uly 2021: It is said that home is where the heart is, but finding the house of your dreams, and following through the stressful process of buying, takes working with a real estate agent that genuinely has the heart for it.

Tonya Jarvis isn’t just in the real estate industry, she’s in the business of building friendships.

Since 2016, she has strived to provide her clients with a higher level of service as an awardwinning, RE/MAX REALTOR that truly cares about the needs and wishes of those she serves. It is her commitment to her own family and values that compels her and also separates her from others in her field.

“I went into this business with a helpful spirit, and I wanted to build friendships with these people who were trusting me with one of the biggest steps they’re going to make for their family,”

so that there is nothing unexpected.”

Through her work, Tonya found that she had a genuine passion for helping other people.

“My success in real estate has allowed me to share with others and to give back in a way I wasn’t able to do before,” she said. “I take pride in being able to do things outside of that, whatever that looks like; whether buying books, or contributing to Big Brothers and Big Sisters.” One of her passion projects is an annual blood drive held in the RE/MAX office, with the third one coming up in September of this year. In December of last year, Tonya

“I went into this business with a helpful spirit, and I wanted to build friendships with these people who were trusting me with one of the biggest steps they’re going to make for their family.” she said. “That level of trust and transparency, in the beginning, is super critical.” With so many moving parts to buying a home, a REALTOR is there to help navigate the journey and maneuver through each step and ensure that all of the difficult details come together seamlessly. “My motto is start to close with TJ,” said Tonya. “I like to spend as much time as possible with my buyers to explain the process, the positives and the negatives that can be expected,

sponsored 80 children and adults in the Angel Tree. The Salvation Army said it was one of the largest 2020 contributions from an individual.

The greatest driving force behind her success and ambition is, and has always been her children. “I grew up with very young parents, and I watched them struggle and scrape by, but my parents worked very hard, and that made a big impact on me,” she said. “I’m grateful to be able to

do more for my own kids, but set a good example for them to do the work to get what they want.”

As a top agent, Tonya has received many accolades and high reviews, but her greatest satisfaction is the knowledge of the efforts she invested to get there. “It’s very important that at the end of the day we leave with a friendship and that if anyone else was going to buy a home, I would be the first name that came out of their mouth,” said Tonya. “I’m just a different kind of REALTOR; I put more of my heart in it.”

Who Makes the Best Cabinets for the Money?

It pays to remember Premium Cabinets of Tulsa during your kitchen remodeling process.

BY MACY GOODNIGHT

J

uly 2021: Home is where the heart is, and the kitchen is the heart of the home. Just as food nurtures the mind, body and soul… the kitchen is the place where meals are prepared with love, on-the-go and for snack time. People gather there during parties and gatherings for conversation, taste tests and memorymaking. For all these reasons your kitchen cabinets are one of the most important choices when renovating.

Your cabinetry should provide the perfect balance of function, style and inspiration.

Established in 2004, Premium Cabinets of Tulsa has built a strong

reputation for providing their customers with high quality cabinetry while maintaining affordability.

Premium Cabinets of Tulsa is locally owned and family-operated.

“My dad and I started the company.

Now it’s a whole new generation with me, my wife and kids,” said Austin Gullic. You’ll enjoy dozens of choices of wood cabinetry styles and colors for kitchens and bathrooms.

Design assistance is also provided.

The importance of design and planning cannot be underestimated.

It is key to making your space user-friendly for you and your family. They will help you with all the details including the ones sometimes overlooked. “As my family has grown, so has my

grasp on optimizing family spaces. I have training and understanding of kitchens, and my family has given me an even greater appreciation for the heart of the home.”

Premium Cabinets of Tulsa enables clients to preview their visions using a 3D tour. From start to finish, a project can be completed within two to three months. As their cabinets are completely finished before installation, time spent without use of the space is minimal, and there are no dangerous fumes. Appointments for consultations are preferred, so that each client receives one-on-one personal attention.

