Military History Trivia Night Challenge!

BY MACY GOODNIGHT

O

n any given day at the Broken Arrow Military History Center, during operating hours, there will invariably be one or more veterans hanging out in the lobby, even from WWII, visiting with each other and telling some of the most amazing stories most people have probably ever heard.

To share this camaraderie with the community, and also raise funds for the museum and its programs, the Center will host their fourth annual Military History Trivia Night, at Battle Creek Event Center July 19, with food at 5 p.m. and trivia at 6 p.m. This event is not only educational but unbelievably inspiring.

Sponsorships for tables are available for $200, and individual tickets are only $25.

Guests can purchase tickets in advance at the Military History Center, located at 112 N. Main St. in Broken Arrow. Table sponsorships are invaluable, as noted by the museum’s president of the board, Tom Mancino, BG U.S. Army (RET).

“If we get enough people to sponsor tables, then it’s possible we can let some veterans play for free,” said Tom. The event will provide a challenging night of military and history trivia, with food, door prizes and best of all, fellowship.

There will be prizes for winners, but Tom says, “It’s not much; winners will

receive a small trophy.” Many competitors believe the most important takeaway from Above: Military History Center President of the Board, Tom Mancino, BG U.S. Army (RET) a Trivia Night win is the bragging rights. “We will be Tom served 39 years in the Guard.

TO FEEL LOVELY

BY MACY GOODNIGHT

he Christmas season is all about giving, and July at BA Med Spa is no exception!

Christmas in July is a spectacular sales event that centers around the gift of deeply discounted services offered at the Spa. BA Med Spa, located in Broken Arrow, at 510 N. Elm Pl., has been helping their clients feel their best since 2009. Their ninth annual sales event during the month of July is a huge gift to their current and prospective clients, and a chance for

many to save a great deal of money on the services they provide.

“It’s the best chance to save and get the aesthetic treatments you want, and feel good about yourself,” said Owner, Malissa Spacek. “It’s truly a giving event.”

Each day, beginning July 1, a new special will launch for 12 days. The specials will consist of their most popular services, with possible discounts on treatments such as BellaFill, EmSculpt and much more.

“Just like surprises at Christmas, each

day will be a new surprise special,” said office manager, Sam Spacek. “In years past, many customers have found that it is a good time to buy multiple services at once, as the pricing is so much more affordable during this special time.” Services may also be pre-purchased during the sales event and used at a later date.

Pricing for each of the 12 days specials will be good for the entire month of July. The specials will be announced on BA Med Spa social media, on Facebook @BAMEDSPA, and their website at www.baweightspa.com.

“This sales event is our gift to our community and our customers to help them achieve their goals and help maintain and build their confidence,” Malissa said.

BA Med Spa has always been in the business of helping people. Their mission is “to improve the lives of the patients we serve.” Self-esteem and confidence are at the root of their foundation, allowing their clients to easily achieve their goals, with services for weight loss and anti-aging. “So many of us work, and confidence is crucial in a competitive market,” said Malissa. “We also have many people who come in after a traumatic event, who just want to feel better about themselves, and not look so tired or rundown.” With so many grateful clients, it is no wonder

that they have a firm standing A+ rating with the BBB, with one customer review stating, “I am writing to tell them how much they helped my self-esteem and my appearance. I highly recommend them to anybody wanting the best results for your money.”

“It feels so good to know that we are helping people and that we are appreciated,” said Malissa. “It’s good for us to proactively care for ourselves, and make sure we are working to maintain our self-esteem.”

As the Christmas in July event is one of their busiest times of the year, it is recommended to be persistent if unable to reach someone on the phone when you call, and leave a message or email, which will receive a rapid response. As always, initial consultations for these treatments are

complementary. “Just come in and talk to us!” said Sam. “It’s the best way for us to help you find the best treatments for you.”

Jones, who began in 1979 as an installer for another company, went to work for Four Seasons Sunrooms in 1989, buying the business in 1992, and although he’s the company president, he prides himself in taking a very “hands-on” approach to each project.

“I’m not just the owner; I’m the project manager. I personally go out to our project sites, look at the space, and talk with the homeowner, so that I know at the very beginning what would work best for the homeowner,” he said. “There isn’t a project we’ve done since I bought the company that I haven’t had a hand in, and we’ve done projects on homes from $3,000 to $300,000, so we take on a wide range of jobs.”

Windows and doors, patio covers and screen rooms, James Hardie Siding, and more are handled through the company as well, and the patented Conservaglass Select glass used in windows and other projects are also of superior quality.

“We (Four Seasons Sunrooms) are the only company that offers Conservaglass Select,” Jones said.

“This high-performance glass is

Even with all the superior products and services available, Jones said he’s most impressed with the quality of his staff.

“I know it’s probably been said by others, but we really do have the very best people working for us – thorough professionals from start to finish,” he said, “and definitely the nicest people you’ll ever meet.”

