ummer in Broken Arrow’s Rose District is even cooler this year with the 16th annual Wine, Eats and Easels (WEE) event, supporting Broken Arrow Neighbors, taking place on the solstice, June 21, 2019. The best party of the year will again be hosted at the Rose District Pavilion and The Museum Broken Arrow from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m.

Guests will enjoy entertainment, art, food and beverage selections from popular area restaurants, featured local artists, and much more in the beautiful town center. Home-grown celebrity and sax virtuoso, Grady Nichols will perform, and guests will have the opportunity to enjoy the expanded addition of a Beer Garden serving craft beers. Broken Arrow Brewery, as well as several more local craft beer brands, will be available. Other activities include the ever-popular butt sketch artist, a photo booth and a

wine pull. There is something for everyone! Growing in popularity, Wine, Eats, and Easels was named Rose District Fan Favorite in 2016.

This extraordinary event is one of the largest fundraisers supporting Broken Arrow Neighbors, a nonprofit organization providing “assistance with dignity” to neighbors in need.

Sponsorships are available, with levels beginning at $250. Sponsors will be invited to a pre-event party under a dedicated VIP tent starting an hour before general admission and will be treated to champagne and extras to celebrate their commitment to the cause.

Sponsorships are available now by contacting kgoddard@baneighbors. org. Sponsorship opportunities are listed on the BA Neighbors website at www.baneighbors.org/ newscurrent-events/wee/.

Broken Arrow Neighbors Executive Director, Kim Goddard, recognizes WEE as one of the most

BROKEN ARROW JUNE 2019 WWW.VALUENEWS.COM

important fundraising events for the organization. “I love this event for a couple of reasons,” she said.

“It benefits BA Neighbors, and in turn those individuals we are serving. It is also a great event for the City of Broken Arrow, in that it truly showcases the Rose District Pavilion and Main Street, as well as the Museum.” All proceeds from WEE directly benefit the organization as a whole, allowing more flexibility for items they need to provide for those they serve, whether for the food pantry or the dental and vision clinics.

BA Neighbors is currently in the process of completing a new standalone 3500 square foot warehouse.

“This is a perfect time for a successful fundraiser,” said Kim. Broken Arrow Neighbor’s facility has experienced incredible growth in the past few years to accommodate the demand in our area. The community garden was recently enhanced and provides

asels

fresh fruit and vegetables to distribute. “We roll quite a bit of the produce from the garden directly into the pantry,” Kim said.

The garden is tended entirely by volunteers. “We are so blessed in so many ways at Broken Arrow Neighbors, because so many people believe in our mission and are eager to help.”

ummer travel can be spectacular on the open road, and smart travelers always know to ensure the mode of transportation is reliable and safe before venturing out. If you’re making plans to load up the family for a destination drive, make sure to get your vehicle to South Pointe Chevrolet Service for a free 32-point inspection for safety first.

Breaking down on the side of the road is never something anyone plans on, and the best defensive is preventative service. The service team at South Pointe maintains a solid reputation for honest, highestquality customer service. Service director, Alan Mclaughlin, and his team strive to provide the most outstanding and exceptional auto support because they know that there

are many choices for dealerships offering service. “We do all the extra things we do so our customers want to come back to us,” said Alan.

“We are always grateful when our customers choose us.” Their free 32-point inspection once a year on a vehicle can be the best deterrent to more trouble on down the road.

A summer inspection before travel is vitally necessary to ensure the safety of your family while traveling. Extreme temperature changes with seasonal shifts can wreak havoc on the internal and external workings of a car or truck.

The South Pointe inspection will include checking tires, wipers, windshield, battery, hoses, and more for wear

that could pose a hazard, or could potentially be more damaging and expensive to fix later on. Annual inspections on vehicles are a responsible part of ownership, and as there is no charge at South Pointe, why wouldn’t it be one of the first things on your list of travel preparations? “It’s just smart to make sure it’s done, to let you know if you have anything to be concerned about for you and your family’s safety,” Alan said.

“We really care about safety, and our greatest goal is to make sure our customers are 100% satisfied.”

