ROGERS COUNTY MARCH 2018

he grandson of retired Rogers County judge, Jack Mayberry, lifelong Claremore resident, Jason Birdsong, has great pride in his community. From these deep roots stem his commitment to protecting families from unnecessary devastation. To that end, he and his wife, Erin, set out to do their part across Northeastern Oklahoma and neighboring states, opening Survivor Shelters, LLC (Survivor) a little over five years ago. And it’s become a family affair with Jason’s mother, Charlotte Mayberry, handling the accounting and Jason and Erin’s 11-year-old daughter, D.J., learning the ropes after school. Since they opened their doors, Survivor has become a premiere “shelter superstore”, offering over 50 different shelters. “We are not one size fits all.” explains Jason. From inground concrete or metal storm shelters and aboveground concrete and metal saferooms to garage floor models, Survivor has something for every space limitation and preference. Survivor even offers decorative finishes for homeowners with discriminating taste. A 10 year manufacturer’s warranty for structural integrity comes standard. “I personally think every home and school should have one,“ Erin opines. In fact, Survivor has set out to overcome every challenge a customer might have for not having a shelter. If finances are a problem, Survivor offers two easy financing options. With low interest rates, a customer can finance a shelter through Communications Federal Credit Union with approved credit. If credit history is a problem, though, Survivor also offers a Lease-

to-Own option without a credit check requirement. A customer must simply pay the installation costs upfront, provide proof of employment and begin making payments on an installment plan. With so much passion about their mission and so much hard work to see that mission through, it is little wonder that Survivor has had a banner year and has earned a host of accolades, including the A+ rating by the Better Business Bureau. Moreover, Survivor continues to meet the highest of industry standards as certified through the American Tornado Shelter Association (ATSA). The most telling sign of success, however, can be seen in the row after row of framed photos that adorn the office walls—satisfied customers standing next to a newly installed shelter, a reminder of the lives that will be saved. Survivor understands, firsthand, the devastation that can occur when an area is hit by a tornado. It serves as a proud sponsor of the Channel 6 Storm Trackers, helping to warn Green Country of impending threats. Jason even drives for one of the teams: “When I see all of the devastation, I think there is just no reason for fatalities. With today’s technology and warning system, it’s foolish. I’ve answered all of the challenges.“ Providing protection for your loved ones has never been easier. Call Survivor Shelters, LLC today!

THE CLAREMORE HOME AND GARDEN SHOW

LOCAL FINDS FOR YOUR HOME AT THE CLAREMORE HOME AND GARDEN SHOW activities and so much more. “Most of our exhibitors are local companies that are within the Rogers County and Tulsa Metro areas,” said Tanya Andrews, Claremore Expo & Tourism Development Director. “These are hometown folks that do business in town, and we want our residents to have their information and to know what they’re capable of.” If you’re in need of new greenery or flowers, stop by the show’s popular plant sales to support some worthy causes. Gorgeous plants will be available from local non-profit organizations, including the Master Gardeners Association of Rogers County and the Claremore and Foyil Public Schools Future Farmers of America (FFA). These plant sale fundraisers have sold out during past shows, so come out to shop early. This year, the show will feature a

drawing for a $500 cash giveaway that will be held in the indoor arena. Some exhibitors will also be holding their own drawings, so drop your name into as many hats as you can find. You never know what you might win! Bring the little ones out to the Kid’s Zone to plant flowers, paint birdhouses and enjoy other kid-friendly activities. Allan Storjohann of the KRMG Gardening Show is slated to broadcast live from the expo on Saturday, April 7.

