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

For Advertising Information, call

Yours, Mine, and Ours. BY MELANIE HASTYGRANT June has historically been the most popular wedding month of the year. Whether you’re just now getting hitched or you have been for a long time, to combine your finances or have separate accounts is a sticky ball of wax with which lots of couples struggle. In fact, it was one of the top causes of marital problems that I dealt with as a therapist many years ago. Now just for the record, my husband and I have been together for nearly 30 years. We got married while in college and were broke. We have always had shared/combined accounts. All income and all debt has been shared by both of us equally regardless of who was making more money throughout the years. This has worked well for us and I can’t imagine doing it any different. However, it does require a lot of work. As with many other areas of relationships, it requires good communication. It requires talking about shared financial goals, setting limits on expenses, and trusting each other. It means being accountable to each other, following through on commitments and being willing to share. It doesn’t come without a few bumps in the road and an argument here or there. When couples are willing to talk about the hard stuff and work through to successful conclusions, it strengthens the relationship. When they have difficulty fighting fair, being honest, and sharing, it can be

very hard. So it is…with the subject of money and all other aspects of a relationship. Now over the years, I have noticed an interesting trend. More and more young, first-time couples and older second marriage couples are choosing to have separate accounts. Sometimes, they tell me they have a joint account that they pay household bills out of and then individual accounts for their “play” money. The joint account is funded by each person with an agreed upon amount each month. This account is used to pay the mortgage, utilities, insurances, etc. that the couple share. However, the individual accounts are often used to pay for food, entertainment, gifts and miscellaneous purchases. There is always more than one way to “skin a cat” as my mom used to say. (That’s a funny saying isn’t it? Who the heck ever skins cats?) Anyway, couples that use this strat-

egy often report that they do it this way so that they don’t have to fight about money. They also tell me that they feel safer this way should something happen to their relationship. They don’t have to “ask” their partner about things they want to buy with their own money. Basically, what they are telling me is that they don’t want to take the risk of dealing with this difficult topic in their relationship. They are worried about not being able to communicate and effectively resolve conflict they might have in this area. It is an attempt to eliminate an area that might become problematic. I must say that I understand and respect the notion of trying to head off problems before they arise. However, I must submit that I’m not sure that avoiding something that is this intertwined in our daily lives is possible in an intimate relationship. My experience in working with couples has been that it just trades one set of emotions, and problems, and issues to deal with for another set. At the end of the day, it’s about learning (no matter how difficult) to communicate and share and trust in all areas of our relationships, including money.

Five Things Parents Should Do to Shape Money-Smart Kids

Financially Fit is a column published by RCB Bank to help you gain knowledge on all things financial. Fitness guides – RCB Bank professionals in the field – offer ideas to help you strengthen your money sense, customize savings training, and provide quick and easy action plans to start whipping your money into shape. By Steve Elliott, RCB Bank VP Loan Officer, and father of two The goal most parents have for their kids is that they will grow up and become educated, welladjusted contributing members of society. Let’s face it, we’ll settle for out of the house and paying their bills. So, how can we help our kids learn money smarts? The single biggest equation in life is how to make money. Good careers require good educations, be it a college degree or technical training. Good educations open doors to good money, and that is when making the right decisions with your money (and teaching your kids to do the same) solves the equation. Here are my top five things every parent should do, right now, to prepare their kids to manage their money. Number five: Talk about money.

