ASK THE MONEY MAVEN STRAIGHT-FORWARD, NO-NONSENSE TALK ABOUT YOUR MONEY
For Advertising Information, call
Yours, Mine, and Ours. BY MELANIE HASTYGRANT June has historically been the most popular wedding month of the year. Whether you’re just now getting hitched or you have been for a long time, to combine your finances or have separate accounts is a sticky ball of wax with which lots of couples struggle. In fact, it was one of the top causes of marital problems that I dealt with as a therapist many years ago. Now just for the record, my husband and I have been together for nearly 30 years. We got married while in college and were broke. We have always had shared/combined accounts. All income and all debt has been shared by both of us equally regardless of who was making more money throughout the years. This has worked well for us and I can’t imagine doing it any different. However, it does require a lot of work. As with many other areas of relationships, it requires good communication. It requires talking about shared financial goals, setting limits on expenses, and trusting each other. It means being accountable to each other, following through on commitments and being willing to share. It doesn’t come without a few bumps in the road and an argument here or there. When couples are willing to talk about the hard stuff and work through to successful conclusions, it strengthens the relationship. When they have difficulty fighting fair, being honest, and sharing, it can be
www.ValueNews.com
very hard. So it is…with the subject of money and all other aspects of a relationship. Now over the years, I have noticed an interesting trend. More and more young, first-time couples and older second marriage couples are choosing to have separate accounts. Sometimes, they tell me they have a joint account that they pay household bills out of and then individual accounts for their “play” money. The joint account is funded by each person with an agreed upon amount each month. This account is used to pay the mortgage, utilities, insurances, etc. that the couple share. However, the individual accounts are often used to pay for food, entertainment, gifts and miscellaneous purchases. There is always more than one way to “skin a cat” as my mom used to say. (That’s a funny saying isn’t it? Who the heck ever skins cats?) Anyway, couples that use this strat-
egy often report that they do it this way so that they don’t have to fight about money. They also tell me that they feel safer this way should something happen to their relationship. They don’t have to “ask” their partner about things they want to buy with their own money. Basically, what they are telling me is that they don’t want to take the risk of dealing with this difficult topic in their relationship. They are worried about not being able to communicate and effectively resolve conflict they might have in this area. It is an attempt to eliminate an area that might become problematic. I must say that I understand and respect the notion of trying to head off problems before they arise. However, I must submit that I’m not sure that avoiding something that is this intertwined in our daily lives is possible in an intimate relationship. My experience in working with couples has been that it just trades one set of emotions, and problems, and issues to deal with for another set. At the end of the day, it’s about learning (no matter how difficult) to communicate and share and trust in all areas of our relationships, including money.

Brush Up on Dental Health for Kids The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a dental checkup at least twice a year for most children. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry Kids and parents – it’s important to visit your dentist By Steve White, D.D.S According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, tooth decay is the most common chronic disease among children in the United States. A whopping 40 percent of children have decay by the time they reach kindergarten! As a parent, establishing good dental habits in your children today will ensure that they have fewer problems in the future – throughout every stage of development and well into adulthood. The sooner children begin getting regular dental checkups, the healthier their mouths will stay throughout their lives. Early checkups help prevent cavities and tooth decay, which can lead to pain, trouble concentrating and other medical issues. Kids with healthy teeth chew food easily, speak more clearly and smile with confidence.
recommends a dental checkup at least twice a year for most children. Some children need more frequent dental visits because of increased risk of tooth decay, unusual growth patterns or poor oral hygiene. Why are twice-a-year visits important? Regular dental visits help your child stay cavity-free and are important for preventive health care. Teeth cleanings remove the debris that builds up on the teeth, irritate the gums and cause decay. Fluoride treatments renew the fluoride content in the enamel, strengthening teeth and preventing cavities. At White Smile Cosmetic & Family Dentistry, we accept patients 3 and older. During the exam, we will discuss your child’s diet and oral hygiene habits, and I will demonstrate proper brushing and flossing techniques. After gently examining your child’s teeth, oral tissues and jaws, the teeth will be cleaned and polished. A dental exam for children might include application of various protective measures — such as sealants or fluoride treatments — to reduce the risk of decay. It might also include dental X-rays or other diagnostic procedures. Parents can encourage their children to enjoy good dental health with regular dental exams and these tips: • Beware of frequent snacking • Brush effectively twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste • Floss once a day • Have sealants applied when appropriate • Assure proper fluoride through drinking water, fluoride products or fluoride supplements
regularly your whole life. Dentists can detect small problems before they become bigger, more painful problems. Your child could have oral health problems you don’t know about like cavities or developmental issues with teeth not coming in or forming correctly. And getting your child's teeth cleaned regularly is a great opportunity for them to learn the best way to take care of their teeth.