The highly trained technicians in the service center are always upto-date on the latest technology to ensure that inspections are thorough and comprehensive. Inspections rarely last longer than 30 minutes, and no appointment is necessary. As with all services, hospitality is toprate, with comfort and transparency high on their list of qualities.

Refreshments are available while you

wait, and for larger scope services that take more time, loaner cars and a shuttle service are available. “We really take care of your car,” said Alan. “We try to wash each car every time you come in for service and make sure we put down floor mats.”

Comfort is key with a super clean facility and friendly staff, including warm and smiling greeters to ensure customers are cared for with their first step on the lot. “We will even walk you to your car when you pick it up to make sure you’re good to go, and if you have any questions,” Alan said. “We really care about safety, and our greatest goal is to make sure our customers are 100% satisfied.

We want our customers to feel like family because that’s how we would want to be treated.”

The Castle is air-conditioned, with accessible restrooms, paved parking, and knowledgeable and friendly salespeople to assist you. The annual fireworks sale lasts from June 15 through July 6, with special discount pricing throughout the showroom.

Family founded, locally operated and community-oriented – Castle Fireworks are red, white and blue from the foundation up. We are proud to provide 150+ employment opportunities to the youth of Green Country during their summer breaks.

Throughout their time with the castle, team members are trained in Customer Service, registers, and

educated about the products we carry.

Purchasing fireworks from the Castle is just as much about family and community as it is about your Fourth Celebrations!

The Castle inspects fireworks through the American Fireworks Standards Laboratory before they leave China to assure your safety.

All fireworks are inspected again by the Consumer Product Safety Commission once they get to the USA. All fireworks are guaranteed to light.

The Castle of Muskogee has fireworks to please anyone, with prices for every budget.

DUN-RITE DOES ROOFING RIGHT

BY TOM FINK

S

ince 1992, Dun-Rite Roofing has served customers all across northeast Oklahoma with quality service, competitive pricing, and a strict adherence to the Golden Rule.

Dun-Rite president and owner Jim Murr describes his business philosophy as being simple as it is sincere in that he treats his customers in the same way he would like to be treated.

“One of the biggest pet peeves I have is a high-pressure salesman,” Murr said. “Your work is very important to us, but once you receive your free estimate/proposal, we will not make any follow-up phone calls unless you request them.”

Additionally, Dun-Rite does not conduct door-to-door solicitations following area weather incidents.

22 |

VALUES

Rather, Murr said that potential customers will reach out to DunRite when they need something, and he and his company vows only to give them what they need for their specific situation, rather than inflating services or material costs for a profit.

According to Murr “serial findings of roof damage by out-of-state or flyby-night companies not only hurt the consumers but can even raise their insurance premiums after the filing of an unnecessary claim.

It is this type of integrity that has earned Dun-Rite an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, and it’s also the reason why so many realtors prefer to work with Dun-Rite rather than other roofing

BROKEN ARROW JUNE 2019 WWW.VALUENEWS.COM

companies. Dun-Rite provides an honest assessment of work that needs to be done, and at no charge.

Dun-Rite does not require any upfront deposits to begin work on a roof, but rather, the invoices may be paid at the time of closing.

Dun-Rite is also a go-to company with builders, so much so that one builder even relocated to southwestern Oklahoma, and, after trying out other roofers in the area, realized that if he wanted jobs done right, he needed to continue working with Dun-Rite.

Repeat customers greatly make up much of Dun-Rite’s regular business, with first-timers returning for future projects, as well as referring Dun-Rite to their

family, friends and associates through word-of-mouth.

In recent years, Dun-Rite Roofing moved operations to a beautiful, expanded showroom located just off highway 20 in Owasso. They offer a large variety of designer shingles from several major brands as well as different colors and styles from which to choose. Customers are welcome to drop by and view the selections and may check out a sample book for themselves, or ask Dun-Rite to deliver sample books to a customer’s site of choice. Free estimates for any job may be scheduled in person at the showroom, by calling the office, or online at www.dunriteroofing.com. The homeowner does need not be present at the time of the inspection. Instead, Dun-Rite will prepare and forward the estimate following the on-site visit.

Further, Dun-Rite has long enjoyed positive and loyal relationships with its employees.

