Passion, Prayer, Patience and Persistence Don’t Leave Your Credit These are the principles Robin Anderson, Republican candidate for Rogers County Clerk, strives to live by.

Problems A-Loan

By Deanna Rebro

Tower Loans works with customers to build or rebuild their credit scores.

With the June 26th primary election quickly approaching, one of the main election slots Rogers County citizens will be asked to fill is for Rogers County Clerk. Long-time Rogers County resident Robin Anderson is asking for consideration for this position, pointing to her eight years of service in county government as proof she has the needed reputation, skills and commitment to do the job well. Robin is a true conservative Republican with Republican family roots going back to 1959. Her family is active in the Verdigris Assembly of God. “As an experienced county leader, I have worked with Senator Inhofe, Senator Coburn, and Congressman John Sullivan’s offices to acquire $13,000,000 in federal funding for Rogers County,” says Robin. She is accredited and certified

with 171 hours with OSU, and has completed the highest level of the county training program. “Through the National Association of Counties, I have established a pharmacy discount

card that is available for all Rogers County residents.” She also understands the need to work together with neighboring communities and has (continued on page 22)

By Lorrie Ward We often believe that when we finish our schooling, the days of being graded on our progress are over. But in today’s financial realm, we never stop being graded – the credit report is the

new “report card.” With the grim economic downturn of recent years, many people who formerly had an excellent credit “GPA” may now find their (continued on page 22)

Highway 66 has long been known as the “Mother Road,” an arterial highway link that still pumps lifeblood through traditional American towns. Claremore, Oklahoma was built right on the heart of this highway, and so it seems especially appropriate that Claremore firefighters should inaugurate a new and exciting event this year for vehicles that have surely traveled many miles on that very highway – the Hotrods and Heroes Car Show and Poker Run. Scheduled for Saturday, June 23, this event will be packed with fun sights, sounds and activities for the whole family, including a vintage car and

motorcycle show, live music by the Brent Giddens Band, and great tasting concessions from BigFoot BBQ. Trophies will be awarded in 20 car and bike categories, and every registrant will receive a free T-shirt. The first 150 registrations will also receive free dash plaques. The Poker Run will run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. , is open to all vehicles, and will consist of five stop points – Old 33 Icehouse, Rt. 66 Sports Bar, Grey Beards, The Dam Saloon, and the Claremore Expo Center, where participants pick up their cards and where a $5 extra card will be available at the last spot. Donations will also be accepted

at all stops. Prizes will be awarded to the first and second place hands, with a “last chance drawing” for $50. To preregister for the event at a lower fee, visit www.claremorefirefighters.com. You may download the forms at the site and register on the day of the event, email them to forms@claremorefirefighters.com, or mail them to P.O. Box 1813, Claremore, OK 74018. Proceeds from Hotrods and Heroes go to the Claremore Firefighters Activity Fund. Claremore’s firefighter union has long donated to local causes, events and organizations, (continued on page 22)

HHelping Girls Become Strong Women The iExpo for girls ages 12 to 20 will be held June 15 at the BOK Center.

By Lorrie Ward Kids are growing up fast these days – some might say “too fast!” With Hollywood and other media pressure urging young girls in particular to look and act

“sexy,” the lines for safe and age-appropriate relationships between young men and women have become increasingly blurred. In a society of free

Susan Jensen, BLAST project director with Rogers County Volunteers for Youth, invites young ladies to the iExpo.

speech, we cannot necessarily stop this media blitz, but we can try to teach our young ladies how to make wise decisions in the midst of all the contradictory messages being sent their way. This is the goal of Rogers County Volunteers for Youth and the Tulsa Shock this year, as they are joining forces to present iExpo for area girls, ages 12 to 20, on Friday, June 15 from 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the BOK Center in Tulsa. Transportation to and from the BOK Center will be provided by Rogers County Volunteers for Youth. A $10 registration fee includes a wealth of activity, including a Tulsa Shock game and a day of fun and learning for all girls who attend. Susan Jensen, BLAST project director for Rogers County Volunteers for Youth, is especially excited about this year’s event. “For the past three years we’ve held morning camps for girls in the summer,” she relates. “But this year, we felt we needed to do something bigger for these girls – and then the Shock called and asked if they