Many other cabinetry businesses were unable to weather the storm of the past year, but Premium Cabinets of Tulsa survived successfully, with

a 30 percent increase in sales. Austin attributes their growth to the quality they provide. “Our reviews and our reputation are what made us so successful,” he said. “We are really grateful for the respect of our clients and their referrals; and we are truly blessed and proud of what we’ve been able to create and continue to grow.”

Premium Cabinets of Tulsa’s designs can be an enhancement not only in kitchen and bath but can extend to

built-ins for entertainment centers and around fireplaces, or storage in game rooms, and even wine cabinets.

There are endless possibilities to increase the organizational flow within a home.

One of the things that Austin loves the most about his work, is sitting with his clients and getting into the needs and wishes at the heart of the design. “I live by an attitude of gratitude,” he said. “I, and my staff,

love making each client feel special.

We think it’s cool to turn someone’s dreams and ideas into reality.”

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), all chimneys should be cleaned at least once every year. Keeping your chimney clean helps prevent home fires—it’s as simple as that. When you burn a fire in your fireplace, two things happen: Chimney soot builds up, as well as creosote, which is a heavy, thick, oily residue similar to tar that’s a byproduct of burning wood. While soot is more easily removable, creosote sticks to the chimney lining, which can be dangerous because it’s extremely flammable.

and it is their passion to give back to this community,” said Amber Hinkle, Broken Arrow Chamber Event Manager.

“They know how much the Broken Arrow community supports them and they donate all of the ice cream for this absolutely amazing fun, family event.”

Many of the volunteers for the event are employees of Blue Bell as well.

The newly added Get Active Zone sponsored by Camp Gladiator will provide fun activities for kids, including soccer, jumping rope, bike riding and other sports, to help youth find active and healthy interests they can connect with. “We highly encourage you to eat all the ice cream you want, but we also know it’s super important to keep our kids and ourselves active,” said Amber.

Pics with Police will give everyone an opportunity to mingle with the Broken Arrow PD, and view the new police cars that will be on display. “You might catch one of the officers and get a quick selfie with them!” Amber said.

Taste of Summer is one of many festivals in Broken Arrow, enriching the lives of the citizens that live there, and encouraging people from all over to visit. There is something for everyone.

“The Broken Arrow Chamber is really event heavy, as we do so many different events,” Amber said. “All of our work is charged with the overall quality of life of our citizens.” Increased traffic means more for business and economical development. “It’s so important to have these types of events to promote a robust city and community, and it really gives us a warm and fuzzy feeling to see people making lifelong memories.”

Today’s Science: Solutions for Back Pain What is Kyphoplasty?

Does it Relieve Chronic Back Pain?

Why are Vertebral Compression Fractures (VCF) important?

A vertebral compression fracture is often the first sign of osteoporosis, but they are usually missed by imaging. For example, 86% of VCFs are missed on advanced CT. VCFs are also associated with high rates of death if left untreated. A recent analysis of the entire Medicare data set showed that for patients with a VCF, only 15% will survive 10 years. However, the same analysis showed that kyphoplasty more than doubles the survival rate of these patients.

What is Kyphoplasty?

• • • • •

Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that quickly repairs vertebral compression fractures (VCF) and restores structural integrity to broken vertebral bone. Kyphoplasty is an outpatient procedure that uses a cavity creation device (usually a balloon) to create a space in the broken vertebra which is then filled with a special bone cement to stabilize the fracture and reduce pain.

How does Kyphoplasty help?

The goal of kyphoplasty is to restore the broken vertebra to a more normal height and to fix the pain caused by the fracture. When a vertebral fracture occurs, it most commonly presents as an acute worsening of chronic lower back pain. Many times the patient’s chronic back pain is getting worse, but it’s actually due to a recent fracture. Many of our patients experience immediate pain relief following kyphoplasty. It can help relieve pain by stabilizing the fracture. Improved mobility results because of decreased pain levels.

What happens during the Kyphoplasty procedure?

• Needle Placement - Under IV sedation and using x-ray guidance, a

pencil-sized needle is placed through a small (quarter-inch) incision and a working channel is made in the fractured vertebral body.

Cavity Created – A balloon is generally used to create a space and to reduce the fracture to more anatomic alignment.

