Expert Advice for a More Energy Efficient Home BY KATHY SMITH
F
ebruary, 2022: Older homes can be made more energy efficient with smart upgrades that result in lower utility bills, and added benefits of increasing the value, comfort and beauty of your home. Investing in your home’s exterior, windows, attic, and roof are all environmentally-friendly improvements with energy-saving payoffs. Millennials (in 2022 ages 25 and 40 years) are one of the largest home buying segments today. They are economical and are ecological-minded purchasers whose buying decisions rest on energy efficiency to save money and leave a lower carbon footprint. Community Builders, Inc. is a local team who provides answers to your home energy efficiency needs. Owner Greg Wolter started Community Builders, Inc. in his bedroom in the early 1980s. By 1990, they had moved into a building, and nearly every year since then, have seen steady growth in sales. Starting with siding, the company has expanded over the years to its now all-inclusive specialty home improvement services including windows, roofing, bathrooms, sunrooms, insulation, gutters and doors. “My passion for this company is two-fold. First, I want to see the people that work here improve their lives… We constantly talk about how we can become better human beings. And then, we want to make sure we take care of our customers and that they get a good value,” Wolter said. Windows, doors, and insulation are three areas where minor change can make a major impact. In fact, Community
Builders, Inc. has helped customers reduce their utility costs by 50 percent, just by upgrading windows and insulation. Their energy efficient products include EnviroView replacement windows, Green Energy Barrier radiant insulation, Cedar Ridge composite siding, and insulated 26 gauge steel metal roofing. They offer seven styles of windows, and each are installed with a low-e coating and airtight seal, giving them heightened ability to keep hot air out during the summer, and in during the winter. Their doors are durable, high quality and high performance. Also installed with a customfit to make an airtight seal, a door from Community Builders, Inc. will stop drafts and reduce your energy bills. They use energy-barrier material in their insulation, which reflects heat energy, instead of merely slowing down its absorption. Wolter said, “Think of insulation like a sponge. Eventually, a sponge gets saturated and can’t soak anything else in. Insulation is the same way, it blocks for a while, then gets full and doesn’t do any good. If you can reflect that energy off of it, the insulation works better for a longer period of time. That’s what the energy-barrier material does.” What do you think pollutes the most? A plane? A train? A car? Or, a house? “Most people think it’s a car, but it’s your house,” Wolter said. “Your house pollutes the environment more than anything else. If we can improve the efficiency of a home, then we also reduce the carbon footprint, which of course

is good for everybody… Good for the pocketbook, good for the consumer, and good for the value of the home.” Wolter said his greatest desire is to serve his customers well, and make sure they make a wise decision that’s the best fit for them. He recommends only making the energy-efficient upgrades if it makes financial sense to do so. “We want to make sure we take care of our customers, and that they get a good value,” Wolter said, “We’re not perfect, but we are pretty darn good.” Community Builders, Inc. has a heart for helping locally and internationally. Overseas, they’ve built a school in Peru, where they feed children every day and a chapel in Thailand, where they help rescue children out of human trafficking. In addition, they help support Habitat for Humanity, as well as food banks in Bulgaria and Macedonia. Contact Community Builders to find out more about energy-saving options for your home.

Regardless of Property’s Taxable Value, Tulsa County Assessor Says: “The tax cap is your friend.” BY TOM FINK
F
ebruary, 2022: It’s the responsibility of the Tulsa County Assessor’s office to put an accurate, fair market value on all property in Tulsa County, as of the lawful assessment date, with that date being Jan. 1. According to Assessor John Wright, the reason for this is twofold: One, so that everyone is treated equally, and two, the property assessment is half of what ends up being the property tax bill (the value times the millage rate). “We’re required by law to notify the people that there has been an increase in the assessment from the previous year, so if we’ve raised the evaluation for tax roll purposes from last year, we send out a notification to the property owner to that effect,” he said. “That notice opens up a 30-day window of appeal, as well as allowing a window of time for people to apply for lawful exemptions.” Wright’s office is required to look at one-fourth of the county every year, in what’s called the Visual Inspection Cycle, with the county being divided into four roughly even territories, even by virtue of structures being considered. Even the three territories not being visually inspected on a given year are valued, but done so through a market analysis of the sales activity that has taken place in the immediate area. As a result of this analysis, Wright’s

