Not unlike a perennial, the Claremore Home & Garden Show will be making its reappearance this spring in Claremore.

Oklahoma’s Number One Ranking for Disabled Veterans (Shutterstock photo)
BY REP. JAY STEAGALL, R-YUKON, AND SEN. J.J. DOSSETT, D-OWASSO
R
ep. Jay Steagall, R-Yukon, and Sen. J.J. Dossett, D-Owasso, House and Senate Chairs of the Oklahoma Legislative Veterans Caucus, today applauded the hard work of the Oklahoma Department of Veterans Affairs (ODVA), as well as numerous veteran service organizations, who worked to make Oklahoma number one among the 50 states for veterans, per capita, in receipt of federal, service-connected disability benefits. “Often times disabled veterans either don’t know what resources are available to them, or choose not to ask for help,” Steagall said. “Here in Oklahoma, the ODVA along with our many excellent veteran service organizations have done a great job supporting our disabled veterans and breaking down the stigma that is attached to asking for help. We are not only the number one state for veterans who are receiving disability benefits, but in my opinion we are the most veteran-friendly state in

the nation. It is my hope that our nation’s veterans continue to make Oklahoma their home once their time in the service has ended.” According to the ODVA, out of approximately 300,000 Oklahoma veterans, there are about 100,000 veterans with some level of serviceconnected disability. Serviceconnected disability means that the federal VA has established that a veteran has a compensable injury or medical condition resulting from military service. For the 100,000 service-connected, disabled Oklahoma veterans, this reflects $2.4 billion provided directly to the individual veterans. “These numbers reflect Oklahoma’s commitment to working with and for our veterans and service members to ensure that their transition from service to civilian life is made as seamless as possible,” Dossett said. “While these numbers are exciting and should be celebrated, our work is never
VALUE NEWS ROGERS COUNTY MARCH 2022 WWW.VALUENEWS.COM
done when it comes to supporting our veterans. I am committed to working with ODVA and our veteran service organizations on policies that continue to support both the physical and mental health of veterans so that these impressive numbers can continue to grow in the future.” ODVA estimates that nearly half of the Oklahoma veterans who are eligible for compensation for injuries and/or medical conditions arising from military service have not yet applied. Oklahoma veterans who need assistance with filing a claim for service-connected disability are invited to call or visit on-line: (405) 523-4000; www. oklahoma.gov/veterans.

Walk a Mile in Their Shoes Fundraiser Benefits Safenet Services BY TOM FINK

afenet Services is asking people to put themselves in the shoes of those affected by sexual or domestic violence — literally. Walk a Mile in Their Shoes is a family friendly walk-a-thon with

the goal of bringing attention to sexual assault and domestic violence in the Claremore community by challenging participants to literally walk 1 mile in a victim’s proverbial shoes. “This is an awareness and a fundraising event held in April – which is Sexual Assault Awareness Month – to, fittingly, raise awareness about sexual assault,” said Allison LaFever, Safenet Services development specialist. “Essentially, we invite family, friends, and community members to come walk with us in honor of the survivors and victims who have been through sexual assault.” In the past, this event partnered with the national fundraiser, Walk
VALUE NEWS ROGERS COUNTY MARCH 2022 WWW.VALUENEWS.COM
a Mile in Her Shoes, but Safenet decided to alter the event title to Walk a Mile in Their Shoes to reflect that the event is more focused on the communities it serves, in this case, Rogers and Mayes Counties. “And to bring more inclusivity, because sexual assault is not limited to only women,” added Jody Reiss, Safenet Services, executive director. This year’s event will be held on two separate dates – one in each county, Salina and Claremore – to allow greater opportunities for participation, LaFever said. “As teal is the color for sexual assault awareness, we’re going to try and launch an initiative (in Claremore) called ‘Turn the Town Teal’,” she said. “I’m currently working with one of the members of the Claremore Chamber on this,