PREVENT THE PESTS PLAN NOW TO PREVENT ANT & TERMITE INFESTATIONS BY DANA PUGH

I

t’s spring cleanup time again, and that means raking leaves, gardening and working on your home’s curb appeal. Did you know that it’s also an ideal time to complete an annual pest inspection? Making a pest inspection part of your outdoor spring cleanup every year will keep your home safe from pests before they invade from the outside in. It’s also a great time for the Mother Nature’s Pest Control team to give you some pointers, such as where you may need to trim your trees or move your firewood piles, because these environmental factors are a huge part of prevention. “We can give an estimate based on square footage right over the phone, but we like to do the free inspections,” said Justin Buckmaster, General Manager, Mother Nature’s Pest Control. “It only takes 30-45 minutes of your time, and it gives us a chance to see any problems that are going on.” In March and April, Mother Nature’s Pest Control tends to get calls about ants that turn out to be termite infestations and vice versa.

16 |

VALUES

ROGERS COUNTY MARCH 2018

The two are easily mistaken for each other, but treatments for termite and ant infestations are very different. Ant infestations are usually treated with spray treatments that occur 4 times per year. The great thing about Mother Nature’s ant treatment is that it also covers several kinds of insects, so if your home is getting this treatment, you won’t have to worry about most other general pests either. Termite colonies are treated with a bait system, and it only needs to be serviced once per year. Termite treatment begins with an initial inspection and installation, and the bait stays active all year. They monitor the system for you, and if you have any concerns about its effectiveness you can give them a call anytime. The reason people often confuse flying ants and termites is because they are both winged insects, and another thing these two pests have in common is that they will both keep coming back if you don’t stop them. Justin explains, “You’re never going to get rid of them all, and you’re going to see them every year. We can


protect the home and treat the yard, but you’ll never get rid of them 100%.” His advice is to face it head-on every year with a preventative maintenance plan so that you don’t ever have to worry about infestations. When you begin any kind of pest treatment, Mother Nature’s will come out and do a ‘cleanout service’, which is a thorough treatment of both the inside and outside of your home. Then, the preventative maintenance plan addresses your specific needs, whether you’re dealing with general pests, bed bugs, rodents, or anything else. Mother Nature’s also takes your safety concerns very seriously. “Our technicians are taking precautions to apply these pesticides in an area that will be safe,” said Justin. “The manufacturing of sprayed pesticides has really changed since the ‘90s, it’s so much safer. As long as they’re fully dry they’re perfectly safe. We take all the possible risk factors into consideration, from pets to children to any health or safety concerns you may have.” Their careful consideration of your family’s safety begins with the decisions they make about which pesticide products to purchase and use. For example, their rodenticides were chosen partially because they have a bittering agent that acts as a strong deterrent for

curious children and pets. If any bait makes it into their mouths, the bitter taste means their natural reaction will be to spit it out rather than swallow it, potentially saving a life without sacrificing effectiveness. They also use tamper-proof boxes, carefully chosen pesticide products and they keep your safety in mind at all times. Mother Nature’s also offers additional pest control solutions ranging from lawn care, insulation, wildlife trapping and removal and even mold and fungus treatments. They also offer an insect control device called the Bug Hug’r Trap, which is a small, discreet box with a glue strip inside that safely attracts and traps insects. It lasts an entire year or until it is full. The glue is not exposed, so there’s no danger of getting stuck in it yourself. Once it’s used, all you have to do is throw it away and put a new one in it’s place. Stop by Mother Nature’s Pest Control to pick up your Bug Hug’r Trap or call to set up your free spring inspection today to protect your home from all kinds of pesky pests.

Lending officers have their own language. We try not to use unfamiliar jargon when working with customers, but “talking mortgage” is second nature to us. Let me clarify some lingo my customers have called me out on.

Talking Mortgage

1003, pronounced ten-o-three, is

simply your loan application. This is a uniform document all lenders use as their mortgage application.

LTV, loan-to-value. This is a ratio of what you owe on your home versus what it is worth. In a home purchase transaction, this is also your loan balance versus your purchase price. The industry uses the lower ratio — appraised or purchase price — as the value of the home. Therefore, your purchase LTV may be higher than your actual LTV if your appraisal comes in higher than your purchase price.

CLTV, combined loan-to-value.

This is like your LTV, but includes the overall loan amount versus the overall value when combining a first and second mortgage.

