BEAUTY TREATMENTS TO FIGHT WINTER DRYNESS By Erica Ludwig The bells have rung and the new year has come. Winter has made its welcome as temperatures continue to drop, drying out everything in its path from the grass in the yard to our skin and hair.
The team at Reveal Salon & Aesthetics has one resolution in mind for this year: for their clients to take care of the skin they’re in. Say hello to hydration this winter with treatments for your hair, nails and skin.
HAIR When it comes to hair, Salon Owner and Aesthetician Nicole McGinnis turns to the expertise of two of her experienced stylists, Jill Curbello and Troy Edmonds. Their number one treatment for winter hydration is the Brazilian Blowout. A liquid keratin treatment,
the Brazilian blowout provides a protective layer on the hair, reducing frizz and preserving moisture. “I have clients who come to me for a blowout and get their hair cut elsewhere,” said Jill. “The blowout is great because it works on any hair type and
texture. It also improves shine and moisture levels.” The blowout is a deep conditioning treatment. It makes the cuticle smooth, sealing in moisture. One of the main things the blowout is known for is making the hair smooth and silky, lasting up to 12 weeks.
“Brazilian blowout is different because there’s no downtime to it, “ said Troy. “ With other keratin treatments you have to wait 2-3 days before shampooing, getting your hair wet or putting it in a ponytail. With the Brazilian Blowout, you’re done when you leave the salon.”
master barber. The entire staff offers consultations in all services for those who aren’t quite decided about a new look. The salon has been voted Best in the World by Tulsa World Weekend readers in 2014, 2015 and 2016. Call Reveal Salon for a
consultation to keep your skin and hair glowing this winter.
NAILS Just because our feet are not as exposed this time of year, that doesn’t mean we can neglect them. Getting regular manicures and pedicures can help fight the effect the colder temperatures have on our hands and feet.
Debbie Edmonds of Reveal provides women and men of all ages services including manicures, pedicures, acrylic nails and Shellac. She also uses solar oil for dry nails to get them back in good shape.
SKIN Take care of your skin this winter. Reveal Salon offers chemical peels and a variety of treatments for the extra hydration our skin needs during the cold months. “Winter is a great time to come in for a chemical peel 14 | Values January 2017
because our skin isn’t as exposed to the sun as it is during the summer,” says Nicole. “Almost anyone can benefit from peels and hydration treatments this time of year.” The Reveal team also includes six other stylists and a

WHERE EVERYBODY
KNOWS YOUR NAME
By Kristi Roe-Owen
For all its connectivity, our modern world can be awfully lonely. A stop by any trendy coffee shop can be low-key Orwellian, with nearly as many black screens as lattes. Duffy’s Restaurant in Broken Arrow provides a much-needed respite for the modern soul in a laid-back atmosphere where everyone is a neighbor or friend and the definition of a good meal includes “made from scratch with love.” For many, the diner experience is about so much
more than food. It’s the place where everyone knows each other. Like any diner worth its salt, Duffy’s offers the same made-from-scratch pancakes they’ve served for more than three decades, fresh battered chicken fried steak, and staples like home cooked roast beef and meatloaf. Of course, it wouldn’t be a true diner without all-day breakfast. But for many locals, the food is almost a formality. The bright, welcoming dining space, equipped with requisite cozy booths and
cheery walls, is a home-awayfrom-home to many. Owner Eddie Chamat couldn’t love his job more. He smiled as he extolled the family atmosphere. “We are now serving our fourth generation of regulars,” he bragged. It’s not uncommon to see guests laughing and joking with each other and staff on any day. Over the 32 years of its existence, Duffy’s has come to be something of an anchor in Broken Arrow community life, with Eddie rarely passing up an opportunity to be involved. A gentle man with a kind demeanor, he shrugged humbly when waitress Scarlett
Getzloff bragged about his community support, pointing out that he gives to several charities, even donating pancake batter when local organizations want to host a pancake breakfast fundraiser. But the boss’ efforts at modesty were belied by his excitement when Thanksgiving was mentioned. Eddie’s eyes lit up as he spoke about his 30-year tradition providing Thanksgiving for anyone in the community in need of a meal. “We fed about 1000 people this year,” he beamed. “It’s a tradition for many families. They stop by here with the kids, the entire family, and they volunteer for a while before heading off to do their own Thanksgiving dinner,” Eddie grinned. If you’re in need of a little recharge on soul-stirring food and vibes, take a pit stop by Duffy’s in Broken Arrow and instantly feel better about life. DUFFY’S RESTAURANT 706 S.