could partner with us. We are so thrilled!” The day will focus on helping girls understand their rights and responsibilities in a relationship. “We want to help girls learn not to be gullible and that it’s okay to say no,” says Susan. Representatives from Safenet Services and Domestic Violence of Tulsa will be present to answer anonymous questions from the girls during the first class session, followed by a shopping period at vendors invited specifically for the event – Mary Kay, Cato, DVIS, Safenet, Orange Owl, Body by VI, Scentsy, Silpada, and Designs by Jewelee. After another class in which two Claremore police officers teach self defense tips, the girls will be allowed to shop again. “We’ve added the shopping this year because we want to help the girls learn how to look cool and still be modest,” says Susan. “We believe that part of protecting yourself is in how you dress.” The final teaching session will be led by Alison Short from Drug Free, who will speak about

how to be aware at a party by watching your drink and being cognizant of some other dangers in such a situation. The Shock Game will cap off the day’s festivities, leaving the girls with a positive view of strong and successful female role models in action. There will be no walk-ins allowed on the day of the event because parents need to sign the online permission slip, so Susan encourages everyone who is interested to go to www.wnba.com/shock/tickets /iexpo_registration_form_2012.html.

“Our girls are part of our future,” says Susan. “We’ve got to help them get strong and be smart – we hope this event will help accomplish that.”

CCatch the Running Bug The 4th annual June Bug Jog presented by Pelco Structural benefitting Claremore Public Schools Foundation will be Saturday, June 16, 2012.

By Lorrie Ward If you leave your house lights on at night this time of year, you are sure to find a bunch of June bugs crawling around on your porch by morning. The June bugs know it’s time to get up and get moving, and they can inspire us to do the same at the 4th annual June Bug Jog presented by Pelco Structural. “We strive to promote health and wellness throughout the community by challenging everyone of all ages and athletic abilities to get off the couch and get moving,” says Melissa Dick-Herriman, event director with her husband, Larry. “The June Bug Jog is a very familyfriendly event, and we encourage parents to bring their kids to run the Fun Run as a family.” Melissa is pleased to report a significant increase in participation over the last three years. For the past two years, there have been over 300 racers, and she expects that growth to continue. Melissa also points out that start times have changed this year. The event will

kick off at 7:30 a.m. Saturday morning, June 16 at Claremore Lake for entrants who choose the 5K run, and 8:15 a.m. for those who choose the one-mile Fun Run. Most of those winding their way down and back around beautiful Claremore Lake will be runners and joggers, but the course is available to walkers, too. In addition, strollers and leashed

pets are allowed on the Fun Run. Time Line Results will chip-time the race, ensuring accuracy of results. First, second, and third place in both male and female categories will be recognized in the 5K race, as well as the first three places in the standard age groups. Each Fun Run participant will also receive an award.

The 2011 June Bug Jog raised $2,000 for Claremore Public Schools Foundation.

A few of last year’s June Bug joggers.

Whether you want to enter the 5K or the Fun Run, the entry fee is $20 if you register before June 7. Early registrants receive a T-shirt. After June 7, the registration fee is $25. Runners who are under the age of 16 can register for $10 with a paid adult (limit one adult per under 16). If you would like to preregister for this event, visit www.junebugjog.com.

Working to Improve Lives Since 1927 W Goodwill Industries of Tulsa celebrates 85 years of giving back to Tulsa.

By Duane Blankenship Goodwill Industries of Tulsa has changed a lot over the past 85 years; headquarters have grown, as have their services. Goodwill reaches out with new programs and services, training facilities, and retail stores. But Goodwill’s mission has not changed in 85 years: they continue to promote and make possible for every individual the dignity and self-sufficiency that comes with employment. It all boils down to people working, lives improved. In 2011, Goodwill gave back to our community more than $79 million in economic and fiscal benefit. According to David Oliver, Goodwill president, “In 2012, we’ll continue to expand our services to individuals who need employment and companies who need workers.” On May 1, 2012, locals celebrated Goodwill’s 2011 award winners at their annual luncheon at the Southern Hills Marriott. Opening remarks and recognition of luncheon sponsors was made by Mark Bradshaw, evening news anchor of KTUL. Awards were presented by Goodwill’s Sabrina Ware and David Oliver. Community Partner honors went to Tulsa Transit. Presenter

