here was a time when the garage was thought of as a storage room attached to the house. In most cases it caught the unsightly, unseen and sometimes unwanted mess. The days of the clutter catching, grease monkey catch-all are going the way of the dinosaur.

Garages these days have become extensions of the living area. From man-caves to show places for big kid toys, this parking and storage space is taking on its own unique place in the home, for some even being the hangout spot with additions of big screen TV’s, sound systems, decorative art or even disco balls.

n today’s day and age, it’s all about perspective. The staff and seniors of Tapestry at Woodland Hills live by their positive outlook on life, so much so that it has earned them recognition among their competitors. The active 55+ community was presented with the Senior Community of the Year Award for 2016 at the Zenith Awards this last year. Applicants were required to submit a video to set their community apart from the rest.

Property Manager Paige Johnston headed up the project, using her iPhone to interview residents and staff giving testimonials about why they love living and working at Tapestry.

She also showcased the complex through the video.

“We’re known for being a bright and happy community and I wanted to show that in this video,” said Paige. “Our staff trulyy cares about our residents, o which is why we try to

id you know that approximately 40 million adults between the ages 18 to 54 struggle with anxiety? According to the National Institute of Mental Health, that’s about 18.1 percent.

Unfortunately, that doesn’t include the adults, from college student to working adult, that don’t seek help for stress-related issues. James Browning of Browning Clinical Hypnotherapy knows that most people want resolve the natural way, which is why he started his practice almost four years ago.

“I believe hypnotherapy is the most affective method for anxiety and fear because we didn’t come into this world afraid,” said James. “ Somewhere along the way, we’ve learned to fear and to stress.”

James dedicated an entire career to media management before establishing Browning Clinical Hypnotherapy in 2013. His passion for learning and helping people has remained constant throughout the

early years of his practice.

“I’m already booking appointments a month in advance,” says James. “This practice has grown so much and for that I am very grateful of my community’s support.”

James has been interested in the subject of hypnotherapy since he was 14. He has continued to learn about new methods and has used self-hypnosis throughout his life.

He says the flexibility he gets from owning and operating his own practice is ideal. He sets his own schedule to allow for volunteer work for a local hospice organization whose patients he helps with anxiety and severe pain management.

“At least half of my practice deals with this realm, from general anxiety to even specific phobias,” said James. “I even had one patient

who suffered from IBS. It was through the work we did in hypnotherapy that we were able to discover some of the cause of the syndrome was from stress she had created in her mind.”

James meets with clients for an initial appointment to give them an idea of what the process of hypnosis is like, usually followed by 3-5 more sessions to make progress depending on the severity of the fear or situation.

“We usually uncover other factors to the initial fear or phobia in the process,” said James. “I definitely see progress in my clients, from fear of flying to anger issues rooted in fear, to even nursing students with test anxiety, my goal is to help clients improve their lives.”

Peace of mind is closer than you think. Give James a call today.

When Goodwill Industries of Tulsa sees your gently used clothing and household items, they see the beaming smiles of confidence and accomplishment of the over 6,000 individuals served in their training and placement programs in the past year.

Goodwill Industries of Tulsa is celebrating their 90th anniversary in 2017– 90 years of operating with integrity, treating others with respect, upholding commitment, celebrating diversity and providing space for empowerment.

“This anniversary just gives us an even greater reason to celebrate,” said Nancy Webster, the director of community relations.

“We’ve been privileged to

serve the community for 90 years, and are excited to continue growing our programs and the number of people we serve.”

A staple in the community since 1927, the mission of Goodwill Industries of Tulsa is simple: to provide work opportunities, job training and support services for people with disabilities and

other employment barriers.

“Our employment and job training programs also focus on job retention which truly transforms lives, now and into the future,” Webster said.

When you donate to one of the Goodwill’s 28 Donation Centers, or shop at one of the 11 area retail stores, you directly support the company’s mission. In 2016 alone, 469, 933 people donated 21 million pounds of clothing and household

items. The revenue that was generated by the sale of those goods allowed Goodwill Industries of Tulsa to provide job training and other related services to 2,156 individuals, and to serve 3,935 people through their Goodwill Job Connection program.

During 2016, Goodwill training participants filled 593 jobs in the community, and graduated with GEDs and other certifications.

Goodwill’s TulsaWORKS Career Academy offers occupational skills training for various industries: computer skills, employment essentials, Computer Support Tech, forklift/ material handing operation, hospitality services, and unarmed private security training; each course is licensed by the Oklahoma Board of Private Vocational Schools. In the tradition of Goodwill Industries’ founding motto, “A handup, not a hand out”, program participants receive the tools they need to help themselves.

