Go Where the Auction Is

Akira Sushi Is On a Roll

America’s Auto Auction wants to change the way you buy a car.

The Owasso sushi bar opened this year and offers a variety of delicious sushi and other food options.

By Duane Blankenship

By Lorrie Ward When Quinton Wong and Chef Huy Huynh decided to open a sushi bar, they considered Tulsa as a possible location. After all, they had worked together at Fuji Restaurant in Tulsa for 10 years. But when they saw that Tulsa had plenty of sushi bars already, they looked to outlying communities and decided that Owasso was the perfect place for Akira Sushi Bar. “Many people in the Owasso and Rogers County area were driving all the way to Tulsa for sushi,” says Wong. “And we liked Owasso – it is a nice, family-oriented community.” To show support for its new hometown, Akira Sushi Bar has already focused on several local charities and causes, such as “Turn Owasso Pink” for breast cancer research and the Garden Festival (to raise scholarship money). “We believe in community involvement,” says Wong. “It is our way of giving

back.” Akira Sushi Bar opened its doors in February of 2012, and Wong and Chef Huynh would

like to welcome both those who love sushi already and those who want to try it for the first time to (continued on page 22)

America’s Auto Auction of Tulsa provides a full spectrum of services to the public and to area automobile dealers in northeastern Oklahoma with two auctions each week. A public auction is held every Monday

evening beginning at 6 p.m. and a dealer-only auction is every Wednesday at 2 p.m. General Manager Monte Freeman says America’s Auto Auction is the only public auto auction (continued on page 22)

Lower Your Utility Bills Community Builders offers customers great suggestions for efficient home improvement.

Community Builders, Inc. President Greg Wolter founded the organization while working out of his home more than 30 years ago. The company does home remodeling throughout most of Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri. They are not general contractors, but rather specialize in work they know best and do really well. That includes energy-efficient vinyl siding and replacement windows, SmartCoat spray-on siding, GutterProUSA gutter guard systems, sunrooms that are second to none, and metal roof systems. According to Greg,

throughout their long history, Community Builders has impressed customers with their professionalism and dedication to customer service. “We’re grateful to be able to provide outstanding products and services to our clients and are thankful for the opportunity they’ve given us to earn their business,” he said. Now is a great time to be thinking about roofs. Greg says a common shingle has an average life expectancy of only seven years, and a quality, top-of-theline shingle should last about 11 years. Community Builders is

currently featuring metal shingles and stone-coated metal shingles that carry 50-year labor and materials warranties. Yes, they cost more than run-of-themill composite shingles, but compare the life expectancies. Greg says that most insurance companies also discount premiums on homeowner policies up to 35 percent for stone-coated or metal roofs. “When we install our metal roofing products, we put a layer of insulation under the roof that should save customers money on both their heating and cooling (continued on page 22)

ASK THE MONEY MAVEN STRAIGHT-FORWARD, NO-NONSENSE TALK ABOUT YOUR MONEY

To Hell in a Hand Basket BY MELANIE HASTY-GRANT

The Stock Market has suffered twenty-four major downturns of greater than 3% since 2004. In 2008, it dropped by more than 50% in the worst recession the United States has ever experienced since the Great Depression. All the while, many Americans watched while their retirement savings disappeared before their very eyes. Not only has there been an emotional toll from the breach of confidence in the system but also major breaches of trust with several big banks collapsing, financial and corporate bail outs, and corruption of government. All together this has caused a crisis of confidence manifesting itself in what I call Post Traumatic Market Disorder. This (fictional but accurate) PTMD diagnosis is a specific anxiety disorder affecting individuals who have experienced profound stress and emotional trauma caused by the volatility in the markets. It is characterized by an overall mistrust of the markets and anyone involved with them, recurrent flashbacks, anxiety, fear, paralysis, and anger. To aggravate this disorder, we can also add the pending Presidential election….which emphasizes the negativity, divisiveness, and sets an overall cynical and pessimistic tone. Hear me! If the world is going to hell in a hand basket…then my advice is to sell hand baskets! The key to being successful in investing is to find the opportunity, not the problem. We are STILL America! We are still the most creative, innovative, productive country in the world.

don’t watch it, you will be broke to boot. You have to focus on what’s in front of you, not what’s behind you. You must be committed to finding solutions and alternatives, not dwelling on the past. If you focus on the pickle you’re in, you will continue to be in the pickle you’re in. If you focus on the wall you’re about to hit, that is certainly where you will end up. Focus on where you want to go and steer in that direction. Here are some steps to get un-stuck: Millions of businesses all over our great country are still alive and kicking, making money, and paying salaries. We have had some tough years. Things have happened that aren’t right or fair. We have had some bad eggs in the mix. We are still the land of opportunity. Opportunities come with set backs and disappointments. They do not present themselves on silver platters. We have to be creative, hardworking, and persevere. Necessity IS the Mother of Invention! Dealing with problems and challenges encourages creative efforts to meet the need and resolve it. The greatest American inventions (from light bulbs, to penicillin, to microwave ovens, to computers, cell phones, GPS, the internet, and facebook) have come from focusing on opportunities and finding solutions to problems and NEVER giving up! One thing I know for sure, if you choose to focus on the negative, dwell on the problems, entrench yourself amongst the obstacles, then my friends you will stay stuck! You will stay miserable. And if you