Ronda and me,” said Thomas Scott, AAMCO franchisee. “We’re thrilled to have such an incredible platform that allows us the opportunity to impact the lives of people in the community. The ongoing support we receive from AAMCO’s executive team is unparalleled, and we’re constantly motivated by their passion and commitment to their franchisees. We look forward to continuing to serve new and existing customers in Tulsa and Oklahoma City for many years to come.” Prior to joining AAMCO, Thomas spent more than three decades in plastic manufacturing, working in the injection molding field, while Ronda worked for 15 years as a dental hygienist. Today, the Scotts are closely involved in the day-today operations of their nine units. “Thomas and Ronda have proven to be tremendous franchise owners to AAMCO and Ronda and Thomas Scott, pictured with Mitt Romney and Evander Holeyfield at the Charity Vision continue to impress us with their fight night in Salt Lake City, Utah on May 15. AAMCO was a sponsor of the event, which raised commitment to providing superior customer service each and every over $1.2 million for those in need of vision care. After years of uprooting their family for Thomas’s previous jobs, the Scotts were seeking a sustainable business opportunity so they could settle down and focus on family.

Known as the world’s leading transmission expert, AAMCO has evolved into a total car care brand providing a variety of services, including tire and brake repairs, tune-ups, shocks and struts, routine maintenance and more, and was recently named to Entrepreneur’s 2015 Franchise 500®. Ranking at the top of the transmission repair category based on system size, growth rate and financial strength also earned the brand a spot on Entrepreneur’s “Best of the Best” list.

CComfort You

Can Count On Aire Serv of Tulsa provides a family tradition of reliable, honest service.

By Christopher Davis This summer is going to be a doozy. Before the searing heat pushes your AC unit to the brink, it is worth having Aire Serv Heating & Air Conditioning pay a visit to conduct some preventative maintenance to ensure your comfort throughout the season. Aire Serv is based in Bixby, and serves the entire Tulsa metro area. Owned by Randy Raper, who has lived in the Tulsa area his entire life, the company is truly a family business. His wife, Debi, runs the office, scheduling service visits and handling nonstop phone calls. Their son, Jordan, is also a certified technician and possesses skills and experience much deeper than his age implies. When asked about the family business, Jordan says he grew up watching his grandfather and father repair heating and cooling units. “I used to ride along with my dad,” he says. Once he was old enough to lend a hand, he did. Throughout high school, he was learning the trade – whenever he wasn’t studying or playing sports. “If I wasn’t at any outside school activity, I was helping my

dad,” he recalls. While other twenty-somethings are still trying to figure out what they want to be when they grow up, Jordan is already well established in a career. Such reliability and work ethic is representative of the Raper family and their business. Knowing a reputable company to fix air conditioning

www.ValueNews.com

is vital as the season heats up. Summer is hardly in full swing, and already Oklahomans have been tested with spikes in temperature. After a rainy, recordsetting May, June swept through and pummeled the region with more humidity and heat. “The previous two summers were relatively mild,” says Debi Raper, adding that she expects this summer to be one of the hotter ones. “It’s going to be humid, on top of the heat,” she says, which only exacerbates reliance on air conditioning. She explains when the weather heats up quickly, they receive a lot of emergency calls for failing cooling units. And, while the family welcomes the business, people

could avoid the misery that comes with a broken air conditioner. “A lot of problems come from not maintaining units,” she says. If units aren’t properly cleaned and tested at least twice per year, small problems turn into big problems. Often, preventable breakdowns occur because no one was checking the unit in the first place. Debi and Randy urge customers to sign on for the Aire Serv Advantage Plan. The Advantage Plan protects customers with cooling and heating service checks twice per year, ensuring HVAC systems are prepared for the extreme temperatures of summer and winter. Each service visit features a 26-point inspection and tune up, including filter replacement

and unit wash. In addition to the preventative care invested in the cooling system, Aire Serv offers Advantage Plan customers a 15% discount on repairs. So, even if something does fail, owners will have something cool to look forward to. All Aire Serv work is backed by a 100% guarantee, adding to the peace of mind offered to customers. Plus, Aire Serv is available for repairs 24 hours per day, seven days per week – with no overtime charges. Sometimes, though, units aren’t worth the effort and cost of repairs. For those wanting the increased efficiency of a new system, Aire Serv can assist with financing. Further, when a new high efficiency unit is purchased, owners are eligible for a rebate with PSO. With service plans to cover customers year round, deals on emergency service and 24/7 service, Aire Serv is the business to call on to keep you cool this summer. Don’t wait until your unit goes out – set up a service call today.

