County Fair Premium Sale Benefits Local Youth Through Raising Funds, Character

BY TOM FINK

F

or more than 100 years, the Rogers County Fair has drawn livestock exhibitors from across the county to compete, with those earning top honors getting the opportunity to qualify for the Rogers County Junior Premium Sale.

Working in conjunction with the Rogers County Fair Board, the Rogers County Premium Auction Committee (RCPAC) organizes the premium sale honoring the hard work of the top livestock exhibitors.

The premium auction supports several students within Rogers County’s 4-H and FFA programs.

These funds aid in their future agriculture project endeavors, as well as their education goals.

“Premium sale participants, the ‘top cut’ of all of the livestock species shown – this includes beef, swine, sheep, goats and dairy,” said Susan Gebhart, committee member. “Of the species, the top 81 make the sale, so when you have a premium sale, the

option is for it to be what’s called a terminal sale – this means that the animal actually changes hands, versus one where it’s just a ‘premium sale’, and that means, the students get a monetary award, and the animals

“The students aren’t just investing in their project, their investing in themselves, teaching themselves habits that will carry them into the future in their careers, relationships, lives.” do not change ownership, but the money does go to the students.

“This allows them the option to re-invest in their next livestock project, or put it in their college fund, which is what a lot of these kids do,” she said.

Kids, for example, like Meggie

Froman-Knight.

“When I was a student, I was in both FFA and 4-H, and the experience of showing cattle taught me skills that have benefited me throughout my life,” FromanKnight said. “After I was out of high school, I used what I’d won at the premium sale to help pay for my undergraduate degree, but the sale and all the work leading up to the sale itself taught me life skills that have benefited me.”

Last year, more than $211,000 was raised at the premium sale – roughly $2,600 per student.

“This community has historically been very generous and very supportive of the youth, and the success of the premium sale is certainly evidence of that,” Gebhart said. “What the premium sale committee does, being a non-profit organization, is to handle the sale itself as well as the logistics, the overhead expenses that occur from year to year, reporting, photographs,

the dinner that precedes the sale as well as the sale itself – a lot of that happens either through volunteer efforts, donations, or things which are supplied to us at a reduced price.

Even so, there is overhead which occurs, so when those kids get their bid, a small percentage is taken out for the overhead, but the rest of it goes directly to the students.”

“You learn so much through the competition and the sale – you learn project management, finances and time management, several life skills,” Froman-Knight said. “The students aren’t just investing in their project, they’re investing in themselves, teaching themselves habits that will carry them into the future in their careers, relationships, lives. We see these students are typically the shining stars, and ultimately, this (event) isn’t just about the sale, it’s about changing student’s habits,

character and lives.”

Gebhart concurs.

“This sale is a fundraiser that’s clearly excellence-driven – this is totally based on the kid’s performance and their work ethic,” she said. “Those who are involved in agriculture in this county have a real vested interest in making sure that those kinds of young people make it into the agriculture industry as adults, but even if they don’t choose a career path in ag, there are still many who have a life that’s impacted directly by agriculture. They might be a banker by day, but still run cattle in the evenings and on the weekends.

“Also, I believe that even people who aren’t involved in agriculture still recognize the value in raising kids who have a strong work ethic and character, kids who are in the barn or field and staying out of trouble,” she said. “Lessons that the

students learn competing at the fair and the premium sale are lessons that they’ll take with them throughout their life, no matter what they do.”

The Rogers County Youth Livestock Premium Sale is slated for Monday, Sept. 16, at the Claremore Expo, following the Rogers County Fair at the Claremore Expo Center.

“When Cathy was First Lady of Oklahoma, she was very focused on women’s health in the state, so she’s both a great leader herself, as well as an advocate and proponent of women’s health and health issues,” said Claremore Chamber President Barby Myers. “We’re very excited to be welcoming her to Claremore and this special event.”

inside all winter and are antsy and wanting to get back outside.”

Although TNG has long carried American Landmaster Go-Karts, it wasn’t until recent months that he began to offer Odes and Hisun Sideby-Sides, both of which brands have exceptional warranty options.

