SETTING THE STANDARD FOR EXTERIOR HOME IMPROVEMENTS

hen it comes to providing homeowners with peaceof-mind about homes protection from water infiltration, impact, and fire, the answer is as easy as ABC. ABC Seamless of Northeast Oklahoma in Chouteau offers superior seamless siding, roofing, guttering, and more, installed by one of the best crews in northeast Oklahoma.

Just ask business owners Ed and Leanna Yoder.

“We can’t say enough good things about our employees,” Yoder said.

“We’ve got the best crews who give our customers great service with a high-quality product, and the best installation around. Offering superior products with superior service is our goal, and our employees are constantly striving to make each project a great experience for every customer.”

Perry Miller and assistant, Chase Byrum. David Knepp and Ethan Meisenheimer handle assorted repair and other jobs, and the marketing director is Nicky Miller.

The idea behind ABC Seamless in Chouteau began in 2013, when Ed was building their house and wanted to use seamless steel siding, however could find no one who installed it locally.

“Ed finally did find an ABC Seamless franchise in Springfield, Missouri, however they wouldn’t come this far to install the siding on our house,” Leanna said. “After further research, Ed fell in love with the products, and decided to join the ABC Seamless family by opening a franchise here in Chouteau in early 2014.”

So successful was the Yoder’s franchise that in 2016, it was recognized as the National Franchise of the Year, earning top honors amongst 100 ABC Seamless franchises.

According to Jerry Byers, president of ABC Seamless: “The National Franchise of the Year award

is our highest honor, praising the franchise’s outstanding accomplishments during the year. It especially recognizes the company and its staff as leading role models for our many other ABC franchisees.

“A franchise like ABC Seamless of Chouteau leads by example, with a proven business method, upstanding work ethic, and a strong entrepreneurial spirit. They have certainly earned the right to be called National Franchise of the Year,” he said.

ABC Seamless of Chouteau owner Ed Yoder said he was honored by the recognition, but gave much of the credit for his success to his employees.

“That was quite an honor,” Ed said.

“To receive the Franchise of the Year award out of 100 franchises in only our third year was a surprise, to say the least, however we owe it all to the awesome guys that work hard every day to give our customers the best experience possible -- before, during, and after every installation process. I’d say we’ve got the best group of installation professionals,

and we definitely couldn’t do it without them.”

ABC Seamless uses heavy-gauge steel siding, which is thicker and stronger than vinyl or aluminum siding, and won’t crack, warp or peel. Also, steel siding minimizes expansion and contraction with extreme temperature changes, and the durability of the product means it doesn’t need to be painted, scraped, or replaced.

Available in a variety of styles and colors, one is sure to meet the needs of your home or business, ABC Seamless offers a lifetime warranty on its seamless steel siding.

“But for as exceptional as the product is, it’s the crew at ABC Seamless that makes the difference.

We’re passionate about what we do because we truly believe we have the best product available installed by the best people available, and all of us love what we do. Our staff has a very, very strong work ethic and are committed to doing the job right, and doing the job right the first time.”

Customer reviews for ABC

Seamless found on Angie’s List support the Yoder’s high praise for their employees: “ABC Seamless gutters did an outstanding installation job. The crew was polite, flexible and checked with me to ensure I was pleased with how things were going during the project and again at the end to ensure I was satisfied. I couldn’t be more pleased.”

“The crew was willing to take suggestions and thoroughly explain what they were doing. We made some small modifications “on the fly” and they easily accommodated them.”

“We had the company to finish our home this past August (we had part of it done by this company back in April). The bottom floor with new soffit and fascia and new guttering for the whole house. They have always done a wonderful job and are very nice folks to deal with. We are very happy with the completed project!”

Sustainable.

Responsible.

Investing.

By Grant J. Goering, AIFÂŽ AVP, Portfolio Manager, RCB Bank

Aligning investments with values.

Values shape behavior.

And the choices we make in life, importan antt especially the really important en linked lin inked to our decisions, are often principles.

Why should shoulld investing inve esting ffor or your your future b e an ny d iffe rent? be any diff erent?

