4-6 weeks. After treatment, patients can immediately return to normal activities. Is TMS Therapy like Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)? No. TMS Therapy is an outpatient procedure that, unlike electroconvulsive therapy, does not require anesthesia, sedation or the production of a convulsion. Also, TMS therapy does not result in adverse effects on memory or concentration. Can I also take antidepressant medication if I am receiving TMS therapy? Yes. TMS Therapy is safely administered with

and without antidepressant medications. Is TMS Therapy covered by insurance? Although TMS Therapy is not yet widely covered at this time, some insurance companies have issued coverage policies and many are covering the treatments on a case-by-case basis. Most insurance companies will cover the cost of the initial consultation with Dr. McIlroy to see if this treatment is right for you. We encourage you to inquire with your insurance company regarding their willingness to cover NeuroStar TMS Therapy for you. How long does the antidepressant effect last? Will I need any therapy beyond the first 4-6 weeks? The long-term treatment plan is unique to each individual; in some cases patients may need to come back for individualized treatment sessions if the depression relapses.

Focus on Success and It Will Come Children learn lifelong skills through martial arts. By Deanna Rebro Within the world of clicking for an answer and multi-tasking, getting plugged in has a totally different meaning at Martial Arts Academy; it means “focus.” Very simply, use your brain and concentrate on the task at hand in the moment. Educators, pediatricians and parents agree that children today have difficulty focusing or concentrating on what they are doing. Many adults do, too. But children as young as five are going through rigid drills that prove they are doing it at his school, according to Chris Velez, senior chief instructor and academy owner. “My goal is to help these kids realize their potential in life,” says the man who everyone calls “Mr. Velez.” But he, too, addresses everyone by Mr. or Miss. It’s a sign of courtesy and respect. And that is an integral part of the academy’s program. “I treat people the way that I want to be treated,” he explains, “and I lead my students by example.” Rather than relying on computers to make work easier, he uses one-on-one human interaction. Students ask their instructors for information. They make eye contact. They carry on

(L to R): Taylor Carrell, Assistant Instructor, 1st Degree Black Belt; Chris Velez, Senior Chief Instructor, 5th Degree Black Belt; Eric Buckendorf, Chief Instructor, 2nd Degree Black Belt; and Tara Modrell, Instructor’s Assistant, 1st Degree Black Belt conversations. This back-to-basics approach is different from most schools, as it fosters life-changing and life-long leadership skills along with the physicality of martial arts. Mr. Velez strongly believes that everyone, regardless of age, has within them the ability to become a leader. The academy just provides proof that they can do it through constant challenging and achieving. There is no horseplay at the academy, but there is always self-discipline. Classes are regimented and all students must

pay attention. “This required attention and clarity of thought is what we run into when we are under pressure in everyday life,” explains Mr. Velez. “All important moments have pressure. It’s how we respond that makes the difference.” “I don’t have expectations. I have standards,” adds the fifth degree black belt. Responses to commands are always “Yes, sir” and “Yes, ma’am.” There are no options. Parents are always pleased when they see positive changes in their children. One mother

recently commented that her son was using “Yes, ma’am” at home after just one month of training. All the instructors set up students for success. Do they succeed every time? Of course not. Just as in life, sometimes students advance to the next rank with the first effort and sometimes they won’t. But when they don’t make it, the kids understand this is not a failure. It is just a temporary defeat and they look beyond it. They learn from their mistakes and keep trying. They never give up, but persevere until they succeed.

Each achievement brings a higher level of confidence. Mr. Velez says he has seen shy children start the class, go on to achieve their black belts, and blossom into dancers or musical performers. Many times after a long summer break, children have behavioral problems when school starts. Mr. Velez encourages parents to start their children as soon as possible. As new members see kids their own age excelling, they quickly develop an excellence mindset. The academy accepts children as young as four. An orientation meeting with child and parents determines eligibility. Family enrollments are not unusual. Parents watch their young kids rise to the occasion when treated with maturity. It’s a win-win for everybody.

8th Annual Bike Ride Supports Claremore Main Street

The Dickens of a Ride is set for October 3, 2015 with lots of friendly fun for the entire family. By Carol Beck-Round Over 300 cyclists are expected to converge on downtown Claremore Main Street on October 3 for the 8th annual Dickens of a Ride. With cooler weather and fall officially beginning, riders who participate will enjoy the scenic countryside of west Claremore, through Oologah and around

