It’s not unusual for a child to be in chronic pain because a simple cavity was not caught and treated in time.” Dr. White says much of (continued on page 28)

BY MELANIE HASTY-GRANT

Most of the time folks think about generosity as giving away things or money. Generosity actually means lots of things. The kind of generosity I am talking about here can take the form of encouragement, forgiveness, being deeply present for a friend during a difficult time, giving away the credit for an idea or success, giving a powerful voice to someone who feels powerless, recognizing the strength and character of another, the gift of your time, and yes, sometimes giving money or resources anonymously, with no need for recognition. I have worked on oodles of boards for charitable organizations over the years. We raised lots of money and that’s great. However, I have learned that true generosity is a different animal altogether. It comes from an inner fire to make a difference in the world, to step up to the plate when there is a pressing need and commit to doing what we can to help. True generosity changes the life of not only the receiver but also the giver. This generosity can change our world. A few years ago, Ken (my husband)

and I created a program called Character Coin. The idea was to watch for folks doing something kind or positive and give them a Character Coin. The giver was to catch someone doing something good, give them the coin, tell them why, and ask them to pass it on! It’s a pay it forward type of idea. We minted 30,000 of these coins and gave them out to teachers, kids, city leaders, and service men and women. What happened next truly changed our lives and how we saw people and our community. We heard stories about coins being passed from hundreds of folks both young and old. We heard the impact that it made on their lives. We were blessed to witness what happens when one person simply recognizes the strength and character of another. It was especially incredible to watch how

www.ValueNews.com

contagious this generosity “of recognizing another and giving a compliment” was. Just last week, we had someone call the office requesting another coin to give out to someone. The story they told us warmed our hearts all over again. So much so that we have committed to mint 10,000 more coins. If you need some, stop by the office. They are here for the taking. The story I tell you here is not about the coins. It’s not about us. It’s about trying to inspire you to create this amazing experience of generosity in your own heart. Commit to looking for opportunities with friends, neighbors, and strangers where you can be a blessing and be generous. You do not have to be rich to give generously. The miracle is this…the more you share, the more you have. For more information go to www.waterstonewealth.com or call 918-272-1120.

MManpering Guys, get some much-needed manscaping done at Tulsa’s Reveal Salon. By Stephanie Reed

Master Barber DeAllen Brown gives a client top-shelf treatment with a straight razor shave. Call DeAllen at (918) 734-1380 for an appointment.

Calling all gentleman (and after a long, cold winter, perhaps a few ruffians as well), it is time to clean up the winter scruff and prepare for a clean-shaven spring debut. With “No Shave November” and the bitter temperatures, it is no wonder the winter months leave the men of Green Country in need of a little TLC. Tulsa’s Reveal Salon & Aesthetics is just the place to get it. DeAllen Brown, Reveal Salon’s master barber, has been committed to improving men’s image for 14 years. A male-only stylist, DeAllen specializes in sprucing up clients and arming them with a fresh confidence that comes from a great look. Originally hailing from Chicago, DeAllen came to Tulsa to attend Rhema Bible College. After his initial visit, he boarded a flight home and knew intuitively that his calling was not to preach, but to improve lives through a different means. DeAllen’s goal for all his clients is to improve their self-confidence.

“Men seem to forget how much better they feel when they are well cared for. Men deserve a little pampering too,” DeAllen says. Haircuts, clean-ups for those in between haircuts, along with straight razor shaves, gray coverage, and hot towel treatments are all services DeAllen offers in an effort to improve each client’s visage. Specializing in all hair types, he has learned through experience that sometimes men need a friendly suggestion and a little help with self-improvement. “Sometimes clients don’t realize that there is room for enhancement. Men often don’t pay attention to the gray invading, or when eyebrows need trimming,” DeAllen explains. His friendly demeanor and dependable service have helped DeAllen establish a solid customer base in Tulsa. “I have the best customers ever,” DeAllen remarks. “It is because of my clients that I haven’t had to raise rates in years. I offer affordable

services while being able to make a living, and they look good. We all win.” After stepping out of DeAllen’s chair, men also have a variety of other options at the salon. Pedicures and manicures are available to clean up rough, chapped winter paws, while acne treatments and chemical peels can help shape up skin that has been hiding under winter beards and coats. DeAllen’s stylistic prowess will certainly produce a spring-worthy look that the ladies will love. To schedule service, call DeAllen Brown directly at (918) 734-1380 or contact Reveal Salon.

Dr. Craig Day

“After having an MRI, I was diagnosed with having a herniated disc. The pain was like a knife jabbing in my buttock and down my legs. My whole life changed, not being able to escape the disabling pain. After cortisone epidurals in my spine, the pain returned. My doctor told me that I was facing surgery on my back and to prepare to spend thousands of dollars and be off work for several months. Then I found Dr. Day and heard about the success he was having treating disc problems by using a new procedure called Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression. Dr. Day was one of the first doctors in the area to use this new treatment and has had over 30 years experience treating bad backs.

EEggstraordinary Easter Gifts Shop The Nut House on historic Route 66 for unique candy and gifts.

By Carol Beck-Round

Easter is around the corner and if you want to add delicious goodies and unique items to your baskets or purchase a gift for someone special, The Nut House on historic Route 66 is the place to go. The vast array of products available at one of Claremore’s most famous destinations won’t be found in your local grocery store or any big-box store. Many are one-of-a-kind, made-in-house products that will have you returning time and again to check out the new offerings – and you’ll never leave empty handed, even if it’s just for a piece of the decadent, twoinch thick, quarter-pound squares of fudge. Some customers just brake for the fudge and “many look like they’re having fudge withdrawals when they walk through the doors,” laughs Hazel Ward, owner of The Nut House. With over 18 different flavors of fudge available six days a week, it’s no wonder The Nut House has earned a reputation for the best homemade fudge in the area. “We will be offering some special fudge for Easter

along with chocolate-covered marshmallows,” says Hazel. “We make our own marshmallows which are heads above what you buy at the grocery store. Our confections are fresh with a really nice texture – they’re soft, not stretchy – and they are larger than what you find in a grocery store.” The marshmallow treats will also be decorated for Easter. “They’re great to put in a child’s Easter basket or as a gift to a friend,” she adds. Other wonderful Easter ideas include chocolatecovered strawberries and Peeps dipped in chocolate and decorated for Easter. “After dipping them in chocolate, we dress them up like they’re going to church,” says Hazel. “They’re really cute.” The Nut House also has an assortment of other Easter candy, stuffed animals, jewelry, candles, car charms and items of a spiritual nature that make great gifts or that can be added to a special basket for gift-giving. At The Nut House, one of the popular gifts available is personalized Easter baskets.