1.) Decide WHAT you want. (Be specific!) 2.) Decide WHY you want it. (The emotion behind why you want what you want) 3.) Make a plan of action and take steps toward it everyday. When it comes to financial goals, don’t be afraid to pay for help. It could be your best investment. 4) Stay focused. When trouble and fear arise (and they will), stay focused on where you want to go and steer that way. Do not focus on the fear. Remember, the past doesn’t define you, it prepares you! Who you trust matters. For more information go to www.waterstonewealth.com or call 918-272-1120.

BBuilt to Be the Best

Heritage Shingles are standard. Metal drip edges are also standard on roofs. Metal roofs are optional and offer a choice of 16 colors along with a 40-year manufacturer warranty. “We sell the best carports, the best portable buildings, and the best pole barns available,” says Carl. “If you check us out with the Better Business Bureau, you’ll find that we’ve never had a complaint filed against us.” In this day and age, that’s pretty remarkable. You can see quality samples of all the products built and offered by Inola Portable Buildings & Pole Barns at the Tulsa State Fair, the Tulsa Home Builders Home & Garden Show, and the House Beautiful Show, all held each year at Tulsa’s Expo Square. Check online at www.inolaportablebuildings.com to see the full assortment of quality products and services offered by Inola Portable Buildings & Pole Barns. Or call or stop by and visit the show lot. Carl will be waiting for you to answer your questions and give you a guided tour around the outdoor showroom.

Inola Portable Buildings & Pole Barns has been serving northeastern Oklahoma for 14 years.

By Duane Blankenship Inola Portable Buildings & Pole Barns owner Carl Parson built carports, buildings and pole barns for the past 14 years. His business has been located just east of Inola on the north side of Highway 412 since its inception. Carl has been in the construction business for 35 years, starting with the construction department with the State of Oklahoma when he was still a very young man. Carl is assisted in the business today by his son, Brad Parson, and his son-in-law, Cassidy Benner. Inola Portable Buildings & Pole Barns always has more than 50 displays on their lot, affording customers a plethora of ideas to choose from. You will see portable buildings used as storage sheds, lawn equipment storage areas, pool-side bath houses, workshops, and even cute little cottages for when you’re getting away for a quiet weekend. There are standard plans and models to choose from, or you may do a little or a lot of customizing to any basic style that catches your eye. You may also opt to have your project built on site, or Inola Portable Buildings will build and deliver it to you. It’s your choice, and the cost is the same either way.

Carl Parson with a pole barn under construction by Inola Portable Buildings & Pole Barns. You’ll find 10 different Eagle Carports displayed on the Inola Portable Buildings lot. Examples include standard carports, combo carports with storage areas, garages and barns. All metal construction is of either 14- or 12-gauge steel. A 20-year limited warranty is provided on roofing materials for both gauge units, and there are 13 colors options.

“All wood beneath the floor, including floor joists and skids, is treated lumber. Floors joists and wall studs are placed on 16inch centers.” You can compare metal and wood pole barns on display at the show lot. Smart Panel Siding and Smart Trim are used in the manufacturing of most of the portable buildings made by Carl’s company, and they both

carry a 25-year factory warranty. Both products are made by Louisiana Pacific and are insect and termite resistant. Forty-year treated skids are standard, as is three-quarter-inch tongue and groove flooring. You have the option of single or double doors. All studs are stud grade, 30pound felt paper (a vapor barrier) is placed between the roof and shingles, and 30-year

TThis Festival’s a Peach The 46th annual Porter Peach Festival is July 19-21, 2012.

By Sheryl Sowell Imagine biting into a juicy, delicious peach – heavenly, isn’t it? If you love the sweet taste of fresh peaches, downtown Porter, Oklahoma is the place to be July 19-21. The 46th annual Porter Peach Festival will offer lots of good old-fashioned fun and games, carnival rides, live entertainment, food vendors, and bushels of scrumptious peaches. The event kicks off Thursday, July 19 at 4 p.m. Long-time festival chairman Roy Essary will welcome the crowd with a prayer and an overview of the schedule of events. Next up is the annual Peach Pageant, in which the lovely contestants compete for the titles of Miss Peach, Miss Peach Blossom and Miss Peach Bud. The pageant will be followed by live entertainment until 11 p.m. The Southern States Show Carnival, taking place throughout the festival, will be open that evening also. The festival resumes Friday at 11 a.m. with arts and crafts booths, food vendors, and an antique tractor pull. At 5 p.m. will be a live newscast, along with the start of the traditional street games, including a turtle race, frog-jumping contest, nail drive and balloon toss. The Pet

Show begins at 5:45 p.m., and prizes will be awarded to the ugliest dog, best trick, best costume, fattest cat and most unusual pet. The day will also have a full entertainment lineup.

