Remodeling Just Got Premium Cabinets Austin Gullic will show you how to create the right kitchen cabinetry without sacrificing style and functionality. BY CHRISTY STEPHENS

hen planning your kitchen or bath remodel, one of the most important considerations is to know exactly what you want. That’s mainly because that decision affects the entire flow of your project. When you don’t know exactly what you want you will drive contractors crazy, drain time and increase expenses. Premium Cabinets of Tulsa, are here to help you with undoubtedly the most important part of your kitchen remodeling decision – the cabinetry. Properly designed cabinetry is key to the overall function of your kitchen. As a family owned and operated business, they specialize in helping both individuals and contractors with all-wood cabinetry at the best value, without cutting corners. They feature the latest styles, colors, and hardware

for your design specifications. Specializing in high quality cabinet replacement, Premium Cabinets of Tulsa always goes the extra mile to ensure that they are fully connecting with their customers to obtain the desired results, whether it is to update the interior presence of their home, increasing storage space, supplying a more maneuverable room, or a combination of these needs. And once individuals have decided on renovation, timeliness is always a factor. “Every project does indeed have a different timeline; our access to materials is actually greater than most; we’re still very well stocked in materials we need to complete the job,” says Austin Gullic, owner of Premium Cabinets of Tulsa. “Turnaround time used to be four to six weeks from

initial inquiry to delivery; now it’s closer to eight to 12 weeks, although that is not a specific, as every order is different. Demand is at an all-time high. We’ve seen other companies be as far as 28 weeks out, on average, and we are able to deliver product ahead of our competitors.” Owner Austin Gullic established his company with his father in 2010 and has steadily earned a solid reputation of reliability and quality product and work. Many choices of wood cabinetry styles and color schemes are available to choose from and find just the right look to achieve the new appearance of your home. To further aid in this goal, Premium Cabinets offers a free 3D design tour, giving customers an immediate visual of their desired project outcome. “We’re actually one of the first people

t Easier to allow virtual reality,” states Gullic. “People can put on an oculus and walk through a full size, 3D version of their kitchen. “It’s very exciting as the technology grows, for people that are visual. It’s hard to see your own space objectively as you have used it through time. The 3D helps clarify what we believe is a good idea versus what actually fits the space.” One of the greatest advantages of any company is the love of the business that the owner has for his design and construction. “I love taking people’s ideas and creating something that is real, that is what they consider reality altering,” Gullic emphasized. “I love helping clients create that dream; and making it come true.”

MWP Cleaning Ser Leaders in Residential Cleaning, Sanitation, Decontamination BY TOM FINK

year after founding Midwest Pathogend Services – a leader in whole-space disinfection and decontamination services – Midwest Pathogend Services decided to bring their specialized brand of cleaning services to residential spaces. “We’ve been doing high-end disinfection for the past year – hotels, businesses, schools, and other large spaces, etc., but throughout the pandemic, more and more people started reaching out to us – residences – to ask if we did

‘cleaning-type’ services,” says Chuck Peeples. “That seemed like a natural progression for us, so we created an offshoot of the main company, creating a new business, MWP (Midwest Pathogend) Cleaning Services.” Chris Schultheis, who had spent the last 20 years in the healthcare industry and Life Sciences area learned three years ago about a then-newly developed technology developed by a microbiologist, which, combined with a seven percent Hydrogen Peroxide fogging formula

called CURoxide provided his customers the most comprehensive decontamination possible. As MWP owners, Schultheis and Peeples retain the same knowledge base, thoroughness, and professionalism previously utilized at Midwest Pathogend into the residential market, while expanding their services offered to best serve their new customers. “Whether it’s move-ins and move-outs, routine cleaning, postconstruction cleaning, we offer a wide variety of residential cleaning services for most spaces,” he said. “Several of our employees – we have six in all, at this point – come from a housekeeping or janitorial background,” Peeples added. “For example, our Left: Whether you have very valuable heirloom or collector’s pieces, or a less valuable garage sale find, your MWP Professional Cleaning Specialist is trained to give special care when cleaning your décor.

Vintage Market Days® Celebrates 10 Years of Success in Tulsa Owner’s passion for vintage evolves into franchise with markets in 25 states

BY ANGI BRUSS

hat started out as a fun hobby has created 10 years of success on a scale larger than Dianna Brown could have imagined. Brown is the owner and co-founder of Vintage Market Days, an upscale, vintage-inspired, indoor/outdoor market. Ten years ago, Vintage Market Days started oﬀ in a pumpkin patch, quickly outgrew that space, and made its way to downtown Tulsa. It ultimately ended up in the Creek County Fairgrounds. During the last 10 years, Vintage Market Days has created a franchise with almost 60 territories in 25 diﬀerent states. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Vintage Market Days, www.vintagemarketdays.com/market/ tulsa, the Tulsa event “Let’s Eat Cake” will be held April 29 - May 1, 2022. Brown said she’s always loved vintage, even as a child. And her family has embraced her love for vintage as well. “It has completely transformed not

only my life but so many others,” Brown explained. “For me, it allows me to make a living while doing something I absolutely would be doing anyway. My entire family has been involved in the event from day one. The boys and my husband load furniture and park cars, and my daughter takes tickets. They help set up the event and tear down when it’s over.” About 100 vendors are involved in Tulsa’s upcoming Vintage Market Days, and more than 40,000 vendors are a part of the national franchise. Brown said almost all of them rely on the income they make from Vintage Market Days. Vendors like Kim McGee, who owns Okie Chic with her sisters and best friend. McGee said, “Okie Chic has been with Vintage Market Days since the very ﬁrst event and hasn’t missed one. We always have great sales there and it has never let us down. Since we are mostly all handcrafted it takes us months to prepare.”