Devices Removed – The balloon is deflated, leaving a cavity in the vertebral body.

Fracture Stabilized – The cavity is filled with bone cement to stabilize the fracture. Once filled, the incision is closed.

End of Procedure – With the process completed, an internal cast is now in place. This stabilizes the vertebral body and provides rapid mobility and pain relief.

The procedure takes about 30 minutes and has a short recovery time, usually a couple of days for most patients.

After Kyphoplasty

Patients treated with balloon kyphoplasty have significantly better outcomes in terms of pain reduction, quality of life, function and mobility both initially at one month, and throughout the months and years after treatment. 94% have complete or significant pain reduction and 67% have improved mobility. While kyphoplasty is highly effective for improving mobility and decreasing pain in patients with spinal fractures, it does not treat the underlying osteoporosis itself.

It’s important for your doctor to treat the underlying bone disease (osteoporosis) causing the fractures. This decreases the risk of future fractures and generally makes spinal fractures less frequent.

Kyphoplasty vs. Vertebroplasty

Kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty are both medical procedures designed to treat pain associated with vertebral compression fractures. The main difference is vertebroplasty does not create a cavity and there is higher likelihood of cement leakage. Kyphoplasty has a significantly lower complication rate compared to verteboplasty and more than doubles the 10-year survival rate in patients over 65.

Dr. Webb – Kyphoplasty Expert When it comes to kyphoplasty, Dr. Webb is one of the most experienced physicians in the US. Dr. Webb has performed thousands of kyphoplasty procedures and has the experience necessary to safely perform kyphoplasty. In fact, he also teaches other physicians how to safely and effectively perform the procedure. Here are a few facts about Dr. Webb’s kyphoplasty expertise: • He performed over 120 kyphoplasties during his training (fellowship).

• Was one of the first physicians to perform kyphoplasty in Oklahoma.

• Was a principal investigator in the EVOLVE trial,

Dr. James Webb Specializes in Helping Complex Back Pain O

steoporosis can be as deadly as heart disease. In the 1980s, the disease was naturally considered a normal process of aging. As medicine evolved, it became evident that Osteoporosis was connected to fractures. Today, medicine shows that not everyone with Osteoporosis has low bone density and people can have ‘fragility fractures’ as a result of the disease’s progression.

“There are thousands of doctors who do kyphoplasty in the U.S. and very few actually treat the underlying osteoporosis. As an interventional musculoskeletal radiologist, there are very few of us who actually focus on treating osteoporosis and not just fixing fractures. I was the first in Oklahoma to have a free standing clinic focused on treating osteoporosis, not just the fractures with kyphoplasty, but medically treating the underlying osteoporosis.

There are probably less than 20 doctors around the country that I know that do this to the high degree that we do,” explained Dr. Webb.

Though the majority of

Above: Dr. James Webb.

Osteoporosis patients are over 60, he has treated patients as young as 18, and many in their 30s. He is helping drive research for vertebral fractures.

Dr. Webb is offering free bone density scans to qualified patients to improve access to care as well as raise awareness of the disease.

“I really wanted to offer free screening to all patients who needed it--to raise awareness of bone health and to give back to this community that has been so supportive of us.”

“Most people hear the word ‘osteoporosis’ and they think of a ninety-year-old grandmother with a hip fracture.

Unfortunately, problems with bone health can impact younger patients and it also affects men.” Webb said.

“Like heart disease or a stroke,

VALUE NEWS ROGERS COUNTY JULY 2021 WWW.VALUENEWS.COM

people think it can’t happen to them until it’s too late. Fractures from bad bone health are a common cause of misdiagnosed back pain. If you’re concerned about your bone health, or you have back pain that no one has been able to help, give us a call.”

Interested participants should call the Dr. James Webb & Associates office at 918-260-9322 for a prescreening. Priority will be given to those who have fallen and broken a bone, have a family history of osteoporosis, or take certain medications proven to reduce bone density. Pre-screening is needed to make sure that the test is medically indicated as well as to avoid regulatory hurdles.