The day also includes the Classic Car Show, a peach cobbler contest, mud races, a parade and a peach auction. In conjunction with the festival, Saturday is also Play Night at the Porter

the activities of the Porter Lions Club.” The Lions Club has sponsored the Peach Festival since its inception in 1966. Each year the civic group gives scholarships to high school

1 p.m. on Saturday, when everyone is welcome to enjoy free peaches and ice cream donated by Livesay Orchards, while supplies last. Saturday will include more great live entertainment, street games, another tractor pull, a scavenger hunt, and a very popular part of the event, the evening talent contest. “People come from several states to the Porter Peach Festival – last year we had about 20,000 people. It is one of the largest small-town festivals in the state,” says Roy. “It gives everyone the opportunity to have fun and let their hair down, listen to music, and eat peaches and ice cream in a low-key, down-home atmosphere. And it doesn’t cost a lot of money. If a family can’t afford to take a vacation to Disneyworld or go on a cruise, they can go to the festival and still have a really great time together.”

Enjoy savory peaches and so much more at the annual Porter Peach Festival. The final day of the festival, Saturday, July 21, will be filled to the brim with activities. At 7 a.m. is the 5K Run, sponsored by the Porter FFA and Booster Club. Entry forms are available at www.porterpeachfestivals.com.

Roundup Club. Beginning at noon Saturday is the peach auction. “The peaches are donated by Livesay Orchards. Last year we raised $17,000 from the auction,” says Roy. “The money is used to fund

seniors, provides eyeglasses to individuals in the community, sponsors area youth programs, and funds local beautification projects. Perhaps one of the best parts of the festival occurs at

MAKEOVER

After child birth, many women lose some of the volume and firmness of their breast tissue. Dr. Kent recommends either a breast augmentation, a breast lift or a combination of the two, mastopexy-augmentation.

Having children is one of life’s greatest joys, but pregnancy and breast feeding cause massive changes in a woman’s body that are sometimes hard to reverse.

Pregnancy can also wreak havoc on the abdominal wall, stretching the muscles and the skin. Add stretch marks to this and you have the typical post-pregnancy abdomen. A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, treats all of these problems, helping to restore your pre-pregnancy appearance or, in some cases, improve upon it. Often, Dr. Kent can combine breast and abdomen procedures in the same surgery with dramatic results. Please contact our practice today to schedule a Mommy Makeover consultation.

LLandscape for the Cure Lawns By Nature is celebrating 15 years in business by donating a portion of their proceeds to Susan G. Komen For the Cure. By Sheryl Sowell Lawns By Nature owner Andrew Martin is excited to be celebrating his company’s 15th anniversary this year. Andrew and his team have provided excellent lawn and landscape management services to area residents since 1997. Many have become repeat customers, and even close friends. To celebrate Lawns By Nature’s years of service to the Tulsa metropolitan community, Andrew is giving everyone a 15 percent option. Customers may either receive 15 percent off their bill, or Andrew will donate 15 percent to “the Cure.” Andrew’s mother and aunt are both breast cancer survivors, and he has family members who have passed away from the disease. “Breast cancer awareness and research is very near to my heart, and I am so grateful to be able to donate a portion of the company’s proceeds to Susan G. Komen For the Cure,” he says. Andrew’s company has always been people-focused. “Whether your home is worth $20,000 or $4 million, we take pride in giving every single one

of our customers the best service possible,” he says. “We are complete and thorough with all our jobs, and we welcome meticulous customers with high expectations. Our work is truly our best form of advertising.” The company specializes in landscape design and management and tree services, and provides many other services as well. Customers always deal directly with the owner. “I speak with every client personally. We also have a great loyal crew that really knows what they’re doing. They’ve been with Lawns By Nature for up to 13 years.” The business philosophy of loyalty applies to customers as well. “We work hard to build a trust with our clients. Communication with them is our top priority,” says Andrew. “We don’t lose accounts. We make sure that once you’ve worked with us, you are 100 percent satisfied and want to continue using our services.” Now is the perfect time to beautify your outside space with flower installation and landscape design. “We offer multiple types

of flowers, and we deal directly with the growers,” says Andrew. If storms cause damage to your trees, Lawns By Nature offers advantages over tree companies. “Because we’re a full landscape company that offers tree services, we are able to offer landscape maintenance with our proposal regarding tree work.” This time of year is filled with celebrations. If you’re planning a summer blowout, baby or bridal shower, or wedding reception at your home, Lawns By Nature can do a complete cleanup of your yard. “We call this ‘Weed Pull-N,’ Okie talk for landscape cleanup.” Andrew has been doing landscaping since he was 12 years old. His company’s goal is to continuously raise the bar on service in the landscape industry. “We want our work to always exceed our customers’ expectations,” says Andrew. “We don’t believe in competition – we believe in outdoing our personal best every time.” Lawns By Nature’s landscaping services include design, installation, mainte-

