- Becky Brown

N

ovember, 2021: Becky

Brown is a Field Sales Leader for USHEALTH Advisors. She specializes in innovative life and health coverage solutions for selfemployed individuals, families, small business owners and their employees. “The health coverage plans we offer are quite unique. Instead of presenting our clients with a selection of hard and fast plans and asking them to select the one which best fits their needs,” says Becky, “we ask our customers to tell us what they feel they need. We then make recommendations and write a plan which addresses their concerns.

“Many customers begin with plan basics and add to it as their lives change over the 4

years. Our plan designs are flexible to help you get the coverage you need, when you need it…and at a premium you can afford.” As you grow older or conditions change, USHEALTH Advisors will assist you in choosing optional supplemental coverage to enhance your overall protection in areas Right: Becky Brown is the field sales leader for USHEALTH Advisors.

She looks forward to consulting with you to tailor your personal health coverage plan.

Don’t just choose a health coverage plan...BUILD IT! Life Insurance* and Vision Insurance*, Wellness*, and Vision*.

Becky and her expert team of advisors underwrite healthcare coverage through company subsidiaries, Freedom Life Insurance Company of America and National Foundation Life Insurance Company. “Our mission is the acronym H.O.P.E., Helping Other People Everyday,” she said. Consultations are free and may be conducted by phone or in person.

Most businesses and individuals today are concerned by increasing healthcare costs. Becky’s confidence is in knowing that her organization is different and that her team is innovative, experienced, dependable, dedicated and convenient to residents in the greater Tulsa area. When you call

for information, you’ll be talking person-toperson rather than to a machine. “My goal,” continued Becky, “is to make your plan better than what you’ve previously had. And if I can’t provide you with a better plan, I’ll tell you to stay where you are, give you advice or steer you to someone who I feel can help with the specific needs you’ve outlined.

“Please don’t let others tell you what you need. Tell me what you’re looking for and what will work for you. I’ll listen and write your policy to fill that need. As your needs grow, we can add to your original plan.” Call today to arrange for your

personal consultation.

BY TOM FINK

N

ovember, 2021: Christmastime comes early and stays late this year in the city of Claremore. Let your heart warm to the Christmas spirit and veritable host of fun meaningful activities for every member of the family.

Behind the scenes, Santa’s elves – notably Tanya Andrews with Visit Claremore, Layla Freeman and Nancy Phelps with Light of Hope, and an army of staff and volunteers have been making their lists and checking them twice to ensure months of fun, safe Christmas activities for the 12 |

Claremore community and its holiday guests.

Thursday, Nov. 18 Ne-Mar Christmas Tree Lighting & Free Photos with Santa Claus “First off, we’re going to be kicking off the Christmas season at 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 18, with a tree lighting celebration at Ne-Mar Center,” Andrews began. “There will be hot cocoa and cookies, with Safenet providing the hot cocoa and Visit Claremore providing the cookies, all of which will be free.

“Not only that, but Santa will be on-hand to visit with the children

and to be available for photos – also for free,” she continued. “We’ll have a community prayer being offered by some of our local church community members, after which, we’ll light the tree and officially kick off the Christmas season in Claremore.”

Some of the merchants at NeMar Center, located at 1000 W. Will Rogers Boulevard in Claremore, may opt to stay open for extended hours due for the evening, Andrews said, allowing some to get started on their Christmas shopping early.

Nov. 19-20 Dickens on the Boulevard After this, a Claremore tradition returns to the downtown area with Dickens of the Boulevard on Friday, Nov. 19, and Saturday, Nov. 20.

Dickens on the Boulevard is a Victorian-themed Christmas festival which will be in its 26th year this year. Traditionally held the weekend before Thanksgiving, the festivities begin at 6 p.m. each evening as visitor to the downtown area of Claremore can enjoy live stage entertainment, food, pictures with Santa, a living Nativity, and much more in the spirit of Christmas as it would have been during the late 1800s and early 1900s.

Previous Dickens on the Boulevard celebrations have included food vendors, Victorian street dances and Western-themed re-enactments, with living window displays peppering the downtown area while and artisan village features living history demonstrations.