Get$Fit Tip: Invest in the future you want.

There is a growing trend in investing — sustainable, responsible and impact (SRI) investing.

Sustainable investors consciously choose to invest in companies that contribute to advancements in environmental, social and corporate goverance (ESG) practices, e.g., clean tech, labor and human rights, anticorruption policies.

SRI investing has grown 33 percent in the U.S. since 2014. That equates to $8.72 trillion. SRI now accounts for more than one out of every five dollars under professional management, according to the latest SRI trends report, published by The Forum for Sustainable and Responsible Investment Foundation (US SIF).

Research also reveals a positive correlation between SRI strategies and corporate financial performance. A 2017 study conducted by Nuveen TIAA Investments found that investing in SRI strategies did not lead to a decrease in performance or an increase in risk.

The MSCI KLD 400 Social Index, one of the first socially responsible investing indexes, has performed right in line with the S&P 500.

In fact, during the February 2018 market downturn, SRI funds actually outperformed the broad market, according to Morningstar investment research company.

Wondering what impact your investments are making?

Ask your financial advisor for a portfolio review to see if your current investments include SRI companies.

Learn more about SRI at ussif.org, or speak with a financial advisor.

“The Cantina was first introduced at the 2017 fair, and it’s an area set aside for adult fair-goers to catch up with friends, relax in the shade, enjoy an adult beverage and dance,” Rogers said. “At the Cantina, adults may some adult beverages, and one night, we’ll be bringing in dueling pianos to entertain.

everything they can experience at the fair. There’s everything from decorative painting to baking and canning, going back to the roots of what a true county fair is about.”

Fair contests are open to anyone within the county or to members of select organizations within the county, Rogers said.

While fair attendees are predominantly from Rogers County, Rogers said it’s not uncommon for persons to drive from nearby counties to attend the 104-year old event, such as nearby Mayes and Tulsa Counties.

“We basically market to ‘Rogers County plus’, so many of the people who come out every year, which, by our estimation would be in the thousands annually, aren’t even from Claremore or Rogers County, but they go the extra distance to enjoy all the fair here has to offer,” she said.

“There are all these outlying cities who can come to the Rogers County to enjoy all the sights, sounds, and

things to do at a fair, without having to spend as much as they might, if they were to go to the state fair. The Rogers County Fair is very much a more economical alternative for those who want to enjoy everything that a fair has to offer, but might be more restricted in their resources.”

But being more economical hardly means the Rogers County Fair offers anything less than what fair-lovers have come to expect.

Outside the Claremore Expo grounds, attendees can enjoy a variety of carnival rides, many of which are appropriate for the youngest fair-goers, food options, entertainment, but inside the Expo Center, more fun awaits.

“Inside the Expo hall are the exhibits, but we’ll also feature handcrafted vendor items, so we’ll have our own little ‘County Square Market’ set up, where you can buy everything from toffee to hand-crafted goods by local artisans, all based on small businesses either from the county or

the area,” she said.

And of course, animals.

“The indoor arena will have everything from chickens and rabbits to goats, cows, pigs -- all of these will be showing that week,” she said.

As in previous years, members of 4-H and FFA chapters will be hosting exhibits and displays in crops and horticulture, FFA Agri-Science, Fine Arts, Flower Division, Open Class Home Economics, Rogers County Home & Community Education Department, and Ag Mechanics.

So, whether you’re a veteran of county fairs or it’s your first time, there’s plenty to see and do in Claremore this September at the annual Rogers County Fair.

The 2018 Rogers County Fair will be held on the grounds of the Claremore Expo Center at 400 Veterans Parkway in Claremore.

tarting in 2022 it will be possible to ask for the beloved’s hand in marriage while flying over the lunar surface to the sound of Franck Sinatra’s “Fly Me to the Moon”. The one-week interplanetary flight will be carried out using a self-contained and autonomous spacecraft allowing the two lovers to travel alone.

The ApoteoSurprise agency (ProposeinParis.com), a French marriage proposal planner specialized in creating extravagant proposals, introduces a whole new service for 145 million dollars which will allow 21st century handsome princes to propose to their beloved while flying around the Moon.