GGet on the Road to a Car Green Country Autoplex is helping area residents find and purchase clean, dependable vehicles. By Duane Blankenship
Manager Joni Chesser asks that you consider Green Country Autoplex to help you find and purchase your next vehicle.
Joni Chesser is manager of Green Country Autoplex in Tulsa. The used automobile dealership began operation in 1997, and Joni has managed the sales lot for five years. She also heads the business’s vehicle finance company, Dealer Finance Group. Joni works hard as a volunteer through her church and in the metro Tulsa community. In her own words, “I like to help people get back on their feet.” After a pleasant visit with Joni and another business representative, it was pointed out that Ms. Chesser has genuinely and freely dedicated her life to helping others. This is not only a story about Green Country Autoplex, but also a story about a special lady. If you have no credit or poor credit, Joni will work to help you qualify for a vehicle loan. “No matter your credit problems, we will work with you to get you approved and help you over time to improve your credit rating,” says Joni. If you need a car and
already have great credit or are able to pay cash, Joni invites you to come in for a visit and look over the fine lineup of cars on the Green Country Autoplex lot. “We buy used vehicles from individuals at a fair price. We take tradeins and keep our lot full of really nice, low mileage cars, trucks and SUVs,” she says. All offerings are exceptionally clean and have titles. “We do not buy salvaged vehicles,” said Joni. “We want a chance to meet potential buyers and show them why they should consider Green Country Autoplex as an option when looking for their next vehicle.” Joni has been a volunteer with the Miss Oklahoma Pageant for 19 years, previously worked in the banking industry, and was assistant treasurer for Jenks Public Schools. She has been a volunteer for 13 years with the Baptist Children’s Home in Owasso, a full-service facility for children providing basic residential services, educational opportunities, and appropriate lifestyle experiences for boys
and girls between the ages of 5 and 17. Also actively involved in mission work through her church, Joni recently sponsored a second mission trip to Jamaica with a group of teenagers who worked with children from an orphanage in a poverty-stricken area. Two years ago, Joni was a charter member of a program called Women of Compassion. This organization helps with needs for the Baptist Children’s Homes and Hope Pregnancy Centers. When you’re looking for your next vehicle, give Joni and Green Country Autoplex the opportunity to show you what they have to offer. For more information, contact

CComfort You
Can Count On Aire Serv of Tulsa provides a family tradition of reliable, honest service.
By Christopher Davis This summer is going to be a doozy. Before the searing heat pushes your AC unit to the brink, it is worth having Aire Serv Heating & Air Conditioning pay a visit to conduct some preventative maintenance to ensure your comfort throughout the season. Aire Serv is based in Bixby, and serves the entire Tulsa metro area. Owned by Randy Raper, who has lived in the Tulsa area his entire life, the company is truly a family business. His wife, Debi, runs the office, scheduling service visits and handling nonstop phone calls. Their son, Jordan, is also a certified technician and possesses skills and experience much deeper than his age implies. When asked about the family business, Jordan says he grew up watching his grandfather and father repair heating and cooling units. “I used to ride along with my dad,” he says. Once he was old enough to lend a hand, he did. Throughout high school, he was learning the trade – whenever he wasn’t studying or playing sports. “If I wasn’t at any outside school activity, I was helping my
dad,” he recalls. While other twenty-somethings are still trying to figure out what they want to be when they grow up, Jordan is already well established in a career. Such reliability and work ethic is representative of the Raper family and their business. Knowing a reputable company to fix air conditioning
is vital as the season heats up. Summer is hardly in full swing, and already Oklahomans have been tested with spikes in temperature. After a rainy, recordsetting May, June swept through and pummeled the region with more humidity and heat. “The previous two summers were relatively mild,” says Debi Raper, adding that she expects this summer to be one of the hotter ones. “It’s going to be humid, on top of the heat,” she says, which only exacerbates reliance on air conditioning. She explains when the weather heats up quickly, they receive a lot of emergency calls for failing cooling units. And, while the family welcomes the business, people
tulsa
could avoid the misery that comes with a broken air conditioner. “A lot of problems come from not maintaining units,” she says. If units aren’t properly cleaned and tested at least twice per year, small problems turn into big problems. Often, preventable breakdowns occur because no one was checking the unit in the first place. Debi and Randy urge customers to sign on for the Aire Serv Advantage Plan. The Advantage Plan protects customers with cooling and heating service checks twice per year, ensuring HVAC systems are prepared for the extreme temperatures of summer and winter. Each service visit features a 26-point inspection and tune up, including filter replacement
Page 7
and unit wash. In addition to the preventative care invested in the cooling system, Aire Serv offers Advantage Plan customers a 15% discount on repairs. So, even if something does fail, owners will have something cool to look forward to. All Aire Serv work is backed by a 100% guarantee, adding to the peace of mind offered to customers. Plus, Aire Serv is available for repairs 24 hours per day, seven days per week – with no overtime charges. Sometimes, though, units aren’t worth the effort and cost of repairs. For those wanting the increased efficiency of a new system, Aire Serv can assist with financing. Further, when a new high efficiency unit is purchased, owners are eligible for a rebate with PSO. With service plans to cover customers year round, deals on emergency service and 24/7 service, Aire Serv is the business to call on to keep you cool this summer. Don’t wait until your unit goes out – set up a service call today.

