Q & A with Financial Advisor Linda Rainwater Q: A:
How can you tell if the market is going to go up or down? – Inquiring Irene
Irene, the market can go up, down, or sideways. We do not know what it will do tomorrow. There are several approaches to studying the stock market. The three most common are Fundamental Analysis, Technical Analysis, and Psychological Market Analysis. Fundamental Analysis looks at detailed financial statements for each company and the study of figures such as sales, expenses, taxes, and profitability. Warren Buffett is a proponent of Fundamental Analysis and talks about the importance of investing in companies that have a business you understand. Technical Analysis uses statistical data to determine trends of companies. In Technical Analysis you study the current momentum of one or more areas of the stock market, such as any changes in the price of the stock and how many shares are being bought and sold over a specific time frame. Technical Analysis utilizes charts and identifies patterns within charts. Psychological Market Analysis looks at investors’ reactions to events. It can be difficult to weed through the endless stock market information available on TV, internet, radio, newspapers, mail, and from our friends and family. Today’s headlines often aim to shock and awe rather than give useful investing information. Most individuals do not choose to study the stock market but instead react to daily news which can be harmful to a portfolio. Market fluctuation helps you to potentially buy low and sell high. Having a trusted Financial Advisor can help you understand the market and make wise choices in your portfolio.

t seems the biggest challenge for parents nowadays is mitigating how much “screen time” children indulge in. Video games mimic physical activities and sports. Smartphones offer instant access to movies and TV shows in the car and anywhere else a phone signal permeates. Camp Courage, a nationally accredited camp, offers children an outlet combining fun with the outdoors in a positive environment that instills a love for nature, and builds confidence and friendships for life. “We are so proud of this accreditation because it exceeds state standards,” said Camp Courage founder and director Jennifer Hayes. “This took a year of preparation on our part. From revising procedures to working with staff, we had to be evaluated in person on discipline, safety, etc. 8

It’s definitely a credit to our staff. We are so proud of them.” Accreditation is a family’s best evidence that their camp is committed to the health, safety and overall well-being of their child. The American Camp Association accredits approximately 2,400 diverse camps nationally, each camp meeting up to 300 health and safety standards. Jennifer and her husband, Ronnie, started the nonprofit
organization seven years ago. The couple of over 20 years has worked hard to bring their faith-based youth camp to life. Camp Courage is a sort of buffet of outdoor activity for children ages 5 to 14. With activities ranging from hikes, fishing and archery to swimming and
OWASSO & COLLINSVILLE APRIL 2017
canoeing, children find themselves less drawn to the virtual world and enjoying the real world. With encouragement and guidance from leaders and the small groups of eight, campers meet challenges and have fun, building selfesteem and confidence. Campers engage in different field trips every week to ward off a redundant summer. Parents can even pick different weeks for children, so no need to choose between summer camp and family vacation. Registration is now open for summer day camp in Owasso. Children are dropped off at “Base Camp” between 8:30 and 9 a.m. Parents may pick them up between 5 and 5:30 p.m. Before and after care is available also. Sessions run throughout June and July, and into mid-August.
Campers are given activities to build confidence.

T
he thought of even one little boy or girl in Tulsa being traumatized by a horrific act of child abuse is painful enough. But the fact that the numbers are rapidly increasing each year – 2500 children in our community this past year alone – is absolutely heart breaking. Statistics show that one in 15 children is involved in a child abuse investigation in Tulsa County each year. That equals to about two children per averagesized Tulsa classroom. But Tulsans “CAN” fight back. Since 1988, a growing number of volunteers and significant community partners have joined forces through the 501c3 non-profit Child Abuse Network (CAN) that teams the Tulsa Police Department, the Department of Human Services, Oklahoma University Medical Services, the District Attorney’s Office and the intervention services of the network itself to reduce the trauma children face during a child abuse investigation. Board member Ashley Hudgeons, who is also a vice president at Hillcrest, said, “Without CAN, a child would have to be driven to each of the agencies individually and retell his or her experience at each place for each forensic interview. The Child Abuse 12 |
VALUES
Network’s collaborative solution allows children to come to one location and testify once to diminish the trauma.” Hudgeons, now in her fifth year on the board, has stepped up to cochair CAN’s 6th Annual CANdlelight Ball hosted at the historic Mayo Hotel Friday, April 21, with a cocktail reception at 6:30 p.m. with dinner at 7:30, followed by a night of dancing. Along with co-chair Cari Marshall and honorary chairs Max and Marian Vowel, Hudgeons invites everyone to the black tie ball to celebrate the hard work of those who provide the intervention services and reflect on this community health crisis of child abuse. The event also serves as a fundraiser to help improve the network’s facility as it continues to grow. “When the Child Abuse Network facilities were built, the need back
in 1992 was to serve 40 children a month” Hudgeons says. “Now, we serve more than 50 children a week from every zip code, income level, race, ethnicity and every part of Tulsa. The average child is 8 years old. CAN needs as much awareness and community support as it can get.” The CANdlelight Ball is CAN’s primary fund-raiser. Tickets can be purchased for $500 by phone or email at events@ChildAbuseNetwork.org. Event sponsorships begin at $1000. This year’s “Star Light, Star Bright” theme focuses on the organization’s wish for a brighter future for each child they see.