March 2017 broken arrow

| 21

These tools include: resume workshops, mock interviews, interview clothing and job fairs.

Rita Gilliam, director of retail sales said, “We’re always looking for opportunities in the community to determine what programs we can provide that will meet a need and help people to be successful in the work place.”

Interested in becoming a part of Goodwill’s mission? There are three major ways to get involved: donating monetarily or with gently used goods, shopping at Goodwill stores or by calling Goodwill to volunteer.

“We’re so thankful for the support of the communities we serve and we believe that continued support will increase when people see our mission and vision in action,” Gilliam said.

Lend a hand and visit Goodwill today to see why they’ve been helping others for almost a century.

The Superhero Challenge is the organization’s second annual fundraiser; the other is the annual black tie event, the Candlelight Ball.

According to Rebecca Thompson, event co-chair, it was a no brainer to put this event together.

“The thought was simple,” she said. “We have an event for adults, why not have something for the entire family?”

Tulsa and the surrounding communities come out to support and build the event up to make it a huge success. Many organizations volunteer to build the obstacle courses to make it light and fun.

Thompson says, “CAN is so well run 28 |

It is amazing to see the district attorney, police, doctors and others pitching in and becoming a great team for kids.”

There are two obstacle courses set up to make sure everyone can join in the fun: a 1 mile course for

Many families take part as a team and cheer each other on along the route. Different heats are ran at staggered times so the course does not get overloaded.

possible thanks to many sponsors such as AAON, QuikTrip, Mazzio’s, ONEOK, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Oklahoma,Tulsa Federal Credit Union, Cyntergy, Grant Thornton, Valley National Bank and others.

You can get involved by volunteering as a traditional sponsor or as an obstacle sponsor. There

are different levels and you can get more information about sponsorship online.

“We are looking for volunteers, registrants and donors. We encourage everyone to dress up and come join the fun,” says Brandi Moore, Community Relations for CAN. The event will be held at POSTOAK Lodge and Retreat, located just fifteen minutes from downtown Tulsa at 5323 W 31st St N, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74127. Once on site you will find a Fun Zone for the kids with inflatables, face painting, popcorn, snow cones and plenty more. Event sponsors will have booths setup with information about special services and ways you can get involved.

Registration is $20.00 and open now until March 29, 2017. Don’t miss your chance to suit up and bring out your inner hero.

LOVE ON THE ROCKS The Big Meat Run hits Disney

BY CLAIRE CARTER

t

has been called one of the largest events in the state of Oklahoma. The beautiful part about it is that it all happened by accident.

22 years ago, seasoned machinist John Sumner was working in Claremore, Oklahoma when he ventured down to Grand Lake to check out the Pensacola Dam in the little community of Disney.

It was then that Sumner discovered an amazing natural rock garden, which is the result of 77 years of water passing through the turbines of the dam. Worn down to the bedrock to form a canyon like surrounding, it became a place for

I

Sumner and his close friends to take their Jeeps and explore on the weekends. The area is now simply referred to as “the rocks.”

some 10,000 from all over the country during the course of one weekend in the little lake town.

You’ll see a little bit of everything at the event in

It grew into a customer appreciation event for Sumner Machine Works, which is owned by Sumner in Arkansas City, Kansas.

By word of mouth alone the event that started with 12 people now brings in

terms of transportation; Jeeps, trucks, RZRS, fourwheelers and even a few spectacles such as a horse or a tractor.

Yet, it’s the custom made “rock crawlers” that Sumner helps build, that most of the spectators

come to see.

There are two major “climbs” that are attempted by most, Viagra Hill and Bounty Hill. There is a certain satisfaction in watching the participants attempt and succeed the vertical crawls, yet there is more of a crowd reaction when they tumble over and fail.

The name of the event, The Big Meat Run, comes from the thick width of the tires that adorn the rock crawling machines.

“It really was just a matter of luck and good timing,” stated Sumner on the event itself. Due to some local politics in Disney over the years, the event still lacks major sponsorships. But

Sumner forges on just for the fun of it it.

“I love seeing people having fun with their families and having a good time,” he said.

The free event, which takes place this March 24-26 below the Pensacola Dam, will no doubt result in another great turnout of spectators and participants.

In terms of tourism, the numbers are undoubtedly huge for not only Disney, but

for the 60 mile radius su di the h event surrounding in Northeast Oklahoma.

Not only are gas and food sales astronomical over the course of the three-day event; hotels, cabins, parks and campgrounds are booked up for miles around.

“It’s a great event and we’re lucky to have it return year after year,” stated Disney Mayor Chris Tutor.