Lawns By Nature owner Andrew Martin. nance, soil cultivation, mulching, and the addition of seasonal flowers, flower pots and arrangements. They offer commercial mowing services, leaf removal, debris hauling, and tree trimming, pruning and removal. They also do retaining walls, boulderscape, hardscape, concrete sidewalks, porches and driveways, French drains, and sprinkler repair. Lawns By Nature services both commercial and residential properties, and they work by the job, by the visit, or with a yearly contract. “We work with homeowner and property owner associations, large and small apartments, and we love to work with churches,” adds Andrew. Maybe you’re unsure about hiring a landscape company because you think you can’t

afford it. “Give us a call. Don’t assume that because our services are so diversified that we’re not competitively priced. We’re eager to earn your business,” says Andrew. Lawns By Nature has an excellent A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. You can see samples of their work at www.lawnsbynature.com. Lawns By Nature now accepts Visa, MasterCard and Discover. When you visit with Andrew, don’t forget to congratulate him on his baby girl due in August!

RRock and Mineral Show Is a Real Gem Tulsa Rock and Mineral Society’s “Rockhound Treasures Show” will be held July 14-15, 2012 at Expo Square in Tulsa.

By Sheryl Sowell Vivid colors, stunning shapes and intricate designs are often the foundation for the most beautiful and moving artwork. If you’ve never truly experienced the breathtaking natural art of rocks, minerals and gemstones, mark your calendar now for the “Rockhound Treasures Show,” July 14-15 in Exchange Center 1 at Tulsa Expo Square. The show is presented by the Tulsa Rock and Mineral Society (TRMS). Tulsa Rock and Mineral Society craftspeople will be flint knapping, cutting and polishing rocks, beading, wire wrapping, and demonstrating other lapidary techniques. Many club members will be exhibiting their collections of fossils, rocks and minerals, gemstones, and finished crafted pieces, along with educational exhibits from across the Midwest. Twenty vendors will offer finished jewelry as well as equipment and supplies, beads and other items. A silent auction and hourly door prizes will be ongoing throughout both days. Show hours are 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday, July 14 and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, July 15. Admission is $6 for adults,

ages 12 and under free. “This is an event you won’t want to miss, with spectacular natural art to view and purchase,” says TRMS member Kay Waterman. Tulsa Rock and Mineral Society began in 1958 as an educational non-profit organization. The club promotes interest in collecting rocks, minerals,

fossils and artifacts, working with the lapidary arts, and sharing knowledge about the earth sciences. TRMS awards an annual earth sciences scholarship and supports local schools with hands-on rock and fossil programs. Members enjoy classes at the club workshop, including the faceting classes taught by

Roger Bush, director and curator of Elsing Museum: God’s Natural Art Museum, holds a meteor rock with Paulino and Julia Allende, long-time members of the Tulsa Rock and Mineral Society.

Elmer Kitchell, a club member who has been faceting gemstones for more than 40 years. TRMS also hosts weekend collecting and educational field trips. Monthly meetings are held at the Central Library downtown. For more information, see the club website at www.ttownrockhound.org. The Rock and Mineral Show is the group’s premiere event, held annually to showcase their unusual fossil and mineral displays and sell products relating to their hobby. TRMS will also offer educational programs at the show, as well as a free hands-on earth science project area for kids. TRMS’s main headquarters is the Elsing Museum at Oral Roberts University, a hidden gem in itself. “Visiting the Elsing Museum: God’s Natural Art Museum is a unique experience for exploring fascinating specimens that provide a glimpse into the past and information about the foundations of this world we inhabit,” says Roger Bush, museum director and curator. The museum comprises an extensively rare collection – over 3,000 samples of some of the world’s most amazing gems,

minerals, natural art, petrified wood, Indian artifacts, oriental artifacts, and so much more. “Part of our collection contains minerals and rocks that were found in the Tri-State Mines. These mines are now closed, which makes visiting this museum a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” says Roger. Guided tours are offered for groups as well as for individual visits. The museum serves as an excellent supplement for classroom studies in geology, earth sciences and other related subjects. Museum hours are Wednesday through Saturday from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Admission is free, but donations are greatly appreciated. To view a spectacular display of “God’s Natural Art,” be sure to attend the Tulsa Rock and Mineral Society’s “Rockhound Treasures Show,” July 14-15 at Expo Square. For more information, contact