LIVING EXPO BY FRANK W SAWYER
T
ulsa’s newest home and garden show is coming back for another year. The Spring Home & Outdoor Living Expo is set for a three-day weekend opening at noon on Friday, April 21, 2017 in the River Spirit Expo at Expo Square. The show falls on Earth Day weekend. Many of the exhibitors will be drawing special attention to how their business uses recycled materials in their products and how easy those products are to recycle. Other exhibitors will be showcasing ways to save energy and conserve resources around the house. The biggest news concerning this year’s expo is that attendance is now free. As you enter, you can also register for the daily $500 cash drawing and for the grand prize of a $1,000 home improvement from USA Home Solutions. Register early on Friday and have four chances to have your name drawn. The first 1,000 families to enter the drawing will be given a free gift valued up to $9. Each adult entering the show will also be given a voucher, valued at $15, for free document shredding 14 14 ||
provided by Green Country Shredding and Recycling in Broken Arrow. Shred that oldest year of tax records and other “spring cleaning” discards. This year’s expo will feature a wide variety of building components, remodeling materials and service providers for your home. Some of these will be seen for the very first time in Tulsa. The show is the perfect size to be easily walked in a two-hour period while allowing in-depth exploration of your favorite exhibits. Spring Home & Outdoor Living Expo is produced by locally-owned Tulsa Home Shows, which is an accredited member of the Better Business Bureau.

hether you need a storage building, pole barn, loafing shed, or other portable building, Inola Portable Buildings & Pole Barns can meet your needs. In business since 1998 at the same location, the company has earned an excellent reputation. The company is located off the north side of Highway 412 at 30355 S. 4230 Rd., where you will find more than 50 displays available. Buildings can be delivered or built on location, but about 90 percent of the businesses’ work is done on location. In the company’s 19year history, “We’ve never had a complaint about our buildings,” says Owner Carl Parson. “Our business has grown through wordof-mouth. We started with two buildings when we opened, and it just continues to grow each year. We’ve found that if you do everything better than the next guy, you’ll stay busy.” Conventional or Dutch Barn portable buildings include treated skids along with treated floor joists on 16 inch centers, ¾ inch tongue and groove flooring, #2 stud grade materials, a 50-year factory 18 18 ||

THE WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE BY SEANA WARREN
f you feed a man a fish, that man will eat for a day. If you teach a man to fish, that man will eat for the rest of his life. What if that philosophy could work with teaching wealth? At Generation Income Strategies, that’s their mission. Linda Rainwater, owner of Generation Income Strategies and financial advisor for Raymond James, believes in the basic principle that knowledge is power and better understanding of financial knowledge can lead anyone to making and reaching their financial goals. “52 percent of people in the U.S. invest in the stock market,” said Rainwater. “Very few have a real investment education or know what they own. That’s where we come in.”