Vendors at the upcoming Vintage Market Days sell a wide variety of goods including antiques, clothing, handmade jewelry, home decor, original art, floral and garden, home and body fragrance, textile, and outdoor furnishings. There will also be food trucks and snack vendors. The market is family-friendly with fun activities for children including balloons, face painting, and fun temporary tattoos. There will also be live music during the event. Partnering with a non-profit is something Vintage Market Days has done from the beginning. For this event, the non-profit partner is Branch 15-Eastern Oklahoma. Branch 15 provides Christcentered housing with individualized care and support for women on their paths to recovery. Branch 15 will receive a donation at the end of the event. Brown said, “It means the world to me to be celebrating 10 years with Vintage Market Days. My love for this business and all the individuals involved is very real and is something that has forever changed me.” Vintage Market Days will be held at the Creek County Fairgrounds located at 17808 W. Highway 66 in Kellyville, OK. Tickets for April 29-30 are $10 and tickets for May 1 are $5. Children 12 and under are always free. Hours are 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Tickets are available online and at the door.

No Bull: Mutton Busting is a Crowd Pleaser at Will Rogers Stampede Rodeo BY TOM FINK

hen it comes to rodeo fun, there’s nuttin’ like mutton. At the upcoming Will Rogers Stampede Rodeo, young cowboys and cowgirls who qualify will get the chance to test their mettle at this wild and woolly – very woolly – fan favorite event. But what IS mutton busting? “Mutton busting is simple: children between the ages of 4 and 7 years old clamber aboard a wild sheep and try to hold on for six seconds,” explained Tanya Andrews, Visit Claremore. “It’s a fun, and safe, recreation of bull riding – another rodeo staple – that’s so much fun for the kids and the family members watching them try to catch and hang onto, or even ride, the sheep.” But not just anyone can bust a mutton. Only the best of the flock are selected for this safe-but-challenging event. “The qualifier (for mutton busting) is sponsored by Mid-America Feeds, and will be at 1 p.m. on Sunday, May 1, at the Cowboy Gathering Church in

18 |

Talala,” Andrews said.“In years past, in rodeo history, mutton busting was all the rage for the kids – and of course, for the parents and the grandparents who would come to watch. “But the event got so popular over the years – when you have 75-100 entries, it’s really hard to get them all in before the rodeo performance starts,” she continued. “So, we started hosting a qualifier, of which, the top 45 contestants will perform at the rodeo. Those performances are split up over the three nights (of the rodeo), so there are 15 (performances) each night.” Andrews said the event helps involve children and make them feel like they’re a more active part of the rodeo, with small cash prizes going to the top mutton busters. Additional entertainment will be provided in the form of a calf scramble, sponsored by Carrie Robinson, The Ross Team and Pembrook Reality, the One Armed Bandit John Payne, and Bobby Reid, who literally drops in on all the action.

VALUE NEWS OWASSO & COLLINSVILLE APRIL 2022 WWW.VALUENEWS.COM

“Bobby (Reid) is a ‘jumper’ – he jumps out of a plane,” Andrews said. “He was here last year and did a fabulous job – he flies over (rodeo grounds) in a plane and jumps out with a parachute while carrying the American flag. He comes in right after the national anthem is sung – it’s a great thing to see.” Prior to the beginning of this year’s rodeo, there will be a steer roping event in honor of the longtime rodeo advocate and promoter, the late Clem McSpadden. “It will just be steer roping Thursday night (May 26), which will give contestants a chance to compete outside of the normal dates scheduled for the rodeo – it’s a large contestant pool – we have numerous entrants who come in just for the steer roping,” Andrews said. “So that will allow time for other timed events, such as the timed events, during the rodeo itself.” All competitors at the rodeo are Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association-certified. Mutton Bustin begins at 7 p.m. with the PRCA-sanctioned events to begin at 8 p.m. each night. The 76th annual Will Rogers Stampede PRCA Rodeo will be held Memorial weekend, from Friday, May 27, through Sunday, May 29, at Stampede Park, 13601 E. 480 Road in Claremore. This year, Visit Claremore is partnering with Claremore Main Street and the Claremore Chamber of Commerce to host the Boots on the Boulevard food truck night Thursday, May 26, from 6-9 p.m. with activities for children, including a mechanical bull, live music, a street dance and more.