22012 Fireworks Flashier and Safer The Castle of Muskogee offers 37,000 square feet of high-quality fireworks.

Guidelines for Fireworks Safety

By Renee Profitt The Castle of Muskogee, Oklahoma’s 37,000-square-foot fireworks showroom keeps working to improve everyone’s enjoyment on the Fourth. Although the Castle of Muskogee has always guaranteed all fireworks to light, the new, higher quality means no disappointments on the Fourth. “A new ‘look’ in fireworks for 2012 is the ‘jellyfish’ effect, which is inspired by the Time Bandit – Deadliest Catch show,” says Matt Hiller, vice president of the Castle. “Basically, the aerial displays feature jiggly ‘tentacles’ tracing sparks across the sky – it’s a spectacular display!” For better safety, the Castle joined the American Fireworks Standards Laboratory several years ago. AFSL is an independent testing organization that inspects fireworks before they leave China to assure safety. All fireworks, of course, must also pass inspection by the Consumer Product Safety Commission once they get to the United States. The new inspections procedures have resulted in a dramatic decrease in fireworks-related incidents in the U.S., even though fireworks imports have increased by many tons!

The quantity and selection this year at the Castle must be seen to be believed: imagine a football field covered with fireworks as high as you can reach

all under one roof, and you’ll get an idea of what awaits you in Muskogee. The Castle, of course, is air conditioned, with accessible restrooms and plenty

DDouble Play on Knee Pain A local Division II umpire hit a “home run” with two knee replacement surgeries from Dr. LaButti. By Duane Blankenship George Dudasko always had a passion for baseball. As a young adult, he umpired little league games and then graduated up the ranks to become a Division II college baseball umpire. Because of pain in both knees and resulting physical limitations, George gave up umpiring 15 years ago. In 2006, George began researching knee replacement surgery. He visited with several sports contacts and then read an article about knee replacement surgeries performed by Dr. Ronald S. LaButti. He made an appointment with the doctor in 2007. After evaluation, Dr. LaButti recommended replacement surgery for both of George’s knees. His right knee was the worst, having been boneon-bone for seven years. Dr. LaButti told George, “Let me know when the pain becomes unbearable and when you can make time for the surgery and recommended recovery period.” George was born bowlegged, his right leg being the worse of the two. He loved sports and had participated in football, wrestling, and baseball since youth. “The knee pains became constant and more intense. It was sheer agony

climbing stairs,” said George. “Even crossing a busy street, I had to carefully plan ahead, calculating the flow of traffic because my walking pace had become very slow and agonizing. I couldn’t even sit naturally because of the intense pain.” As a project engineer and always on the go, George found it difficult planning a time convenient for surgery and rehabilitation. However, while in transit between job functions, George was able to schedule surgery with Dr. LaButti to replace his right knee in June of 2010. Dr. LaButti asked George what his goals and expectations were following surgery and without hesitation George responded, “To again be able to umpire at the Division II level.” Surgery on George’s right knee went extremely well. He did home therapy for four weeks and outpatient therapy for another four weeks. At the first meeting with his assigned therapist, George was asked again what he expected to be doing after rehab. After relating his umpiring goal, his therapist did her homework by watching baseball games on TV to assess the physical require-

ments of umpires. She then custom tailored a rehabilitation program for George. “Therapy sessions were painful,” he said, “but at the conclusion of each one, I felt great seeing the progress I was making.” After only six weeks following surgery, George was released to go back to work. George had his second knee replacement surgery on his left knee in September, 2010. An interesting sidebar from his surgeries: Dr. LaButti straightened both legs during surgery. After the right leg was corrected, it was one-half inch longer than the left, and George was fitted with a lift for his left shoe. When the left knee was replaced, that leg was also straightened and made equal in length to the right leg. Having walked “duck footed” for most of his life, both of George’s feet now point forward and he is no longer bowlegged. He is also one-half inch taller than he has ever been in his life! In less than six months after his second knee surgery, George was again umpiring Division II baseball. Last year, he umpired over 300 games in the Midwest and Florida. In March of this year, he headed back to Florida

George Dudasko’s goal was to become physically able to resume duties as a Division II umpire. After two successful knee replacements by Dr. LaButti, George is back on the diamond. for two weeks of umpiring during college baseball spring training.

LLow-Cost Healthcare Grassroots Healthcare provides medical services at an affordable cost for those without insurance. By Lorrie Ward Sometimes to deal with a problem, you have to go right to the root of things. That’s why Dr. Melita Tate expresses this desire for the future of healthcare in America: “I would love a few years from now for the history books to show that patients and doctors joined together and solved the medical problems without the government or insurance companies.” This vision of Dr. Tate’s didn’t materialize by accident. Over the years, she has witnessed the mountains of red tape involved between doctors, patients, insurance companies and the government. And just as uncoiled tape tangles together into a big, time-consuming mess, so has this situation. “Doctors can’t get to patients anymore,” says Dr. Tate, “because the doctor has to spend so much time on things like insurance codes, which differ from company to company and are changed all the time.” Because of all these complications, Dr. Tate explains that medical costs also go up because doctors have to hire so much extra staff to deal with billing and insurance issues. That’s why Grassroots

