BROKEN ARROW JANUARY 2019

t’s not usually under the best of circumstances if one needs to visit a collision repair center, and a warm smile at the door can make all the difference on a bad day.

Premier Collision center in Broken Arrow has the brightest smile around waiting just inside. Fay Higinbotham is the first face you see when you walk in, and all your worries can be put at ease, because her warmth and that of everyone in the Premier family will make your collision repair needs stress free and enjoyable. They pride themselves on offering the highest level of service with integrity, quality, and many years of combined experience.

Fay’s husband, Ralph Higinbotham, and partner, Monte Whitaker, have been in business together at Premier Collision Center since 2001.

With a combined experience of over 50 years in the collision repair industry, they currently find incredible success in referrals and repeat business, because of the professional

and courteous service they provide. “We have been thrilled with our customers in Broken Arrow and surrounding areas and are proud that our clients are confident in sending their friends and family to us,” said Fay. Why wouldn’t they?

Everyone at Premier treats their customers like family.

There are two estimators onsite to evaluate and assess repair needs, John Harrell and Jeremy Bollinger. John has been in the industry for 20 years, with 7 years in the Premier family. “We care about our customers and want to make sure their car is done right,” said John. “That’s why so many people refer us.” With better color matches and topquality repair, they also offer a lifetime warranty on work and paint for as long as you own the vehicle. Paint warranties are not often offered by other collision repair shops. There is a sense of community unlike anywhere else at Premier. “Our main thing is customers are our priority #1,” said John.

ER COLLISION CENTER’S

bout our customers and want sure their car is done right.”

Jeremy agrees. Jeremy was born and raised in Broken Arrow and has known the Higinbotham’s for over 40 years.

He has been working with the family since 2005. When asked what separates Premier from other collision repair centers, he reinforced the sentiment, “We treat everybody like family.”

After meeting with John or Jeremy, customers are given a comprehensive list of parts and labor costs to get your vehicle back on the road in excellent condition. They can even provide pick up and delivery service for added convenience.

“You have the right to choose who repairs and restores your vehicle after an accident,” explains Fay. “It’s completely up to you about what company you choose for your collision repairs, not the insurance company.”

Need a second opinion?

Premier will review your estimate even if it is different than theirs, and fully explain all differences.

For work when the paint on the vehicle has not been

compromised, they can offer paintless dent repair. This is convenient for hail damage.

The process enables retention of original paint finish without the need for color match or touch up finish painting.

The sense of community and family at the center extends outside of their business, as they have been long-time members of The Better Business Bureau and Broken Arrow Chamber of Commerce, as well as a Partner in Education in Broken Arrow Public Schools. They have an A+ rating with the BBB. Finding a business in this industry that treats its customers with the friendliness and respect that Premier Collision does is rare and genuine. When it comes to dealing with collision repair, that’s when it’s needed the most.

Here’s what our customers have to say about PermaSeal U.S.A. Preserve Your Investment We wanted to write you to express how satisfied we are with your product, service and the crew.

We built our house 3 years ago including the cedar deck, as soon as we moved in we stained the deck and it looked great.

Unfortunately, it only looked good for about 6 months and we knew we had to do something to protect our investment, we were not too excited about the prospect of having to stain our deck, at least once a year, to maintain it.

Thank God for Permaseal, your team came out, cleaned the deck and permanently sealed the deck with the penetrating sealant. Now it looks just like the day we moved in and we do not have to stain it, unless we want

a different color than the natural wood look. Further, cleaning it is a breeze, no need to power wash it, simply hose it down. We are so happy to know we have protected our investment for at least 25 years and we have just scheduled your team to come out and permanently seal our drive way as well.

We can highly recommend Permaseal to everyone that is looking for a permanent solution, peace of mind.

The whole thing was a very pleasurable experience. From the initial visit, where you thoroughly explained the entire process, with no sales pressure. To the polite, punctual and professional crew that came and did the work.

Thank you again for helping us preserve our investment.

A Med Spa is all about helping you reach your New Year’s goals! With an amazing array of customizable services for complete body and skin care, you can rule 2019 feeling your absolute best!

