Pro Advice and Design for Your Kitchen Rem Premium Cabinets Austin Gullic will show you how to create the right kitchen cabinetry without sacrificing style and functionality.

BY CHRISTY STEPHENS

W

hen planning your kitchen or bath remodel, one of the most important considerations is to know exactly what you want. That’s mainly because that decision affects the entire flow of your project. When you don’t know exactly what you want you will drive contractors crazy, drain time and increase expenses.

Premium Cabinets of Tulsa, are here to help you with undoubtedly the most important part of your kitchen remodeling decision – the cabinetry.

Properly designed cabinetry is key to the overall function of your kitchen.

As a family owned and operated business, they specialize in helping both individuals and contractors with all-wood cabinetry at the best value, without cutting corners. They feature the latest styles, colors, and hardware

for your design specifications.

Specializing in high quality cabinet replacement, Premium Cabinets of Tulsa always goes the extra mile to ensure that they are fully connecting with their customers to obtain the desired results, whether it is to update the interior presence of their home, increasing storage space, supplying a more maneuverable room, or a combination of these needs. And once individuals have decided on renovation, timeliness is always a factor.

“Every project does indeed have a different timeline; our access to materials is actually greater than most; we’re still very well stocked in materials we need to complete the job,” says Austin Gullic, owner of Premium Cabinets of Tulsa. “Turnaround time used to be four to six weeks from

initial inquiry to delivery; now it’s closer to eight to 12 weeks, although that is not a specific, as every order is different. Demand is at an all-time high. We’ve seen other companies be as far as 28 weeks out, on average, and we are able to deliver product ahead of our competitors.”

Owner Austin Gullic established his company with his father in 2010 and has steadily earned a solid reputation of reliability and quality product and work. Many choices of wood cabinetry styles and color schemes are available to choose from and find just the right look to achieve the new appearance of your home. To further aid in this goal, Premium Cabinets offers a free 3D design tour, giving customers an immediate visual of their desired project outcome.

“We’re actually one of the first people

n Help model to allow virtual reality,” states Gullic.

“People can put on an oculus and walk through a full size, 3D version of their kitchen. “It’s very exciting as the technology grows, for people are very visual. It’s hard to see your own space objectively as you have used it through time. The 3D helps clarify what we believe is a good idea versus what actually fits the space.”

One of the greatest advantages of any company is the love of the business that the owner has for his design and construction.

“I love taking people’s ideas and creating something that is real, that is what they consider reality altering,” Gullic emphasized. “I love helping clients create that dream; and making it come true.”

Officer, Firefighter of the Year Announced

BY AARON MCCOLLOCH

T

he Broken Arrow Chamber of Commerce announced the Officer and Firefighter of the Year at its Annual Awards Gala Feb. 5, 2022.

Congratulations to Broken Arrow Police Department Detective Brett Burton and

Broken Arrow Fire Department Firefighter/Paramedic Seth Rich!

Det. Burton has been with BAPD since 2000 and served in various roles on all three patrol shifts, Special Investigations Unit and Traffic Unit.

He is currently assigned

to Digital Evidence Lab and Property Crimes for the area of Broken Arrow located in Wagoner County. He is also tasked with examining and managing forensic files from devices recovered during investigations.

“Humbling. Very humbling,” said Det. Burton of learning he had won the award. “I had no idea whatsoever.

“There’s over 260 officers here that are all each deserving of the same honor. Everybody does their work beyond and above what their normal tasks are for.”

In 2020, Det. Burton received a Chief ’s Award for finding funds from unused accounts, which provided detectives with department-issued cell phones to further assist on investigations.

Additionally, since 2003, Det. Burton has maintained his instructor certification as a

“Being a police officer is a fulfilling job with a core mission that is shared throughout the force.”

Drug Recognition Expert and recently introduced a Standardized Field Sobriety Test Instructor course to the BAPD Training Center.

Being a police officer is a fulfilling job with a core mission that is shared throughout the force, he said.

“We all are there as first responders, and our main priority is the safety of our community. And so, we make sure that we uphold that.”

Congratulations, Det. Brett Burton, the 2021 Officer of the Year.

Seth Rich has been with BAFD for six years and it’s a career that he says is a calling.

The Broken Arrow Firefighter of the Year award means a lot to Rich because of the process to determine the recipient.

“It’s a big deal and I was thankful of that,” said Rich of his winning the award. “The award is nominated by peers which makes it even more special to me.”

The award is not limited to single acts of heroism, but instead, firefighters are measured daily against each other. And that’s okay with Rich. As he said, the feeling among firefighters is that they’re not heroes.

“There’s a saying, ‘Just do your job.’ And this is everyone’s job and what’s expected.”

Above: Broken Arrow Fire Department Firefighter/Paramedic Seth Rich.

