Teamwork and Planning Keep Fraudsters Away

By Lorrie Ward It is no secret that the veterinarians at SAHO Owasso Animal Hospital of Owasso love animals. Co-owners Dr. Chris Kelley, Dr. Brian

Spriggs, and Dr. Greg Strathe have each devoted over two decades to quality veterinary care of area animals and can produce countless testimonials

from those whose pets they have lovingly nurtured. In fact, at any time, you could walk through the doors of SAHO and see one of the doctors down on the floor petting or playing with one of their patients. These same doctors are also known for devoting themselves to community involvement and service. Dr. Chris Kelley currently serves on Owasso’s City Council and will be next year’s Chamber of Commerce Chairman. He has been a member of both the Owasso Capital Improvements Committee and the Owasso Character Council for four years.

ASK THE MONEY MAVEN STRAIGHT-FORWARD, NO-NONSENSE TALK ABOUT YOUR MONEY

DIVORCE: IF IT’S TIME TO GO... GET YOUR DUCKS IN A ROW! BY MELANIE HASTY-GRANT

Divorce can be very overwhelming. You need reliable information before you make any decisions. Surround yourself with a team of supportive folks including a reliable attorney, financial advisor, therapist, clergy, and friends. While in the early stages of decision making and grief over the loss of your marriage, it can be challenging to think clearly. Several times a year I witness the sad outcome of what happens when folks go through a divorce unprepared. Here are a few things to think about regarding the cost of divorce and how assets may be divided depending on your situation. According to divorce and mediation attorney Laura Baysinger, the average cost of an uncontested, agreed upon divorce in Oklahoma is $1,500-$1,800. The cost of a contested, litigated divorce usually starts at $15,000 per party and up. The cost of a mediated divorce varies depending on how many hours of mediation is required, but the average is $800 with a filing fee of $198. In an interview with Baysinger, she stated that in Oklahoma, assets and liabilities are divided equitable but not necessarily equally (50-50). Investment accounts, IRA/401k accounts, pensions, the cash value of whole life insurance

policies, businesses, homes, and other assets are counted as part of the marital estate. Liabilities are also counted. After all of these items are taken into account the marital assets may be divided equitably. Accounts held separately throughout the marriage that were attained before the marriage began, inherited and gifted money, and assets that were never co-mingled may not be counted in the marital estate. The following are Four Financial Tips for Folks Considering Divorce: 1) Get Informed. Gather all the documents pertaining to your assets and liabilities: account statements, mortgage balance, credit card balance, IRA and 401k values, any loans against 401ks, brokerage statements, student loans, etc. From these documents create a balance sheet to show what you own and what you owe. 2) Review Joint IRS tax returns for the past 3 years. Your

returns will report your annual marital income, whether it came from salary, bonuses, interest, dividends, and property or partnership income. 3) If you are a stay-at-home mom, be sure to calculate your worth. Just because you don’t earn outside income, doesn’t mean you don’t bring added value to the household budget. List every activity you do that saves the household money (i.e.: cooking, transporting kids, grocery shopping, laundry, cleaning the house, etc.). Calculate what it would cost to hire someone outside the family to do each task and then add up the dollar amount. 4) Make a list of your family’s current monthly household expenses and create a mock budget. Include food, insurance, mortgage, electric, car payment, etc. Next, you will need to do some homework to figure out your “after divorce” anticipated budget. Remember, get your ducks in a row!

CChalk It Up to a Fun Weekend of Art Stilt walkers, fire dancers, music by Desi and Cody, and dozens of artists kick up dust Broken Arrow’s Rose District, June 6-7.