Melody Hawkins, practice manager, is proud of her team of licensed nurse practitioners and PAs, offering the best in weight loss, anti-aging, and health treatments, as well as overall rejuvenation. BA Med Spa even offers hormone therapy. “Whether you have hormone or medical concerns, weight loss or care issues, we are here to help you,” said Melody. All initial consultations, first visits, are complementary. The Med Spa offers a multitude of programs, all customizable to suit the needs of their patients. Just a handful of their therapies are highlighted below.

Weight Loss Programs

The Med Spa programs include the ever-popular HCG, with updated program enhancements to be healthier and more effective in the long-term. “We’ve tailored our program to a higher calorie count than the older version, at right about 1200 calories a day, which enables about 30 minutes of cardio exercise a day,” said Melody. “This has been proven successful with about a 1lb to 1 ½lb a day in weight loss.”

The innovative new increased calorie diet with exercise helps determine keeping results for the long-term.

Body Sculpting

Once weight loss goals have been reached, BA Med Spa offers Cool Sculpting, one of America’s fastest growing procedures. “Simply because it works!” Melody said. “Every patient gets results.” Cool Sculpting targets specific fat areas, such as love handles, double chin, inner thighs, or any stubborn areas that are a nuisance despite weight loss and exercise. “We can target those areas, and get 25% fat reduction in one treatment,” said Melody. “You will get surgical like results without ever going under a knife, no down time, and no risk of scarring.” Cool Sculpting provides the same results as liposuction without the risk. “It’s everyone’s favorite procedure,” Melody said.

Anti-Aging

“Our staff is comprised of experienced medical cosmetic treatment providers,” said Melody.

All BA Med Spa staff is required to participate in quarterly training to stay up to date and knowledgeable about current and new treatments.

The Med Spa specializes in Botox injections and Dermafillers. “We try to keep our antiaging

treatment prices affordable to the masses, because we want to make sure everyone can afford to feel beautiful,” she said.

Rejuvenation

One of the newest procedures at BA Med Spa is the laser resurfacing treatment for deep and fine lines. Additionally, Vaginal Rejuvenation procedures have been introduced, and have been received well with patients. “It really helps to address issues women don’t think are necessary, so they just suffer in silence,” said Melody. Some symptoms that would validate the procedure are vaginal atrophy, dryness, looseness, or inability to climax during intercourse. The Med Spa has treated patients for these issues with a 100% success rate, and usually a 75% improvement in 3 treatments. Additionally, urinary incontinence can be remedied with the procedure. “50% of women have this problem, especially after childbirth, and that issue can be completely cured after three treatments, with minimal downtime,” Melody said. “When we talk about the symptoms that justify Vaginal Rejuvenation, so many women say that’s me, I’m who you’re talking about. We can fix that really quick and in a hurry.”

Men may also seek consultation about rejuvenation.

On every visit, your vehicle receives a free visual inspection. You also receive a printed report reminding you of maintenance schedules and informing you of anything you should know about your vehicle based upon its time spent on the road. If needed, a treatment plan will be recommended. The report is easy to understand with ratings of Pass, Caution or Fail so you’ll know if additional attention is needed.

The Multi-Point Inspection includes items like tire tread depth, condition of hoses and clamps, brake lining thickness, drive belts, battery terminals and cables, and a windshield inspection for cracks, chips or pitting. A tech’s report will also include items like engine, transmission and cooling system inspections. Tire pressure will be checked and adjusted if needed.

This is a very thorough bumper-tobumper inspection of your vehicle.

If there is a recommendation for further service, the report will include a list of labor and material costs with an explanation to help you understand the reasons for the recommended services. Again, your safety and confidence is the goal

and this report is provided to ensure peace of mind and understanding of your car’s operating state.

You may make an appointment online with the Service Department or give them a call. Once your vehicle is in the system, you choose to receive maintenance reminders by email, regular mail or by phone. After one month, any new or used vehicle you’ve purchased from South Pointe is invited in for a free wash and checkup.

Koger also spoke of a program available to customers who require help paying for their automotive repairs. CFS (Confident Financial Solutions) is available to anyone 18 years or older who has a valid email address and resides in a state where CFS is licensed to do business.

Applicants apply online at www. mycfsapp.com. In minutes they receive a credit decision and Cliff indicates that the approval rate is high.

SU Public TV is changing channel from channel 36 to channel 32. This will occur on February 11, 2019. Why? It’s called “repacking”.