Goodwill’s 2011 award winners included Brian Faust, Samuel Littles, and Jonathan Shacklett, shown with KTUL evening news anchor Mark Bradshaw (second from right). Sabrina Ware said they have been a great partner with Goodwill by hiring graduates that were prepared for working at Tulsa Transit, taking students on tours, and participating in mock interviews performed with students. Tulsa Transit has been sensitive to the transportation needs of Goodwill and what is important to the organization and students. Achiever of the Year was awarded to Samuel Littles. From early in life, Samuel faced huge

obstacles. He wasn’t diagnosed with a displaced hip until age 17. His mother died, and Samuel began treating his medical condition with alcohol. After entering Goodwill’s TulsaWORKS program in 2002, Sam still couldn’t hold down a job, mostly because of his drinking. He lost his sister and only remaining family member in 2011, but didn’t turn to alcohol. He continued his hardfought journey to sobriety and has now been sober for more than a year. In August, 2011,

We are committed to providing you with the ULTIMATE

Samuel was hired by Sam’s Club in Tulsa Hills, where he continues to work today. He is providing for himself and says, “It’s a pleasure working and winning as a team.” Sam has discovered the glory of rising after a fall. Jonathan Shacklett was honored as Employee of the Year and loves his job at the 38th and Harvard Goodwill Donation Center. Jon was born with Prader-Willi Syndrome, a complex genetic disorder that causes chronic hunger, rigid stubbornness, and other physical and intellectual limitations. It took a special job environment to allow Jon to succeed at work. Today, Jon helps new hires at the center learn their jobs and keeps his group on task. He has an ability to motivate others, a great sense of humor, and helps keep the work environment positive and fun, noted his job coach. Jon’s parents are proud of his hard work, which has given him the opportunity to earn a paycheck and live independently and provide for himself and his cats. Jon is a willing and able contributor to the Tulsa working community. Graduate of the Year honors went to Brian Faust. Brian came to Goodwill the summer of 2009

for transitional work adjustment training while getting ready for his senior year of high school. He needed to learn how to conduct himself at work. Doing everything he was asked to do, he still goofed around during work time. His program instructor helped Brian understand that “horseplay” was not appropriate in the workplace. In 2011, he started in the supported employment program and landed a lot attendant position at Home Depot. He now stays on task, has developed appropriate workplace relationships, loads customer orders, collects shopping carts, and helps stock lawn and garden supplies. He provides the high level of customer service his employer expects and has a bright future ahead of him. Congratulations to all the Goodwill award recipients!

GGolf to Stop Child Trafficking Now The 3rd annual Stop Child Trafficking Now Golf Tournament will be July 16, 2012. By Duane Blankenship Stop Child Trafficking Now (SCTNow) funds efforts that target the demand side of child sex slavery. They target predators. The organization is making an impact in the fight against child sex trafficking, a problem identified as a growing issue in our nation and around the world – an issue needing every voice rising up against it. SCTNow diligently works to protect and deliver children from this heinous crime by focusing funding on efforts to stop demand, the buyers, predators, and traffickers. In short, SCTNow believes that their efforts to stop demand will have the power to interrupt the cycle of supply, demand, and distribution, resulting in fewer predators and, ultimately, fewer victims. SCTNow has a partnership program that funds other nonprofit organizations that provide shelter, care and victim services. Kristin Weis is the national events director and Tulsa ambassador for SCTNow. Her husband Jason Weis is the national sponsorship director and Tulsa ambassador. Monday, July 16 marks the date of the 3rd annual Stop Child Trafficking Now Golf Tournament, which

Kristin and Jason spearhead. The 2012 tournament will be held at the beautiful Golf Club of Oklahoma and promises to be a first-class golf event benefitting this worthy cause. Register

Tournament format will be a four-player scramble. Individual entry is $175, and a

placement into recovery programs. SCTNow’s Cyber Teams acquire an average of 32 predator profiles per week. These profiles are documented, and a percentage is turned over to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC). Many investigations are currently pending as SCTNow continues their hard work with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies. Kristin and Jason said that a recent national report estimated that over one million children are being exploited by the global commercial sex trade each year, and only 4,000 predator convictions are made each year. A child is abducted every nine minutes of every day. Stop Child Trafficking Now needs your help “now.”