By Christopher Davis Hosted by Your Design Art Gallery, the 3rd annual Chalk It Up – An Art Festival is set to take place on June 6 and 7 in Broken Arrow’s Rose District. With the recent rebirth of the Rose District, Main Street offers a fresh canvas for chalk artists to work their magic. Since its beginning several years ago, attendance “has grown by thousands,” says Alisa Inglett, owner of Your Design Art Gallery and event coordinator for Chalk It Up. “The event has grown to two blocks,” she says, referring to how artists spread out in the streets to create awe-inspiring chalk images. With over 40 artists competing for prizes and bragging rights, Inglett says every year brings a surprise creation. “You never know how a piece will turn out,” she says. “I’m always most impressed with the younger artists.” Inglett, who oversees the artist submission process as well, explains how some proposals may seem underwhelming on paper, early on. However, over the years, she has learned to withhold judgment, as some of the best pieces “pop” once they make their way to the chalk-on-asphalt medium. “The three-dimensional pieces are always fun,” Inglett says. “I enjoy seeing the variety in

the artistic styles.” Inglett also enjoys seeing the change in vibe between Friday and Saturday at the event. “Friday night is fun because all the artists get to know each other,” she says, noting that the artists have a tendency to ogle one another’s work and voice mutual appreciation. The camaraderie amongst the artists eventually gives way to a more competitive atmosphere as the artists near their deadline. “Saturday is definitely more intense,” laughs Inglett. Artists begin working their respective 10’ by 10’ sections of street at 8 p.m. on Friday, June 6, and continue working on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., when judges will select winners in a handful of categories. First, second and third place will be selected in various age groups in categories like animation, 3-D, masters, artist’s choice, original art and none of the above. The winner of Best in Show will see their image used on T-shirts for next year’s event. But artists will not be the only ones busy at Chalk It Up. There will plenty of activities and entertainment for attendees. There will be lots of vendors out on Main Street, peddling wares and providing food. On Friday, look for performance artists

STOP THE SNORING!

Snoring is more than a nuisance - it can harm both your health and your relationships! It's not only loud and disruptive it wakes both you and your partner. Snoring can be a sign of sleep apnea, a serious and even life threatening disorder. Sleep apnea causes a drop in blood oxygen levels, which places stress on your heart and raises blood pressure. Sleep apnea also keeps both of you from properly entering REM sleep, the most restorative stage of nightly sleep.

CCounty Commissioner: More than Roads and Bridges

Ron Burrows hopes to educate the public on the position of commissioner so they can make an informed decision at the polls on June 24, 2014. By Lorrie Ward Most people have heard the words “county commissioner,” having seen them on political and public announcement signs, in newspaper articles, and on voting ballots. But there are many people who don’t really understand what a county commissioner actually does. A large portion of the public knows that the office oversees the

construction of roads and bridges, but Ron Burrows, who is running for the Republican ticket spot for District 3 Rogers County Commissioner, has researched the position he is seeking thoroughly. He wants to educate people on what it actually takes to be a successful commissioner so that they can make an intelligent and informed

Ron Burrows hopes to become the next Rogers County Commissioner for District 3.

decision in the voting booth. The County Training Program website of Agricultural Economics Extension: Oklahoma Cooperative County Training Program describes the job thusly: “The members of the Board of County Commissioners are the principal administrators and business managers of the county.” It goes on to point out that most people associate the job with county road construction and bridges, but in reality, there is much more responsibility with the position. “As members of the Board of County Commissioners, they also have the power to make orders and authorizations, to inspect and approve county programs and facilities, to supervise the financial affairs of the county, to develop personnel policies, to investigate the performance of other county officers, to make agreements affecting the welfare of the citizens of the county, and much, much more,” the site continues. As if this isn’t enough, there is even more: “As the chief fiscal entity of the county (except in Budget Board Counties), the Board of County Commission-

ers is in charge of receiving and expending funds and, therefore, must make major financial decisions and transactions, prepare budgets, award contracts, and act on claims.” Ron Burrows was undaunted by this list of responsibilities, as he feels his work experience in road construction, employee and budget management, and public service have prepared him for the position. He began his career in road construction and after working there for 11 years, he entered the retail sector, and worked for 18 years in management for Kmart and Lowes. It was during this time that he learned to work with large budgets. These stores could generate income ranging from $15 million annually in the smallest to $60 million in the largest store. In addition, he managed between 75 and 200 employees at various stores, depending on each individual store’s sales volume. For the past five years, Burrows has served as the general manager of Claremore Expo Center, which has seen much growth and improvements under his leadership. “I feel I can facilitate and be part of good communication and conversation with a multitude of groups to accomplish a goal,” Burrows states. But he feels that the job of County Commissioner is complicated enough that potential commissioners should have to pass a certification test, and stand-