TTime to Celebrate The Clock Store celebrates one year in business this month. From quartz to cuckoo, these clockmakers restore memories and keep traditions alive.

By Christopher Davis When Jonathan Schultz mentions he owns The Clock Store, he says the response is usually, “Hey – I got a clock.” The discussion then turns to the story behind the clock, which is just fine with Schultz. The story associated with each clock he meets is part of his passion for repairing them. “I love hearing about where a clock came from, learning who made it,” says Schultz, who has loved clocks ever since he was a young boy. In August, The Clock Store will celebrate its first anniversary of business. Located in Broken Arrow’s Rose District at Yesterday’s Antique Mall, the shop is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. seven days a week. The Clock Store also has a second location in Bixby at Birdseye Treasure (at 151st and Memorial). Both locations sell restored clocks and provide full services for a wide range of clocks. “We don’t just repair clocks,” explains Schultz, “We restore memories.” And when one

steps back to think about the significance attached to a clock, it’s true. Most clocks are passed on from generation to generation, watching over family traditions and marking the minutes as little ones grow up. When an antique clock is adopted by a new family, part of the allure is the history it represents. While clocks are utilitarian in nature, there is something special about a wellmade clock. The design of the wood, the craftsmanship and the gears inside – clocks are works of art as much as timekeepers. Before televisions, and now computers, took over our living rooms, clocks served as a focal point in homes. Schultz says that between 1840 and 1950, millions of clocks were produced. Without dwelling too much on how ‘they just don’t make them like they used to,’ it is worth pointing out how clocks worthy of our love and attention are becoming rare. This is another reason Schultz is so passionate about clocks. He

points out, “Although it keeps time, no one wants to inherit their grandfather’s cell phone.” Though Schultz, an admitted “people person,” is the face of The Clock Store, he works with three other clockmakers. Each has their own specialty. Schultz has a knack for quartz clocks, and has even retrofitted winding clocks with quartz assemblies for owners who have difficulty moving the components. He adds that the winding assembly can be held onto and later reinstalled when the time comes to pass it on. One of his partners specializes in anniversary clocks (which require winding about once per year). Another’s focus is grandfather (also known as tall case) clocks. And another clockmaker loves restoring and repairing cuckoo clocks. A lot goes into proper repair of clocks. It starts with an assessment of the nature of repair and quoting a cost estimate for the owner. Once Schultz has the approval to move forward, they execute the repairs, which may require ordering special parts or fabricating a replacement. Once the repair is complete, the clock moves into the regulation phase. This entails observation and making sure the clock actually keeps proper time, and might require more adjustments. After it has been verified the clock works properly, it is ready for pick up or delivery. While most clock repair shops might take anywhere from three to six months for service completion, The Clock Shop generally has a six to eight

TThe Price of Depression… The clock is ticking. Don’t lessen your odds of recovery.

By Duane Blankenship Dr. Jeff McIlroy has served Strength of Mind as Chief of Psychiatry since its founding in 2004. The group’s purpose is to provide a ready response to those in need of outpatient behavioral health care and their goal is to make psychiatry innovative, effective and accessible. “By using diverse, personalized and comprehensive treatment

methods,” says Dr. McIlroy, “Strength of Mind meets a variety of patients’ needs at any age.” Strength of Mind was the first in Tulsa to provide TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation). TMS therapy is an FDA approved, non-invasive medical treatment for major depression. The treatment gives direct MRI strength magnetic