Reaching for the Moon in the name of love is about to become a reality, the ultimate goal of the Paris-based agency being to “stage the craziest and most outstanding marriage

proposal of the last 13.8 billion years“.

From March 2022, elite lovers will be able to book the allincluded service on the site www. proposeinparis.com and five months later find themselves enjoying the following program: • Twelve weeks of pre-requisite technical and physical training.

• Takeoff on D-Day from the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.

• Richard Strauss’s “Thus spoke Zarathustra, Op.30” (Theme from 2001 Space Odyssey) resounding in the two space tourists’ helmets when the first effects of weightlessness are felt.

• Arrival in lunar orbit, three days later, flying over the satellite’s grayish surface at only 200/300 kilometers altitude.

• Cut-off of all communication with Earth for around thirty

minutes while the capsule flies over the dark side of the Moon.

• The Frank Sinatra song “Fly Me to the Moon” played halfway through the orbital flight, allowing the suitor to make his marriage proposal far from any form of human life (engagement ring secretly hidden in his spacesuit).

• A spectacular Earth-rise seen from behind the lunar craters and return trip of nearly four days before atmospheric re-entry and final touchdown.

The flight-plan followed by the space capsule will mirror that of the mythical Apollo 8 mission in 1968.

The spacecraft, traveling at a speed of up to 38,000 km/h, will be equipped with eight cameras allowing the couple to immortalize their entry into the history of the conquest of space and the conquest… of love!

Last picture is you holding a ring with the words, “Will You Marry Me”.

• CANDLE LIGHT AND ROSES: Turn off all the lights in your apartment and make a trail of candles that leads to a circle of votive positioned around the ring.

• FITTING TOGETHER : Have a custom jigsaw puzzle made with your picture and the words “Marry me?” On a rainy day, suggest this activity, and when you’ve finished enough that you can clearly see the photo and read the words, it’s time to propose! (Hint: This works well with Scrabble too.)

• PHOTO SHOOT: Hire a photographer to capture your proposal, but tell your partner you’ve won a romantic couple’s photo shoot. Get dressed up and then

propose mid-shoot, and follow it up with a romantic engagement shoot.

ROMANCE IN BLOOM: Take your love to a flower or botanical garden when everything is in bloom. While surrounded by the beauty go down on one knee and ask those precious words, “Will You Marry Me”.

PICNIC SURPRISE : Have a friend or family member set up a picnic— complete with wine and cheese, of course—for you in a park. Then come up with an excuse for taking a hike where you’ll stumble upon this surprise proposal picnic.

FAMILY CELEBRATION : Have your proposal in a park, with friends and family a safe distance away. Once you’ve proposed, have everyone show up for an impromptu celebration.

MOVIE TIME : Create your OWN movie trailer and then have a local theater play it… with your love in the audience along with family and friends.

• TREASURE : For those that are geocaching enthusiasts, the ring could be “buried” and the proposal could be set to find the treasure.

• HUNT : Send your love on a scavenger hunt. Start with a clue at home, then send out on a tour of your favorite spots all over town. As the last hint is reached, the prize will be you on one knee. Take the scavenger hunt hightech: Send your love a text message leading to a secret spot. Keep the hunt going with text messages of sweet nothings along the way (and directions, of course) as you lead her to you, on bended knee.

• HOT AIR BALLOON : Nothing spells romantic like soaring in the clouds above and dropping down on one knee to propose to the one you love. A hot air balloon ride is a timeless romantic move that will leave your one true love in awe of you.

THE SPY SHOP FEATURES DEVICES FOR MOST EVERY CONCERN

BY TERESA BOND-MASON

A

t one time, it was only James Bond who could use his watch to spy on the evildoings of those around him. But thanks to The Spy Shop, located in the Fontana Shopping Center at 51st and Memorial, those fantasies have now become reality.

“Technology has advanced so much, that it’s become much easier to protect not only our belongings, but the people in our lives who matter,” says Larry Ferguson, owner of The Spy Shop. Larry, who started out as a private investigator, also has a background as a security consultant

and police officer. “It just evolved into this business because I enjoy helping people solve their safety and security problems.”