Baskets, which run from $30 and up, are created more for adult gift-giving, according to Hazel. “We offer baskets that are often built around a sentimental item. For example, we’ve had customers bring in the photo of an ultrasound to announce to their family members that they are expecting a baby,” she says. “The cost varies based on the items a customer purchases here to include in their basket.” While you’re shopping for Easter goodies at The Nut House, don’t forget to check out Hot Mama’s Deli, where you can select from a variety of sandwiches, salads, sides and sweet treats. A lunch combo is offered each day. “We also have daily specials with offerings like beans and cornbread and Hobo Tacos. “All of our food is homecooked,” Hazel adds. On Saturday, April 5 beginning at 10 a.m., a Day of Tasting is planned with free food sampling of new products available at The Nut House. “We’ll be offering a variety of new items, including Cowboy Tom’s Gluten-Free Pancake Mixes,”

The variety of homemade fudge available draws many to The Nut House. From left, Leslie Ward, owner Hazel Ward and Roxanne Smith are ready to help with your shopping experience.

says Hazel. “They are the lightest, fluffiest and most wholesome flapjacks I’ve ever tasted. They’re easy to make and so yummy.”On Friday and Saturday, April 25-26, The Nut House will host a Consignment Sale in Pecan Hall with a variety of items at great prices. Hazel adds that customers should not be discouraged by the highway construction going on in front of the business. “It’s not difficult to get in because

there’s a turn lane that leads you right into our driveway,” she adds. “We’re open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day but Sunday.” For more information, contact

PPurses of Hope Attend the silent auction event benefitting local pediatric cancer patients on Sunday, April 6.

By Sheryl Sowell

Pierce Phillips, a beautiful baby boy with captivating blue eyes, was born on July 30, 2007 to Scott and Brandi Phillips. Pierce was an easygoing child, and people often referred to him as an old soul because of his demeanor and eyes that seemed to be full of wisdom. At 13 months old, Pierce was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma, an especially deadly form of cancer. Pierce underwent several forms of treatment including high dose chemotherapy, surgeries,

radiation and immunotherapy. After these aggressive treatments, Pierce achieved NED status; no evidence of cancer was detected. His family enjoyed the next few months at their home in Tulsa with their healthy son. Unfortunately, Pierce’s disease was highly relentless and returned. In the arms of his mother and surrounded by family, Pierce earned his angel wings on October 9, 2009. Childhood cancer occurs regularly, randomly, and spares no ethnic group, socioeconomic class, or geographic region. One in 133 children will have been diagnosed with cancer by the time they reach the age of 20. Each year, 4,000 children die from cancer – 11 children every single day, every single year. Since 2010, Pierce Phillips Charity, started by Scott and Brandi in memory of their son, has helped fund three Phase 1 Clinical Trials, currently being conducted at various cancer research centers throughout the United States, and supported

numerous Tulsa families with children who are fighting cancer. Pierce’s grandmother, Margie Day, created the Purses of Hope event five years to help local families in need of assistance during this emotionally and financially draining time. “When a child battles cancer, it is very expensive. The silent auction event raises money to help families in any way that they need it, including house and car payments, gas cards and medications. Each family is allowed to apply for financial help once a year,” says Margie. “My girlfriends Cynthia Hoffman, Donna Peabody and Patricia Phillips (Pierce’s other grandmother) are the best and really are the ones that make this happen. They supply and donate all the food and their time. If it were not for them, there is no way this event could take place.” The 5th annual Purses of Hope will be held Sunday, April 6 at 2:30 p.m. at Bar H Vista Farm in Mounds, 20 minutes south of Tulsa.

Margie Day (second from right) and friends show a few of the purses that will be available at Purses of Hope.

Attendees will enjoy refreshments while bidding on their favorites among 50+ purses in the silent auction. “The purses are either new or gently used and include brands like Coach and Kate Spade,” says Margie. “There is a purse for every style and price range.” All proceeds will provide financial support for area pediatric cancer patients via the Pierce Phillips Charity Grant Program. In addition, the event will help fund Bingo Night and Candy Bar Night, a bi-weekly program at St. Francis Children’s Hospital. Those who bring a new toy to Purses of Hope will be entered into the drawing for a variety of door prizes. The toys collected will be distributed during Bingo Nights. “We need toys for

boys and girls ages three months to 16 years. We are always looking for new ideas for older kids, such as iTunes gift cards, knitting kits, nail polish and model kits.” Admission is $10 in advance online at www.piercephillipscharity.org or $15 at the door. Bar H Vista Farm is located at 18451 S. Lewis Ave in Mounds. Take Highway 75 South; turn east on 181st Street, right on Lewis, and go a half-mile to the large white fence and follow the road to the barn.

Worship at The Rock W There’s something for each member of your family at The Rock Church.

By Duane Blankenship

All are welcome to attend services and programs of The Rock Church where Pastors Theresa and Billy Joe Watts share the word of God.