pulse stimulation to the frontal lobe of the brain compelling neurons to start firing which leads to restoring the brain to normal functioning levels while elevating moods and encouraging ambition. Insurance companies that currently cover TMS treatment at Strength of Mind include Blue Cross Blue Shield, Federal, Anthem, BCBS-OK, Medicare, United Behavioral Health, Community Care Oklahoma and Value Options. “The price of depression is staggering,” says Dr. McIlroy. “It affects your family, friends, employer, employees and, of course, you. Depression leads to decreased mood, initiative and drive. It brings about indecisiveness about life while healthy development, jobs, hobbies and relationships come to a halt. The result is dissatisfaction with life in general, decreased physical activity, leading to poor internal health and stamina. Thus fat content goes up, efficiency of heart beats go down. The risk of strokes and diabetes rises.” With depression, the clock is ticking. “Research shows that parts of the brain, such as where

memories are stored, actually shrink.” says Dr. McIlroy. “The likelihood of recovery continues to decrease the longer a depressed individual waits to see a specialist.” In other words, the longer you remain depressed, the harder it is to come out of it. The good news is that there is help through TMS. Dr. McIlroy explained that Strength of Mind has much to offer through a three-pronged approach to treating depression with TMS. “(1) We wake up the brain with direct stimulation in areas that pills have not been able to touch. (2) We use therapeutic fitness to engage the body while the brain is in a state of readiness. (3) We change patient behavior. This is what makes our treatment so unique; we treat the whole person.”

Dr. Jeff McIlroy, Chief of Psychiatry for Strength of Mind, says their TMS treatment is a three-pronged approach to treating and recovering from depression.

Research has shown Dr. McIlroy’s group that while physical activity is a powerful tool in treating depression, exercise is the last thing a depressed person wants to do. “This typically leads to listlessness, inactivity and remaining out of shape,” said Dr. McIlroy. “Strength of Mind’s solution is one-on-one therapeutic fitness to get the body moving, the result of which is a boost to the recovery process. And there have been no medical side effects with our TMS treatment,” added Dr. McIlroy. The Strength of Mind team forms a partnership with each patient in the journey to regaining quality of life. Their goal is to restore health and help each patient rediscover a life free from depression.

CConnecting Military to Museums The Broken Arrow Historical Society Museum is proud to announce it is once again a Blue Star Museum.

By Lori Lewis Blue Star Museums is a collaboration among the National Endowment for the Arts, Blue Star Families, the Department of Defense, and more than 2,000 museums across America. The program runs from Memorial Day, May 25, 2015 through Labor Day, September 7, 2015. The free admission program is available to any bearer of a Geneva Convention common access card (CAC), a DD Form 1173 ID card (dependent ID), or a DD Form 1173-1 ID card, which includes active duty U.S. military - Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, as well as members of the National Guard and Reserve, U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, NOAA Commissioned Corps - and up to five family members. “Parents of young children tell us that they go together to museums to learn new things and have family time together,” said NEA Chairman Jane Chu. “Blue Star Museums helps them do both, by helping military families learn about the cultural resources in their communities, and offering a fun, high-quality experience that’s budget friendly as well as family friendly. We’re proud to help connect museums to military communities nationwide.”

“Blue Star Museums has grown into a nationally recognized program that service members and their families look forward to each year,” said Blue Star Families Chief Executive Officer Kathy Roth-Douquet. “It helps bring our local military and civilian communities together, and offers families fun and enriching activities in their home towns. We

are thrilled with the continued growth of the program and the unparalleled opportunities it offers.” This year, more than 2,000 (and counting) museums in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and American Samoa are taking part in the initiative. “We are grateful for the members of our military and their

families that support them. Being a Blue Star Member is just one small way that we can show our appreciation for everything that they do,” Lori Lewis, Executive Director of the Broken Arrow History Museum. Any and all qualifying families are invited to stop in to see the Broken Arrow History Museum located at 400 South Main in downtown Broken

Arrow, in the heart of the Rose District. The hours of operation are Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Broken Arrow History Museum houses a permanent collection of artifacts and displays that tell the tale of the history of Broken Arrow, from the arrival of the Creek Indians at the end of the Trail of Tears to some of the more modern developments in our town including some of our prominent early citizens. The museum houses exhibits of the Childers log cabin, the train depot, “Broken Aro” coal and our two banks that were established prior to statehood. The first floor exhibit hall houses temporary exhibits that are changed throughout the year. In mid-July, an exhibit from the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame will open. For more information, contact