Advances in Technology Bring Increased Security and Convenience Independent security and communications technology business puts customers in control.
By Christopher Davis Summer is here – the season for vacations and lake adventures. But while you’re out playing, is your home safe? Did you remember to adjust the thermostat? DLSS Systems and Tel-Star Technologies offer security and network systems that allow home and business owners to keep tabs on their property from a smartphone. DLSS Systems and TelStar Technologies are partner businesses that operate as two squads of the same team. Mike Eubanks and Kevin Dyson, co-owners, are longtime friends who established themselves
with larger companies long ago. As technology evolved and the industry became increasingly consolidated, they discovered a growing number of customers falling through the cracks when it came to customer service and specific needs. Since the late ’90s, DLSS and Tel-Star Technologies have provided stellar communications, lighting and surveillance systems to a diverse roster, spanning casinos, small businesses and private residences. Kevin Dyson, head of DLSS, has seen surveillance technology go from clunky cameras and stacks of VHS tapes to inconspicuous digital cameras and cloud-based
archives. “The technology has come a long way,” says Dyson, noting that customers can save thousands of dollars on superior equipment compared to industry standards of the previous era. Today, security and surveillance equipment is faster, less costly and more reliable, considering improvements in connectivity and archival storage and retrieval. Powered by Alarm. com, an industry leader in surveillance technology, DLSS was ahead of the curve, featuring such systems long before they became widespread. Today, DLSS systems include 24/7 response, fire alarms, Wi-Fi cameras, cloud video storage

and mobile monitoring apps for smartphone and tablet. Dyson explains, “You can watch camera feeds in real time from your smartphone, tablet or PC. And the footage is automatically stored in the cloud for ninety days.” The convenience of checking in on one’s property while fishing or enjoying a campfire is enhanced by the security of cloud-based storage. Gone are worries of lost or stolen security footage, and access is limited to only those with explicit permission. Further, security systems don’t even rely on phone lines anymore. Systems are completely self-contained and communicate directly with the control center, adding another layer of security and convenience. Such perks are ideal for rural properties and vacation homes. In fact, last fall, DLSS and Tel-Star Technologies opened a new office in Grove with rural markets in mind. “We’re the only security system company with an office in the region,” notes Dyson. The office is staffed every day, continuing a tradition of serving customers often overlooked by larger companies. The expanded service area improves accessibility for home and business owners who would otherwise find it difficult to obtain swift installation of security systems
from certified experts. And service does not end with security. For all communications and connectivity needs, including high speed Internet service and “smart home” connectivity, Tel-Star Technologies is the perfect match. Utilizing smartphone or tablet apps, lighting, heating and cooling – even irrigation control – is right in the palm of your hand. Technology improvements translate to energy – and money – savings. The added convenience is a welcome bonus. Those who invest in DLSS and Tel-Star Technologies services gain peace of mind, too. Even from across the country, checking in on the safety of property or turning off the sprinklers as a storm rolls in is only a few screen taps away. To embrace the latest technology in home and business connectivity, contact DLSS and Tel-Star Technologies. For more information, contact