office applies a trending factor, and moves a group of homes to keep them in line with what’s going on in the marketplace, multiplying their assessed value by said trending factor and raising them to be in line with the market. In the case of Wright’s, his office is less a thermostat, trying to raise the values of the market, than it is a mirror, simply reflecting what the values of the market are indicating. “There’s a great deal of concern right now about the impact of inflation, and people’s ability to make their budget,” Wright said. “The concern about the impact on property values and how it might affect someone’s property taxes is going to be a concern when we send out our notices. “That said, there’s a mechanism in the constitution and statutes that constrains the reflection or the raise of property tax values, regardless of what’s happening with the raise in market values,” he said. “If someone has filed for a homestead exemption, the property has to be the individual’s primary residence, they have to be occupying in Jan. 1, their name has to be on the deed – most everybody that’s got an owner-occupied property is going to qualify for a homestead exemption.” The window of time to file for a homestead exemption, Wright said, is Jan. 1 through March 15 of each year. “If someone has a homestead exemption, the maximum amount that a property can be increased for tax purposes is 3 percent,” he said. “Most people are hoping that their investment in their home appreciates at least that much, so the people have voted in what we refer to as a cap on the taxable value. In the office, we call this a ‘tax cap’, but it’s better understood (by the public) as a cap on the taxable value of the amount their property can increase for tax roll purposes.” Wright gave the example that, should the assessed value of a $100,000 house go up to $118,000, for tax roll purposes, it’s only going up to $103,000 (3 percent), if it has a homestead exemption.
Without this exemption, Skiatook Collinsville commercial properties, possibly rental or nonowner occupied Owasso properties, the cap is still in place but it is a 5 percent cap.

strives to reach potential visitors as well residents in the region. “I have been in the hospitality industry for a long time; from hotels and restaurants to my long time career as the Director of Visit Claremore,” said Andrews, a second generation Claremore Zebra and RSU alumni. “I started in 2005 when it was the Claremore Convention & Visitors Bureau and has evolved into Visit Claremore. Now a department of the City of Claremore, we merged with the Claremore Expo Center in 2015. Missions were identical so the two merging made sense and allowed for more resources for both.” As an industry “storyteller,” Visit Claremore tells the history of the community to visitors through social media, advertising, news articles and in-person with the public. “Tourism is the purest form of economic development. It doesn’t require roads, bridges, stop lights, utilities, etc. except when we see growth in hotels, and restaurants or other related businesses,” Andrews said. “With a healthy flow of visitors the increase in usage and need of our hospitality businesses is a healthy growth to the city, via sales taxes, increased utilities and providing more jobs without taxing roads and emergency services.” Inasmuch as tourism benefits
the city, Andrews also commended the town’s many entrepreneurs, and the importance of community support. “To buy locally you are supporting one of our own residents, who have invested thousands, maybe even millions in our community,” she said. “They have already given back by bringing, or opening, their business here; they believe that our community is worth their investment. Additionally, they are providing local jobs. Some business owners and/or property owners might not be from Claremore, however, their employees are. Those employees live here and spend their money on groceries, utilities, and contribute to our tax base.” “To buy from a local business we are investing our money to keep them here-keep them open and employees working-we are supporting their dream and their investments they brought to the table first,” she said.

We host business meetings, private parties, dinners, weddings, receptions, memorial service receptions, etc. “I tell people that if it doesn’t involve live animals, fire or water, we’re probably open to the idea of doing it,” she laughed. Gebhart, a veteran meeting planner and event planner, had been working remotely in Claremore for a company in Texas when she had the idea for Three Twenty on Main. “I managed meetings all over the U.S. and internationally, and the company I worked for specialized in educational meetings for physicians and nurses,” she said. “My partners and I looked around and saw this blossoming of event venues all over the country, so we said to ourselves ‘We could do that.’” By the fall of 2016, Gebhart, Tommy Duncan and Brian Courtney found the space in downtown Claremore that would eventually become Three Twenty on Main.

Between Thanksgiving 2016 and March 2017, the building underwent a “radical transformation” before it opened to the public. “We purposely left a lot of the base elements of the building in place – the history of the building was something we appreciated,” she said. Able to accommodate up to 120 people with a total square footage of 4,000 feet, including a bridal dressing room upstairs and kitchen space, Three Twenty on Main can meet the needs for gatherings of all sizes. Gebhart describes the décor as “elegantly neutral,” allowing for minimum redecoration to look festive for any occasion – casual, semi-formal, formal and very formal. “We have a good neutral palette here, allowing people to do whatever they want to do for whatever event they plan to hold here,” she said. Early reservations are always preferable with at least a “90 day notice” typifying how much advance time is needed for most bookings. “People in Claremore have been so good, so welcoming to us,” she said. “When we started this, we knew we were bringing something