“The award is nominated by peers which makes it even more special to me.”

- Seth Rich Rich was recognized as an asset to the many different divisions and committees within BAFD and stood out because of his work ethic and attitude. According to the nomination submission form, Firefighter Rich “exhibits leadership qualities that normally aren’t exhibited until you have reached the pinnacle of a career.

However, he continues to display a hunger and positive attitude with each subsequent shift.”

So, with high praise like that and having been recognized as the 2021 Firefighter of the Year, does Rich feel any added pressure?

“I do, absolutely,” he said with a laugh. “You don’t want to mess up at all after you’ve won an award like that which you know, they’ll always be a little hiccups and little mistakes. But there’s definitely a little bit of added pressure to continue to do well and continue to raise the bar.”

Congratulations, Firefighter Seth Rich.

Expert Advice for a More Energy Efficient Home

BY KATHY SMITH

O

lder homes can be made more energy efficient with smart upgrades that result in lower utility bills, and added benefits of increasing the value, comfort and beauty of your home. Investing in your home’s exterior, windows, attic, and roof are all environmentally-friendly improvements with energy-saving payoffs.

Millennials (in 2022 ages 25 and 40 years) are one of the largest home buying segments today. They are economical and are ecological-minded purchasers whose buying decisions rest on energy efficiency to save money and leave a lower carbon footprint. Community Builders, Inc. is a local team who provides answers to your home energy efficiency needs.

Owner Greg Wolter started Community Builders, Inc. in his bedroom in the early 1980s. By 1990, they had moved into a building, and nearly every year since then, have seen steady growth in sales. Starting with siding, the company has expanded over the years to its now all-inclusive specialty home improvement services including windows, roofing, bathrooms, sunrooms, insulation, gutters and doors.

“My passion for this company is two-fold.

First, I want to see the people that work here improve their lives… We constantly talk about how we can become better human beings. And then, we want to make sure we take care of our customers and that they get a good value,” Wolter said.

Windows, doors, and insulation are three areas where minor change can make a major impact. In fact, Community

Builders, Inc. has helped customers reduce their utility costs by 50 percent, just by upgrading windows and insulation.

Their energy efficient products include EnviroView replacement windows, Green Energy Barrier radiant insulation, Cedar Ridge composite siding, and insulated 26 gauge steel metal roofing.

They offer seven styles of windows, and each are installed with a low-e coating and airtight seal, giving them heightened ability to keep hot air out during the summer, and in during the winter. Their doors are durable, high quality and high performance. Also installed with a customfit to make an airtight seal, a door from Community Builders, Inc. will stop drafts and reduce your energy bills. They use energy-barrier material in their insulation, which reflects heat energy, instead of merely slowing down its absorption.

Wolter said, “Think of insulation like a sponge. Eventually, a sponge gets saturated and can’t soak anything else in. Insulation is the same way, it blocks for a while, then gets full and doesn’t do any good. If you can reflect that energy off of it, the insulation works better for a longer period of time. That’s what the energy-barrier material does.”

What do you think pollutes the most?

A plane? A train? A car? Or, a house?

“Most people think it’s a car, but it’s your house,” Wolter said. “Your house pollutes the environment more than anything else. If we can improve the efficiency of a home, then we also reduce the carbon footprint, which of course

is good for everybody… Good for the pocketbook, good for the consumer, and good for the value of the home.”

Wolter said his greatest desire is to serve his customers well, and make sure they make a wise decision that’s the best fit for them. He recommends only making the energy-efficient upgrades if it makes financial sense to do so.

“We want to make sure we take care of our customers, and that they get a good value,” Wolter said, “We’re not perfect, but we are pretty darn good.”

Community Builders, Inc. has a heart for helping locally and internationally.

Overseas, they’ve built a school in Peru, where they feed children every day and a chapel in Thailand, where they help rescue children out of human trafficking.

In addition, they help support Habitat for Humanity, as well as food banks in Bulgaria and Macedonia.

Precision barbering techniques for the perfect haircut.

arbering is a profession that dates all the way back to ancient Egypt, and has a rich history. It was once a field dominated by males; but now, more and more women are entering the career of barbering.

An essential service, half of all barbers are now women, according to the National Barber Museum. A talented local, Jasmine Sampson, is one of these illustrious women.

“Funny story…my father told me to get a job, start school or move out, I lied that I start school Monday,” muses Sampson. “Barber

school was the only thing that started the following Monday, and it truly just worked out for me.

“My training took place at what was, at the time, Oklahoma Technical college; later, the program was moved to Clary Sage.”

What started as a need for schooling quickly grew into a passion. Sampson has been a barber for nearly nine years, and she specializes in straight razor shaves and men’s grooming needs.

She was blessed with a number of positive influences who bolstered her on her path to her career in barbering.