“Odes has one of the best warranties out on the market – five years on the engine, three years on the complete unit, and you can even buy an extended warranty on them,” he said. “As far as the Hisun goes, they carry a three-year warranty, unlike some other brands that may only carry a one-year warranty.”

Left: Whether it’s upkeep on your garden or going for an evening drive around the lake, the Landstar UTV series by American Landmaster is great for hauling cargo, towing and recreational use.

One of the more popular Odes Side-by-Sides is the Strike 250, which is powered by a 4-stroke cylinder OHC engine with an automatic CTV transmission and independent dual a-arm suspension and is outfitted with accessories that include a roof, windshield, doors and a 2,500 lb synthetic rope winch.

Financing is available, as is a Christmas layaway program.

“

You won’t find better service than from us, and we want to help our customers find whatever they need.

We go above and beyond, no matter the season.

“

“On our Christmas layaway, people can put a Side-by-Side or Go Kart in (lay-away) and have until Dec. 15 to have it paid for,” he said. “These items make great gifts, whether for Christmas or any occasion, and can be enjoyed by not only the kids they’re purchased for, but their parents as well, or even their

grandparents. A Side-by-Side is an all-around high value when it comes to fun and entertainment.”

Johnson, who owns a Side-by-Side himself, noted that TNG is the only dealer of Side-by-Sides in Rogers County, with pickup and delivery service available.

“They’re just a fun source of recreation – very relaxing,” he said.

“We usually go out to Keystone and ride, but no matter where you go, the fun is always the same.”

And with fall’s arrival, so comes the winter, and the need to heat the home.

“We’re getting back into the time of the year when people start thinking about a heating source for their home – one that will last them for years – and we have just the thing with our wood pellet stoves,” Johnson said. “What’s great about pellet stoves is you just can put just a handful of wood pellets in them, and they’ll put out 50,000 BTW. This is like a furnace, but it’s a very

regulated heat, so you don’t get the extreme heat you might get from a cast-iron stove – it’s much more controlled, much more comfortable.”

Other advantages of wood stoves include their ease of use, automatic ignition, power modulation, and they are much more environmentallyfriendly due to the CO2-neutral fuel.

Johnson said Regency and Hampton brand Wood Stoves will be added to the showroom floor as winter draws closer, but inquiries are always welcome. Generators, chain saws and other weather-ready power equipment also are available.

TNG Power Equipment, Inc. is located at 2100 S. Highway 66 in Claremore. Hours of operation are 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays, or until “the last customer is taken care of.”

“Something I always emphasize is that we pride ourselves on service – you won’t find better service than from us, and we want to help our customers find whatever they need.

We go above and beyond, no matter the season,” he said.

Baby boutique opens in downtown Claremore

BY TOM FINK

N

ecessity, as it’s been said, is the mother of invention.

In the case of Claremore’s newest – and exclusive -- baby boutique, The District Baby, necessity was invention’s “mother” in every sense of the word.

Just ask shop owner Cari Bohannan.

“We opened The District on Main (women’s clothing boutique) in October 2012, and what led me

to decide to open the baby store was that I had an employee – two employees, actually – who were expecting, and there was really nowhere in Claremore that they could buy baby gifts,” said Cari Bohannan, owner of The District on Main and The District Baby. “In response to this need, we started a small section at The District – about 4x4 foot area – to offer baby items.”

According to Bohannan, her small offering of baby items at The District turned out to be “extremely popular” with her shoppers, so after discussion with her employees and members of the public, she decided to open a second “District” shop to offer “baby only” items.

“We knew of one business downtown – Outwest Home Décor – that the owner there was going to be retiring, so we felt it would be a good opportunity for us to take the plunge and open a baby store,” she said. “We

offer a large selection of items from newborn to 4-year-old/toddler – clothing, shoes, toys, gifts, books and various necessity items.”

In keeping with her personal high standard for quality, Bohannan’s shop carries several recognizable and affordable quality brands such as Little Unicorn (diaper bags, blankets, car seat accessories and more), Copper Pearl baby gear (custom bibs, blankets and more), Aden + Anais blankets, quilts, swaddles, towels and much more.

In the clothing department, brands carried include Milk Barn, which features certified organic cotton, a bamboo/cotton blend, and adorable prints in regular overalls, ruffle or dress overalls, joggers, dress and leggings, organic or bamboo dresses and bloomers, headbands, rompers, hooded rompers, organic zippered pajamas and more.