Repacking is mandatory by the FCC and will affect three stations in the Tulsa television market including RSU Public TV. By definition, repacking is the process of moving broadcasters into a smaller and more tightly packed spectrum band in order to free up broadcast spectrum for wireless carriers nation-wide. Resulting in the need to upgrade out dated equipment.

Royal Aills, general manager of RSU Public TV says, “This is really a blessing for us. Our transmitter is at end of life.

With a new transmitter, we will operate for the next 20 years”.

Viewers on cable and satellite should not be affected. Viewers who watch TV over the air with an antenna will need to rescan their TV’s on February 11th at 9am. Aills says, “Viewers who have trouble rescanning their TV’s can go to our website at rsu.tv or call for instruction on who to rescan. We will also have a phone bank set up should anyone want to call.

We will walk them through the rescan”.

That number is 1.800.823.7210.

So how do you rescan your TV’s?

Select “scan” or “autotune” on the TV or converter box control menu to start the scanning process. Instructions are usually available by pressing the “set-up” or “menu” buttons on the remote control.

This move is happening behind the scenes, so the channel number viewers know will not change. No additional equipment purchases is required.

Plan to Rescan on February 11th at 9am!

RSU Public TV has been on the air for 37 years and is the only university-owned public TV station in Oklahoma.

olby Ballou, Fixed Operations Director at South Pointe Chevrolet, has announced that the company’s service department will feature a series of Child Safety Seat events throughout 2019. The quarterly clinics are scheduled for Saturday, February 16, May 18, August 17 and November 16 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Events are held at South Pointe Chevrolet service bay and are conducted by safety experts representing Safe Kids Tulsa. Admission is free and open to anyone with kids who want their child’s safety seat inspected. There will be door prizes including safety seats and more.

Safe Kids Worldwide was founded in 1988 by Martin R. Eichelberger, M.D. and Herta Feely, a public relations professional, at Children’s National Health System in Washington, D.C. With others, they created the National SAFE KIDS Campaign, the only U.S. nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing

BROKEN ARROW JANUARY 2019

unintentional childhood injuries.

Today, Safe Kids works around the world to reduce traffic injuries and more. Since inception, there has been a 60 percent decrease in the unintentional injury rate among children 19 years and younger.

Preventable injuries are the #1 killer of kids in the United States.

Throughout the world, almost one million children die of injuries each year, and almost every one of these tragedies is preventable.

South Pointe and Safe Kids Tulsa contribute to protecting our kids through safety clinics.

“Losing one child is one too many,” says Ballou. “We don’t want any parent to have to endure the loss of a child. Our hope is to raise awareness of improperly installed or ineffective car seats that may be risking the life or injury to a child. At our clinics, parents learn if their child’s safety seat is installed correctly and if it’s the proper style and size to offer full protection at the child’s current age.

We strive to raise safety awareness and, hopefully, influence moms and dads to attend one of our clinics. It’s a simple decision any parent can make, it only takes a few minutes of your time and it could possibly save a child’s life.”

For information on determining the safety seat that’s right for your child, visit www.safercar.gov/ therightseat. This website provides an easy-to-use tool that lets you compare seats to direct you to the

one that’s best for your child. You’ll be asked to provide your child’s age, height and weight prior to being shown seat types that will best protect your child.

The service department includes Colby Ballou, Service Director Wes Adams, six service advisors and 16 master technicians. They are also tire specialists carrying most major brands. “We probably have the largest tire inventory of any Tulsa area Chevy dealer,” added Ballou, “but, if we don’t have the tire you need, we can usually get same-day or next-day delivery.

We also offer a price-match guarantee and up to $200 off your purchase when you order four tires. Basically, you purchase three tires and get the fourth free.”

South Pointe offers the GM BuyPower Card, a credit card that helps you get your next new

car. Card holders are rewarded with Earnings on every purchase they make, redeemable toward the purchase of a new Chevrolet or other GMC vehicle. Get full details of this program at the dealership.

“We’re committed to the safety of you and your family,” assures Ballou.