With several crews available for jobs, Dun-Rite is second-to-none when it comes to quality and efficiency. Extra precautions are taken in preserving the site during construction, such as landscaping and surrounding areas, and they are always careful to clean up following completion of the job.

However, Dun-Rite does more than just care for the customers in a community. Giving back to the community is an equally important part of what they do.

Dun-Rite is an active member of the Chamber of Commerce, a member of the Tulsa HBA and proud supporter of the local schools and other community organizations and events.

Communities served by Dun-Rite Roofing include Tulsa, Afton, Avant, Barnsdall, Bartlesville, Beggs, Bixby, Bristow, Broken Arrow, Catoosa, Chelsea, Chouteau, Claremore, Cleveland, Collinsville, Coweta, Disney, Glenpool, Fairland, Jay, Jenks, Kellyville, Kiefer, Langley, Leonard, Locust Grove, Mounds, Muskogee, Nowata, Okmulgee, Oologah, Pryor, Ramona, Salina, Sapulpa, Sand Springs, Skiatook, Turley, Okay, Owasso, Wagoner and more.

o assume that Krista Keesling and Jill Pratt are running “just another pet sitting service” would to bark up the wrong tree.

For Keesling and Pratt, dogs aren’t just their pastime; dogs are their passion.

“At Pet Sitting Services of Tulsa, the dogs come first – always,” Keesling said.

As to how Keesling and Pratt first got into business together, it’s hardly a shaggy dog story.

“I moved to Tulsa from California about five years ago, and four days after moving here, I met Jill at a networking group,” recalled Keesling. “She was the first person I ever met (in Tulsa), and we bonded over dogs. She literally looked at me and said, ‘You. Me. Lunch. Dogs.’ -there was just an instant connection between us, and she’s been the greatest friend to me ever since.”

Although both women were already working at the time, they bonded through their mutual love of dogs, and it was this that led to them going into business together.

“When I was in California, I had been involved in rescuing (dogs) for 20 years, but I never really did pet sitting. When my neighbors were out of town, I might look after their dogs, but that was the extent of my pet sitting experience,” she said, “but just a few days after I moved here (to Oklahoma), I got a phone call from someone who’d heard about me and knew that I did rescue.

From there, I started getting phone calls from people who’d heard about me and thought I might do pet sitting – even though I’d never really done that, I got started (pet sitting), and it just blossomed.”

Soon, word-of-mouth got out, and Keesling was inundated with the number of calls she was getting, requesting her to pet sit.

“Eventually, I went to Jill and said ‘I think someone’s trying to tell me something,’ so May 1, 2019, the duo founded Pet Sitting Services of Tulsa.

“We’re the ‘velvet glove’ of pet sitting services,” Keesling said. “We don’t do boarding but rather, one of our staff is sent to pet sit at the client’s house, which is more

comfortable for the animal – to be in their own environment instead of being kept in a kennel or somewhere unfamiliar while their owners are away.”

All pet sitters employed by Keesling and Pratt are interviewed extensively before being hired, to ensure they’re the “right fit” for the company.

“We don’t hire people who are just here because they want to make money – we only hire people that we hand-pick personally, people who love dogs the way we do, people who are comfortable around dogs, people who have the right disposition to interact with the animals – it’s better for the employees and for the dogs they sit,” Pratt said. “Whenever we get a client, we’ll dispatch potential sitters to the dog owner’s home for a ‘meet and greet’ between the dog and sitter to make sure it’s a good fit for both.”

But even more than the employees, Pratt said that it’s Keesling herself that separates their company from the rest of the pack.

“You’re not going to find anyone who cares more about the animals than Krista – her experience, her heart, her commitment to the animals – I’ve honestly never met anyone who has such a passion for caring for dogs the way she has,” Pratt said. “This isn’t to say that other people don’t, but she (Krista) has a connection with dogs that’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen – dogs that normally bite will get along with her – dogs take to her in a way I’ve never seen happen with anyone else.”

Pratt and Keesling accept clients

across Tulsa and the Tulsa metro areas and are excited to be “getting the word out” to others.

“We’ve been in business for about a month, and things are slowly picking up – the clients we’ve had just love us and what we do,” Pratt said. “We’ve gotten very positive testimonials, which we certainly appreciate.”

re you looking for a way to eat much healthier and really enjoy your food?