Above: Owner Cari Bohannan recently openened a baby item only business, The District Baby, only a few doors down from her boutique, The District on Main.

Left: The District Baby has all kinds of baby clothes in various sizes, styles and colors.

VALUES ROGERS COUNTY SEPTEMBER 2019 WWW.VALUENEWS.COM

“We also carry RuggedButts and RuffleButts brands, Kickee Pants, Magnetic Me, which are magnetic closure pajamas, and an easy way to dress a baby,” Bohannan said.

Melissa & Doug toys, and Plan toys, which are a lot of classic wooden toys and specialize in “sustainable play,” and much more, decorate the shelves for parents and grandparents of the youngest set.

“There’s really no other shop in Claremore that carries what we have – people would have to drive to Tulsa or maybe Owasso to find the selection we have, and we’re thrilled to be here for that, as well as to encourage people to shop locally – keep those tax dollars here in Claremore.”

“We’re going to be offering gift registries, which is something that’s not (available) in Claremore, so that people don’t have to drive into Tulsa to get a baby gift,” she said, “or if they need a last-minute baby gift or baby shower gift, they can come to us and find what they need.”

So great was the need for a baby boutique in Claremore, The District Baby even drew customers before it was open for business.

“Our official first day of business was Monday, Aug. 12, but we had customers coming in the week before we were open to look around, see what we had, learn more about us,” she said. “The Friday before we opened, we had three customers come in the door, and they actually bought stuff. That was very good to see – people getting excited about us before we were really open. This told us in advance that this (business) was a good idea and one which would benefit a lot of people.”

Bohannan said she’s particularly excited about The District Baby in that it offers Claremore and Rogers

County residents an alternative to having to seek out items elsewhere.

“There’s really no other shop in Claremore that carries what we have – people would have to drive to Tulsa or maybe Owasso to find the selection we have, and we’re thrilled to be here for that, as well as to encourage people to shop locally – keep those tax dollars here in Claremore,” she said.

“This is a great way for us to give back to the community.”

The District Baby is located at 418 W. Will Rogers Boulevard (main street) in Claremore. Hours of operation are 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday.

A Lasting Investment

BY FRANK AND MAVEN

I

’m sure you’ve heard the Will Rogers quote, “If you don’t like the weather in Oklahoma, wait a minute and it’ll change.” While that’s great for those of us who are easily bored with dreary skies, it’s not as good for the concrete and wood that surrounds our homes.

But you can’t change the weather, so what can you do? PermaSeal has the solution!

What exactly is PermaSeal? It’s much more than a protective topcoat. Simply put, PermaSeal is a product that restores concrete

and wood. The benefits are endless. It not only refurbishes wood and concrete, but makes them 23% stronger, and applies a waterproof sealant. Further decay and rot are no longer a concern once PermaSeal has been applied.

PermaSeal can be used on new concrete and wood structures or existing ones as well. PermaSeal has worked on driveways that have years of damage from salt and sand from winters and by the time PermaSeal is applied, they look nearly new. It’s an amazing

VALUES ROGERS COUNTY SEPTEMBER 2019 WWW.VALUENEWS.COM

product. Driveways, fences, decks, pergolas, gazebos and boat decks and slips are just a few of the investments PermaSeal can protect.

But, one item people may not think of are their saltwater pools.

Salt naturally eats away at nearly everything, so we can protect your backyard oasis too.

Another beaming review by Gene and Debbie of St. Louis quoted, “I would like to take this opportunity to let you know that our cedar deck looks just like new.

The deck was only 3 years old

surfaces simply need to be rinsed or lightly power washed. Use your time to enjoy your home instead of worrying about constant upkeep. In a testimonial by Ed and Jenny W. of O’Fallon, Missouri, the satisfied customers noted, “We built our house three years ago including the cedar deck, as soon as we moved in we stained the deck and it looked great.

BEFORE but had a lot of wear on all the horizontal boards. Your crew was able to clean the deck and bring the cedar look back to its original state.

I have noticed that the sealer you applied has made the wood harder, and it actually feels more dense.”