PPonder the Beauty The 20th annual Green Country Water Garden Society Pond Tour will be held June 23-24, 2012. By Lorrie Ward It makes up 70 percent of the earth’s surface. It constitutes 70 percent of our brains. With water being so big a part of who we are, it isn’t any wonder that the sight and sound of water often soothes and inspires the human spirit. It also isn’t any wonder that the Green Country Water Garden Society Pond Tour has spread over the last 20 years from Tulsa into many of its surrounding areas. Homes on the tour will be open on Saturday, June 23 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, June 24 from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. “We have 22 ponds on this year’s tour, with ponds in Sapulpa, Sand Springs, Bixby, Broken Arrow, Collinsville, and even as far away as Adair,” says Melanie Allen, president of GCWGS. “We have decided to spread out from Tulsa and really live up to the name ‘Green Country.’” Displayed on the tour are some of Green Country’s loveliest backyard water gardens and ponds in all kinds of arrangements, from gentle brooks to plunging waterfalls. In the last two decades, landscapers and water garden enthusiasts

have made great strides in water garden development, and this will be evident to those who view the intricate rock designs and water filtration systems along the tour. These ponds are

not only set up to be pleasing to the eye and create a relaxing atmosphere, but to provide a natural habitat for fish and birds as well. A plethora of waterfriendly plants and flowers

surround and fill the ponds, completing the natural effect. And just as in nature, each pond is unique, as the pond owner has designed it according to his or her own imagination and taste. “Through this tour, GCWGS provides the opportunity for interested parties to share ideas and experiences, successes and pitfalls relating to the care and enjoyment of ponds,” says Jody Porter, a member of GCWGS and owner of Hardscape Materials Outdoor Living Center, along with her husband Brad. “People can learn about aquatic plants and fish while enjoying ponds built by both weekend warriors and professional pond builders.” Hardscape is the presenting sponsor of the Green Country Water Garden Society Pond Tour, with other major sponsors including Anderson Pond Design and BZT Pond and Koi Products. Tickets for the pond tour are $5 and are available at Hardscape Materials, Southern Agriculture, and on the Green Country Water Garden Society website, www.gcwgs.com. Tickets will also be available at

tour homes. In years past, GCWGS has provided a magazine filled with information about the different ponds and about water gardening in general, and this year’s magazine will be the actual ticket for the event, gaining the holder entrance into any of the ponds on the tour. Also new this year: Jody Porter has set up a GPS routing system with all of the tour home locations. To obtain information about this, email Jody at jody@hardscapematerials.com. The Green Country Water Garden Society is dedicated to educating Green Country about the how-to’s – and resulting joys – of water gardening. This nonprofit society meets the second Tuesday of every month at the Tulsa Garden Center at 2435 S. Peoria and is a supporter of the Linnaeus Teaching Garden. Another main focus of the club is to provide scholarships to horticulture students. The GCWGS Pond Tour is the club’s main fundraiser of the year, but it is also its way of introducing its passion to the public. “If you are interested in gardening and water features,” says Jody, “this pond tour is your gateway to the ‘Pond Life.’”

Knee Replacement Paid Off in the Long Run Free of pain thanks to knee replacement surgery performed by Dr. LaButti, Carl McMann is again able to serve others.

