SERVICE IS KING

BY CHRIS BEACH

osh Shrum, Tulsa New Holland’s new Service Manager has spent most of his life working around lawn and garden and agricultural equipment and the people who use that equipment. Now, Tosh is using his years of experience to provide top-notch service to the growing number of customers coming to Tulsa New Holland for all their equipment, parts and service needs. “I grew up with the people who worked on the farms around here,” Tosh says. “My Step Mom was Service Manager at a Farm Equipment Dealership and she was very good at her job. I learned a lot just being around her and after high school, I went to work with her. For most of 10 years I learned about the importance of providing prompt service to farmers and ranchers whenever

their equipment broke down. Our customers make their living with the equipment we sell and they can’t afford down time. I provide my customers with my cell phone number so that they can contact me after hours whenever they need our help.” Tosh’s customer focus is what led Tulsa New Holland’s Travis McCrate to hire Tosh to manage the dealership’s Service Department. “The Service Manager plays a key role here at Tulsa New Holland,” Travis says. “Our customers really want a Service Manager they can depend on, someone they know will be available to help them whenever they need help. Tosh’s background and the fact that he worked for the same company for 10 years helped us reach our

decision to hire Tosh as Service Manager.” Tulsa New Holland has a history of providing the very best customer support available, the Company’s 18 President’s Awards are proof of that and that commitment to customer service is a perfect fit for Tosh. He loves the fact that Tulsa New Holland is committed to 24 hour availability on most repair parts and the fact that 24 hour emergency service is available on most of the Ag equipment sold by the dealership. “Tulsa New Holland has been Oklahoma’s premier New Holland Dealership since 1983.” says Travis. Travis has worked 14 years for Mike McCrate, his Father who has over 42 years retail experience in the industry, 30 of those years at Tulsa New Holland. “Travis said, Tulsa New Holland’s slogan is, “Your Partner for Life,” and that slogan is our guiding principle.

Tulsa New Holland’s new Service Manager, Tosh Shrum, has an enthusiasm for lawn and agricultural equipment and a way of connecting with customers.

PUTTING RCB ON THE MAP BY SEANA WARREN

t’s hard to believe that a successful bank with more than 50 locations in two states, and over $2.7 billion in assets came from such humble beginnings. After the stock market crash in 1929, the Great Depression rocked the nation. Unprecedented drought ravaged the state of Oklahoma and oil prices fell. People were struggling to find work. By the mid-1930’s, only one bank existed in Claremore, Oklahoma, the First National Bank. “It was a terrible time,” said Frank Robson, RCB Board Member and son of Rogers County Bank founder L.S.

FINANCIALLY FIT A CAR BUYER’S MISTAKE BY JOCELYN WOOD

uying a car is a major purchase. Budgets are tight. It’s tempting to accept financing based on the lowest monthly payment, but don’t. Here’s why. Lower monthly payments often mean longer loan terms and higher interest rates. You may be able to obtain 84-month term (7 year) financing and a budget-friendly monthly payment, but you’ll pay more over the life of the loan. You also risk becoming upside down on your loan, owing more money for your car than it is worth. “Don’t be payment-driven,” says Kelly Ailey, lender, RCB Bank. “Save up as much as you can and negotiate the sales price down, not the monthly payment.” To keep your car buying costs as low as possible, Ailey offers these tips.

KNOW YOUR CREDIT SCORE More importantly, know the details in your report. Your credit score will determine which loan you will qualify for and the interest rate you’ll pay. Start reducing your current debt now to improve your score and financing options. GET PRE-APPROVED Know the exact amount you can spend before you start looking (and stay under that number). Start with your financial institution and shop around. A banker can also access car evaluations to improve 26 |

your bargaining power with the dealership. FOCUS ON PRICE Know what the car is worth, not what the dealer tells you it is worth. Do your homework. Check NADA guides. Shop online. Compare dealers. View the car evaluation with your banker. Then go to the dealership and negotiate a fair purchase price for the car, not your loan payment. DECIDE NEEDS VERSUS WANTS Do you want the pricey 2017 model or are you willing to accept a less expensive model and save more money? New or used, save up as much money as possible before you shop. You’ll be able to borrow less money and pay a higher monthly payment with a lower loan term. Both will save you money. Avoid the payment-driven temptation and start saving up now for your next vehicle. In the meantime, explore your financing options and ask your banker what you can do to improve your credit score. One final piece of advice Ailey offers: “Don’t be afraid to walk off the lot.” “Don’t rush your decision and accept the first offer,” Ailey said. “It’s your money and your life. Be good to yourself.” RCB BANK (855) BANK-RCB | RCBBANK.COM