A
Alternative to Back Surgery
By Deanna Rebro Sometimes not feeling anything can be worse than pain. Clint Mitchell can tell you. The 20-year American Airlines mechanic knows all about pain. He has totaled several vehicles and dropped as many motorcycles. Pain? Sure. But he just took the licking and kept on ticking. A few pain pills now and then made life easier. Lower back pain had been a constant part of his life for a long time. But then he noticed something different. While carrying heavy parts up the long ramps to aircraft, his legs would suddenly become numb. That would be frightening to anyone 15 feet above a cement floor. And 10-hour work shifts didn’t help the matter. Clint knew he had to do something or he would be in serious trouble. He decided to schedule an appointment with his general practitioner. A CT scan confirmed the doctor’s suspicion; Clint had a herniated disc. A lateral tear was causing the disc to bulge out and apply pressure to nerves in his spine. Although the situation was not debilitating, it was serious. And likely to worsen, his doctor
warned. He may even require surgery at some point. That was Clint’s wake-up call. He would have no surgery! Too many people had told him about their back surgeries, and how they wish they had never gone through with them. Once
under the knife, their bodies were never the same. And the difference was anything but positive. Some said they underwent additional surgeries to relieve the pain. But they didn’t work. If they had only known about spinal decompression, they would have given it a try before resorting to surgery. Fair enough, he thought. Somewhere among the hundreds of conversations he had with back pain sufferers, the name Spinal Decompression of Oklahoma was mentioned. He gave them a call and set up an initial consultation with Dr. Dwight Korgan. “I was amazed,” said Clint.
www.ValueNews.com “From the first moment I walked in, everyone treated me like I was a person they cared about. Not just another number on their books, but somebody who had a problem and they were there to help.” Clint recalls they were very busy that day. Yet Dr. Korgan answered all his questions – and there were lots of them – without any rushing. “I had never been treated this way before in a doctor’s office,” he said. “It just blew me away.” Soon Clint was in for his first decompression treatment. Hot packs warmed the muscles and got them ready to stretch.
The main component of IDD therapy utilizes a patented orthopedic decompression system called the Spina Machine, which promotes self-healing through gentle, effective decompression of the spine. Spinal Decompression of Oklahoma is the only physician directed AccuSpina treatment in our area. “It didn’t hurt,” he says. “I could feel a little bit of a pull, but I just put on headsets and listened to music. There was nothing bad about it.” After about a month, Clint felt as good as new. That was more than a year ago, and Clint says all his discomfort is nearly gone. After the treatment series, he began doing the recommended exercises exactly as prescribed. He continues doing them to this day. Every few months someone from the Spinal Decompression staff calls to check on his progress. “I can’t stress enough,” says Clint. “If anyone has back problems or disc problems, give Spinal Decompression of Oklahoma a try before surgery.” Spinal Decompression of Oklahoma is located at 1408 N. Florence in Claremore. To ask questions or schedule a free evaluation, call (918) 341-1250.

R Reverse Mortgage an Option for Seniors By Joshua Danker-Dake If you are a homeowner 62 years of age or older, a reverse mortgage could be a great way for you to improve your cash flow and achieve greater financial stability as well as a more comfortable retirement. Bill Simms is a reverse mortgage specialist. “One of the goals people have is to be able to maintain a comfortable lifestyle,” he says. “And one of the biggest fears seniors have is that they will outlive their money. A reverse mortgage can be a tremendous help for them.” A reverse mortgage is available to anyone 62 years or older who is a homeowner and has equity in his or her home. “This is a HUD program,” says Simms, “and it’s FHA insured. This creates a safety factor for seniors.” A reverse mortgage can potentially solve a number of cash flow problems. “For seniors who need money or income, a reverse mortgage can be a good solution,” says Simms. “You can take the money as a lump sum or in monthly installments, establish a line of credit, or any combination of the three. The money received is nontaxable – it comes from the
principle of your home. When you get a reverse mortgage, there are no restrictions on how you use the money. And some tremendously good news is that recently, HUD is allowing the use of reverse mortgage funds to buy a home.” When homeowners take out reverse mortgages, they borrow a portion of the equity from their homes. “One tremendous advantage of this is that you don’t have to make any payments to the lender. However, the homeowners are still responsible for the payment of property taxes and homeowners' insurance," says Simms. There’s a misconception that when you take out a reverse mortgage, you lose the title of your house, but that’s not true at all. The house always stays in the homeowner’s name.” Simms is a certified senior advisor and has almost two decades of experience in this and related fields. “I’ve been helping seniors with their financial needs for 18 years,” says Simms. “I have experience with insurance and protection programs, and I’ve worked to resolve the needs of seniors. In the last few years, I’ve
gage is a great way to keep mom and dad living in the home, and they don’t have to make monthly payments.” Even if you have a loan on your house, you may still qualify for reverse mortgage. And you can use the money from a reverse mortgage to pay off a loan or lien. “This is a good way to improve your cash flow by eliminating those monthly payments,” says Simms. “A reverse mortgage can be a useful tool for people who don’t want to take Social Security too early. It can also be an attractive option and a big help for people with dwindling 401(k)s.” If you think a reverse mortgage might be right for you or your parents, or if you want more information about reverse mortgages, call Bill Simms at (918) 852-5784.