which would essentially add teal to many aspects of the downtown area – lights in the shops, ribbons on the benches and storefronts, etc.” Registration is required and may be accessed through scanning the QR code which links to Eventbrite, and both LaFever and Reiss are encouraging peer-to-peer fundraising for this event. “Peer-to-peer fundraising is when individuals organize personal campaigns to collect donations from their peers,” Reiss said. “That kind of hits two avenues in that, one, it creates more awareness when they ask their friends to donate to the cause, and two, it can motivate other people to participate in the event itself, as well as fundraise.” Fundraising benefits not only
Safenet, but with money raised from peer-to-peer fundraising, if a person raises up to $1,000 or more, they may be eligible – thanks to a partnership with local businesses – for a free month of unlimited classes from Ethos Yoga Studio, a free water bottle, a free tea or shake at 6:19 Nutrition, and/or a Safenet vinyl sticker. Some of the awareness raised through the event involves the shocking statistics and dispelling myths often associated with sexual assault. “In Oklahoma among adults, 12.2 percent of women and 2.1 of men have ever had sex without their consent and nationally,” LaFever said. “Among some of the myths people believe (about sexual assault) are that a person asks
Pledge to raise funds for Walk a Mile in Their Shoes. Scan. Click. Go! for it, that men aren’t at risk, or that victims just want revenge or attention, but the truth is that no one asks to be (sexually) assaulted under any circumstances, one in 12 men are victims of sexual assault, and they’re less likely to report it, and less than 2 percent of all reported rapes are false accusations.” While Walk a Mile in Their Shoes raises awareness, the financial support it garners allows Safenet Services to continue providing essential services such as, our 24-hour crisis line, counseling, empowerment education, victim advocacy and domestic abuse & sexual assault shelter to name a few. All monies raised or donated to Safenet Services are tax-deductible. Walk a Mile in Their Shoes will be held Saturday, April 9, in Salina from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Salina Park (behind the Salina Public Library), and Saturday, April 16, at Rogers State University in Claremore, also from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information about the Walk a Mile in Their Shoes event or to contact Safenet Services, call 918-341-1424 or visit them online at www.safenetservices.org.

entries, it’s really hard to get them all in before the rodeo performance starts,” she continued. “So, we started hosting a qualifier, of which, the top 45 contestants will perform at the rodeo. Those performances are split up over the three nights (of the rodeo), so there are 15 (performances) each night.” Andrews said the event helps involve children and make them feel like they’re a more active part of the rodeo, with small cash prizes going to the top mutton busters. Additional entertainment will be provided in the form of a calf scramble, sponsored by Carrie Robinson, The Ross Team and Pembrook Reality, the One Armed Bandit John Payne, and Bobby Reid, who literally drops in on all the action. “Bobby (Reid) is a ‘jumper’ – he jumps out of a plane,” Andrews said. “He was here last year and did a fabulous job – he flies over (rodeo grounds) in a plane and jumps out with a parachute that opens up into an American flag. He comes in right after the national anthem is sung – it’s a great thing to see.” Prior to the beginning of this
year’s rodeo, there will be a steer roping event in honor of the longtime rodeo advocate and promoter, the late Clem McSpadden. “It will just be steer roping Thursday night (May 26), which will give contestants a chance to compete outside of the normal dates scheduled for the rodeo – it’s a large contestant pool – we have numerous entrants who come in just for the steer roping,” Andrews said. “So that will allow for time for other events, such as the timed events, during the rodeo itself.” All competitors at the rodeo are Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association-certified. Mutton Bustin begins at 7 p.m. with the PRCAsanctioned events to begin at 8 p.m. each night.
The 76th annual PRCA Will Rogers Stampede Rodeo will be held Memorial weekend, from Friday, May 27, through Sunday, May 29, at the Will Rogers Stampede Arena, 13601 E. 480 Road in Claremore. This year, Visit Claremore is partnering with Claremore Main Street and the Claremore Chamber of Commerce to host the Boots on the Boulevard food truck night Thursday, May 26, from 6-9 p.m. with activities for children, including a mechanical bull, live music, a street dance and more.

