here seems to be a misconception about honey glazed hams.

HoneyBaked Ham® is the only company that creates and sells HoneyBaked Hams. Period.

Harry J. Hoenselaar invented the spiral ham slicer in 1938, got a patent on it and tried to sell it in the ‘40s. Much to his chagrin, he could not generate interest in his invention. It’s said that people simply laughed and said, “Next time you’re going to be trying to sell us bottled water! “Disappointed, but not discouraged, Harry founded The HoneyBaked Ham Company in 1957. Today it is a premium food retailer with more than 400 stores nationwide and is currently in its third generation of values-driven, family ownership.

HoneyBaked Ham Co. and Cafe in Tulsa celebrated their opening in 2003 and Lee Griffin became the Owner/ Operator in 2010. The Tulsa store serves families, businesses

and organizations throughout the Tulsa Metro. Lee says, “Our mission is to celebrate life one meal at a time.

“The Company’s hams, turkeys and other specialty products are favorites across the country as superior holiday and special occasion choices and our customers choose from packaged product offerings or make their own selections for custom packages for family, friends and business associates.”

Lee says HoneyBaked’s 2014 Brand Health Tracker showed that Honey Baked remains the most preferred ham brand and ranks highest for perceived quality among other ham brands.

“We work hard to promote and maintain an environmentallyfriendly model throughout the supply chain and wherever we do business,” he adds.

HoneyBaked Hams has three facilities in the US that buy hogs from approved farmers in the Midwestern United States. These three facilities

make Honey Baked Hams and that’s all they do, adding quality and consistency to every product produced. Each Ham is hand-selected for leanness from premium grain-fed stock and each undergoes a 16-point inspection checklist. On average, for every ten hams inspected, only one is selected.

“Our hams are slow-cooked for 20-24 hours—two to three times longer than our competitors’ hams— using a unique blend of hardwood chips. They are then spiral-sliced to the bone so each tender, juicy slice is easy to serve. Honey Baked Hams are cured without adding extra water or juices,” says Lee. “A ham typically loses 10% in liquids during the cooking process and that’s all we add back into our hams before cooking to ensure that each cure is evenly distributed throughout our hams.

We’ve found that most producers add up to 30% more liquid weight prior to cooking making their hams actually weigh more NOVEMBER 2018 TULSA

after cooking than they did before.

Once sliced, each ham is individually hand-glazed within 24 hours by an expert master glazer who slowly adds layers of spices and pure cane sugar with a masterful touch. This creates the HoneyBaked signature of a sweet, crunchy glaze. Following glazing, each ham undergoes another 16-point inspection prior to approval for sale. A ham expert wraps each ham in the signature gold foil. “And Honey Baked Hams are never frozen,” adds Lee. The company is committed to procuring ham and turkey products using animals raised in North America and they insist on their proper handling and humane treatment. “HoneyBaked Ham products contain no added hormones and steroids.

Ingredients are printed on each product’s label and hams are always available. Each ham or turkey product is unwrapped and shown to the customer prior to purchase and systems are in place to get you in and out in 15 minutes or less…even during the holidays.

Quality assurance personnel are always onsite at the company’s processing plants. These plants and all retail stores also have frequent surprise audits and

Sign On for a Great Experience

BY ASHLEY WAITKUS

W

ords are powerful. Brandy and Richard Flewellen are on a mission to see powerful words beautifully displayed in the homes of Tulsans and the impact of their words and mission is immediately felt upon entering Vogue Wood and Brush Studio.

Their mission began in November 2017 when they received a phone call that changed their lives. That phone call led to the Flewellen’s fostering and then adopting baby Isaac.

Motivated by their newest addition, Brandy and Richard set out to open a business that would both allow them more time to invest in Isaac and inspire other Tulsans with powerful art. Vogue Wood and Brush Studio was birthed and officially opened in April 2018.

Vogue Wood and Brush Studio,

Tulsa’s Newest Paint and Sip Studio

Tulsa’s newest “paint and sip” studio, allows guests to enjoy a fun, relaxing evening with family or friends while sipping wine and creating “DIY Masterpieces”.

Why not have your holiday party and make great personalized gifts at Vogue? It is the perfect setting for both kids and adults parties, where you can create and craft gifts truly worth sharing. They can accommodate corporate events that appeal to both men and women.