Claremore Lake. The ride begins at 8 a.m. and includes mechanical and SAG support as well as supplied rest stops throughout the ride, which begins and ends at Gazebo Park on the corner of Muskogee Avenue and Will Rogers Boulevard. Volunteers in cars will be driving

the routes to assist any riders who need support. “We’re blessed to have these people who volunteer their time,” says Janice Whittaker, owner of Bike About Bicycles. Whittaker has helped to organize and promote the event since its beginning in 2007. “It’s like a big party in a way,” says Whittaker. “It’s not a competitive event but a fun relaxing ride with many unique sights along the routes, as well as plenty of refreshments for the cyclists at the various rest stops.” The familyfriendly event features five available routes, depending on the distance chosen by the bike rider. Routes include a Lazy Lake Loop of roughly seven miles; a 30-mile course; a 50-miler; a 62-mile route; and for the more competitive Riders of all ages will enjoy the scenic routes selected for this year’s Dickens of a Ride, set for Saturday, October 3 beginning at 8 a.m. in riders, there is a 100downtown Claremore. Five routes of varying distances are planned to mile route that winds through the rolling challenge even the most dedicated cyclist.

hillsides east of Claremore. “The route is designed to keep riders off of the major highways and ensure the safety of the participants,” she adds. “An added benefit of staying off the main roads is that riders experience some historical places including a WPA built stone schoolhouse, as well as passing by one of the first oil wells in Oklahoma.” Before riders hit the road, downtown’s Boom-a-Rang Diner is offering a rider breakfast special beginning at 6 a.m. Additionally, many of the downtown businesses will open early for the ride and offer discounts for participants as well as for friends of those riding. Registration is $30 per rider for the four longer routes or $30 per family for the Lazy Lake Loop. Tandem rides are also available for $45. Registration packets can be picked up at Bike About Bicycles (300 W. Will Rogers Blvd.) on Thursday, October 1 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. or on the day of the ride beginning at 6 a.m. Maps of the routes will be provided, and riders should be prepared for some hills. Participants and friends of the ride can order a Dickens of

a Ride long-sleeved T-shirt for $20. T-shirt orders must be in by September 7 to ensure they are completed before the ride. All riders are required to wear an ANSI, CPSC or Snell approved helmet and must obey all traffic laws. Riders under 16 years of age must be accompanied by an adult who is also on a bicycle and riding with them. The event supports the programs and projects of Claremore Main Street, Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing Claremore’s downtown area. Proceeds from the event will help fund preservation efforts, economic development and special projects, including planters, trees, benches and public art.

Replacement Driveways Done Right, Priced Right, On Time continued from page 1 neighborhood. His crew, with a combined 30 years’ experience, is also on time. And they are respectful of the property and owner. They typically remove the old drive, set the new one—always with rebar— and clean up, leaving an attractive first impression in just one day. For a decorative touch, they can add a scored border along the edges or a scored diamond pattern. All their driveways require no ongoing maintenance.

“It really bothers me,” he says, “when customers tell me stories about two men and a truck that come to town, set up an office in a hotel room and call people with too-good-to-be-true prices. They collect a deposit and then the customer has to hunt for them to get the work started.” Kalan is deeply rooted in the community, where he and his wife are raising their four adopted children. He is happy when people stop him on the street or in a cof-

fee shop and ask, “Aren’t you the guy who did the driveway at…?” The LCI website includes a list of addresses where they have replaced driveways. Anyone interested can drive by and take a look before calling. The website also includes many customer accolades, such as: “Fantastic workmanship all around. The crew showed up as scheduled, was polite got right down to work and worked very hard. They removed the old con-

crete, installed the forms and poured the new concrete all in one day. They did a fabulous job and were very knowledgeable about the whole process. My lawn looked just as good when they finished as it did when they arrived. They even cleaned the street in front of my house.” LCI Concrete serves the Tulsa metro area. All calls go directly to Kalan’s cell phone, which he personally answers from 9 till 5, Monday through Friday.

Dental Care for All Ages or “family practice” dental offices offer a variety of services that enable most families to have all their dental needs taken care of at one location. Dr. Steve White at White Cosmetic & Family Dentistry has been treating patients of all ages for over 30 years and offers a full range of services. Dr. White and his team of friendly and caring professionals are trained to deliver the most up-to-date treatment in a clean and inviting environment. Patients of different ages present challenges unique to their age group. Most children are the best dental patients a dentist could hope for. The goal is to make their appointments fun and non-threatening. Kids are taught proper homecare routines, and the goal of treatment is to monitor growth and maintain the baby

teeth until the permanent/adult teeth come in. Teenagers have to be helped to learn how to take care of their new adult teeth and given the best opportunity at keeping their teeth for the rest of their lives. This is achieved with preventive visits, orthodontics (braces), and hopefully, a minimum of cavities/decay and fillings. As teenagers leave home and enter adulthood, a big challenge for many is keeping regular appointments for cleanings and check-ups. At the same time in their life, gum disease becomes the major challenge. Tooth decay (cavities) and maintaining old fillings is still a concern; however, gum disease starts to become more of an issue when patients get in their 20s and continues throughout life. Gum disease is the number one reason that

continued from page 1 adults lose their teeth. It is important to keep up with good homecare routines, and most important, to continue cleanings and checkups with your dentist, to insure that healthy teeth and gums are maintained. In adulthood and on in to the golden years, the goal remains maintaining healthy gums and existing dental work. The challenges are dealing with the effects of other health issues and side effects of surgeries and medications, as well as natural wear and tear of teeth. Tooth loss and replacing teeth becomes a major issue for older adults. The popularity of implants, with their many uses, from supporting individual crowns to groups of false teeth, as well as supporting complete dentures, they are an exciting and rewarding phase of dentistry for Dr. White and his team.