Annual ice cream festival

n u F e h T p U s p o o c S in Broken Arrow

BY TOM FINK

T

here are many ways to tell someone ‘Thank you.’ Thank you can be said with a card, with flowers or with a gift, but this summer, one of Broken Arrow’s core businesses is saying thank you in the sweetest way possible: with ice cream.

Blue Bell Ice Cream, in partnership with the Broken Arrow Chamber of Commerce, will be hosting the Taste of Summer Ice Cream Festival as a means by which the local creamery offers its thanks to its host community through a day of family-friendly fun and ice cream.

“This is Blue Bell’s giveback event – one in which, they give back to the Broken Arrow community,” said Jessica Mugg, events and communications director, Broken Arrow Chamber. “In the past, Blue Bell had hosted the Taste of Summer event out at their factory, but over time, with the number of people coming in and the amount of traffic, the event eventually outgrew the plant.

“Following this, Blue Bell representatives approached the Chamber to inquire what could be done to help retain the annual event, as it was growing so big – in previous years, there have been more than 12,000

people in attendance – that it was in danger of going away – no one wanted that,” she continued. “The event proved so successful, it outgrew its space, so we were happy to partner with Blue Bell and moved the event to Central Park on Main Street to retain this popular summer celebration.”

Slated for July 20 – not coincidentally during National Ice Cream Month – the Taste of Summer Ice Cream Festival will bring a day of fun, activities, and live entertainment to downtown Broken Arrow, along with ice cream – and plenty of it.

“Blue Bell will be providing all-youcan-eat ice cream for attendees, and they always bring out a huge variety of flavors – last year, we had more than 20 different flavors of ice cream available,” Mugg said. “As in the past, there will be a kid’s zone, with inflatables, games, and arts and crafts for the children, as well as a ‘touch a truck’ area to give the kids the chance to get up close and see some bigger pieces of equipment.”

For an entry fee of $5, everything is free, except for items purchased from food and marketplace vendors, and the outing allows the public to meet the men and women responsible for Blue Bell Ice Cream.

Bottom: Broken Arrow Chamber events and communications director Jessica Mugg.

“It’s a lot of fun - it’s amazing to see all the people who come out to this event and to see the Blue Bell volunteers interact with their customers one-toone,” she said. “Closer to the event date, we’ll be revealing the flavors to be featured this year.”

According to Blue Bell’s website, the company offers 66 different flavors of ice cream, 20 of which are offered yearround, with the additional two to three dozen being offered seasonally.

Aside from being a uniquely ice cream-centric event, the Taste of Summer is remarkable in that it’s “a truly family event,” according to Mugg.

“This is one of those events at which the entire family can come out, enjoy as much ice cream as they want, and enjoy the day together,” she said.

“You know how certain events target certain age groups or members of the population? This is an event that’s held specifically for entire families.

I kind of think of it as our familyfriendly block party – everyone gets together, has a great time, and enjoys ice cream. It’s such a fun event.”

Blue Bell’s Taste of Summer Ice Cream Festival powered by Oneta Power will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, July 20, at Central Park, 1500 South Main Street in Broken Arrow.

Paid event parking will be available adjacent to the festival site, with parking proceeds going to benefit the Broken Arrow Band.

Top: We all scream for ice cream, and at the Taste of Summer event, for a $5 entry cost, attendees can enjoy unlimited ice cream. Bottom: A kid’s zone will be set up with activities, crafts, and more for the youngest visitors to this summer’s Taste of Summer event in Broken Arrow.

The Many Benefits of a Medically Supervised Sugar Detox You may be surprised to learn that sugar is the root of all evil when it comes to your health and wellbeing, especially when being overweight is also a concern. According to medical experts, sugar is at the heart of the American obesity epidemic and is the underlying cause of numerous chronic illnesses, including heart disease, cancer, and even depression.

Here at Grassroots Healthcare in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Dr. Melita Tate takes a holistic approach to health, wellness, and weight loss. She helps people of all ages learn how to make better nutritional choices that often lead to life-changing health benefits.

From an early age, most Americans start eating typical breakfast, lunch, and dinner foods, not even thinking about their sugar content. What’s worse, even when you believe you and your family are eating healthy foods, you could be unknowingly consuming sugar from morning ‘til night and not even realize it.

If you want to lose weight, keep it off, and have healthier skin and more energy, a medically supervised sugar detox may be an ideal way to kick off your weight-loss program. A sugar detox program has so many benefits for both your body and mind.

Restricting your intake of added sugars by eliminating unhealthy foods from your diet can: • • • • • • • • • •

Improve your mood Give you more energy Eliminate the mid-afternoon slump or “crash” Help you shed unwanted pounds, especially around your waistline Reduce inflammation Reduce muscular aches and pains Reduce fatigue Improve your complexion and reduce breakouts Curb your sugar addiction long term Improve metabolic health

Additionally, when you detox your system from sugar, it often makes fruits and vegetables taste sweet enough to satisfy your sugar cravings. This is an added benefit — as your body and palate adjust to a new level of sweet flavors — that helps you continue to keep an excessive amount of sugar out of your diet in the long run.