“Our venue has everything you need to have an incredible time.

Everyone loves the fact that we

do all the prep work in advance so that your time here is fun and relaxing. It’s a no-pressure evening in which every single piece turns out perfectly,” said Brandy.

Brandy and Richard created a venue for families to have a great time but leave with something that means something to them, something that expresses their values and aspirations and inspires their families.

The site size will accommodate individuals to very large groups and is an ideal spot for large company groups, family reunions, date nights, team building events, sorority and fraternity mixers, bridal showers, girls night out, and children’s birthday parties, Vogue Wood and Brush Studio has something for every taste and style…the walls are decked with inspiration for those uncertain

about what they would like to paint. “Every person can paint something different. You aren’t stuck doing the same thing as everyone in your group. We do it like this because it is so much more fun and our patrons really love that about us,” explained Brandy.

The bar serves wine and beer, as well as nonalcoholic drinks, and snacks. Art templates can be picked out online or custom requests can made in advance. As guests arrive, they choose a drink and get comfortable at their table where their stencils and sign are already prepped and ready. Once patrons choose their colors from the paint bar consisting of over 50 choices, instructors walk them through each step of their work. By the end of each class, everyone goes home with a a smile on their face and a great piece of personalized art.

While “paint and sip” has an adult ring to it, children as young as 5 can join in on the fun while sipping a soda and painting custom signs or even canvas bags. Richard and Brandy take great joy in seeing children leave so proud of their work. Richard states “Children leaving feeling a sense of accomplishment and pride in their creative work is the most rewarding aspect”. The Studio even offers summer camps for children to engage their imagination and learn art in a comfortable, fun environment.

Brandy and Richard have created stencils for every season and also do custom stencils

upon request. From holiday to team sports designs, to an incredible collection of Christmas signs, the selection of artwork templates to choose from is endless. Once guests realize they don’t have to have the skills of Picasso to create stunning artwork, they want to come back time and again to create personalized gifts for loved ones or unique decor for their own homes.

While Vogue Wood and Brush Studio allows guests to create their own artwork in a fun environment while spending time with friends and family, the studio also provides the Flewellen’s unique ways to give back to their community. “Paint with a Purpose” events are held at the studio in which a portion of proceeds go to various non-profits. The studio has also donates inspirational wall art to area schools to inspire students and for Brandy and Richard, “inspiring a generation with powerful words” is really what it is all about.

There are still openings to schedule your next holiday event and parties. Open studio class times are Tuesday and Thursday at 6:00 p.m.; Friday and Saturday at 10:00 a.m., 3:00 p.m., and 7:00 p.m.; Sunday at 3 p.m. Visit their website and begin planning your event at https://voguewbstudio.com..

Time to Think About

Year-End Investment Moves THIS ARTICLE WAS WRITTEN BY EDWARD JONES FOR USE

BY YOUR LOCAL EDWARD JONES FINANCIAL ADVISOR.

W

e’ve still got a couple of months left in 2018, but it’s not too soon to start thinking about some year-end investment moves that might benefit you. Here are a few possibilities (although not all will apply to your situation): Add to your IRA. For the 2018 tax year, you can put up to $5,500 into your traditional or Roth IRA (assuming you are eligible), or $6,500 if you’re 50 or older. If you haven’t reached this limit, consider adding some money. You have until April 15, 2019, to contribute to your IRA for 2018, but why wait until the last minute?

Increase your 401(k) contributions. You already may be investing in your 401(k) or similar employer-sponsored retirement plan, but you might be able to bump up your contributions for the rest of the year, if it’s allowed. Of course, you should always put in enough to earn your employer’s matching contribution, if one is offered.

Take your RMDs. If you are 70½ or older, you must start taking withdrawals – called required minimum distributions, or RMDs – from your traditional IRA and your 401(k) or similar retirement plan.

Generally, you must take these RMDs

by December 31 every year. But if you turned 70½ in 2018, you can wait until April 1, 2019, until you take your first RMD. However, you will then have to take a second RMD (the one for age 71) by December 31, 2019. Taking two RMDs in one year could give you an unexpectedly large taxable income for the year, possibly bumping you into a higher tax bracket and affecting the amount of your Social Security benefits subject to taxes. So, if you are

18 |

VALUES

TULSA NOVEMBER 2018

considering delaying your first RMD, consult with your tax advisor.