Owners Jason and Trena McGill and family founded “ah-Sigh-e” located at 123rd and Memorial in Bixby in 2018.

Their family hails from Florida where they fell in love with açai berry bowls 14 years ago. Jason says that they did not find any store like ah-Sigh-e in Tulsa or surrounding areas, and it was their dream to open a store and show the public just how scrumptious and healthy the açai bowls and smoothies can be.

The açai bowls and smoothies are refined sugar-free, dairy-free, soyfree, with “no hidden sugars,” and no added salt or preservatives. They pride themselves in utilizing local vendors for many of their fruits and other super-foods like locally grown granola and local honey.

“Your taste buds would enjoy the ice cream-like taste,” they said. The açai bowl is like a thick smoothie topped with your favorite healthy toppings. They are proud of their “guilt-free” motto for a tasty, sweet treat that will leave you feeling satiated.

BROKEN ARROW JUNE 2019 WWW.VALUENEWS.COM

There are gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian options as well.

The açai berry is known as a “superfood” that is a lowcarbohydrate, high-antioxidant fruit that contains fiber and protein. It is an inch-long, red to purple fruit that comes from the açai palm tree native to both Central and South America. The açai berry is richer in antioxidants than other berries. It becomes the center of the açai bowls and the frozen smoothies. They use the açai pulp, not powder. They ensure that “everything is fresh.”

A popular menu item is the “Red, White & Blue” açai bowl, made with succulent strawberries, bananas and blueberries, layered on top of frozen açai berry smoothie, with crunchy granola at the bottom, flaxseed, and hemp seed and sweet honey drizzled on top. “I’ve never tasted anything like it. It was refreshing; jump started my taste buds, a great semi-sweet snack that turned into a meal for me,” a first-time customer said.

Jason believes that there are no boundaries when it comes to exploring the açai bowls and smoothies. “If you try it, you

will keep coming back. They are that good.” He would like to see people eating a healthy product as opposed to substituting other foods for healthy ones. He believes that everyone should at least take a taste and discover for themselves the “richness in healthy eating.”

Jason says the most rewarding aspect of running the business is providing a healthy food product to those who are health conscious and those who are not, that want to try something new at an affordable price. The bowls and smoothies range from $6-$10, some toppings are a little extra.

“The kids even like it,” says Trena. The bowls and smoothies are “not priced for the rich but for all who want to get a good feeling about eating something so scrumptious and yet so healthy,” says Jason. The kids are just as excited about the business as their parents, and it would not be uncommon for them to have a bowl

or smoothie every day.

The “fruit-fresh” atmosphere brings the store to life with so many colorful fruits and nuts. The employees also yield a sense of happiness and smiles when serving this delicious snack. Christian music in the background promotes a family-friendly environment, and there are several displays to view while eating. A local artist’s work is showcased monthly.

Hannah is the “berry special” employee of the month and has been working steadily to provide quality customer service with a delightful demeanor and youthful, happy spirit. Jason states that the business has been growing as word-of-mouth recommendations spread from satisfied

customers about their popular menu items. The store is open Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m.6:30 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m.-4 p.m.

rom fad diet trends to celebrity endorsed weight loss programs, there is an abundance of ways to approach developing the right health and fitness plan. However, everyone is different and the key to success is understanding the facts and science behind each process to fit your unique goals and lifestyle. In the 21st century, supplements have become a staple in the fitness and bodybuilding community, but if you don’t understand effective dosing and what ingredient profiles to look for, you may end up with the wrong product. After a life spent working in the supplement industry and competing in elite athletic programs, I’ve made it my mission to educate consumers on the most effective products available to improve their lifestyle.

Protein powder is the most popular supplement on the market, which provides a clean and simple way to meet the recommended daily amount of protein intake when your food intake is insufficient. Protein is the building block of all muscles and serves as a source of energy that is essential to maintain and gain muscle mass, while also providing all essential amino acids as well as regulating enzyme and hormone function.