“Influences…first, I’d have to say God, I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for Him,” states Sampson. “My family’s support; Taura Harris from the Bearded Lady Barber Shop in Sapulpa; and Paula

Matthews from Clary Sage, who gave me a fair chance.”

Sampson is located at Reveal Salon, at 91st & Memorial. She delivers a diversity of styles and combines the traditional as well as the modern in her methods; she listens to her clients and provides advice and suggestions when asked.

“I’m seeing a trend with adult men seeking the longer hair look,” says Sampson. “I feel it’s the after-Covid look; most people couldn’t get haircuts, so they just stuck with it. With the younger generation, the teens, it’s the mullet. Yes…the mullet is coming back.”

Sampson’s preferred products are Bed Head for Men for shampoo and conditioning and Johnny B for styling products. Her favorite styles for men’s cuts are a bald fade or a keeping-it-simple business man’s cut.

“I enjoy helping people find their

“Appearing at a show such as this is a great, cost effective way for exhibitors to market themselves to the public, in just two days, being seen by up to, if not more than 5,000 event-goers,” she said. “It’s fantastic exposure, particularly if they’re a new business, and they’re trying to get their name ‘out there’ to the public.

“I was very impressed with the details, and I don’t think you’ve left anything out,” Councilor Lisa Ford said.

City Council Approves New Plan to Transform New Orleans Square

BY LESA JONES

T

he City Council unanimously approved a new Overlay District that reimagines New Orleans Square at the meeting on Feb. 15.

This new urban design framework comes after more than two years of consultations and study with area property owners, two consulting firms, City staff, and a seven-person New Orleans Square Advisory Committee.

The new zoning document will guide the area’s future growth surrounding the intersection of West New Orleans Street and South Elm Place.

Its goal is to encourage redevelopment in and around the existing shopping centers in the area and encourage growth in underdeveloped and underutilized land. It is also intended to foster new residential and mixed-use development.

Urban planners ADG and Code Studio each served as consultants on the project. The Director of Urban Planning for ADG, A.J. Kirkpatrick spoke to the Council about the project’s goals with the new zoning, which include: • Improving owners’ ability to redevelop • Increase opportunity for non-auto trips to and within the district • Broaden housing options for

hen the Rose District Farmers Market opens its 19th season Saturday, April 2, it will be the first-time eligible shoppers can use the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) to purchase fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables at the market.

“These programs ensure that all citizens of Broken Arrow have the opportunity to shop from our fine vendors,” said Community Development Director Larry Curtis.

“This has been years in the making and through team effort, this coming season, we will be able to offer the program.”

Breads, cereals, fruits, vegetables, meats, honey, nuts, dairy products, and more are now available to

purchase through SNAP. (Noneligible items include wine, ornamental plants, vitamins, medicines and non-food items.)

Fresh fruits, vegetables, and honey may be purchased with the SFMNP. Tokens in $1 increments will be available to exchange for SNAP and SFMNP benefits for purchases at the vendor booths. Including these programs into the market has been a goal for Farmers Market Coordinator Nicole Orcutt since she joined the City in 2020.

“I am very excited to finally be able to offer these programs at the market and look forward to expanding on them in the future,” Orcutt said. “I believe that everyone should have access to locally grown produce and can’t imagine a better way of serving and strengthening our community.”

The Rose District Farmers Market will be open on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to noon through October. For more information on the market or programs offered, follow the Rose District Farmers Market on Facebook, Instagram, and the City of Broken Arrow website at brokenarrowok.gov/farmersmarket.

No Bull: Mutton Busting is a Crowd Pleaser at Will Rogers Stampede Rodeo

BY TOM FINK

W

hen it comes to rodeo fun, there’s nuttin’ like mutton.

At the upcoming Will Rogers Stampede Rodeo, young cowboys and cowgirls who qualify will get the chance to test their mettle at this wild and woolly – very woolly – fan favorite event.

But what IS mutton busting?

“Mutton busting is simple: children between the ages of 4 and 7 years old clamber aboard a wild sheep and try to hold on for six seconds,” explained Tanya Andrews, Visit Claremore. “It’s a fun, and safe, recreation of bull riding – another rodeo staple – that’s so much fun for the kids and the family members watching them try to catch and hang onto, or even ride, the sheep.”

But not just anyone can bust a mutton. Only the best of the flock are selected for this safe-but-challenging event.

“The qualifier (for mutton busting) is sponsored by Mid-America Feeds, and will be at 1 p.m. on Sunday, May 1, at the Cowboy Gathering Church in

36 |

Talala,” Andrews said.“In years past, in rodeo history, mutton busting was all the rage for the kids – and of course, for the parents and the grandparents who would come to watch.