Pocahontas Club Brings Annual Old-F Picnic Back to the Will Rogers Birthp BY TOM FINK

n America, there are few things more traditional than the family picnic. This May, the members of the Indian Women’s Pocahontas Club are bringing back one of their own traditions with the annual “Old Fashioned Picnic” in northeast Oklahoma – and the public is invited. “The (Old Fashioned) picnic is an event that’s been happening ever since the Pocahontas Club was founded in 1899, when picnics were the social gatherings of the day,” said Ollie Starr, longtime Pocahontas Club member. “As our club members are caretakers of the (Cherokee) culture, heritage and communities, we’ve continued to have this picnic every year, as it’s become one of our many traditions.” Left: (L-R) Secretary Linda Coleman, Vice President Monta Ewing, President Celeste Tillery

Fashioned place Ranch Starr said the first picnic – which originally included a dance – was first held in Talala, but over time, the location was changed to the Will Rogers Birthplace Ranch in nearby Oologah. “The Birthplace Ranch is a perfect fit for this picnic since Will Rogers himself was both a Cherokee and an early member of the club,” she said. “Our club has been holding this event from the very beginning, but this year, we’re going to be partnering with the Will Rogers Memorial and the Cherokee Nation to make this (picnic) even better.” Gates at the Birthplace Ranch are scheduled to open at 9 a.m. when the traditional hog fry and cooking also will begin on site. “I’ve been going to these (picnics) for at least 15 years, and each one is always a little different, so even if you’ve been to one in the past, there’s something new to see and do each time,” Starr said. “For

Expert Advice for a More Energy Efficient Home BY KATHY SMITH

lder homes can be made more energy efficient with smart upgrades that result in lower utility bills, and added benefits of increasing the value, comfort and beauty of your home. Investing in your home’s exterior, windows, attic, and roof are all environmentally-friendly improvements with energy-saving payoffs. Millennials (in 2022 ages 25 and 40 years) are one of the largest home buying segments today. They are economical and are ecological-minded purchasers whose buying decisions rest on energy efficiency to save money and leave a lower carbon footprint. Community Builders, Inc. is a local team who provides answers to your home energy efficiency needs. Owner Greg Wolter started Community Builders, Inc. in his bedroom in the early 1980s. By 1990, they had moved into a building, and nearly every year since then, have seen steady growth in sales. Starting with siding, the company has expanded over the years to its now all-inclusive specialty home improvement services including windows, roofing, bathrooms, sunrooms, insulation, gutters and doors. “My passion for this company is two-fold. First, I want to see the people that work here improve their lives… We constantly talk about how we can become better human beings. And then, we want to make sure we take care of our customers and that they get a good value,” Wolter said. Windows, doors, and insulation are three areas where minor change can make a major impact. In fact, Community

Builders, Inc. has helped customers reduce their utility costs by 50 percent, just by upgrading windows and insulation. Their energy efficient products include EnviroView replacement windows, Green Energy Barrier radiant insulation, Cedar Ridge composite siding, and insulated 26 gauge steel metal roofing. They offer seven styles of windows, and each are installed with a low-e coating and airtight seal, giving them heightened ability to keep hot air out during the summer, and in during the winter. Their doors are durable, high quality and high performance. Also installed with a customfit to make an airtight seal, a door from Community Builders, Inc. will stop drafts and reduce your energy bills. They use energy-barrier material in their insulation, which reflects heat energy, instead of merely slowing down its absorption. Wolter said, “Think of insulation like a sponge. Eventually, a sponge gets saturated and can’t soak anything else in. Insulation is the same way, it blocks for a while, then gets full and doesn’t do any good. If you can reflect that energy off of it, the insulation works better for a longer period of time. That’s what the energy-barrier material does.” What do you think pollutes the most? A plane? A train? A car? Or, a house? “Most people think it’s a car, but it’s your house,” Wolter said. “Your house pollutes the environment more than anything else. If we can improve the efficiency of a home, then we also reduce the carbon footprint, which of course

is good for everybody… Good for the pocketbook, good for the consumer, and good for the value of the home.” Wolter said his greatest desire is to serve his customers well, and make sure they make a wise decision that’s the best fit for them. He recommends only making the energy-efficient upgrades if it makes financial sense to do so. “We want to make sure we take care of our customers, and that they get a good value,” Wolter said, “We’re not perfect, but we are pretty darn good.” Community Builders, Inc. has a heart for helping locally and internationally. Overseas, they’ve built a school in Peru, where they feed children every day and a chapel in Thailand, where they help rescue children out of human trafficking. In addition, they help support Habitat for Humanity, as well as food banks in Bulgaria and Macedonia. Contact Community Builders to find out more about energy-saving options for your home.

Viewers look at pictures Framing around the subject. sequentially. That means they take in elements one at a time while their eyes move around the image. Photographers can take photos that purposely plan where the viewers’ eyes move. One way to do that is to use a technique called leading lines. Use an element that provides a line – a railroad track, a path, a road or a fence line – to guide the viewers’ eyes to the focal point. Don’t leave them with leading lines only that line is like the bridge that leads to nowhere. Instead place Leading lines the subject, to subject.