“I really wanted to offer free screening to all patients who needed it--to raise awareness of bone health and to give back to this community that has been so supportive of us,” Webb says. “Unfortunately, government and insurance regulations actually won’t allow us to do that, so our focus is really for uninsured patients who need bone density testing”

Osteoporosis occurs when the body’s bones become weak from low bone density, low bone quality, or both.

As a result, bones become weak and may break from a fall or, in serious cases, from something as slight as sneezing or minor bumps. Most often, osteoporosis is a silent killer until a fracture occurs.

“There is hope for slowing down and even reversing the effects of bad bone health,” said Webb.

“The key is to catch it as early as possible and then treat it medically to reduce the risk of future fractures.”

Osteoporosis is often underdiagnosed. At least once a month he sees a patient who has been told they don’t have osteoporosis when in fact they do have the disease.

One of the ways doctors screen is by using a DEXA bone density scan.

This test does two things: Screens for risk in asymptomatic people; and

helps determine if a person’s bone density is low enough to be put on medication. Screening is good if you have a family history or any concern about Osteoporosis.

Essentially, a bone density scan compares bone density to the bones of an average healthy young adult.

The test results can help determine if you have osteoporosis, are at risk for it, and can be used to determine the overall risk for having a fracture.

“Advanced CT scans and X-ray’s can miss half the fractures; and two-thirds of the unfound vertebral fractures heal before they receive medical treatment,” explained Dr. Webb. “A physical exam is the most technical way to detect a fracture. We treat the patient and not the imaging because we know that many fractures are painful for weeks before we can detect the collapse on imaging.” He specializes in innovative less invasive treatments to treat Osteoporosis and fractures before they become severe.

He uses a variety of treatments including kyphoplasty, steroid injections, ablations and other pain-relieving procedures.

Left image: MRI showing acute fracture with fluid cleft. Middle image: picture during kyphoplasty with balloon in the fracture cleft.

Right image: Bone glue filling the fracture cleft during kyphoplasty. A typical CT report would eyeball estimate this as 20 percent height loss. Genant Six-Point Semi-Quantitative Analysis (SPSQA) measurements show between 45-55% height loss. (17mm compared to 31mm posterior wall height).

Dr. Webb – Kyphoplasty Expert in back pain relief, treating old and new injuries...focuses on finding the underlying cause of back pain in patients and providing targeted, minimally invasive treatment.

Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that quickly repairs vertebral compression fractures (VCF) and restores structural integrity to broken vertebral bone. It is an outpatient procedure that uses a cavity creation device (usually a balloon) to create a space in the broken vertebra which is then filled with a special bone cement to stabilize the fracture and reduce pain. Dr. Webb is one of the most experienced physicians in the United States and has performed thousands of these procedures.

Left: Bone densitometry, also called dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, DEXA or DXA, uses a very small dose of ionizing radiation to produce pictures of the inside of the body (usually the lower (or lumbar) spine and hips) to measure bone loss. It is commonly used to diagnose osteoporosis, to assess an individual’s risk for developing osteoporotic fractures. DXA is simple, quick and noninvasive. It’s also the most commonly used and the most standard method for diagnosing osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis is a disease of the bone.

•

Osteoporosis is often called a “silent disease” because you cannot feel your bones getting weaker.

• You may not even know you have osteoporosis until after you break a bone. Osteoporosis is common.

• Approximately 10 million Americans have osteoporosis and another 44 million have low bone density, placing them at increased risk.

For over one and half years, Dwain suffered from severe chest and shoulder pain. He had been an athlete most of his life and lived the rough and tumble lifestyle that most athletes endure.

“I felt like I was having a heart attack all of the time and was experiencing great pain between my shoulder blades,” he explains, “my doctor ran tests and determined that I have always had a very healthy heart and my heart health was not causing my pain.” Following further examination, his doctor diagnosed him with osteoporosis and one broken vertebra.

People with osteoporosis can break a bone from a minor fall, or in serious cases, even from simple actions like sneezing or bumping into furniture.

Osteoporosis is serious, even deadly.