AA Rock Show for the Ages

Tulsa Rock and Mineral Society holds annual Gem and Mineral Show at Tulsa County Fairgrounds Central Park Hall, July 11-12. By Christopher Davis Join the Tulsa Rock and Mineral Society for their annual Gem and Mineral Show at the Tulsa County Fairgrounds on July 11 and 12. The show serves as the organization’s largest fundraiser, supporting educational and enrichment programs for the community. The weekend-long exhibit provides an opportunity to experience the beauty and history of our planet. It also brings together vendors from across the region, offering choice specimens of gems and precious stones, jewelry, and related crafts and artifacts. “The show is a great way for rock hounds and newcomers to meet and share their passion for gems and minerals,” explains Julia Allande, show chair for 2015. She and her husband, Paulino Allande, are avid collectors of geodes, crystals and rare gems. When asked how they first developed a love of rock hounding, Julia describes helping family sort through heirlooms in storage. She recalls, “There was a rock collection amongst the things

headed to storage. We found ourselves setting aside some of our favorites. Next thing we knew, we had a nice little collection started.” But, as they started going on hiking trips and searching for their own finds, it wasn’t long before their collection outgrew their shelves. “We came across a store that had a going out of business sale,” she laughs. “They were selling some display cases, and we got a great deal on them.” Now, the Allandes have their own personal showcase for their finds. With the Tulsa Rock and Mineral Society, they help plan field trips and facilitate workshops for kids, which combine education with fun. Each month, the Rock and Mineral Society meets at College Hill Presbyterian Church, located near the University of Tulsa at 712 S. Columbia Ave. Meetings begin 6:15 p.m. on the second Monday of every month. Visitors and children are welcome. Prior to the general meeting, a social hour is held, along with “Pebble Pups,” which is an opportunity for kids to have some fun with rocks. “Kids love collecting crystals

owasso / collinsville

and gems, and enjoy learning about how they were formed,” says Julia. Rock hounding can be a rewarding hobby. Participating in field trips is a great way for parents and children to get outside and enjoy nature together. At the same time, returning home with a few specimens is a bonus reward, providing a vehicle to create memories and share stories. Every piece is different and has its own story. Whether the rock was found along a trail or digging into the side of a mountain, it always feels special when one makes a discovery. Even when the rock is purchased, or passed on from person to person, there’s always an element of thrill when you lay eyes on the piece for the first time. In the Rock and Mineral Society’s case at College Hill Church, some representative samples and rarities are on display. Several types of quartz are shown, including “Smokey” and “Skeletal” varieties. Though each type is similar in basic molecular composition, the differences in temperature and pressure at the time of formation affect their color and grain pattern. One of the highlights of the display, a semi-precious stone known as lapis lazuli, has its origins in Afghanistan. Long ago, blue was a very rare color, and lapis was coveted for its deep azure hue. It is referenced in ancient literature, such as the Epic of Gilgamesh, and is often associated with royalty. It is worth attending a second Monday meeting just for the chance to view the specimen in person.

Paulino and Julia Allande, Show Chairs for the 2015 Gem and Mineral Show. At the show, plenty of activities will educate and entertain young and old. A free kids’ zone will feature hands-on opportunities to dig for gems, as well as demonstrations and other fun stuff. There will also be a booth where attendees can cut and polish their own gems. Admission to the Gem and Mineral Show is $6 for adults. Two day passes are $10. Children 12 years and younger (accompanied by a paying adult) are free. Scouts and military members in uniform receive free admission. The show takes place at Central Park Hall at the Tulsa