In addition to PermaSeal’s phenomenal product, another important aspect to their brand is their attentiveness and care they maintain toward their customers.

A review left by Rachael Jurgena stated, “The PermaSeal team was fantastic from the start! From calling in to make an appointment, to them coming out to do the job.

They were kind, knowledgeable and hardworking! Always great to answer any questions we had along the way!”

Of course, it doesn’t hurt that PermaSeal also makes maintenance much easier. Treated

AFTER

“The PermaSeal team was fantastic from the start! From calling in to make an appointment, to them coming out to do the job.

They were kind, knowledgeable and hardworking!”

Unfortunately, it only looked good for about six months. We knew we had to do something to protect our investment, and we weren’t excited about the prospect of

having to stain it to maintain it.

Thank goodness for PermaSeal, your team came out and permanently sealed the deck. Now it looks just like the day we moved in. Cleaning it is a breeze, no need to power wash it, simply hose it down. We can highly recommend PermaSeal to everyone that is looking for peace of mind!”

The fact that the company stands behind its product speaks volumes.

TRADITION & EXCITEMENT CELEBRATE AT THE GRΣΣK FΣSTIVΛL

BY TERESA BOND-MASON

S

ept. 19, 2019, marks the 59th Tulsa Greek Festival held annually at the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma. What started as a simple dinner fundraiser at a local hotel has blossomed into a community event people of all ages have come to enjoy. It is the oldest ethnic festival in Tulsa.

Thursday kicks off the festivities with “Lunch by the Greeks,” which are traditional Greek meals available for order to local businesses. If you can’t get enough Souvlaki (delicious grilled meat on a skewer), cater it in Friday as well. There’s no such thing as too much Greek!

Beginning Friday, a wide range of activities open the celebration under a festive tent, next to the church.

Traditional dancing, games, contests and shopping for everything from souvenirs to fine jewelry. Also, the food, for the love of Aphrodite, the food! If you believe in the old adage that you should always start with dessert, this is the perfect opportunity. Traditional baklava is served as well as loukoumades, which are the best honey-glazed

GREEK FEST BY THE NUMBERS: • 300+ volunteers • 60+ dancers • 14,000 pieces of baklava • 360 pounds of feta cheese 34 |

doughnut-like puffs you’ll ever consume. If your children are searching for the ice cream truck, no worries, they can try the baklava Sundaes. However, if you’re old school and need to have dinner first, you won’t be disappointed. You can choose from authentic Greek entrees or various appetizer plates

“What started as a simple fundraising effort, has grown into a community wide event where you can experience Greek food, fun, culture and religion!” including shish kabob, saganaki, calamari, lamb, gyros, cheese pies, feta cheese and Kalamata olives, Greek salad and spinach pies. Of course, no meal is complete without Greek beer and wine, finished with a Greek coffee.

New this year is saganaki, it’s basically cheese on fire. Also popular is the Greek french fry eating contest, Lord of the Fries.

There is literally something for everyone.

Tonya Boone, who is the vice-chair for this year’s festival explains, “What started as a simple fundraising effort, has grown into a community wide event where you can experience Greek food, fun, culture and religion!”

For only five dollars, children can visit the Kids Zone to play on an inflatable playground, try

their hands at arts and crafts and even take a tour of the fire station nearby. Once the dancing begins, you will see Greek culture unfold before your eyes. Each dance pays homage to different regions, complete with colorful and dynamic costumes and spectacular music. Even though Greece is 5,900 miles away from Tulsa, you won’t help but think you’re at a big fat Greek wedding on an island!

There is also an opportunity to tour the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church. The church, which was founded by Greek immigrants at the turn of the 20th century, was Tulsa’s first building in the Byzantine style.

The rounded corners of the church, along with the dome, is the traditional architecture of the Greek Orthodox. Once inside, clergy discusses the history of the religion as well as the building and answer any questions you may have. On your way out, light a candle in memory of a loved one.

The festival concludes Sunday, Sept. 22, 2019. After 6 p.m. Thurs., Fri and all day on weekends, tickets for adults are $5 and kids are always free. Tickets can be purchased at the door. For more information, visit their Facebook page or go to their website, www.tulsagreekfestival.com.