For all your family’s dental care in a state-of-the-art facility, consider joining Dr. White’s professional, friendly and caring team in pursuit of optimum dental health. New patients are welcome and most insurance is accepted. Not having traditional dental insurance doesn’t have to mean you can’t afford regular dental care. Our in-office membership plan, called Quality Dental Plan, enables you to receive regular checkups and cleanings, with x-rays, for 1/3 off normal fees, and even more off for other family members. If no further treatment is needed, there is no more cost; unlike traditional dental insurance where your monthly premiums just keep on being paid out. Any further treatment required is provided at a greatly reduced fee. We are happy to give you more details about

Rolling Thunder Dragster Available to Local Charities forward-mounted engines, placed in front of the driver, as opposed to dragsters, which place the engine behind the driver.” Rolling Thunder is a funny car based out of Sapulpa with an 18-gallon tank holding an exotic mixture of alcohol, but is truly powered by love. It can hit 100 miles an hour in 60 feet with 16-inch wheels screaming down the quarter-mile drag strip. The super-charged, highly modified Chevy engine produces 2,500 horse power. Let’s go back to the four-letter word that motivates the MaeHem Racing Team. L-O-V-E not only powers the car, but is the strong bond that holds the Owasso family and friends together. Mark DeMaro is the heart and soul behind the three and half-year project that designed and created Rolling Thunder. The team name, MaeHem, is named in honor of his late mother, Mae. The primary purpose of the car is to “(1) keep the family together while (2) serving the Lord and (3) giving back to the community and helping kids,” says DeMaro. “My mother was our biggest fan.” Mark’s life has been entwined in the automotive field since 1973, when he began drag racing. His first car was a modified ’65 Plymouth Valiant with a Barracuda front end. Car owners and team founders are Scott and Kris Demauro and Mark DeMaro, along with their wives. Scott DeMauro, Mark’s nephew, and the entire crew of Rolling Thunder can’t say enough about the support they and the funny car project receive from their wives. Scott, one of two drivers, admitted the project requires him to spend a lot of time away from home and family. “But this is very good work we do here and we couldn’t do it without approval from our wonderful

wives.” Conception through design to the funny car’s public debut at the Tulsa Raceway on August 15 has taken three and half years. The heart of Rolling Thunder is the powerful Chevy engine, which Paul Bridgewater led in the designing and building of the motor. Three crew members are Michael Newman, George Stabler, and David Summerton, who shares driving duties with Scott. Kris DeMauro is Scott’s brother and his primary role as a crew member is in fabrication, electrical and engine. He and Uncle Mark are responsible for scheduling the funny car’s visits to charitable events in reaching out to the community. One of the first charitable groups to benefit from Rolling Thunder is the Folds of Honor Foundation, which provides scholarships to the spouses and children of soldiers killed or disabled in service to America. The car also will be benefiting Tulsa Youth Services and Hydrants of Hope. MaeHem urges local charities interested in having the funny car dragster on display at an event to contact Mark at 918640-7244 or Kris at 918-637-0509. The entire crew also voices praise to its sponsors, including Auto Zone, Alloy Welding, DeMaro Speed &Customs, DFA Racing, Sundance Welding and Unique Collision.

The design and construction of this 2500horse powered “Funny Car Dragster” consumed this tight-knit group known as the MaeHem Racing Team, primarily by DeMauro Speed and Customs of Owasso. Responsibility of the engine fell into the hands of Paul Bridgewater, bottom left. Behind him are two brothers, Kris DeMauro and Scott (standing). On the right is Michael Newman, sitting, and behind is the heart and soul of Rolling Thunder, crew chief Mark DeMaro of Owasso. He is uncle to Scott and Kris.

Help for Today, Hope for Tomorrow The Tulsa “Hope Walk” benefiting the Huntington’s Disease Society of America will be held Saturday, October 3 at the Floral Haven Memorial Gardens Family Service Center.