TTime to Celebrate The Clock Store celebrates one year in business this month. From quartz to cuckoo, these clockmakers restore memories and keep traditions alive.
By Christopher Davis When Jonathan Schultz mentions he owns The Clock Store, he says the response is usually, “Hey – I got a clock.” The discussion then turns to the story behind the clock, which is just fine with Schultz. The story associated with each clock he meets is part of his passion for repairing them. “I love hearing about where a clock came from, learning who made it,” says Schultz, who has loved clocks ever since he was a young boy. In August, The Clock Store will celebrate its first anniversary of business. Located in Broken Arrow’s Rose District at Yesterday’s Antique Mall, the shop is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. seven days a week. The Clock Store also has a second location in Bixby at Birdseye Treasure (at 151st and Memorial). Both locations sell restored clocks and provide full services for a wide range of clocks. “We don’t just repair clocks,” explains Schultz, “We restore memories.” And when one
steps back to think about the significance attached to a clock, it’s true. Most clocks are passed on from generation to generation, watching over family traditions and marking the minutes as little ones grow up. When an antique clock is adopted by a new family, part of the allure is the history it represents. While clocks are utilitarian in nature, there is something special about a wellmade clock. The design of the wood, the craftsmanship and the gears inside – clocks are works of art as much as timekeepers. Before televisions, and now computers, took over our living rooms, clocks served as a focal point in homes. Schultz says that between 1840 and 1950, millions of clocks were produced. Without dwelling too much on how ‘they just don’t make them like they used to,’ it is worth pointing out how clocks worthy of our love and attention are becoming rare. This is another reason Schultz is so passionate about clocks. He

points out, “Although it keeps time, no one wants to inherit their grandfather’s cell phone.” Though Schultz, an admitted “people person,” is the face of The Clock Store, he works with three other clockmakers. Each has their own specialty. Schultz has a knack for quartz clocks, and has even retrofitted winding clocks with quartz assemblies for owners who have difficulty moving the components. He adds that the winding assembly can be held onto and later reinstalled when the time comes to pass it on. One of his partners specializes in anniversary clocks (which require winding about once per year). Another’s focus is grandfather (also known as tall case) clocks. And another clockmaker loves restoring and repairing cuckoo clocks. A lot goes into proper repair of clocks. It starts with an assessment of the nature of repair and quoting a cost estimate for the owner. Once Schultz has the approval to move forward, they execute the repairs, which may require ordering special parts or fabricating a replacement. Once the repair is complete, the clock moves into the regulation phase. This entails observation and making sure the clock actually keeps proper time, and might require more adjustments. After it has been verified the clock works properly, it is ready for pick up or delivery. While most clock repair shops might take anywhere from three to six months for service completion, The Clock Shop generally has a six to eight