BY SEANA WARREN

f you live in the South, chances are you’re serious about your barbeque. The Kansas City Barbeque Society (KCBS) means business, too. In fact, they sanction barbeque competitions all over the United States, including Claremore’s Boots and BBQ Festival. Prizes total up to $7500 and points towards KCBS Championship status. The Claremore Reveille Rotary Club, Visit Claremore, RCB Bank, Walke Brothers Meats, Jack Kissee Ford, Tulsa Stockyards, Utility Cable Communications, BancFirst, Stillwater Milling, Johnny LeonardCentury 21, and Community Home Health are all sponsoring the sanctioned KCBS cook-off in the twelfth annual Boots

and BBQ Festival. The event will take place June 3 at the Claremore Expo Center from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. KCBS certified judges will be on hand to adjudicate the 40+ barbeque cooks looking for the winning recipes in appearance, taste and tenderness. People’s Choice taster kits will be available for purchase starting at 1:00 p.m., with tasting to start at 2:00 p.m. Adult taster kits are $10 and children 12 and under are $6. You can stroll along and test each cook’s recipes. After sampling, you can vote for People’s Choice in which the winner will receive a cash prize of $200.

Other than registration and the taster kits, the event is free and open to the public. Area vendors will be on hand, along with music and a kid’s area for hours of fun. But the real winners are the kids of Rogers County. All proceeds from the Boots and BBQ Festival go directly into every school in the county. “It’s our mission to help local schools enhance young student education”, said Tanya Andrews, director of Visit Claremore/Claremore Expo Center, and Reveille Rotary Club member. “We use every penny of the proceeds to offer four to five scholarships to area

seniors, each year. We purchase 10,000 pencils that are distributed to all schools in Rogers County. This year we received a matching grant from Rotary International and together gave $6,000 to the Rogers County Salvation Army for their Food 4 Kids Backpack program”. Additionally, Reveille Rotary gives every third grader in Rogers County a personalized dictionary. Cooks can register for the KCBS Competition or the Backyard BBQ Competition up to June 2 on check-in day. Registrations forms for cooks and vendors are available online or by telephone request.

FAMILY MATTERS BY ERICA LUDWIG

t’s no secret that life never stops moving. There’s no way to stop your kids, or your family from growing, all you can do is put in the work and hope for the best. Wade Reeves of Wade’s RV, knows this very well. After serving Northeast Oklahoma and the Tulsa area for over 30 years, the business owner and father of five is making room for even more growth thanks to a new sales lot located at 161st and highway 75 in Glenpool. “This second location has opened up more possibilities for us,” said Wade. “We are able to better serve our clients and get our jobs done quicker.” Customers can expect two different environments of sales and service at each of the Wade’s RV locations. Whether you’re an outdoorsman looking for some service on your camper, or parents getting ready for the family road trip of a lifetime, the team at Wade’s wants to provide you with a facility to

accommodate your needs. “It’s like the best of both worlds,” said Wade. “We listened to our customers on what they needed from us, and that has greatly impacted the growth of the stores. This new sales store has more parking availability and space for clients to view more products in a more relaxed environment.” Thanks to the expansion, Wade’s RV has been able to create more space for indoor storage at the new location with all enclosed, custom services. The business also does RV repair, consignment and parts. “It’s more than just storage, it’s a service,” said Wade. “You can bring your unit in and we can take care of the rest, or if you want us to just park it for you, we can do that. We like to think of it like a custom-made concierge for your RV.” The added space also allows for more inventory with selection. Wade’s RV offers a variety of pre-

In fact, three of his five children work with him. Daughter Amanda Bryant serves in accounting, while his youngest, Maggie Reeves, works as an office assistant after school, and Wade R. Reeves, or “Little Wade”, is under the mentorship of his father, doing everything from selling RVs to social media management. “My favorite thing about this job is helping people,” said Little Wade. “I love engaging people with our mission. One of our salesmen likes to think of

these RVs like a memory box for customers. I just love to see how the things we do as a company and a family bring smiles to customers.” This summer, Wade’s RV is partnering with Channel 2 on a family road trips segment, where Little Wade will be shooting on location at resorts such as Shangri La. Look for them in an RV with the Wade’s RV and Channel 2 logos every other weekend in June. You can also find Wade’s RV at the Great Outdoor Recreation Show May 20-21 at the Tulsa Expo Center.