County Fairgrounds. Show hours are Saturday, July 11 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, July 12 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Preparing for the Future? cial futures. “I provide an individualized approach to each new client.” “My philosophy,” says Linda, “is that building long-term relationships with clients is key to serving their needs. We locate in the communities where our clients live and work because that’s the best way to know you and help you reach your financial goals.” One of her favorite clients never made more than $30,000 when he was working. Today he is worth more than $5 million and is happy for her to share his

success story. Linda attributes a great deal of such success to a personal, long-term approach to investing. Although some people are capable of handling their own investments, most of us agree that it’s desirable to have a financial advisor at the helm with us. When selecting one, it’s critical that we enlist the services of an individual with the proper training and experience to keep us on track to accomplishing our individual financial goals. When you become a client of Linda’s, your

continued from page 1 investments will be monitored and you will be in regular contact with her. If you’d like to visit with Linda, call for an appointment to meet and determine if you like her personal approach to investing. You will receive an email outlining what to bring to the meeting - tax records, 401 (k) and other investment records. You and Linda will discuss your expectations and your current financial situation. You won’t need to show her your records, just have them on hand so you can answer her questions.

This is an opportunity to determine your short-term (5 year) and long-term (lifetime) goals. You will also complete a Risk Tolerance Survey for Linda to use in writing your proposed plan. Once you’ve received your written investment plan from Linda, you will be encouraged to take it home and study it prior to your next meeting. “I encourage my clients to think about their options thoroughly before making any decisions,” she says. “I want to provide answers to their questions before the journey

begins and I want them to feel very comfortable with every step along the way.”

Advances in Technology Bring Increased Security and Convenience continued from page 1

became increasingly consolidated, they discovered a growing number of customers falling through the cracks when it came to customer service and specific needs. Since the late ’90s, DLSS and TelStar Technologies have provided stellar communications, lighting and surveillance systems to a diverse roster, spanning casinos, small businesses and private residences. Kevin Dyson, head of DLSS, has seen surveillance technology go from clunky cameras and stacks of VHS tapes to inconspicuous digital cameras and cloud-based archives. “The technology has come a long way,” says Dyson, noting that customers can save thousands of dollars on superior equipment compared to industry standards of the previous era. Today, security and surveillance equipment is faster, less costly and more reliable, considering improvements in connectivity and archival storage and retrieval. Powered by Alarm.com, an industry leader in surveillance technology, DLSS was ahead of the curve, featuring such systems long before they became widespread. Today, DLSS systems include 24/7 response, fire alarms, Wi-Fi cameras, cloud video storage and mobile monitoring apps for smartphone and tablet. Dyson explains, “You can watch camera feeds in real time from your smartphone, tablet or PC. And the footage is automatically stored in the cloud for ninety days.” The convenience of checking in on one’s property while fishing or enjoying a campfire is enhanced by the security of cloud-based storage. Gone are worries of lost or stolen security footage, and access is limited to only those with explicit permission. Further, security systems don’t even rely on phone lines anymore. Systems are completely self-contained and communicate directly with the control center, adding another layer of security and convenience. Such perks are ideal for

rural properties and vacation homes. In fact, last fall, DLSS and Tel-Star Technologies opened a new office in Grove with rural markets in mind. “We’re the only security system company with an office in the region,” notes Dyson. The office is staffed every day, continuing a tradition of serving customers often overlooked by larger companies. The expanded service area improves accessibility for home and business owners who would otherwise find it difficult to obtain swift installation of security systems from certified experts. And service does not end with security. For all communications and connectivity needs, including high speed Internet service and “smart home” connectivity, Tel-Star Technologies is the perfect match. Utilizing smartphone or tablet apps, lighting, heating and cooling – even irrigation control – is right in the palm of your hand. Technology improvements translate to energy – and money – savings. The added convenience is a welcome bonus. Those who invest in DLSS and Tel-Star Technologies services gain peace of mind, too. Even from across the country, checking in on the safety of property or turning off the sprinklers as a storm rolls in is only a few screen taps away. To embrace the latest technology in home and business connectivity, contact DLSS and Tel-Star Technologies.