TThe Price of Depression… The clock is ticking. Don’t lessen your odds of recovery.
By Duane Blankenship Dr. Jeff McIlroy has served Strength of Mind as Chief of Psychiatry since its founding in 2004. The group’s purpose is to provide a ready response to those in need of outpatient behavioral health care and their goal is to make psychiatry innovative, effective and accessible. “By using diverse, personalized and comprehensive treatment
methods,” says Dr. McIlroy, “Strength of Mind meets a variety of patients’ needs at any age.” Strength of Mind was the first in Tulsa to provide TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation). TMS therapy is an FDA approved, non-invasive medical treatment for major depression. The treatment gives direct MRI strength magnetic
memories are stored, actually shrink.” says Dr. McIlroy. “The likelihood of recovery continues to decrease the longer a depressed individual waits to see a specialist.” In other words, the longer you remain depressed, the harder it is to come out of it. The good news is that there is help through TMS. Dr. McIlroy explained that Strength of Mind has much to offer through a three-pronged approach to treating depression with TMS. “(1) We wake up the brain with direct stimulation in areas that pills have not been able to touch. (2) We use therapeutic fitness to engage the body while the brain is in a state of readiness. (3) We change patient behavior. This is what makes our treatment so unique; we treat the whole person.”
pulse stimulation to the frontal lobe of the brain compelling neurons to start firing which leads to restoring the brain to normal functioning levels while elevating moods and encouraging ambition. Insurance companies that currently cover TMS treatment at Strength of Mind include Blue Cross Blue Shield, Federal, Anthem, BCBS-OK, Medicare, United Behavioral Health, Community Care Oklahoma and Value Options. “The price of depression is staggering,” says Dr. McIlroy. “It affects your family, friends, employer, employees and, of course, you. Depression leads to decreased mood, initiative and drive. It brings about indecisiveness about life while healthy development, jobs, hobbies and relationships come to a halt. The result is dissatisfaction with life in general, decreased physical activity, leading to poor internal health and stamina. Thus fat content goes up, efficiency of heart beats go down. The risk of strokes and diabetes rises.” With depression, the clock is ticking. “Research shows that parts of the brain, such as where
Research has shown Dr. McIlroy’s group that while physical activity is a powerful tool in treating depression, exercise is the last thing a depressed person wants to do. “This typically leads to listlessness, inactivity and remaining out of shape,” said Dr. McIlroy. “Strength of Mind’s solution is one-on-one therapeutic fitness to get the body moving, the result of which is a boost to the recovery process. And there have been no medical side effects with our TMS treatment,” added Dr. McIlroy. The Strength of Mind team forms a partnership with each patient in the journey to regaining quality of life. Their goal is to restore health and help each patient rediscover a life free from depression.

Five Things Parents Should Do to Shape Money-Smart Kids
Financially Fit is a column published by RCB Bank to help you gain knowledge on all things financial. Fitness guides – RCB Bank professionals in the field – offer ideas to help you strengthen your money sense, customize savings training, and provide quick and easy action plans to start whipping your money into shape. By Steve Elliott, RCB Bank VP Loan Officer, and father of two The goal most parents have for their kids is that they will grow up and become educated, welladjusted contributing members of society. Let’s face it, we’ll settle for out of the house and paying their bills. So, how can we help our kids learn money smarts? The single biggest equation in life is how to make money. Good careers require good educations, be it a college degree or technical training. Good educations open doors to good money, and that is when making the right decisions with your money (and teaching your kids to do the same) solves the equation. Here are my top five things every parent should do, right now, to prepare their kids to manage their money. Number five: Talk about money.

