By Duane Blankenship Prairie Rose is a holiday retirement community located at 74th Street and Riverside in Tulsa, and is for anyone 55 years or older looking for an independent retirement lifestyle with everything included in one affordable monthly payment. “Our all-inclusive, monthto-month rental agreement truly simplifies everything,” said Manager Louis Shahin. Prairie Rose does not charge residents a buy-in fee or require anyone to sign a long-term lease; it’s all done on a month-to-month basis. You can move out whenever you choose with 30 days notice, but most of the residents at Prairie Rose choose to stay for years. The Prairie Rose management team consists of Managers Louis and Debbie Shahin, CoManagers Ken and Gina Hull, and Community Sales Leader Debby Blair. Each is a veteran in their field, and the entire staff

Stone Mill Manufactured Stone sprang to life at the beginning of 2009. In the past five years, the company’s manufacturing has outgrown existing facilities twice and has been forced to relocate to larger facilities, enabling coowners Susan Spring and Steve Koskey to increase product production and add a number of product options to their line. “It’s a great problem to have,” said Susan, “and we have been fortunate to find manufacturing space close by our main office and showroom on both occasions.” Stone Mill’s main office is
located at 15 E. 151st St. in Bixby, where they have beautiful indoor and outdoor showrooms. When you visit the showrooms or the location of a completed project, you immediately realize the company’s dedication to providing the highest quality products available in manufactured stone. Both showrooms are loaded with projects that depict the variety of products and the multitude of colors available in emulating real stone. Stone Mill can also match the color of any existing stone or manufactured stone if the customer wishes to add on to an existing setting or
duplicate a design in another area of their home or yard. Stone Mill’s innovative concrete building materials are designed to exceed customer expectations and add lasting value to any home or commercial project. “We don’t just make stone,” said Susan. “We manufacture pavers and other masonry pieces including wall caps, fireplace surrounds, and more.” The company also has custom mold capabilities. “We do a lot of residential work, both indoor and outdoor, for fireplaces,” said Rae Young.