WHERE THE
GRASS IS
GREENER By Erica Ludwig
In the season of holidays and starting fresh, Grassroots Healthcare in Tulsa is thankful for just that: another year of doing what they love in the community they adore. “I love what I do,” said Founder, Dr. Melita Tate. “We’re helping people while still being able to provide for ourselves. I love working in this clinic, and being a part of the community.” Grassroots Healthcare opened in May of 2011 near the corner of 91st and Sheridan. It didn’t take long for word to travel quickly about the affordable and friendly clinic. After a time of transition, the healthcare team is back and better than ever. Melita Tate, M.D., is proud to lead the small team dedicated to providing quality, affordable healthcare. Dr. Tate attributes the clinic’s success to the love and loyalty of her patients and the community. To her, gratitude doesn’t even begin to cover the spectrum of what she feels in response to customers’ constant love. “Thanks to the support of the community, we’re able to care for people like we did before,” she said. “We were going through transition for a bit, but now we’re back and better than ever. It’s all because of the wonderful people around us, our neighbors and people at other businesses who have referred patients to us. We are so thankful.” Everything about 18 | Values January 2017
Grassroots is in-house. The team includes a nurse practitioner, which allows for membership –based appointments and visit-based appointments. Dr. Tate prides herself on the clinic’s no insurance policy, the key factor in their low costs. Because Grassroots doesn’t accept Medicare or any insurance, labs are as low as $20 with simple office visits starting at $59. “We do not deal with insurance, nor do we take Medicare,” says Dr. Tate . “Our goal is for people to be healthy. We like to spend as much time with patients as we can so that we can help them in the best possible way.” Grassroots aims to be a naturally minded clinic. This straightforward approach, reminiscent of small-town practices, is advantageous for several types of patients. Many of Dr. Tate’s patients are regulars because they trust her knowledge and appreciate the attention she dedicates to their health. “We try our best to support the system so you don’t have to stay on medication,” said Dr. Tate. “We always look at the natural remedies first.” Come say hello to the friendly staff of Grassroots Healthcare and start your new year the right way.

DISCOUNT IN PRICE, By Erica Ludwig The definition of discount is, “offering goods for sale at a reduced price.” Discounted pricing is sometimes associated with lower quality. Not in this case. Discount Garage Door carries an all-inclusive better product with measurable differences. Discount Garage Door installs 24-gauge steel, high R-value insulated doors and premium garage door operators everywhere from million dollar homes to storage buildings. They use industry and consumer top quality rated products, like Wayne Dalton, Doorlink, Genie, and Liftmaster. “We know these products are the best and we want to offer them for the best price,” said Owner Dustin Loyal. “Most people associate the term ‘discount’ with a cheap product, but we pride ourselves on that name because of our prices. We just want to do right by people and sell them the best quality part or product for a great price.” Dustin was born and raised on a farm in Wellston, Oklahoma, before moving to Phoenix at 18 years old. It was there that he began his career in the garage door industry for a national garage door sales, service and installation company. Dustin moved back to the Oklahoma City area in 2001 and established Discount Garage Door, expanding to Tulsa in 2010. Discount Garage Door not only cares about the quality of your door, but helping you select what will suit your home best. “When you set an appointment for a free estimate, a member of
20 || Values January 2017 2017 20 Values January
our professional team will come to your home. We will measure your existing door and opening, identifying any potential obstacles; overcoming those up front,” said Sales Manager Bill Layne. “We will show you color and panel samples. We also have photos of the actual doors available for your selection, and can provide you with a computer generated mock-up of your selection.” While most companies offer warranties only up to a year, Discount Garage Door has a five-year warranty on parts and labor. “Our warranty definitely set us apart,” said General Manager Kyle McIntyre. “Most true warranties are for 90 days to a year, and that’s just on parts. We go above and beyond for our customers by offering a fiveyear warranty on labor. Our reviews are all five star and by real customers in the Tulsa metro area. We really take pride in that.” Another unique factor to the Discount Garage team is their fourlegged family member. Some folks may also recognize Jasper, Dustin’s Irish wolfhound, from Discount Garage Door events and commercials. “We’ve kind of dubbed him our mascot,” says Dustin. “He’s our star. He’s the reason that people walk up to us at shows.” Discount Garage Door