AA Rock Show for the Ages
Tulsa Rock and Mineral Society holds annual Gem and Mineral Show at Tulsa County Fairgrounds Central Park Hall, July 11-12. By Christopher Davis Join the Tulsa Rock and Mineral Society for their annual Gem and Mineral Show at the Tulsa County Fairgrounds on July 11 and 12. The show serves as the organization’s largest fundraiser, supporting educational and enrichment programs for the community. The weekend-long exhibit provides an opportunity to experience the beauty and history of our planet. It also brings together vendors from across the region, offering choice specimens of gems and precious stones, jewelry, and related crafts and artifacts. “The show is a great way for rock hounds and newcomers to meet and share their passion for gems and minerals,” explains Julia Allande, show chair for 2015. She and her husband, Paulino Allande, are avid collectors of geodes, crystals and rare gems. When asked how they first developed a love of rock hounding, Julia describes helping family sort through heirlooms in storage. She recalls, “There was a rock collection amongst the things
headed to storage. We found ourselves setting aside some of our favorites. Next thing we knew, we had a nice little collection started.” But, as they started going on hiking trips and searching for their own finds, it wasn’t long before their collection outgrew their shelves. “We came across a store that had a going out of business sale,” she laughs. “They were selling some display cases, and we got a great deal on them.” Now, the Allandes have their own personal showcase for their finds. With the Tulsa Rock and Mineral Society, they help plan field trips and facilitate workshops for kids, which combine education with fun. Each month, the Rock and Mineral Society meets at College Hill Presbyterian Church, located near the University of Tulsa at 712 S. Columbia Ave. Meetings begin 6:15 p.m. on the second Monday of every month. Visitors and children are welcome. Prior to the general meeting, a social hour is held, along with “Pebble Pups,” which is an opportunity for kids to have some fun with rocks. “Kids love collecting crystals
tulsa
and gems, and enjoy learning about how they were formed,” says Julia. Rock hounding can be a rewarding hobby. Participating in field trips is a great way for parents and children to get outside and enjoy nature together. At the same time, returning home with a few specimens is a bonus reward, providing a vehicle to create memories and share stories. Every piece is different and has its own story. Whether the rock was found along a trail or digging into the side of a mountain, it always feels special when one makes a discovery. Even when the rock is purchased, or passed on from person to person, there’s always an element of thrill when you lay eyes on the piece for the first time. In the Rock and Mineral Society’s case at College Hill Church, some representative samples and rarities are on display. Several types of quartz are shown, including “Smokey” and “Skeletal” varieties. Though each type is similar in basic molecular composition, the differences in temperature and pressure at the time of formation affect their color and grain pattern. One of the highlights of the display, a semi-precious stone known as lapis lazuli, has its origins in Afghanistan. Long ago, blue was a very rare color, and lapis was coveted for its deep azure hue. It is referenced in ancient literature, such as the Epic of Gilgamesh, and is often associated with royalty. It is worth attending a second Monday meeting just for the chance to view the specimen in person.

Paulino and Julia Allande, Show Chairs for the 2015 Gem and Mineral Show. At the show, plenty of activities will educate and entertain young and old. A free kids’ zone will feature hands-on opportunities to dig for gems, as well as demonstrations and other fun stuff. There will also be a booth where attendees can cut and polish their own gems. Admission to the Gem and Mineral Show is $6 for adults. Two day passes are $10. Children 12 years and younger (accompanied by a paying adult) are free. Scouts and military members in uniform receive free admission. The show takes place at Central Park Hall at the Tulsa
County Fairgrounds. Show hours are Saturday, July 11 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, July 12 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Summer Essentials for Your Trees and Plants es and homeowners. Primary owners include Dale Hughes, operation supervisor; Leilani Hughes, office manager; Bryan Merseburgh, sales and plant health care supervisor; and Robby Mizumura, tree crews and plant health care supervisor. “We are your tree and plant experts,” Bryan Merseburgh confidently proclaims. He doesn’t just say it because he’s expected to, but because he believes it and is confident that S&W Tree Specialists has the finest employees and provides the highest quality services in their field of expertise. “All company employees are subjected to random
drug screening,” Leilani adds, “and our employees have nearly 65 years of collective experience in the tree and lawn care industry.” A certified and trained arborist and tree care safety professional is always available to answer questions you might have about your trees, plants or yard. Estimates are always free with no obligation. “Now is a great time to get trees checked to make sure they’re in good health for another Oklahoma summer,” said Dale. “And after all the recent rains we’ve experienced,” added Bryan, “your soil is going to dry out and crack faster than normal.
You’ll need to keep the soil moist to about an inch below the ground’s surface to be safe.” When you contact S&W for information or to employ their services, be sure to ask about their Tree Shield program. “Customers are our top priority,” said Leilani. With Oklahoma’s unpredictable weather patterns, S&W offers Tree Shield for a fixed monthly rate. The package is great for large properties like apartment complexes, industrial and commercial lots and homeowners who own large properties. The Tree Shield program enables participants to “lock in” to ensure that they receive a bar-

gain rate plus priority service when storms hit. They will be on S&W’s Priority List that ensures expedited service after a storm or emergency. Call the office for complete details or ask about Tree Shield when you meet with a company representative to receive your free estimate for provided services. “S&W Tree Specialists is fully insured and fully covered, including workers compensation. And customers are covered as well,” said Leilani. “All employees are screened prior to hiring and all are direct employees of S&W. We don’t contract our labor.” Don’t be held liable for
an accident that could occur on the job at your home or business. Check out S&W Tree Specialists with the Better Business Bureau and then give them a call for your tree, turf and lawn issues.