DTI, debt-to-income ratio. Also known as back-end ratio. A percentage of a consumer’s monthly gross income that goes toward paying debts. Front-end ratio, mortgageto-income ratio. Indicates which portion of an individual’s income is used to make mortgage payments. It is computed by dividing your projected monthly mortgage payment by your monthly gross income. Front-end and back-end ratios are used by lenders to determine how much you can afford to borrow. 18 |

PMI, private mortgage insurance.

Commonly referred to as MI or mortgage insurance. This is required on loans for which the buyer makes less than a 20 percent down payment or has less than 20 percent equity on a refinance. This insurance policy protects the lender in case the borrower ends up in foreclosure.

CD, closing disclosure. A required

disclosure given to all borrowers on mortgage loans three days prior to closing. This is a five-page document that details loan terms, payments, fees and other costs.

LE, loan estimate. This document

mirrors the closing disclosure, but is issued at the beginning of the loan application. Since the two documents look alike, it is easy to compare fees, costs and changes from start to finish.

LTV Hazard Insurance, homeowners insurance. When it is time to buy or refinance your home, talk to a local lender first. The more you know about the mortgage process, available loan options and your individual qualifications, the more satisfying your homebuying experience will be.

he National Fiddler Hall of Fame is celebrating their 10th year of inducting some of the greatest fiddle players in the world. This year’s class of inductees is a group that will shine like bright lights at the 2018 Induction Gala and Concert on March 30 at the Mabee Center in Tulsa. Over the past decade, dozens of outstanding musicians have been honored by the organization for their vast contributions to the art of fiddle and the world of music in general. These outstanding artists are truly awe-inspiring people who have overcome some of the toughest odds to do what they love most, and that is making music. The 2018 National Fiddler Hall of Fame celebrates this year’s class of inductees: Ricky Skaggs, Michael Cleveland, Violet Hensley, Bobby Hicks, Jeff Cook and Benny Martin. The National Fiddler Hall of Fame (NFHoF) was founded in 2007 and is headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The very first inductee was none other than the “greatest fiddle player of them all”, Mr. Bob Wills. What a great inaugural induction for the National Fiddler Hall of Fame. Where do you go from there, after honoring the iconic Bob Wills? You don’t have to search far to find extraordinary fiddle players, some of whom call Oklahoma home. Take a look at some of the NFHoF’s past inductees, you just might have heard of a few: Roy Acuff, Charlie Daniels, Jana Jae, Buddy Spicher, Jay Ungar, Johnny Lee Wills, Byron Berline, Kenny Baker, Stephane Grappelli, Doug

Kershaw, Curly Lewis, Stuff Smith, Mark O’Connor and many more. The 2017 inductees were the three fiddle players from the Time Jumpers, Joe Spivey, Larry Franklin and Kenny Sears. A fabulous event took place at the Mabee Center in Tulsa last February and included a concert by Vince Gil and the Time Jumpers. It was an intimate evening filled with melodic tunes as well as some foot stomping, hand-clapping, stand-to-yourfeet western swing. Bob Fjeldsted is the president of the National Fiddler Hall of Fame and has been with the organization from its inception. This year’s induction concert and gala promises to be a night filled with great fiddle music for all ages. While Bluegrass fiddle will dominate the evening, there is something for every musical palate. This year’s special recognition award will go to 15-time-Grammy award winner Ricky Skaggs, who, along with his band Kentucky Thunder, will give a full concert. Skaggs, who comes from a musical family, began singing and playing mandolin at age four and at age six, he shared the stage with the “Father of Bluegrass” Bill Monroe. His life’s path has led him to various musical genres, from bluegrass to striking out new musical journeys, while still leaving his musical roots intact. Ricky has been performing and recording his chart-topping hits for over 50 years and continues to do his part to lead the recent roots revival in music. Tickets for the 2018 National Fiddler Hall of Fame are available by calling the Mabee Center at (918) 495-6000 or online at www.mabeecenter.com. VIP and reserved seating tickets are available. VIP seating includes table seating, light hors d’oeuvres, a pre-show by the bluegrass band The Baker Family, and a meet and greet with the artists and inductees. Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder

MICHAEL CLEVELAND,

JEFF COOK. Yet another inspirational force in this

year’s lineup of inductees is a multi-Grammy award winner and one-third founding member of the band Alabama. Known for his “hot licks” on the fiddle, Cook announced last April that he would be limiting his touring schedule due to complications associated with Parkinson’s disease. Jeff ’s faith and positive outlook keep him hopeful of improved health and is optimistic to once again join cousins Randy Owen and Teddy Gentry on tour. Recently, Jeff sent word that he is planning, health permitting, to attend the 2018 NFHoF gala and concert.

who was born completely blind and as a child lost 80% of his hearing in his left ear, picked up a fiddle at age four. At age nine, he was invited to jam with the legendary Bill Monroe at the Bean Blossom Bluegrass Festival. Soon after, Cleveland brought his virtuosic style to the Grand Ole Opry as a guest of Alison Krauss. In 2006 Cleveland formed his own band Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper. This year, Cleveland received a Grammy nomination in the Best Bluegrass Album category for his solo release, Fiddler’s Dream.

BOBBY HICKS, who learned to play the fiddle

at the ripe young age of nine, won the North Carolina State Championship at eleven and was playing fiddle with Bill Monroe’s Bluegrass Boys by 1954. Monroe dubbed Hicks as “the truest fiddler he had ever heard”. In 1981 Hicks joined Ricky Skaggs band, a stint that lasted for 23 years. Hicks is a 10-time Grammy winner and has been with the Grand Ole Opry for over 60 years.

BENNY MARTIN,

who began playing fiddle as a child, set out for Nashville in his early teens to pursue a career in country music. In 1950, he joined Roy Acuff’s Smoky Mountain Boys on the Grand Ole Opry. Martin also had his own show, The Benny Martin Show. Benny Martin died in 2001.

VIOLET HENSLEY.

While most people won’t live to see their hundredth birthday, this whittling fireball is still dazzling audiences with her show stopping fiddle playing. Hensley celebrated her 101st birthday last year and remarks that she takes life one day at a time. Known for her signature move playing her handcrafted fiddle atop her head while clogging to her dynamic delivery of one-line zingers, Violet has carved her niche in fiddle history. Entertaining audiences for over five decades, Hensley is going strong and still performs at Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri.

he beginning of a new year marks the annual pledge many of us make for healthier eating habits after the long gluttonous run from Halloween thru New Year’s day. With the heft of the holidays weighing in both body and mind comes the desire for clean, simple, lighter eating. Cue popcorn. Popcorn is a simple yet satisfying whole grain.

Eating a little more here means you’ll eat a little less there. Yet health and wellness-minded consumers today look for added nutrients to boost the system.

Powders, herbs, ground roots, seeds, and spices like turmeric, matcha, maca, and chia can make your snacks more nutrient rich. And while there’s no substitute for a balanced diet, pairing these on-trend ingredients with whole grain popcorn is a natural.

he idea of a fountain of youth goes back as far as history records have been kept. It is the talk of myths and legends dating back to at least the days of Alexander the Great. It is no surprise that many people the world over want to stay young and healthy as long as possible while maintaining their youthful energy. The Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon thought he would find this fountain in what is present day Florida, but even he would be shocked by what researchers found in only four known water springs today. Nobel Prize nominee Dr. Garth Nicolson, has been researching the properties of these water sources after hearing many claims these waters held healing benefits when people drank from it. These claims go back centuries, and even wealthy celebrities have been known to visit these unique springs for their special benefits. The question is, could these springs truly be some type of “fountain of youth” or healing water source? This started a journey of discovery unlike anything he could imagine. “What we found was amazing, and we knew this was a life changing discovery,” Nicolson says. What his research uncovered after multiple tests from these sources was shocking. The water samples taken revealed these springs have one specific element to the water not found anywhere else naturally on earth. These waters contain large amounts of hydrogen. According to Nobel Prize winning scientist Albert SzentGyörgyi, hydrogen is considered the most powerful known anti-oxidant on earth. The significance of this discovery revolutionizes everything we know about water and it’s relationship with anti-oxidants. The scientific studies demonstrating the benefits of antioxidants are unprecedented when it comes to the number of benefits. Some of these benefits are the protection of cells in the body from dangerous free radicals that age our cells. These free radicals oxidize our cells internally much the same way metals rust and apples turn brown when exposed to air. These free radicals are found in our environment and the food we eat everyday thus leading to increased aging of the body, with some becoming chronically ill. Drinking hydrogen enriched water, floods the cells of the body with anti-oxidants and protects them from the aging process. These anti-oxidants can also be found in a host of