Healthcare keeps it simple, with affordable fees which are posted up front and are due at time of service. “We want to keep our healthcare facility free from government and insurance influence,” she says. “This helps us keep prices far lower.” To illustrate just how much lower, Dr. Tate recalls a situation in which she sent a patient to have lab work done at a place used by other doctors as well. Grassroots charged its usual low

fee for the lab work, which took care of all costs involved for both Grassroots and the lab company. Somehow, though, the patient’s insurance company was accidentally billed by the lab for the procedure and a detailed statement was sent to the patient. The matter was rectified quickly, and neither he nor the insurance company had to pay any further costs. However, both Dr. Tate and the patient were amazed by how all the channels

Karolyne Velazquez, Dr. Melita Tate and Cherelle Allen welcome patients to Grassroots Healthcare.

Grassroots Healthcare is conveniently located at 91st Street and Sheridan in Tulsa. that would have been involved with an insurance payment had increased the cost of the lab work dramatically: the price went from $60 to $400. CT scans are another important service that can be obtained at Grassroots, at a cost of $150, a price which Dr. Tate describes as “extremely affordable.” The services at Grassroots Healthcare include, and extend well beyond, emergency services such as sutures and abscess drainage. Dr. Tate is board certified in both pediatrics and internal medicine, which includes more complicated problems such as diabetes, coronary artery disease and other heart problems, and emphysema. “A lot of people hear the word ‘pediatrics’ and stop there,” says Dr. Tate. “But we treat both grownups and little people.”

On May 7, Grassroots Healthcare celebrated its one year anniversary, and Dr. Tate says response to their type of service has grown recently. “I had a physician friend in Texas who opened this kind of clinic and was very happy with it, so we decided to give it a try,” she says. “I love what I’m doing here. I never look at the clock at the end of the day and think, ‘I have this much time before I get to go home.’ I have great job satisfaction, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.”

the Right Key CCamp to Success The Oklahoma Jazz Camp takes place July 9-13 at the University of Tulsa. By Lorrie Ward The Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame and the University of Tulsa are once again joining forces to present Oklahoma Jazz Camp, a week-long day camp held Monday, July 9 through Friday, July 13 and culminating in a 3 p.m. showcase concert on Saturday, July 14. The camp is for instrumental and vocal music students ranging in age from ninth grade through college and in all levels of musical experience and skill, and will be held on campus at the University of Tulsa. This is the third year for the camp, which was started by Professor Vernon Howard at TU when he retired from summer teaching at the Interlochen Center for the Arts in Interlochen, Michigan. “Between 1975 and 2009, I served as director of jazz studies at Interlochen and recognized the value of offering a specialized camp for gifted and focused students,” says Howard. “Many of my former Interlochen students have gone on to forge successful performing and teaching careers,

including Byron Stripling, lead trumpet with Count Basie Orchestra; Conrad Herwig, trombonist and leader of the Mingus Big Band as well as the director of jazz studies at Rutgers University; Tim Ries, saxophonist with the Rolling Stones; Walter White, trumpeter with Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra; Eldar Djangirov, jazz pianist and Sony recording artist; and Norah Jones, Grammy Award winning singer, pianist and songwriter.” Coweta vocalist Sarah Richardson is a veteran of Oklahoma Jazz Camp. She studied jazz composition for a year after attending the camp and then went on to earn a music major scholarship at TU. Sarah has her own band, performs professionally in jazz clubs, concerts, and at private functions in the Tulsa area. “She is recognized as being one of the most talented and versatile singing talents to come out of the Tulsa metro area in years,” says Howard. “I am very proud of her and excited about the

prospects for her blossoming professional career.” Sarah was among the original 30 students enrolled the first year of Oklahoma Jazz Camp. The number increased to 45 the second summer as word got around. This year, Howard expects at least 50 to 60 students and has added three new faculty positions, as well as additional staff for counseling and teaching, in anticipation of this number. A new class, “Blues Exploration,” has been added to the curriculum this year as well, and will explore the blues and its many styles. Howard is excited to be able to once again work with the Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame to offer this great learning experience for budding artists. “I enjoy the entire process of designing the camp curriculum, talking with prospective students, selecting music, teaching classes and directing the final showcase concert,” he says. “The great reward comes after years have passed and you can look back and see that the camp