TTaste the Delights The Pink House is open for lunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Saturday. By Lorrie Ward Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art.” The fact that Pink House owner Margo Stewart has taste is obvious to anyone who has a meal at the restaurant. And she can truly be called an artist, as she and her staff create a beautiful and hospitable atmosphere for their guests every day. The restaurant itself is housed in a lovely old home, a historic Claremore landmark, and as with anything truly beautiful, it radiates its light from the inside out. Margo and her staff are full of joy and warmth that overflow and infuse the room, making guests feel as if they have truly arrived home. The dining room at The Pink House is open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and guests are offered an eclectic selection from an extensive menu. Choices include light and delicious salads, scrumptious sandwiches and wraps, and warm

and tasty soups of the day. The Pink House is famous for their selection of quiches, each served with green salad, fresh fruit and fruit dip, and a delectable piece

Or you may want to try one of their signature casseroles, like the chicken enchilada or the chicken and broccoli, both of which give new meaning to the word “comfort food.” Desserts become their own works of art at The Pink House and include daily offers of chocolate and butterscotch layer desserts, coconut cream pie, and baked fudge. Special desserts also make guest appearances at The Pink House from time to time, like mandarin orange cake, bread pudding, and Italian crème cake. “Even though these are not always on the menu, we can make them on request,” says Margo. “If you will give us 24-hour

as other party-perfect selections like finger sandwiches and pinwheels. “My favorite pinwheels are the jalapeno and cranberry,” says Margo. “They are yummy!” Just as they are well known for their selection of many flavored teas, both hot and cold, they are renowned for hosting “teas,” or tea parties for special guests. In the spirit of the “tea,” The Pink House offers a nice selection of teas, teapots, and other tea related items in their gift shop. A list of parties, events, “teas,” and other catering opportunities are available in detail on their website at www.pinkhouseofclaremore.com. Whether she is hosting a lunch hour meal with friends or a tea party, shower or special event, Margo’s promise to her guests is to provide them with “a totally unique and relaxing dining experience, and the absolute perfect setting for creating memories that will last a lifetime.” And by doing just that, she proves herself to be a true artist, touching lives within her canvas, The Pink House of Claremore.

AAmerican Celebrates America American Heritage Bank continues tradition of celebrating Independence Day in Sapulpa.

By Christopher Davis In honor of Independence Day, American Heritage Bank presents the 19th annual fireworks show in Sapulpa on Saturday, July 4. For most, July 4th tradition involves friends, family and lots of food, capped off with a fireworks display. Folks in every town make an annual pilgrimage to their local fireworks show, toting blankets, coolers, snacks, and a radio while contemplating the freedom that characterizes our nation. For Sapulpans, a trek toward the Municipal Golf Course will be rewarded with one of the finest shows in the region, thanks to American Heritage Bank. “People look forward to seeing the show, and we work hard to give it to them,” says Sarah McCormick, vice president and marketing director of American Heritage Bank. Planners expect more than 15,000 people to watch the fireworks show, which is provided by Celebration Pyrotechnics. Musical accompaniment by Four Winds will be broadcast on 88.5 FM in a two-mile radius. The fireworks will be launched from the Sapulpa Municipal Golf Course, with recommended viewing areas located to the south. Attendees are encouraged to park at the Walmart

This is a fun event for the entire family,” says McCormick. The fun begins at 7 p.m. and stretches into the night – until the fireworks run out. The Kids Korner will have plenty of activities

to help the children burn off some energy and occupy their attention until the sun goes down. At about 9:45, the fireworks will begin. Don’t forget to tune in to 88.5 FM to catch the live broadcast and choreographed music. “American Heritage Bank sponsors this show in order to say ‘thank you’ to our community for all their support, business and patronage,” says McCormick, who has been planning this event since its