“In addition to the tree lighting and Dickens, the City of Claremore in tandem with Light of Hope, will be lighting up Claremore Lake Park,” Andrews said. “It’s been a vision for people in the community to have a drivethru Christmas lights display, and Claremore Lake is the perfect place for that.

Christmas lights at Claremore Lake will be up through the first of the New Year, Andrews said.

Light of Hope’s “Illuminating Hope” Christmas light tour and celebration also will be a part of the seasonal activities.

“Last year was our first ‘Illuminating Hope’, at which we did a memory tree and luminara walk at the lake, with a Christmas light drive throughout Rogers County,” said Layla Freeman, Light of Hope founder. “People would pick up maps at various locations around town and go on a Christmas light tour all-around town, with the lake being one of

As part of “Illuminating Hope,” Light of Hope will have its Transformation Tree near the Lake Ranger’s station, at which people can park, draw closer to the tree and pay tribute to their loved ones.

“We’ll have volunteers to help people at the luminaria walk and the Transformation (Christmas) Tree,” Freeman said. “The tree is lit up with white lights, but people can choose a colored bulb that’s the favorite color of a loved one, (continued on page 16)

Fire Prevention and Safety Wood and gas fireplaces need professional attention this time of year.

N

ovember, 2021: Get ready for cooler temperatures and a cozy home by first getting your chimney and dryer vent cleaned. Debris like birds’ nests and leaves, and creosote could be lingering as potential fire hazards in your chimney. As for your dryer vent, lint doesn’t just accumulate in your lint trap; it can also build up in your dryer vents. As most of us know, this lint is extremely flammable; it is the build-up of this lint that can lead to dryer fires.

So before you light that first log, be sure you won’t be sparking a chimney fire.

Approximately 23,000 chimney fires occur every year, causing nearly a billion dollars in damage, and potentially the loss of lives.

Having your chimney professionally cleaned annually will help you avoid a disaster.

You can prevent a chimney fire with three easy steps: • Have your chimney professionally inspected and cleaned. At the beginning of the heating season, hire a chimney inspector to examine your chimney—specifically, the chimney liner and ventilation. The chimney inspector will check for creosote build-up, cracks, and leaks, and make sure the vent is in good working order. A good chimney sweep thoroughly cleans the chimney, flue, and vents.

• Use the right wood. Not all Left: For over 44 years, Black Hat Cleaning Services owner David Harris, Sr. has been serving N.E. Oklahoma.

recommended to be cleaned depending on wood-burning consumption, with a standard recommendation of professional sweep every 3 to 4 ricks of wood burned. Gas burning fireplaces only need to be cleaned every 15 to 20 years. “If you’re not sure if your chimney needs cleaning, at least have it inspected,” David said. “If you’ve never had it cleaned, clean it!”

Dryer duct cleaning is sometimes overlooked by homeowners but should be a top priority regarding fire safety.

Many home fires are caused every year by the lint that gets trapped within the pipes and, once ignited, can quickly burn throughout a home. “Dryer lint is the best thing you can use to start a campfire,” said David. “It is highly flammable. You don’t want that trapped in your dryer vent as a fire hazard.”

David’s sound advice for homeowners is only a small part of the comprehensive service provided by Black Hat. Honesty and integrity are at the forefront of his business practice and what his customers see when they see him in his top hat. “My customers know that they can trust Black Hat Cleaning to be honest, and take care of them, give them peace of mind.”

Over the years, just as David’s hat has gotten taller, the services have evolved to become more efficient, time-saving, and thorough. Chimney cleaning can take up to 45 minutes. David loves his work and the people he serves. “This is my 44th year in business with many more years ahead.”

News from the Indian Women’s Pocahontas Club The Indian Women’s Pocahontas Club is Oklahoma’s oldest, continuous chartered club. Established in the summer of 1899 at Oowala, in the Cooweescoowee District of the Cherokee Nation in Indian Territory, it began as a ‘past-time club’ for Native women returning home in the summers from seminaries and colleges. Today, the club remains active in cultural preservation and community service. Based in Claremore, the membership’s dedication to Cherokee and local history is inspiring and commendable. More than a century since its inception, the women of the Pocahontas Club still gather to preserve Cherokee values.

‘Tis the season for Will’s Country Christmas

BY TOM FINK

N

ovember, 2021: Christmas, more than any other time of the year, is a season for homecomings and a time for family traditions.