ing commissioners should have to test to demonstrate they are worthy of retention. In the Oklahoma House of Representative’s current session, Legislator Marty Quinn proposed a bill that would have set such requirements, but the bill was killed by lobbyists before it could be presented. Burrows was disappointed that it did not pass because he says, “The job of commissioner has gotten complicated enough that it requires some kind of qualification. When entities are handling millions of dollars, they need proper training and testing to demonstrate they can do it.” Even with Burrows’ years of experience in managing large groups of employees, devising and executing complicated budgets, and overseeing large projects, he would not seek to exclude himself from such requirements. “This is about demonstrating to the citizens of Rogers County that I am committed if elected to take all training available as well as the certification exam to ensure I’m prepared to fulfill the role of County Commissioner for District 3,” he says.

The annual evening of food, wine, art and music will be held Friday, June 13 in downtown Broken Arrow. By Adam J.

for sale and also be performing live art exhibits. And local jazz enthusiast Grady Nichols will also be on hand to perform again as this year’s headliner. The most rewarding aspect of the evening is the cause the event celebrates. Proceeds go to benefit Broken Arrow Neighbors, which helps aid area families who need extra assistance with clothing, money,

school supplies, medical help and other unexpected situations. “We are so excited to move our event to June instead of October as it has been in the past,” said event chair LaTonya Cundiff. “The weather seems to be better and makes people want to celebrate outdoors. Plus, it allows us to get the message out of how important Broken Arrow

Neighbors is to this community. Our corporate sponsors are the lifeblood of this event, and we are always interested in having more join the team!” Partnering with the Broken Arrow Arts & Humanities Council, the event brings together some of the most eclectic and diverse artists from across the region. Artists have their art for sale and stick around to talk to patrons about their work. In addition to the food, wine and art, special surprises will be on hand as well, including the world famous Butt Sketch artists, a wine pull, live art demonstrations, photo booths and more. Wine, Eats & Easels is presented by the Friends of Broken Arrow, Broken Arrow Arts & Humanities Council, the City of Broken Arrow and the Broken Arrow Historical Society Museum. Tickets are available at all AVB Bank locations, Holiday Inn Express in Broken Arrow next to Bass Pro Shops, Epic Salon and Broken Arrow Neighbors.

BBruce Springsteen: A

Photographic Journey The GRAMMY Museum and The Woody Guthrie Center present the exhibition capturing a behind-the-scenes look into the artistry of Bruce Springsteen.

By Todd Cunningham Bruce Springsteen: A Photographic Journey, a traveling photography exhibition curated by the GRAMMY Museum Los Angeles, made its debut in Tulsa at The Woody Guthrie Center in late April. The exhibition features 45 iconic images of Bruce Springsteen. On display until spring of 2015, the exhibit serves to document a great American music legend, and features photos taken by noted Springsteen photographers Danny Clinch, Ed Gallucci, Eric Meola, Pamela Springsteen and Frank Stefanko. “Our goal with this exhibition is to define the career of Bruce Springsteen in an entirely new light, as captured by these five incredible photographers,” said GRAMMY Museum executive director Bob Santelli. “Each of these photographers was able to artfully document Bruce’s world, at different stages in his career. We are honored to partner with each of them in order to help tell the story of one of the most important figures in American music.” Bruce Springsteen’s recording

career spans more than 40 years, beginning with 1973’s Columbia Records release Greetings from Asbury Park, NJ. He has released 18 studio albums, garnered 20 GRAMMY Awards, won an

Oscar, has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, was a 2009 recipient of Kennedy Center Honors and was named 2013 MusiCares Person of the Year by The Recording Academy.