Rainwater says that patience is one of the main building blocks for understanding more about what you are investing. “We teach investing at the speed of the individual client. If it takes going over information three to four times, we don’t mind or get impatient. After all, that’s what we are here to do: to teach you how to grow and manage your wealth. You can’t do that in one meeting. It usually takes about six months to get really comfortable. It shouldn’t be overwhelming.” As a client with Generation Income Strategies, you will learn about investments through a series of tools like fun board games, seminars and one-on-one meetings with knowledgeable staff. There are no dumb questions when it comes to building wealth. What’s in my 401K? How does that work? How do I need to choose stocks? What is a derivative? These are all great questions that Generation Income teaches in order to build greater wealth, not only for clients, but for generations

down the line. Rainwater and her staff take great pride in passing along financial knowledge to everyone in the family. “We have classes for ages ten and up,” said Rainwater. “One of the greatest gifts we can give our children is to be financially successful. If a family can communicate openly about investing, saving and building wealth, children have a much better chance of being comfortable with money as adults.” Comfort is the second basic building block applied by Generation Income Strategies. They offer a comfortable setting where all questions, ideas and life 22 |

events are welcomed. “My job isn’t to place orders in the stock market,” said Rainwater. “My job is to get to know the needs of individuals and families. I get calls when major financial family decisions are being made, such as weddings, family additions, retirement and
OWASSO & COLLINSVILLE APRIL 2017
funerals. It is a privilege and much more than a job to me.” Generation Income Strategies offers free consultations for all potential clients by calling the office and arranging an appointment. They also offer free seminars for Social Security law changes and updated

GOOD HEALTH
IS IN THE GUT BY LESLIE MASTERS, MD
T
he GI tract has never been my favorite topic to talk about, yet when it comes to wellness and the body functioning at its very best, the GI tract is where every patient must start. This goes for everyone, even when there is no doubt that your main health issues and concerns seem unrelated. The GI tract or the gut is your main way to get treatments we may require for other issues into the body. You must be able to digest and absorb well if you have any hope of getting treatment for other issues into the body where they can be effective. Just think about it. The GI tract is given the enormous job of sifting through everything we consume and sorting out what is good and what is bad, what is a nutrient and what is a toxin, and what is important to absorb and share with the rest of the body and what must be isolated and not allowed in. By now most people know the GI tract is lined with healthy bacteria that keep the gut and the body functioning well. As a matter of fact, you have more bacterial DNA in 28 |
VALUES
your GI tract than you have of your own DNA in your entire body. The bacteria in the GI tract weighs about 3 pounds. Eighty percent of the immune system is in the gut in the form of Peyers patches. Seventy percent of your serotonin is made in the gut and 80% of your vitamin K (a key factor in clotting cascade) is made by the bacteria in the gut. So although this is not a terribly fun topic, it is a critical one when it comes to keeping the body in tiptop shape. Many of the things that can go awry in the GI tract have to do with the bacteria that line it. First, you can have good bacteria but way too much of it. When this happens, the bacteria that usually lives down by the colon works its way up into the small intestine. This is called SIBO or small intestine bacterial overgrowth and it can cause dysfunction such as malabsorption and villus atrophy. Another issue that can arise in the GI tract is dysbiosis. Although the term literally means bacterial imbalance, it can also mean the growth of bad or pathogenic bacteria. These bad actors can cause inflammation,
OWASSO & COLLINSVILLE APRIL 2017
mucosal disruption and micro-ulceration or breakdown of the GI tract surface cells. Finally, yeast overgrowth can be an issue causing puffiness, bloating and fatigue. A rule of thumb in integrative and functional medicine is to “always start with the gut”. The gut and the bacteria that line it are critical to the health of the rest of the body. Gut health starts at birth and affects our overall health through our developmental years and beyond. The good news is testing for GI tract issues is simple and inexpensive. A healthy gut is the key to overall wellness. This is one issue, when properly addressed, that can change your life. MASTERS MD 8913 S. YALE AVE SUITE 200 | TULSA, OK (918) 296-7546 MASTERSMD.COM
SYMPTOMS OF AN UNHEALTHY GI TRACT: • Food allergies • Immune system overstimulation • Systemic and local inflammation • Malabsorption of nutrients with subsequent micronutrient deficiencies • Maldigestion which can lead to macronutrient absorption issues, • Intestinal hyperpermeabilty commonly referred to as leaky gut. • Fatigue and lethargy • Weight gain and difficulty losing weight • Water retention and overall puffiness • Autoimmune issues • Increasing food hypersensitivities • Silent inflammation that can lead to many systemic disorders • Insulin resistance or pre-diabetes