Home of Hope’s Golf Classic, ‘19th Hole’ Silent Auction Returns BY TOM FINK
F
or generations, Home of Hope has served members of the community dealing with intellectual or developmental disadvantages to create opportunities and provide, as the name implies, hope. Hope for a better life. Hope to contribute to society. Hope to have the opportunity to make a difference. One means by which Home of Hope does this is by way of its annual benefit golf tournament, the proceeds of which go to benefit the Home of Hope subsidiary, Rogers County Training Center. This spring will see the return of this annual tournament when Home of Hope welcomes back the 37th annual Rogers County Training Center Golf Classic & ‘19th Hole Silent Auction.” As in the past, this year’s tournament will be a four-man scramble with designated tee times and flights. Home-cooked hamburgers, hot dogs, lots of exciting golf games, and even the opportunity
18 |
to win a “super prize” for the skilled golfer who makes a hole-in-one are only a fraction of the fun to be had the day of the tournament. In addition to the golfing, the ‘19th Hole’ Silent Auction will be taking place during this time at the clubhouse, where interesting, fun, unusual, and elegant items will be showcased. Friendly online bidding will be in full swing starting Friday, April 29, at noon. Golfers, or those who just like to shop, can view the items at the Heritage Hills clubhouse during the week leading up to the event. The auction will close at 5 p.m. on May 6. Winning bidders can pick up their items from 5 to 6 p.m. at the clubhouse or during the following week at the Rogers County Training Center. Follow the Home of Hope Facebook page for silent auction updates. All proceeds from the tournament and the silent auction go to support those with developmental and other disabilities at the Rogers County Training Center in Claremore and other Home of Hope job sites in the community. “The whole point of the Rogers County Training Center, which has been a part of Home of Hope for years, is to
VALUE NEWS ROGERS COUNTY MARCH 2022 WWW.VALUENEWS.COM
empower people with disabilities,” said Ralph Richardson, CEO, Home of Hope. “We work with 270 people with intellectual and developmental disabilities here in northeastern Oklahoma – that’s in Vinita, Miami, Pryor, Jay and Claremore. “We provide neighborhood service (for clients) in homes in the community – we have just over 60 different homes at present,” he continued, “but the training center is all about jobs, and jobs for persons with disabilities. Home of Hope as a whole employs roughly 200 people with disabilities – about 40 of those are in Claremore, here at the training center or through our recycling program, which is part of our partnership with the Metropolitan Environmental Trust (MET).” In addition to the work training center and the recycling program, Home of Hope clients can work at the thrift store, Centsible Spending Resale Store in downtown Claremore. Centsible Spending provides employment for persons with disabilities, as well as job coaches, and operates on donated goods, such as household items, books, clothing
and more. Donations are accepted at the Claremore location and, like donations directly to Home of Hope, are tax deductible. In addition to helping its clients through giving them a means to be productive and purposeful, Home of Hope and Rogers County Training Center also benefit the communities it serves through providing a dedicated and earnest workforce. “I think one of the most recent statistics of U.S. overall employment is 57 percent, but the disability employment rate of those within the U.S. is roughly 17 percent – shockingly low,” he said. “That’s not a new problem, but compared to 2019 – when the rate of those with disabilities were employed was at 19 percent – it’s actually going down. Part of this may be due to COVID, but ironically, I think there’s a tightening job market (for those with disabilities). You would think everyone’s trying to hire because of the workforce shortage, but the reality is that many small businesses are struggling to stay open, and it becomes harder for a person with a disability to ‘get their foot in the door’ and get employed. The biggest challenge for so many is entry
– it’s getting hired. “Sadly, we do not do well as a nation employing people with disabilities,” he said, “which makes what we do at Home of Hope and at the training center in Rogers County all the more important.” Founded in 1963, the Rogers County Training Center in Claremore creates those important vocational opportunities for adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities, while also providing local businesses with labor, either on a temporary, intermittent or permanent basis. Much of what Home of Hope offers would be impossible without funds raised through the annual golf tournament. “The golf tournament is a critical part of what allows us to continue to help our clients and contribute to the community,” he said. “Plus, we’re always looking for business partners who need support, and people who are supported by us, coached by us, trained by us, could come and be a part of working and resolving the problems they have at our partners or organizations that are understaffed.” The tournament is made possible by BancFirst, who through volunteers, coordination, planning, and participation have been “instrumental from the very first year of the tournament until today in making this event such a success,” Richardson said. Other major event sponsors include HydroHoist, McfarlinIngersoll Ranch, Goldie’s

