Real People Working for a Common Goal Route 66 Chevrolet has the right people in the right places working to build lifetime relationships with customers.

BY DUANE BLANKENSHIP

I

n July 2017, Route 66 Chevrolet opened doors at I-44 & Memorial in Tulsa. In an interview with executive manager Chuck Mulkey, the recurring theme was great employees who are all real people, teamwork, family, and making Route 66 Chevrolet the absolute best they can be. With Route 66 from the start, Mulkey has been in the automotive business for 30 years and was recently promoted to executive manager. He takes pride in the team that he refers to as a family.

“We are a team focused on making the company greater than ever,” he said. “The location has a new name, but many great employees are still here and several who once were here have come back. We have the right people in the right places.”

Mulkey plus general sales manager Dustin Hightower, controller Trena McGill, used car director Eddie Saxon and floor manager Will Turner provide faith-focused leadership to round out the executive management team.

Mulkey also emphasized the expertise of employees who are rarely seen by the public but play an integral role in the success and integrity of daily operations.

Although behind the scenes, these “family” members are on top of accounting procedures, warranty administration, parts acquisitions, service and much more. Many of the dealership’s key leaders have prior military service, and the (continued on next page)

(continued from previous page) organization definitely has a heart for the military.

They appreciate the hardworking people who come to the store hoping to find a vehicle. “We do what we say we’re going to do,” says Mulkey, “and we want to help you find the car you need at a price you feel is right. A driving purpose is to build lifetime relationships with our valued customers.”

Mulkey announced that his team focuses on building the largest fleet and commercial vehicle department in the Tulsa area.

Look to them for sales and service whether beginning or adding to your fleet lineup.

“We genuinely want to stay plugged into our community,” stated Mulkey. “Last year we were a sponsor of the ‘Tulsa St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway,’ benefiting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and we’re doing it again this year.” St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is based in Memphis, Tennessee, but since it opened in 1962, doctors there have treated children from all 50 states and 70 foreign countries, children with catastrophic diseases like cancer. Win a house. Help save children’s lives. Tickets will be available this spring for a chance to win a home, a Chevrolet vehicle from Rt. 66, and other prizes.

The mission of St. Jude is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric cancer

and other catastrophic diseases through research and treatment.

Specifically, they wish to increase the cure rates to over 90 percent

for the major forms of childhood cancer and advance research and treatment of specific childhood diseases such as sickle cell disease and pulmonary infectious diseases.

When St. Jude opened its doors in 1962, only 20 percent of children with cancer survived. Today, helped by innovative research at St. Jude, over 80 percent survive. Consistent with the vision of founder Danny Thomas, no family ever receives a bill for treatment, travel, housing or food. This allows treatment and research to be conducted at St. Jude in an unsurpassed manner.

St. Jude is a world leader in both providing treatment to children and making scientific discoveries that will save the lives of more children in the future.

“We want to help you find the car you need at a price you feel is right.�

St. Jude serves as a global resource by sharing their knowledge and discoveries with health care and scientific research professionals around the world. Integral to the success of the organization is their ability to raise the necessary funds to support the mission and accelerate progress. They make discoveries and treatment innovations widely available to the global health care and research communities. They share the primary data from research freely with those wishing to use the information for research purposes.

Mulkey also announced the introduction of RED (Remember Everyone Deployed) Shirt Fridays.

Each Friday, members of the military or their families receive special prices on all vehicles and services at Route 66 Chevrolet.

Stop in to visit the real people who are working together for the common goal of making you feel welcomed and appreciated.

TENACIOUS TERMITES!

BY MACY GOODNIGHT

W

hen the temperature in Oklahoma begins to warm, you might notice clouds of small insects swarming about in your yard. You may choose to dismiss the sight as a mere annoyance, but there could very likely be a more severe problem looming just out of sight. Termite swarms are the dark cloud of a potentially dangerous storm of destruction in your home if left untreated.

The family at Mother Nature Pest Control have been working to help homeowners battle the bugs for 42 years. Vice president, Shelia Jean and sales representative, Taylor Reed, stress prevention as the best deterrent for damaging termites. “You really want to make sure that you have something in place before you see the termite swarms,” said Taylor.

“Once you see the swarms, it’s usually too late. They could already have caused damage to your home.” Mother Nature experts are Certified Specialists in the use of the Sentricon System with Always Active Technology, a series of baited traps, strategically placed around the home, to ensure that termites meet their demise. This scientifically designed system is the No. 1 brand in termite protection.

The Sentricon system is superior to toxic poisons that are not only dangerous to people and pets but only treat the termites that cross its 10 |

VALUES

TULSA MARCH 2019

path. The system effectively uses baited capsules buried around the perimeter of a home or business.