Springsteen’s newest album High Hopes (Columbia) was released on January 14, 2014. While the majority of the exhibit focuses on Springsteen off-stage, four additional live performance photographs, shot by Barry Schneier, are showcased. These photos were shot during the now famous Springsteen concert at Harvard Square Theater where famed Rolling Stone music journalist Jon Landau claimed, “I have seen the future of rock and roll, and its name is Bruce Springsteen.” Additionally, the exhibit features video interviews with each of the photographers, produced

by The GRAMMY Museum. The debut of the exhibit coincided with the one-year anniversary of the opening of the Woody Guthrie Center. “We are thrilled to be kicking off our anniversary celebrations with this incredible exhibit featuring photographs spanning the career of Bruce Springsteen. He is an excellent example of an artist who continues the legacy of Woody Guthrie. The opening of this newly curated exhibit at the Woody Guthrie Center is a perfect fit,” said Deana McCloud, executive director. The Woody Guthrie Center features state-of-the-art exhibits, an extensive outreach and education program, and a concert series to bring his legacy to Tulsans and those who make the pilgrimage to what is a destination for Woody Guthrie fans worldwide. The Center is more than a museum; instead, it is a center of investigation for inspiration. By providing examples of Woody’s ability to use his creativity as a way of expressing the world around him, we hope to encourage others to find their voices and, through their educational programs, explore the power that lies within the creative process.

JJason Carini Runs for

Rogers County Treasurer The Catoosa resident and small business owner wants to restore integrity and ethical behavior to the Rogers County Treasurer’s office.

By Sheryl Sowell

Local business owner and longtime Rogers County resident Jason Carini has announced his candidacy for Rogers County Treasurer. Carini said he is running because he believes there needs to be a dramatic change in the office. “The Oklahoma State Auditor’s 2011 and 2012 reports found the Rogers County Treasurer’s office with inadequate segregation of duties, no procedures to ensure daily bank deposits were safe, and that her office has been using county property for personal use. The incumbent has held the office for 23 years and, apparently, she hasn’t learned the job. It is time taxpayers elect a new County Treasurer,” Carini said. “I am running to establish lawful and proper accounting practices, clear procedures and controls to safeguard public money and maintain accuracy,

transparency and accountability. This is not a silly game for personal pleasure. The operation of the Treasurer’s office is critical to the success of Rogers County. It’s the people’s money and it is time for a treasurer that understands the duty, honor and responsibility of the office,” Carini said. “I have operated a business debt free for the past five years – a demanding task requiring careful money management. It is clear from the Auditor’s report that Rogers County needs a competent manager with real business experience. Carini continued, “The Auditor’s report explained clearly that purchasing ‘equipment for personal use is an abuse of County funds,’ but if the County Treasurer doesn’t know that after having worked for 13 years as an employee then elected for 23 years, then

when will she ever learn? We can’t afford to give her another four years of on-the-job training.” Carini was home educated through high school and graduated in 2006 from Pat-

rick Henry College in Virginia with a Bachelor of Science in Public Policy. In 2009, he co-founded Green Country Mowing, which employs six people, and operates debt free. Jason and his wife, Jessica, live

Page 17

in Catoosa and have two children. He also teaches a weekly bible study. “The County Treasurer is responsible for hard-earned money from the people of Rogers County to take care of roads, bridges, law enforcement and other basic needs. I believe every penny counts. I will apply honest, lawful and proven successful management principles to the Treasurer’s office daily.” “Being the County Treasurer is a full-time job, and for too long the incumbent has treated it like a hobby,” Carini said. “The 2011 and 2012 Oklahoma State Auditor and Inspector’s audits of Rogers County shows the Rogers County Treasurer is unqualified. That is not an insult, but a fact of ‘repeat findings,’ according to the report. That is the reason I ask for the support of every honest taxpayer in Rogers County. Let’s clean this mess up,” Carini added. For more information visit online at www.JasonCarini. com.