Make changes in response to life events. In 2018, did you experience a major life event, such as a marriage, divorce or addition of a child? Or did you change jobs or retire? Any of these events could lead you to adjust your investment plans, so now may be the time to do so, possibly with the help of a financial professional.

Review your investment mix. At least once a year, it’s a good idea to review your investment mix to ensure it’s still suitable for your goals and risk tolerance. Sometimes, even without your taking any action, your portfolio might change in ways you hadn’t expected. For example, suppose you wanted your portfolio to contain 60% stocks and 40% bonds and other investments. After a period of rising prices, though, the value of your stocks may have increased so much that they now occupy 65% of your portfolio – which means you may be taking on more risk than you had originally intended. Consequently, you may need to rebalance your portfolio to get back to your original 60% to 40% ratios.

(Keep in mind that these figures are just for illustration; everyone’s ideal portfolio mix will depend on their individual situations.)

These aren’t the only year-end moves you may want to consider, but they can help you close out 2018 on a positive note. Plus, they can serve as a reminder that you need to be vigilant as you keep working toward your financial goals.

ituate just off Historic Route 66 ituated along Claremore’s main boulevard is restau a restaurant whose name is music to steak-lo any steak-lover’s ears – and taste buds.

S Since June 2018, Doe’s Eat Place has been satisfying newcomers and return customers with its steaks, tamales, seafood, and more, but for some, the locallyfranchised chain remains a yet-to-be discovered favorite – something that owner Betty Watowich wants to change.

“Business has been good – we’ve got some really good days and some days that could be better, but we’re wanting to change that and have only good days,” Watowich said. “Even though we’ve been open for a few months now, people are still just now learning that we’re here, so we’re hoping more people learn about us through word of mouth.”

Doe’s Eat House in Claremore boasts nearly 3,800 square feet with seating capacity starting at 125 in a split-level design, with a bar area upstairs, with work being done to complete a private dining area overlooking downtown Claremore.

Menu items include seafood, soups, chicken, and of course, steak.

The Porterhouse contains the familiar “T” shaped bone which separates the filet side of the steak from the strip, which is perfect for splitting.

“Feedback from the customers has been very positive – so many of them have told us that they’re glad there’s now a place like this in Claremore,” Watowich said. “I think of the restaurant as ‘casual fine dining’ – people can come in in their jeans

“If we’re having a slow night, we may close a bit early, but if we’re busy, we may stay open later than 9 p.m.,” she said. “It largely depends on how many customers we have on any given night.”

Reservations aren’t required, but “strongly encouraged” to ensure seating availability, Watowich said.

Proceed with CAUTION.

How to

Avoid Delays in your mortgage process

By Kenneth Wohl RCB Bank Mortgage

Obtaining a mortgage requires a lot of documentation, multiple forms, financial records, thirdparty paperwork; not to mention multiple layers of inspection to verify your information is accurate. Financial changes during your loan process can invalidate paperwork and delay your loan closing. Here are four ways to avoid loan processing setbacks.

No. 1: Inform lender of a job change ASAP. You submit paystubs and W2’s to your lender, but, right before closing, your lender may request employment verification from your employer. If your job or income status changes, this can potentially create a holdup in the loan process; or worse, your loan may be denied, even if you were pre-approved. A job change requires updated documentation and approval verification. Some jobs have a probationary period, which too may affect your loan approval process. If you are planning a job change, let your lender know as early as possible.

No. 2: Resist increasing debt.

A few days before closing, your lender runs a final credit check to check for new debt. If you open a new credit card, finance new appliances or furniture, buy a car, co-sign on another loan or take on more debt, new documentation is required. Resist the urge to make big purchases during your loan process. New debt may affect your loan qualification.

Invest in yourself

RCBbank.com/GetFit

No. 3: Avoid big financial changes.

Most lenders require up to two months of bank statements for proof of funds used for your home transaction. Changing banks during your loan process may cause a delay in obtaining the necessary statements. Moreover, any large deposits made into your account need explanation.

Most loans will allow a gift, but these funds require additional documentation signed by you and the person making the gift.

No. 4: Keep credit card balances low.

A large portion of your credit score reflects your credit utilization. Keeping credit card balances under 20 percent of your available balance helps your credit score. When it comes to your mortgage, your credit score helps determine both your interest rate and mortgage insurance (if required). A higher credit score helps you qualify for better rates, saving you money over the life of your loan.