Akira Sushi Is On a Roll visit Akira Sushi Bar at 9455 N. Owasso Expy., Ste. E and experience the relaxed, contemporary atmosphere and expertly prepared cuisine. “Expertly prepared” are two especially important words when it comes to sushi, according to Chef Huynh. “Most people don’t know that there are many levels of quality when it comes to purchasing fish,” says Huynh, who has been making sushi since 2000. “And since our customers are consuming raw fish, we really focus our attention on quality.” In addition to fish quality, Chef Huynh adds that good sushi is also about presentation. “We pay attention to detail,” he says. “We want to make the food look as good as it tastes.” Along with a wide variety of sushi choices, Akira Sushi Bar’s large menu includes appetizers, salads, soups, and cooked

chicken, steak and seafood. A quick lunch menu is available for those in a hurry, and sushi party trays are also available. Those who dine in will enjoy a comfortable, cozy and clean atmosphere, with seating available in a quiet booth area, a more social open arena, or the sushi bar itself, where they can watch a game on the overhead television or observe as Chef Huynh and staff prepare their order. Chef Huynh has no problem with being watched as he makes the food. “People find it interesting to watch,” he says. “And it motivates even better and cleaner techniques.” Wine, saki and beer are on hand at the bar, and Akira Sushi Bar will soon be serving cocktail style drinks as well. Wong and Huynh encourage people to visit the website at www.akirasushibars.com to view

continued from page 1 a more extensive menu, and they have asked customers to find them on Facebook for daily specials and happy hours. Even if you have seen the extensive menu, Wong and Chef Huynh want you to know you are still never locked into previously planned choices. “Customers can come in and visit with the chef and have us put together what they want. Don’t be afraid to be creative.”

Go Where the Auction Is remaining in this part of the state. The company has been conducting weekly auctions in Tulsa since the early 1960s, and the public auction has been running for the past 15 years. “Moving the public auction from Saturday mornings to Monday evenings has provided an increase in the number of vehicles sold each week as well as enabled us to upgrade the quality of vehicles we feature in our auctions,” said Monte. Bilingual help is always available on the lot and in the auction barn, and America’s Auto Auction provides a great opportunity to buy pre-owned cars and trucks at wholesale prices. Approximately 150 to 200 vehicles go on the auction

block each Monday evening, and you will see all makes and models. Many vehicles are sold with no reserve, and prices range from $500 and up. The experienced staff at America’s Auto Auction helps set you at ease, making it an easy process to buy or sell a vehicle. If you’ve never been to one of the auctions, Monte invites you to go online to the website, www.americasautoauction.com, and click on “public auctions” for a preview list of the vehicles being offered each Monday evening. You will also be able to review the step-by-step process, which shows you how simple it really is to buy or sell a vehicle. Information is presented in both English and Spanish. You may

continued from page 1 also visit the lot on any Monday after 1 p.m. to view vehicles that will be auctioned. You will not be able to drive them at that time, but you will be able to start them to see that everything is working properly or see if a vehicle might need some work or attention. If you’re selling a vehicle, you’ll be glad to know that payment will be made to you the next working day if your vehicle has sold at auction. There are two ways to sell or buy a car. If the seller places a vehicle on the “red light,” it will be sold “as is.” The vehicle is sold with no warranty, no guaranties. If the seller places a vehicle on the “green light,” it will be sold with the assurance that the engine, transmission, and rear end are in working order, and you

will have the opportunity to drive the vehicle before leaving the grounds. Every vehicle is posted with a minimum bid price. Again, you may call or stop by America’s Auto Auction, or visit online, for step-by-step details instructing you how to buy or sell a vehicle. Cars arrive for each Monday’s auction right up until the 6 p.m. announcement that the auction is beginning. Therefore, the largest selection of vehicles can be seen just prior to starting time. A video is shown in the lobby for the benefit of both English and Spanish speaking patrons. It’s not just any auction – it’s America’s Auto Auction. “We understand how important it is to

Lower Your Utility Bills utility bills,” he explained. When asked by customers how long he thinks a metal roof will really last, Greg answers, “I don’t know. We’ve only been in business for 30 years!” You’ll definitely want to check out Community Builders’ metal roof deals that will save you money on installation. You’ll also receive a Green Energy Barrier installed that employs advanced space age technology. With the Energy Barrier, Greg says customers can expect to save from 20 to 40 percent on cooling bills and a little less on heating. Community also offers 12 months “same as cash” or easy low payment plans to suit you and your budget. “When you install a traditional shingle to your home, it does nothing to improve the home’s value,” says Greg. “With Community Builders’ metal or stone-coated metal shingles, your home’s value

our customers that they receive excellent customer service whether buying or selling a car,” says Monte. “We want to end every day believing that we have done our very best to satisfy each customer before they leave the America’s Auto Auction facility. Our entire staff is dedicated to making it happen.”