lder homes can be made more energy efficient with smart upgrades that result in lower utility bills, and added benefits of increasing the value, comfort and beauty of your home. Investing in your home’s exterior, windows, attic, and roof are all environmentally-friendly improvements with energy-saving payoffs. Millennials (in 2022 ages 25 and 40 years) are one of the largest home buying segments today. They are economical and are ecological-minded purchasers whose buying decisions rest on energy efficiency to save money and leave a lower carbon footprint. Community Builders, Inc. is a local team who provides answers to your home energy efficiency needs. Owner Greg Wolter started Community Builders, Inc. in his bedroom in the early 1980s. By 1990, they had moved into a building, and nearly every year since then, have seen steady growth in sales. Starting with siding, the company has expanded over the years to its now all-inclusive specialty home improvement services including windows, roofing, bathrooms, sunrooms, insulation, gutters and doors. “My passion for this company is two-fold. First, I want to see the people that work here improve their lives… We constantly talk about how we can become better human beings. And then, we want to make sure we take care of our customers and that they get a good value,” Wolter said. Windows, doors, and insulation are three areas where minor change can make a major impact. In fact, Community
Builders, Inc. has helped customers reduce their utility costs by 50 percent, just by upgrading windows and insulation. Their energy efficient products include EnviroView replacement windows, Green Energy Barrier radiant insulation, Cedar Ridge composite siding, and insulated 26 gauge steel metal roofing. They offer seven styles of windows, and each are installed with a low-e coating and airtight seal, giving them heightened ability to keep hot air out during the summer, and in during the winter. Their doors are durable, high quality and high performance. Also installed with a customfit to make an airtight seal, a door from Community Builders, Inc. will stop drafts and reduce your energy bills. They use energy-barrier material in their insulation, which reflects heat energy, instead of merely slowing down its absorption. Wolter said, “Think of insulation like a sponge. Eventually, a sponge gets saturated and can’t soak anything else in. Insulation is the same way, it blocks for a while, then gets full and doesn’t do any good. If you can reflect that energy off of it, the insulation works better for a longer period of time. That’s what the energy-barrier material does.” What do you think pollutes the most? A plane? A train? A car? Or, a house? “Most people think it’s a car, but it’s your house,” Wolter said. “Your house pollutes the environment more than anything else. If we can improve the efficiency of a home, then we also reduce the carbon footprint, which of course

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

hen planning your kitchen or bath remodel, one of the most important considerations is to know exactly what you want. That’s mainly because that decision affects the entire flow of your project. When you don’t know exactly what you want you will drive contractors crazy, drain time and increase expenses. Premium Cabinets of Tulsa, are here to help you with undoubtedly the most important part of your kitchen remodeling decision – the cabinetry.

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

We’ve seen other companies be as far as 28 weeks out, on average, and we are able to deliver product ahead of our competitors.” Owner Austin Gullic established his company with his father in 2010 and has steadily earned a solid reputation of reliability and quality product and work. Many choices of wood cabinetry styles and color schemes are available to choose from and find just the right look to achieve the new appearance of your home. To further aid in this goal, Premium Cabinets offers a free 3D design tour, giving customers an immediate visual of their desired project outcome. “We’re actually one of the first people

It’s hard to see your own space objectively as you have used it through time. The 3D helps clarify what we believe is a good idea versus what actually fits the space.” One of the greatest advantages of any company is the love of the business that the owner has for his design and construction. “I love taking people’s ideas and creating something that is real, that is what they consider reality altering,” Gullic emphasized. “I love helping clients create that dream; and making it come true.”

There will be no question about the authenticity of what they’re producing. This will be the definitive attraction for travelers wanting to learn more about Native American culture.” “The Spirit of Collaboration” exhibit will coincide with the opening of the Vault Gallery, 6-8 p.m. Friday, Feb. 11, 2022.