operates on a 24/7-business model. An employee is always there to answer the phone, even on nights and weekends. It will cost you the same whether you have an emergency and need someone immediately on a Sunday night or a Tuesday morning. “We try to stand out from everybody else, from quality of product, to being available for our customers at all times, as well as our quality control even on the smallest job,” said Dustin. “We are always checking with clients on how we can improve. They recognize the value in our products and our service.” Discount Garage Door works with the St. Jude Dream Home each year with 100% donation. They also donate to Habitat for Humanity, Meals on Wheels and the Tulsa Performing Arts Center rehearsal space. “I’m involved in every aspect of the business because I like to know that we are doing the best for our customers,” said Dustin. “That’s why we’re local and family-owned.” Become a part of the family and give Discount Garage Door a call.

QUESTIONS TO ASK
WHEN BUYING YOUR NEXT GARAGE DOOR • What Gauge Steel is the Door?
The Lower the number the better grade and stronger the Steel. A lot of other companies use 25, 26, and 27. Di$count Garage Door always uses 24 Gauge Steel Doors.
• What type of Insulation/R-Rating does the door have?
Many companies use a Styrofoam, “AKA Vinyl Back” with an R-Rating of 4-6. Di$count Garage Door uses foam Polyurethane with a HIGHER R-Rating 9-11 / 11-13.

TILE TILE TIME TIME By Kristi Roe-Owen
WITH TONY
The advent of Pinterest and HGTV has turned many of us into home design lovers. But anyone who has taken the initiative to turn a total kitchen renovation into a reality knows that the implementation isn’t always as dreamy as it looks. Tony Sementi of Tile by Tony offers his clients the opportunity to achieve that big T.V. reveal without all the drama. Completing a remodel is more about contracting and scheduling than simply checking out tile samples. The more thorough a remodel, the more downtime that area of the home will experience. Tony’s team does it all, from framing to sheetrock to creating their own cabinetry. “We can’t all afford to have HGTV experts come in, so we need a local partner to offer that kind of creative quality,” he explained. Tony’s discovered he had a natural aptitude for remodeling after building houses with his own father in his younger years. These days, Tony’s team of gifted craftsmen handles almost every aspect of a home remodel. So how do you take your dreams of granite countertops and heated floors to the next level? Set up a time to meet with Tony. He will assess your needs, find out what you want to achieve, and come up with suggestions. His visit will end with an estimate, but it will also give you a solid direction 24 | Values January 2017
and a plan of action. Next, he will work with you to select the materials. Tony’s store offers an impressive selection of cutting edge materials. Some of the more remarkable products include tile that offers the illusion of wood flooring. Homeowners get the beauty of hardwood floors, but the ability to withstand the constant foot traffic of a growing family. Tony is also up to date on other design trends, including authentic barn wood plank walls and flooring, heated floors, stainless steel countertops and synthetic granite. He carries products from vendors with whom he has maintained partnerships over many decades. When a project commences, Tony oversees every aspect of a project. Back at the store, his home team handles constant contact with homeowners. The seasoned craftsman lives by an admirable creed: “Always deliver more than people expect. People know we’re going to do good work, but we like to blow them away.” To get started on your remodel or check out some of the latest design trends in real life, stop by Tony’s store in Catoosa.