By Duane Blankenship Carl McMann has spent most of his life as an athlete. He grew up in Sapulpa, where he met his wife Carla and graduated from Sapulpa High School. He served his country during Vietnam, Desert Storm, and Desert Shield, and did two tours of duty in Germany. Carl has been stationed in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Japan, and Hawaii while serving his 27-year career in the United States Army and Army Reserve. He retired a sergeant major in March of 1993. Carl was selected to represent the Army as a marathoner for three years early in his duty. He ran over 3,500 miles during that time. Carl was competing in the Trans-Mountain Marathon in El Paso, Texas when he began feeling pain in his back and knee, but he kept on running and finished the race. During this run, athletes gain one mile in altitude after starting at sea level. They then have to turn around and run back down to sea level. At about the 12-and-a-half mile mark, pain hit Carl, marking the beginning of the near unbearable aching he came to endure in both his knees. He had always enjoyed

Since his knee replacement surgery by Dr. LaButti, Carl McMann is again able to serve others through involvement with his church. hunting, but with the pain in both his knees was forced to give up hunting and many other physical activities he enjoyed. In 2006, Carl’s left knee had become a big issue. It was tough

going up stairs and much worse going down stairs. He was miserable trying to sleep at night and, in short, Carl was experiencing excruciating pain 24 hours each and every day.

Botox Special

He was finally introduced to Dr. Ronald LaButti and scheduled to have knee replacement surgery on his left knee. After surgery, Carl immediately found himself anxious to get on the road to complete recovery. He actually pushed a little too hard and was cautioned to keep up the good work, but not to overdo it. Dr. LaButti had hoped for Carl to reach the optimistic point of 120 degrees of flexibility in his improving left knee and was elated when he reached 131 degrees. Carl worked hard during his therapy and surprised everyone with his astounding progress. Carl had dodged tackling stairs again after his surgery for fear the knee would buckle on him. To his amazement, the first time he tried a stairway, he had no problem with the ascent or the descent. He was able to start deer hunting again and recently laid the new wood flooring in his home. He has acquired his commercial driver’s license and is the go-to driver for his church. He drives for the pre-school, Seniors on the Go, various youth activities, Meals on Wheels, and as a member of the church’s tape ministry, delivers sermon tapes

and Sunday bulletins to shut-ins each week. Carl has also been recruited by several church members and friends and is now a beginner mason. “I just can’t tell you how much I admire and respect Dr. LaButti and his staff,” says Carl. “They all have such a caring attitude and make you feel special. Carla and I actually feel like we’re part of their family.” Carl and Dr. LaButti are scheduling surgery in the near future to replace Carl’s right knee. Carl’s words of advice to others experiencing pain from tired and worn-out knees is, “When it’s time, schedule the replacement surgery and get it done as soon as possible. Do exactly what the doctor and therapists tell you to do. And push yourself to your limits. You’ll enjoy the rewards.”

She works with the camera crew at RSU, helps with various clubs and organizations, and puts an extra amount of her passion toward working to help special needs children. “As a grandparent of a special needs child, I am committed to helping her and others achieve their goals,” she says. “I am passionate about volunteering in the community by being active in the PAL mentoring program through Claremore Public Schools and would encourage others to do so.” Before she began working within county government, Robin spent many years running her own home-based business, which she feels gave her solid foundation for later work, as she had to create and work off a budget and hire and supervise personnel to keep the business running smoothly. “This gave me the experience I need for any situation in life, as I developed what I consider to be the four principles of success,” says Robin. “Those are passion, prayer, patience, and persistence.”

government has opened Robin’s eyes to these and other needs that she might not otherwise have seen and helped her decide to run for the Republican candidacy. “I also sensed an urgency to have conservative, Christian Republicans in office,” she says. Robin is treasurer of the Rogers County Republican Women’s Club. To sum up one of her driving philosophies in life, Robin quotes a very famous Republican leader, former President Ronald Reagan: “I know in my heart that man is good. That what is right will eventually triumph, and there’s purpose and worth to each and every life.”

Robin Anderson with her husband and grandchildren. Robin lives by these principles and plans to continue using them to reach some specific goals, should she be elected to the office of Rogers County Clerk. “One of my goals is to have all records online and to have complete transparency and availability for Rogers County citizens to access any record by working hand in

hand with our technology department,” says Robin. “As County Clerk, I will work with IT to have a user-friendly website, reduce budgetary needs and produce audits that balance with the Treasurer’s Office and improve access for the Board of County Commissioners.” Working within the county