Jason Carini (918) 261-4309 Jason Carini hopes to serve his community as the next Rogers County Treasurer.

Goodwill Recognizes Annual Award Recipients

Goodwill Industries of Tulsa celebrates a year of accomplishments. By Duane Blankenship Goodwill Industries of Tulsa provides work opportunities, job training and support services for people with disabilities or other barriers to employment and envisions a community where all people have the training and opportunities they need to be successful in the workplace. Goodwill President David Oliver said, “We strive to meet the highest standards of ethics and account-

ability while treating all people with dignity and respect.” The organization embraces diversity in the individuals they serve, the programs they offer and among the workforce that makes up the Goodwill organization. “We provide services that help people help themselves,” added Oliver. On May 6, 2014, Goodwill celebrated the 2013 accomplishments at the annual Awards

Luncheon. Over 650 employees, clients, board members, community leaders and other business partners and friends of Goodwill joined in the celebration at Southern Hills Marriott Hotel. Award presentations were made by Kristin Dickerson, evening news anchor, KTUL. Kelsey O’Halloran received the Employee of the Year Award. Kelsey is a donation attendant at

Award winners at the 2013 Goodwill Awards Luncheon included Abigail Abate, Kelsey O’Halloran, Kyler Patrick, and Securitas Security Services, represented by Patricia Young and Hanna Al-Nahhasa.

the 38th and Harvard location. She greets donors with a wonderful smile, helps take donations into the work site, and is always willing to lend a helping hand and offer a kind word. Kelsey has been a guest speaker at National Conference Sessions for the Williams Syndrome Association, was nominated Oklahoma Special Olympics “Athlete of the Year” and lit the torch at the Opening Ceremonies. Kelsey was also an ambassador for Oklahoma Special Olympics and served on the local chapter of Tulsa People First. Abigail Abate was recognized as Achiever of the Year. Before moving to Tulsa, she developed a school district tutoring program in Kansas, where she was responsible for 175 volunteers who were matched with students. Everything changed when Abigail had a brain aneurysm that left her with lasting residual effects that she now deals with on a daily basis. Abigail was led to Goodwill’s Job Connection program in 2013. There she was referred to the Goodwill TulsaWORKS job training program, where she participated in multiple skill training classes. She was especially drawn to the Private Security Program, because both of her sons are in law enforcement and she was intrigued with the field of criminal justice. With her good work ethic and outstanding attitude, Abigail completed her training and in 2013 she achieved her goal by completing an application for G4S Security Company. She was hired soon thereafter and works as a security officer at the Citiplex

Towers in Tulsa. The 2013 Graduate of the Year Award winner is Kyler Patrick, who began his association with Goodwill as a high school senior in Owasso, where he was a student in Goodwill’s Transitional Work Adjustment Program. He learned what employers expected in the workplace, how to take instruction and how to behave on the job. Kyler also received valuable work experience in a Goodwill retail store and learned how to interact with customers. In 2013, Kyler was referred to Goodwill’s Supported Employment Program to discover his work interests and skills. Ultimately, he applied for work at Mazzio’s Italian Eatery in Owasso, where the manager and staff were charmed and confident Kyler could play a role in their establishment. The position of “personality” was created specifically for Kyler, and he now busses and cleans tables, keeps the dining room clean, and uses his charming personality to provide exemplary customer service. Thank you, Tulsa, for helping individuals who have overcome considerable challenges to meet their goals. For more information, contact

OOfficer Development Program New to RSU Rogers State University and the Oklahoma Army National Guard are partnering to add the GOLD program this fall.