On the weekend of July 17-18, the Society will host its annual Rock, Gem, Mineral, and Jewelry Show at the Exchange Center, Tulsa County

Fairgrounds. Saturday the show will run from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The show is open to the public, and will amaze and inspire visitors with gems, beads, fossils, jewelry, crystals and much more! There will be many exhibits to explore, including a kid’s zone

with interactive stations and fun activities, such as fossil excavations and growing crystals. A market with over 27 vendors will be on-site, with items available for sale including jewelry, fossils, artifacts, minerals and gems. Working exhibits will provide entertaining education while demonstrating lapidary arts (work involved in cutting, polishing, or engraving stones or gems), jewelry making, stone cutting and much more. Entry is free for children 12 and under with a paid adult.

Scouts, Military, Police and

Fire are also free with ID. General admission is only $6 per adult or $10 for a two-day pass. There will be something for everyone to enjoy!

“I would be shocked if someone came and was bored at the show,” said Event Director, Eric Hamshar.

“There’s so much to do and see!”

One of the most popular exhibits will be returning this year, the fluorescent mineral rock room.

“There are certain minerals that will fluoresce under UV lights that are special for this activity,” he said. “The rocks don’t look all that special until the room is made dark and the UV lights are turned on. All of the rocks

just glow. It’s amazing.”

Eric is an active member with the Tulsa Rock and Mineral Society and is the Curator at the DW Correll Museum in Catoosa. The museum mostly houses the eclectic personal collection of DW Correll and contains countless minerals, gemstones, stones, and fossils from around the world. A recent addition of a gift shop provides an opportunity for visitors to purchase stones, crystals, fossils, jewelry and more to enjoy.

The Tulsa Rock and Mineral Society was organized in 1958, “to promote interest in rocks, minerals,

fossils, artifacts, gemstones, lapidary, jewelry-making, and all forms of earth science.” The show is hosted each year as a fundraiser to produce funds that provide for educational outreach and scholarships. “I do it because I love the rock club, and I want it to flourish and succeed,” said Eric. “It’s also a great way to introduce new people into it, and grow their interest. We just want to share our love of rocks.”

Photography Basics

BY CHRIS PUTMAN

A

s the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. If that is true that picture better be a doozie, and quality photography doesn’t usually come without some seasoned skill. Most rookie shutterbugs fall in love with their own pictures and brag how they captured the most stunning expression on their subject’s face, but they are blind to the fact there is a flagpole in the background that looks like it is protruding out of their subject’s head. Many novices think they have captured the best landscape photo with brilliantly colored field flowers with snowcapped mountains framing the shot, but they didn’t notice that there is an overflowing trash can in the foreground that could have easily been framed out if they had just slowed down and did a check of each element within the frame.

Yes, these greenhorns think their photos are stellar, but if their work is critiqued by a pro, usually there are distracting elements caught in the shot that could have been easily avoided.

Now, this article is written not with expensive equipment in mind.

What the reader will learn is how to capture the image either by a camera or a phone camera. Photos can be breathtaking simply by their composition, not by the quality or exorbitant cost of the equipment used.

So, what are some tips that can help a beginner take photos like a pro? Here’s a checklist: 1. Use the rule of thirds. Beginning photographers innately want to put the subject of the photo in

the center of the frame.

Anything in art such as painting, sketches or Rule of thirds. photography looks much more stimulating to the brain if the subject is placed on Centered tree - just OK. the third line.

What third line? Many cameras or phone cameras have a grid that can Tree on third lines – much better. be selected so the third lines are in place when looking through the frame to take the shot. Place the subject at the intersection of the third line. No grid? No problem. Just mentally divide the viewfinder into thirds and place the subject as shown below.

2. Look around at the elements captured in the frame. Novices focus their attention on their subject but miss the element in the shot that will cause them regret after that special moment passes never to be captured again.

Look for overlooked distracting elements. In the example photo, the girl is framed correctly on the thirds line. A secondary element is also included, the pots of flowers,

and even placed on the opposite third line, but because the photographer was mentally Watch for distracting focusing on elements. these rules, he/she didn’t notice the telephone pole that appears to be growing from the subject’s head.