30 |

VALUES

ROGERS COUNTY MARCH 2018

fruits and vegetables, but water is the most effective delivery system for these anti-oxidants to reach our cells because of the molecular properties of hydrogen in the water. Japanese scientists have also taken note of this discovery, and the people of Japan experience some of the best health and longevity of any country in the world. One company has even pioneered a patented way to have this hydrogen rich anti-oxidant water for home use. The device was also awarded numerous patents world-wide, and has produced such great results it is even used in hospitals across Japan. It is estimated that as many as 20% of households in Japan now also use this exciting technology. Using their innovative process, anyone can now have access to this life changing water and experience the benefits. Many individuals that have struggled for years with the debilitating pain from gout, arthritis, inflammation, diabetes, fibromyalgia, high blood pressure, and a host of other issues have reported amazing benefits from drinking this unique water. Some have reported feeling younger and having more energy throughout the day. Others have reported healthier skin and hair after using this special water. After experiencing some of these benefits first hand Brent Nicholson and his wife Rhonda founded a local green country company called IO Pure. They are very passionate about helping others and spreading the word about this unique water “I find a lot of people are worried about what is in their water and whether it is safe to drink or not.” “I also find others are looking for relief from chronic issues like diabetes, high blood pressure, gout, and arthritis,” Brent says. He and his wife Rhonda are also giving away free samples of this exciting antioxidant water. If any of this sounds interesting, looks good, or just feels right, you can call 918-747-9100.

By Amy Beth Dobbins

enjamin Franklin said, “By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.” Life circumstances can change in a blink of an eye. It is important to put together a good estate plan to help both you and your loved ones in times of transition. An estate plan, properly in place, should do two things: protect you and your assets while you are alive and ensure that your property passes to your loved ones as you wish and for their benefit upon your death. A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that is a helpful tool in an estate plan. It enables you to grant another individual the ability to make decisions in your place and on your behalf while you are still living. There are varying types of powers of attorney, and the scope of powers is determined by the legal document that is drafted. For instance, you may elect to give your attorneyin-fact the power to handle only financial affairs on your behalf; only healthcare decisions; or both. A POA may become effective immediately or

34 |

VALUES

ROGERS COUNTY MARCH 2018

may “spring” into effect at a later date, such as at the time if you were to become incompetent to make your own decisions. A POA can give you peace of mind that someone will be able to handle your affairs and see to your proper care if ever it is needed. A Living Will, also known as an Advanced Directive for Health Care, is another legal document that should be considered. It gives you the ability to instruct and control, to some extent, your end-of-life medical treatment and care. For instance, within the Living Will, you are able to determine whether or not you would want the artificial administration of nutrition or hydration. Further, you are able to direct whether or not you desire organ donation, and, if so, to what extent. A Living Will allows you to appoint a person to oversee your wishes and to communicate same with the attending medical professionals. Finally, an instrument that disposes of your property following your death is important to


ensure that your loved ones are provided for. Two instruments that are effective in doing this are a Will or a Living Trust. A Will is a simple document, stating how your property should pass at the time of your death. It does not affect your property until the time of death. A Living Trust is an instrument that manages your property throughout your lifetime and distributes it upon death. As changes in property occur, the Living Trust must be updated. A qualified attorney and/or tax professional should be consulted before establishing an estate plan that best fits your needs.