“But the event got so popular over the years – when you have 75-100 entries, it’s really hard to get them all in before the rodeo performance starts,” she continued. “So, we started hosting a qualifier, of which, the top 45 contestants will perform at the rodeo.

Those performances are split up over the three nights (of the rodeo), so there are 15 (performances) each night.”

Andrews said the event helps involve children and make them feel like they’re a more active part of the rodeo, with small cash prizes going to the top mutton busters.

Additional entertainment will be provided in the form of a calf scramble, sponsored by Carrie Robinson, The Ross Team and Pembrook Reality, the One Armed Bandit John Payne, and Bobby Reid, who literally drops in on all the action.

VALUE NEWS BROKEN ARROW MARCH 2022 WWW.VALUENEWS.COM

“Bobby (Reid) is a ‘jumper’ – he jumps out of a plane,” Andrews said. “He was here last year and did a fabulous job – he flies over (rodeo grounds) in a plane and jumps out with a parachute that opens up into an American flag. He comes in right after the national anthem is sung – it’s a great thing to see.”

Prior to the beginning of this year’s rodeo, there will be a steer roping event in honor of the longtime rodeo advocate and promoter, the late Clem McSpadden.

“It will just be steer roping Thursday night (May 26), which will give contestants a chance to compete outside of the normal dates scheduled for the rodeo – it’s a large contestant pool – we have numerous entrants who come in just for the steer roping,” Andrews said. “So that will allow for time for other events, such as the timed events, during the rodeo itself.”

All competitors at the rodeo are Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association-certified.

Mutton Bustin begins at 7 p.m. with the PRCA-sanctioned events to begin at 8 p.m. each night.

The 76th annual PRCA Will Rogers Stampede Rodeo will be held Memorial weekend, from Friday, May 27, through Sunday, May 29, at the Will Rogers Stampede Arena, 13601 E. 480 Road in Claremore.

This year, Visit Claremore is partnering with Claremore Main Street and the Claremore Chamber of Commerce to host the Boots on the Boulevard food truck night Thursday, May 26, from 6-9 p.m. with activities for children, including a mechanical bull, live music, a street dance and more.

SpringFest Returns th for its 67 Year

BY STEPHANI FREEMAN

S

pring harkens the singing of frogs, warming temperatures, and gardeners dreaming of where to put all the new plants they just have to have this year.

If this scene speaks to you, then SpringFest at Woodward Park is an event you won’t want to miss.

The annual SpringFest garden market is one of the largest educational events hosted by the Tulsa Garden Center each year, and the longest running garden market in the state.

Celebrating our 67th year, SpringFest will be held Friday, April 8 from 9 a.m.-4 p.m., and Saturday, April 9, from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. at the Linnaeus Teaching Garden and adjacent Arboretum, highlighting two of Woodward Park’s treasured spaces.

Some of our more popular plant vendors returning this year include Up With Trees, A New Leaf, Colebrook Nursery, Dotson’s Produce, Tobi’s Cacti & Succulents, Amanda’s Greenhouse, Across Generations, Chaos Cactus, McClain’s Flowers, Duck Creek Farms and Southern Plant Farms. “The variety of plants

this year will be amazing!” said Stephani Freeman, SpringFest event coordinator.

And don’t miss our newest plant vendors joining us this year, including Prairie Wind Nursery, Sun Hill Nursery and Tulsa Rare Plant Emporium. Euchee Butterfly Farm and Yard by Yard will also be attending, providing unique information on sustainable gardening practices which benefit pollinators.

We are also excited to welcome back the Linnaeus Teaching Garden tent, as the volunteers have been hard at work since last fall nurturing plants divided from the Garden, and which will be for sale to the public.

Come out early and snag some breakfast before you shop, or purchase a yummy lunch and find a spot in the Arboretum to throw down a blanket and relax before completing your plant wish list.

Then while you’re shopping, don’t forget our “Too Much to Carry” hospitality tent where you can leave your purchases with our volunteers, go get your car, then pull up to our drive-thru area so our team can

load you up with your newfound beauties. You’ll be back at home in no time to start playing in the dirt!

“Nine of our affiliated plant societies, including the Tulsa Garden Club and the Green Country Water Garden Society, along with our knowledgeable staff, volunteers and plant vendors, will all be available to answer your most perplexing gardening questions and help you find just the right annuals, perennials, vegetables, house plants, hanging baskets, herbs, cacti, succulents and even fresh cut flowers,” said Director of Horticulture Andy Fusco.

This event is free for the public, and all event proceeds benefit educational programming, beautification, and historic preservation for the 45-acre Woodward Park campus. If you would like more information about being a sponsor or a volunteer for SpringFest, visit www. tulsagardencenter.org/springfest, email Stephani at sfreeman@ tulsagardencenter.org or give us a call at 918-576-5155.