Of all the destinations in Claremore, few have more history than that which honors the life of Oklahoma’s most famous son: the Will Rogers Memorial. More than 19,000-square feet in size, the museum houses artifacts, memorabilia, pictures,

manuscripts, and more pertaining to Rogers’ life, with a theater to show Rogers movies and documentaries. “What we do is preserve and share the life and legacy of Will Rogers for future generations,” explained Will Rogers Memorial Executive Director Tad Jones. As a native Rogers Countian, Jones is well-acquainted with the story of Will. “I grew up in Claremore, went to school in Oologah – towns which were both important parts of Will’s early life – I’ve been around the memorial and the Birthplace Ranch (in Oologah) most of my life,” he said. “I was in the Oklahoma legislature for 12 years and became more familiar with the memorial, as it’s a state entity. When (former museum director) Steve (Gragert) retired in 2014, I was contacted to see if I might be interested in taking over for him, to which I said ‘Absolutely.’ I had a marketing background, and thought I could use that and my experience to really expand the memorial’s outreach, both in the community and beyond. I’m thrilled to have this opportunity.” Even though Rogers rose to fame

nearly 100 years ago, so many of his insights and outlooks remain as relevant today as they did during his lifetime. “When people come to the museum, they have a good time, they have fun, and they come to understand Will’s joy for life, how he lived life to the fullest and treated everyone with respect,” he said. “He gave all for his fellow man and his family. He was just a great citizen role model for our community, our state and our nation.” While the museum serves as a destination for travelers from around the world, many of them stopping to see the sights while traveling Route 66, Jones said he’s appreciative of the support that the museum receives from the community. “We try to do a lot of activities for the community – to draw them in and experience Will, to bring people together in the spirit of Will,” he said. “We have Will’s Country Christmas, Will Rogers Days, Easter egg hunts, Family Days, lectures, etc. We are part of this community, sharing thoughts, ideas and friendships with Claremore residents and people within the local and nearby communities.” The museum gift shop contains numerous books, clothing items, cards, kid’s toys, and other mementos about Will Rogers, Route 66, the community and the state – perfect for souvenirs, keepsakes or Christmas gifts.

Fashionable, Trendy and Community Champion: District on Main
T
he District on Main in Claremore features a stylish selection of fashionable clothing and accessory brands, handbags and home goods – with a very interesting beginning. This fabulous boutique features over 170 of the most coveted brands including Gorjana, Kendra Scott, Brighton, Dear John, Sanctuary, Tribal, Dylan, Z Supply, Liverpool and Brumate. “First and foremost, The District (on Main) is a women’s clothing, jewelry and gift store” said Cari Bohannan, owner, The District on Main. “We are your one stop shop in Claremore for a woman’s clothing needs for every day or special occasions.” Bohannan’s path to owning a boutique began nearly decade ago, also in downtown Claremore. The business has evolved through the years. “We originally started across the street with a partner, with paint, and painted furniture in a booth at Sailors (Antiques),” she said. “Then, we

changed brands of paint and it required our own storefront, which led us to opening our own shop – and here we are.” Now a fashion-forward boutique, The District on Main offers affordable chic, trendy and popular clothing. Styles are appropriate selections for women of all ages. As well as a distinctive selection of jewelry and accessories, handbags, bath and body items, and gifts for just about everyone on your giving list. “We have an eclectic atmosphere here – in one way, it’s like walking back into history because this is a historic building, and many elements of its past are still here, especially the walls, but it’s also very fun and relaxed, but with a large assortment of brand-name items people won’t find anywhere else but here. I like to describe us as having ‘big city fashion with small town charm.’” “We have several out-of-town customers, many of whom order online, but the community has been a big supporter of us, for which we’re very grateful,” she said. “As the last couple of years
VALUE NEWS BROKEN ARROW FEBRUARY 2022 WWW.VALUENEWS.COM
have made some people reluctant to shop in person, we’re fortunate that they’ve stepped up and shopped with us online or ordered and taken advantage of our curbside pickup.” Bohannan said supporting local businesses such as her own isn’t just good for the customer, it’s good for the community, as so many local business owners are community members and partners themselves, who then return the support in other businesses, civic groups, clubs and organizations. “People who support us, who support local businesses are indirectly supporting their community,” she said. “It means so much to us as small-business owners.” Several specials will be offered throughout the Christmas and holiday season. The District on Main is located at 406 W. Will Rogers Boulevard. For more information, call the District on Main at 918-283-4637 or visit them online at http://www. thedistrictonmain.com/