EVERYONE’S INVITED!

Re-Grand Opening Celebration

AT ROUTE 66 CHEVROLET/NISSAN

A

celebration of epic proportions is coming to Tulsa Sept. 14, with the re-grand opening of Route 66 Chevrolet and Route 66 Nissan!

This event is free to the public and will encompass both dealerships as part of their rebranding campaign, and part of their overall mission of giving back to the community.

Festivities take place from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., with free food, live music and entertainment, bounce houses and drawings throughout the day.

-----------------------“We are so excited because it’s been two years as of July 17 that we’ve been open, and we never really had a grand opening. We’re going to do it right.”

-----------------------Executive manager, Chuck Mulkey and controller, Trena McGill, are thrilled to re-introduce the Route 66 brand. “The most important part of this event is the 2018 Chevy Colorado pickup we are going to give away,” said Chuck. From now until the day of the event, first responders and teachers with ID can come into either dealership to register, and the drawing will be held at 2 p.m. at the celebration. Entrants must be present to win. Other giveaways will include OSU/TU game tickets and concert tickets for a big name show to be announced.

PERSONALIZE YOUR FITNESS ROUTINE

BY JOSH MORIN

O

ne of the most common questions people ask me is, “What is the best way to train?”

The problem with that question is that everyone’s body, nutrition and lifestyle is different, so there is no one-sizefits-all miracle workout or training program. The real answer is the way that best suits your specific goals and body type. For one person, the solution may be CrossFit, for another, it’s heavyweights and for someone else, it’s yoga and running. Just because it works for them does not necessarily mean that it will work for you. So how do you figure that out?

STEP 1: SET GOALS What are you specifically seeking to accomplish through your exercise regiment? Gain muscle? Build strength? Develop endurance? Burn

fat? Improve flexibility? Train for a sport or competition?

All of these goals are achieved through different types of training.

Deciding on clear intentions helps you to focus specifically on getting the results you are after. There are many approaches to exercise, and not just any single one is the “best.”

STEP 2: MAP OUT A PLAN If you are just starting out or have limited experience, finding a fitness mentor to answer your questions and assist you in your programming is a great way to start out. Just like with diet opinions, always consider the source of information and do your own research and fact-checking if you decide to build your own plan. Hiring a personal trainer who has in-depth professional experience in the type of program you decide on will be the most beneficial in the long run. If you find yourself in a place where been training for years but seem to stagnate in your progress, find a more experienced mentor who can offer insight and suggestions to assist you in adjusting your training methods.

The most dangerous approach is to dive head-first into a program, class or

activity that you’ve never tried. Going hard at a new sport or program without taking the time to ease into it and test how your body responds is the fastest way to find yourself injured, in pain, and eventually losing motivation and giving up. Most gyms offer a free day pass, so check out your options and make sure they provide the amenities you want at a price that fits your budget. Sports and training classes typically offer tryouts and free trials as well, so take advantage of those opportunities before spending money and committing.

Once you’ve done your research and learned how to take into account your body type and how you recover doing specific workouts, map out a scheduled plan that you can commit to following weekly. Schedule around various muscle groups, rest and intensity levels.

Training all-out every single day is not the most beneficial approach. Your body isn’t built to handle that kind of abuse. Rest and recovery are just as important when it comes to your progress, so giving your body time to heal and build makes a significant difference in your results and will optimize your strength and energy for higher output on training days.

Physical activity, nutrition and supplementation each play a role in the fitness process. If you’re eating too much, not enough, or even the wrong kinds of foods that will sabotage your training efforts. Different types of supplements work together with your

training and nutrition to help prepare your body for a workout, get faster or better results and aid in recovery.

STEP 3: TRIAL AND ERROR Now that you’ve set your goals, committed to a program, mapped out a routine and have been working out for a few months, it’s time to assess your results.

How are you recovering after each workout? Do you feel tired?

Fatigued? Lethargic? Unable to recover before your next class or workout? Or do you feel energized? Full of vitality?

Strength improving? Is your body’s appearance reflecting your efforts?

How do you ultimately feel?