By David Hamby Starting this fall, Rogers State University and the Oklahoma Army National Guard will be offering a Guard Officer Leadership Development (GOLD) program that will build upon the university’s distinguished military history. RSU President Dr. Larry Rice and Major General Myles L. Deering, Adjutant General of Oklahoma, recently signed the agreement during a campus ceremony. The program is expected to begin on the Claremore campus this fall. “For more than 50 years, this school operated at Oklahoma Military Academy and enjoyed a reputation as one of the nation’s premiere military schools,” Rice said. “Through this agreement with the Oklahoma Army National Guard, we are providing opportunities to prepare a new generation of citizen soldiers.” The leadership program is open to Oklahoma Army National Guard soldiers who attend RSU. Candidates can receive 100 percent of their college tuition paid, live on campus, develop leadership skills and accelerate their military career by being commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Oklahoma Army National Guard upon completion of the program. “The National Guard is the face of the

Army. Our citizen-soldiers are in your schools, in your churches and throughout your communities,” Deering said. “It is crucial to our mission that we develop future leaders for the Guard because we are an integral part of your hometown and we’re an integral part of today’s Army.” The college curriculum includes academic leadership training built into the program, along with leadership labs, physical training and field training exercises that provide firsthand experience about leading others as an officer. RSU’s program would be the only such program in northeastern Oklahoma. Several OMA alumni attended the event, and their contributions to the school and its mission were recognized by comments from both Deering and Rice. Bill Ramsay, president of the OMA Alumni Association, said, “We’ve been wanting something like this to happen for years, and we think it will be a great asset to the university. We thank the university and the Guard for bringing boots back to the ground once again on College Hill.” An endowment to support the GOLD program has been established by the family of one of OMA’s most decorated alumni, Lt. Col. Ed Ramsey, who was instrumental in the liberation of the Japanese-occupied Philippines during World War II. His wid-

ow, Dr. Raquel “Raqui” Ramsey, has worked with the OMA Alumni Association to create an endowment that honors her husband through its support of the leadership program. For more information about the program, contact Captain Michael Mitchell, who is serving as the Officer in Charge of the RSU GOLD program.

Not only will the new facility be able to more efficiently accommodate their comprehensive list of veterinary services, but it will be able to host more upscale pet services, such as a doggie day care, an upscale pet boarding facility, and dog training. “The most unique feature will be the dog park in front of the clinic,” says Dr. Kelley. “Dogs won’t

just ‘go for a walk’ – they will have a swim area, obstacle courses, and areas to play with other dogs.” The building will have almost triple the space of the present hospital, going from 7,200 to over 20,000 square feet, with a much larger waiting area, creating a more efficient visit for pets and pet owners. To Drs. Kelley, Spriggs, and Strathe, this development is just a part of the natural progression their careers and personal lives have taken as they have become integral parts of the Owasso community. “This is not just a job for us – the number one thing

about us is that we genuinely love animals,” says Dr. Kelley. “Being able to maintain that love and combine it with our love for our growing, vibrant community is a way of life for us all.”.

Teamwork and Planning Keep Fraudsters Away departments that are constantly monitoring customer transactions, looking for unusual or high-risk activity. They set up blocks where fraud is trending and keep up-to-date on the latest scams and national breaches, like last year’s Target compromise. “Think of us as a police force trying to stop crime before it happens,” says D. Meyer, RCB Bank Fraud. Contact your bank well in advance of your trip to let them know where you will be traveling. This will not only ensure that your debit card will work outside your home state, but it will also alert your bank to keep a watchful eye on your account. Be sure to give them your cell phone number(s) too, so your bank can reach you during your trip if fraud is attempted. “Banks may block your debit card if they suspect fraud (i.e. purchase made out-

of-state),” Meyer said. “This is to protect you and your money. Know your bank’s fraud hotline number. Keep it handy in case you have troubles with your card. RCB Bank’s fraud hotline is conveniently listed on the back of their debit cards.” Be a savvy travel planner. Avoid acting on unsolicited emails or phone calls regarding free trips, promises of reduced air fare, travel clubs or offers that involve highpressure sales pitches that urge for you to commit right away because the offer will “expire” soon. There are lots of scams out there currently. Never provide card information for a “processing fee.” When using a travel agency, make certain first that the company is registered with the American Society of Travel Agents and to check out the Better Business Bureau rating. Get everything