Pre-workout, a general term for a product taken before exercise to optimize physical output, has recently gained popularity. The two main categories are stimulant and non-stimulant, which refers to whether or not the central nervous system is ramped, causing an energy and metabolism boost. Other

performance-boosting ingredients may include nootropics, amino acids, vasodilators, and cell volumizers to name a few. Nootropics enhance focus, memory and concentration. Amino acids are organic compounds that are the building blocks of proteins.

Vasodilators increase nitric oxide levels in the blood, improving blood oxygen levels and blood flow. Cell volumizers such as creatine increase ATP function, maximizing muscle energy production and cellular hydration to increase workload output. No two pre-workouts are the same, so research what ingredients are most important, and try a variety of ingredient profiles to get a feel for how your body responds.

Other categories of performanceenhancing supplements include recovery and hydration, fat burning, sleep aid and vitality. A post-workout hydration product prevents muscle catabolism by restoring the nutrients in the body that are used up during physical exertion, including ATP, glucose, electrolytes, amino acids and more. Fat burners increase thermogenesis to boost metabolism and suppress appetite aiding in weight loss. Sleep aids not only help you fall asleep faster but allow you to sleep deeper and wake up feeling more refreshed and energized, leading to a better mood, reduced anxiety and decreased inflammation. Vitality products are designed to naturally improve bodily functions such as energy levels and libido, and some include additional ingredients with advantages such as supporting organ health, increasing lean muscle mass, and deliver antioxidant and antiinflammatory effects.

Knowing clinical effective dosing amounts at which ingredients have been scientifically proven to provide the intended results is the most important aspect of choosing between different supplement options. Just because an ingredient is listed does not mean it is at a high enough amount to be effective. There are also key ingredients to look for that

synergistically buffer the effectiveness of the primary ingredients. For example, Kre-Alkalyn is a buffered form of creatine that does not break down in water, making it 118.2% more effective against the commonly used creatine monohydrate. Product quality is also heavily affected by the standards of the manufacturing facility and source of raw ingredients. Full label disclosure means the amount of everything in the product is listed, allowing you to check for specific ingredients and effective dosing, as opposed to proprietary blends, which group ingredients by category without listing their dosing.

Kwenchers HELPS LIGHT U P YOU R Independence Day Celebration

Why not try a do-ityourself Fourth of July drink with a delicious Cherry Bomb Mimosa?

In Champagne flutes, combine pineapple juice and maraschino cherry juice. Top off with Champagne and garnish with an orange slice and enjoy.

K

nowing the right wine to pair with your meal can make the difference between a dining experience that’s merely average and one that’s transcendent.

But just as certain wines are meant to complement certain dishes, so certain adult beverages can complement and enhance the experience of a Fourth of July celebration.

No one knows this more than Jason Hower.

“Matching food with wine can make or break a meal, but why just food and wine? Why not pair the right fireworks or firecrackers with beer or spirits to make Independence Day fun as well as it is patriotic?” asked Jason Hower, owner, Kwenchers Wine & Spirits.

While the appeal of various beers and spirits are strictly subjective, Hower offered Kwenchers guests a few fun are encouraged to visit with Hower’s pairings of longtime canine adult beverages companion, “Mac,” with their a customer favorite. corresponding fireworks.

“For starters, we carry a beer from Boulevard Brewing Company called Tank 7 – Tank 7 begins with fruity aromatics and grapefruit-hoppy notes, but the flavor of this complex, strawcolored ale tapers off to a peppery dry finish – we thought that would pair well with the little firecracker tanks,” Hower said. “Another pairing I thought of was an old-fashioned cocktail with the most old-fashioned thing there is, which is a straight Black Cat firecracker.”

“Another pairing I like is with Roman Candles, which basically shoot big, bright, colorful balls of fire, so why not get some Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey to go with that?” he said. “Really, whatever theme you’re thinking of, or whatever fireworks you’re going to be shooting off or seeing shot off, we can find something to pair with it, and have fun doing so.”

Hower, owner of Kwenchers for the past five years, moved from Kansas nearly 20 years ago. From there, he began working in various liquor stores in northeastern Oklahoma, first as a cashier, then as a manager.