Over the past 15 years, I have tried every type of training that I’ve come across, including CrossFit, low volume heavy lifting, high volume training, functional strength, yoga, pilates and many more, and have discovered that what works best for me is not what works best for my friends and colleagues. I understand my body, how I recover, and what is required through my workouts in order to achieve the results I am seeking in correlation to my specific goals. It will take time and consistency while exposing yourself to different types of training in order to figure out what one works best for you, and if you realize the one you’re doing isn’t working for you, explore your options until you find something that does what you want and fine-tune your nutrition and supplement intake accordingly.

Remember, the best kind of training is simply the one you commit to.

o Have An lent ent Morning

BY SHANNON SMITH

C

an you believe it’s time for school to start again? My kids are grown, and frankly I don’t miss the back-to-school stress. But I know lots of parents are busily collecting school supplies, uniforms, permission slips, and after-school snacks. I also don’t miss those mornings getting my kids out of bed and forcing breakfast while they finished last minute homework.

Honestly, they preferred Pop Tarts over my homemade breakfast, but at least I ate a hot breakfast while watching them run up and down the stairs searching for backpacks and matching socks.

I happen to love eggs in every way, shape, and form. One of the cooking classes I teach kids is how to make eggs scrambled, fried, poached, and in omelets. I also think that most dinner left-overs go great with eggs the next morning. I’ve been know to throw pulled pork, roasted potatoes, curried chicken, and even pasta into my scrambled eggs. A frittata is a great way to “clean out the fridge” by using those lost veggies, bbq sauce, and wilting greens. I have two egg recipes that I particularly love to make for guests (or kids) that can last for the entire week. The first is an egg casserole I’ve been making for 25 years, and it never fails. The secret ingredient is cottage cheese, but no one will ever know. It makes the dish so light and spongy, and great for re-heating in the

microwave for many mornings. It calls for roasted green chiles, but you can add bacon, sausage, peppers, or just more cheese. It’s also gluten free!

The other recipe is great for kids to carry with them in the car or bus, and they’re mess-free. They’re baked egg cups made in a muffin tin, and you can add just about anything your kids love. When I was in Rwanda I taught the chef at a school to make them for the kids, and he told me they were the favorite breakfast treat. They have lots of chickens on their property, so it was an inexpensive way to feed a lot of people. We put crumbled bread in the egg cups, but you can use hash browns or roasted veggies if you want to keep away from bread. The point is, you can get creative, and make your own special egg cups that your kids will brag about, and ask for the recipe when they go off to college (I know this from experience).

There are a lot of things that cause stress on those early school mornings, but don’t let breakfast be one of them.

Make these recipes over the weekend, and reheat them throughout the week to make life just a little bit easier.

Meanwhile, I’ll be quietly drinking my coffee while thinking about you awesome parents out there!

Egg Soufflé Muffins Makes 12

I took this recipe with me to Rwanda when I was teaching the chef at a school how to make easy dishes for the students and visitors who were coming on mission trips. The school has a lot of eggs from their chickens, and vegetables in their garden that made this a very economical dish to make. But, they were thrilled when they ate them for breakfast since they’re so portable and delicious. I make a pan of them at home, then reheat each morning in the microwave oven. If you don’t eat bread, you can certainly leave it out of the recipe.

• • • • • • • • • • •

3 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons canola oil 1 cup yellow onion, finely chopped 1/2 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped 7 eggs 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon whole milk 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 4 slices of bread, crust removed 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese 1 cup cooked meat (sausage, bacon, ground beef, ham)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread softened butter in a 12-cup muffin pan. Heat a skillet over medium high heat and add canola oil.

Sauté onions and bell peppers until soft. Set aside to cool. In a bowl, combine eggs and milk until blended. Add salt and pepper. Tear the bread into small pieces and distribute into the bottoms of muffin pan cups. Layer the cheese, meat and vegetables, then gently press mixture into each cup with the back of a spoon. Pour over the egg and milk mixture in each cup until almost filled (1/4” from the top). Bake 35 minutes until eggs are set. Insert a small knife into one of the cups, and if it comes out clean, the eggs are cooked. Let cook for 5 minutes, then serve warm.

Note: You can leave out the bread, if desired. Also, you can use paper cupcake liners to make it easier to carry the egg soufflés on the go.