Any termites in the vicinity will take the bait and deliver it back to the queen and the colony, ultimately killing them all. “A termite colony can be 5 feet below the ground,” said Taylor. “You have to be able to eliminate the colony to ensure total protection of your home.”

Termites are very common woodeating insects that can cause billions of dollars in damage to homes across the U.S. A colony of termites can range in number of a few hundred to enormous societies of several million. “Detection of termites can be tricky,” said Shelia. “Usually once they are noticed, it’s when damage has already been done. If you have issues with moles or gophers in your yard, this could be an indication that you have termites,” said Shelia.

“Termites are a big food source for them.” Mole control is also offered.

Now is the time to get the Sentricon System into place, before the arrival of spring and the ensuing swarms begin. To provide the best possible service, Mother Nature offers a 21-point inspection for termites and other pests. They recommend inspections annually. “It’s almost the same as going to the doctor for a yearly physical,” said Taylor. “It’s just as important to make sure that your home is healthy and protected.”

Once termites begin infestation in the home, they may go unnoticed d until extensive damage has occurred inside the walls.

With W Wi ithou th hou o t pr p ev even enti en tiion on,, te erm rmiitttes es can es n inf nfes estt es an a n nd d ca causse im imme mme mens nssel ely y ex xpe pen pen nssive iv ve da dama age g .

“It’s almost the same as going to the doctor for a yearly physical,” said Taylor. “It’s just as important to make sure that your home is healthy and protected.”

Mother Nature expertise is available in all areas of pest control in addition to termites, including bedbugs. These nasty critters have been making the news lately as a growing problem for many. It is a myth that they are only found in beds, as they can be found on furniture, carpet and even toys.

“They can attach themselves to anything,” said Shelia, “which make them a big nuisance for anyone who travels.” Shelia advises caution when purchasing used merchandise as this is a common way for them to spread. Once they are detected in the home, the elimination process entails thorough treatment and follow up.

“It can be a nightmare for people, and it can happen to anyone,” said Shelia.

“We can help eliminate them quickly.”

In addition to pest control services, Mother Nature is also a trusted name for lawn care, providing weed control and fertilizing.

How we can help you reach a healthy weight Don’t live another year unhappy with your weight. Achieve your goals in 2019 with the help of Grassroots Healthcare. Call our office in Tulsa to schedule your consultation.

We offer a variety of weight management plans because one is not right for every person.

After gathering your medical history and doing a physical exam, the Grassroots Providers get a better idea of what type of plan will work best for you. We also consult with you about your preferences, your schedule, and any limitations you have.

We may recommend any one of a variety of strategies for your weight loss journey.

A keto diet restricts your carbohydrate intake so your body burns more of your fat stores for fuel. You focus on eating mostly fats and proteins. We often will couple this with a sugar free detox, intermittent fasting, and if desired, appetite suppressants to get you into ketosis, where you will produce your own natural appetite suppressants.

The HCG diet involves injections of this hormone that’s usually produced with pregnancy to help reset your metabolism so you can lose as much as a pound per day.

We supervise you as you follow the very low-calorie diet that accompanies the injections.

With a sugar-free detox, Grassroots providers can help free you of a sugar addiction that prevents you from choosing healthy, nutritious foods. The natural anti-inflammatory state that comes with giving up sugar reduces depression, concentration and sleep deficit, as well as the typical inflammatory muscular aches and pains and fatigue that come with high carbohydrate and highly processed foods.

We’re here to help you overcome setbacks, celebrate victories, and maintain your healthy weight for the long term. This type of moral support and accountability makes it easier to stick to your weight management plan. You may also receive medications to fight hunger, which can get the better of you as you drop pounds. Plus, we can provide vitamin B-12 injections to potentially boost your metabolism throughout the weight loss process.

ony Sementi says it seems just like yesterday that he started Tile by Tony. He built a name for himself as one of the best tile layers in the greater Tulsa area. Today that reputation has expanded to all things related to home improvement, but the name has stuck.

The key to his success has been a passion for quality customer care and a standard of excellence for the work provided, and that standard begins the moment a customer contacts Tile by Tony.

“A lot of times, it’s all voicemail or ‘Text me.’ We don’t do that,” Sementi said. “You pick up the phone and you’ve got somebody.”

One of the core standards of Tile

by Tony is transparency. Sementi says it important they establish trust well before the labor begins.

“I like for people to know where the money is going, so we itemized every little thing on our bids. Don’t worry about that bottom number; let’s figure out how we got there. I like to be transparent and show you what you’re getting.”