The Rock Church is a multiracial, diverse congregation with a mission to serve God and love people. The outreach ministry began serving the Tulsa community seven years ago under the leadership of Pastors Billy Joe and Theresa Watts. “There’s something for the whole family at The Rock,” says Pastor Billy Joe, “and we invite you to join us for a unique experience where we are confident you will feel God and love.” The Rock Church invites middle school boys to adult men to join in The Timothy Project, a male mentoring and coaching class taught by founding member of the John C. Maxwell Coaching Team, Pastor Billy Joe Watts. Pastor Billy Joe quotes 2 Timothy 2:2, “For you must teach others those things you and many others have heard me speak about. Teach these great truths to trustworthy men who will, in turn, pass them on to others.” The Timothy Project is a life coaching and mentoring program. It lays out a strategy for successful living by

asking, “Who will you be?” as it focuses on the virtues of integrity and honesty. “The goal of the project is to provide a redefinition of manhood,” said Pastor Billy Joe. “In Romans 12:2 we read, ‘Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.’” Billy Joe asks young men to show him their friends and he’ll show the young men their future. “We can’t wait to reach these young men,” he said, “We must do it while they’re still in school and address ‘at risk’ issues before they become huge risks.” The Timothy Project is looking for sponsorships, grants and opportunities to team up with organizations that will help provide funding to expand the visions of young men. Pastor Theresa Watts leads The Rock’s Ladies of Royalty program, a monthly gathering of young women ages 18 to 25 looking to be everything God created them to be. “Our ladies are learning what it means to be a woman of royalty walking

Page 11

in the promises of God. Our hopes are to bring our young women back to reality and teach them valuable life skills,” said Pastor Theresa. Many young women graduate from high school and find themselves asking, ‘Who am I? What do I do and where do I go now?’ If these young women had first found out who they were in Christ, they probably wouldn’t be having these thoughts now. Ladies of Royalty helps them understand what God wants for them. It teaches them to stop listening to worldly views and reality shows and start listening to and trusting in God.” Pastors Billy Joe and Theresa want all young people to be equipped to win in life and enjoy it to the fullest. “There is no progress without a process,” stated Pastor Billy Joe. “The Rock exposes all to something better in life!” Call or visit the website for information on worship services and other programs.

Precision Optical Celebrates 20th Anniversary Owner George Dakil is proud to celebrate two decades in business in 2014.

By Christopher Davis

George Dakil has been an ABO Certified Optician since 1987. This year, he celebrates his 20 year anniversary as owner of Precision Optical. Located in Broken Arrow at 520 S. Elm Pl. across from O’Reilly Auto Parts, Precision Optical offers the best in eyewear and hands-on, personal service. Dakil’s customers get remarkable vision care and great deals, as well as training and education on proper fit, maintenance and the technology related to their

eyewear selections. Dakil is passionate about eyewear and strives to educate his customers so they get the most from their glasses. He is direct, thorough and has a tendency to speak quickly. His personality has an air of friendship and familiarity, until he blows your mind with a highly condensed mini-lecture that perfectly articulates an aspect of vision technology you had taken for granted. Like a good teacher, he readily explains in depth

the pros and cons of polarized versus transition lenses, as well as the nuances of different tints from various makers. Within minutes, Dakil runs through a list of questions about driving and reading habits and work environment, filling the gaps in conversation with a primer on the history of eyewear technology and pertinent details of several options he recommends. The fact that many vision centers make little effort to

Optician George Dakil adjusts glasses for longtime customer J.R Asher, owner of Asher’s Commercial Refrigeration.

educate customers is largely to blame for eyewear problems. “I want to help people get the most mileage out of their eyewear dollars,” he says. “Having somebody ready to maintain your eyewear and take care of it is so important.” Dakil’s friendly, no-nonsense approach helps him explain proper care to customers, something many vision centers with small armies of techs in colorful scrubs seldom make a priority. At Precision Optical, customers can count on not only the perfect prescription lens, but that their glasses will fit better and last longer, too. “The amount of filth and dirt that build up, causing all kinds of hygienic problems and the scratching that people complain about is mostly due to poor cleaning methods,” he says. The truth is, many people either do not clean their glasses properly or not often enough. “We’ll show them how to do that,” he adds. Dakil is also passionate about ensuring that frames fit properly and are protected. “Some folks are sitting on them and stepping on them,” he continues. “They need to get a good fit, which would allow them to leave the glasses on their face and head – where they are

the absolute safest.” It is important to take factors like weight, size and material into consideration, as well as style. But, as he is quick to point out, over time, frames can loosen at the joints and side pieces. Routine maintenance involves much more than simply wiping the lenses on a T-shirt every other day. Besides providing the best maintenance and education resources for customers, Precision Optical also offers frames of all types to fit every budget. The store carries a wide selection from designer brands such as Wiley X, Maui Jim, Vera Bradley and Ralph Lauren. Customers looking for the perfect fit can receive a 10 percent discount on customized packages for most designer frames. This makes it more affordable to combine the proper lenses, prescription and frames to suit anyone’s needs. There is also a “Budget Board,” showcasing frames at special, reduced prices.

AAVB Mortgage Center Gains New President Kevin Highland has over 30 years of management experience and is thrilled to be joining AVB.

By Kelli Sowell

Ted Cundiff, AVB Bank president and chief executive officer (CEO), has announced that Kevin Highland (NMLS ID 211343) has joined AVB Mortgage Center and been named the new president for the mortgage division. Highland will serve on AVB Bank’s management team. “As AVB Bank considered the expansion and growth of our mortgage division, we quickly identified Kevin to direct this initiative,” stated Cundiff. “He is an accomplished leader in the mortgage

industry and will be instrumental in streamlining our mortgage processes, expanding our mortgage offerings and growing and developing AVB’s Mortgage Center.” Highland has over 30 years of management experience in sales, real estate, consumer finance and portfolio servicing. Highland made his move to AVB after serving as vice president for The Exchange Bank, where he was responsible for secondary mortgage financing, as well as serving for the past 15 years as president of Great Plains

Kevin Highland, president, AVB Mortgage Center.