“Everything we do in our service department is related to keeping your vehicle running smoothly and safely. Come in the next time you need servicing or manufacturer recommended maintenance. And please, accept our invitation to attend one of our quarterly child safety seat clinics. We think you’ll be pleased with the way we treat customers.”

rtsOK’s Art After Hours will host the works of Lawton artist Robert Peterson with an opening reception on January 4th, 5:30 p.m. till 9:00 p.m. at the Museum of Broken Arrow, 400 S. Main St. This event is open and free to the public. Peterson will be available along with several pieces of highly acclaimed original art. His art will continue to be displayed at the museum through February 2nd during regular museum hours.

Presenting sponsor for this event is Premier Consulting Partners.

Franklin’s Toast will be providing drinks and appetizers.

Peterson creates lavishly detailed portraits of celebs, animals, people and other subjects using his own vision to capture the utmost reality.

Some of his art are photorealism and others combine a mix of techniques.

His stunning paintings are more than meets they eye – each stroke of his brush evokes magic and beauty that only his originality possesses.

7 years ago at age 31, Peterson was working at Goodyear and received news from his doctor that he needed a hip replacement. Not such good news for such a young man. The surgery wasn’t without complications.

Married at 19 and father of 3, he wanted something to leave for his family; that’s when he stopped off at the gift shop and spent $13.00 on some paint and canvas.

Before that time he had never painted and knew very little about art other than some sketching he would do as a pastime.

Within six months after his surgery he had created a collection of thirtyfour celebrity paintings of famous New Yorkers and was invited to do his first art show “Faces of New York” in New York City. While there his opportunities soared. He was invited for interviews at ABC, BET, MTV along with other media outlets. At the show, he was affirmed

by RL Sparks, the same person who popularized Andy Warhol.

Sparks called “Best of Show” which happened to be his painting “Mos Def ” who is an actor, musician, and director from Brooklyn. He was also awarded Spotlight Artist of the Year at Art Basel 2017.

This year he was commissioned by the Oklahoma City Thunder organization to paint Russell Westbrook in honor of his 108th triple double.

He is a major supporter of the

These are the last pair of boots I wore e while working a 12 hour shift at a factory doing something that gave me absolutely no peace. The other, it represents something much larger than what you see. It represents inspiration. It inspired an artist over 50 years ago to create a work of art that would explore the relationship between artistic expression and advertissing. Not only did his silkscreen works of art featuring cans of sou up make millions of dollars and allowed him the ability to create e more art, his works have all outlived him. I always tell myself I am one painting away from either one of these two. So on my table, in my studio where I rest my brus ushe us h s, tubes he ub u bes of paint, cleaner and othe er art supplies siits t a pair air of old ai d wor o kb bo oots otts and a dusty can of tomato soup up up.” p..””

arts in his community; and actively contributes to the Lawton – Ft. Sill Art Council. 100% of the money he raises from his prints helps fund the organization. His goal is to provide enough funding to enable them to continue services without struggles.

Today, Peterson’s art is celebrated universally. He credits his strength and creativity to God and his wife.

He enjoys establishing relationships with his collectors. “My art is created in love. Gods work in my hands.”

A Sub-Above

BY ASHLEY WAITKUS

J

ersey Mike’s Subs is known for the incredible, fresh sandwiches offered all around the country.

The stores use only the highest quality ingredients available in the United States. Meats are sliced to order directly in front of you and grilled in store. Subs range in size from the “mini” 5-inch to the large 15-inch, and each order is expertly prepared and wrapped at the authentic East-Coast style deli.

Subs ordered “Mike’s Way” include onions, lettuce, tomatoes, vinegar, oil, and spices, but the combinations you can choose from are endless.

The store has been offering classic and creative subs since 1956 and now has over 1500 stores throughout the county, including the three Tulsa Hills, Broken Arrow, and Bixby stores owned by Bobby Sanders and Troy Redmon.