No matter how many years Sementi has been in the business, he is personally invested in the work associated with his name.

“I supervise every job. I go around to every job, every day. Not because I need to check on my people, but I can see where we’re at.”

And that allows him to communicate well with his customers, another aspect of the business that Sementi values.

“We’re great at communication, and to me, that’s the most important thing. You can have the best people in the world, but if they don’t talk together and communicate, it’s not going to work.

Communication is everything.”

Tile by Tony is known throughout the region for specializing in kitchen and

bathrooms, but they do it all.

And they do it all extremely well, Sementi says. Over the years, he’s built a quality team and system that not only he can trust, but his customers can as well.

“Quality is not an accident; quality is a result of really good planning, execution and good materials. We think we bring all of that to the table.

“Here, it’s also a quality of people that we have. You’re going to have strangers in your house, people you don’t know. You have to have

a connection, and you have to feel good about them. You have to be comfortable leaving them in your house. We have worked awful hard to find people who care. We keep in mind we’re guests in someone’s home. You should leave at least as good if not better than the way you found it, and that’s what we try to do.”

While the business may have expanded since 1982, the commitment has never changed.

Transparency, communication and quality remain synonymous with

the people and the product of Tile

by Tony.

“Our saying has been to go above and beyond. It sounds cliché, but we try under-promise and overdeliver, and people appreciate it.”

Sementi said. “What’s really cool is people invite us back time and time again and that tells you you’re doing it right.”

s your driveway in need of a facelift? Are there unsightly cracks, chips and stains on your driveway degrading the overall look of your home? LCI Concrete specializes in driveway replacement and is the expert to call to get a fresh new look for the entrance to any residence.

“It’s amazing what a new driveway can do for the look of a home,” said Kalan Paul, Owner of LCI. “On an average house built in the ‘70s or ‘80s, it can take 20 years off the look of the house.” Kalan knows a great deal about curb appeal, with a personal background in real estate and new home construction. He has built a trusted name in concrete driveway repair and replacement with over 14 years in the business.

“I don’t think that anyone would lose money replacing a driveway,” said Kalan. “It can really add to the value of their home. It’s a good solid investment.”

The business philosophy at LCI focuses on three major points: customer satisfaction, quality workmanship and materials and speed of project completion.

“Most everyone in the business uses similar materials, but we try to stay at the top on quality at a minimal cost,” said Kalan. “Most projects can be completed in 1-2 days. We want to provide the most convenience possible for our customers.”

The right time to consider a driveway replacement can vary, but overall there are three essential attributes to look for.

Aesthetics – the overall look of the driveway for the need of replacement is usually the most significant factor.

Oil and other car fluid stains, peeling and cracks cannot only make the driveway look unattractive but can also progressively get worse, creating a hazard.

Functionality – Physical hazards, such as holes or cracks will not only cause damage to a vehicle, but can be dangerous to walk, play or ride a bike on.

Legal – An accident that takes place on your property can be a legal nightmare, and a hazardous driveway from a legal perspective could be a huge liability.

The show averages between 200 and 300 vendors and exhibitors.

The show is held inside the Claremore Expo Center’s Expo Hall, with some of the events taking place within the heated Indoor Arena.

“Out in the arena is where you’ll be seeing lawnmowers, various tractors, portable buildings, storm shelters, plant sales,” she said. “Currently, we’re planning to have the Rogers County Master Gardeners, Claremore FFA and Chelsea FFA making some plant sales for us, and we’re going to have a kid’s area, where children can get hands-on experience and learn about gardening. In the past, we’ve done some seed-planting, where the children can take home their little bunch of flowers in a cup, or they can paint birdhouses and take those home.

Catching Up Retirement Savings

By Arnold Beevers, CFPÂŽ, CFAÂŽ wealth advisor, RCB Bank

any Americans do not have adequate savings to cover them through their retirement years.

Federal Reserve 2017 Report on the Economic Well-Being of U.S. Households

You've heard the advice to start saving for retirement in your 20s to UHDS WKH PRVW EHQHĂ&#x20AC;WV 7KDW V DOO ZHOO and good if you're 20. What about if you're 40? Can you catch up?

With 20 years ahead of you before retirement, yes, time is still on your side to build up your savings.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crucial to plan a retirement income savings strategy that will provide adequate funds to cover you throughout your retirement years.

You need to consider: â&#x20AC;˘ Age you plan to retire â&#x20AC;˘ Retirement goals â&#x20AC;˘ Living expenses â&#x20AC;˘ Expected life span 7DON WR D Ă&#x20AC;QDQFLDO SURIHVVLRQDO \RX trust.