Husband-and-Wife Team Become AAMCO’s Largest Franchisees to Date continued from page 1 their family for Thomas’s previous jobs, the Scotts were seeking a sustainable business opportunity so they could settle down and focus on family. In November of 2013, after thorough research, the entrepreneurs purchased an existing AAMCO service center in Tulsa, followed by the acquisition of a second location in the market less than six months later. The Scotts quickly transformed the two units into valued businesses and top performers in the region. Last year, they were presented with the opportunity to purchase seven additional units in Oklahoma City, which they eagerly accepted – earning them the title of largest franchisees in the system. “The past two years have been an exciting whirlwind for Ronda and me,” said Thomas Scott, AAMCO franchisee. “We’re thrilled to have such an incredible platform that allows us the opportunity to impact the lives of people in the community. The ongoing support we receive from AAMCO’s executive team is unparalleled, and we’re constantly motivated by their passion and commitment to their franchisees. We look forward to continuing to serve new and existing customers in Tulsa and Oklahoma City for many years to come.” Prior to joining AAMCO, Thomas spent more than three decades in plastic manufacturing, working in the injection molding field, while Ronda worked for 15 years as a dental hygienist. Today, the Scotts are closely involved in the day-to-day operations of their nine units. “Thomas and Ronda have proven to be tremendous franchise owners to
AAMCO and continue to impress us with their commitment to providing superior customer service each and every day,” said Brian O’Donnell, senior vice president of sales for AAMCO. “As the largest franchisees in our system, the Scotts are exemplary leaders, and we look forward to their continued success.” For over 50 years, AAMCO’s locally owned and independent service centers employ the latest technology and its expert technicians diagnose a repair, fix it right the first time and back it with a nationwide warranty. Known as the world’s leading transmission expert, AAMCO has evolved into a total car care brand providing a variety of services, including tire and brake repairs, tune-ups, shocks and struts, routine maintenance and more, and was recently named to Entrepreneur’s 2015 Franchise 500®. Ranking at the top of the transmission repair category based on system size, growth rate and financial strength also earned the brand a spot on Entrepreneur’s “Best of the Best” list.

CConnecting Military to Museums The Broken Arrow Historical Society Museum is proud to announce it is once again a Blue Star Museum.
By Lori Lewis Blue Star Museums is a collaboration among the National Endowment for the Arts, Blue Star Families, the Department of Defense, and more than 2,000 museums across America. The program runs from Memorial Day, May 25, 2015 through Labor Day, September 7, 2015. The free admission program is available to any bearer of a Geneva Convention common access card (CAC), a DD Form 1173 ID card (dependent ID), or a DD Form 1173-1 ID card, which includes active duty U.S. military - Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, as well as members of the National Guard and Reserve, U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, NOAA Commissioned Corps - and up to five family members. “Parents of young children tell us that they go together to museums to learn new things and have family time together,” said NEA Chairman Jane Chu. “Blue Star Museums helps them do both, by helping military families learn about the cultural resources in their communities, and offering a fun, high-quality experience that’s budget friendly as well as family friendly. We’re proud to help connect museums to military communities nationwide.”
“Blue Star Museums has grown into a nationally recognized program that service members and their families look forward to each year,” said Blue Star Families Chief Executive Officer Kathy Roth-Douquet. “It helps bring our local military and civilian communities together, and offers families fun and enriching activities in their home towns. We
are thrilled with the continued growth of the program and the unparalleled opportunities it offers.” This year, more than 2,000 (and counting) museums in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and American Samoa are taking part in the initiative. “We are grateful for the members of our military and their
families that support them. Being a Blue Star Member is just one small way that we can show our appreciation for everything that they do,” Lori Lewis, Executive Director of the Broken Arrow History Museum. Any and all qualifying families are invited to stop in to see the Broken Arrow History Museum located at 400 South Main in downtown Broken
Arrow, in the heart of the Rose District. The hours of operation are Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Broken Arrow History Museum houses a permanent collection of artifacts and displays that tell the tale of the history of Broken Arrow, from the arrival of the Creek Indians at the end of the Trail of Tears to some of the more modern developments in our town including some of our prominent early citizens. The museum houses exhibits of the Childers log cabin, the train depot, “Broken Aro” coal and our two banks that were established prior to statehood. The first floor exhibit hall houses temporary exhibits that are changed throughout the year. In mid-July, an exhibit from the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame will open. For more information, contact