Mortgage Company, Inc. A graduate of Iowa State University, Highland holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. Highland and his wife, Karen, reside in Owasso. “AVB Bank has an excellent reputation for providing unparalleled customer service and developing relationships with their clients. They understand hometown banking and the need for individual and professional attention, yet, they are large enough to provide the innovative product offers that customers need,” Highland commented. “I am thrilled to be part of the growth and development of AVB Mortgage Center, and borrowers can be confident that they have a partner in AVB, that will walk every step alongside them as they discover the loan that best fits their needs.” Staffed with local industry experts to service local clients, AVB Mortgage Center continues to hire professionals with deep roots in the local community. “Kevin is an accomplished leader and is assembling a fine team of high-quality and professional loan originators that are

passionate about helping our clients,” explained Cundiff. Joining Highland at AVB Mortgage Center are three loan originators that have an excellent history of customer service: Tommy Gann (NMLS ID 217602), Gary Laughinghouse (NMLS ID 217154) and Katherine Grammer (NMLS ID 743106). Additional staffing and expansion is slated for 2014. Highland is pleased to announce that a new product offering is now available through AVB Mortgage Center. AVB has become an approved lender for the Section 184 Indian Home Loan Guarantee Program, a program specifically designed for American Indian and Alaska Native families, Alaska Villages, Tribes, or Tribally Designated Housing Entities. “Because of the unique status of Indian lands being held in Trust, Native American homeownership has historically been an underserved market,” explained Highland. “Through the Section 184 program, loans can be used, both on and off native lands, for new construction, rehabilitation, purchase of an existing home or refinance.”

“The expansion of the AVB Mortgage Center comes at an exciting time within the mortgage banking industry. AVB Bank has recognized that consumers and realtors need a partner that offers a broad spectrum of products and common sense underwriting. Our clients need personalized attention and solutions that are customized to their financial circumstances. AVB Mortgage Center can provide step-by-step guidance for homebuyers, locally review and approve loans and provide timely feedback – and be that solution.” AVB Mortgage Center offers a variety of additional loan options, including: FHA, new home purchase, jumbo financing, rate and term financing, constructionto-permanent, cash out refinancing, rural development, and investment property purchase.

Who doesn’t enjoy the simple pleasure in taking the time to relax with a warm bath and letting the pressing moments of the day simply pass away for the moment? The aches and pains many of us feel now that we’ve grown older seem to subside with the refreshing warmth provided by spending time in the water. Unfortunately for many aging Americans with mobility issues, stepping into a bath can result in slipping and falling into the tub or onto the floor. This fear of falling has made the simple act of bathing and its therapeutic benefits something many no longer feel comfortable doing. Designed for Seniors® recently partnered with Jacuzzi®, the company we all know as having perfected hydrotherapy. “Together, they have created walk-in tubs and showers that offer more than just safe bathing, peace-ofmind and independence. The resulting products can actually help us feel better,” said Greg. “We recommend

Community Builders' products include walk-in tubs and showers that are easily accessible for anyone with limited mobility.

several quality tub and shower offerings from Jacuzzi® and Luxury Bath that are easy to access even by wheelchair for those with limited mobility.” Although these innovative new bath products are ideal for seniors, they also advance the quality of life for any individual. Retirement may be many years away for you, but you can still benefit from a remodeling of your bathroom that will begin serving you now throughout your senior years. “Customers are excited when they discover that we have products that successfully combine the safety of a walkin bath tub with the benefits of a hot tub,” said Greg. “You can now have that experience, usually offered only by luxurious resorts, and you can enjoy it in the privacy of your own home whenever you desire.” Now is a great time to be remodeling. Community Builders offers 12 months “same as cash” or easy low

payment plans tailored to your budget. Remodeling can add value to your home and is something your family will enjoy well into your future. Greg serves on the National Board of Advisors for GE Home Improvement Lending. His company is a professional organization that has been recognized nationally with the Business Ethics Award presented by the National Association of Siding and Window Dealers. You can review their stellar record with the BBB and the Greater Tulsa Home Builders Association. Community Builders is eager to earn your business and trust. For more information, contact

AAdvanced Cosmetic Enhancements Glow Medical Aesthetics now offers platelet-rich plasma, an innovative treatment in regenerative medicine.

By Deanna Rebro

“We cannot stop the aging process, but we can slow it down,” says Jenny Guthrie, owner of Glow Medical Aesthetics. For the past three

years, the advanced practitioner registered nurse and certified nurse practitioner has been helping clients look their best at any

Jenny Guthrie, APRN, CNP, offers clients a more youthful appearance.

age with safe and effective medical cosmetic procedures in a relaxing atmosphere. The latest offering on her long menu of skin care services is platelet-rich plasma. PRP is an emerging treatment in regenerative medicine. The treatment has been used in other medical venues for about 20 years, but recently its benefits were put to use in aesthetics. PRP works on the premise that the human body has an inherent ability to heal itself. In the simplest terms, platelets and plasma from the patient’s blood are spun and then reintroduced in facial areas to help restore volume. “PRP releases eight essential growth factors that stimulate the body to grow collagen to improve tone, texture and elasticity, reduce fine lines, and strengthen the skin,” Jenny explains. “It can even be used around the eyes.” Because all the elements retrieved in PRP are exclusively from the patient, there is virtually no risk of an allergic reaction or intolerance. Patients typically see results in six to eight weeks.

Will and Jennifer Watkins, are new

Other skin care offerings at Glow include Botox, antioxidants, facials and a variety of chemical peels. Men and women from their 20s to 80s come for help to reduce wrinkles, diminish skin lines and improve skin texture in general. Each patient’s history plays a big part in the health of their skin. Smoking, sun or tanning damage can show ill effects on the youngest of faces. Acne scars make a big difference, too. “A lot of times patients tell me they are asked if they are tired, even when they aren’t,” she says. “Cosmetic fillers can help them look more refreshed.” Inflammation, redness, sunspots and uneven pigmentation are other common problems that she helps to minimize. The long-time medical professional says she takes great pleasure in creating beauty from a combination of art and science. Her artistic ability is backed by 18 years as a registered nurse, 13 years as a nurse practitioner in family practice and internal

medicine, five years in aesthetics, and three years in her own business. She understands the scientific principles of the techniques and products she uses and can explain why each of them was recommended for that patient. Jenny’s professional, individualized approach enables her to customize a treatment and maintenance plan that fits each patient’s condition, goals and budget. A broad range of medical grade skin care products are also available for at-home use. New patients who want to look their best at any age are invited to call Glow Medical Aesthetics for a consultation appointment.