Good news is youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely making more money than before. It is time to put away as much as you can into your retirement savings accounts. â&#x20AC;˘ Increase 401(k) contributions to 10-15%. â&#x20AC;˘ Max out Roth IRA contributions. â&#x20AC;˘ Cut expenses where you can to save more.

Balance your debt.

Bad news is you are likely facing more debt than before with a mortgage, multiple car payments, student loans (for you or your kids) and possibly your parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s care.

SpringFest is a garden market and festival and is one of the major fundraisers for the Tulsa Garden Center, whose mission is to provide horticultural and environmental education opportunities as the horticultural headquarters of the Tulsa area.

SpringFest will be held at the Tulsa Garden Center Mansion, 2435 S. Peoria Ave. April 5-6 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. There will be a large variety of plants, gardening information, garden art, a kid’s zone and food and fun for the whole family.

Food trucks will be parked outside, and TW’s Catering will also be serving food inside the Mansion.

After shopping and grabbing a bite to eat, guests are encouraged to visit the rest of Woodward Park.

Take a stroll through the peaceful arboretum, the first one established in Tulsa back in 1964, or the historic Rose Garden, which is currently housing perennials and test roses since being affected by Rose Rosette Disease. Explore the Conservatory, a beautiful Victorian-style greenhouse, or the Linnaeus Teaching Garden, a state-of-the-art demonstration

ARUBAH COMMUNITY CLINIC Health Care for the Uninsured

BY DANIELLE STOLTZ

W

hen you walk into Arubah Community Clinic, there’s an immediate sense of hospitality, safety and community. Dozens of volunteers have worked hard to ensure each patient that comes for treatment feels right at home.

Founded in 2011, this free clinic sits in the heart of downtown Collinsville and is a labor of love from community leaders to anyone without insurance in need of medical assistance.

“One of the things that draws people here, even if they live closer to another free clinic, is

TULSA MARCH 2019

the unique atmosphere that we provide to our patients,” said Arubah’s executive director Gary Nunley. “They feel that genuine love and concern when they walk through the door.”

Funded entirely by private donations, the clinic is open every Monday and Thursday evening and the third Saturday of the month. Arubah draws more than 150 patients each month for medical assistance from not only Collinsville, but also surrounding areas, and it operates primarily through volunteers. That volunteer base includes medical doctors,

nurses, phlebotomists, X-ray technicians and receptionists.

“It’s the heart of the place that draws a lot of our volunteers here— the opportunity to do what many of us feel called to do at some level, to be of service, to make a difference in our community, and to be the hands and feet of God,” Nunley said.

This January, Arubah introduced a partnership with the Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences and College of Osteopathic Medicine, where second-year medical students serve at the clinic as part of the volunteer medical team. This semester, Arubah has

“We try to heal the whole person—physically, spiritually, mentally and emotionally. That’s the focus of everyone that comes in.” about 120 OSU medical students participating in the program.

“This is a great place for them to learn about community health and get some hands-on experience,” Nunley said. “We’re helping them; they’re helping us. It’s a great partnership. Everyone has been blessed by it, for sure.”

Working alongside local medical professionals, these students get real-world experience in an environment many of them have yet to see in their field of study.

“For a lot of them, this is their first opportunity to help a real patient,” Mallory Hamilton, the clinic’s volunteer coordinator. “This is really

teaching them to see all aspects and all the variables.”

Arubah clinical coordinator Susan Scott hopes they are making a lasting impact on these students, one they will remember long after they graduate and step into their profession.

“The big picture is that they have this need in the back of their head so when they become the professional they know there’s a need and think, ‘What can I do?’

‘How do we fix that problem?’”

Just weeks into the program, these medical students have not only gained knowledge and experience, but they have

adopted the same passion for the clinic and its patients as its volunteers and staff.

“We try to heal the whole person— physically, spiritually, mentally and emotionally. That’s the focus of everyone that comes in,” Hamilton said. “Everyone is so invested in every person that comes in with a sincere passion to help.”

DON’T CHOOSE A HEALTH COVERAGE PLAN...BUILD IT! Becky Brown is a Field Sales Leader for USHEALTH Advisors.

She offices in Tulsa and specializes in innovative life and health coverage solutions for selfemployed individuals, families, small business owners and their employees. “The health coverage plans we offer are quite unique.

Instead of presenting our clients with a selection of hard and fast plans and asking them to select the one which best fits their needs,” says Becky, “we ask our customers to tell us what they feel they need.

We then make recommendations and write a plan which addresses their concerns.