scores have plummeted. Still others may never have had a chance to establish credit in the first place and, with stricter credit requirements now in place, they may be finding it hard to move toward their financial goals. Raquel Williams, manager at Tower Loans’ most recently opened branch (April, 2012), understands that life is not perfect and wants to stress that Tower Loans will try its best to help people either build or rebuild their credit. “No credit, past credit problems, and bankruptcy are just a few of the issues some people have with credit,” she says. “Some have had problems in the past and should not be cast aside and never be allowed to rebuild their credit score.” Tower Loans offers signature loans from $301 to $800. This may not seem like a lot of money, but credit scores are built in part by payment history. By taking a small loan with Tower Loans and making regular, on-time payments, a person can start to build his or her credit score. And these loans can often provide solutions for short-term problems. For instance, Tower Loan District Supervisor Jason Bulington relates an instance in which a young lady who had not yet built a credit history needed a loan to travel to a

you out that you haven’t thought of.” She says one of the worst mistakes people make is to ignore credit calls, just believing the issue will go away. In collateral cases, such as car loans, this can result in more than merely a black mark on your credit. The collateral item can be repossessed, and in the case of a vehicle loan, this can make the difference between getting to work or not. Tower Loans only deals in signature loans, which require no collateral, but this type of loan is an excellent way for a person to prove themselves in the credit realm, whether they are starting out or starting over. According to Raquel, the amount of time it takes to build or rebuild credit is different for each individual, but Tower Loans can help you take that first step. “We believe in giving people a chance,” she says.

Tower Loans in Claremore, the company’s newest branch, opened in April of this year. family funeral. “We were able to help her with a loan so she could be there,” he says. “These situations are especially rewarding because it feels great to be able to help someone in their time of need.” In the long term, this same person could also bolster her credit with consistent payments

on the loan, which would ultimately be positively reported to the credit bureaus. When asked what advice she would give to those who are having credit issues, Raquel answers, “My number-one advice is to communicate with your creditors. Sometimes they may have ideas to help

Firefighters Raising Money for Local Causes including the Fishing Derby, Special Olympics Softball Team, Relay for Life, MS 150, and the Burn Camp, which is held each year at Dry Gulch for kids who are burn victims. Burn Camp is the biggest donation focus of the Claremore Firefighters Activity Fund. In fact, there will be a special trophy awarded this year: the Burn Camp Kid Favorite. The trophy itself is being created by Claremore firefighter Jimmy Hamilton and will consist of a half helmet on a plaque,

custom to this occasion. In order to be able to afford to continue their strong support for the Burn Camp and other causes, the Claremore firefighters realized it was time to do something bigger than they had in past years. “Last year we sold cookbooks made up of 360 or so recipes from firefighters and their families,” says Claremore firefighter Chris Hayes. “We raised about $4,500, and the cookbook is still available around town. But we felt we

needed to start an event we could continue every year.” Since Chris rides motorcycles and a couple of the other firefighters are members of the Route 66 Cruisers (a vintage car club), they decided to put on a car show and poker run. “We are already getting a lot of response,” Chris relates. “I think this is the start of something that could successfully go on for many years.”

RRepair Facility of the Year Bill Knight Collision Repair received the national award from Farmers Insurance for the second year in a row. By Duane Blankenship Bill Knight Collision Repair received the Farmers Insurance Circle of Dependability/Eastern Division Repair Facility of the Year Award in 2010, and again in 2011. Winning the coveted award once is a great honor. Winning it two years in a row is unprecedented. Bill Knight is quick to praise his entire Bill Knight Collision Repair organization for the role each individual played in their selection to receive the award. “From our administrative staff to the technicians who performed the repairs,” said Knight, “all made positive contributions that played a part in our being selected.” The award was for Farmers’ Eastern Division of the United States, which encompasses every state from Oklahoma north, south, and east to the coastline. The selection was made from a total of 2,700 collision repair centers spread across the eastern half of the United States. Together, Knight and his collision repair team celebrated receiving the award at a luncheon as the award was presented by Farmers representatives. The winning selection was