Sailor Antiques: A Must Visit Antique and Collectibles Paradise

renda Reno and Mary White are more than just mother and daughter. Since Feb. 1, 2013, the pair have also been business partners, overseeing the downtown antique store, Sailor Antiques & Collectibles. “Our business involves the sale of antiques, collectibles and other vintage items,” Reno said.
Above: Sailor Antiques property has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
“Originally, I worked in a corporate job in Pryor, but I’d always had an antiques booth during my career because it’s always been a way for me to relax.” Eventually, Reno opened her own shop in Claremore – a place for antique lovers like herself. “How we operate is, we have the space and rent it out to a proprietor, who is responsible for furnishing it, keeping it clean and marketing the items, which are generally vintage in nature,”
Above: Owners Mary White and Brenda Reno invite you to step back in time at Sailor Antiques.
she said. “We have 40 proprietors spread out over 7,000 square feet.” Proprietor booth spaces are month-to-month, so unique items offered change from one month to the next, but always with something for collectors or those who just want to be reminded of simpler times. “We get a lot of business from travelers, but also from members of the community and others from around the area,” she said. “Antique shopping is a unique experience. So many people have told us that it’s relaxing, it’s enjoyable, and it evokes memories from their childhood. People will come in just to look around and come across things that remind them of when they were growing up or of their parents. Something we hear quite often is ‘Oh, my grandmother used to have one of those.’” Sailor Antiques itself is something of an antique, as the building itself was built in 1902 and is on the National Register of Historic Places. “We’re blessed that we’re in this beautiful historic building and we’re also in a corridor of some main thoroughfares – Route 66, the Will Rogers Turnpike, Highway 20, etc.,” she said. Among some of the more collectible items to be found at Sailor are Fenton glassware and Frankoma Pottery of Sapulpa, but highly collectible or not, Reno said all items carry fond memories for someone and her store – and Claremore – are perfect destinations. “I believe that Claremore is a destination, a great community – just the three blocks that are historic downtown Claremore is a great area,” she said. “We’re all
neighbors – we share a lot of joy and passion for promoting our businesses and community as a family destination for antiques, boutiques, uniques, and dining. This is a great community.” Sailor Antiques & Collectibles is located at 422 W. Will Rogers Boulevard. For more information, contact Sailor Antiques at 918-341-4838.

GALA TIME! Tulsa Making a Difference by Uncorking the Cure
BY CHRISTY STEPHENS
F
ebruary, 2022: On Friday, March 4, 2022, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society will present their 20th Annual Uncorking the Cure for MS fundraising gala at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in downtown Tulsa. This important event is your opportunity to contribute while also enjoying the exciting activities of the evening. You can help fuel solutions for everyone by participating, donating or volunteering in this event. Multiple sclerosis is a neuromuscular disease that affects the brain and the spinal cord, in which the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue in the central nervous system. Symptoms can be varied in everyone, from relatively mild to severe. The National Multiple Sclerosis Society strives to raise funds that are critical
for MS research for treatment and, ultimately, a cure; and to better the quality of life of those affected by multiple sclerosis. “This event has been very significant and impactful for fundraising, and raising public awareness and education about MS,” declares Nikki Smith, MS Leadership Events Manager. “Over the past 20 years, the Uncorking the Cure for MS event has raised over a million dollars! That’s so important to advancing our mission as an organization. The funds raised support our program, services and worldwide research.” “We were founded 76 years ago; since 2002, our medical research breakthroughs have been significant,” says Smith. “We now have over 20 treatment options for those living

with MS.” Experiences of the evening include live entertainment provided by The STARS Band and a live auction. The main highlight of the evening will be the presentation of the MS Hope Award to Lucia and Dr. Brent Laughlin. “The MS Hope Award is presented to our volunteers that have gone above and beyond,” explains Smith. “It represents our acknowledgement of their longstanding commitment to our (National MS Society’s) mission and the phenomenal impact of the support. It’s the most prestigious award we offer at our events.” The Laughlin’s involvement with the National MS Society started over a decade ago with Uncorking the Cure, motivated by their love for their

sister-in-law, Nancy Hawkins, who was diagnosed with MS in 1983. “It was through Nancy that we learned so much about the disease and people that live with it,” says Lucia Laughlin. Brent Laughlin, who is a family practice physician, has a professional involvement as well, he says, as being more in tune with MS patients because of his sister-in-law’s diagnosis. Resolute advocates to the cause, Brent and Lucia Laughlin are invaluable to the National MS Society.