SStumped to Find a Quality Tree Company? S&W Tree Specialists offers a comprehensive menu of tree and yard services to prepare for the upcoming storm season.

By Christopher Davis

After a challenging and dynamic winter, spring is finally here. Before it is too late, preparations for severe storms and grueling heat should be made. And, if you are searching for tree and lawn services, look no further than S&W Tree Specialists. The S&W Tree family offers a comprehensive assortment of tree and yard services. Based in Broken Arrow, the family-owned business has been providing stellar service to commercial and private properties in the

region for years. From property maintenance to residential yards and tree care, S&W’s experts will help you prepare for the upcoming storm season and ensure your landscape is green and healthy for the summer. With accounts that include FedEx Ground, Brookhaven Hospital and properties, and Philbrook Museum, S&W has a proven record of maintaining highprofile landscapes and urban forests. Their commitment to

says early spring is the best time for tree fertilizing and trimming. Sometimes, though, a client may not realize a request, like tree topping, may severely damage the tree in question. “Reducing – where you selectively remove only about a third of the tree – is one thing,” Dale Hughes, manager, says, “but tree topping is bad for the trees.” He continues, “When you take away the foliage, you’re taking away the tree’s ability to produce chlorophyll.” If a tree is unable to effectively convert sunlight to energy, the tree will eventually die. The objective, instead, is to reduce a tree’s size in such a way that it is attractive, lives a healthy life and poses little to no threat during severe weather. In Oklahoma, storms can threaten trees (as well as homes and people) yearround. Hiring professionals who are willing to apply their experience and knowledge can mean the difference between a sturdy, safe and healthy tree and a hazard that can wreak havoc at any time. It's always better to be proactive than reactive. In times of emergency,

thorough, beautiful and healthy trees and yards extends to every job, no matter how big or small. One benefit of hiring S&W is their experience and ability to educate customers on how best to maintain attractive aesthetics while preserving the health of trees and plants. Joe Fansler, arborist, works with customers to determine the best approach to trimming trees. “I focus on getting them what they want and need," says Fansler. He

Joe Fansler and Bryan Merseburgh, S&W Tree Specialists.

S&W is waiting for your call. Offering 24-hour emergency storm service, they have a crew prepared to handle any job. With heavy-duty, state-ofthe-art equipment and a fleet of trucks, you can rely on S&W to complete jobs efficiently and safely. In addition to full tree services, S&W provides excellent yard services. Bryan Merseburgh, lawn care supervisor, oversees crews who provide lawn care, insecticide and fertilizer services. Merseburgh and his crew make sure the same quality and attention devoted to tree services carries over to the yard. Whether in need of tree or yard services, customers can count on S&W Tree Specialists to keep trees and landscapes green and healthy. With spring in full bloom, now is the time to make sure every step is taken to protect your plants for the summer.

SSaving for a Rainy Day RCB Bank offers tips for building an emergency fund.

By Jocelyn Wood

Life happens. Sometimes it happens according to plan. Occasionally, an unforeseen rain shower pours down – a busted water pipe, a broken down car, a job loss. Though we cannot forecast the unexpected expenses that pop up after a downpour, we can open an umbrella to shield us from dipping into debt. Tara Depperschmidt, of RCB Bank, and her husband use a simple strategy to build their rainy day fund for emergencies. It’s based on a single principle: pay yourself first. “When my husband and I first got married, he was in school and we were living payday to payday,” said Depperschmidt. “We knew that if something came up and we needed extra funds, we would be in a great deal of trouble, so we thought we better think of some creative ways to try to save a little bit of money.” Their creative thinking led to a solution that required only a small change in their budgeting habits. To start, they figured out what their

lowest paychecks would be each payday and used that as the base of their budget. “If $500 is my base budget and I made $525 on a paycheck, I’d set aside the $25,” said Depperschmidt. “We already determined we could survive on the $500, so why not pretend we don't have the $25 and save it for an emergency?” When their paychecks increase, for example to $550, they increase their savings to $50. “I figure I have managed with $500 all this time, so why not continue to set aside the extra money?” Depperschmidt admits it’s a mental issue to make certain you put aside the money. When she sits down on payday to look over her bills, first and foremost, she pays herself. “Saving money is never a fun thing to do but once you really get it in your mind that it’s the right thing to do, and when an unexpected expense comes up and you can cover it debt-free, makes it a great thing to do,” Depperschmidt said.

There are numerous banking products that can help a person save – checking and savings accounts, money market accounts, 30-day CDs – but it truly depends on individual circumstances when it comes to choosing which one will work best for you. If you’re unsure, the best thing to do is speak with a professional banker. “Something, anything you save is better than nothing,” said Depperschmidt. “I have two checking accounts and one savings. One checking is my everyday account which I use for everything. The second checking account is used for saving for specific reasons, like an upcoming vacation. My savings account is for emergencies only, money that I want limited access to.” To learn more about how RCB Bank’s products and services can not only help you save for a rainy day, but reward you in the process, stop by your local RCB Bank and chat with one of our friendly bankers. You can also call us at 855-BANKRCB or live chat online at

A Dental Plan to Make You Smile the cost of dental care is going to third parties: the insurance companies, claims form administrators and collection costs. When a potential dental problem is detected early – through regular exams and preventive procedures including cleanings and fluoride treatments – and then treated, it inherently saves you money, much more than if you wait to receive treatment after the problem has become a greater issue. You’ve heard the old saying, “Pay me now or pay me later.”