“Fortunately, one of my bosses along the way was nice enough and had enough vision and faith in me as a manager to send me to visit wineries, breweries and distilleries in Oregon, Washington, California and Colorado so I could soak

BROKEN ARROW JUNE 2019 WWW.VALUENEWS.COM

up as much knowledge and history about the products that I could,” he said. “One thing led to another, and after transferring to the manager of a (liquor store) in south Tulsa, I doubled sales within two years, and with that, I sought out an investor, found this property, and have owned Kwenchers for five years now.”

Hower said the location, at 12914 E. 86th Street North, is “ideal” in that there’s a QuikTrip nearby, and his store shares a wall with a supermarket.

“There’s really no better location for a liquor store than to be near a supermarket – people are more inclined to do their shopping – for groceries and spirits – at the same time, and even though there are some wines now available in grocery stores, they still won’t beat the selection you’re going to get at a

traditional liquor store,” he said.

Kwenchers offers 11,600 square feet of store space, with more than 2,000 different wines, over 1,500 different beers, and more than 2,000 different spirits to choose from. With so many different items to choose from, Hower said it’s “quite likely” that you can find something to perfectly pair with whatever Independence Day celebration you have planned.

Thinking of bottle rockets? Why not pick up bottles of beer?

“Summer holidays, we move a lot of beer and this year will be exciting for us in that we have the full strength domestic beers – we’ve not been able to sell those before, and this will be our first summer beer season that we’re able to sell cold beer – that’s exciting for us,” he said. “We put in our coolers – 14 cooler doors and a walk-in ‘Beer Cave’ for people to find the beer that’s right for them.”

Hower also said this will be the first year that Kwenchers will be open on the Fourth of July, making it the perfect stop for last-minute purchases.

“For us, this isn’t just huge, it’s extra huge, because the Owasso fireworks display takes place on the golf course behind us, so the community congregates in the parking lot out front to watch it – with us open and open till midnight,” he said, smiling.

In addition to beer, wine and spirits, Kwenchers also offers a variety of nonalcoholic drinks, energy drinks and snacks, many of them made in Oklahoma, such as Rhino Pretzels, made in Edmond, and the perfect snack

companion for any beverage, alcoholic or otherwise, Hower said.

“We’re an Oklahoma business, so we support Oklahoma-made products and Oklahoma companies as much as possible,” he said. “We’ve got Oklahoma-made beer, wine, rum, whiskey, we’ve even got a regionallymade vodka.”

So, whatever your preference, when considering how to add a little red, white, and blue whimsey to your Fourth of July festivities, visit Kwenchers in Owasso and ask Hower for his recommendations.

“Whatever you’ve got planned, we’d appreciate you including us in those plans

Kwenchers owner Jason Hower is a participant of the Single Barrel Experience with Knob Creek, which allows liquor store owners to select the bourbon whiskey they will carry by sampling different product from different barrels.

and ask me what kind of beer or spirits to enjoy with your fireworks, and as I always tell my customers, when you drink, please be sure to drink responsibly,” he said.

Kwenchers is open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Friday and Saturday.

Summertime A TOAST TO

BY SHANNON SMITH

A

h, it’s finally summer! The kids are out of school, the pools are open, the heat is on, and everybody’s hungry. What do you make on those hot summer days when you don’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen? My favorite go-to for an inexpensive and tasty meal is toast toppers. There are so many options to topping toast, and you can satisfy everyone’s palate. Whether you toast sourdough, brioche, sandwich loaf, or gluten free bread, you can dress it up with a variety of tastes, including leftovers.

Start with a slice of bread that has been browned well in the toaster. It’s important that both sides of the bread are toasted so it doesn’t become soggy when the toppings are added. I like to smear some type of sauce on the toast first, such as mayonnaise, barbecue sauce, plain yogurt, mustard, or hummus. Then you can get creative and add shaved veggies, canned white beans, tuna, sliced boiled eggs, or whatever goes well with the sauce you choose. For a dessert or snack option, you can top the toast with peanut butter or Nutella, and add sliced fruit, nuts, and coconut. Of course, one of my favorite things to top toast is butter, cinnamon and sugar! Here are some of my other favorite toast toppers that make mealtime a little easier, and they’re great for the kids to make on their own. Find more of my recipes on beadsandbasil.com.