Larry says that in the world of ever-changing technology, people easily get overwhelmed and that is one big advantage of The Spy Shop over buying gear from an internet shop. “Each product we sell has been tested by my staff to make sure it works as it’s intended to. I want to be able to explain it to the customer, not just sell the latest gadget.” Keeping up on the spy gear also takes dedication on Larry’s part. It’s a constant

learning process of attending seminars, obtaining certificates and learning about the newest products coming out on the market.

What are some of these gadgets you’re wondering? All products are user friendly, yet innovative and range from outlets, tissue boxes, flower arrangements and coffee pots with hidden cameras to bug detectors you can carry in your bag so you’ll always know if there is a hidden camera around. Need to retrieve deleted text messages from a phone from nine months ago? Not a problem, Larry’s got the equipment

that can easily do the trick. There are GPS trackers of course, which one may think is pointless with the cell phones most of us carry. But, what about elderly parents who may not have a cell phone. Or, you may be concerned someone is tracking you with a GPS. No worries, The Spy Shop has a GPS jammer.

“When a lot of these items came out, people automatically thought of nanny-cams,” explains Larry.

“However, you can make sure your house is safe, your pets are ok, your parents are being treated well in a nursing home . . . there are all sorts

of uses. It’s really like insurance and it keeps people accountable.”

Besides assisting the public with safety concerns, The Spy Shop also caters to commercial businesses.

Unlike some alarm companies, who insist on bundling their products, The Spy Shop specializes in using Larry’s 30 plus years of knowledge and only installs security equipment necessary for the space. And, The Spy Shop never adds monthly fees.

An additional advantage to this local company is the information provided on its Facebook page. “We do a lot more than just advertise,”

Extend Microphone for Wildlife listening devices and recorders boasts Larry. “We really want it to be an extra service we provide to people by offering safety tips, trends and news stories in the community that may affect people’s overall safety.”

The Spy Shop is opened Monday through Friday from 10AM to 6PM. Orders also can be placed on the internet and either shipped or picked up in the store at spyshoptulsa.com. Or, give Larry a call at 918-283-4779.

RESTAURANT OF THE MONTH

F

or those who want fine home cooking in a unique town, Angie’s Circus Diner is for you! Beginning, almost twenty years ago, Randy & Angie Cooke started their southern cooking diner in Hugo, Oklahoma, aka, Circus City. They are well known for their southern comfort foods, meatloaf, fried catfish and chicken fried steaks. They serve daily specials everyday!

Angie also serves mouthwatering cobblers, pies and cakes.

Circus City all began in 1937 when Al G. Kelly Miller Bros. Circus began spending the winters in Hugo. Vernon Pratt, a local Hugo businessman and one who loved the circus, went to Mena, Arkansas to talk to Obert Miller, the owner of the Al G. Kelly Miller Bros. Circus. He offered to house the circus in Hugo and Miller accepted his offer. That is when Circus City, USA was born.

Since that time there have been 22 different circuses that have lived in Circus City! Some of the more recent circuses have been Carson & Barnes, Kelly Miller and Culpepper & Merriweather.

The fine southern dining in a city rich with unique history, makes this diner one of our favorites! It is truly worth the drive!

he Made in Oklahoma Coalition, founded in the year 2000, is a group of 70+ Oklahoma food manufacturers, growers and producers dedicated to promoting brand awareness for Oklahoma made food and beverage products.

After over a decade of raising awareness for made in Oklahoma products, The MIO Coalition recognized that consumers in our state not only want to shop for local products at the grocery store, but they also want to support the Oklahoma restaurants that incorporate locally produced food and beverage items into their menu’s. Thus, in an effort to make this information more readily available to Oklahoma consumers the MIO Restaurant Program was born.

The Restaurant of the Month promotion was implemented to provide additional support and recognition to MIO restaurant members that go above and beyond the baseline requirements for membership by offering a robust selection of MIO products to their patrons. After 38 |