When Dr. White and his staff saw the hundreds of dollars families were spending for treatments that could have been avoided by early detection through simple routine checkups, they chose to put a tailored plan in action that is currently being made available in selected dental offices across the nation. The plan is both simple and ingenious and is called QDP (Quality Dental Plan). Dr. White says, “I have found that we can offer free exams, free teeth cleanings with all necessary exams and 20 percent off

continued from page 1

most dental procedures, by offering our own in-house dental savings plan. QDP eliminates the insurance company middle man and their huge profits, and puts the savings back in your pocket.” Dr. White said the premiums individuals or employers pay for dental insurance more than covers the costs of two cleanings, exams and preventive care in most dental offices. Instead of wasting these dollars on excessive premiums, they can be used instead for needed treatment. With this plan, you and your

family will have no reason to avoid recommended check-ups and cleanings. Dr. White also hopes that the cost savings potential of QDP will make sense to employers as an alternative to offering current dental insurance options to their employees. When you visit “White Smile,” you’ll find a full range of services utilizing only the latest materials, techniques and technologies available. They have a beautiful, comfortable office with a friendly, caring and helpful staff. Call the office of White

Cosmetic and Family Dentistry and schedule a consultation to receive additional information about their in-house QDP. For more information, contact

Welcome to the first installment of Go Downtown with Value News! Every month will highlight entertainment, dining and other activities in Downtown Tulsa, helping readers make the most of their time and money in each district. By Christopher Davis Downtown Tulsa is bursting with original music and art, quirky shops, exciting dining options, and plays host to several professional sports teams and regular concerts from big name performers.

5K, runners are encouraged to dress in costume and race against the Elote Luchadores, dodging “urban obstacles.”

Blue Dome District BOK Center The BOK Center continues to draw large crowds and top acts, selling over 400,000 concert tickets in 2013. Things begin to heat up in April, as Kings of Leon take the stage on April 8 and George Strait on April 19. Also, the Oklahoma Defenders, Tulsa’s professional indoor football team, takes on the Bloomington Edge on April 12 and the Wichita Wild on April 26. Visit www.bokcenter.com for tickets and details on all events and concerts.

Brady Arts District The Brady Arts District is home to some of Tulsa’s best music venues, art galleries and dining. While in the area, stop by Chimera for a bite to eat and a drink before the show. Chimera, run by two native Tulsans and located at 212 N. Main St., serves unique food, coffee and beverages. Touting a menu suitable for vegans, vegetarians or carnivores, everyone is sure to leave with a full stomach and smile on their face. In addition to an extensive wine and beer list, they serve cocktails and award-winning coffee.

Deco District At the heart of Downtown Tulsa is the Deco District. Home to beautifully preserved art deco buildings, this district has witnessed renewed interest lately. Perfect for a date night or a mini tour for visiting friends, soak up some of the charm of 1920s architecture and grab a bite. Elote Café & Catering, located at 514 S. Boston Ave, is widely credited with spearheading the Deco District Revival. This funky, hip “fresh Mex” restaurant embodies the culture of downtown. Specializing in Mexican cuisine made from locallysourced ingredients, Elote is healthy and fun. Over the years, the restaurant added lucha libre wrestling (a style of wrestling popular in Mexico and other Spanish-speaking countries, in which the wrestlers wear masks and boast colorful personalities) to its list of events, and it stuck. Today, Elote hosts regular wrestling matches, starring its own cast of luchador wrestlers. On Saturday, April 5 at 5 p.m., Elote hosts the annual Luchador Run, benefitting the Tulsa YMCA. Featuring a one mile fun run and a

Blue Dome District, which surrounds the intersection of Elgin and 2nd, blends entertainment, dining and shopping. Offering something for everyone, the district is a hub of excitement day and night. Located at 119 S. Detroit Ave., Dwelling Spaces is a quirky, Tulsa-centric gift shop that specializes in Oklahoma music, art, coffee and…robots. On any given weekend, one is equally likely to find live music, an art exhibit or book signing, as the store has become a popular stop for Okie creative-types. Just around the corner is the latest venture from Tulsa City Councilman and entrepreneur Blake Ewing. White Flag, located at 116 S. Elgin, serving hamburgers and drinks, is quickly becoming a popular venue for live music in the district. To view a menu and learn more about events, visit www.whiteflagtulsa.com.

ONEOK Field

This year’s Luchador Run hosted by Elote will be Saturday, April 5.

Just north of Blue Dome District, at 201 N. Elgin, is ONEOK Field, home to the Tulsa Drillers. The Drillers host Corpus Christi on Thursday, April 3, for opening night, followed by games against San Antonio and Arkansas throughout the month. With tickets starting at $5 (with $2 lawn tickets on Tuesdays), a baseball game downtown is a fun and affordable family outing. Visit www.milb.com for game schedule and tickets.

Guthrie Green Just across from the ball field, at 111 E. Brady St., is Guthrie Green – a wide open lawn designed for community events. April marks the beginning of the Sunday Market, a farmers market that runs 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Sunday until the end of October. Guthrie Green showcases live music, as well. On Saturday, April 26, at 7 p.m. catch Chamber Music Tulsa present “Bohemian” Rhapsody.

Red Hot Designs offers bridal and formal gowns for every personality and budget.

By Sheryl Sowell

Every girl dreams of being the “belle of the ball” and to wear a gorgeous gown that makes her feel absolutely radiant. Unless you’re a celebrity who regularly walks the red carpet, such opportunities are rare and come along only once or twice in a girl’s life. That’s why her prom and wedding day are so special – she gets to live the fantasy and be the princess for an unforgettable, once-ina-lifetime night. Brides and high school seniors can turn these dreams into reality with the help of Red Hot Designs, a unique store that makes the experience of dress shopping fun and stress-free. Owner Brenda Bryant opened her shop on the corner of 10th and Main in Collinsville two years ago after being encouraged by friends and family that it was her calling. Brenda finds deep satisfaction in helping ladies find the perfect gown for their special occasion. “I began drawing designs and sewing at 8 years old and have had a love for fashion ever since. My goal is to help girls find their dream dress,” says Brenda. “I don’t pressure anyone to buy anything they don’t need or want, and there