Objects look more attractive if taken on an angle rather than standing square in front of them.

Take real estate, for instance. Most photographers know that if a photo is taken directly in front of a house or building, it will look flat. The building will look much more attractive, Building looking flat . however, if the photographer simply walks around the corner of the building to Building shot on catch two sides. an angle.

The building has dimension while appearing larger and more attractive.

3. Take photos of people using the same principles as with buildings. Capturing an angle provides a more flattering look.

When a subject looks directly into a camera, their face flattens out. That’s why people hate their driver’s license photo or work I.D. pictures – the worst pose is captured – but a portrait Photo of flat face. photographer knows the tip of providing depth to their face.

Have the subject turn their head slightly. Perfect. Photo of angled face. (continued on page 44)

Now shoot.

4. Look around to find a natural element to frame the Framing subject subject within from below. that visual enclosure. For example, use branches to frame the subject.

Perhaps tall Framing from the side. grass is the perfect element; lay down and shoot through the blades.

5. 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 Leading lines line – to guide to subject. 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 the subject, the focal point, at the end of the leading lines.

6. The most engaging photo technique of all is stop action.

Sports photos are often stop-action photos.

Remember opening a newspaper to the sports section and seeing a basketball Capture action as it happens . player 44 |

jumping to shoot a hoop and the player was captured in midair? How about a baseball player taking a swing and the photographer caught an image of the ball leaving the bat? Care must be taken so that these photos are not ruined by the blur of the action. If a camera is not fast enough to stop this action, better leave this one alone.

7. Lastly, most photos are taken from standing height. Not good. If an interesting angle is Ladders provide a top/down view. desired, simply changed the physical stance.

Try lying on the Use squatting for low action . ground and shooting upward.

How about shooting from a step ladder and Lay down for an shooting unusual low angle. downward?

The weather is warming up. Practice before the vacation comes or the kids’ sports season starts. Grab the dog and take a photo of him at his level, not at the photographer’s height. Wait. Look behind the pet and see what is in the background. Is the driveway full of cars behind him? Then simply walk around the animal framing attractive landscaping in the background instead. Remember, even animals look more attractive on a slight angle. Don’t shoot the pet square in the face. Move slightly to catch the animal’s face as if framing a human face, on a slight angle. He will lick a photographer’s hand for it.

TIPS FROM A PRO Arranging people for a portrait takes more imagination than pointing a camera at the subject and saying, “Cheese!” Broken Arrow photographer David Dietrich has a photography business titled after his name and can capture some dazzling photos. He also has been a second shooter for some recognizable names, one being the “Iron Lady.”

Yes, he has been on a photo shoot for the former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Drawing from his deep well of expertise, Dietrich has advice to help novices showcase a professional look for their photos.

• Dietrich says to take advantage of the technology. This is no longer the day of taking photos with film and having to wait a few days to see how the work looks.

A photographer can’t overshoot nowadays; they can always delete unwanted photos.

• Take numerous shots with the face angled in a variety of ways – chin down or head tilted – and then preview what was just taken.

See what is working or what is not flattering and reposition the subject. Have them turn their face slightly and look back at the camera. That slight turn changes the look of the chin, nose or eyes.

• Get group or family faces in as much area of the photo as possible. If shooting inside, for instance, stack people behind a sofa with some in front on the sofa.

If outdoors, use rocks, logs, steps, anything that can stack them.

Place faces where the viewer’s eye flows around the whole photo rather than positioning people in a straight line.

• Dietrich says subjects can get stoic and stiff during a shoot.

A photographer can get natural shots, however, with the camera snapping while interacting with the group, while they are laughing and having a good time.

Facial expressions become much more natural as people begin to loosen up.

• What to do if a subject has a double chin? This pro says to shoot from above. When the subject looks up into the camera, it pulls their neck tight.

• This seasoned professional suggests if a family has a pet, incorporate Fido into the photo.

It makes the family interact authentically. In addition, get the pet to look its best using a miniature reflector or even a squeaker toy to catch the pet’s attention just before the click; it will perk up the puppy.