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

Eric is an active member with the Tulsa Rock and Mineral Society and is the Curator at the DW Correll Museum in Catoosa. The museum mostly houses the eclectic personal collection of DW Correll and contains countless minerals, gemstones, stones, and fossils from around the world. A collection of ice age bones that were discovered in Oklahoma along the Arkansas River is an exceptional part of the incredible collection. The museum was founded in 1971 by DW Correll.

“He was a bit of a Renaissance man,” said Eric. “His collection here at the museum is very diverse.”

The museum was left to The City of Catoosa upon Correll’s death in 1999.

The museum is an important place for the Tulsa Rock and Mineral Society.

“The show is a big part of what we do,” said Eric. “Coming to the museum or going to the show could be the beginning of a journey. It can all encourage people to learn more.”

Summer Grilling IT’S NOT JUST BURGERS AND HOTDOGS

BY SHANNON SMITH

I

’m that person that fires up the grill every month of the year. I’ve been known to wear a ski mask to keep warm over the grill during a snowstorm. Summer is my favorite time to grill because there are so many freshly grown vegetables to throw over the coals, bringing out the smoky flavors and delicious char.

Grilling isn’t just for burgers and hotdogs. Gather your favorite veggies and drizzle with some olive oil, salt and pepper and let the sizzle begin. You can get creative by adding flavorful dry rubs, freshly chopped herbs or seasoned salt. You can even grill fresh fruit, like peaches and plums by glazing them with oil and searing until you have nice grill marks. Finish fruit with a drizzle of maple syrup or honey, and serve it as dessert with ice cream. I like to chop grilled fruit and add red onions

VALUES

and jalapeño for a salsa to serve with grilled meat. This summer, I grilled strawberries and served them with whipped cream and balsamic vinegar for a really refreshing dessert that’s not too sweet.

When it comes to grilling, I prefer charcoal or wood because I like the smokiness that adds a dimension of flavor. However, the gas-fired grill can certainly be more convenient.

You can still get that smoky flavor with a gas grill if you soak a piece of oak or fruit wood in water for at least 30 minutes, then partially wrap it in foil and place it on the grate.

Whether I’m grilling meat or vegetables, I don’t use a lot of marinades or dry rubs since I prefer to make simple sauces for the finished dish. One of my favorite sauces is pesto, made from fresh herbs from my garden. I also heat maple syrup until

BROKEN ARROW JULY 2019 WWW.VALUENEWS.COM

it becomes thick and sticky, and add a knob of butter to make a tasty glaze for pork, salmon or chicken. Use your favorite Mexican salsa to top grilled veggies or any smoky meat.

There are so many ways to finish your grilled masterpiece, but don’t feel obligated to get saucy. Fire has its own way of making food taste spectacular without the addition of anything (except salt, of course).

Get creative this summer by firing up the grill, and show your family and friends that you can serve up more than burgers and hotdogs. If you’re looking for some interesting sauces, here are two of my favorite recipes.

Grilled Cod with Salsa Verde

(Serves 4)

There are a lot of variations for salsa verde, and this is one of my favorites. In the summer when I have an abundance of fresh mint I add it to the mix.

If you’re in a hurry you can make the salsa in a food processor, but just pulse it so it doesn’t become smooth.

Of course, you can substitute the cod for fish that is in season. Serve this with rice or potatoes, and some roasted cherry tomatoes, and you’ve got a beautiful plate of colorful goodness!

• • • • • • • • • • •

1/2 cup vegetable oil, for frying 1 shallot, minced 1 garlic clove, minced Juice of one lime 1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped 1 stalk celery, minced (including leaves) 1 small tomatillo, minced 1 Tbsp. capers, minced Salt and pepper Four cod fillets, about 1” thick

Yellow Pepper Pesto This is absolutely my favorite sauce recipe!

The roasted yellow peppers add a sweetness that blends perfectly with the cilantro and Parmesan. You can spoon this sauce on eggs, grilled meats or vegetables, or my favorite…..poured over corn chips and eaten like chips and salsa!

• • • • • • • •

2 large yellow bell peppers, grilled, peeled, seeded and chopped 1 clove garlic, chopped 2 tablespoons pine nuts 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1 tsp. salt 1 tsp. freshly ground pepper

Place peppers, garlic, pine nuts, cilantro and cheese in a food processor and process until combined. With the motor running, add the oil and process until emulsified and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

In a bowl, whisk together the shallot, garlic, parsley, cilantro, celery, tomatillo, capers, salt and pepper (to taste).

Brush the cod fillets with olive oil and add salt and pepper to both sides. Sear over a hot grill, about 4 minutes on each side, until fish is firm and flaky in the center.

(Alternatively, you can cook the cod in the broiler of your oven by placing cod on a broiler pan set 6” under the heating element, and cooking about 4 minutes on one side. Turn fillets and cook another 4 minutes until done).

Cooking time depends on the thickness of your fish. If they are thicker than 1” you might cook longer.

Place fish on platter and top with salsa verde.