Offering only the best and freshest food for customers is an exciting part of the job for the team, but it is the family-like atmosphere and culture of giving that is most meaningful. “At Jersey Mike’s, we offer a sub above – one that’s measured in more than inches or seconds ‘til served. We carefully consider every aspect of what we do – every slice, every sandwich, every store – we provide our customers with sustenance and substance too” according to the company website. For Bobby, this means seeing his customers as one big extended family. “We love getting to know our customers and coming in to work every day to talk to our friends and family. Customers and employees become friends here. We want to know about little Suzie’s recital and Tommy’s T-Ball game,” Bobby shares. His enthusiasm is contagious, and the friendship 34

and camaraderie between staff and customers are evident. Customers rave about the “sub-above” customer service. One repeat guest states “My Tulsa Hills store treats my family like family.” It is reviews like this that underscore the heart of the business. Bobby shares “we have a laid-back atmosphere, we care about people, and our customers love it. It’s why we have huge repeat customers. It’s what we are founded on.” The family-focused environment goes beyond knowing your favorite sandwich and sharing stories about piano recitals. Bobby and Troy’s shops, along with each of the other franchises, have a sincere dedication to the communities in which it operates. Family takes care of family, and for each of the shops, the community in which it serves is considered family. Each March, the old-fashioned store hosts what is known as the “Month of Giving.” Throughout the month, the stores invite you to come in for more than a made to order, highquality sub. They invite you to come in and help give back to the community. Throughout the entire month, each store accepts donations from customers, staff, and visitors to give to an area non-profit. The last Wednesday of March, 100%

BROKEN ARROW JANUARY 2019

of sales go directly to charity. “We don’t donate 100% of profits; we donate 100% of sales” Bobby shares.

Every penny spent at the shops will go directly to a local organization on that day. Over the last several years, they average between $12,000 and $15,000 in giving for the day. Nation-wide, the company has raised over $28 million since 2010 alone through it’s “Month of Giving” program. The generosity continues year round, but by having a particular emphasis on the month of March, Bobby and Troy can include their community in the process by focusing on a specific charity and collecting donations throughout the month. Everyone needs a good lunch, and with the three convenient locations, everyone has an opportunity to stop by, enjoy a great sub, make new friends, and contribute to taking care of our Tulsa family.

“At Jersey Mike’s, we think you should give for one reason and one reason only: to give. Our culture of giving at Jersey Mike’s is as much a part of our heritage as oil and vinegar. We believe that making a great sub sandwich and making a difference can be one in the same.”

ACTIVE SUPPORT AND ART SHOW HONORING VETERANS

BY MACY GOODNIGHT

ost people who drive past The Coffee Bunker might think it is a trendy coffee bar. Some have even ventured in to ask if they can purchase a cup of coffee. It’s not what you might think.

Those who are familiar with the place know that it is a haven and refuge for veterans, and its crucial role needs to be recognized.

The mission of the Coffee Bunker is to meet veterans “where they are,” and help with the transition to family and community life. They are Tulsa’s only peer-run drop-in center, and they provide a familyfriendly, alcohol-free and drug-free environment. The 3500 square foot facility is set up for veterans and their families to get together, use a computer, access wi-fi, enjoy games and group activities, watch TV or movies, or just hang out. Coffee and snacks are also available in a warm and inviting lounge where veterans can visit and find support.

Barbara Scruggs, Ph.D., RN, is the Therapeutic Activities coordinator for the center and has experienced loss of her own, making her acutely more aware of the needs that veterans face. “What we have here at the Coffee Bunker Ba arrb bar ara a Sc S rugg gs, PhD, hD, hD is a different picture than RN RN, N, Ther erap er a eu ap uti ticc Accti t vi viti ties ti es what you find anywhere else,” Coo Co ordiinatto or, r, and Sco ottt said Barbara. “Our place is Blac Blac ack kbur u n, Ope pera ra atiio on ns Ma Man nage age ger. a one-of-a-kind place and it’s essential.” In addition to the peer support offered at the Coffee Bunker founder, Mary Ligon, lost her son, Cpl.

In addition to counseling, legal and peer support, the center advocates can assist with education and work programs. “We have really great programs and we try to connect veterans with resources in the community that are appropriate for them,” Barbara said.

February 1-28, The Coffee Bunker will be hosting a Veteran’s Art Show at The Hive, 115 South 1st Street, in Jenks. Any and all veterans who might be interested in displaying, and possibly selling their artwork are encouraged to register.

Deadline for registration is January 15th. Entrance fee is $15/artist.

Registration is available online at www.coffeebunker.org/veterans-artshow, or call and speak with Barbara at (918) 637-3878. Volunteer opportunities are encouraged not only for the event but also anytime at the center.

If you are a veteran and would like more information on programs and assistance, or if you just need someone to talk to, stop in and visit with the wonderful people at The Coffee Bunker. It’s there for you.