By Melynda Stone Put on your Mardi Gras beads and celebrate “Fat Tuesday” at the 4th Annual Volunteers for Youth “Chair-ity” Auction. The event is slated for February 18th, beginning at 6:30 p.m. at Moore Farms Rustic Weddings & Event Barns. “The 2017 “Chair-ity” Auction promises to be even more fun than last year’s near sell-out event,” said Volunteers for Youth’s Executive Director, Chris Butler. “If you attended and had fun last year, you will want to put the February 18th date on your calendar. If you missed it, definitely make plans to attend this one!” he added. The Mardi-Gras themed event will feature a live auction of creatively re-purposed and re-designed furnishings. Donations of “chair” entries along with any type of creatively re-purposed and redesigned small furnishing are being accepted by contacting the Volunteers for Youth office. The silent auction will offer men and women alike something for every budget. Cajun cuisine, jazz music, a cash bar and a mysterious new game of chance will round out the evening. Tickets are on sale now for the event and may be purchased at the Volunteers for Youth office inside Claremore’s Grand Bank, the Claremore Chamber of Commerce, the Claremore Community Center, and Waterfront Frame & Art in downtown Claremore. Prior to the event, ticket prices are $25 each or two for $40. Should they still be available, tickets sold at the 26 || Values January 2017 2017 26 Values January
door will be $30 each. “The ‘Chair-ity’ Auction offers a great opportunity for members of the public to exercise their creativity while supporting our youth-serving programs. Every young person has value, just like every piece of furniture, even those pieces that are in need of love and attention,” said Butler. The mission of Volunteers for Youth is to positively impact the lives of Rogers County youth. This is accomplished through various mentoring programs. Their prevention team also deploys strategies to reduce underage drinking, substance abuse, tobacco use and works to create an overall healthier environment in Rogers County through increased physical activity and improved nutrition. Volunteers for Youth is a local organization that is not affiliated with any national organizations and supported through fundraising efforts, individual donations and grants.

By Deanna Rebro A thick, lush, head-turning landscape in the summer starts in winter. So much of caring for a lawn comes down to knowing what needs to be done and when to do it. The first step to a great yard is knowing who to call before spring. For the past 11 years, Sooner Lawn has been delivering a six-step lawn care program from early spring through fall that gets rid of weeds and nourishes grass so it will look good year-round. Owner and U.S. Army Captain Michael Bolton says that early spring is the best time to begin preparing your lawn. Sooner Lawn’s sixstep program begins with an application of pre-emergent
herbicide for crabgrass control, continues with additional weed control and fertilizers during spring and summer, and ends with a winterization weed control in the fall. While many homeowners treat their own lawns, the
particular grass at the right times throughout the year for optimum results, applying lime to regulate proper soil ph to allow maximum effectiveness of fertilizers, and monitoring for insects and diseases. One of the hallmarks of
Sooner Lawn professionals take things to the next level. They treat lawns with the right formulations for that
Sooner Lawn is quick results. “We don’t have to tell our customers their lawns are getting better. They can see improvement each time we’re there,” says Michael. One customer, president and landscaping chairman of The Reserve at Battle Creek said, “The Reserve looks better that it has ever looked in the past, thanks to the Sooner crew. They are very professional and take great pride in their work. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a lawn care company.” Michael adds that Sooner Lawn’s prices are below
most, if not all, other local lawn care companies. And their prompt and professional customer service goes above and beyond expectations. “We keep our customers happy by offering great service at a great price with great results. Just give us a chance to prove it,” he says. A five-year customer echoes his comment. “We have found Michael’s work to be very good, as well as his pricing. We would highly recommend his services.” Sooner Lawn serves residential and commercial customers throughout Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Bixby, Jenks, Sand Springs, Owasso and Claremore. Optional services include fertilization of flowerbeds, aeration for more effective watering and nourishment, perimeter control, insect control of fleas, ticks, ants, spiders and chinch bugs, mole control, turf disease control and fescue seeding. They are fully licensed and insured, and all their recommended work is guaranteed. Sooner Lawn is also accredited with the Better Business Bureau. Preparation now will go a long way toward enjoying the healthy green lawn you want this summer. And you don’t have to lift a finger except to call Sooner Lawn.