Tutor, who also owns the Dam Rec Park, stated

th hat The Big Mea Meat Run has that elped put Disney on the helped map, inspired other rock crawling events and even brought new campgrounds to the small town.

In just a few short years Disney has seen a handful of new business owners come to town.

CopperWood Lodge owned by Dusty Wood has built a number of great cabins close to the dam. Two Mom’s Campground owner Shelly Martin has also

built a fun spot for offroaders to enjoy enjoy.

There’s also Cherokee Spirit RV Park, which is a gated park owned

by Norma Crockett and the oldest campground Hogan’s Off Road Park owned by Russ Hogan.

IT’S SWARMING UP

BY SEANA WARREN

T

he groundhog was wrong – at least for the Oklahoma area. While parts of the north and west have been ravaged by snow and dangerous rains, it’s been quite nice in the Sooner state. But nicer weather can invite a few visitors that no one wants to entertain termites.

Swarming of these destructive and pesky little creatures usually occurs in the spring and most often during the morning following a warm rain shower, whereby the soil temperature is around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

There are several areas in green country that are in high risk of springtime termite swarms including: Bartlesville, Broken Arrow, Claremore, Jenks, Miami, Muskogee, Okmulgee, Owasso, Ponca City, Sand Springs, Sapulpa and Tulsa.

“We are armed and prepared for the early spring weather,” said Sheila Disler or Mother Nature’s Pest Control & Lawn Care.

“Treatments are administered in and around our homes, garden, shrubs and lawns, therefore diminishing the inherent numbers of termites, mosquitoes, fleas, ticks, and bedbugs.”

Termite colony nest

development is slow in the first few months.

But after a few years, the queen termite can actually produce up to 10,000 offspring a year. One queen may live for many years and workers up to two years.

The swarmers go to work in the thousands after a mature termite nest is large and well-established on smaller nests. When specialists find a smaller swarmer nest, it’s a sure sign that a larger termite nest is in the vicinity and professional protection is required.

“We always perform a thorough, free inspection at your residence or business before recommending any treatment, “said Justin Buckmaster of Mother Nature’s. “Each pest problem

is different and requires a tailormade solution. Mother’s Nature’s experienced staff is ready to help our neighbors in green country prepare.”

According to the United States Department of Agriculture, U.S. residents spend an estimated $5 billion annually to control termites and repair termite damage. One termite swarm can cause thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of damage to one home or business.

“Our biggest investments are our homes and businesses, and it makes sense to proactively guard those investments with professional help,” said Sheila. “And, Mother Nature’s has been serving the green country area since 1979. If you need us, we will be there.”

MOTHER NATURE’S PEST CONTROL AND LAWN CARE

Mother Nature’s Pest Control & Lawn Care department managers include: Brent Pressnall, pests; Tom Sevitts, lawn; David Grady, human resources; and (not pictured) Andrea Monks, office manager. Sheila Disler is communications director, and Justin Buckmaster is marketing director for Mother Nature’s.

s you daydream about warm days spent in the backyard, and parties under the stars, what does it look like? If you imagine a beautiful deck, or a charming pergola – look no further than Sawdust, Ltd. Rick Vaughan, owner of Sawdust Limited, began carpentry after high school. His passion for developing carpentry skills and techniques led him to constructing beautiful redwood decks in the mid1980s and 90s.

The company quickly became the source for creating one-of-a-kind decks and pergolas in the Tulsa area. Vaughan is a founding member of NADRA, or North American Deck and Railing Association, an organization committed to keeping the integrity of the deck building industry intact.

“When you use a better product, you get a better value. That’s what we’re all about,” Vaughan said.

They use composite decking now, a manmade blend of wood or bamboo fiber and plastic, which optimizes longevity and lowers maintenance.

Sawdust Limited uses

the lastest version of composite available.

Moisture Shield, Envision, Fiberon and Fortress Deck are some of the best decking products available in the area. Many of these products have been featured on HGTV. For their pergolas, they use only the finest western red cedar, and OZCO hardware – as

Customer satisfaction is Sawdust Limited’s top priority. They pride themselves in paying close attention to detail in the design and construction of their structures.

Additionally, they offer a myriad of handrail options using metal, cable and composite.

“We do it right the first time. We don’t get callbacks,” he said.

Sawdust Limited values community service, as well. In 2007, the company was honored to be the first deck builder of NADRA to donate a deck to a local veteran coming back from Iraq.

Ask Mella at My Choice REAL TIPS FOR SENIORS LIVING INDEPENDENTLY

KEEPING YOUR BODY STRONG One of the ongoing effects of aging is loss of muscle mass. If you don’t do anything to fight it, you could find yourself unable to get out of an armchair or off the toilet one day. Aging also brings declines in aerobic capacity and flexibility.