is never a time limit. I pay attention to their facial expressions and body language when they are trying something on. The right dress creates emotion, and if they don’t feel that ‘aha’ moment, it’s time to try something else. There is a perfect dress for every girl out there.” Brenda runs Red Hot Designs with the help of her daughter Jamie and her daughter-in-law, Nichole. Her store stands apart from others because of the incredible selection and laidback, cheerful atmosphere. These ladies have a blast every day, smiling, laughing and making everyone feel at ease. “Shopping for your prom or wedding dress should be a fun, exciting part of the process – not upsetting or stressful. We always have a wonderful time with our customers,” adds Brenda. Red Hot Designs carries dresses for every budget and individual taste, ranging in size from 00 to 30. You’ll find a huge array of options to flatter your body shape and reflect your personality, whether you want elegant and understated or larger than life and glitzy. You’ll

find designer brands such as Jasz Coutoure, Joli, Precious Formals, Splash, Da Vinci, Coco Anais and many more. “For prom, sequins, sparkles, gems and vibrant colors are big right now. We always record every dress purchased for each prom, and we will not sell the same dress to another girl going to that particular prom," says Brenda. “For brides, ivory is a universally flattering color. Popular trends this year include lace, keyhole backs, and over-theshoulder designs.” Strapless is another lovely and classic choice; but many avoid the style because they don’t want to be tugging and adjusting their dress all night. “If your dress fits properly, this will not happen. Our wonderful seamstress meets customers at the store to create the perfect fit.” In addition to prom and wedding dresses, Red Hot Designs offers bridesmaid and mother of the bride dresses, tuxedo rentals, and a variety of accessories including custom sashes and veils by Bridal Couture Girls and feather pieces by Sei Bella. If you’re planning your wedding or prom, you owe it to yourself to visit Red Hot

Brenda Bryant, owner of Red Hot Designs.

Designs for a shopping experience like no other. “This is not a job for me, it is my passion. I love helping a young lady feel like the most beautiful girl at her prom, and hearing about a groom who tears up at the sight of his stunning bride walking down the aisle. It is so gratifying,” says Brenda. Red Hot Designs is a member of the Tulsa Wedding Society. Store hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and

BBuilding with Pride Inola Portable Buildings & Pole Barns offers variety and top-grade work.

By Carol Beck-Round

Inola Portable Buildings has a reputation – a good one. According to owner Carl Parson, “Customers drive from Bristow, Sapulpa, Tulsa and beyond to purchase their portable buildings from us.” Whether you need a storage building, pole barn, loafing shed, metal garage, cabin or other portable building, Inola Portable

Buildings & Pole Barns can meet your needs. In business since 1998, they have earned an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau. “We only use top-grade materials on everything we build,” says Parson, who before starting his company had been in the construction and roofing business for 20 years. His experience in that

field has carried over to the quality he delivers in every product his company makes, whether it is metal or wood. At the business, located off the north side of Highway 412 at 30355 S. 4230 Rd., you can browse through more than 50 displays available. Buildings can be delivered or built on location, but about 90 percent of the business’

work is done on location. “We’ve also built carports and RV covers as well as allmetal garages,” he adds. “We stay busy and can do custom work. If you have an idea for a building that you would like, just ask.” In the company’s 16-year history, “We have never had a complaint about our buildings,” says Parson. “Our business has grown through word of mouth. We started with two buildings when we opened and it just continues to grow each year even though we are located in an out-of-the-way place. We’ve found that if you do everything better than the next guy, you’ll stay busy.” While they do mainly residential work, the company has expanded – again by referrals – to include portable building projects at public schools in Claremore, Jay, Catoosa, Inola, Locust Grove and Tulsa, as well as businesses such as Arby’s. “We have built storage buildings for Arby’s all over northeastern Oklahoma,” he says. “We have also constructed portable buildings for the City of Tulsa.” Conventional or Dutch Barn portable buildings include treated skids along with treated floor joists on 16-inch centers, ¾-inch tongue and groove flooring, #2 stud grade materials, a 25year factory warranty on Smart trim, 25-year warranty on Smart panel siding, 30# felt paper and a 30-year warranty on Tamko shingles.

Extras, like steel doors, windows, 4-foot loft, work bench and a 4-foot treated ramp, are available at an additional charge. Sizes begin at 8x8 up to 16x24 and larger. Pole barns, which range in size from 24x24 to 40x60, include one walk-in door and one 9x8 overhead door. An additional door is available for an extra charge. The company offers a 40-year manufacturer’s warranty on the 29-gauge metal used in the pole barns and loafing sheds while the insulation comes with a manufacturer’s 10-year warranty. Also included in the base price is a 4-inch concrete slab with rebar 18-inch on center in floor and 10-foot sidewalls. “We can build a pole barn, concrete included, within a week,” says Parson. “We can complete a portable building – built on site – in one day.” Although they are open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Saturday, Parson will meet with potential customers at a different time to accommodate their schedules. “They just need to give us a call and we can work it out.” The company also offers rent-to-own options.

World Malaria Day Is April 25th W Kairos10 celebrates past success and continues its efforts in the fight against malaria.

By Stephanie Reed

Malaria is a killer, a killer that claims one child’s life per minute. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2012 alone, malaria claimed the lives of 627,000 people, 86 percent of which were children, with a total of 207 million cases reported. These statistics tell us two very important things. The first – malaria is a vicious disease, and the

second – malaria is preventable and curable. Malaria is not a disease most Americans are familiar with. It is the name of a faraway sickness of little to no consequence for most of us. Unfortunately, that is simply not the case. In America, an average of 1,500 cases of malaria are reported annually, though the disease was eradicated in the 1950s.