ASK MELLA AT MY CHOICE REAL TIPS FOR SENIORS LIVING INDEPENDENTLY
How to Afford Care for Seniors Living at Home As more people age, over 10K people a day are turning 65, the question of how to pay for needed care is being asked much more often. Financial planning may not be in place. There are assets-- a home and car, and a small Social Security check, and some savings. How do you know how much you can spend on care? First, you must understand your set monthly income. This includes all set payments from Social Security, pensions and any other set payment you receive. Do not include random income from occasionally working or receiving gifts. Second, make a list of all set payments you must make each month. Mortgage or rent, utilities, vehicle loans, gasoline for a month, groceries, insurance premiums and credit card payments should all be listed.
Anything you do not have to spend is non-essential. Dining out, vacations, sending money to a grandson in college and new landscaping are all expenses you can change if needed. These expenses can be hard to track and control. Try keeping your receipts for 30 days and reviewing how your money was spent—it will make you more aware of your spending habits. Subtract your set expenses from your set income and you decide how to spend any leftover money. Remember it will be an advantage if you have a little cash put away for emergencies. But what if you are upside down and you still need care? There are places to seek financial assistance in reorganizing your payments or lowering your payments. If you feel you have ‘lower income’ you may
qualify for the Advantage Plan or even a grant that will provide you with a part time caregiver. Reach out to your church or Life Senior Services in Tulsa (918)664-9000 for information or referral to assistance. At My Choice we work within the family budget to build a Care Plan that meets as many needs as possible. We are committed to helping seniors live well at home. For more information contact:

By Erica Ludwig The office of Carletti Family and Cosmetic Dentistry has been in operation in the city of Sapulpa for over 50 years. A native of Oklahoma, the late Dr. John Carletti, D.D.S., made a huge commitment to service when he moved to the city to grow his dental practice. The practice has been at its current address of 635 S. Main St. since the beginning of 1980. Carletti watched his children grow up while his office expanded, but he wanted to make an even bigger commitment to his community through education. Dental Careers of Tulsa was established in 1998, and Dr. Carletti’s legacy continues today through his children: Dr. Andrew Carletti, Karen Summers and Cathy Carletti-DuPriest.
“Dental Careers of Tulsa has optimized quality programs,” said Program Administrator Norma Tyler. “Since 1998, we have been training students to not only be the best at what they do, but also to care for their patients.” This dental assisting course consistently produces quality dental assistants by offering courses in the spring, summer and fall. There are two different class times to choose from with the same amount of hours. Whether someone is taking two classes a week for 14 weeks or just Saturday courses for 10 weeks, the commitment is the same. A maximum of eight students per class is accepted, and all class times allow students to train for their exciting
new careers while continuing to work at their current jobs. Training session topics include a general introduction to dentistry, X-ray training, infection control, anatomy, instruments and equipment of dentistry, oral surgery, and office management. “Our students complete a 40-hour internship, allowing them to have hands-on training in the field of general dentistry,” said Norma. Names of dentists who indicate that they are seeking qualified dental assistants are given to those enrolled in the program. Some are offered jobs pending graduation. “Dental assistant training is so much more than setting up a tray,” Norma said. “Students are typically ready to work immediately upon finishing the program.” Students interact with doctors and dental staff during the course, allowing for connections to be made as well as to gain an
understanding of what will be expected in the field. The program is very streamlined with an emphasis on in-class hands-on experience to compliment book work. Rather than reading about a process or procedure, students within the program immediately experience it themselves. The school is currently awarding one $1,000 scholarship per class to the student who qualifies through the school’s selection process. “Our graduates have been successful in their fields upon completing training,” said Norma. “Several have continued their education and become dental hygienists and a few have even become dentists.” Become a part of the family at Dental Careers of Tulsa. Give them a call for scholarship forms and course information. DENTAL CAREERS OF TULSA 635 S. Main St. | Sapulpa, OK (918) 224-0680 WWW.DENTALCAREERSOFTULSA.COM