And those factors together increase your risk of falls—at a time in life when bones tend to be more brittle.

Eighteen percent of of seniors say they have fallen in the last year, and of those, 71 percent were injured, including 8 percent who broke a bone.

Here’s a quick test to find out whether your fitness has deteriorated to a point that puts you at risk: Time how long it takes you to get out of an armchair, walk 10 feet, walk back, and sit down again. A healthy adult older than 60 should be able to do it in 10 seconds or less.

Flunked the test? The good news is that it’s never too late to start working out to counter aging’s effects.

There’s no medication, no medical device that has anywhere near the effectiveness of physical activity.

Here are some concrete steps you can take, based on recommendations from experts at the American Heart Association and American College of Sports Medicine.

Get a physical-therapy evaluation Ask your doctor to prescribe a consultation with a licensed physical therapist who can help you design a safe exercise program.

Do 150 minutes of cardio every week Aim for at least 30 minutes at a time of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise (think a brisk walk where you’re not breathing so hard that you can’t carry on a conversation) five days per week. For motivation, consider using an activity tracker; the Fitbit One is a top-rated model.

and do eight to 10 exercises targeting the muscles of your upper body, lower body, and core. Start slowly and work up to a weight or resistance that causes fatigue after eight to 14 repetitions. If you have problems with your joints or bones, consult a certified trainer or physical therapist before starting a program.

Keep your balance One of the simplest exercises is to practice standing on one leg. Also consider tai chi, which numerous studies have shown improves balance and reduces the risk of falls.

Track when you fall Many seniors hide when they have a fall. It is important to tell your doctor and keep a record on your home calendar. Falls are indicators that can alert your doctor to age related problems.

LOCAL EATS

Benny’s & Brunch

TRY IT AT HOME NUTELLA CREPE WITH STRAWBERRY INGREDIENTS FOR BATTER • 1 cup / 150g plain flour (all purpose flour) • 1½ cups / 375ml milk • 2 eggs • 3 tbsp / 40g unsalted butter • 1 tsp vanilla extract • 2 tbsp white sugar (optional) • Pinch of salt

BY ERICA LUDWIG

esiding in the heart of downtown Broken Arrow, Toast is the perfect place for brunch dates or a gathering of friends over breakfast tacos and mimosas. Servers greet you like an old friend while upholding professional service.

Under the same ownership as Franklin’s Pork & Barrel, another Broken Arrow staple known for its unique spins on classic entrées, Toast aims to offer innovative and locally sourced meals along with seasonal menus for its patrons.

The restaurant features an array of breakfast items savory and sweet. Try their famous Benny’s, or eggs

R

benedict options. Highly recommended are the Georgia Benny’s, a dish consisting of a hand-made cheddar biscuit with a hand-breaded chicken thigh and poached eggs, topped with creamy hollandaise and served with homemade fried potatoes. This specialty pairs comfort with fine dining and goes great with a cup of coffee.

For the sweet tooth, choose from the seven different entrees Toast offers in house. The lemon blueberry pancakes are a great take on a classic item.

Soufflé-style pancakes are served with fresh blueberries, vanilla butter and fresh fruit. If you’re feeling fancy, try the berry

cream cheese crepes, filled with lemony cream cheese and topped with triple berry compote. If you like options of savory with your sweet, you can always add a side of eggs, biscuits or breakfast tacos. Bright colors, brick walls and conversation to fill tables surrounding make this restaurant a popular brunch spot. Generous, sharable portions leave for a happy wallet, with prices ranging from 7-15 dollars.

Head over to Broken Arrow Main Street to see why Toast is proving itself to be the greatest thing in breakfast since sliced bread.

“A neighbor recommended OCR to me when he learned I was considering an outdoor living area. I reached out to Jake and he was very responsive, professional and prompt. He was the only contractor who came to inspect the job and make recommendations. While we were negotiating the pergola, Jake noticed my roof damage and worked with me and my insurance company to process a claim for the roof replacement. His assistance helped me to get almost an additional $2,000 for the damage to my property.

We contracted with OCR for both the pergola and the roof replacement. We had recently completed a significant landscaping update in the front yard so I asked Jake to make sure that this area was properly protected. OCR showed up when they said they would, worked hard to finish the job as quickly as possible, and cleaned the yard so well you could not tell they had ever been there. Additionally, with the new impact resistant roof, my annual insurance premiums went down by 43%!

I would absolutely recommend OCR for your roofing or outdoor living projects.

In fact, I have already recommended OCR to our neighbors who also sustained hail damage from the storm that damaged our property.”