“Many customers begin with plan basics and add to it as their lives change over the years. Our plan designs are flexible to help you get

the coverage you need, when you need it…and at a premium you can afford.” As you grow older or conditions change, USHEALTH Advisors will assist you in choosing optional supplemental coverage to enhance your overall protection in areas including, for example, Critical Illness*, Accident*, Dental*, Accident Disability Income*, Life Insurance* and Vision Insurance*.

Becky and her expert team of advisors underwrite healthcare coverage through company subsidiaries, Freedom Life Insurance Company of America and National Foundation Life Insurance Company. “Our mission is the acronym H.O.P.E., Helping Other People Everyday,” she said.

Consultations are free and may be conducted by phone or in person.

Most businesses and individuals today are concerned by increasing healthcare costs. Becky’s confidence is in knowing that her organization is different

and that her team is innovative, experienced, dependable, dedicated and convenient to residents in the greater Tulsa area. When you call for information, you’ll be talking person-to-person rather than to a machine. “My goal,” continued Becky, “is to make your plan better than what you’ve previously had.

And if I can’t provide you with a better plan, I’ll tell you to stay where you are, give you advice or steer you to someone who I feel can help with the specific needs you’ve outlined.

“Please don’t let others tell you what you need. Tell me what you’re looking for and what will work for you. I’ll listen and write your policy to fill that need. As your needs grow, we can add to your original plan.” Call today to arrange for your personal consultation.

“My mom was battling breast cancer when I was only a teenager. I was in complete awe of how our local community took an active role in taking care of my family’s needs.”

Years later, she moved to Broken Arrow and became active in a church that asked her to describe her experiences and how fellow members could also extend a helping hand to those in need. Thus, so it began. Fifteen

The Route 66 Gurney Tourney, set to take place on the University of Tulsa campus May 11, puts competitors “head to head and bed to bed.” Each team garners donations, decorates their bed and sets off to compete against other teams. “It’s not just a race, “explains Toni. “We also have various obstacle courses along the way that bring awareness to many of the challenges patients endure during extended hospital stays.

The manner hypnosis is typically shown in movies, television and media is far from reality. It’s often portrayed as somewhere between magic and mysticism, but is actually neither. Hypnotherapy is largely accepted today as effective treatment by progressive hospitals and medical providers.

“It has taken centuries for medical hypnosis to regain credibility,” says Penn State psychology professor William Ray. “In the 1950s, reliable measures of hypnotizability were developed, which allowed this research field to gain validity.

We’ve seen more than 12,000 articles on hypnosis published since then in medical and psychological journals. Today, there’s general agreement that hypnosis can be an important part of treatment for some conditions, including phobias, addictions and chronic pain.”

From an article in the New York Times, “Numerous scientific studies have emerged in recent years showing that the hypnotized mind can exert a real and powerful effect on the body.

The new finds are leading major hospitals to try hypnosis to relieve pain and speed recovery in a variety of illnesses”.

Dr. David Spiegel, a Stanford professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford said, “I see hypnosis as a kind of app you haven’t used on your cellphone,” he said. “It’s got all kinds of capacity that people are just figuring out how to use, but if you haven’t used it, the phone doesn’t do that.”

It became a select magnet school, was renamed the Will Rogers College Junior High and High School and allows students who meet the entrance requirements to start in seventh grade, take college classes on campus, and graduate with both a diploma and college credit.

The Will Rogers High School Community Foundation enhances educational opportunities for Will Rogers students and empowers their teachers, families and the community through charitable contributions. According to Board Chairman Loretta Roberts, “The all-volunteer Foundation is a community organization, with Roper alums at its heart, but also including individual friends, businesses and other neighbors of the school who collectively have a mission to support the School, faculty, staff and students.

While the list of prior inductees into the Tulsa Will Rogers Hall of Fame is inspiring, by helping the School provide the best possible educational opportunities to its students, the Foundation is working to ensure there will continue to be equally inspiring future inductees.”

Working with the principal, Nicolette Dennis, the Foundation has provided a half-million dollars in academic grants and other support for the arts, athletics and various activities. The Foundation funds such necessities as classroom projects, student trips and science, music and art equipment. There’s now a waiting list to enroll in Tulsa Will Rogers, and the Foundation continues to promote “Will on the Hill” as Tulsa’s school of choice.

The Hall of Fame honors distinguished alumni as an inspiration to all Tulsa Will Rogers students. Past luminaries include NBA and NFL athletes, a Broadway actress, ground-breaking medical researchers and educational leaders, along with David Rader, State Senator and former TU head football coach, and Rodger Randle, former Tulsa Mayor and President Pro Tempore of the state Senate, who currently serves as the Chairman of the Hall of Fame Committee.