By Sheryl Sowell Register now as a team or individual to walk the “Hope Walk” to support Huntington’s disease (HD) research. HD slowly diminishes an individual’s ability to walk, think, talk and reason. Symptoms usually appear between ages 30 and 50 and progress over a 10 to 25 year period. Cases of juvenile HD have been diagnosed in children as young as two years of age. Eventually, a person with HD becomes totally dependent upon others for his or her care. More than 30,000 people in the United States are currently diagnosed with the disease. Each of their siblings

and children has a 50 percent risk of developing the disease; therefore 250,000 are at risk. Although medications can relieve some symptoms in certain individuals, research has yet to find a means of conquering or even slowing the deadly progression of the disease. According to Peggy Kilhefner, coordinator of the Tulsa “Hope Walk,” “A great description of Huntington’s disease is to have ALS, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease all at the same time.” Peggy’s husband, Paul, was diagnosed with Huntington’s in 2010 at the age of 56. Life with the

disease has caused major changes in both of their lives. “In 2011, Paul was struggling with his job and was no longer able to make decisions necessary to manage it, so with the help of his neurologist, the decision was made to start the disability process,” Peggy shares. “When someone with HD walks down the street, others become very aware of their existence, as they perceive them to be drunk. Balance is hard to maintain, speech is slurred, and movements are exaggerated. Parents steer their children (and themselves) away from them. In most cases, it is too much work for

Support the Huntington’s Disease Society of America through walking (as an individual or a team) or by making a donation. The Tulsa “Hope Walk” will be held Saturday, October 3 at the Floral Haven Memorial Gardens Family Service Center, 6420 S. 129th E. Ave. in Broken Arrow. All proceeds support HDSA’s mission to improve the lives of people affected by HD and their families. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. and the walk begins at 9. Huntington’s disease is a devastating, hereditary, degenerative brain disorder that results in a loss of cognitive, behavioral and physical control, and for which there is no cure. In 2013, HDSA launched a new research initiative with the goal of better understanding HD biology as it occurs in humans. HDSA currently funds 21 Clinical Centers of Excellence across the United States. The new research program will support collaborations between basic HD researchers and the HDSA Centers to address important biological questions in HD patients. The Hope Walk is HDSA’s largest national grassroots fundraising event, which takes place in over 100 cities across the country and has raised over $6 million since its inception in 2007. Thousands of families, friends, co-workers, neighbors and communities walk together each year to support HDSA’s mission.

Reverse Mortgage an Option for Seniors By Joshua Danker-Dake If you are a homeowner 62 years of age or older, a reverse mortgage could be a great way for you to improve your cash flow and achieve greater financial stability as well as a more comfortable retirement. Bill Simms is a reverse mortgage specialist. “One of the goals people have is to be able to maintain a comfortable lifestyle,” he says. “And one of the biggest fears seniors have is that they will outlive their money. A reverse mortgage can be a tremendous help for them.” A reverse mortgage is available to anyone 62 years or

older who is a homeowner and has equity in his or her home. “This is a HUD program,” says Simms, “and it’s FHA insured. This creates a safety factor for seniors.” A reverse mortgage can potentially solve a number of cash flow problems. “For seniors who need money or income, a reverse mortgage can be a good solution,” says Simms. “You can take the money as a lump sum or in monthly installments, establish a line of credit, or any combination of the three. The money received is nontaxable – it comes from the principle of your home. When you get a reverse mortgage, there are no restrictions on how you use the money. And some tremendously good news is that recently, HUD is allowing the use of reverse mortgage funds to buy a home.” When homeowners take out reverse mortgages, they borrow a portion of the equity from their homes. “One tremendous advantage of this is that you don’t have to make any payments to the lender. However, the homeowners are still responsible for the payment of property taxes and homeowners' insurance," says Simms. There’s a misconception that when you take out a reverse mortgage, you lose the title of your house, but that’s not true at all. The house always stays in the homeowner’s name.”

Bill Simms, a reverse mortgage specialist, says that reverse mortgages can potentially solve a number of financial problems for seniors.

Simms is a certified senior advisor and has almost two decades of experience in this and related fields. “I’ve been helping seniors with their financial needs for 18 years,” says Simms. “I have experience with insurance and protection programs, and I’ve worked to resolve the needs of seniors. In the last eight years, I’ve specialized in

reverse mortgages, and I do that exclusively now.” Simms has been in the Tulsa area for 17 years. “A lot of children would prefer to keep their parents in their home for as long as possible,” says Simms. “I’ve found that most are in favor of a reverse mortgage. It’s a way to give the parents a more comfortable retirement. A reverse mortgage is a great way to keep mom and dad living in the home, and they don’t have to make monthly mortgage payments.” Even if you have a loan on your house, you may still qualify for reverse mortgage. And you can use the money from a reverse mortgage to pay off a loan or lien. “This is a good way to improve your cash flow by eliminating those monthly payments,” says Simms. “A reverse mortgage can be a useful tool for people who don’t want to take Social Security too early. It can also be an attractive option and a big help for people with dwindling 401(k)s.” If you think a reverse mortgage might be right for you or your parents, or if you want more information about reverse mortgages, call Bill Simms at (918) 852-5784.