in writing before paying for the trip. Watch for vague promises of “five-star” resorts or luxury cruise ships at “cut-rate prices” – obtain as much information as possible (in writing) about the total cost, any restrictions that may apply, and the exact names/locations of any promised hotels, airlines, etc. Read the fine print! Beware of cancellation policies. Avoid, like the plague, any travel agency or company that mandates arbitration for disputes. Don’t give up your legal rights! Avoid renting a house or cabin that you have not seen. There are many vacation rentals available, but for every legitimate one, there is one falsely advertised. There is an ongoing scam where fraudsters advertise homes for rent and require payment up front. When the vacationer arrives,

there is no home or it is occupied by the real owner. Don’t fall prey to these scams! Use your debit card wisely. Avoid using it at secluded ATMs and out-of-state fuel pumps, if possible. You can purchase a pre-paid VISA card from RCB Bank for making fuel purchases and other expenses. Avoid using your debit card for online purchases, unless there is the “https://” or Verisign or similar security feature. Don’t assume it’s safe. Click on the Verisign symbol to confirm it’s legit. Scammers use Jpeg images of official symbols (with no link) to trick you. Watch your card, keep it secure, and never leave it in your car or unattended. Never share your PIN or give permission to a family member to use it, unless you will approve all their transactions in the future.

Reliable and Fair Auto Repair Owasso resident of 38 years, when he saw a void in his community, he decided to turn it into a business opportunity. “I bought Owasso Auto Care because I had a hard time finding a trustworthy, hometown repair center,” he says of his 2012 purchase of the business. “I wanted to create a comfortable place with a fair price.” But, Miller insists, the objective is not merely profit. “My family and I live, play, and raise kids here in Owasso,” says Tim. “We believe in giving back to our community rather than just taking.” Miller is also a recent cancer survivor. He says his

The response from the community is clearly positive, as Miller has hired additional staff. “We’ve grown from one mechanic to three in the short time we’ve been serving Owasso.” Chad Martin and Mike and David Figart, brothers, comprise Miller’s expert automotive mechanic team.

One of the unique facets of Owasso Auto Care’s services is their Safety Drivers Program. The program is offered free of charge to “anyone who wants a better under-

Customers can bring their own car in and a technician will go over basics of car maintenance, such as proper tire pressure, antifreeze and engine oil level, as well as model-specific issues they should watch for at various mileage thresholds. “We appreciate a client who asks questions,” Tim says. “We will help them take their tools out, show them out to change a tire – we’ll even work

with them and let them practice on multiple occasions.” With a track record of community involvement and service that spans decades, Tim Miller is brings his commitment to fairness and trustworthiness to the automobile maintenance industry.

BBallard Brings Experience and Leadership Matt Ballard seeks the position of district attorney of District 12.

By Lorrie Ward

Experience and leadership: these are two qualities that Claremore attorney, former prosecutor, and Republican Matt Ballard hopes to bring to the office of district attorney of the twelfth district, which includes Rogers, Mayes and

Craig Counties. “I believe the focus of the district attorney’s office should be on putting criminals behind bars and standing up for the constitutional and God-given rights of law abiding citizens,” said Ballard.

Matt Ballard hopes to bring his extensive experience and leadership abilities to the office of district attorney. Here he is pictured with supporters at the recent Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event supporting Safenet Services.

“It is the responsibility of the district attorney to be the people’s voice in the courtroom and to bring justice to those who break our laws. I will not waiver from these fundamental principles.” After graduating from the University of Oklahoma College of Law with honors in 2002, Ballard served as an assistant district attorney for four years, where he prosecuted juvenile cases, major felonies and homicides, and was named to the prestigious Special Victims Unit. In 2006, he entered private practice as an advising attorney to municipalities and school districts. He is currently a partner in the law firm of Rosenstein, Fist, and Ringold and serves as the city attorney for Claremore. During the past decade, he feels he has garnered the type of experience that has prepared him for the office he is now seeking. “I have been the voice in the courtroom that helped put murderers, rapists, drug dealers and child molesters behind bars, and I have not lost a night of sleep questioning my