As the Yuletide season approaches, so do holiday traditions and the opportunity for generations young and old to make memories.

A seasonal tradition and Rogers County favorite will be returning to Oologah again this year, with the chance to experience the Christmas season as it was during the time of Will Rogers at the Will’s Country Christmas celebration.

“This will be our seventh year to host this event, and it’s one that’s really grown in attendance over the last couple of years,’’ said Tad Jones, Will Rogers Memorial Museums executive director. “Even last year, when many usual Christmas events and activities were canceled (due to the pandemic), we held ours and had record crowds. It really turned out well for us, and everyone who came truly enjoyed themselves, so we

wanted to bring that back again, as it’s becoming something of a tradition for many families.”

Named in honor of famed Oklahoma actor/author/ broadcaster Will Rogers, Will’s Country Christmas is a seasonal celebration as it might have been held during the heyday of Will himself, giving friends, couples, and families in attendance the chance to peek into yesteryear, and what Christmas might have been like during the simpler times of the late 19th century.

Many of last year’s favorites will be returning again this year, Jones said.

“Some of the returning favorites this year will include a shooting gallery, a Wild West hay ride, storytelling, kids crafts and 19th century games, carriage rides, a

VALUE NEWS BROKEN ARROW NOVEMBER 2021 WWW.VALUENEWS.COM

Christmas-themed Wild West shootout, music, pictures with Santa at the Birthplace, which, like admission, will be free and more,” he said.

“We want to emphasize that this is very much a ‘family friendly’ event, so parents of very young children have nothing to worry about, as far as appropriateness goes, especially with regards to the ‘shootout’,” he said. “When we came up with the idea for Will’s Country Christmas, it was when we’d heard that Dry Gulch was going to be going away,

and we wanted to have something, albeit on a smaller scale that parents could bring their children to for the Christmas season that was along the lines of the Christmas Train at Dry Gulch, so it’s very much centered around kids Speaking of which, Jones said a Christmas train has recently been added to the festivities, and vendors and food trucks to be on-site to satisfy those who bring their hunger, or those who want to get some early Christmas shopping done during their visit.

Vendors scheduled to be on hand include Scensty, Paparazzi Jewelry, The Western Pearl LLC, The Dusty Duck Route 66 Mercantile, Wild Oaks Décor, Shawna’s Kiss and Makeup, Melinda’s Tupperware, Kari’s Color Street Nails, Mended with Nature, Remedy Health, Usborne Books, Anderson Lighting, The Happy Llama, Rustic Euphorium and Christmas Photo Booth, with more expected.

Food trucks planning to be present include Linam up Grill, The Rockin Little Dog House, The Pink Flamingo and Curnside Comfort.

Even as national and world events continue to unfold and areas of uncertainty arise, with the approach of Christmas, Jones said he felt it was more important than ever to maintain the traditions of Christmas.

“This (event) is something that’s very much in the spirit of Will (Rogers),” Jones said. “You know, Will tried to bring normality during difficult times, and we want to do the same – have something that people can count on, rely on, and experience something which brings people together in unity.

I’m thankful that we’ll be able to do that again this year.”

Attendees are encouraged to observe safety protocols as they feel comfortable, but masks are not required at this event.

Jones said that previous years attendance has grown with each year – into the thousands – a trend he hopes to replicate again this year.

“As always, the weather can make all the difference as far as attendance goes – we’ve had good weather in the past, and we’re hoping for the same again this year,” he said.

“When we came up with the idea for Will’s Country Christmas, we wanted something to which families could come, take their time, roam, shop, relax, do crafts, and have multiple things for the family to do together to get into or feel the Christmas spirit. Now, after a number of years, this (event) has grown

Above: Tad Jones, Will Rogers Memorial Museums executive director.

larger and larger, and we have people who’ve come from all over the state to experience it. We hope that will continue, and that we’ll have great weather for this event.”

Will’s Country Christmas will be held Friday, Dec. 3, and Saturday, Dec. 4, at the Will Rogers Birthplace Ranch in Oologah., 9501 E. 380 Road.

Festivities will be held from 5-9 p.m. each evening.

Admission free, Hayride $5.