Bill Knight Collision Repair is the 2011 recipient of the Farmers Insurance Repair Facility of the Year Award. Knight (center) is shown with Body Shop Director Dustin McElyea and Farmers Estimator Aaron Jenkins. made after considering the speed of repairs, quality of repairs, the working relationship between Farmers and the collision repair center, and survey scores sent back from customers receiving repair services. Farmers also conducts re-inspections of

work done by their certified repair centers. Bill Knight Collision Repair Body Shop Director Dustin McElyea added, “Our customer service representatives, our estimators, our technicians, and our parts department are all on

the same page and were all involved in our being the recipient of the Farmers Award. Our parts department has always embraced our Collision Repair Center, and this is just one of the reasons we’ve grown from one location to three in just three years.” Farmers Insurance, Bill Knight Collision Repair, and their customers want each vehicle to move quickly through the shop without sacrificing any repair quality. “When a Farmers customer brings a vehicle to us for repair, they’re treated just like we treat our own customers when they come in to buy a car, obtain recommended services, or need collision repairs,” said Knight. “Our entire staff treats customers the way each of us wants to be treated by others.” It’s no wonder they have been selected to receive the Circle of Dependability Repair Facility of the Year Award two years running. Bill Knight Automotive conducts an annual campaign supporting DVIS (Domestic Violence Intervention Services) in the Tulsa area. In 2011, they

asked Farmers to join them in the project of refurbishing a van to be given to the DVIS shelter. All Farmers agents statewide participated in the project. The van was reconditioned to likenew condition and filled with toys, cooking and cleaning supplies, and other items needed at DVIS shelters. “Farmers and Bill Knight Automotive have had a long-term, successful business relationship that paved the way to our jointly giving something back to the Tulsa area,” said Kevin Davis. “Farmers was overwhelmed by just how great an experience it was for our organization, encompassing all employees and agents.” Kevin is the life and financial specialist in the Farmers Insurance Oklahoma state office. Bill Knight Collision Repair works on all makes and models of vehicles, and the Bill Knight organization cherishes the long-term trust they have built with customers. That same trust has built a fabric of great relationships. Like Bill Knight says in his advertising campaign, “Go to the name you can trust.”

TThis Festival Is No Second Fiddle The American Heritage Music Festival will be held in Grove, June 7-9, 2012.

By Kathleen Pixley The American Heritage Music Festival hosted by Grand Lake Festivals, Inc. in Grove, OK is held the first full week of June each year, featuring fiddle and clogging competitions as the two main components of this festival. The 2012 date is Thursday, June 7 through Saturday, June 9. The festival was founded by Jana Jae, known as the First Lady of Fiddling, who is also director of the event. This event provides a national venue for musical artists, bands, musicians and dancers in competitions and performances on three stages. The contests are nationally sanctioned and certified events, bringing top talent from all over the nation to compete for the top prize of $1,000 in both divisions. Grand Lake Festivals, Inc. has earned an excellent reputation, which encourages many outstanding musicians and dancers to travel hundreds of miles to test their abilities against other talents in competitions. Judging for both events follow strict national rules, with winners in all categories winning cash prizes, medallions or plaques. All the contests promote and encourage creativity, innovation, quality and excellence in these

growing artistic fields. Judging for the clogging is, of course, visual, while the judges for the fiddle competitions are in a secluded area unable to see the contestants, listening to the competitors via remote transmis-

sion. Numbers are also assigned to each contestant, insuring unbiased judging of each player. The fiddle contest is nationally certified by NOTFC, Weiser, Idaho, and the clogging contest is sanctioned by

America’s Clogging Hall of Fame and the National Clogging and Hoe-down Council. Top prize for each contest is $1,000. Cloggers and fiddlers from across the United States spend much of the year getting their

contest tunes and dances ready for this exciting weekend of contests and entertainment. Other events Grand Lake Festivals hosts each year include The Arts, Crafts, Music and Cajun Festival held at the Grove Civic Center on July 4, with free admission, wonderful Cajun food, Cajun music, and other entertainment. The Jana Jae Fiddle Camp is held Labor Day weekend in September, featuring renowned musicians performing and teaching workshops, demonstrations and master classes. Grand Lake Festivals, Inc. is a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing family entertainment to the Grand Lake area with the assistance of the Oklahoma Arts Council, National Endowment for the Arts, and many dedicated local and area sponsors. More information on all three festivals can be found at www.grandlakefestivals.com, or call (918) 786-8896. For more information, contact