judgment in doing so,” said Ballard. “I have spent long nights praying with families while awaiting a jury verdict, and I have known the satisfaction of being able to assure them that those who had done evil would never be free to do more harm. I’m prepared to do what it takes to protect the families of this district.” Ballard regards protection of this district a personal priority as well as a professional one. He grew up in Rogers County and makes his home in Claremore with his wife of 11 years, Traci, and their three children, Kizer, Keaton, and Matthijs. He feels that protecting the county involves more than just fighting crime through the courts – a district attorney must provide the type of leadership that will build and maintain strong relationships between the different offices of law enforcement. “I am committed to building bridges between the district attorney’s office, law enforcement, and the community. We all have to stand shoulder to shoulder to fight crime and present a united

front,” said Ballard, who explains that when relations are bad between these agencies, crime from other areas will infiltrate the community. “Criminals will figure out the weakness in the justice system and exploit it,” he states. If Ballard is elected, he looks forward to building relationships with district police and sheriff’s departments and working together with them to fight crime in the community. “The district attorney is the chief law enforcement officer of the district, so it is an office in which leadership matters a great deal,” said Ballard. “It is critical for our district attorney to be focused on the business of public safety and justice. I believe I can bring to this office the kind of steady leadership and integrity our communities deserve, and I hope the voters will give me a chance to serve.” For more information, contact

FFeel the Call to Foster? TFI Family Connections offers extensive training and continued support to foster parents.

By Lorrie Ward

for example, 1,700 children have been removed from their homes,” said Cecil. “But there are currently only 217 foster homes available.” Becker attributes part of this problem to the fear and misunderstanding that often surround these children’s situations. “Foster care has a lot of negative stigma associated with it, but we’ve found that people who get involved as foster parents realize that these children are not at fault and have just come out of bad situations of abuse and neglect,” said Becker. “They just need a home to care for them and someone to stay with.” The foster care system in Oklahoma was previously regulated by DHS, but due to recent legislative changes, the agency now works hand in hand with the privately owned TFI Family Connections to provide quality foster homes to children in need. TFI Family Connections works hard to live up to its name and offers extensive training for foster families. They continue the support by either providing

Imagine you are a child who has been abused or neglected in the only home you have ever known. Suddenly, you are taken from your “nest” by those who claim they want to help you – but it doesn’t feel that way when you are placed in strange living surroundings and even into a new school. The home you knew before may not have seemed welcoming, but neither does the new world you’ve just entered. And to make it even worse, you have no control over the situation and none of it is your fault. Unfortunately, this is all too common a scenario for children who are removed from their homes for their own protection. According to Jason Cecil and Kyle Becker of TFI Family Connections, their organization works hard to change all of that, with priorities of restoring families and keeping children in foster homes in their home areas. But the biggest obstacle facing the achievement of this goal is a lack of foster homes. “In the last year in Tulsa County,

or providing access to the following services: 24 hour on-call social worker, informative monthly newsletter, local monthly support meetings, free ongoing training, multimedia resource library, close-to-home service office, respite care, professional (and

consistent) personal case manager, in-home behavioral health services with no waiting periods, liability insurance, and reimbursement payments. In addition, they help navigate through services offered by DHS, which still include financial reimbursement for

foster families, and clothing allowances and Sooner Care insurance for the foster children. From the very beginning with TFI Family Connections, foster parents are never alone in their efforts to foster children – TFI not only helps them “feather the nest” by offering step-by-step training resources (including online classes), but helps maintain the connecting threads of that nest as well. According to Cecil and Becker, this strong foundation for successful foster parenting is already in place. The great need is for those who are willing to build on that foundation by becoming foster parents. Both men are willing to come and speak to individuals or groups about the process and want to answer any questions and calm any fears that potential foster parents might have. “We want to reach out to the community through organizations and churches,” says Cecil, who encourages these entities to contact either himself or Becker to come out and speak. “We will come out and meet with you.” For more information, contact