AAffordable Family Fun Budget-conscious families are investing in RVs for exciting yet affordable vacations. By Lorrie Ward Often during tough economic times, such as the country has experienced in recent years, vacation dollars are one of the first things to be slashed from the family budget. But why get rid of vacations altogether when you can simply make them more affordable, sacrificing much of the cost and none of the fun? All over America, people are finding the answer to this question by joining the evergrowing number of RV owners and taking the family vacation back, one mile at a time. That’s why Dave Pierce, owner of Dave’s Claremore RV, reports that not only has his business grown over the last three decades to be the largest RV dealer in the state, but he expects this year to generate his largest revenues ever. “That’s pretty incredible considering the economy,” says Dave, who cites both the ease of RV travel and the lower cost versus other types of vacation lodging and entertainment as reasons for this explosive growth. With airlines tightening security and increasing baggage cost, Dave reports that people are “turned off” by that type of

travel right now. However, people are valuing quality time with their families more than ever before. “People like long holidays, and the RV lifestyle fits in with that,” Dave points out. “You have a clean bed and bath, access to your own things, and you can take your pets with you.” These advantages factor into cost savings as well – no large hotel bills and no trips to the pet kennel with RV travel. Many amenities are available on certain RV models in addition to refrigerator, air, heat and shower, such televisions and outside stereos. Technology has made setting up your own “home away from home” easier than ever before with electric awnings, electric stabilizer jacks, and electric tongue jacks. “You don’t have to crank anything up anymore,” Dave says. To illustrate the lower cost of an RV vacation, Dave compares a typical weekend at the lake in an RV to a family of four outing to the movies on a Saturday night. “When you go to the movies, you are going to spend at least $50 – more if you get soft drinks and popcorn,” he says. “You spend less than that for a weekend hookup for your

RV at the lake, where you spend two days as opposed to two hours.” For a $125-a-month payment, a family could obtain a nice travel trailer for these weekend vacations. “I know people who spend more than that on their cable or satellite TV,” Dave adds. “And it’s less than a car payment.” In fact, he goes further to point out that for the same price as a typical car payment, a family could get a mini motor home. Taking all of these factors into account, Dave has one word of “caution” for anyone who wants to join the growing ranks of RV owners: be prepared to get hooked. “Most people who get an RV don’t give it up until they cannot physically travel anymore,” he says. “People fall in love with this lifestyle. It’s hard to give up.”

Are You at a Loss for Insurance Options? The Holmes Organisation recently launched a technology system allowing employers and employees to participate in defined contribution health plans.

By Sheryl Sowell The Holmes Organisation recently announced the launch of a private exchange technology system that provides employers and employees the ability to participate in one of the fastestgrowing trends in health insurance – defined contribution health plans. Like the 401k transition of years ago, this trend will continue as group insurance plans become less and less viable due to cost and regulations. According to Mike “Zig” Ziegenhorn of The Holmes Organisation, a defined contribution health plan is an important alternative to traditional group health plans for those who can no longer qualify for or afford them, and they are growing rapidly in popularity. Rather than paying a portion or all of a premium, under a defined contribution health plan, an employer can offer no contribution at all or if preferred, set aside a fixed dollar amount each month for employees to use to pay for their choice of individual health insurance or other medical costs such as doctor visits, dental insurance, and prescription drugs, often on a pre-tax basis.

Jim Millaway and Mike Ziegenhorn of The Holmes Organisation. This approach allows even the smallest of businesses to offer their employees quality health-related benefits, while maximizing the IRS-approved benefits of tax savings for both the employer and employees. James Millaway of The Holmes Organisation explains that these plans are an excellent alternative for restaurants, small familyowned businesses, staffing companies, and those who do part time or contract work. “The problem we see from an insurance perspective is that

many people are without access to employer provided insurance,” said Millaway. “This plan is not one size fits all, but there are so many people who can receive long-term benefits from it.” Employees participating in a defined contribution program through their employer are directed to The Holmes Organisation private exchange website, where they can compare and select a policy from among a variety of individual health plans being offered by health insurers in the Tulsa and northeast

Oklahoma area.Visit the private exchange website and compare your plan options at exchange.theholmesorg.com. Zig wants to let area businesses know that the private exchange is a tool that provides employees with more choice and makes it possible to more effectively provide services to large numbers of individuals and their families rather than employer groups. Employees can choose to be connected to live experts, licensed in all 50 states, who can provide them the best options for their family regardless of pre-existing conditions or budget. “We reach out to everyone who visits the website,” said Millaway. “The site is user friendly, but we’re here to help people understand all of their options.” Experts will look for the right plan in four different markets: 1. Personal health plans– all the major carriers, medically underwritten 2. Short-term medical plans– fewer UW requirements, lower cost 3. State & federal risk pools– must qualify, guaranteed issue 4. Limited benefit plans– low-cost options, guaranteed issue

The Private Exchange is not limited to just health insurance solutions, although that is the greatest concern for most employers and employees. “We have experts available in life insurance, long-term care insurance, Medicare supplements, voluntary benefits (accident, critical illness, hospital indemnity), and even property and casualty insurance,” said Zig. Forward thinking employers have already begun adopting The Holmes Organisation’s solution to their benefits challenges. Early adopters to this model are finding it to be the perfect solution, especially if they had given up on offering their employees any type of benefits. “Now you can offer access to individually-owned, selected benefits at little or no cost to you the employer. In fact, many are seeing savings and no financial obligations,” added Zig. More information about defined contribution plans and The Holmes Organisation services can be found at www.theholmesorg.com.