Marked by vomiting, body aches, fever, and, if left untreated, death, malaria is transmitted through mosquito bites. Symptoms begin to occur seven to 30 days after infection; if antimalarial drugs have been taken, symptoms may take weeks or even months to manifest, often leading to misdiagnosis. The disease can lay dormant in the liver and reactivate

after periods of dormancy for two to even four years. Pregnant women and children under the age of five are particularly susceptible. Researchers have found that the best way to fight malaria is to prevent it. Mosquito nets, which shelter and protect five people, have proven especially effective. The problem – in the last year, major distributors have decreased the number of nets distributed, and the death toll has risen. According to WHO, the net distribution total is down 50 percent from 2010. The solution – local nonprofits are raising money to distribute nets in affected areas, and we can help. Phyllis Morris is one such individual who is helping; together with Katheryn Pennington, they founded Kairos10, a nonprofit dedicated to fighting malaria in Ghana. “This mission is so close to my heart. As a parent, when you see your children suffer, you will do anything to help ease their pain. We are so fortunate to have qualified doctors and hospitals, but so many families in Ghana have to watch their babies suffer and die. I can’t abide by that – not when there is something

that I can do to help prevent the illness,” explains Phyllis, a nurse. Kairos10 purchases Ghanaian beads made from recycled glass, vinyl records, bones, and brass from local merchants and pays native women to make jewelry. The jewelry is then sold in the United States, and the proceeds are used to purchase and distribute insecticidetreated bed nets. Thus far, Kairos10 has succeeded in protecting over 110,000 people from malaria through the distribution of mosquito nets. This April, in honor of World Malaria Day, we can all be heroes. Armed with the knowledge that malaria is not a sickness of long ago, we can all join in the fight to eradicate this killer. For more information on jewelry sales or to get involved, contact Kairos10.

LLet Your Personal Style Shine Twisted Soul Sisters specializes in custom jewelry and Southern fashion with flair.

By Stephanie Reed

Amid the sparkle and creative chaos, Bixby boutique owners Kelly Corey and Marti Coleman sit engrossed in creating custom jewelry with vintage embellishments. “The combination of the custom style and repurposing of vintage pieces ensures that customers will never purchase something and then run into it someplace else,” Kelly

explains. “We cater to the individual, and we want the individual’s style to shine.” The pair encourages customers to bring vintage pieces long forgotten from a family member’s collection, or to choose from a plethora of pieces available in the store. Once the embellishments are chosen, the ladies go to work creating

and stamping made-to-order necklaces, bracelets and earrings. Along with custom jewelry, Twisted Soul Sisters also offers Jane Marie and Lenny and Eva jewelry. Both lines feature interchangeable charms to make going from bracelets to necklaces a breeze. With 22 different

clothing lines gracing the racks, and boots from Old Gringo, Corral, and Liberty Black, Twisted Soul Sisters has the outfit to make any occasion. Patrons are sure to find an exceptional head-totoe look with brands that are unique to the Tulsa area. “We want ladies to be able to find the perfect outfit for that special event, whether it is a date or a concert,” Kelly says. “Our customers can be completely outfitted without the mall feel.” While Twisted Soul Sisters is certainly not a mall, the boutique does manage to have something for everyone on your list. With brands like Shannon Martin, and her signature flasks and coasters, along with Mud Pie, the store carries great hostess gifts and a little something for the hard-to-buy-for crowd. And when you find that perfect gift, be sure to take advantage of the free gift wrapping. Can’t decide which gift is more perfect than the next? No worries, gift cards are always available. In addition to great gifts, Plaster Paint is another hot item in the store. It is an affordable, no-prep paint that works beautifully on a variety

of surfaces – even metals. Extremely versatile, plaster paint comes in 30 different colors and is around half the price of its leading competitors. Twisted Soul Sisters offers regular promotions and layaway for boots and clothing. Savings range from 25 percent off denim to BOGO T-shirts to 20 percent off custom jewelry creations. "Like our Twisted Soul Sisters Facebook page and watch for special Thursday dates when we host Ladies' Nights and stay open late.

GGreen Grass Sooner, Not Later SoonerLawn has earned a reputation for quick results and healthy grass.

By Christopher Davis

dent and landscaping chairman voices his satisfaction with SoonerLawn. But with lawns’ colors speak louder than words. Wherever one sees SoonerLawn trucks working, green grass will be found sooner, not later. The key to SoonerLawn’s success is striking the right balance of fertilizers and weed control, as well as pest control. Fertilization and weed control are both crucial to maintaining a healthy, green lawn. Anyone who has taken the DIY approach to lawn care is familiar with trial and

error in the yard. Too much fertilizer – or the wrong mixture – means the grass will burn up and die, effecting the exact opposite of the intended result. SoonerLawn will determine the proper right mix of fertilizer to ensure grass thrives with minimal effort on the owner’s part. “It is important to water following fertilization,” says Bolton. With proper fertilization and watering cycles, owners will see positive results. Within weeks, thick, healthy grass will be growing. But as healthy grass takes off, so can weeds.

Be proud of your lush, green lawn with the help of SoonerLawn.

SoonerLawn also discerns which herbicide to apply in order to control weeds, giving desired turf the best opportunity to grow without competition in the yard. As with fertilization, weed control is not a one-size-fits-all approach, requiring experts in order to do the job properly. SoonerLawn will assess which weeds are problems, in which areas, and apply appropriate mixtures and amounts to kill off weeds. Aeration is an often-overlooked process with lawn care. Essentially, aeration entails the creation of small holes underneath grass, allowing nutrients, oxygen and water to better reach the roots. Since most lawns serve as outdoor floors for kids, pets and fun activities, it does not take long for ground to get so compacted that grass cannot thrive. SoonerLawn uses a machine to systematically pull out small plugs of dirt, allowing roots to stretch out, breathe and feed much more comfortably. Bolton recommends aeration at least twice per year for most lawns. “Spring and fall are the ideal times for aeration,” he says. With fertilization, weed control and aeration in place, one may believe all that is left

to worry about is watering and mowing. However, pests can undo even the best efforts at lawn care. SoonerLawn provides pest control, giving grass the defense it needs against major enemies like ants, chinch bugs and moles. Though such battles can be frustrating and long-term, Bolton and his staff will apply insecticides or repellents to get the problem under control. No more brown patches. No more anthills, molehills or gopher mounds to interrupt the sea of green or disrupt lawn mowing. At the end of the day, establishing and maintaining a lush, green yard is the goal. SoonerLawn takes the fuss and effort away from the owner. With their expertise and equipment, they are prepared to take on the burden of assessing lawn care needs and executing the appropriate solutions.