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT BY SEANA WARREN
n 2012, Tony and Emmy Award-winning actress Kristin Chenoweth came home to Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. While she was driving around with friends, she asked if they could drive by the home where she grew up. The new owner was in the front yard and welcomed them into his home, but there was a problem. His daughter, a huge fan of Kristin, wasn’t home to meet her. He led a tour around the house and Kristin made a special stop in her childhood bedroom to take a peek; but, she couldn’t leave without writing a special note for the little girl with whom she now shares a little bit of her childhood. During that same trip, Kristin was home to perform a benefit concert for the Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center. The theater was named after her at that concert. She was so moved, she sat down to talk about what she could give back to her home town. “It all started at a kitchen table following the concert,” said Mark Frie, Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center executive director. “We talked with Kristin about what her legacy would be. She wanted to impact the next generation of artists in Oklahoma.” Four friends joined together to create The Kristin Chenoweth Fund. The group is made up of Kristin, Mark Frie, and John Sawyer and Jack Wallace, partners and realtors at Chinowth & Cohen.

“No matter if they decide to grow up to be an actor, a banker or a lawyer, theater can help every one be better communicators and better speakers. I know theater has helped me in every aspect of my life,” said Jack Wallace. The Kristin Chenoweth Fund will exclusively run this year’s Broadway Boot Camp June 12-16. Guest stars leading the camp with Kristin are Richard Jay Alexander, Broadway Director and Producer for Kristin; Mary Mitchell Campbell Drama Desk Award-winner for Orchestration; Faith Prince, Tony Award-winning Best Actress and film and television star; Joel Ferrel, Dallas Theatre Center Director; and Lara Teeter, Tony-nominated Broadway actor. “This is making a tremendous
impact on area youth. It’s helping shape their lives. I’m honored to be involved,” said Frie. The tuition for the program is $200 per student, but if a student cannot pay for any reason, they are never turned away. Funds are raised from the master class performance and at many of Kristin’s national performances. Kristin will be in town on May 6th performing her Broadway show, “My Love Letter to Broadway”, at 7:30 p.m. at the Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center. The newly selected Broadway Boot Camp students will be introduced during the performance. For tickets to the performances, more information or to donate to the Kristin Chenoweth Fund, please contact the Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center.

A Little Patch
OF HEAVEN
BY ERICA LUDWIG
o you dream of making your own strawberry jam with berries you picked yourself? This April, pack up the family and head to Huldy’s Farm, a family owned and operated berry farm in Inola, about 30 minutes east of Tulsa. “We are on a peaceful patch of land easily accessible from Highway 412,” said Owner Gwen Gay. “If the Good Lord permits, strawberries may be ready mid April with the warmer weather we’ve been having. We’re scheduled to be at the Tulsa Farmers Market April 8 and open for the season on April 10.” This year, Gwen says the farm has 22,000 Strawberry plants, which equals out to about an acre and a half of plants. Each strawberry plant produces about a pound of berries. The farm is prepared to accommodate visitors, with

tables and chairs located near the picking area, folding seats available for a $1 rental fee to use while picking, free bottled water, and portable toilets. Huldy’s welcomes birthday parties and family reunions, and customers are always welcome to bring their own picnic lunches and snacks. After picking, strawberries and blackberries are gently transferred from the picking buckets to cardboard flats, so patrons arrive home with berries intact. Blueberries are sturdier, so they are packaged in food-safe plastic bags when picked by customers and packaged into plastic pint containers when the staff picks them. Gwen’s daughter, Erin, named the farm. Her grandparents had owned a 1955 Chevy Truck named Huldy – a nickname for a woman prophetess briefly mentioned in the Bible named Huldah who was strong in her faith in God. In March 2010, with the help of Erin,

friends, neighbors, and Gwen’s Sunday School Class, the first patch of blueberries were planted. In the following years, Gwen and her husband Gerald added strawberries and blackberries to the farm. During strawberry season, the farm will usually be open Monday through Saturday, from 8 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. Please note that hours can change due to inclement weather and availability of ripe berries, so please call to confirm hours for the day you plan to pick. Blueberries should be ready for picking by mid May, and the blackberries should be ready by early June. By mid-June, the gate will usually close by 1:00 p.m. However, if you want to make an after-hours appointment, Monday through Saturday, please call Gwen to schedule an appointment.