Before you make major financial changes, talk to your lender first. This will help you avoid delays or setbacks during your mortgage process.

We are here to help even if you’re not an RCB Bank customer.

Connect with a local RCB Bank lender to get answers to your lending questions. Find one at RCBbank.com/location.

oliday shopping can be stressful. Canterbury Lane Interiors & Gifts, often affectionately known as “The Lane” is here to help.

Walking into Canterbury Lane is like walking into a dozen niche boutiques all at once. An expansive variety of gifts for every occasion is beautifully displayed within the four walls of the family-owned and operated shop.

With gifts for every imaginable occasion, Canterbury Lane strives to keep up with trends while maintaining timeless classics sure to delight every age. Gifts include holiday selections, baby shower gifts, hand made products, unique body scrubs and washes, candles, sorority themed items, jewelry, jams, and stunning home decor pieces sure to be a conversation stater in any home. Complimentary gift wrapping is a customer favorite, along with the unmatched customer service, drawing visitors back time and again.

For Allison and the staff at

Canterbury, each person who walks through the doors is more than a customer. Building connections with customers is one of their top priorities.

“We love getting to know our guests and we have repeat customers because they can count on always having a good experience in our store” says Allison. Customers feel as if their shopping trip at this family-owned store is more of a visit with friends while getting amazing, hard to find gifts. Visitors can find the perfect gift for loved ones, or stop in for a quick last minute shopping experience for a company holiday party.

Continuing their annual tradition, this delightful shop is inviting customers, old and new, to two holiday open houses. During the extended hour days, guests will be treated to storewide discounts, and delicious samples of holiday favorites

including holiday jam, red pepper jelly, and dessert sauces, and many other tasty gourmet goodies.

Big Town Fashion, Small Town Charm Photos by Chandler Branzell

BY ASHLEY WAITKUS

Opened in 2012, The District on Main has all the frills of an upscale, big city boutique perfectly paired with small-town charm.

Like its name, originally Nesting Necessities and Boutique, the store has evolved over the years until owner Cari Bohannon purchased the building across the street from the first location.

Built in 1909, the recently restored store has all the character and charm of a classic the smalltown main street, a feeling perfectly matched by the character and charm of Cari and her staff.

The comfortably laid back, yet upscale boutique serves as a one-stop shop for gifts and clothing for Claremore residents. Each item in the store is hand selected by Cari who thoughtfully evaluates each selection to ensure The District on Main is always stocked with a variety of both items and prices to match every taste and budget. Cari’s love for her customers is demonstrated in the on-going process of making sure she carries highly sought after brands which are not sold elsewhere in the town. Rather than making a drive to Tulsa or going through the mundane process of ordering online, Claremore residents can instead spend their afternoon being treated like family while purchasing Kendra Scott, Brighton, Tribal Sportswear, Hobo, Uncle Frank, Nora Fleming, and other brands exclusive to The District on Main in the Claremore area.

In addition to the unmatched variety and charm, what sets The District on Main apart from other boutiques is the equally unmatched customer service and dedication to the local community. From sending flowers to a customer after a surgery, to serving on committees at SafeNet and supporting Claremore High School pantry food drive, Cari uses the store as a platform for giving C ri Bohan Ca anno on, n, own wner er, er back to her community and fostering Dist Di stri st rict ri c on Ma Maiin in. friendships with her customers.

part of owning the store is waiting on customers and helping them “get out of their comfort zone and try new outfits they wouldn’t have thought to consider”. Her goal is for every customer to feel confident in their clothing and eliminate “buyers remorse” by investing her time and honesty into each customer as they shop and try on outfits.

While fashion is a primary purpose for customers returning time and again, the picturesque shop on Will Rogers Boulevard has an expansive variety of items in addition to clothing: jewelry, home decor,

Volcano brand candles and products, Finchberry vegan soaps, locally made goat milk soaps, novelty socks, and of course, a collection of both OU and OSU items sure to please fans.

More than just another store, The District on Main hosts events and participates with other community events. Upcoming special events include a November 8th “Girls Night Out” which is a quarterly event offering specials and will include a Holiday Open House this quarter.

On November 16th and 17th, the store will be participating in the annual Claremore “Dickens on the Boulevard” and will stay open late
